here might necessitate the falling back by the Germans along a greater part of the front from Lens to Sois- sons
 To the east in Champagne violent artillery activity continues, probably being the forerunner of an attempt by the French at a drive against the Germans in this no less important region.
 Up to the time that rainstorm be-. gan Monday afternoon the British had captured from the Germans the village of Villeret southeast of Hargi- court and eight miles from St Quen- tin, and also had made additional progress northwest of Lens. During the week the British offensive has been going on Field Marshal Sir Dodslas 1Iaigs forces have made prisoners of 140O0 Germans and tured 19t guns and large quantities of war stores.
 From the fact that the French troops in Alsace and Lorraine have renewed their fighting against the Germans, preceding it with heavy artillery preparation and delivering infantry attacks that netted them good gains of terrain and resulted in heavy casualties to the Germans. it would appear that all along the French front the moment is approach ine for an intensive battle from Bel eium 10 the Swiss border

Farmers Urged to
 Plant Spring Wheat
Best Opportunities Will Be FounR in the Regions Where Spring
 Wheat is Produced.

Washington. April 16.-Farmers of the spring wheat belt particularly those of North Dakota, Minnesota. South Dakota. Washington, Montana and Idaho. were called upon by Secre. tary Houston today to plant more wheat immediately, 10 make mp the serious shortage threatened by the unpromising condition of the winter wheat crop
 Action at once is imperative. said a statement issued by the secretary. and the best opportunities will be found in the regions in which spring wheat already is produced exten. sively
 Attempts to increase the acreage of spring wheat outside the present spring wheat belt, on the other hand, might prove less successful because of lack of familiarity by farmers with the crop" continued the state ment, and especially because Of the difficulty of fobtaining the use of harvesting machinery and the added likelihood of the crop suffering for 2 lack of labor at harvest time. A cor. centration of large corn produetidl will make possible the more efficiet3 utilization of labor whether the labor CTS assemble individually or under la directing agency.

CANADIAN COVE RNMENT HAS
 PLACED WHEAT ON FREE LIST

Ottawa. Ont, April 1s.-The gov. ernment has placed wheat. wheat flour and semolina on the free list. thus opening United States markets to Canada and Canadian markets to the United States in these products.
 Under the reciprocal clauses of the American tariff the United States Will admit free wheat and wheat prod ucts of any country which admits American wheat without duty. The Canadian tariff has heretofore pre. vented this privilege being availed of.
 The action taken by the Canadian government today removes the duty and automatically opens the markets Of each country to the other.
 The order is due to difficulty of ex- port abroad owing to shortags of ocean tonnage. and the fact that inc British market has been virtuaIlv closed for Canadian wheat of lower esade
 t'he duties removed are 10 oenta . bushel on wheat and 45 cents n har. fel on flour.

Washington, April 16--All persons in the United States, citizens and aliens. are warned in a proclamation issued today by President Wilson that reasonable acts or attempts to shield those committing such acts will
 he vigorously prosecuted by the gov ernment.
 The proclamation defines treason, citing statutes. provisions of the con stitution and decisions of the courts, and declares that the acts described will be regarded as reasonable whether committed within the borders of the United States or elsewhere.
 Far-reaching importance attaches 10 the direction of the warning to aliens and warning that resident aliens, a. well as citizens, owe allegi- ance to the United States. land, therefore, are equally subject to the laws against treason and like crimes.
 At war the United States is in very different position from a neu- tral. Bomb plotters now may he gripped with an iron hand. Not only are conspirators themselves subject 10 heavy penalties, but any one, even a German resident who has knowl- edge of reasonable acts and fails to make known the facts 10 the authori- ties may be sent 10 prison for seven years and fined $1,000 for misprision of treason.
 The presidents proclamation fcl lows:
 Whereas as persons in the United States, citizens as well as aliens, should be informed of the penalties which they will incur for any failure 10 bear true allegiance to the United States, now. therefore, l, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States. hereby issue this proclama ton to call especia, attention to the following provisions of the constitu- ton and the laws of the United States
 "Section of Article III of the con stitutlon provides in part: Treason against the United States shall con sist only in levying war against them or in adhering to their enemies, siv ing them aid and comfort
 "The criminal code of the United States provides:
 "'Section 1.--Whoever owing ale glance to the United States levies war against them or adheres to their enemies. giving them aid and com. fort within the United States or else where, is guilty of treason.
 "'Section 2--Whoever is convicted of treason shall suffer death: or. at the discretion of the court. shall he imprisoned not less than five years and fined not less than $10,000, to be levied on and collected out of any or all of his property real or personal, of which he was the owner at the time of committing such treason, any sale or conveyance to the contrary notwithstanding, and every person so convicted of treason shall moreover, be incapable of holding any office un- der the United States.

 British Headquarters in France, Apri. l6. Via London.-W ith the hot flames of war raging along the entire
 western front, British and French alike. it can be stated that each ce- tall of the offensive plans has been worked out at prolonged conferences between General Niyelle and Field Marshal Haig and the war councils O.. France ana n sand.
 The partto be played by each beli. 'eerent has been definitely agreed .upon and a schedule has been ar hanged as for one great cohesive force. Various tasks have been precisely a. !otted along the wide reaching battle Inc sand the results thus far attained justify the Sonclusion that the su- preme military test Of the war is near al hand
 It was planned that the British should strike from ArNs, while The French guns still were roaring their preparation for infantry hosulitias further to the south The successes gained in the first stages of the Brit ish advance have given the French great confidence in the inauguration o. their own enterprises.
 The whole struggle in the western theater promises to be titanic one. The allies are prepared as never be fore, both in material and personne, | and are cooperating with a smooth 1 ness which comes from a complete | understanding of the work in hand l The Germans haYe more divisions on the western front than would have heen thought possible year ago and | however much of ali "easterner' Field | Marshal von Hindenburg may have been jn the past, he will have to de ote his entire time and attention to western events for some weeks to come.
 Already g half score of Germany's 1 best divisions have been smashed to | Pieces by the British onslaught and | their own unsuccessful counter-at | tack9. The Bavarian divisions were sacrificed first, bnt the Prussian guard divisions thrown in to stem the Brit 1 !sh floodttdc have been suffering such | casualties m the last few days that they will have 10 be relieved
 The Canadians accounted for a l large contingent of granadors in the | fighting about the Pimpe while yes | terday's affair at Lagnicourt took its heaviest toll bo,h in dead and pris- oners from five German guard regl- | ments
 It will ever be one of the most strik- ] iEg pictures of this war, the rout of 1 the Germans at Lagnicourt alter what | they believed to have been a success frl attack. Running for their own l trenches, which were part of the | famed Hindentnrg line, they were 1 trapped by the barbed wire entangle- 1 ments which had been built with such great strength and thickness in front 1 or them. The boast of the linden burg line has been it's belts of pro tectiye wire.
 Caught within the meshes of this wire the Gernnn guardsmen screamed 1 madly for help and guidance. Some | like trapped rabbits. scirried up and l down the outer barrier searching in vain for openings The British troops meantime had the greateFt opportunr ty for open field rife booting since the battle of the Marne.
