WHEAT CROP WILL
BE SUFFICIENT FOR
NEEDS OF COUNTRY

Minneapolis, May 11-Agitation for
use Of whole wheat flour, bran flour
and other by-products, instead of white
flour is not justified by the wheat out
look as reported by the department of
agriculture, in the opinion of G. A..
Thomas, of the Washburn- Crosby
Milling company. The present crop
will be sufficient for domestic and ex-
port needs, and will not necessitate
drastic measures to reduce consump-
ton, Thomas said today.
White flour is the cheapest food OBJ
tainable and 1t would be unwise to en-
courage consumption of entire wheat
flour" Thomas said. This would take
away feed for cattle and reduce beef
and pork production. Furthermore.
entire wheat flour will not keep
through hot months nor will 1t stand
shipment to troops in other countries.

While the winter wheat crop Is adj

BRITISH REPULSE
GERMAN ASSAULTS

London, May 11.-Vigorous German
attempts to shake Field Marshal Haig $
grip on Arleux positions and lines to
the south of the Souchez river were
all repulsed, the British commander
in chief reported today. British artil-
lery and machine gun fire stopped the
enemy's assaults. Around the Sou
chez salient the attack was repeated
a second time, with liquid fire employ
ed by the Germans. but it was likewise
repulsed.
The Franco British offensive seemed
to halt temporarily today. Official re-
ports indicated no major fighting ac-
tions, but scores of local advances,
counter attacks, repulses, and general
skirmishing that may be preliminary
to resumption of a general concerted
movement.
The Germans still maintained their
grip on Fresnoy and Bullecourt, al
though at the latter place their hold
was slowly being shaken loose by re-
peated British thrusts. according TO

Field Marshal Haig confined his re-
port to detailing counter attacks by

KENTUCKY OAK TO BE USED ON
BATTLESHIPS.

The Navy Department is looking
to Kentucky to furnish much of the
deck timber it is preparing to use in
the construction of battleships. 1t
made this clear when E. E. Hoggs and
Frank Alley, of Morehead, owner Of
tract of valuable timber land in
Rowan county, called on the chiefs
of the Breaus of Construction and Re-
pair and Supplies and Accounts, in
company with Representative w. j..
Fields.
White oak timber that comes up to
the required Government standard is
in great demand just at this time for
shipbuilding purposes, and when
Chief Constructor David w Taylor
and Paymanster Samuel MCGOWAN
learned that Mr.. Hogs and MI. Alley
had an abundant supply on their
property they let it be known that
the Navy Department expects to pur-
chase all the available supply of
white oak timber in Kentucky suit
able for shipbuilding needs, provid-
ed, of course, that the prices asked
are not found unreasonable.
