Gouraud, the hero of iflie Dardanelles, was the French com mander who barred the advance of the German Crown Prince in the Champagne. It was he who, to tfie east or .Kheims, in one day brought the host of Germans to a standstill. This was done k with only compara tively insignificant losses among his own men in consequence of his ad mirable defensive preparations. About 20 enemy divisions have been identified in the first line of this sec tor of the front alone. By the end of the first day of fighting half of these had been badly mauled. " The precau tion the French had taken before the teuton offensive began was such that the Germans were unable to capture a single prisoner in the Champagne during the several days preceding the attack. The Germans thus were de prived of the possibility of obtaining information regarding the French plans. When the German artillery prepara tion started on the night of the 14th the flashes from thousands of guns were so vivid that they lighted up the streets of Chalons, almost 12 miles from the front. The .French replied with an equally powerful fire, and i everything for many ' miles trembled enffl dawn, when th German, infan- Learn To Dry Food Uncle Sam Will Teach You The government publication shown here explains drying of fruits and vegetables a method of food conservation doubly important this year.

' The advancing waves were of great density, giving the hundreds of French 75s a pointblank tarket. At the same time smal centres of re sistance composed of French advanced posts opened fire with machine guns, which do terrific execution. These isolated detachments held up the enemy masses for several hours, giving ample time for their comrades guarding the line rsistance to organ ize and bring into play all their means of defence. Then they retired slowly, at. times being compelled to fight strong bodies of the enemy, who had succeeded in passing their positions. Lieut. Tranchard, with 25 men, was caught between the French and Ger man barrages and remained fighting half the day. He then cut his way through the enemy's lines at the point of the (bayonet and received the Legion- of Honor on the field. The perfect execution of Gen. Ctou raud's defence plans prevented the enemy from making a breach at, any point on this sector, although during 14 hours the German Crown Prince setn three incesantly renewed waves of his best troops forward in the de termination to get through to Chal- Memorial Services To .Honor Belinsky In honor of Private Samuel Belin sky who is the first Jewish young man- from Bridgeport to be killed in action n th front, every svna?ncr,io ' in the city will hold a special memor ial service tomorrow evening.
