Mis natural paleness, helchtened by ,

American -women are getting the cigarette habit.
Tax figures of the Internal Revenue Bureau, of the
Treasury Department, show that there was an enormous in

War Gardeners Eager For

Conolly's Illness Delays Inspection
of Times' Gardens.
If the crowds of people who throng
ed the office of the central garden
committee yesterday afternoon and
this morning, calling for Depart
ment of Agriculture bulletins on can
ning and drying vegetables and j
fruits. Is any indication of the in
terest taken by the "war gardeners"
of Washington, this city will lead the
rest of the country In the drive for
food preparedness.
II. M. Conolly, Department of Agri
culture demonstrator and chief Judge
In The Times garden contest, has
been flooded with letters and per
sonal requests for the bulletins,
which give a comprehensive survey
of the most advanced methods used
In canning and drying.
The bulletins may be obtained free
of cost at the office of the Central
Garden Committee, room 304, Star
building.
Emphasises Canning,
Mr. Connolly planned to Inspect
demonstration gardens in the north
east section of the city today, but he
was taken III yesterday and will be
confined to his home until Thursday.
"Can something," is to be the slogan
of all gardeners from now until win
ter. Mr. Conolly says that a person
who cultivates a small back yard lot
can do as much for food conservation
as the country farmer if he will culti
vate intensively, and can or preserve
every thing that cannot be consumed
Immediately.
It Is expected that canning clubs
will be organized soon, and that ev
ery housewife in the District will
be asked to contribute her "bit to

"The vrlmary needs for successful
vegetable gardening on a small scale
are the same as those for gardening
on a largo scale," declared Mr. Con
olly, and no matter how; small a gar
den may ue. Its owner, by carefully
arranged rotations, can make every
available foot of space vroduce a
maximum yield "
He wishes to emphasise particular
ly the need of rotation of crops, es
pecially at this time when early veg
etables are being exhausted.
"Plant winter crops as fast as the
vegetables are consumed," Is Mr. Con
oid's advice. The maximum yield of
gardens will be a determining factor
in The Times contest, he said.

TAIIIS, June 50. A tltantlc artil
lery struggle Is in progress on the
greater part of the French front, to
day's war office statement revealed.
Between the Alllette and Moulin
Laffaux and in sections east of
Chevreux woods and north of Tthelms
this fire was heaviest from the Ger
man batteries. A violent bombard
ment of French positions was direct
ed there late at night Along the
Champagne front It was more of a
duel of violence, guns on both sides
roaring unceasingly throughout the
night.
"The Germans unsuccessfully at
tatked a small post near MonMTelan
and Cordlllct and further west fol
lowing a bombardment." the state
ment continued. "The German attack
was dispersed and thrown back to
the trenches from which It started."
The violence of the German artil
lery first suggests the possibility that
Hln enburg may be preparing a coun
ter move against the French. During
the last three days the German flte
has been Intense. The positions under
bombardment are mainly those com
msndlng the valleys leading up to
I.aon. taken by the French in their
April offensive.
ARE YOU MAKING ANY SACRIFICE
TO GIVE TO THE REb CROSS?
Scores of prominent men and women are givinfc all their
time this week to the campaign to raise 500,000 in Wash
ington for the Red Cross, besides giving their money. This is
their sacrifice.
Doctors and nurses of Washington have given up their
work here to go across the seas and minister to the wounded
and dying, not only receiving much less pay for their work, but
risking their lives. This is their sacrifice.
Thousands of mothers in Washington and elsewhere are
sending their sons their loved ones to bleed and perhaps
die on the battlefield of Europe for humanity. This is their
sacrifice.
Thousands of young men of Washington are giving up their
positions their entire incomes as well as offering their lives.
This is their sacrifice.
Are you not willing to do without some luxury or some
fancied necessity, in order to help care for these men who will
be wounded while fighting for you? This will be YOUR
sacrifice.
Sky Fights Furnish War thifills
Machine Gun Battles in Clouds Increase With
Favorable Weather British Flyers Are
Daring in Maneuvers.
By WILLIAM rlllLIP SIHJIg.
"WITH THE BRITISH AEMIES 'AFIELD, May 27 (by
mail). Fighting with machine gun3 and even rith revol
vers pilots of battleplanes are today making the clouds as
hotly a contested battleground as is to be found on the earth
below. Summer skies and fine weather have forced fighting
In the air on a large scale. One Brit
Irh pilot attacked by a German Nleu
port, found his machine gun Jammed.
Immediately he put down his nose
and dived, fixing his gun at the same
time. Relieving the jam he climbed
back to fight and tore off every round
of ammunition he had for the machine
gun. The German, still apparently
unharmed, continued to fight, so the
Kngllsh boy less than twenty-one
years old drawing his Colt's auto
matic pistol, charged straight at the
German, firing seven shots at him at
close range. The aerman toppled and
fell, his machine breaking In two In
the air.
Official Reports ef Air Fights.
Here is the official report of an
other air fight which happened the
same day. Names and numbers only
are omitted:
"Captain Blank, with three others of
the same squadron, dived at a Ger
man aeroplane which they riddled
with bullets and drove down. Then
they saw four red Albatross Scouts,
and Captain Blank engaged one at
close range. Entually the German
machine got Into a favorable position
and Captain Blank Immediately put
his machine Into a spin. On shaking
off the German he at once regained
height and dived at another scout
with whom he fought for a consid
erable time. He finally outmaneu
vered his opponent and the hostile
machine crashed. Shortly he engaged
another machine of the same type,
but he was shot through the wrist
and the top of his control lever was
carried away. Although In great
pain and flying at a dlvadvantage he
succeeded In landing his machine un
damaged on our side of the lines and
then fainted."
While this was happening at one
part of the front another battle was
taking place at another only a short
distance away. A photographic
reconnatsance. with a small escort,
was attacked by seven German
planes. A captain drove down one of
the hostile machines out of control
and then dived at three others which
were following one of our machines
down. He was unable to catch up In
time, however, and our machine was
forced to land in a field, but he eent
ually succeeded In engaging one of
the German machines which crashed
Quite near ours.
Second Lieutenant B. opened fire at
a large white two-seater which went
down and was seen to crash by other
Pilots.
