FARMERS FAIL TO ANSWER h0OVER'S APPEAL FOR WHEAT Mill Receipts Last Week Only 3,250,00 Against
 7,600,000 Normal.
MAY TAKE ACTION
 AGAINST PROFITEERS
Food Administration Appeals to All Patriotic Farmers to Market Wheat and Threatens
 PrO-Germans.

Washington, March 30.-The food administrators appeal to loyal Amer ican farmers to market their wheat now, while the greater difficulty is be- ing met in feeding the allies had only slight effect last week, when mill re- ceipts increased to 3,25O,OO0 bushels, as compared with 3,O00,000,000 bushels of the previous week. Normal re- ceipts are 7,600,000 bushels. Many millions of bushels, the administration said, still are in storage on the farms. Decision to requisition all wheat held bv German sympathizers, seeking to profiteer or to hamper the government has not been changed, administration officials said. They indicated, howev- r, that another week or ten days would be given loyal Americans to sell the grain, and that drastic action then would be considered to bring out what was left, if the emergency in the wheat supply continues as serious as at present.

Good M0ring! Did You Know You
 Lost an Hours Sleep Last Night
United States sps Hour as All Clocks of the Nation Are Moved Forward One Hour During Night to Speed War Work.

Washington, March 30.-Last night you lost an hours sleep, probably with out knowing it.
 While you slept clocks all over the city were moved forward one hour in conformity with the Daylight Saving law recently enacted by Congress. However, all will be compensated for that precious sixty minutes of con- tentment next October when all time pieces will be moved back an hour.
 Emulating a plan that has proved uniformly successful in Great Britain and continental Europe. the govern ment decided to adopt daylight sav- ing as a war conservation measure. One lost hour last night, has gained millions of daylight hours that will be of inestimable value in speeding up the war.
 Training of trops will be expedited. Men working nwar plants all this summer will complete an hours work before the sun gets high in the sky, and will finish their days work in time to have more daylight for recre- ation or home gardening. It is ex- pected that risk of accident in indus

Hun Prisoners
 Say Losses of Enemy Terrible
Report Teutons Strip All Dead to Obtain Clothes
 and Leather.

Washington, March 3O.--Regarding losses sustained by the Germans in the battle in Picardv, an official dispatch from France today says:
 "Altho our information is incom- plete, it is certain that German losses have been enormous. Prisoners ques- toned reported for example, that the S8th division of infantry was almost comnltely annihilated and the 206th division suffered heavily. The losses were chiefly thru machine guns, in stalled in shell holes, moving down dense enemy formations. Bodies of friends and enemies are stripped as soon as possible by the Germans, and left nude. The booty thus obtained by seizing clothing and equipment is col lected for use, so great is the scarcity of clothing and leather.
 Prisoners, when questioned. do not conceal amazement at the very small number of English and French dead that they passed. They admit the great surprise of their command in the resistance of the allied troops. They had been promised all would be over in few days"

tEial establishments will be reduced considerably because there will be one more light hour instead of dim one at the end of the day. Traffic and transportation will be helped because the late day cruch will come in full daylight instead of gathering twilight. A genaral improvement in health and social welfare of workers is fore cast. Also, it is claimed that last hour of sleep will be sounder and more beneficial because the sleeper will not be be exposed sEo ul 52 SAsu SA1ui 2 are of morning
 Proponents os the daylight saving plan believe the extra hour we'll may be devoted to home gardening, thus relieving the national demand.
 Professor T. N. Carver, of Harvard, told Congress committees that "an hours work day in >arden iwll pro- duce an amazing amount of food.
 "Unless something unforeseen hap pens," he said, "the world is going to experience the greatest food shortage in the next year that it has known since the Napoleopic wars. The chan

French troops are now meeting determined attack on 25 mile front, in what has developed into the most important battle since the start of the offensive ten days ago. Rolled at Arras, and finding themselves able to advance only step by step at great cost along the Somme towards Amiens the Germans Friday night turned southward and hurled masses upon the French in the Montidie salient. It is here, from Moreiuil 10 miles North west of MonGidier, cn curving line around the latter place, and eastward to beyond Lassigny, nearly 15 miles away that the battle was raging at last accounts. Violent assaults were delivered upon the French lines, which developed powerful resistance, and were further strengthened by arrival of reserves. The initial force of the impact, however, was sufficient to at and near the point of the salient pushing westward from the branch of the Avre, which runs in northwestern ly direction from Montdidier.
 Advance Three Miles Deep.
 The enemy forced his Way into sev- eral villages within a stretch of about five miles alonp the front. The ad- vance, as shown by location of vil- lages announced as captured, reach ed maximum of about three miles in this section. South of Montdider, the wedge also was further driven in about 10 miles. Fighting at this point around Avencourt, was still in pro- gress Saturday in heavy rain.
