BRITISH ADVANCE
FOR HALF NILE ON
FIVE NILE FRONT
All Ground Gained Is Held
Despite Furious Counter
Attacks
DOMINATING POSITION
NOW HELD BY BRITISH
ALI Attempts to Regain Lost
Ground Are Marked with
Heavy Losses

London, June 9.-The counter attack
stage was reached by the British ad-
vance in the Ypres- -Wytschaetc sector
today. All through the night, front dis
patches said the victorious Tommies
were busy consolidating their new po-
sitions, digging fresh trench systems
and preparing for the expected enemy
counter thrusts. The German assaults
OF this type which, according TO tho
rules Of the war game, may be expect
ed to follow Immediately after an ad-
vance by the British, have all been mo-
tieeably weak. The decentralization
caused by the unprecedentedly terrific
British artillery fire and the mine OPP
eratiOns all seemed to have had their
effect on the Germans.
The "Ypres salientn now wiped out
in the British advance, was formerly
considered SO impregnablc by the enemy
that not near the number of men were
held there that manned less strongly
fortified positions elsewhere on the
front The Germans, however, had ample
time in which to hurry reserves in great
strength to make ready for the assault
which they could see was preparing.
Hard Blow to Hindemburg
But with the Messines.Wy ytschaete
ridge now held by the British--the inn
pregnable position, taken--it was point
ed out today that from now ON Germany
must keep an unusually strong force al
ways opposite the Ypres sector because
of the menace toward Lille. The Bri-
tish victory there is not alone important
in the ground gained, the commanding
strategic position on the ridge now
held, but also because it will further
deplete the reserve strength of the en-
emy, by the necessity of the Germans
forcs around Lille.
"At yesterday evening, after heavy
artillerying, the enemy powerfully at
tackled on the whole of the new 'front.'
Haig reported 'South of YpEes fronA
st. Yves, north of Ypres and the Com
mines canal--a distance of six miles
The attack broke down al midnight
along the whole line.
The German war machine was
strongly on the offensive all along tho
western front today. The counter of
fensive against the British was only one
part of vigorous attempt by the Ger
mans to beat both the French and Bn-
tish back. The French official state
ment reported vigorous assaults along
the Champagne line-at one place four
attempts, all of which were
repulsed.

HERBERT HOOVER
OUTLINES PLANS
OF FOOD CONTROL
From Farm to Kitchen, Regu-
lation of Prices VIII Be
Made Voluntarily
IF THIS PLAN FAILS
FORCE WILL BE APPLIED
will Have Controlling Body
In Charge Of Each and
Every Product
By Robert ]. Bender.

| Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, June 9-Patriotism
will be made the basis of food control,
during the war-at the start. Autocratic
measures such as absolute price fixing
and requisition will not be utilized ex-
cept as last resort.
From the farm to the kitchen, the reg.
ulation Of prices and supply win be ad.
ministered through voluntary agree.
ment, according to the plans of Herbert
Hoover.
"Slackersi or skunks-as Hoover
terms those who might refuse to enter
the proposed agreement will be taken
care of by powers to be authorized by
congress Hoover proposes to have a
controlling body in charge of each pro-
duet that will come under his depart
ment. This body will be composed of
representatives of every link in the
chain from producer to consumer. They
will work out a voluntary arrangement
designed to conserve the food supply
aud greatly reduce prices.
There are certain to be few oh.
ictors, but rs per cent of those to be
called upon, will respond ON patriotic
grounds, Hoover believes. Powers to
requisition must be given the govern,
ment therefore to force the other rs
per cent to follow the leaders. Here is
the Hoover plan, workd out from the
farmer to the housewife with wheat as
an example.
The Plan on Wheat.
Reach an agreement on a price OF
wheat, say $1.50 bushel, based on 10
year average pre-war price, with allow
ance for increased production cost.
simultaneously determine a price for
every other cereal so as to prevent sub
stitution.
Call the elevator owners of the coun-
try together and say to them: "The
farmers are willing to give you wheat
at $l.50. The government will arrange
to loan you money necessary to pay the
price and relieve you of going to the
Chicago auction market to protect your
self''
Call the millers together and tell
them the elevators have wheat at
basic price to the farmer, to which they
added legitimate charge, agreed upon
for storage, grading and the like, and
are now TtduJ " SUI ~ " nv
at a price to be stipulated.
Flour $500 Barrel.
The miller will then be urged to mill
a straight flour and to agree on fixed
charge for so doing so that the consum-
er will get the flour at practically a flat
rate with some variation for transporta-
tion.
Following $1.5O wheat through the
course, Hoover says, would result in
flour to the consumer at $3.50 or 81
one-half the present price.
Gin other words" Hoover has declar-
ed, "here lies the protection of the CON
sumer, and at the same time protection
and indueement to the farmer and the
Of speculation. " 4
A similar course would be pursued
along the channels of produce devei'
opment in other necessaries. Many
elevator men have already responded
TO the idea and win be prepared to
start work along this line as soon as
congress creates the penalty measures
which will eliminate the possibility OF
q slackers.
