GERMANY IS IN RETREAT.
Baltimore Sun.

Don't imagine that the Allied Of
fensive has stopped. It is only taking
breath, and before long it will be
more offensive than ever. In four
weeks we have recovered 1900 square
miles of territory, captured fifty or
sixty thousand prisoners, five or six
hundred guns, and large quantities Of
ammunitian and other stores. But
that is the smallest part of our gains.
We have changed the whole face of
the war in Germany as well as France.
The shadow of defeat has fallen over
Germany like dark cloud. From
highest to lowest they are beginning
to understand not only that they can
not win but that they must inevitably
be beaten. The German will to con-
quer has been broken; all that even
the most sanguine hope is that we
may grant them terms that will not
involve complete and abject surren-
der. Our prestige and our moral pow
er have crossed the Rhine Germany
is in retreat.
The true significance of the situa-
tion is shown in the change in mill
tary Leadership. On March 21 Hin
denburg and Ludendorff, the advan-
cists, were in charge Now special
ist in the science of retreat, Gen. Hans
Won Loehn, has been called in to take
command of the German armies on the
Somme front. The selection of tis
distinguished retreatist to head these
armies speaks whole volumes. II
shows that Germany is now on the de-
fensive and that the best her military
authorities expect is to avoid imme
diate disaster. Germany is in retreat

OF these cereals our shipments of
the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year
1917-18 to Allied destinations were
Wheat 131, 100000 bushels and Of rye
13, 3,9O0,O 900 bushels, a total Of IA 4,9OO,-
COO bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1861 were
Wheat 35,10O,000 bushels and rye
100000 bushels, a total Of 137, 400, 900
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels Of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest of
wheat will be therefore, about 141, ,000,-
900 bushels, or total Of 154, 100000
bushels Of prime breadstuffs. In ad-
dition to this we have shipped some
10000, 600 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
This accomplishment Of our people
In this matter stands out even more
clearly if we bear in mind that we had
available in the fiscal year 1861
| from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200. 900 900 bushels Of wheat which We
were able to export that year without
: trenching on our home loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. "This last year, however,
II owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
earry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent ap-
proximately savings from our own
: wheat bread.
"These figures, however, do not fully
: convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort of our agri-
cultural population in planting a much
increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there a very large failure in wheat,
put also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and our corn is our dominant crop
Il am sure," Mr.. Hoover wrote in
concluding his report, that all the
millions OF our people, agricultural as
we'll as urban. who have contributed
to these results should feel a yery
definite satisfaction that in a year OF
universal food shortages in the north.
ern hemisphere all of those people
joined together against Germany have
come through into sight of the comins

strength fully maintained. but with
only temporary periods Of hardship.

OUR SAVED FOOD

Food Administrator Writes Pr11f
dent America Conserved 14l,-
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by
e44,6O0,00o Pounds.

Conservation measures applied oy
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas 14A,-
600, 1000 bushels of wheat and $4,000
600 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at $1,400, 1000, 600.
This was accomplished in the face OF
serious food shortage in this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up of the millions of bushels Of wheat
meat during 1918.
The total value of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to $1,4OO OOO,O 900, all this food being
bought through or In collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for tho
harvest year that closed June 30, 1918.
The shipments Of meats and fats
(including meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied des-
:, tinations were as follows:
