FRESN0Y |S STILL OBJECT IF BATTLE
 IF: GREAT ARMIES
TRepublican A. p. Leased wirel

The sanguinary battle between the British and Germans for possession of Fresnoy goes on apparently without abatement It is a battle of desperation on the part of the Germans who see in the loss of the village a double menace-the placing in jeopardy of their entire line north, especially the town of Lens and it's adjacent coal fields and a deeply projecting salient onto their lines which would virtually put the British at the threshold of Cambrai.
 The exact situation in the little vil- lage, which was recaptured by the Ger mans Tuesday after a stubborn de- fense by the Canadians is somewhat obscure. The British war office asserts that Prince Rupprecht's meh met with reverses west of the village Tuesday night during q counter attack, while unofficial advices are that they have been expelled from a greater portion of the village, but are still holding out, although barely able to maintain them selves against the stubborn onslaughts of the Canadians.
 On the other hand, the German of ficial communication asserts that the Germans have held the village against fresh British attacks and in addition ildN ( ldhSn 1Vb IlOfe pTlSOIeTS. III ifldh- ing this claim, however, the. usual de7 tails of victory and claims of san guinary losses inflicted are lacking.
 Wednesday saw return of unfavOr- able weather along the .Anglo-German front, and except around FresnOy the fighting was mainly by the artillery.
 The French meantime have been busy consolidating the positions cap turned from the Germans Tuesday near Chevreux, repulsing counter attacks . and engaging in artillery duels with the Germans.

to have borne about 90 per cent of it. Administration of the relief abroad will be left in the hands of Spanish and Dutch agents and the Belgians and French themselves. The money lent is a part of the S3,000,000 allied fund be- ing raised here
 Herbert C. Hoover, director of the American commission, announcing the loan today said:
 'The inability of the commission to secure ships to provide full rations to Belgium and northern France makes it possible for the SIP, ,500,000 monthly to cover the present restricted operations of the commission. There will be ample need for any balances in hand and any further subscriptions for reconstruc- tion work and the care of orphan chil- dren in Belgium after peace, even if new emergencies during the war do not require the use of all aVailab funds"

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The rail- roads of the west represented to tine interstate commerce commission today that the requested 15 per cent increase would fail by at least S20,600,000 to meet advanced operating costs already effective and anticipated.
 F'orty-SiX western roads or systems, operating 10000 miies of lines fur nished the information upon which this figure computed by L. F.. Wettling, a statistcian, the first witness to testi- fy in their behalf. MT. Wettling gave evidence to show that the general fif- teen per cent advance would produce s135, 100000. Higher cost of labor and other items of operation to which the roads already are committed have in- creased their expenses by 26,1O0,000, he said, while wage adjustments and further increases in the costs of ma terial will add another BPS, 300. 900 when existing contracts expire.
 Statistics dealing with profits show ed that in 1916 the biggest year of their history, the western roads re- ceived a net return of slightly less than five and a half per cent on the property investment. MT. Wettling de- clared that if the roads had paid this years prices last year they would have made a profit of only three and a half per cent.
 Representatives of the western roads began presentation of their ease late today after executives of lines in the southeast had told the commission that an increased rate of at least fifteen per cent was necessary for them prop erly to conduct their businesses Counsel for shippers complained to- day that spokesmen for several roads had not presented all the data desired. They were told by counsel for the roaos that any information omitted had been left out through misunderstanding and would be furnished later if required

Before the senate agriculture c0m- mittee during the day MT. Hoover urged that a central food department be established. He advocated price fixing bills approved by the admin istration as a means of ending specula- tion and argued for prohibition as a war measure. Later he saw the six cabinet members who comprise the council of national defense. At this conference he cited the need for food control and outlined what the allies are doing in this direction.
 "The first of the administration food bills was debated in the house today, Chairman Lever of the agricul- ture committee presenting the meas ure with the declaration that it's prompt enactment is vital to successful con- duct of the war. Several members from the food producing parts of the country attacked the bill as giving too much power to the government, Repre- sentative Graham of Pennsylvania ob- jecting particularly to provisions en- towering the secretary of agriculture to send his agents into places of busi- ness to obtain information.
 "One reason for this provision" Rep resentative Lenroot of Wisconsin re- piled. lis to prevent speculation. This
 
 to get information necessary for that purpose"
 The bill was laid aside for considera- ton of the revenue bill tomorrow, but Mir. Lever announced he would ask that it be taken up as soon as the revenue measure is out of the way, probably early next week.
 Despite the poor outlook for winter wheat the department of agriculture hopes the country will produce a sur plus for export to the allies by growing great spring crop. Secretary Hous- ton said today the country would be unable to keep up its vast exports or the last few years, but that the de- partment saw nothing alarming In the situation if spring wheat does well.
 We believe" he said, there will be a great spring crop and great crops of other grain and other foodstuffs. There is now enough wheat in the United States and in Canada to supply our nominal needs until the new crop is at hand in July and still leave one hun- dred million bushels for export.
 Still the situation is grave. It does look as if we will not have as mucn for export as in the last two or three years.
 "Weather conditions appear to be good for spring wheat. There has been plenty of moisture. The conditions appear to be good, too, for corn" The south, which now uses corn, eats less than four bushels of wheat per capita annually, while Minnesota and other northwestern states which use no corn for food. eat more than seven bushels of wheat.
 i American milling laws prohibit the use of mixed flour. Officials of the department hope to save much wheat
 by changing milling regulations as soon as given power under the food bills.
 Cold storage reports made public today by the department show that the holdings of cold storage eggs in. $50 places of business increased from 174,- : 900 cases April l to 1,S45,00O May 1. Stocks were less by 25 per cent, how ever, than on May 1 last year. Butter stocks increased during the year end ing May 1 about 125 per cent; cheese stocks increased three per cent; apple stocks decreased 33 per cent.

 NEW YORK, May 9.-An armed line steamship which arrived here tonight from European port re- ported that her gun crew fired six shots at a German submarine off the coast of Ireland on May 2. The underssa boat immediately sub merged and 1t was not possible to determine if any of the shots took effect.
 The periscope of the submarine was sighted about p. m. and the American vessel immediately swunu around, to afford the gunners an opportunity for accurate aim. The undersea craft disappeared simuI- taneously with the firing of the first shot, it was said, and did not re-appear. The American ship then proceeded on her course.
