RUSSIANS HELP
GERMANS HOLD
GermanIroops Are Taken
From East to Threatened
Territory in Septem-
Der, French Say.

Washington. D. c.. Nov. 5.-The Brit
Ish and French forces in Flanders have
kept engaged about half the total Ger
man forces on the western front with
out any success being recorded for the
German arms. according to a review of
the situation made public today by the
French high commission. The state
ment deals with operations beginning
early in June. when British forces
opened the battle Of Flanders. In a
summary it says:
w can conclude that the strength
and the continuity of the Anglo-French
~offensives which have. until this day.
prevented Germany from undertaking
offensive operations on a large scale
on the Russian front will. perhaps, re-
strict the help which Germany could
give the Austrian army OF the Italian
front. up to such time as the situa-
ton can be retrieved on this 'front.'"
Germans Use 70 Divisions.
There is clear proof. the statement
says. that the Germans were forced to
employ successfully 70 divisions to
hold the allies in check in the battle
Of Flanders. or about one-half their
total forces on the western front, and
that they suffered enormous losses.
Sending German troops from the
eastern front to support the western
line, began in September, When the
Nineteenth reserve DIVISION was rams
ferred. and that the reduction on the
eastern front prevented the Germans
from carrying out their plans on tha
line during the last week of fine
weather.
The statement says the exact
strength Of the German troops sent
into Italy 20 make possible the present
AustrC-Gelman offensive. is not known,
but II points out that the new French
offensive on the Aisne "has cost the
enemy in two laws the loss of several
villages and important heights, besides
1910 900 prisoners of war, of whom 200
are officers. and 100 cannon, without
counting the large wal material"
Must Send More Troops.
The French commission believes that
will render it still more Imperative
for Germany to transfer more troops
to the French 'front.'
1T is unquestionable," says the state
ment that the state of Russian army
much more than the bad season through
the s%lackening and even the stopping
of all active operations, allowed Ger
many to take away troops from its
eastern front to seek elsewhere the sue
cess so necessary both to the German
people and to disconnected and tired
Austrians.
The statement points out that oper-
ationS on the western front by the al
lies served to limit to some extent
the offensive measures contemplated
by Germany, both in Russia and in
Italy.

CARRANZA TO BUILD
NEW RAILWAY LINE

San Francisco, Nov. 5.-The Car

of lower California, to Santa Rosalia,
the principal town in the southern parts
according to a statement today by Gen.
Robes Del Campo, military governor
Of the southern half Of the peninsula.
Heretofore the two nations have had to
rely on water communication, he said,
because OF the barrier of high noun
tains between the northern and south
ern halls. The railway line which gov
eminent surveyors are already routing
would give the rich gold and copper
mines of the south a chance to get out
their ore, he added.

WHEAT ACREAGE
SETS NEW MARK
Hoover and Department of Agri-
culture Officials Believe Hopes
for 1,O0O,O 600, 900 BusheI
Crop May Be Realized.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 5.-Depart-
ment of agriculture officials are
pleased over reports as to the sowing
Of winter wheat. While all the winter
wheat in more southern localities is
not yet in the ground. the department
is assured there will be a much larger
acreage than last year. The increase
which the department has asked for
is 18 per cent. Reports indicate it may
run as high as that and in any event
will be large.
Wheat exports say that the increased
acreage plus the probability that the
coming winter will not be as hard q
one on wheat as last winter, points to
an enormous crop. Food Administrator
Hoover and department of agriculture
officials have set their hearts on a
crop Of 1000, 900, 600 bushels at the next
thrashing. On basis of new acreage this
may be realized.
