SWEPT BACK ON soMME.

London.-On both banks of the
Somme the fierce battle continues
Berlin reports that $4,000 Allied
troops are attacking the Picardy line.
18th Of the SOmme alone 100000
E>ench soldiers are massed. Taken
in conjunction with Berlin's official
statement that the artillery fire in
the last few days exceeded in expendi
ture anything known before. some OBJ
servers here see hint that the Ger
mans plan withdrawal from the ROye
sector
All reports agree that the Allied
gains are costing much less than was
expected. The artillery is smotherins
the enemy's defenses so thoroughly
that the infantry casualties are rela.
lively low. Foch's progress has been
accomplished at surprisingly low
expense, due largely to the efficiency
OF the new French guns.
The strategy OF the Allied command
also has contributed to this result.
The French and British have been able
to assail the German line mainly from
the flank, thus avoiding he costly
frontal assault that laid so heavy a
toll on the Germans at Verdun.
From the large number of prisoners
and guns taken in the offensive thus
far the Allied drive must be consid,
cred exceedingly successful. The
vagueness of the German commu-
niques is the best proof that the Ger
mans are worried greatly about the
Western front, where the tide is flow
ing constantly against them

prevent further encroachments by the

these bloody attempts at striking back,

TOunQ Negotiations.
New London, Conn.-Constitutio
and reform was the theme Of DR.. Luis
Cabrera's opening address TO the joint
Mexican conference. After the Ameri-
can and Mexican Commissioners had
exchanged their credentials it was
found that First Chief Carranza had
given his delegates the broadcast pow
ers to discuss all matters submitted TO
them by the American Commission
ers, on the understanding that the
decisions and rulings" of the con
ference would be subject to his sp-
prevail
Gen. Carran2a urged the establish
ment of the frankest cordially in re
Iations between both countries on the
basis Of constitution and reform.
The conference started with an svi-
tent desire to get together. in marked
contrast to the formal diplomatic re.
serve Of the proceedings at Niagara
Falls two years ago. Senior Cabrera,
who presided. told of conditions IN
Mexico and the progress made by the
Carranza Government, laying parttcu-
lar stress upon the extent to which
peace is being re-established through
out Mexico, the resumption of raii

RUMANIAn DRIVE
FORCES FOE BACK
Austrians Compelled to With
a draw from Positions Fifty
Miles North of Kr0nstadt
NDULGARS TAKE SEA PORTS

London.-The rapidity with which
the Rumanians are advancing in their
invasion of Pennsylvania is indicated
by an announcement from Austrian
Army Headquarters at Vienna that
Austrian positions six miles west of
Csik Szereda have been abandoned
under pressure. These positions at
Hargitta are fifty miles north of Kron.
stadt and about twenty-five miles west
of the Rumanian border The an
nouncement says:
West of Csik Szereda our troops
have been withdrawn before superior
enemy attacks against Hargitta.
An undated official Bulgarian report
received here says that the Bulgarian
and German forces which are invad-
ing Eastern Rumania have captured
the fortress of Dobric (Bazardjik) and
the seaports of Baltjik, Kavarna, and
Kali Akra
The capture Of Orsova gives the Ru.
manians grip on the Austrian second
line of defense behind the mountains
dixiding Pennsylvania from Hungary.
To the Teutons Its loss means the
hampering Of traffic along the Danube
which served as q supply line for Tur-
key.
On the Somme front in France the
violent bombardment continues along
almost the entire line. The only infan-
try engagements have taken place
south of the river. The French report
a further advance for their troops in
the village of Vedandovillers. In the
Berny-en-Senterre and Chaulnes sec
tor, where the fighting was particu.
larly vicious both the Germans and
the French record successes for their
armies in the repuse of attacks.
The capture of Turtukai is by far
the most significant success scored
thus far by the Bulgarians and their
Teutonic allies in the Rumanian cam.
paign. Once the Danube is crossed
at this point, a railroad leading direct.

Seeking Basis For Advance
in Price of Bread
LOOKS FOR WHEAT EMBARGO
Lack of Economic Justification II
Found and Action of Bakers in
Concert Will start Criminal
Prosecutions Under Trust Act.

Washington.-The Administration is
seriously concerned over the bread
situation and viewed with alarm the
threat of bakers to increase the price
OF the loaf. Government investiga
tons are in progress, and it is be.
lieved here that criminal prosecutions
will result if the price OF bread actu.
ally is increased and two facts can
be established These are: That
there is no economic justification for
the increase, and that the bakers have
acted in association.
An official said there must be an
investigation and the facts of it de-
tailed to the public so the public by
the weight Of its expressed opinion
may frown down any attempt TO in.
crease unjustly the price of bread,
The Federal Trade Commission,
through Chairman Edward N. Hurry,
has been making an investigation Of
the economic phases of the question.
He is now in Chicago authorized by
the commission to pursue this inquiry
as far as he deems necessary.
1t is understood also that the mat
ter has been brought to the attention
OF the Department of Justice and that
its agents have been at work on it
for some time. What facts have been
disclosed Department of Justice Off.
Gals will not admit.
It was stated that if there were an
agreement among bakers to increase
the price of bread it would be equiva-
lent to a conspiracy and that they
could be prosecuted under the Com
mon Law or Antitrust Act.
Two natural causes for a possible
increase in the price of bread are seen
by some authorities here. II was said
the great demand for wheat has been
for armies, thus lessenging the sup
ply OF this country. The other cause
is the reduction OF this years wheat
crop which is said to be approximate.
ly 20 per cent less than last years
crop.
Chicago.-Federal investigation OF
the National Association of Master
Bakers plan to make the price Of
small loaves of bread six cents in.
stead OF five was started here
Charles f. Clyne, United States Dis
trict Attorney said the plan for one
baker in a community to advance the
price and then have the others fol
low would constitute a violation Of
the antitrust laws.
The plan to advance the price was
announced at a meeting Of the execu-
tive committee of the Bakers Asso-
citation here. This step was neces.
sary it was declared, because of the
sharp increase in the price OF ma.
terials.
An embargo on the expectation Of
wheat from the United States may
be declared in the near future, &C
cording TO experts. This would mean
a lowering Of prices in North America
as well as elsewhere
The quality OF the wheat now BE-
ing harvested is poor.
