I The front occupied by the One Hun- , flred Sixty-eighth regiment, near Ba- i donvlllers. had been under a severe artillery attack on the fourth and a i trench mortar platoon had been almost completely destroyed. The French army commander congratulated General .Menoher on the way In which our troops repulsed this raid.

After tt c r instruction the cooks in these units did better, thanks to the Initiative of this fine old French general. M.tny of the cooks of the old nrmv became experts and the men In early days in the West fared better a« n rule than our men In France, where the cooks lacked experience. Personal supervision by officers and the estab llstnfient of cooking schools brought Improvement |n due course. However, there la little doubt that much of the Inteat Inal trouble In our divisions during the early part of their service abroad was caused by poorly cooked food- . ? Secretary Baker Arrives. Secretary Baker arrived at Brest March 10. ■» my diary showed. and I met him and his party In Paris the next morning The secretary's party .1 consisted of Maj. Gen. W. M. Black, chief of engineers; Lieut Col. M. L. Brett. Commander IL D. White of the navy, and Halph Hayes, his secretary. It was essential that the secretary receive every opportunity to Inspect our whole layout, from the front areas to the services of supply, that be might become familiar with plans, observe the progress made toward their completion. and obtain first-hand information of vur requirements, all of which he was especially anxious to do. Leaving Paris March 12 we inspected our most Important ports, depots, hos- * pltals. regulating stations, motor parks and schools, and returned March 17 to my headquarters at Chaumont: The main air service school at IsAoudun. which we visited, was a hive o? activity, being one of the fifteen schools where early Instruction In flying was given. General Foulois and Colonel Kllner went with us through the school, the shops and the Red Cross and "Y" buildings. I think the secretary was surprised to see here the really expert flying considered necessary to prepare aviators for their hazardous life at the front Moving Supplies to Troops. At Glevres. about 125 miles directly south of Paris, on our main line of supply, running to the front, were 20,000 men employed under Cot Charles J. Symmonds. managing our largest Interior depot To illustrate the celerity with which the system operated we need take but one example, which occurred when everything in the depot was in full ■vine.' ) At 8115 one morning In August a telegram was received ordering exactly 4,596* tons of supplies, including L--230,000 cans of tomatoes, 1,000,000 pounds of sugar. 000.000 cans of ■ corned tees. 730.000 pounds of tinned bash an 1 150,000 pounds of dry beans.

tion, which required 457 cars for transport, was loaded and on its way to the advance depot. No other place gate such an Impression of the tremendous task of supply- 1 ing our armies and! the perfection of organization necessary to do It efficiently. j The secretary got a bird's eye view i of the general plan which would pro vide the supplies for an army of 2,- < 000.000 and which, additional construction. would be able to meet the demands of an army twice that size. Barit at Chaumobt I received word that arrangements had been niade for , the shipment of six!divisions for training with the British—the Seventy-sev-enth. • Eighty-second. Twenty-eighth. Seventy-eighth. Eightieth and Thirtieth. CHAPTER XXXI March 21 the gjreat German offensive begun against! the British armies between the Oise and the Scarpe. near the Junction of the French and British lines, on a front about fifty miles In length, extending from near La Fere to Arras. Near trie center of the at-_ tack was General Gough's Fifth army, with, the Third army under General Byng on Its left. The artillery bombardment preceding the infantry advance was of short duration, but of great Intensity, with excessive use of gas shells. Following a heavy barrage the German Infantry. using the |same tactical methods that had been so successful at Elga and Carporetto. delivered Its blow. The weather favored the enemy as a heavy fog‘coin tinned intermittently for three days! much to the disadvantage of the (defense. The overwhelming force or sixty four especially trained German divisions out of their one hundred ninety-two then on the western front compelled the British lines to yield. (Although at the eml of the first day the Fifth army had not entirely given away. Its losses had reached several i thousand, and there was no questlop that the Germans were making a serious attempt to separate the-British and French armies. British Pushed Back 37 Miles.

in the next tw6 or three d ivs were put into battle by (General Fayole without regard to the (integrity of units or the order-of their entry, some of .them being veryishort of ammunition. The British Fifth army was evidently overwhelmed from the start, yet no British rehifiircemeii's w.-re s<-nt to Gough unt.l the 24th. and then only one division, [no others arriving during the first week. By the fifth day the German forces had driven a aajlent into the British front some thirty-sev-en miles dt4p and were threatening the important railway center of Amiens, the capture of which would probably have made a complete breach between ,tbe French and British armies. In the moment of greatest stress, when it seemed very doubtful whether the German (advance could be stopped. General Petain sent the following order to his Brinies: “The enenly has hurled himself rfpon uilna supreme effort. “He wants to separate us from the English so an to open the way to Parts.

