AMERICANS IN ACTION.

CAPTURE OF TRENCHES. NEW YORK, March 17. The newspapers arc enthusiastic about the occupation of trenches at Badouvillers, which is the first enemy territory captured by the Americans. BRITAIN’S FOOD PROBLEM. RATIONING SIX MILLIONS. LONDON, March 17. It is estimated that six million people are bong supplied with extra rations, which consist of bacon, poultry, and rabbits. They will not be granted to professional or commercial men, shop-keepers, messengers, domestic servants, or women doing ordinary factory work, but they will be granted to all men engaged in bodily labour and to women on the land. The War Office requests the public not to send gifts of food to the men at the front, whose ration is ample.
