bitter fruit, and the occasion was a
particularly uproarious night when
Don Esteban entertained a crowd of
his Castilian friends. Little Rosa was
awakened at late hour by the laugh

She was afraid, for there was some
thing strange about the voices, some

the child's experience. Creeping into

added nothing TO details of the army or
ganzation already made known from Par
is, however, Mr.. Baker said
The announcement is regarded as hav-
ing deep significance at the war depart
ment, mainly because it places the Amer
lean crmy in France on the same footing
as the French or British forces there.
Formation of the army is taken here
to mean that the Americanization of a
definite portion Of the front has been
completed Supply lines, railway bases,
storage facilities, debarkation ports and
the like, created and operated by Amer
leans, stand behind the first army. The
only statement of the location of this
American front given is that it is "south
of the Marne" Presumably this means
a part at least of the long line from st.
Mihiel to the Swiss border. where Amer
lean troops have been put in at intervals
during the last few months
The extent Of that front has not been
disclosed, nor has the definite strength
Of the army been given. The adviees in.
dieate that it comprises, however, five
full corps, which means Approximately
,250,000 men.

FRONTIER TRAFFIC
IN WHEAT TO STOP
Practice of Citizens Of Northern New
England States in Buying in
Canada Is Illegal.

BURLINGTON, Aug. 14.-Investi-
cation conducted by inspectors from
the United States food administration s
Washington Office along the northern
part of Vermont, New Hampshire and
Maine has disclosed evidence to prove
that the residents of these portions
of New England have long been in the
habit of crossing the border line into
Canada and there purchasing wheat,
wheat products and sugar. The
wheat has been secured in large
quantities and without observance Of
the regulation which calls for the pur-
chase of as much substitute as of lots
of upward of five pounds
Such purchases are now declared
to be illegal and announcement is made
to Vermonters that prosecution to the
limit of the law will be unhesitatingly
waged against every known violator.
The only way by which wheat or its
products or sugar can be secured in
any great quantity from Canada is bv
the granting of an individual license
form the office of the war trade board
at Washington. From Aug. |, this
board has declared all general licenses
for the importation of wheat, wheat
products or sugar void.
Some time ago it was reported from
the Vermont food administrator to
headquarters in Washington that flonr
was being brought over from Canada
into Vermont. Inspectors verified this
report, and after a consultation with
Canadian food officials in the United
G+p4.
the Canadian government had issued
an order forbidding the sale of flour
to United States citizens. After this
order the importations dropped consid-
erably. but still continued ON a scale
that demanded attention.
The United States custom officials
from the three states now furnish a
weekly report to the United States
food administration at Washington
and to the respective states. which
shows the importers of Canadian flour
and sugar
Canada has been making heavy ex-
portations of flour to the allies and
thousands of barrels pass through
Vermont on the way to the seaboard
The flour is purchased through the
wheat. Export company of Canada
and large part of it comes from the
Western states as well as from the Do
minion. Flour that has been bought
in Canada by citizens of the United
States has diminished the common stock
for overseas shipment.
Now that definite action has been
decided upon By the government it
will not be necessary to resort IN av
hortation and patriotic appeal 1t puts
all three states on an equal basis and
the residents thereof.
