FRENCH DEFEAT TWO RAIDS
Teutons Are Driven Back From Neuf-
chateI Salient and at PompeIIe
Fort.

Paris, March 4.-Strong efforts made
by German troops to debOuch from the
Neufchatel salient, northwest of Reims,
were frustrated, the French war office
announced in it's statement.
The enemy likewise failed to reach
the Pompelle fort, southeast of Reims,
succeeding only in gaining foothold
with some small detachments to the
west of it.
The French troops, according to the
night report, have completely re-estab-
lished their line at La POmpelle.
London, March 4.-Several German
raids were attempted against the Brit
ish lines on the Franco Belgian front,
but none Of them met with success.
The British took prisoners from the
Germans in these encounters and for
their part successfully raided German
trenches near Armentieres.
Paris, March 5.-"East of the Meuse
we carried out a surprise attack at the
Calonne trenches and penetrated as far
as the fourth German line on a front
of 1000 meters and to depth Of 600
meters,' the war office announced.

tanning munitions and other goods val
ued at 1OO,OOO,OOO rubles (about $780,
OOO), according to advices received
here.
The same dispatch declared the boil
sheviki threatened to requisition for
eign merchant ship for their use and
that allied warships in the harbor were
preparing to land marines.
Foreign Minister Moteno informed
the diet that Japan is negotiating with

STA. Hurried departure for VladivO-
stok of Rear Admiral Tonaka, former
attache at Petrograd, was considered
significant.
London, March 4.-Japan and China
are dispatching troops into Asiatic
Russia, the former into Siberia and the
latter into Manchuria, Tien Tsin news
papers announced, according to dis
patch to the Evening News. The dis
patch added that Gen. Tuan Chi Jul
probably would be the Chinese SUI
preme commander.
A diplomatic correspondent, presum-
ably Japanese, discussing in the Chron-
icle the objects Japan would have in
taking action in Siberia, says that
Manchuria would be the base of the
Japanese operations. Vladivostok, he
points out, is regarded as sufficiently
protected by the japanese fleet.
Washington, March Japan alone
is to take over the policing of Vladi-
vostok to protect some millions of tons
of war supplies which might otherwise
reach the Germans. The United
States and the entente will agree to
this course, it is asserted.

HOOVER LIFTS BAN ON PORK
Temporary Suspension of MeatIess
Meal Also Announced by Food
Administration.

Washington, March 4.-Temporary
suspension of the meatless meal and
of the special restriction against the
use of pork on Saturday was an
nounced on Sunday by the food admin
istration as a reimbursement Of its food
conservation program. Increased meat
production and the necessity for still
greater saving in wheat, it was de-
clared, make the change advisable.
The suspension is made effective for
an indefinite period, and it probably
will last for three months or longer.
Increased meat consumption, food
administration officials believe, will
of itself curtail the use of wheat, and
for the present there is no intention
to add to the restrictions already in
force against the use of flour.
