LARGE SUPPLY OF
MUNITIONS NEEDED
BY FRENCH TROOPS

Paris. March so.-(Correspondence
Of The Associated Press)-It was not
until the battle of the Marne was at
its height when war munitions were
running low that the French govern
ment realized the imperious need of
an intense production of war materi-
al. according to statements made by
Albert Thomas, minister of NUM-
tions, In the chamber of deputies. M.
Thomas was speaking in reply to
criticisms Of the conditions under
which war material had been sup
piled to the French army.
From his assertions, it appears that
the French war department had esti-
mated before the war that it would
be necessary for state arsenals to pro-
duce not more than 1900 shells a
day. In the belief that the conflict
would be short, no provision what
ever was made for the production of
explosives during the hostilities.
When 1t was discovered, during the
battle Of the Marne. that this esti-
mate was insufficient, Alexandra Mil
lerand. then minister Of war, sum-
moned to Bordeaux the heads Of all
manufacturing establishments avail
able and organized them into groups
for the rapid production of 3-inch
shells.
Neither the government nor the
manufacturers had then any basis for
figuring the costs. The exceptional
conditions and the great need Of i'm
mediately replenishing the supply, NJ
Thomas said; accounted for the alb
normal prices and for. the fabulous
profits reaped by the manufacturers
Three-inch shells at that time cost
the government fifteen francs each.
Today they are purchased at prices
ranging from six francs and fifty
centimes to seven francs and fifty
centimes.
The French war department has
placed $4,000 contracts for artillery,
pro1ectiles and explosives since Sep
tember, 1914, NJ. Thomas said. All
munitions-producing plants in
France, he added, have been under
the control Of the state from the be-
ginning. Replying to deputies who
demanded that all industries able to
contribute to the national defence
should be requisitioned by the gov
ernment M. Thomas declared that
this would cause disorganization. He
accepted a proposal for a regime un-
der which the state would exercise a
control and share in the profits Of
these Industries.
The government has established
ten new gun foundries since Septem-
Der. 1914. and has enlarged eighteen
others, it developed in the debate.

HIGHEST PRICES
REACHED By WHEAT

Chicago. March as.-Highest war
prices yet were touched today in the
wheat market, the quotation for May
delivery jumping to within 1-8c to
$1.98 bushel. Today's record which
resulted from excited rushes to buy,
was the topmost reached by any future
delivery since 1864.
Sensational crop damage reports.
especially from southern Nebraska
were largely responsible for the new
upturn. The market closed unsettled
at the same as yesterdays finish to
3 7-8c higher with May at $1.97 7-8
to $1.98 1-8 and July at $1.66 5-8 to
$1.66 3-4. Corn gained 3-S to 7-8c
net: oats quarter to l 1-S to lao
and provisions Is to 27@ soc.
The high premiums being paid for
cash wheat were taken as pointing
clearly to the urgency Of the demand
and the dullness Of stocks at consum-
ing poitns.
Corn assembled with wheat. All de-
liveries went to new high price levels
for this seasons crop. Oats came up
to within a fraction of the tip top sea-
son values scored last November:
trade broadened. and shorts scurried
to cover.
Provisions advanced sharply on
purchases credited to commission
houses and packers and impelled by
the upward swing of tho hog market
and of grain. Lard especially was in
demand.

KENNEL CLUB
HOLDS MEETING
LAST EVENING
Important Changes to be
Made in Roster of Events
For September Run.

At Q meeting Of the directors Of the
Grand Forks Kennel club held last
evening, plans were made for the an
.nual field trials to be staged during
the early part of September. In past
years it has been customary to stage
the event In August but due to, the
change Of dates for the hunting sea-
son, the directors decided to make
the tryouts somewhat later.
Another important change will be
made in the roster of events with the
abandonment of the free for all stake
runs and the Introduction of a shoot
ing dog stake. One hour heats will
be adopted instead Of the half hour
stakes and a derby stake and all age
stake will complete the events.
The shooting dog stake will be the
big event of the field trials. This will
be run on the second day of the COM
petition.
Trophy cups will be given instead
of the cash prizes which were previ-
ously awarded. A bench show will
also be staged and will be open to all
