The Boches are substi tuting frequent bombardments of high explosives and gas for German troops. This Is also taken by American officers to Indicate that the enemy is uneasy. In all sectors the enemy's outer posi tions, trenches and gas projectors hv been badly damaged by the American ar tillery witnout causing any reprisals from the Germans. , New Type of Shells Seat Over American patrols this mornlne- pene trated the German wires in the Toul sec tor and found a number ef German bodies in the enemy's advanced positions. l nese Boches are believed ta have been killed by the American bombardment German machine . guns are active against Seicheprey (In the Toul sector). in tne Lorraine ana Verdun sectors, American patrols penetrated the Ger man wtres easily and conducted exten sive explorations without encounterlnf Shells heaved over by the German gas projectors recently are of a new type, now popularly designated as "tin cans." They are 18 inches long and eight Inches In diameter, blunt at both ends and con tain three or four gallons of liquid which evaporates rapidly and throws off a gas. The projectors are not rifled and it Is possible to throw these new missiles only a short distance. Trick Falls oa Doughboys The gas is a form of phosgene and Is capable of spreading a dangerous vapor over an area of 50 yards. The Germans shoot "sneeze gas" first, then the phosgene, attempting to give the Yankees a whiff of the former, to torce tnem to remove their gas masks and sneeze, thus enabling tne phosgene to do its deadlier work. The trick failed, as the doughboys are too handy with their masks. THREE AMERICANS ROUT OFFICER AND 12 HUNS By Frank J. Taylor With the American Army in Lor raine. May 13. (U. P.) Three Amerl can soldiers started a private war of their own yesterday in a certain sec tor of Lorraine. They successfully stormed a German stronghold, and, after partially cleaning it out came back for reinforcements and went over again to complete the job. . The success of the second under taking is not known. A German sniper's position had been causing considerable trouble. The three Americans, whose names cannot be given, got together and planned to put this- particular bunch of Boches out of business. Without calling for any artillery pre paration or barrage 'or any other fancy appurtenances of modern warfare, they leaped over the parapet and started running across No Man's land, in t ull view of both armies. ' . Arriving at the enemy post, they tumbled into the trench and encountered a ? German officer and 12 men. The Boches ran up to a connecting trench so fast that the three doughboys only Vbir War EDITED BV Use next winter's shelve to measure this summer's war garden. Have you done It yet?

The people of Scotland are nearer to the war than we are and they are plowing up their pasture land so that it may Increase the production of food. "Although such tut agricultural policy means a probable decline in the famous sheep and general livestock industries of Scotland, the tillage of more land is considered vitally necessary, reads the report. Estimates have been placed on a per man basis. An acre of potatoes sup plies food for one man 1504 days; an acre of wheat, food for one man 700 days; an acre of oats supplies food for one man 470 days, while an acre of medium pasture supplies food for one man 40 days and poor pasture food for one man only S days. had time to kill the officer and four of hia men. Those that got away were yelling for help at every jump. In a few momenta a larger force of the enemy was heard coming , toward the post The dough boys, however, stripped the dead offi cer of his papers, containing a code book and other important information, before leaving. ' They ran back to the American lines pursued by a flock of Boche bulletn. Their success won them plenty of re cruits for another personally conducted raid, organized forthwith. Reports of this second daring operation have not yet been received. GREAT BLOW ON TWO FRONTS IS PREDICTED (Continued Front Page One) Slav-German provinces deny such a dos siblllty.

After carefully studying reports obtained throughout the state In connection with the farm labor and crop survey conducted by his department in conjunction with J. W. Brewer, farm help specialist. Labor Commissioner O. P. Hoff today ex pressed the opinion that crops will be handled in this state this year without serious labor shortage. While many harvest handa this year will be unskilled, yet Mr. Hofflsays there will be enough to cope with the Situation. "While enlistments for war and extraordinary prices paid by war in dustries In cities have attracted labor from the farm." says Mr. Hoff, "it is believed that the adoption of a uniform wage of 360 per month in wheat raising counties will have a tendency to over come this difficulty in a large degree, while at the same time it will remove two other difficulties heretofore experi enced that of doing away with bid ding between farmers for labor and eliminating, to a considerable extent, at least, the constant movement of tran sient labor on the lookout for better pay." He saya that the greatest shortage will be experienced In berry fields and orchards, but It is expected that ap proximately 10,00'J boys, women and girls, who are being recruited for work in these fields, will relieve the condi tion very materially. "Women, who can always be de pended upon in any emergency, will play an important part in all lines of war industry.' says Mr. Hoff, "and I be lieve they will form "a very Important part in the successful conduct of the war harvest" The farm survey reports show an In crease of winter' wheat acreage of 45.5 per cent over 1917, while spring wheat shows an increase of 6.6 per cent. It is estimated that the wheat yield for 1918 In Oregon is 19.739,000 bushel3, as compared with 12,811.000 In 1917. Would-Be Suicide Hurls Razor Tacoma. Wash.. May 13. (L N. S.)
