GERMANS DEAL FRENCH A BLOW
Allies Have Also Made Gains on Few
 Places Along Front.

While the British were further ad- vancing their front north of the Ancro river or consolidating their newly won positions, the French and Germans have been engaged in violent combats both north and south of the Somme. In both regions the Germans made gains-7in the north corner and welt ern outskirts of the St. Pierre Vast wood, north of the river, and in the eastern part of the village of Pres soire, south of the stream.

under cultivation than is under cul- tivation now. We have got to increase the production at every point where it is susceptible of being increased.
 "One Of the things that has most interested me about what has been done recently by legislation for the benefit of the farmer is the question why it was not done long before. It is astonishing that the assets, the valuable available assets, the visible assets of the farm should not have been available as a basis of credit in the banks on the same terms as the assets of commercial undertaking and manufacturing industry. Cattle are just as visible and tangible as goods in warehouses and goods on trains.
 we have liberated the credits of the banks and we have mobilized through the Department of Agricu1- ture the scientific intelligence of the world. With that combination, every nation in the world ought to come to us to learn how to raise big crops. We ought to raise such big crops that cir cumstances like the present can never recur, when men can make as if the supply was so short that the middle man could charge for it what he pleased.

Farm Problem Easy.

"I wish that all problems of gov ernment were displayed in as clear lines of duty as this problem of gov ernment with regard to how the farm CT ought to be treated is displayed. wish, for example, that foreign affairs were as simple as agriculture. The great satisfaction about what you have to discuss is that when once your duty is determined, we have got great force of intelligence to go forward in the line of duty.
 "The thing that makes free corn- try vital is the large number of peo- pic who get together to do important tnings without asking the leave of the government to do them. The striking thing about a great country like the United States is that If the govern ment neglected everything the people would do it; that you do not beckon to the people or the United States, they command you to go on and things that are neglected they have got plenty of brains to get together and do for themselves.

 { Urging that farmers increase their output, the president said:
 No Mention of Election.
 The president did not mention recent petitions to him to declare an embar- go on exportation of focdstutfs from the United States to th: rest of the world and he did no refer to the elec- tions. His address was interrupted ire quently by applause from the farmers attending the fiftieth anniversary cele- bration of the founding of the Grange
 Ut seems to me-" said the presi- dent, that some of the most interest ing problems of our life and of the life of the world lie before us, problems in connection with which the farmers of the United States will play part such as they have never played before.
 Ut goes without saying that the physicial life of the nation has always depended upon the farm. It goes with out saying also that to a large extent the physical life of the world has drawn it's sustenance from the great areas of farm land in the United Stat es. We have sent food to all parts of the world and the American farmer has contributed to the life of all the countries of the world. But you know that as our own population has in creased the proportion in which we could help foreign countries as con- trasted with our own has decreased and there are problems that are con- parable with the problems of states manship lying ahead of the farmers of the United States.
