CANADIAN WHEAT To
MOVE AT ONCE FOR
FLOUR MILLS IN EAST

Washington, Oct 24-Under an ar
rangement between the United States
food administration and the Canadian
food controller. large supplies of Cana
dian wheat are to begin moving at
once by way Of the Great Lakes to
eastern American -four mills SO they
may resume full capacity operations.
The wheat will be purchased through
the Canadian government at the same
price as fixed for the 1917 crop.
No Change in Harvest Price
Unless peace should intervene anu
the food administration come to an end
there will be no change in the gov
ernment's purchase price Of the 1917
harvest of wheat. This announcement
was made today by the food admins
ira ton in denial of rumors current in
some agricultural sections that the
price was to be altered.
In the event Of peace, it was pointed
out. the large quantities of wheat now
inaccessible in Australia and India
would be available to the worlds mar
kets and the maintenance Of the pres
ent American price would be highly
unlikely.

since Yesterday exceeds 5000. OF the

According to Marcel Hutin Of the Echo
FIVE main points;
First that the enemy nowhere on the
western front has been able to take the
initiative since February, 1916; second the
enemy continues in state Of inferiorty:
third, he has been obliged repeatedly to
withdraw his lines between ST. Quentin
and the Ailette; fourth, he has been beat
en- in Flanders and obliged to give
ground; fifth, he will be forced to resign
himself to another strategic movement
rearward if he wishes to escape disaster
NJ Hutin in this connection says French
aviators have reported seeing in the Laon
region trees sawed through and villages
demolished.

These latter have been especially de-

the standard cargo vessels. They are
planned for a speed of at least Il
knots.
High Speed Of New Vessels
The high speed will furnish one pro-

The manning of the transports by

ships present an even greater prob

navy ships, but the shipping board is
training large forces at several places
