AMERICANS HOLD EIGHT MILES
In Full Control of Trenches in Toul
Sector.

In Full Control Of Trenches in Toul
Sector.
Washington, March z. American
troops are now holding something over
eight miles of trenches on the battle
front in France, it was learned today,
altho in an air line their frontage is
only about four and a half miles. This
frontage is liable to extension at any
an army corps.
Irregularity Of the trench lines is
responsible for their eight miles of
length. They are laid out so that flank
ing fire may be obtained along every
part of the front.
Follows Terrain.
Strong points containing machine
guns jut out for this purpose. The
trenches also follow closely any pro-
tective slope of the country and wan
der up and down hill.
The American sector is understood
to be a divisional frontage, which
means that at least three divisions of
American troops are there to give the
necessary support in depth for the
front lines. =
This fact has aroused speculation
here as to who will be selected by Cen
eral Pershing to command the first
corps of his army Maj. Gen. Hunter
Liggett is known to have acted in that
capacity, but as yet the expeditionary
commander has not made any recon-
mendation.
May Use French System.
It is possible that the French system
will be followed in the American army
so far as the appointment of corps
commanders goes. 1t is the custom in
France to select any one of the divi-
sion commanders in a corps and to
place him at the head Of the corps. He
retains his rank as division commander
and in the case of the American army
that would be a major general. If the
French practice is adopted, therefore.
the grade of lieutenant general may be
employed only for field army COM

AMPLE SEED WHEAT.
There Will Be No Scarcity or Famine
Prices.

Prices.
Minneapolis, March T. Northwest
farmers will get all the seed wheat
they need and there will be no famine
prices, Frank L. Carey, head Of the
Minneapolis Office of the Food Admin
istration Grain corporation, said today.
The government already has shipped
out 200 cars Of seed wheat from Min
neapolis to Iowa, Michigan and Ne
braska, and has between 100000 and
6oO, 900 bushels of seed wheat in reserve
in North Dakota and South Dakota
country elevators, Mr.. Carey made
known, and will see that it gets to far
mers who need it at a price to exceed
only slightly the fixed price for wheat
on a commercial basis.
Today's announcement by Mr.. Carey
says that recleaned marquis spring
wheat for seed will be sold by the gov
eminent at $3.50 a bushel f. o. b. Min
neapolis. That selected seed wheat OF
special varieties may be sold thru other
sources as high as SO or more bushe'
is probable, Mr.. Carey said, but the
basis of provision for the country as q
whole, that there shall be no localit!
unable to obtain sufficient seed, Is on
the $3.50 level.
