Bloodless Victory Won by
the French in Retirement
of the Enemy From the
Chemin Des Danes Line.
Pressure Of Artillery Fire
and Infantry Attacks Too
Strong for Enemy and
Valuable Ground Given
Up in Strategic Retreat"

Paris, Nov. 3.-France won a great
and bloodless victory today in a sweep
ing advance following a German re-
tirement from all Of the Chemin Des
Danes line between the Disc and Aisne
canal on the west and Corbeny on the
east. Over this section today's Of
ficial report recorded French ad-
vance to the Ailette river.
The advancing French found the
Germans In their strategic retreat"
had blown up all bridges across this
waterway.
First announcement of the German
withdrawal in the Aisne sector was
made in last nights official statement,
which was delayed far beyond the usu-
al hour of issuance. This night state
ment mentioned a French advance
over front of 20 kilometers to q
depth Of one kilometer and occupa-
ton of Courtroom. Cerny ALLIES and
Chevreux.
FURTHER STEP FORWARD.
Todayis war office report. fixing
the advanced French line at the Ailette,
indicated further step forward.
Occupation Of Courtecon, Cerny,
Allies and Chevreux in an advance
over a frontage of 13 miles was an
nounced by thew office as the re-
suit Of the German retreat.
Owing to pressure by the French
infantry and crushing effect of the
French artillery, the Germans have
evacuated the Chemin Des Danes"
the statement said.
1.-The French have advanced over a
front Of 20 kilometers and to a depth
of one kilometer (two-thirds of a
mile.)"
Chevreux, Courtroom, Cerny and
ALLIES, now occupied by the French, are
all beyond the Chemin Des Danes road
and the ridge, on the way to Laon.
The cities form chain eight miles
due south Of Laon and from Courtecon
on the west. to Chevreux on the east,
the total front they represent being
| about nine miles.
Some of the most intense fighting
OF the war has centered about Cerny
and ALLIES. The French took the line
of the Chemin Des Danes here after
repeated assaults and hardly a week
passed from that time until General
Petain's victorious assault far to the
west ten days ago, that the Germans
did not strive by powerful attacks to

The four cities now held by the

the ridge along the top of which runs
the Chemin Des Danes. From the arc
which they represent out Of Laon, the

the rather sharp and broken country

fore, greatly favors the French ad-
vance toward Laon.

FAIR HOG PRICES
WILL BE ASSURED
THE PRODUCERS
Chief Of Meat Division Of the
Food Administration Out
lines Attitude on Market
ing Problem.

AAA 4 AVNAS4AAs
Chicago, Nov 3--Hog prices $50 far
as we can affect them, will not go be-
low minimum of $3.50 hundred
pounds for the average Of the packers
droves on the Chicago market, until
further notice." Joseph p. Cotton, chief
of the United States food administra-
ton, meat division, declared in state
ment this afternoon.
The statement followed a conference
Of packers and government officials
which has been under way here for
several days.
The average price paid for hogs at
the Union stockyards today was $3.50
to $17.25, with top of $17.55 and low
price of $15.75.
ATTITUDE OUTLINED.
Cotton outlined the attitude of the
food administration toward hogs as:
To see that the producer at all
times can count on fair price for
his hogs, so that it will be profit
able for him; to see that the
farmer increases the number of
hogs bred: to limit the profit of
to eliminate speculation.
1--WE shall establish rigid control Of
the packer" declared Cotton. Fair
prices to the farmer for his hogs, we
believe, will be brought about by the full
control which the food administration
has over the buying of the allies, our
army and navy. the Red Cross, the
Belgian relief work and neutrals, which
together constitute considerable fac
tor in the market.
TO STOP SUDDEN BREAK.
break In prices paid for hogs at the
central markets. These prices must
become stable. so the farmer knows
where he stands and will feel justified
in increasing hogs for next winter.
The prices. so far as we can affect
them, will not go below a minimum OF
about $3.50 a hundred pounds for, the
average of the packers droves on the
Chicago market, until further notice.
1--WE have had, and shall have, the
advice of board composed of prac-
tical hog growers and experts. That
board advises that the best yard stick
to measure the cost of producing the
hog is the cost of corn. That board
further advises that the ratio Of corn
prices to hog prices. on the average
over a number of years, has been
about 10 to /. To bring the stock of
hogs back to normal that board ad-
vises that under present conditions the
ratio should be about 13 to l.
TO STABILIZE PRICE.
Therefore, we will try to stabilize
the price so the farmer can count on
getting for each 100 pounds of hog
ready for market, 13 times the average
cost of bushel Of the corn fed into
the hogs
LET there be no Misunderstanding
of this statement. 1t Is not a guaran-
tee backed by money. 1t Is not a
promise by the packers. 1t is state
ment of the intention and policy of
the food administration"
