sponded, not only by reaching the
menaced ground in season to help
thwart the boche intent to drive west
through this important point, but by

also, making good.
As the actions around Chateau

the first in which this organization

100000 men
TObE CALLED
IN AUGUST
American Program Rushed to
Meet German Menace of
New and Heavy Blows
In France.
Ry Associated Press.

Washington. July 6.--The present
delay Of the Germans in pressing at
tacks in France means only that they
are preparing new and heavy blows,
General March, chief of staff, said to-
day in his weekly'conference with the
newspapermen.'
1T is perfectly evident" he said,
"that this delay is preparatory to a
heavy assault in force by the German
high command. The present condi-
ton of affairs does not mean any
thing but that. They are recognizing
their troops. filling up losses, and pre-
pairing to try it again.
with reference to the American
program, we have embarked 1000 600
men and now we are going after the
second million"
Another indication of the pressure
under which the American program
is being rushed to meet the German
menace came from the provost mar
shall generals Office today when Or
ders were issued to local boards to
speed up physical examination of the
new class one men and have them
ready for cali in August.
Statements of the draft program
made public in congress indicated the
purpose of calling out at least 100000
men during August, although subse-
quent calls during the year were not
expected tosexceed one half of that
figure monthly.

WILSON TO VETO
WHEAT PRICE OF
-$2.40 A BUSHEL
Rate Fixed by Compromise Be-
tween House and Senate
Mould Raise Cost. of as
Flour So Barrel. ~

Washington, July g. President
Wilson will veto the annual agricul-
tural appropriation bill because Of the
rider agreed to by both senate and
house today fixing the government
minimum guaranteed wheat price at
$40 bushel. This information was
transmitted to Chairman Lever of the
house agricultural committee today,
through Postmaster General Burleson
just before Speaker Clark had signed
the bill preliminary to sending 1t to
the White house.
Officials estimated that if the $24O
price for wheat is approximated, the
price of -four would be increased by
approximately 81 barrel, with an in
crease of from 2 to 3 cents in the
price OF loaf of bread. With $3.50
as the basic price, wheat probably
would sell in New York at $2,75 a
bushel. it was said.
Should the president veto the bill
the $28,000,000 annual appropriation
for the Department of Agriculture
would be tied up until congress re-
convenes. The department, however,
would not be without funds as con-
gress today adopted a resolution con-
tinuing last years appropriation until
the appropriation bill finally is en-
acted.
Agreement Reached by Compromise

the position of the house. said: "The

In the northern part of this low

The Australian troops advanced
their line on the Amiens front north

To the Australians who formed fhe
