SEVEN AMERICAN DIVISIONS
CALLED FOR METZ ATTACK
9TH, 2Sth, 33rd, 92nd, 4th, 35th and

(Stars and Strips,)

(Stars and Strips.)
Further light was thrown this week
on the great unfought battle Of the
war, the allied offensive of Nov. IA in
Lorraine which would have forced
the evacuation of Metz and to avoid
which the German general staff put
up its hands. 1t may now be stated
that the American divisions sum
moned for that battle were-taking
them as they were lined up from left
to right when the fighting stopped
the 7th, 2Sth, 39rd, 92nd, 4th, 35th and
SSth. All these were either in the
front line or in reserve when the
whistle blew.
Against these and some 10 French
divisions, the Germans had Just four
divisions available and two OF those
were of poor grade. That much is
apparent in an article just published
in the Journal DIES Debats by Henry
Bidou' the French military critic.
In support Of his argument that the
Germans collapsed because Of a genu-
inc military defeat, Mr.. Bidou says:
at is no secret that the French
army had prepared for Nov. IA a last
attack entrusted to General Mangin
between Metz and Strasbourg in the
general direction Of Sarrebruck. This
attack by development northward
would have cut the lines of operation
of the German armies and, sesarating
them from the Rhine, would have
driven them to certain capitulation.

TOMATOES IN FLORIDA

Reports indicate a large increase in
the acreage of tomatoes in Florida
some 10000 acres compared with Is,
600 last year, with a decrease in the
acreage Of strawberries, says the
State Marketing Bureau. Florida is
the largest shipper of fresh tomatoes
in the Union.
In the first half of the last century
the tomato was considered poisonous,
but it is now one of the most useful
products of the garden in the many
and appetizing ways it can be pre-
pared for the table. 1t is very perish.
able and the utmost care must be
used in preparing it for market.
Parties interested in growing 1t,
and new beginners, can get informa-
ton about it from Farmers Bulletin
No. 220, entitled Tomatoes issued
by the U. s. Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. G. It's diseases
are discussed in Bulletin 81, issued by
the State Experiment Station at
Gainesville, Fla.
There are many varieties, red and
pink in color and of all sizes. More
tomatoes are canned than of any
other product. The stocks of canned
tomatoes in the wholesale houses in
the United States, according to the
latest reports of the U. S. Food Sur
vey was 2S1.SS7,772 pounds, while re-
tail dealers held 94,S21,535 pounds,
of which 95S,S7S pounds were credited
to Florida, or about one pound for
each person in the state, with several
million pounds in the hands of whole
salers. The canned tomatoes con-
sumed in this state, where more are
grown and shipped ripe than from
anywhere else come from distant fac
tories.
Tomatoes are easy to cultivate, and
with reasonable care can be made a
profitable crop, even if only for fam
lily use.

Days Answering Inquiries

The worlds series results given out
by the Perth Amboy EVENING
NEWS every afternoon were received
by q large number of sporting fans.
AS the series progressed a larger
number took their stations between
the NEWS office and the irehouse,
and yesterday afternoon for the dnal
game an enormous crowd was on

The results were received promptly
by the EVENING NEWS from the
Associated Press, who secured them
from the city where the game was
being played. The games started at
2 o'clock in both Chicago and Gin
cinnati, which means 3 o'clock in the
east. Every afternoon the batteries
were published at about 1855 o'clock.
The play by play results were given
out of the office through a mega

game. The local fans were very we'll

| no time forced to stand thinking Of
what was coming next, for the news
kept coming steadily.
From the way the news was re-
ceived one could tell that the local
fans were about even on the series.
Two telephones in the NEWS office
were kept busy from 3 o'clock until

rooters, to defeat the Auditorium
Five, but they will have to go some in
order to register a voctory over the To-
cal boys, and a snappy game is assur-
ed.
Manager Booz believes that with a
strictly Amboy team, he will be able
to make a good name for Perth AM
boy. In McCreery and Regain he has
two classy forwards, who have been
in the game a long time, know the
sport followers, and are capable of
playing a fast game. Thomas at CEN
ter is capable of giving them all a
run He is a great jumper, knows
the game and his ability is well
known.
Evans and Hanson at the guarding
positions should be able to handle the
best that the Michelin crowd can
bring down, Evans has been at the
game a long time, and has shown
what he is capable of doing, while
Hansen has convinced the fans
thoroughly, although last year was his
first big year on the court. Wesley
Hanson will be on hand to be used in
case of emergency.
The Michelins have sent down a
lineup to Manager Booz, which is very
strong, Judging from past perform

The Michelins have always given
good attractions in any sport in which
they were interested. and fans can
refer back to the games they put up
against the Riversides in years back.
The interest In games between AM

very great, and a large crowd is all
ways on hand to watch the games.
When Amboy travels to Midtown,
they always carry with them a large
number of rooters and Midtown will
do the same tomorrow night.
