Wanted to Capture Americans. Some idea of the intensity of the litfhtinn can be gained from the oc- rum nee which resulted In the killing of ihtw American soldiers, the wound- ing of three and the capture of ten otiii.-i-s.\ Mr. Johnson said. \The Ger- mans had a general idea of where the first detachment of American soldiers w;is placed m the trenches. They de- sired to capture some of them to gain some information of the American forf^H in .France. To do this they bombarded about fioo or 700 yards of trenches, then •iifir<p this fire In one section of the iniuhes that a raiding party might entr-r the trench.

GquKerneur, Dec. 12.—It has been foundV^ha^fhere is no wood of any consequence in this town and few far- mejra have any cut, as they have been unable to secure help to cut it. Those who make a business of cutting stove wood during the winter seasons have raised their prices to a point where the wood owner can make no profit from his commodity and he is therefore not anxlouB to get into the business. In some sections from $1.50 to $2 per cord Is being asked for cutting hard wood and there are few who are offer- ing to do,the work at any price. The wood owners are offering $1 per cord. In the* rural 'sections of this town there are many farmers who use coal for heating purposes during the winters and they have been asked to cut wood and leave the coal. operating 5 slinga, 14 substitute handkerchiefs, 1, sweater, 2 pairs socks; 4 pairs wrist- lets. < Castorland—Three pairs socks, 4 sweaters. 2 scarfs, 2 napkins, 7 pair* bed socks. 3 pairs pajamas, 3 surgical j shirts, 8 pairs bed socks, 6 abdominal binders. 12 T bandages, 12 handker- . chief8, 5 shoulder wraps. 5 pair* oper- i ating leggina h ' Houseville—Six T bandages, 6 slings, I 2 pairs pajamas, 1 pair wristlets, 2 mufflers, 3 surgical shirts. 2 handker- chiefs. 8 napkins. 12 cup covers. .Mrs. C.
