RESISTANCE OF THE
TEUTONSHALF-HEARTED
British Line Now Within One
Miles of the Center:
of Lens.

CANADIAN ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS IN FRANCE. June
2s.-Under a protecting eoncen-
tratlon Of artillery fire, Canadian
troops early to-day stormed and
captured the German front line
before Avion, suburb Of Lens.
The Canadians, heartened by
successes gained during tho last
few days, at relatively small cost
decided this morning to attack
across the open ground sIoping
upwards toward Avion and the
village of Leauvette, near the Sou
chez river. They met with oppo-.
sition Of serious character at
only one point, where combina-
tion Of machine gun fire and un-
cut wires delayed the advance.
The attack was not intended to be
pressed home at this particular
spot, as the ground specially IA
vored the Germans, SO that the
delay did no harm.
The assauIting troops conn.,
prised men from British Columbia,
Manitoba. Central Ontario and
Nova Scotia.
BY this mornings advance the
British line has been carried for
ward to within one mile Of the Gen.
ter Of Lens.
The attack was made along a
two-rniie front. On the extreme
left the Nova Scotians pushed
their way up the lens-Arras road
to the village of Leauvette. Here
they took a number Of prisoners.
At the other end of the line,
east Of the railway tracks, the
enemy due-outs were bombed.
Their occupants belonged to the
crack Prussian guards corps, the
Fifth Guard Grenadiers, who re-
fused in most cases to come out
and surrender. One officer and q
men Of the erenadiers decided
that discretion was the better
part Of vaIor. Others are believed
to be still alive in the duo-outs,
which will be thoroughly ex-
plored after the ground won Is
consolidated.
At daybreak Canadian airpianes
flying low over Avion saw few
Germans there. Craters which re.
Gently were made by mine explo-
aions at the crossroads are now
seriously hindering them in bring
inssup troops from Lens for coun-
ter-attaeks.
The enemy's guns have been

tlon trenches, but the Canadian
"heavies" are now taking them on,

SPECULATION IN
FUTURES WILL END
Millions to Come Under the
Federal Control-Other
Gains Not Included.

CHICAGO, June % Government
plans for food control. according to Il
statement given out here today by
President Griffin of the board of
trade, include absolute control Of the
wheat trade in all its commercial as,
poets. There can be no speculation
in It, Buying and selling OF other
grains for present or future delivery
will be unrestricted. Mr.. Griffin's 8
statement follows:
"On Tuesday and Wednesday OF
this week, representatives Of the
grain exchanges Of the United States
were in conference at Washington
with Herbert c. Hoover. food ad-
ministrator, Julius H. Barnes, his
chief assistant, and others connected
with the food administration.
The exchanges, through their rep
resentatives, have given their whole
hearted support to the admintstra-
tion's plan for food control. Mr.
Hoover and his associates have un-
folded to us their plans in great
detail.
THE plan decided on will permit
unrestricted competitive buying and
selling Of all commodities for pres
ent and future delivery, with the eX-
ception Of wheat. The United States
government through its food admin
istration will completely dominate
distribution of wheat for domestic
and export purposes. Not only will
they purchase the wheat for This gov
ernment but for the allies and neu-
trails as we'll
The millers likewise will come
under control Of the food administra-
tfon and their wheat will be pur-
chased and flour distributed under
the same control. AS must be appar-
ent, the operation Of this plan will
preclude possibility OF trading in
wheat for future delivery. However.
commission merchants. receivers and
others acting as agents in the pur-
chase and sale Of sample grain will be
permitted TO handle sample wheat on
the same basis as all other commo-
ditieS."
