BATTLE CIRCLES
ABOUT CIERGES,
"CITYJF Dl-AD"
Two Divisions of Han 'Heavies.'
Pitted Against Well-Fed '
Yanks in Hot Fight
atSergy,;
..'1
London, Aug. 2. The tide of bat
tle on the American front drifted
somewhat eastward on Wednesday,
ail the most severe fighting occurring
in the vicinity of Cierges, says Reu
ter's -correspondent on the American
front, telegraphing Thursday eve
ning. ''Cierges," continues the correspon
dent, "has for some dayi been a
stumbling block to our advance, and
it is noteworthy that it and the Meu
niere wood formed strong centers of
opposition during the first German
retreat from the Marne.
"Cierges itself is unoccupied by
either side, neither having any wish
to be in there, for the village is in
a deep cup, in which the gas lies 10
feet deep. So it remains and so it
will remain as long as the still sum
mer weather lasts a village of the
dead, of dead cats, rats and mice,
with ail the herbs and flowers that
had blessed it burnt and blighted.
"Meanwhile the battle circles about
it on the surrounding hills, the Amer
icans fighting towards it up the Ourcq
valley and over the high ground
north of Roncheres, and down from
the hills near Sergy, while the Ger
mans, after filling the village with
gas, illustrated, from the crests to
the north and the east, what could be
accomplished in a deterrent way with
machine gun fire."
Hun "Heavies" Routed.
Fighting of the most bitter nature
marked the American advance east
and southeast of Sergy on Thursday,
says Reuter's correspondent on the
American front.
Bellevue farm, north of Cierges.
was the German strong point, and
their gun nests about it were ' con
cealed cleverly in the ripening wheat
"This kind of fighting," the cor
respondent continues, "is slow busi
ness and bad business for the side
that tries to hurry it, unless it has
I an overwhelming power of guns, and
in this open fighting guns cannot be
concentrated as they are for trench
-Attacks.
; "Two divisions opposed to the
Americans were the 200th Jaeger di
vision, which seemed to be composed
of stout fellows from various Ger
man states, and the 216th, which was

front in Flanders. They did not ap
pear to be such good material as the
other divisions. One youngster of. 19
said he had been a year in service,
but that this was hi? first fight. He
avowed with tears that he did not like
it. Others prisoners, being asked why
the Americans were beating them, re
plied: " 'The Americans have good food in
their stomachs, while the Germans
Sonly. : have poor stuff that no' one
!could fight upon.'
' "Not far from this front a somewhat
pathetic, group was found. There
werc five Germans and an officer on
' one side of it and four Americans on
the other. It had been a fight to the
finish and the last American to sur
iw Vinrl thrust his hsvonet downward
into the earth to signify that he was-
the last; one to see it through.
"Meanwhile the fighting had been
prbceeding between Sergy and Ser
inges with much of the old bitterness.
The fashion in which the enemy met
the American infantry attack showed
he had no intention of retiring unless
compelled by superior forces.
"Prisoners from the 201st division
declare that their orders were to hold
the line at all costs, especially at Hill
184 (northwest of Seringes). They
seemed to have little doubt that
there is no lack of troops behind
them."
Convulsions of Unknown .
Cause Strike Lead Worker
After suffering seven convulsions
from unknown cause, George L. Cope,
1707 Leavenworth street, was taken to
the Lord Lister hospital at an early
hour Friday morning in the police
ambulance. He was attended by Dr.
T. W. Torpy and Dr. A. J. Edstrom,
night police surgeon.
John Briscoe, who occupies the
room next to Cope in the apartment
house in Leavenworth street, and
other roomers were unable to give
any information as to the cause of
Cope s coddition. Cop called to Bris
coe, "Come, help me, John," jn a faint
voice from his room, where he was
lying on the bed. Neither of the
physicians was able to tell the reason
for Cope's condition.
Cope is employed in the lead de
partment at the American Smelter
, tompany. He came home about mid
night and shortly afterwards was
taken ill. A bottle half full of lini
ment was found in his room, but
there was nothing to indicate that he
had swallowed some of the liniment
or that he was suffering from lead
, colic. ,
Berger Scores Officers
Who Are Tardy in Court
Acting, City Prosecutor John M.
Berger in police court Friday morn
ing scored the dilatory methods of
police officers who fail to appear on
time against offenders whom they
have arresteJ.
"Every morning since I hai- been
acting as prosecutor the court has
been delayed an hour or more in wait-
inc for these nffire-re tn snnear Thr
is no excuse for such methods. In
some instances cases have to be car
ried over until the next day because
the arresting officer fails to show
up."
Court was delayed an hour Friday
morning because some officers did
not appear to testify against the per
sons arrested.
Police Are Called When Girl

Jessie Sherwood, ah inmate of the
Omaha detention hospital, so strenu
ously objected to being relieved of her
eigarets when placed in the home
that a hurry call was sent to the po
lice station for assistance. She was
taken from the hospital . to the city
jail, where she was charged with dis
orderly conduct 1

