 trred S5S prisoners, including twenty one officers and twenty machine guns.

Most of the ground was con tained in the Maisons de Champaigne larm and on hill lS5, which lies about onethird of a mile south of the farm. 1 The last French official statement mentioned only artillery activity in , the vicinity of Maisons de Champagne |
 1 and declares there was no infantry
 activity there Berlin's suppementary report mentions no further activity in Champagne.
 Except for raids by British, French and German troops at various points along the front and fin France and in two small engagements In Galicia there has been no important infantry | fighting on the other of the battle fields. Official communications re- port mwah aerial activity on the west ern front.

 The German people as yet are not starving and they still have provisions in adequate quantities to support lite' while in the case of further decreases in available supplies, there is still the institution of compulsory soup kitch- ems" the most economical method of making all foodstufts go as far as pos sible, Life for the civilian population of Germany on the present scanty al lowances of food, however, is far from pleasant.
 Many agricultural experts believe that the central empires did quite as well this winter and last as could De eXpe,ted and that the populations oi Germany and Austri-liungary must re concile themselves to getting along during the coming harvest year on no greater allowance than in the pas'. The problem as frankly discu.sed in agriculture circles and as outlined Tn recent circular of the Prussian mll' istry of agriculture is not one of more land for crops, but one of labor and fertilizer to cultivate the land already available.
 Very little help, Adolph von Batockl president of the food regulation board stated in recent address, can be eN- pectcd from outside sources in the future. Neighboring countries ne said. being under the steadily Evoreas- Ing pressure of the British sea con trol would have little or nothing avail able for export to Germany this year and the Germans must pull Tn thel belts a notch tighter and reconclie themselyes to holding out on present allowances.

REASONABLE PRICE" TQ
 OBTAIN IN THE FUTURE
Both Canada and United States Have Worked Jointly in the Movement to Avert What Would Have Put the Publishers Out of Business if Un- obstructed

Washington, Feb 1G.-News print manufacturers facing criminal prose cutiOn in United States courts for al legged combination fin restraint of trade proposed to the federal trade commission today that it fix a reas. onable price for the output of the principal plants of the United States and Canada. The commission announc ed tonight it had the proposal under consideration and would reply imme- diate,y. It is generally believed the answer will be an acceptance.
 The action of the manufacturers gives a signal victory to American newspaper publishers who in the face Of advancing paper prices have seen nothing ahead but ruin for many Of their number. If the proposal is ae. cepted, officials say, it will mark an expansion of the functions of the gov
  ferences between two industries opens mp a wide field of possibilities for the future.
 Although nothing has been said con. cerning the continuance of grand jury proceedings in New York, it is well understood the manufacturers move was predicted on the assumption that there would be no criminal prosecu- lions.
 The announcement came after sev- era, days on conferences between rep resentatiyes of manufacturers who make enough of the continents print paper 10 control the market, and at toIneys for the commission. headed by Francis J. Heney of san Francisco The administration has shown the keenest interest in the proceedings and it was said today Secretary Me Adoos aid had made possible the re- suit
 President Wilson has watched the situation since the trade commission began it's inquiry eight months ago.
 II is estimated that if the proposal is accepted and reasonablr prices are fiXod. at least S30000,000 will be say ed 10 American publishers this year. Nothing s said of increased produc- ton. bHt it is understood the manu- iacture~s are willing to keep enough machines on news print to insure a paper supply for the entire country It was learned today that the Can adian government wiz fix a maximum price cf 1-2 cents a pound on news print sold 10 Canadian publishers leaving the price to be charged Amer jeans to be determined in this coun- try. The two governments have work cd in concert in the situation, trying to find means to avert the Threatened disaster to publishers.
 The trade commissions repo"t t. congress on it's investigation will be delayed until a decision is rendere on today's proposal.

Washington, Feb, 16.-The senate turned it's attention to the interna- tional crisis again today, debate on the administration bill to curtail ac- tivity Of foreign agents developing many references to the situation with Germany, and drawing from Chair man Stone of the foreign relations committee q bitter denunciation of newspapers which circulate false statements in order to create q senti- ment of wa.
 "There is no shadow of doubt in the mind of any fair thinking man" said Senator Stone, that there is a cable Of great newspapers in this country seeking to create sentiment and coerce the government of the United States into an attitude of hostility with one of the belligerent powers. ! believe any one who makes such false statements IS a public enemy GAC that he should be punished"
 The foreign chairman made this statement in discussing section of the bill which would make it crime wumlly Or knowingly under oath to make an untrue statement intended 10 Influence the measures or. conduct of foreign government in relation to any dispute or controversy with the Urited States. He argued that the same punisiNnent should apply to any Ierson. inclua,sg editors or pablish- CTS who knowinSrS or wilfully made srch statements nnA under oath.