Remarkable Jaw Power of East Indian Lizard

The Strength of jaw of warmblooded animats cannot compare with that of reptilea, an article in Pearson’s Weekly points out The bulldog and mastiff are famous for their strength of grip and the hyena is said to be able to bite through, the thigh bone of an ox to extract the marrow, but they take hack seats to the power and tenacity of a lizard'in the Calcutta reptile house. The lizard was of the sort known as the “ go-samp" and weighed about 100 pounds. As it was being drawn out of the cage which It shared with the pythons, it seized a twelve foot snake by the neck. Locked together, the two creatures were drawn out. Keepers made every effort to lever the jaws of the lizard apart. But It was useless, and the python’s reck was flat as a pancake when at last the lizard let go. A record Illustration of the muscular power of the turtle was given by the late Frank Bullen. He and his nates captured an immense turtle

ing. All together you will throw yourselves upon the invader. “The battle is on. Soldiers of the Marne, of the Yser and of Verdun, I call upon you. The fate of France hangs in the balance.” The reports from the Trent gave an extremely dark picture of disaster, and 1 felt we should do everything possible to render assistance. It was to offer General Petain such of our troops as could be used that I went to Compiegne March 25. The general's customary confident and nonchalant attitude was entirely gone and he wore a very worried expression. I told him that for the moment I should waive the idea of forming the 1 corps and that any of our divisions that could be of service were at his disposal, but with the qualifying remark that of course we should look forward eventually to their assembly under their own commander. March 24 it developed that the French divisions had received orders that if the enemy continued his drive in the direction of Amiens they were to fall back so as to cover Paris. Marshal HaFg. fearing that this would result in separating the two armies, at once conimuidbated the situation to his government This brought about an important conference at Doullens March 26 between members of the British and French governments, 'n which it was dechled that some authority should be designated to co-or-dinate the action of the two armies, and General Foch was selected. 1 was not present at the Doullens conference, but upon learning of its action it seemed essential that General Foch himself should know our desire to do what we could to strengthen the allies. The British loss was then estimated at not less than 15(htMM.l. , 1 recall meeting Lord Northcliffe March 24 and found him almost unable tospeak of it. so many of his friends had lost relati' es. The depression among their people was probably worse than at any other period of the war. Among the French there was much anxiety as to the safety of Paris and there was talk of the government having to move to Bordeaux again, as it had done in 1914. The allied lines had not been stabilized and although I had offered our troops to Petain it seemed to me that It might be well to make it emphatic that I was ready to put Into lattle everything we could muster. I had often thought of the ’ possibility of having to do this, and I

went'to find out the situation and let General Foch know our attitude. Gives Word to Foch. As we entered General Foch's farmhouse headquarters near Clermont-sur-Oise, Clemenceau. Foch, Petain and Loucheur wen Intently studying a map spread out on the table. The situation was pointed out to me, showing thht already the British had used thirty divisions and the French seventeen against the Gei •nans’ seventyeight It seemed to be tM opinion that , the British Fifth army was getting back on Us feet and that the lines would bold for the time being. I Intimated that I had come to see General Foch ahd the others withdrew Into the yard, leaving us alone. 1 told him that the Americans were ready and anxious to do their part In this crisis, that I was willing to send him any troops we had. and asked for suggestions as to bow we might help. He was evidently very much touched and In his enthusiasm took me by the arm and without hesitation rushed me out across the lawn to where the others stood, and asked me to repeat what I bad said to him. 9 They, of course, showed keen inter-