No Change in Rule as
to Amount of Wheat
a Family May Secure
. ,- . ... t.
According to Deputy Food Admin
istrator Lau there are some persons
who are under the impression that
restrictions relative to the purchase
and consumption of wheat have been
removed. "This is all a mistake," says
the food dictator. Said Mr. Lau:
"The rules at this time are in force
the same as they have been in the
past The government requirements
limit the consumption of wheat flour
to householders to six pounds per
month per person. In addition, there
must be purchased and consumed an
equal quantity of the accredited sub
stitutes. Purchase of the substitutes
must be made at the same time as the
purchase of wheat flour.
"The same rule applies with the
farmer as with the town man, or wo
man, the only difference being that the
farmer may go to the mill and there
exchange his wheat for flour, but in
doing so he must sign a certificate
that the wheat was grown upon his
own land or upon land leased by
him. He must sign another certificate
to the effect that in accepting the
flour in exchange for his wheat, be
will buy the accredited subsitutes,
pound for pound and will use. them in
connection with the consumption of
the wheat flour. ,
Nemaha County Picnic is to
. Be Held at Elmwood Park
A meeting of the committees on ar
rangement ior the Omaha Nemaha
county association picnic met at the
home of Edson Rich, 3220 Harney
street Thursday night and finally de
cided on the use of Elmwood park
for the picnic, which is to be held
Saturday afternoon, August 10.
On account of sugar conservation
all of those who attend the picnic are
requested to bring their own "sweet
enin'." The event will be in the na
ture of an old-fashioned basket pic
nic, in which every family is requested
to bring their own picnic viands, also
to provide cups, spoons, forks and
paper plates.
No formal invitations will be issued
but every person in Douglas county,
Council Bluffs and nearby points who
formerly lived in Nemaha county,
Neb and. there are nearly a thousand
here, are invited to be present. TJiere
will be an old-time reunion, plenty of
games and amusements for all, singing
led by Miss Fannie Arnold, and a
speech by T. D. Blackburn, member
of a pioneer family of Nemaha county.
Daylight Motor Theft.
In order to properly exprf's his ap
preciation of the visit to Omaha of
Henry Ford, some person, to the po
lice as yet unknown, helped himself
to a Ford car Friday morning at 8:30,
from the corner of 20th and Pierce
streets. The . car . belonged ; to R.

Officers RecaUecl
From France to Train
New Units for Army
Washington, Aug. 2. The Ameri
can "forces in France have reached
such high" proficiency in the new
methods of warfare that they are to
furnish' instructors for the new units
being organired in the United States.
No additional instructors from the al
lied armies will be asked except pos
sibly in special technical cases.
"The War department has ordered
a number of officers back from France
to command brigades in the 12 new
divisions, the formation of which re
cently were announced by. General
March, chief of staff.
Among the officers known to have
received their orders are Brig.-Gen.
Douglas MacArthur, who is to go tp
Camp Mead, Md., and Brig.-Gen.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, who went over
seas "as .a .colonel of engineers, to
Camp Lewis, Wash.
The chief of staff has' announced
that each new division will be formed
around a nucleus of two veteran in
fantry regiments. The units available
in the United States for this purpose
has been practically exhausted and it
is considered likely that regiments
from the first American contingent
will be brought home to service as
foundations for later additions to the
army.
Americans Put Out of Action
Six Thousand Huns in Day
London. Auff. 2. "That the Germane
actually took the offensive on the
American front is the most siirnifirant
of events," says the Reuter tjorre-
sponaent at American headquarters
under date of Wednesday evening.
"Their attack were o-pntitnr effnrte in

Auction of Chinese
Geese for Red Cross
Will BeHeld Tonight
Tsousands interested in war gar
dens, poultry raising and conservation
have paused to listen to the songs of
Caruso and Mclba, the two beautiful
white Chinese geese donated to the
Red Cross by William Welch through
The Bee and now residing in a wire
summer house on the court house
lawn.
They have made numerous friends
during their week on the lawn and
many have held remarkable conversa
tions .with them, Melba has all the
feminine characteristics of getting the
last word. She talks back as long
as her friends are in sight and is
sure to have the final say-so.
Saturday night this pair will change
their residence. Perhaps they will
go to some nice place where there
is a little water, in the outskirts of
Omaha. They are hoping so, accord
ing to interpreters of goose language.
They were imported from China re
cently and Mr. Welch was offered
$100 for the pair for breeding pur
poses. He refused it because his
mind had been fully made up to do
nate hi prize to the Red Cross.
A. L. Dowd will act as auctioneer
Saturday night at 8 o clock on the
court house lawn after a program
including a band and one of Omaha's
most patriotic speakers.
Mrs. Frank Adams, chairman of the
salvage department of tne Red Cross,
has the work in charge.

"Our board probably will keep Mr.

bers of the board will be increased,
but we have a good organization and
anticipate that everything will run
along smoothly in the interim."
It is proposed to increase the duties

Yaser Freezes His - n
Hands While Omahans, ,
Are Sizzling in the Heat
' 3
Br-r-r-. shuddered Bill Yager, own
er of the Curo Mineral Springs com
pany, as he nursed a frozen hand and
rushed for a snowdrift in which to
bury it.
No, the heat has not effected any
one connected with the story and
Yager has a badly frozen hand to
prove that although the thermometer
may register over 90 it is no reason
why a peaceful citizen of pmaha may
not freeze his hand on iU'rr.ain avenue
of commerce.
This is the wondrous tale: .Yaget
was unloading a tank oi highly com
pressed ammonia. The valve on tb
tftnk, however, was out ot commission.
While striving to repair it a leak was
sprung which Yager muffled with hfs
hand as he worked over the defective
valve. When the recreant outlet was
again in shape, Yager withdrew his
hand which had a stiff ai.d numb feel
ing. Realizing that it was frozen by
the escaping ammonia he rushed for a
snowdrift which by some mistake fl
nature's part, was not at hand, ; J
He is not contemplating a trip W
Alaska for the necessary snow.
