FRENCH START
A new SMASH

Already the battle has advanced
su tnciently to insure this result
IL 1T continues favorable to the
French. But several weeks con
tinuous operations are likely be-
fore the decisive moment in this
stroke is reached.
That the German appreciate the
exact degree of the menace was
indicated today In the number and
fierceness of the enemy counter
attacks launched against the
French.
Another Wedge.
The week has witnessed steady
advance OF the wedge toward Cor
beny.
Meanwhile, the French have
completely captured all observa-
tories dominating the Ailette val
ley, by a battle fought with tactics
similar to those being pursued on
the Craonne sector.
Further successes reported to-
day north of the Moronvilllers
crest is one other menace to the
German line which may force
their retirement. Another wedge
is being driven here into the big
bend in the German front.
This is far behind the present
German line against which the
British are battering to the north.

WASHINGTON, May 2S. -
Bread is the price Of international
peace in Europe.
And the size of the loaf will
now depend absolutely on what can
be done from the North American
continent" according to Herbert G.
Hoover, Americas new food ad-
ministrator.
The allies in order to provide the
minimum bread ration, which the,
are now giving their people, will
require more than 500 100000
bushels of wheat at the next har-
vest, Hoover said today.

pend on America whether there
will be numerous repetitions OF
Fridays aerial assassinations Of
women, children and non-combat-
ants in English villages by Ger
man airmen.
The frank hope that the United
States will soCn send large num-
bers of aeroplanes to England to
fight German marauders was ex-
pressed here today.
Although Fridays air raid was
Ipopularly considered mere wom-
en- and baby killing expedition, 1t
is realized by officials that there
was distinct military purpose be-
hind it.
The German scheme is undoubt-
eddy aiming at keeping as many
aeroplanes as possible at home for
defense of England, thus weaken
ing the British air strength at the
front.
England will defend her towns
as much as possible with the pres
ent means at her disposal at home
without depicting the front.
In the meantime, the frank
hope is voiced in several quarters
that American air reinforcemeuts
will be here soon.

loaf you could not preserve public
tranquility. Bread is the price OF
peace"
In addition to the 500,000,000
bushels of wheat needed, Hoover
has informed congress. the allies
will also require somewhere over
$50, 100000 to 100000 BUSH
els of other cereals"
Therefore, we have problem
here of furnishing anywhere from
500, 100000 to one billion bushels
of grain" Hoover said.
The bulk of the bread burden is
now on the United States because
the allies crops are short millions
of bushels.
In France alone, Hoover said,
teh wheat crop Is down So per
cent, creating deficiency of 1907
100000 bushels. All former
sources of cereals for the allies
are now cut off. These were orig
inally Russia, Rumania, Bulgaria,

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES


WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
NEAR CRA0NNE, May as
Steadily through one entire week
a battle has been raging around
Craonne which may ultimately
force Germany's retirement to the
Meuse.
The French communicates have
not mentioned the fighting, except
incidentally-but 1t has continued
necessarily, bitterly--and victor
iously for the French.
Already the French troops have
descended from Paon plateau into
the valley of the Miette. Today
they were steadily driving a two
edged and fatal wedge into the
German lines.
Once this wedge is sufficiently
plunged into the enemy's front
the French can turn either north
or south-or In both directions
simultaneously.
VIII Take Several Weeks.
Successful movement In either
direction will be sufficient to
force a German retirement to the
Mouse line. to save the front
northward through Laon. st.
