SUP PREME TEST IF WAR NOW DEVELOPING
 IN FRANCE
Already Half Score of Ger many's Finest Divisions Have Been Smashed By Canadians This Month.

FROM A STAFF CORRESPOND ENT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS:
 BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, via London. April 16.- With the hot flames of war raging along the entire western front, British and French alike, it can be stated that each detail of the offensive plans has been worked out at prolonged confer ences between General Nivelle and Field Marshal Haig and the war coun- cils of France and England.
 The part to be played by each bel ligerent has been definitely agreed upon and a schedule has been arrang- ed as for one great cohesive force. Various tasks have been precisely al- lotted along the wide reaching battle lines. and the results thus far attain ed justify the conclusion that the su- preme military test of the war is near at hand
 Germans Decimated
 Already a half score of Germany's best divisions have been smashed to pieces. The Bavarian divisions were sacrificed first, but the Prussian Guard divisions. thrown in to stem the Brit ish food tide have been suffering such casualties in the last few days that they will have to be relieved.
 The Canadians accounted for a large contingent of grenadiers in the fighting about the pimple. while yes terday's affair at Legincourt took it's heaviest toll both in dead and prison CTS from five German regiments. It will ever be one of the most striking pictures of the war, the route of the Germans at LegincOurt after what they believed to have been a success ful stronghold. Running for their own trenches, which were part of the fam ous Hindenburg line. they were trap ped by the barbed wire entanglements which had been built with such great strength and thickness in front of them. The boast of the Hindenburg line has been its belts of protective wire.
 Lens virtually was invested today.

Various Methods Are Suggest ed, In Opposition To Presi- dents Plan To Adopt Army Staff Measures.
HOUSE COMMITTEE
 TO ACT TODAY
Confidence Seems Still To Pre- vail That Both Houses Will Accept Staff Bill, But By Small Majorities.
(Bv Review Leased Wire. ]

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Tenta. tive votes in the house military com mittee today disclosed majority in favor of making some provision for volunteers in the war army plans, which. as drawn by the general stafI and approved by President Wilson. are based entirely upon the selective draft system. Two members of the commit tee were absent. and the question of preparing a substitute for the admin istration bill will be passed upon fin ally tomorrow.
 Many Plans Offered
 Various methods of raising and organizing the great fighting force for which the President asks have been advanced hy nssmbers oppos- ing immediaate application of the draft, ranging from proposal to eliminate the draft provision en- tirely to Chairman Dents scheme to authorize a call for 500,0O0 vol
 unteers and authorize the Presi- dent to resort 10 the draft if the volunteers don't come forward in reasonable time.
 Wilson For Staff Bill
 The administration is standing very squarely upon the general staff's unan- imous opinion that the volunteer sys- tenn can have no place. beyond the en- listments in the regulars and the na- tional guard, in the raising and train ing of the army needed. Apparently confidence still prevails that event ually both houses will accept the staff bill
 Senators Hear crowder
 The senate military committee spent today hearing an explanation of the staff measure from Secretary Baker and Adjutant General Crowder. Chair man Chamberlain said tonight he hoped to conclude work in committee on the bill tomorrow and despite op- position shown to the draft feature he was hopeful it would be approved and reported to the senate in time to fol- low on the floor the s7.OOO 900. 900 rev enue bill which probably will be pass ed tomorrow night.
 Senators Divided
 There were no votes taken in the senate committee during the day but some members thought the official eX- plantations given and the arguments advanced in support of the draft pro- vision had made a deep impression

German Line Falls

In the fighting between SoissOns and Rheims and over a distance of s, 1-2 miles from S9issons to Craonne the entire German first line trenches fell into the hands of General Nivelle's force while east of CraOnne a German second line position south of Juvin- court and an important Outskirt of Bermircourt along the Aisne canal to Loivse and COurcy also were captured. Violent counter attacks by the Ger mans on several sectors were reDulsed with heavy casualties to the at tackers.
 The artillery for several days has been violently smelling the entire re- zion and Monday, while British activ- ity along the front from Lens 10 St. Quentin had almost ceased. owing to heavy rainfall the French launched their infantry in an endeavor to break through or press back the Germans from this point of great strategiv value.

HE WAS WAITING PATIENTLY
to Be on Hand When Erring Wife
Was Caught by Husband.

