Government Fixes
Maximum Prices 1t
Will Pay for Beef
May Scale Ranges From
$3.50 to $25.55 Per 100
Lbs, F. 0. B. New York

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Maximum
prices to be allowed in May on pur-
chases Of beef for Americas fighting
forces and the Allies were announced
tonight by the army, navy and Marine
corps. While the government controls
beef prices only to the extent of saying
what it will pay, the purchases under
government direction are so enormous
that the maximum figures now fixed are
expected to go far toward stabilizing
prices to the domestic consumer.
The plan is to continue allotting gov
ernment and Allied contracts among
the packers at prices based upon pre-
valllng livestock markets, provided they
are not higher than the stated maxi
mum: On the other hand, if there
should be drop in the market, and no
agreement on prices had been reached
IN the meantime, the Federal Trade
Commission will be called on to ascer-
tain costs on which to base new maxi
mum government prices.
CONSOLIDATION of all meat purchases
TOT the American government and the
Allies in single bureau at Chicago
also was announced tonight by the
TODD administration +. l.. Roy of the
ADMINISTRATION Chicago branch, will
be commissioned in the army quarter
master corps to take charge Of the Of
fce. He will be assisted by Gordon
Hateley, of Chicago, in connection with
purchases for the Allies.
Following is the announcement of
the beet prices:
"The army and navy and the Marine
Corps announce that their meat re-
qulrements for May delivery Except
upon the Pacific Coast) will be allotted
among the packers (unless lower bids
are received) at prices based on live
stock markets, but in no event higher
than the following base prices per 100
pounds
Good steers, 500 to COO pounds, f.
O. b. New York, frozen and wrapped,
commercial trim for export, S24O5
Same, 600 to 700 pounds, S24SO.
Same, 700 pounds up, s25.55.
Navy requirements, S2465.
Cows, 500 to 600 pounds, $21 so.
Army beef of special weights, with
special trim Or for special purposes will
have proper differentials
''1n case the markets go lower and
prices are not agreed upon, they will
be determined by the government,
which will ask the advice of the Fed
oral Trade Commission in cost assort-
ment if necessary. The Allies will not
but at higher levels than the army and
navy.
"The packers will not attempt to in
crease price for the domestic trade be-
cause of these allotments."

Labor has gained throughout the
last year In the feeling and thought
OF the world. The strain and perils OF
the times have brought an unusually
sober and reflective state Of mind. Men
and women have been more than com.
monty concerned with the grayest
problems Of existence. They hive
given more than the ordinary consid-
Grafton to the needs and dangers of
life.
All this has contributed to the DIG.
nifty and honor of hard work. Never
was there more general recognition
OF the necessity of meeting real trials
manfully and playing a mans part in
the serious business Of living. Never
IN recent times was 1t more difficult
10 shirk without dlscredit or spend
the crowded years In idleness without
correcting respect and reputation. The
world has so much to do, so many
great tasks crowded upon its mcu.a,
and physical resources that work Is
more than ever before the plainest ond
most vital duty Of all who have
strength for service.

DRIVE BOCHE BACK
TO OLD OEFENSES
GERMANS RACING BACK TO HIN.
DENBURG LINE, WHERE THEY
MAY MAKE FINAL STAND.
Allied Forces During Past Week Have
Made Important Gains, Capturing
Thousands of Teutons and TAX
ing Quantities of Guns.

Paris.-The German army is being
rapidly driven back to the old linden
burg line, where it Is expected a final
desperate stand will be taken in an
endeavor to stop the onrushing allied
forces.
The Hun forces are exhibiting signs
of having lost their earlier enthusiasm
and there seems to be a general feeling
of depression and gloom, as evidenced
among the prisoners captured. And
many prisoners are being taken. as
well as so many guns that all count
has been lost.
On some parts of the northern battle
front the British have reached points
a thousand yards from the old linden
burg line, which seems strongly held.
In addition to crossing the Albert
Bapaume road at many places, the
British have made progress southwark
for considerable distance with the
cavalry operating in front of the in
fantry.
In the engagements of the last week
the French have captured Lassigny
and have driven a deep wedge to the
north, with its base on the line Ribe-
court-Soissons. In the fighting the
French have taken about 1900 prison
ers and more than 200 guns. They have
placed NOyon in pocket and have out
thanked the enemy positions along the
Vesle river
While these operations were in prog
ress the British, who had been held I'D
temporarily in their drive south of AL
bert, launched an offensive north of
that place which has been successful
in every way.
The Germans have counter-attacked
frequently in the last few days, in an
effort to wear out the attackers and to
hold positions which are the mainstay
OF the German right flank in the Pr
cardy salient. Once these positions are
lost, the Huns must go back beyond
Bapaume and Peronne to the linden
burg line Already Bapaume is out
fianked to the north, where the Brit
fsh have taken Ervillers and are near
st. Leger.
Since July Is the allies have taken
about 10000 prisoners, and of these
about 10000 have been captured in the
last week. Although no accurate count
of light and heavy cannon captured has
been made public, the reports made
from day to day would indicate that
the allies had taken between 1900 and
1900.
During the week the Germans raided
the American positions along the Vesle
In order to ascertain, no doubt, wheth-
er General Foch was preparing a drive
from that direction. In Lorraine the
Americans wiped out a sharp salient
apexing into their lines when they
captured the town of Frapelle, inf1ict-
ing heavy losses on the foe.