est especially M. Clemenceau, u I told them what I had said to General Foch. Pershing’s Offer of Troops. It appeared in the French papers the next morning, although I feel certain that it was written up in much better French than I actually used. The English translation follows: “1 have come to tell you that the American people would consider it a great honor for our troops to be engaged in the present battle; I ask you for this in their name and my own. “At this moment there are no other questions but of fighting. “Infantry, artillery, aviation, all that we have are yours; use them as you wish. More will come, in numbers equal to requirements. “1 have come especially to tell you that the American people will be proud to take part in the greatest battle of ! history.” If the responsibility had been mine I should not have hesitated a moment to put into the battle any or all of our five divisions then in France. The I First was the only one used for the time being, the others being placed in quiet sectors, each to relieve two French divisions. As our divisions were more than twice as large as theirs it amounted to almost immediate reinforcement of ten divisions. At the time of the German attack a battalion of the American Sixth regiment of engineers was on duty behind the British Fifth army, engaged In railway construction and repairs. These troops were given arms and participated with the British forces in the defensive operations until after the lines . were stabilized. CHAPTER XXXII Secretary of War Baker went t» London to discuss with the British authorities the prospects for additional , shipping and also the general subject of munitions. While there he sent me the following telegram March 25, 1918, embodying suggestions from the prime minister which showed the deep anxiety of the British: “1 have just had a long talk with the prime minister. He urges three proposals for your consideration, first, that our divisions in France be placed Immediately in line to relieve French , divisions for service elsewhere, quiet sectors, being chosen for troops with i least training. “Second, that all available engineer ; troops be taken from lines of communication work and sent to aid of British engineers preparing positions back of present lines. It is urged that suspension of our work would be but temporary and that the work suggested is imperative. “Third, that infantry be sent first of the entire six divisions to be transported t|v British in view of present acute needs of that army. No answer j to the foregoing is necessary until I ! see you tomorrow when we can dis- * cuss the suggestions fully.” First Division Ordered Into Line. My diary notes the following: Chaumont,. Friday, March 29, 1918.—Held conference with the secretary of war and General Bliss yesterday* on joint recommendation of military representatives ofjfhe war council. Left Paris this morning for Chaumont. At Petain's request, the First division ordered to battle line. Which Mr. Baker said people at home would enthusiastically approve. Mr. Paul Cravath dined with us this evening, and speaking of unity, favored placing control in the hahds of a committee com- . posed of Marsha.l Haig, General Petain and myself. Council Asks Change in Plans. The situation had become so serious that the military representatives , seemed to think it necessary to recommend that all previous plans for the shipment of American troops be disregarded and that nothing but infantry and machine gun units be shipped until otherwise directed by the supreme war council. This they did in the form j of a joint (or unanimous) note, which WOO, of course, approved by the supreme war council. I 1 was very much surprised at the at> titude of General Bliss, our military representative with the council, as without his consent the joint note could not have been submitted to the council. When the joint note was presented to Secretary Baker I pointed out to him and General Bliss that the proposal. if approved by the President, would place the disposition ofvAmerican units entirely in the hands of the , supreme war council and take them quite out of our control, even for training, and would without doubt destroy all possibility of our forming an American army. The secretary was as strongly op- | posed to any such outcome as L and ! after some discussion he dictated his j views m a cable to President Wilson explicitly recommending that the control of our forces should be retained by our commander in chief and that the note be. approved only In that sense. Reply From .Wilson. The message forwarding the joint note with Mr. Baker’s comment was answered by a cablt from Washington dated March 30. which stated: “The President concurs in the joint note of the permanent military representatives of the supreme war council In the sense formulated in your No. 67 March 28. and wishes you to regard yourself authorized to decide questions of immediate co-operation or replacement” It was thought that this statement? coming from the President would check, at least for the time being, the demands of the allies that we provide units for building up their divisions, but their insistence continued. The President's message was followed March 30 by a cable from the department, which stated: “The recommendations of secretary of war to President . . . that preferential transportation be given to American Infantry and machine-gun units ifi present emergency understood and will be followed.” It went on to say that these units pertaining to three divisions, the Third, Fifth and Seventy-seveiitfc. would be sent at once, and those etf three other divisions about May X (TO BS CONTBiUKD.)

How English Merchant of 1480 Sought Custom One of the earliest posters ever printed in England is to be seen in the Bodleian . library, and concerns | a Saruin service book, printed in 1480 by Caxton. It reads as. follows: “If it pleases any man spirituel or temporal »to bye our pyeS of two or three comniemoracious of Salisburi Use, emprynted after the form of this prese't letre, whiche ben wel and truly correct, late hym come to West- ■ monester’ into the almonestrye at thtj | reed pole, and he shall have them good and chepe.” The manner of presenta- j ! tion Is somewhat unenterprising.

In the spring of 1855 the first treaty between America and Japan, . i providing, among other things, for the | opening of Shimoda to American trad- ' ing vessels, was proclaimed.

