The price Of wheat Is likely to be-
come very interesting subject judg-
ing from the communications that are
sent 10 congress. Senator Owen had
letter from oklahoma read to the
senate not long ago stating the posi-
ton of the wheat farmers and com
planning that the farmers who had
been able 10 hoard their wheat were
going to get better prices now than
those who sold some time ago. The
letter was couched IN homely phrase
and badly written, and seemed to fur
nish amusement 70 quite a number OF
senator's. but It conveyed just what
the farmer meant. The question nat
urally arises whether other farmers
are not thinking along the same lines.
and if they. too, feel that they are not
getting all they ought TO have on ac-
count of price fixing on their particu-
lar staple product.

IA
While no official announcement has
been made, the general impression
prevails that new plans of the Ameri-
can war department call for the dis
patch of American troops TO France
much more rapidly than was proposed
In the earlier plans. The indications
are that an effort will be made TO
bring the American expedtionary
force up to a strength of approximate
~ 100000 men by the middle of the
summer. instead OF 100000 men as
was contemplated by the original plans
of the war department. The dispatch
of many National army units is expect
ed soon. i'm accordance with the plan
that has been adopted of forming an
army corps out of two divisions of the
regular army. two divisions of the Ma
tiOnal Guard and two divisions of the
National Hrmv As many units of the
National Guard are already overseas,
with the larger number of regular army
divisions, it is expected that the move
ment of several divisions of the Ma
tional army will follow soon.
That the movement of troops will
be more rapid than was ut first be-
ieved possible is indicated by the an
nOuncement of the war department
that the second draft. which will be
made as soon as needed legislation
can be secured from congress. will call
out Approximately 100000 men. Only
the rapid movement of many divisions
now in environments in this country
could make room for this large num-
her of new draft men. In this cOnnec-
tion it is predicted abroad that Gen
eral PerShinC'S men will be holding
100 miles of front by the closing days
of 1918. a longer front than was held
by the British armies two years after
the war began

Americans at home continue to be
electrified by reports OF the exploits
Of PerShing'S troops in the sectors
which are now held by the Americans.
Successful raids have been made re-
peatedIy by the American troops while
the American artillery he's won many
duels with the big guns of the enemy.
One raid on the new United States
front In Lorraine was declared to be
the most successful encounter In which
American soldiers have engaged dur
ing the war. In This raid. infantry
units penetrated the enemy lines to
denth of between 400 and 600 yards at
some points The raid followed hom-
hardment by American guns which
lasted four hours and which wrecked
the enemy'S front trenches and barbed
wire acknowledgements. Three successive
raids at different points on this sector
all proved highly successful, the Amer
leans capturing a number of prisoners
and returning TO their own trenches
with small casualties. In raid on
penetrated the German trenches to
depth of 200 yards. After some hand
to-hand fighting In which number of
the enemy were killed and wounded,
the raiders returned TO their lines with
much material and information, al
though they captured no prisoners. II
was reported that every American who
left the front line on this raid re-
turned.
The American troops in the Toul
sector have been subjected to terrific
artillery fire, the German apparently
having concentrated strong forces of
artillery on this sector. 1t was re-
ported that in some places the bonn
hardment reduced the first line
trenches to ruins but the Americans
at those points continued TO hold their
positions In shell craters. The Ameri-
can artillery also has been active on
all sectors held by Pershing's men,
bombarding towns and roads in the
rear of the German lines.
III
The first permanent advance OF the
American troops was made on the
| LuneviIle sector where Pershing's men
occupied enemy trenches which they
had forced the Germans to abandon
through recent raids and heavy artil-
! lery fire. The trenches were consoli-
dated with our own, enabling the Amer
leans and French to operate from high
/ er ground than before. Attempts made
by the Germans to retake the position

I Not merely has the Dobrudja been tax
on from ROumania. but Berlin and Vi
emma, who have expressed themselves
piously as opposed to anneNations, are
now insisting upon a rectitication OF
frontier that will give to Austria all
the strategic mountain passes and
dominating heights, including the Iron
Gates of the Danube, along the west
ern frontier of Roumania.
This is precisely what Austria did
to Italy when the boundary line was
delimited by treaty, and the fact that
Austria controlled every vantage point
along the Isonzo and in the Alps when
the war began UNNECESSARILY added TO
the difficulties of Cadorua's campaign
ing.
Berlin is determined that Roumania
shall be placed in helpless position at
trian guns and rendered forever in
capable of acting otherwise than the
central powers approve.
Ia
Intense aerial activity on the part
of both the entente allies and the
Teutonic forces has developed. Sixty
German airplanes took part in raid
on Paris, which resulted in heavy cas-
ualties, final figures showing at least
100 persons to have been killed and
20 wounded. Among the dead was an
American woman. Miss Winga Caro-
lima Martin, who was a Y. NJ. c. A..
cantepn worker. Miss Martin was one
of six persons killed in hospital
which was struck by n bomb. among
those killed We're n large number Of
women and children who were crushed
TO death in a panic at the entrance
to a subway station where hundreds
sought refuge from the enemy bombs.
However. while the Huns were boast
ing of this most successful" raid, the
airmcn of the allies were not idle.
British aviatorS invaded Germany,
making daylight raid on COblentz,
one of the important railroad centerS
in western Germany. the seat of big
military barracks and extensive mu-
ulllbiiS WDTkS. y ION vi llSH tNbl'-
sives was dropped on the city, starting
fires i'm many sections. This was the
third daylight raid on the enemy coun-
try i'm period of four days.
Behind the lines in Flanders and
France the British aviators are also
maintaining the effective work they
have been doing lately. The territory
from Lille south to Camhrai has been
sown with bombs railroad sidlngs and
ammunition dumps in the region Of
Maubeuge. Valenciennes, Douai and
Cambria being attacked
The enemy is getting all the worst
of the air fighting. and his apparent
inability to check the British flyers or
to take the initiative himself in this
important sphere rather discounts his
loud boasts of readiness for great
offensive. 1t Is to he doubted If he
can venture any large-scale offensive
while the overhead fields of battles are
so thoroughly controlled by his OPP
pOnentS.

GERMANS LACK THINKING MEN
psspIte Advanced Age Of Many Prus-
elan Warriors They Have Little
i Comprehension Of Situation.

Germany in making call for men
up to forty-seven years Of age has ta-
ken advantage Of two more years
above the conscription maximum Of
f0rty-flve. Most individuals when they
approach the fftieth year have about
concluded their fighting days through
inability to keep down their girth
measure. But certain conditions In
Germany. over which that country has
had little control. have served, no
doubt, to keep the human form within
military bounds. Americans who go to
France. therefore, are likely to have
to fight babes In arms and aid gentle
men II the age limits are stretched
further under Prussian regulations, OBJ
berves the Detroit Free Press.
Perhaps, after all, this conscripting
Of men above forty-five will produce
some effect In the ranks that may be
useful toward letting light into dark
places. The army knows little of what
% going on In the world. II half Of the
seasoned soldiers really believe that
London Is In ruins and the German
heet is In control Of the sea, they may
learn something to their advantage by
consulting a few Of the old stagers who
Are compelled at this late date to join
The colors. Men born in 1870 ought to
be more difficult to deceive, and few
,f such scattered through the army
may serve to enlighten the fighting
multitude as to the error of their be-
def. 1t is presuming much to expect
results from this source, but If a man
lbove forty-five is good for anything
AZ trench fighter, he ought to be good
1t shooting of his mouth. And, after
al, what Germany lacks most Is more
men who will talk and think.
