British Front Sees
 Desperate Fighting
(From a Staff Correspondent of The
 Associated Press).

tFrom Staff Correspondent of The Associated Press).
 BRITISH HEADQUART FRS IN FRANCE, April 2S, (via London).- There was most desperate fighting along the British front today and the Germans evidently apurTe1 on by the declarations from Field Marshal von Hindenburg. that they must hold their present positions at all costs. are making a resistance more stubborn than any heretofore encountered. At various points captured in the first on ward rush by the British. the Germans have been ordered into counter at- tacks with a reckless disregard for loss of life.
 In some places there was furious hand to hand fighting. The British got in we'll with the bayonet, but there was one bit of fighting in which even bayonets were forgotten and the men went at each others throats and eyes. Many Germans went to their death from blows from rifle butts.
 The Canadians who had been more or less resting since they swept the Germans of both slopes of Vimy ridge on Easter Monday, made a brilliant assault against Arleaux-en-Gohelle and captured that village and held it against all counter attacks.

the face of the mine said the rescue crews knew where there were six or eight other bodies which they could Lot reach until the gas cleared away.
 Tn my opinion there was no fire in the mine" Dalrymple said. In this view he is joined by practically all employers and rescue men here.
 Rescue men. old miners, and old residents in this section put the pres ent disaster down as the worst that ever occurred in the southern Color ado coal fields. The same men united in shaking their heads and saying: 'T don't know" when asked about the cause ofthe explosion.
 A peculiar phase Of the affair was that several ofthe bodies brought out late today had had the hair burned off them and the skin blackened as though it had been scorched. The rescue men said probably 1t was due to the flash of the explosion. Wheth-

BRITISH AND FRENCH AV|ATORS ALREADY PLAN
 FOR ARRIVAL OF AMERICAN b|ROMEN AT FRONT

ent has talked with many flying corps officers of distinction and all agree that the only way to train men for war flying is in actual fighting. They frankly say that in this way many men may be lost. but that those who survive are worth their weight in gold and prove brilliant as flight and squadron leaders.
 Officers of the British flying corps say that America must be prepared to pay such a price; that she must re- member this when the losses begin to mount up. She must understand, they point out, that out of the losses will come men who will reflect glory upon her oolors and lend brilliance to the brightest pages of he rhistory.

Britain Loads Up On Wheat, Sending
 Prices Tumbling
(By Review Leased Wire).

CHICAGO. April 2S.-Speculative wheat prices withered away today on the receipt of the announcement that the British government has acquired sufficient supplies for the present, in- cluding most Of the 33,000,O00 bushels at Winnipeg. Before prices collapsed a bushel of wheat in Chicago for inn mediate delivery commanded $3.14. a figure far in excess of a year ago attained even on paper money basis during the American Civil War.
 Experts generally agreed tonight that there was enough wheat in the United States and Canada to supply all domestic requirements until grain from the new harvest would be avail able. The July option here today had a range from S2.36 down to S2.2O 1-2, with the latest trading at $2.25 to s2.36.

 USE TO MAKE BOOZE
Colonel Cries For Whole Po- tential Might of Nation To Be Hurled At Germany, While Auditors Cheer.

CHICAGO, April 29.-"Farm and Arm" With this battle cry Theo- dore Roosevelt entered Chicago today and in two stirring speeches urged that every energy of the entire na- ton be directed toward making the potential might of the United States felt in the war against Germany. and he demanded that not an hour be lost in despatching troops to the trenches. His first speech was made at a luncheon at noon; his second at a mass meeting in the immense amphi- theatre at the Stock Yards.
 He advocated universal training as a permanent policy; he advocated conscription. but he pleaded that he should be allowed to recruit a divis- ion for immediate service with the allies.
 Strikes at Booze.
 He was roundly applauded when he urged that during the war the use of grain for the manufacture of alcohol ic beverages be prohibited.
 At the luncheon Harry Pratt Jud- son. president of the University of Chicago, introduced a resolution to be forwarded to President Wilson re- uuesting that the Colonel be author jed to raise a division and to lead it into France. Mir Roosevelt interrupt ed tc ask if be might amend it.
 Would Follow Division.
 Make it read that We want the di- vision sent under any competent of ficers. and please to let Roosevelt go along"
 Certainly" replied Dr. Judson, and his resolution was adopted unanimous ly.
 "Pd 20 as a second lieutenant" added Colcnel Roosevelt.
 MT. Roosevelt referred to Major General Thomas H. Barry. command ing the central department, U. s. A.. who was among those at the speakers table. as being of the type of man who might well lead such division.
 The WaIIopine Kind.
 In his night speech Colonel Roose- welt said he did not care to enter a limited liability war.
 When you hit a man hit him hard" he said, If you hit him soft, he will hate you for hitting, and despise you for hitting soft. No one can proclaim patriotism by meeching meanness, which would make friends with Ger many by not being nice to Joffre."

 Already plans are making to in crease the number of Americans now flying for France, while all the mem bers of the British royal flying corps are ready to welcome and aid in the Training of Americans in all the arts of war flying. It is realized that the United States army is not on a war basis regarding machines, but it is understood that both the British and French services are prepared to fur nish them temporarily, just as these two services now exchange machines as necessity demands.

amendments were adopted including one to make it unlawful to sell or give liquor to officers or men in uni form or to members of congress or other officials. and then the senate reversed itself and adopted a substi- ute simply forbidding sale of liquor to soldiers in uniform and giving the President wide discretionary author ity to make other prohibition regula- tions.
 In the house a similar amendment was rejected on point Of order An amendment by Senator Curtis stipU- lating the men subject to draft who voluntarily present themselves shall be recorded as volunteers was accept ed by Chairman Chamberlain and went into the bill.
 Slaekers' Bill Beaten.
 Another long debate was evoked over amendments by Senators Thom- as and LaFollette tO exempt from conscription those having ~conscien- tiOus objections" to military service. Both were defeated without a roll call
 Many of the more radical amend ments are expected to be thrown out in consequence and administration leaders hope to restore virtually all of the important features of the bill to their original form before it goes to the President The question og ages probably will form the biggest barrier to a quick conference agree ment. The debate on conscriptiOn brought out some dramatic passages in both senate and house In the senate the issue was fought out on Senator McKellar's amendment which would authorize call for 500.00O volunteers and not put cOnscriptiOn into effect unless the half million men did not respond within ninety days.

 T. R. Amendment Wins. Among the amendments adopted in the senate was one which would per nit Colonel Roosevelt to recruit a volunteer force for service in France A similar proposal had been rejected by the house.
 Clark Favors Bill. Speaker Clark. Democrat Leader Kitchin and Chairman Dent of the military committee, who had favored the volunteer system, all voted for the draft bill on the final roll call. Republican Leader Mann also was re- corded in the affirmative, as was Miss Rankin. who previously had voted with the volunteer advocates. Differ on Age Limit. Whether congress finally would ac- cept the staff's recommendations re- garding the ages between which con scription would apply appeared more uncertain. In the senate the bills stipulation that men between l9 and 25 should be liable to the draft was changed to make the minimum 21 and the maximum 27. The house voted down all proposed changes in the mil itary committees recommendation that the limits be fixed at 21 and 40.
 These and a numberof lesser amend ments will be considered as speedily as possible in conference in the hope that the measure may be sent to the President for his signature by the middle of next week.
 Draft by State.
 Among the more important amend ments adopted in the house was one empowering the President to exempt from the draft in his discretion per sons engaged in agricultural work. Another would require each state to furnish quota of men apportioned according to population.
