Democratic House Caucus
Would Shelvc Prohibition.

Washington, April l9.--Dcmocrats Of
the house in caucus today agreed to
consider at the present extra session

legislation as may be recommended by
the president. Unless the president
recommends it, national prohibition

1t also is possible that n rivers and
harbor bill embracing such proposed
by the war department for the national
defense may be passed. The president
has indicated his wilingno to ap-
prove a measure under certain re-
strctions and the war department also

German Line Crumbling.
(By Associated PreSS.)

The southern part of the Hinden-
burg line in France continues to
crumble or fall back before the French
advance. Thursday witnessed ad-
ditional important gains by the French
at numerous points from scissors
eastward to the old Champagne and
also the capture of men and guns. In
the latter region, northwest of Au-
berive, the French captured strongly
fortified German trenches on front
of mile and a quarter and captured
$50 prisoners. Northeast of Soissons
the villages of Aisy, Jouy and Laffaux
and Forte de Conde were captured by
the French, while to the east near
Hurtebise, another point of support
fell into their hands and with it 500
prisoners and two cannon.
Violent artillery actions are in prog
ress between the Somme and the Disc.
in Champagne, near Lemort Homme,
in the Verdun sector and in Belgium
around Dixmude.
Paris reports that Wednesday, night
the Germans threw II divisions Of
fresh men into the fray between Sois-
sons and Auberive in an attempt to
hold General Nivelle's forces back,
but that their efforts were unavailing <.
Terln says German counter attacks
northwest of Auberive Compensated
for the cncmy's gain of terrain" 1t
is admitted by Berlin that the Ger
mans near Vile Aux Bois retreated to
new lines. being unable to withstand
the French fire.
Comparative quiet, guagcd by the
recent intensive fighting, prevails on
that part of the line, in France held by
the British. The latest official COM
munication reports slight gains for
Field Marshal Haig's forces south of
Monch- Le-Preux and Fampoux and
also to the north in the IIOos sector,
where prisoners were taken.
Considerable fighting is taking place
in the Macedonia thcater, with the
Teutonic allies the aggressors. At
tacks were delivered in the Cerna river
region and between lakes Ochrida and
Presba, but according to Paris, both
were repulsed. Violent artillery duels
are taking place in the districts of
Monastir and Tsrvena Stena and on
the right bank of the Vardar near
Mayadag.

STORAGE HOUSES
STOCKED TO ROOF
With Prices Rising Rapidly
Chicago Warehouses Are
Bursting.

Chicago. April l9.--With food prices
scarcity investigators in Chicago
learned today that storage houses of
this city are stocked to the roofs with
stores of hitherto unapproachcd mag
! nitudc.
Not only are tho private warehouses
OF the dealers and jobbcrs fairly burst
ing with food but the public ware
houses as well, while thousands OF
tons are in cars on sidngs.
The bulk of the stored products con-
sist of sugar rice, canned goods, cof
fee and other -pershables. Owner
| ship Of these goods is not confined tC
| regular dealers and brokers, but ir
many instances by men in other lines
| who have taken a fler' in food and
will, in due course take handsome
profits unless the government inter
venes.
| Chief of Police Schuettler, who took
food census of the city recently, un-
earthed the case Of a physician who

Der. He sold at a big profit last week
Real estate men are said to have gone

WILL ENTER BILLS
FOR FOOD CONTROL
Power to Be Asked to Super.
wise Production.

Washington, April 19.---Legislation
on food control will be introduced in
congress tomorrow.
Power will be asked for the govern
mcnt not only to supervise production,
but to deal with distribution to insure
u fair supply of food to every part of
the country at reasonable prices. De-
tails are not known, but it is believed
actual price fixing may have a place
in laws to be asked and that author
ity will be requested to establish a
virtual food dictatorship if that be-
comes necessary.
The food situation, officials realize,
presents one of the most serious
problems the country will have to
meet during the war. The United
States faces the question Of feeding
not only it's own population on a small
food reserve and poor crop prospects,
but supplying as far as possible the
allies. Administration heads are bend
ing every effort towards convincing
the country Of the need for greater
production and for rigid food econ
| Omies.
Tho department OF agriculture is
building up an organization of state
and county boards through (which to
reach the producer and CONSUMER. In
this work it is calling on experts for
advice and help and is reaching out
through state agricultural departments
and agricultural colleges to set it's pur-
pose before the people.
Secretary Houston today named f.
a. Pearson, president of the Iowa
state college of agriculture, to serve
indefinitely as an assistant sccre-
| tary of agriculture. At the same
time, he invited the heads of five
of the great farmers organizations to
come to Washin gton Monday for a
| food conference Mr.. Pearson will have
particular charge of the organization
of state boards.
In congress today the senate com
merce committee approved u bill tc
give the president authority to en-
barge exports and Representative
Ayres of Kansas introduced a bill tc
