4 YANKEE FLYERS BRING DOWN 32 HUNAIRPLANCES But Seven U. S. Machines Lost Since Army Began Real U Work in April By Associated Press With the American Army in 1 Vance, June 4. —Compilations which The Associated Press obtained to-day show that the American aviators flying over the Toul sector have made an enviable record. ■ American pursuit units since April 14, when they started operations, have shot down at least thirty-two enemy airplanes. Seventeen of this number were seen and officially con firmed by the French. During the (•ame period and counting the pilot i who fell in flames to-day, only seven ] of our chaser fliers have been lost. Four Americans Killed Of these four were killed, one by accident, two are prisoners in the hands of the eGrmans and the fate of to-day's aviator is not known for certain. Thes victories gained by the Amer icans are all the more important when it is considered that most of the enemy machines shot down have been biplanes, so that the loss in these cases has been doubly great lor the Germans. All the American machines lost were monoplanes. Late this evening, for the first time in nearly a month, a German I plane was so bpld as to venture more • than a few kilometers over the line' and it did not stay long after dis- I i-overy, but beat a hasty retreat i homeward. The machine was so high that the men within it were unable to see much and at that alti tude must have had on respirators. Germans Ije&rn Lesson The Germans have learned the les son that it is dangerous to try to i operate over the American positions, j Within the last few days the Ameri can units, in addition to patrolling the line, answering alarms and i hasing off prowling German air- ; planes, have taken the difficult task ! of protecting British bombing squad- j i ons. This serves a dual purpose j of protecting the British and giving I combat to the German pursuit ma- j chines which somestimes pursue the I British. Several fights which have ended ' disastrously for the enemy have re- I suited. The British are strong in ' their praise of the skill and the! daring of the young j Flour Is Necessary if America Is to Win War Recent press dispatches widely circulated through the country have given the wholly wrong impression ! that there is no longer need for vig- j orous conservation of wheat and j flour. The Food Administration de clares that every aspect of the wheat situation, both present and prospec- i the. intensifies the need for the greatest possible limitation in the American consumption of wheat ant! i wheat products. If the present re st fictions should be in the slightest V i'egree relaxed, it would result in se rous want for the people of Europe before the n'ew crop can reach the i market. The Food Administration's esti- j mate of the position on the first of June indicates a total available sup ply until the new harvest, including the grain which will be available | from the farms In the country and | terminal elevators and mill elevators | of about 56,000,000 bushels. Of this j ro 000,000 bushels must be exported ! before new wheat Is available for I i xport. if we are to maintain the j absolutely necessarv shipments to' our Army and the Allies. That leaves i uliout 26,000.000 bushels for domes- I tic, consumption for the next two months. Normal American consumption is j something over 40.000,000 bushels a month, so that the most liberal con sumption at home would be only one-third of normal. In addition to the wheat on the farms and in elevators, there is al ways an indeterminate further amount in transit and in dealers ; bands, and this can never be reck oned in with the flour available for use for export and use at home. As n matter of fact, this stock is not actually available, since these sup- ! Plies must remain constantly in flow; ihey remain a permanent stock, the removal o? which would later cause a period of acute shortage in dis tribution before new wheat would be available. '''here is further an Inclination to in-<ude new prospects with present renditions, which has led to con fusion. The harvest will not be gen erally available in flour until the ni -Idle of August or early Septem ber. although In the extreme south it will he somewhat earlier. \* a meeting of the Federal Food Administrations, in Washington, yes terda*. representing forty-eight states, it was the unanimous view that, e>tn if the harvest does prove abundant, it will be the first duty of the American people to place every grain they can save into storage as against possible bad years ahead. In consequences, there should he no an ticipation of unlimited wheat bread until the war is over. Some of the most Inconvenient re strictions can. no doubt, be modi fied with the arrival of a large har vest but, if we are honest with our selves we will maintain restrictions requiring the use of some substi tutes, both domestic and commercial: we will continue the requirement of 'lisfh milling extraction and the elim ination of the non-essential use of and waste in flour and bread. It is worth remembering that the famine in Egypt eight thousand years ago was saved by a little gov ernmental foresight, and it does not require any illuminating dream to anticipate that, so long as the war lasts,, with its increasing drafts for soldiers and munition workers, the world will steadily produce less food. If we are wise, a great harvest will mean the willing building up of yreat national reserves. PENRHOOK WATER I.OW J. W. McGarvey, fire chief at Pen brook. has issued a warning to resi dents of the town to be careful to avoid fires, as the water supply is lew at the present time. Reports say that the water in the reservoir of the Ilummelstown Water Company has been low for several weeks and on a number of occasions has been entire ly shut ofT. A failure of the supply would cause the same conditions to prevail at Paxtang. Progress, and a number of other communities in the vicinity.
