Washington, July 3l.-General
March, in conference with correspon-
dents today, said the sole object OF
the Allies and the Germans now is to
kill as many men as possible, and that,
whatever objective either side had at
the beginning of the struggle had been
submerged by the developments Of the
fighting. He said the saint had
ben flattened, virtually dissipating any
hopes of bagging any large number
of Germans. The maximum German
retreat in the center was about four
teen miles. Their retirement has re-
duced the length of the line in that
sector to 54 miles.
The Rainbow division participated
in the fighting east Of Fere en- Tar
denois and the Third regular division
was among the troops which defeated
the crack Prussian Guard.

Providing the interest shown at last

to Judge the enthusiasm Of local grain
growers for grain growers associa-
ton, Imperial Valley will have a
strong organization perfected within
few weeks.
B. d. Irvine, E. V. Edwards and
James T. Albert, all prominent grain

tend a conference with the State Food

Last nights meeting Of the Farm

Dr.. w. H. Parker, president Of the

Jest of Grain Growers Associations"
These associations have already prov
en- great successes in other counties
and have very materially assisted the
Food Administration in obtaining ac-
curate reports of grain and feed on
hand Such an association here would
be of great benefit to the county, as
it would promote larger and better
production as we'll as lessen the cost
Of selling and would at the same time
eliminate the middleman.
A direct benefit would also accrue
to the stockmen of the county.
