YANKEE TROOPS
 REGARDED WELL:
 MUCH EXPECTED
Allied Officers Predict That The
 Americans Will Make Good Showing In Action.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April B. It is generally agreed by British and French officers who have come in contact with the Americans in training in France and England, that the Yankees are capable of fitting themselves for the front in from sixty to ninety days, provided they are sent into action in company with veterans. These officers have been deeply impressed by the quick per ceptibilitiy of the Yankees and they predict that the showing that will be made by them will justify the use of partially trained men.
 Germany, it is stated, has been combed for the present drive, and has been compelled to use soldiers hitherto considered unfit for actual service. It is doubted if such troops can make much of showing against the kind of men sent to France by the United States, and who are per mitted to take part in the fighting before they have completed their training, as originally decided upon.

Turns again home.

Poor Unable to Obtain Food and

Chihuahua City, Mexico, March 20 (Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Food is so expensive and so difficult to obtain in Mexico, one of the most fertile countries in the world, that the poor are suffering want and even starvation while the more prosperous Mexicans find 1t diff f1cult to provide sustenance for their families.
 Prices of food in the United States, even if considered by American house. wives to be high, are not to be com pared with those prevailing in Mex ico since the embargo was placed on the exportation of foodstuffs from the United States to neutral countries.
 An opportunity to compare Mex ican prices for staple articles with those obtaining in the United States is afforded by the following quota = tions from merchants here:
 Sugar sells for 27 cents a pound, American money, and is very scarce at this price.
 American butter brings 90 cents a pound, gold. and is the occasioi for