A problem play was being produced
in Chicago. One evening it was dis
covered that a certain man, evidently
from the rural district, had attended
the play six nights in succession and
always sat well down in front. Each
night he leaned forward eagerly in his
seat and drank in the words of the
drama.
These facts were communicated to
the theater press agent, who scented
good story. Approaching the inter-
ested spectator between the acts, he
apologized for his intrusion and said:
would you mind telling me just why
you are so interested in this play2
Do you know some member of the
cast?"
Nope" said the man from the out
lands. "That amt it. But I'll tell
you about it. You know the scene in
the private room of the restaurant,
where the dark man and the other
mans wife get up and leave by the
left-hand door just a moment before
the woman's husband enters by the
right-hand door?"
YES" said the press agent expect
antly.
"Well," said the interested specta-
tor, "some night the husbands going
to come in before they leave"

BY EDWARD w. PICKARD.

After twenty days of the most ire
mendous artillery fire of the war, the
Anglo-French armies in Flanders be-
gan on Tuesday a great drive that
aroused the highest hopes for definite
results. Great masses of troops dashed
forward along a front of twenty miles,
overran the enemy's first three lines OF
defense between Warneton and Dix
nude and captured eleven towns and
more than 5000 prisoners. They
crossed the User at many places, the
engineering corps performing prodigies
in the way of bridge-building under
fire. Tanks and airplanes played i'm
portant parts in the terrific conflict.
The Germans resisted stoutly and on
Wednesday, when the allies advance
was checked by torrential rains, the
Teutons by fierce counter-attacks won
back q. little Of the lost ground. Next
day the British again drove the Ger
mans back, and then the artillery re-
sumed the task of blowing Prince Ru-
precht's men out of the supporting de-
lenses to which they had retired.
Generals Haig and Petain exchanged
kilograms of congratulation on the
success in Flanders, and the kaiser,
not to be outdone, congratulated Ru-
precht on his great success" and at
once called a conference in Brussels of
his commanding officers on the west
front and other officials. The German
losses are reported to have been ire
mendous and those of the allies COM
paratively light. Several American
surgical teams worked on the fighting
line side by side with their British al
lies.
The exact objective of this drive was
not officially announced, but the peo-
pie of the allied nations hoped and the
Germans assumed that the Anglo
French armies intend to push along the
Belgian coast and force the Germans
to abandon their submarine bases.
Such a movement would also turn the
right end of the German line and
might well compel general retire
ment toward the Rhine. If the allies
could reach the Dutch border it is be-
lieved Holland might be persuaded to
throw In her lot with them, a decision
which Germany evidently has feared
for some time.

PLANT CORN

Washington, D. C., May 18.-The most effective way to remedy the probable shortage in the wheat crop is to plant corn, says the United States Department of Agriculture.
 Ordinarily the quantity of corn produced in the United States is from three to four times the quantity of wheat, but only very small portion of the crop-from 5 to 10 per cent has been used for human food. This amount may be estimated in normal times at about 2OO,O0O,OOO bushels a year. Not over 5 per cent has been exported in peace times. A relatively slight increase in the corn acreage, therefore, will place many millions of bushels more of human food at the disposal of the world without inter- fering in any way with the feed need ed for the support of live stock.
 In the past, with an abundance of grain of other kinds, corn has not been in great demand for human con- sumption. But with other grains no longer abundant, circumstances will compel more general recognition of the value of corn as human food The department is urging strongly the wider use of corn in the diet. It is the best substitute for wheat that we

TAKE MEASURES AGAINST CORN PESTS

Washington, D. C., May lS.-Ani- l mai and insect pests of corn-prairie- dogs, ground squirrels, gophers, backbirds, crows, cut-worms, ear- worms. wireworms, chinch bugs, erssshoppers-soon will open their spring campaigns of destruction. Many of these pests can be effective ly combated, according to specialists in the U. S. Department of Agricul- lure, who describe measures that may be employed.
 For cutworms, Jumps of poisoned bait, made by mixing about 50 pounds of bran or corn meal with two pounds of Paris green, six finely chopped oranges or lemons, and enough cheap noasses to make a stiff dough, should be scattered along the corn nws at planting time or as soon as injury from cutworms is noticed. h. formation as to these poison baits will be furnished on application to the Bureau of Entomology.
 Treating the seed with coal tar will usually repel attacks of birds and, in some cases, those of burrowing rod ents. A teaspoonful of tar is enough TOT peck of corn. Mix the tar with quart of boiling water. After the mixture has cooled somewhat, but is still hot, stir in the corn until every gram is coated, and then spread it out to dry before planting. Corn may be immersed several minutes in m0derately hot water without affect ng examination. The tar treatment a0es not repel mice or ground souir- rek,
