IN WHEAT PRICE IS NOT
 PROBABLE
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, March 1S- Western senators renewed their fight for higher guaranteed wheat price today, citing the ability of the farm CTS to make more money growing other cereals, the shortage, and the increased cost of farm labor, and the vital necessity of insuring an ade- quate crop. The debate was on Sena- tor Cores proposal to increase the price of the 1918 crop to $25O a bushel A two-thirds majority is re- quired for action and the advocates of the bill are not hopeful of mus tering the votes when the test comes of tomorrow probably Senator Mel. son of Minnesota. admitted that wheat price fixing was an abject fail ure, and advocated an open market.

Think It Big Bluff

WASHINGTON, March lS.-Ger- many's threat of great spring offen, sive on the western front no longer impresses American military men.
 In its weekly review today, the war department records the conclusion that the enemy, in spite of his vast preparations, will not take the offen- sive unless forced into it. This con- firms the opinion many officers have expressed for weeks, in the face of official forecasts to the contrary from both sides of the Atlantic.
 While hostile preparations for an offensive in the west are not slacken- ing" the review says, it is becoming more evident that the enemy will launch the offensive only if com pelled to do so by the exigencies of the general strategic situation"
 The nature of the information upon which the opinion is based is not dis closed. It is noted that fresh Ger man divisions have arrived on the western front and the German lines are said to be approaching the point in density to which it will be impos- sible to add without choking com munication lines and hampering free moving of units. Apparently, how ever, this concentration has come to be regarded as defensive, not an offensive movement.
 Much of the statement is devoted to the activities of American troops now engaged on five separate fronts. one of the sectors lying close to the Swiss border. The official communi- que, however, adds nothing to re- gently published press reports of the raids and trench fighting in which the Americans have been involved.

SPY OPERATING IN AMERICAN ].
 LINES IN THE T0U[ SECTOR
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY | IN FRANCE, March lS-American intelligence officers reported evil dence leading to the conclusion that an enemy spy may be at work within the lines northwest of Foul. Eariy this morning an American sentry saw flashes of signal light from a win dow facing in the direction of the enemy lines He fired through the window and dashed into the house, but failed to find anyone.
 Four hours earlier important tele- phone wires within the American lines were found to have been cut An American patrol last night en- tered the enemy trenches at one end of the sector and penetrated them for some distance without difficulty. Much available information was gathered. As they were about to return, they established contact with the enemy, who opened fire with a machine gun. The Americans jumped to a safe position and hurled gren- ades at the enemy gunners, silencing the gun.
 Returning to the American side of No Mans Land, the Americans brought with them a German rife breech, protected by a metallic GOV ering over the muzzle and snap clip cover, both of which operate quickly and efficiently Officers de- clared 1t was the best thing of the kind they had ever seen for protect ing rifles. The mechanism was turned over to the intelligence department with a recommendation that the at tachment be furnished the American troops.
 Another patrol on the other end. of the sector reported that the en-, emy first line was held strongly. While the raiders were inspecting the German positions, the enemy fired upon them several times with rifles and machine guns, which are unusual at that point.

.Be1gians Arc .Again0n The
 Battle Front
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press-
 ON THE BRITISH FRONT IN FLANDERS, March lS-The i'm. portant coast sector of the western front which. for considerable time has been held by the French has been taken over by the Belgians.
 That King Albert's new army has been able to assume this additional burden speaks highly for the condi- ton of this comparatively small fight ing machine which has battled so valiantly from the beginning. On a recent visit to the Belgian front the correspondent learned that the Bel gians had effected a great improve ment in their organization during the winter months, and certainly the morale of troops and officers seems at the highest pitch.
 Lieut. Col. De Ceyninck, the min ister of war, informed the correspon- dent that it sometimes had been diff cult to restrain the Belgian soldiers until the proper moment for action. The war minister seemed to reflect the general voice of the army when he said:
 Whenever the call comes we shall be waiting to respond with every atom of strength we have"

BCRAH ON WAR AIMS

WASHINGTON, March lS- Speaking in the senate today on American war aims, Senator Borah of Idaho, emphasized the point that the United States is not engaged
 merely in war between nations, but that the conflict has at stake the principles of Republican form of gov ernment. The policies of Frederick the Great, and the policies of Wash. ington are contcnding for supremacy on the battle fronts of Europe he said. To fail to settle it finally and conclusively now is to fail to settle the sublimest duty that has fallen on our country. If we fail the world will become a military camp, he said.

BIG BOOZE BILL IS D|SA[LOWED
 BY COUNTY
SUPERVISORS REFUSE TO PAY THIEL DEFECTIVE AGENCY OVER S4,OO0 FOR ALLEGED SERVICES; AC- TON TO BE BROUGHT.

At yesterdays meeting of the board of supervisors the "bootlegger bill," presented by H. D. Dowell, rep resenting the Thiel Detective Agency of Los Angeles, for sum over S4,- 900, was flatly disallowed. The off cial action taken was based on grounds that the account was not authorized, although the claim bore the endorsement of County Attorney E. J. Mitchell and Sheriff J. F. Young.
 In refusing to meet this alleged obligation against Yavapai county, the board of supervisors maintain that the charges are not only exces- sive, but that there is no statute to warrant this claim being audited, consequently until Superior Court ae> ton is taken to compel payment, the Thiel agency must wait for its coin.
 This large sum demanded from this county grows out of Sheriff Young hiring last year, without au- luOIlll llOlll lhS super ;, SSNSi CT so-called detectives, numbering ap-: proximately ten, furnished by the Thiel agency of Los Angeles. for rum ming down bootleggers. These off, cers were hired without sanction or approval of the supervisors, and also without any per diem remuneration being stipulated. hence the disallow- ance of the bill, which 1t IS claimed, is exorbitant and illegal.
 The alleged services cover a per iod of several months last year in bringing in Thiel officers for hunting down bootleggers, all cases being covered in the demand made for pay ment of services alleged to have been rendered. It is understood that Mr. Dowell will take the matter before the Superior court at once.

By Associated Press.


 PARIS, March lS-Two very vio- lent explosions in a factory at La Courneuve, north of Paris, caused the deaths of l6 persons and the in- jury of a large number, mostly slightly, according to an official an- nouncement.

A large fleet of ambulances kept at the American hospital at Neuilly for emergency pur, poses started for the scene within a few minutes after the explosion with two men on each car Officers of the hospital staff supervised the removal of the injured.
 A number of wounded were carried to hospitals in motor trucks of the American army.
 Survivors declare the accident was due to a man dropping box of per cussion fuses which set of a box of grenades.
 Most of the workmen, realizing the danger, escaped with more or less se- were injuries.
 Nearly 1000 persons are shelterless as the result of damage to their homes. The American Red Cross, cooperating with the prefecture of the Seine and the local authorities, is providing for them.

 As the Allied world has day after day read the official reports from the war offices, hoping some inkling of the real situation would present it. self, the realization has come home that the American, French, British and Portuguese troops are maintain ing control over the front running from the North sea to Switzerland. Artillery fire is growing in intensity, but the Allies have held their own in raiding parties everywhere. In the enemy trenches the heavy guns are battering the American sectors, but American guns are replying with good effect Excellent weather for the past few days has given our airmen an opportunity to take pictures back of enemy lines.
