WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES AT
THE CHAMPAGNE FRONT, May "a
General Petain's new offensive, begun
Sunday and thunderously continuing,
forestalled a gigantic German counter
offensive move.
Prisoners from German lines revealed
the enemy plans today. Their explana-
tions threw light on the tremendous
powei ahind recent German counter
attacn well as the great forces
which french were compelled TO
eject IN ,uelr victorious advance.
The Gerpan prisoners also declared
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg person
ally visited the Corniliet front recently
and supervised all arrangements for the
offensive.
The conquest by the French of the
northern slopes of the Moronvilliers
crest between Mount Cornllet and the
Casaue ended all hopes of the Germans
for an offensive in this sector. Such
an attack had been planned for Tuesday
morning. with the object or regaining
the top of this crest.
Great forces of German reserves were
massed in expectation of this advance.
The Germans brought up new guns and
great stores of ammunition. Then--so
sudden unexpected blow, took the north
ern slopes in front Of the crest and
threw the Germans still further back.
The fury Of the French attack was
sufficient TO hurl back all the German
forces-but their very concentration
permitted the enemy to strike back in
violently powerful counter thrusts.
For two days now these great coun-
ter attacks have been waging back and
forth At some places they have forced
slight giving of ground, but today
the French retained all their important
gains and were here and there still
forging ahead
Early today all the remaining por-
lions of Cornillet were captured, includ-
ing the tunnel under Mount Cornillet.
The Germans hid their reserves in
this tunnel and from it's depths they
frequently poured these forces out just
at the moment that the French sue
ceeded in overcoming the German lines.
This sudden reinforcement of the enemy
would push the French back. The orig
inal French assault on the mount made
Nav was thus thrown back a. the mo-
ment of victory.
In the tunnel as it was ca ptured to-
day. the French found an entire Ger
man battalion including STAFF major.
SteeI-clad canal and river monitors are
effectively aiding the French advance
in the Mount Cornillet sector The lit
tie vessels have participated in the bonn
bardment with as much success in the
battle of the Somme last fall
In the section where they are used the
monitors can disappear into bomb
proofs, built alongside of the waterways
they utilize, thus giving them the ad-
vantage of veritable river submarines.
Presumably these monitors are being
used on the river Suippe.

God Experts Oppose
Maximum Price PA


WASHINGTON, May 22-Although
government food experts oppose fixing
maximum prices on staple food prod.
ucts except to force big holders to re-
lease their supplies, protection for the
consumer will be one OF the first con-
siderations of the new food control ad-
ministration.
If there is a shortage I'm any food sta
pie and it becomes essential to lower
the price, the government. it was said
today, will not hesitate to take over
supplies and distribute them itself. In
this way officials believe more can be ac-
complished than by setting maximum
prices beyond which sellers may not

power OF CO .mandeer.
A short crop of any commodity, food
experts say, will send prices up through
competitive bidding, despite ordinary
regulatory measures and the only rem
edy, they hold, in this case is for the
government to take over the product
paying the grower good price ID
distributing the food where ii is most
needed.
European demands for food this year
will take all of Americas surplus. The
allies, it has been stated on good au-
thority, need one billion bushels Of grain
to carry them through the year. With
normal crops this country can furnish
400, 100000 bushels of this. and Can
ada 100000. This will fill only 50
per cent of the allies needs, but officials
blieve America, by economizing. can in
crease this TO so per cent, provided crops
are normal. The food administration,
as soon as organized, WILL start a cam
paisn for saving in the household and
hopes to cut down, ordinary consumption

A re-drsft Of the administration food
bill. even more drastic in it's terms than

Appointment of Herbert c. Hoover to

practically every conceivable power to
control food--and food prices.
The original bill gave the president
authority to fix minimum and maximum
prices of foodstuffs. to prevent export
of foods, to Ak tariff rates during the

sumption.
Chairman Lever expects formally to

ably next week, after passage of the

ries of two food bills-the bill to per-
nit food census and to provide money
