PLATEAU OF BRIMONT
OCCUPIED BY GERMANS
General Haig Preparing for An
other Tremendous Blow
Against Teuton Lines
(1y Associated Press.)

Three great obstacles stand in the
path Of General Nivelle. The first is
the formidable and sinister Brimont
plateau, the height from which the
German guns have poured their shells
on the Rheims cathedral The French
are at the foot Of this plateau, and
by a double fanking movement are
endeavOring to cut it off from the
main German line.
Great Barrier.
The second great barrier is the al.
most similarly situated Fort de NAL
maison which stands between Gen.
eral Nivelles troops and Laon on
the road from Laffeux. The third OBJ
stacle is the Upper Coucy forest, a
densely wooded plateau which held
up the French in their initial drive
from SOissons.
Guns Thunder.
While the French guns thunder
against these three German strong
holds, there is comparative inactivity
on the British front. That General
Haig is preparing for another tremen-
dous blow is taken for granted, and
London believes this stroke will not
be long withheld.
Capture Gonnelieu.
South of the main area OF the Arras
battle front the British last night de-
livered a stroke in the direction of
Cambria. Pushing ahead from Gou.
seacourt they captured the village Of
Gonnelieu, more than mile nearer
the German line between Cambrai
and St. Quentin. The place was talk

To Call on Public Soon.
In making it's first call for finances,

al reserve system. Anticipating the
formal request, the federal reserve

banks to enlist the cooperation of
all banks throughout the country,
state and national, as. we'll as trust

Gates will be issued has not yet been
determined. The first offer, Secre-
fary, AeAdoe - aflaols ced, probably
would be $4,000. loot. 900. Other offers

ably will follow as the funds are

AdOo again announced, in paying for
the bonds when issued. Authority
for receiving subscriptions to the GER
tificates has not been given as yet.
Moneys received for the certificates
will be promptly returned to the mar
ket under the secretary's program, SO
that there may be no arrangement Of
the money market. The. proceeds will
be paid out by the government in
business transactions, the money will
again be deposited in the banks, and
the banks will be in position of hav-
ing both the money and the certifi-
Gates with which to meet Withdrawals

Food Supply First Plan Of
# Secretary Houston
OF
$25,00O, ,0GG Is ASKED

Washington, April 2!.-The govern
ment's program for food control dur
ing the war was put before congress
today by Secretary Houston in q COM
municatiOn to the senate asking pow
er for the department Of agriculture
to take direct supervision Of the food
production and distribution in the
United States and requesting $1o,
100000 appropriation Tor putting the
plan in operation.
Authority was asked for the coun-
Gil Of national defense, in an emerg-
ency, to buy and sell foodstuffs and
to fix maximum or minimum prices.
aBE. Control All Outputs.
AS outlined in the senate, the gov
ernment's plan is first to make COM
plete survey of the c0untry's food
supply to determins its ownership
and distribution, then if necessary to
license and control the operations OF
all concerns engaged in the manufac-
ture of foods or feeds, agricultural
implements and all materials required
for farm purposes. Authority is
sought for the agricultural depart
ment to take over and operate the
concerns if it appears a. any time
that that course is demanded by the
public interest.
Giving the government power to
deal directly in foodstuffs probably
would make its application unneces-
sary, Secretary Houston declared, as
it's very existence would tend to keep
conditions normal. He proposed that
the government should have full dis
cretion, saying it might be wise if an
emergency arose, to fix prices on a
single commodity. Market grades
and classes for farm products, Secre-
tary Houston said. is one of the chief
needs of the country to insure proper
conditions in producing and market
ing farm products. tf ..- ..t
Must Move Farm Machinery.
Authority was also asked for the de-
partment to require of transportation
companies preference for the move
ment of farm machinery, seeds, ferti-
lizers and materials that enter into
the processes Of food production.
Enlargement of the market news
service of the department was recon-
mended as means of insuring equit-
able distribution, to prevent undue
food shortage in any consuming CEN
ter and to provide against waste due
to temporary over-supplies Of food in
some communities.
In its plan for an investigation OF
the present food supply, the agricul-
tural department has arranged for the
help of the federal trade commission
which with the department was di-
rected by President Wilson early in
the year to make an inquiry to ascer-
tain the amount of food stocks and to
determine If the antitrust laws have
been violated in food production, stor-
age. and distribution. That inquiry
has been halted for lack OF an appro-
priation. The present congress, how.
ever, has voted money for conducting

Interest in the great French often.
sive on the Aisne gave way today to
startling news from the interior Of
Germany. Yelled though the situa.
ton is in the mist OF rigid censor
ship and obscured by the shackled
conditions of the German press,
enough has leaked through to indi-
cate that the German empire ia fac-

Bloody Riot.
The latest information received is
that 10000 striking workers have en-
gagged in bloody riot in the great
Prussian fortress town of Magdeburg
and were only prevented from hurn-
ing the city hall after sharp clash
with the military. p"
This story comes from the Dutch
frontier with sufficient detail to make
its claim to authenticity impressive.
On its heels arrives the account OF
demands made by leaders Of the Ber-
lin strike, demands of such rev0lu-
tionary character That compliance
with them would mean prompt end
ing Of the militarists' regime in the
Empire. ~

Strikes at Essen.
The exact status OF the strike move.
ment in Germany is unknown. but 1t
portion OF the munitions workers
have been affected. There are re-
ports OF new strikes at Essen, where
the Krupp works are located. and
Magdeburg is the site Of an import
ant branch of the establishment. An
indication of the seriousness OF tho
situation is afforded by the fact that
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg has
cons idered it necessary to make z
personal appeal to the workers in
which he denounced strikes as mex
cusable crimes against the fighting
forces.
Heavy Toll of Prisoners.
In the meantime, Gen. tNlvelle may
take his unrelent;ng pressure against
the enemy, against the most vital
point Of his defenses-the sharp anglo
at which the German line running
south from Lens turns east toward
Rheims. This angle has already been
pressed in to an appreciable extent
and Is in imminent danger Of being
entirely shattered. The heavy toll ot
prisoners taken by the Frencl mounts
day 'by day, giving strong support OF
the report made in Paris and London
of the deterioration Of the German
morale.

THREATENED

(Speeial to 1ribune.)

Fargo, N d., April 21.-The threat
ened reduction in wheat acreage OF
North Dakota of about one-half mill
ion to three.quarters of million
acres has been averted by the rapid.
fire campaign for food production
launched just q week ago in Fargo
and which hesHbeen spromoted so Wig
orously through other agencies during
the past ten days or.two weeks. That,
at least, is the firm belief of Fargo
crop expert who is closely in touch
with the situation throughout the
state.
4 I'VE faced, at the beginning Of the
seeding season. tne possibility of a
reduction in the wheat acreage of
from five to ten per cent because of
the high price of Seed" said this ex-
pert.
However, through the active work
that has been done, | Ieel confident
that the state will have just as great
an acreage of wheat as it had in 1916.
In fact, we may possibly exceed that
record"