Italian Bees Are Most Excellent Superior to German Type and Gather More Honey in Course of Year. The queen is the “better half of the bee family. All efforts of the beekeeper bring only failure unless there is a good queen in the hive, according to B. A. Slocum of Cornell university. “No matter how good our equipment, how well we have packed the bees for winter, how generous we are with winter stores of honey and sugar, or how abundant the nec- ! tar in the blossoms, the swarm cannot make a large crop of honey,” he said, “unless the queen is able to ! maintain a large colony of strong, active, and healthy bees.” Italian Bees Superior. Beekeepers, Mr. Slocum, said, believe Italian bees are much superior ' tb the German bees, commonly known as black bees, in nearly all respects. They are better workers, swarm less, are more gentle, and are much superior in cleaning out European foul- ! brood. , Unfortunately the black bee ] was introduced into the' United States i more than two hundred years before I the Italian bee, and therefore the I blacks have become fairly well established in all 'parts of the country, i They are now found wild in trees and I rocks in every state from coast to i. coast, and in many parts of Canada. Consequently, one very good reason i why beekeepers should rear their own queen bees, or secure them from i reputable breeders, is to get rid of the black bees and hybrids. Prolific Queen Needed. * Every colony must be headed by a 1 good prolific queen. Authorities agree there is not so much difference in i the honey-getting ability inherited by the different colonies as .there is in ! the condition of the colonies; that is, l they produce large honey crops be- | cause conditions within the hives are ideal. This means a large number of strong young bees in heai’hy condition, with conditions around the hive suitable for them to work effectively. The good queen is extremely prolific j and lays around 2,000 eggs a day. Such a queen must be large and should have, a deep body. A great i number of eggs is necessary because 1 the amount of honey made by the I colony varies directly with the num- ■ ber of strong young bees in it Tremendous Increase in the Use of Oil Sprays The use of oil sprays in the East has iiwreased tremendously during the last ten years, mainly because of the prevalence of the European red mite. In consequence, other problems have arisen, such as the combination ! of oils with fungicides and aphicides ' which have in turn reacted upon the oil spray business so that better oils are being marketed than ever before. ( The great variety offered has compli•cated the proper selection of , oil sprays and careful consideration on the basis of cost, safety, toxicity, reliability and compatibility Is necessary. Much .experimentation is needed in this field- Commercial oil emul- : sions have not proved to be better killing agents than miscible oils for I red mites, a fact which deserves consideration. and, finally, studies of ; safety of the various products so far Indicate caution for gears and plums, , together with additional caution on all fruits for the unknown product, especially it the formula is new. Miscible Oil Must Be Thoroughly Emulsified j Miscible oils and various oil emulsions being manufactured from kerosene and’the heavier mineral oils, it is necessary that an emulsion of good quality be produced in order that the I oil may be dispersed Uniformly througn. the diluted spray. If the oil separates I out. injury to the tree ma ensue, f Two types of emulsions are available. one in which the oil is emulsified with soap and cresylic acid or soap alone: the other a nonsoap emulsion in which the oil is dispersed by means of casein or some other protein agent. The latter may be termed a quick breaking type and may be exi pected to give more trouble than the j other. Be Careful in Curing and Storing Soybeans Be careful in curing and storing soybeans. They spoil easily. Watch the beans after threshing to prevent heating and molding. If they are to be used for seed, or if they are immature or contain a high percentage of damaged beans and foreign material, let them dry out thoroughly by spreading them on a floor immediately after threshing and turning them over from time to-time before putting them in sacks or bins. There should be a free circulation of air around the sacks — cross piling them will accomplish this. Home-Grown Grain Used iix Feeding Mixture It Is generally considered that a dairy cow that is fed 30 pounds of corn sitage and 10 to 12 pounds of alfalfa, needs a grain mixture carrying 90 per cent of farm grown grains and 10 per eent of a high protein concentrate, whereas when timothy hay is fed in place of alfalfa the grain mixture should contain about 50 per cent of a high protein concentrate and 50 per cent of one or more of the home grown grains. Thus, when a cow requires 10 pounds of grain a day, and timothy instead of alfalfa constitutes the dry roughage of the ration, only five pounds of home grown grain can be used while the other five pounds must be purchased at around two and a half to three cents a pounds. On the other hand, when alfalfa constitutes the dry roughage of the ration, nine pounds of home grown grain can be used in the grain mixture with only one pound of protein concentrate laving to be purchased.
