DELAYED STORY TELLS
ABOUT YANKEE HEROISM
Engineering Feat Acciomplish
ed When Americans
Bridged Meuse.
; By Webb Miller
(United Press staff correspondent)
"With the American Armies in Franca
Sov. 6. (Delayed) There are numer
ous tales of individual heroism as the
Yankees push on in their peace drive.
One of the most spectacular was furn
isaed by Lieutenants B. 0. Acorn (f)
ami. W. Darwin of Chicago, aviators,
wko yesterday engaged in the stiff est
Sighting north of Beaumont. German
machine gunners forced the two to
land close to the enemy nests. Instead
of surrendering the Americans used
the guns on their planes to hold off
the ioocheg until darkness fell. Then
they escaped and reached the Ameri
can lines this morning. The doughboys
are having the greatest ' difficulty in
Batching up with the Germans. Our ar
tillerymen are using great numbers of
captured enemy cannon and motor
tracks are gathering' up deserted am
munition, food and other supplies.
These trucks sometimes are operating
Tar ahead of the doughboys, who fiuu
everything ready pr them when they
advance.
i Under Shell Fire
One of the greatest feats of engin
eering work ever accomplished by the
American army was the bridging' of
the Meuse in the region of Stenay,
where the Yanks wee under terrific
cite 11 fire. In building the pontoons
they used boehe boats and materials

tcau-Thierry. These had been brought
from Germany foi the kaiser's Paris
offensive in July. There was more than
enough material to cross the Meuso,
which was flooded to a mile in width,
thanks to the boches' ambitions last
I summer.
Hundreds of civilians robbed by the
Germans have been rescued by Ameri
leans, as the latter have taken village
' after village. The boch'j' last occu
pation was always the requisitioning of
the remaining goods from Ihe impover
ished natives. Yankee trnctfs are bring
ing the refugees back out of the range
of shell fire. Women and children grate
i fully tell of how the first wave of
; dougbboyg shared their food with them
j After a terriole bombardment,- I
heard voices speaking in a strange
'language outside," said Mine. Mario
;Fournicr of LaNcuvillc. "I soon knew
it was not the boches. I had never
seen an American before, but. I knew it
jwas the Americans who had come. The
Germans had said the Americans were
I wild and barbarous. We did not believe
jit.
, "When the first Americans opened
packages of hard tack and shared it
with the children, We were very sad
because we had nothing to give these
kind Soldiers no tea, no coffee, no
wine."
Boys Teed Tots
Three tots, Yvonne, Louikette and
Jeane, all under ten, dirty, climbed on
to a motor truck, their hands cram
med with food the dougbboyg had giv
en them. Yvonne, who is under, four,
said she had never seen her father,
who is a Bailor stationed at Marseilles.
The Americans are sending the family
to. him.
A pioneer unit rushed ahead under
orders to conduct its own campaign and
choose its own front, but tn establish
cofitact with the enemy. Thj Salvation
Army lassies, Margaret Shehion of Chi
cago, Anna Swenson of St. Paul and
Louise Young of Ppughkeepsie, trying
to keep pace with the advance, reach
ed a battered town at four in the morn
ing. A tent already had been erected by
the supply train and the girls were or
dered to pile into it and get some sleep
Instead of resting, they started to
work. Before 9 o'clock they had made
2000 doughnuts and were serving them
with chocolate along the lines. When
bocho shells whistled overhead the
doughboys would duck into nearby
shell holes, but the girls never moved.
They made doughnuts all morning un-
uer constant bombardment, ;
earby, other 'Salvation . Army wo
men were acting as nurses. iu first aid
hospitals. ' . -. .
The. Salvation Army is planning to
keep in touch with the Americans till
the last man returng home.
y GRAIN FUTURES HIGHER.
Chieago, Nov. 13. A better cash de
mand caused higher prices on grain fu
tures on the Chicago board of trade to
day. Some traders believed that the
New York cotton exchange order pro
hibiting short selling influenced sellers
,hcre. l'rovisions were steady to lower.

Loudon, Oct. 31. (By mail.) Inves
tigation of the alleged Chicago beef
trust is being demanded by members
of parliament and a section., of the
British press. .. yf
Bitter criticism of American meat
packers is expressed in such head lines
as these: ' , - -
"At the mercy of the meat trust."
"Inquiry needed into workings of the
United States concern."
Answering the statement of H. 11.
Cautley, member of parliament, that
the food control' departments of Great
Britain and America are being inn to
gether to a great extent and that Amer
ican influence in the direction of their
policy is very strong and is exercised
in the interest of the alloged American
meat trust, J. R. Clyne British food
controller, declared the charge is a
gross misrepresentation." .
Cuutloy, however, is. not without sup-1
port. Sir John ' Taverher, who for
eleven years was agent' at Victoria,!
Australia, advocates a probo. t
"Mutton in Australia was comman
deercd by the government and cheer
fully relinquished by the producers at
twelve cents a pound, ' ' said Ta vomer
"It costs two cents a pound to do-
liver it hero and should have sold with
a reasonable profit' at 19 to ,20 cents.
Instead, it was sold at 2(1 to 40 cents a
pound. Australians wrote,, me indig
nantly about it when they ' hoard 6t
those high prices for moat they had re
linquished at twelve cents a pound.
"When complaint was made lido wu
were told that the government had to
average up their prices. In other words
they used this Australian meat to makfi
up their losses on the excessive prices!
they paid the American moat tiust.
'It has always seemed the greatest
injustice that the Australian meat,
which is cheap, should !be handed over
to our allies,'-while to the British peo
ple should be left the dear, meat of the
American trust.- That iji Why. -I think
there should be an impartial inquiry."

This was indicated today by Chair
man Baruch following a conference
with the steel committee of tho Ameri
can Iron und Steel Institute. '
Buruch said that priccg will continue
to be fixed by tho price fixing commit
tee in accordance with tho demand as
they are allowed by cancellation of war
contracts.
To date no munitions contracts have
been cancelled by tho war department.
J. Leonard Iteplogle ,stocl adminis
trator, said before the meeting that he
has received estimates for steel re
quired by tho Fronch and Italian gov
ernment for reconstruction . purposes
and. that they amount to millions of
tons. The production of this steel
probably will be considered. "
The fuel administration is working
in concert with the' war industries
board in the lifting of restrictions. It
was announced that all limitations had
been removed on the use of fuel in tho
production of building material, Inciiid
ing brick, cement, lumber, etc.- This
policy will be followed in other indus
