WHEAT SHORTAGE
CAUSES FOOD CUT
IN FRENCH ARMY

Washington, March 27.~Informa-
ton that the bread ration of the
French soldiers, who are facing the
onslaught of Germany's armies, has
been cut because of the shortage of
wheat has led the food administration
to plan drastic measures to curb
boarding in this country.
Wherever there is evidence to sup
port a suspicion that the Withholding
Of food on which may depend the out
come of the war is due to disloyalty
or profteerng, it was said tonight,
prompt action will be taken.
Wheat for the allies becomes more
imperative as the season progresses,
because of the danger of loss in ship
ping corn or potatoes, after April l.,
when the period of termination sets
in. Up to March IS the United States
was 100000 tons behind in its pro-
gram of cereal exports. Much of the
program was to have been corn, but
the breakdawn in railroad transporta-
ton delayed shipment so that wheat,
which earlier in the year had been
given priority, had to be sent abroad
to avert famine.
AS only wheat and barley can be
shipped after April |, the public is
being asked to cut its consumption of
wheat to SO per cent of normal.
The March report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture showed lll,000,-
600 bushels of wheat on farms and
69,0OO,O0O bushels in elevators.

ind Point of Great Battle
Near at Hand; Await
Word From Pershing.

Washington, March H.-Belief that
the turning point of the battle in
France is near at hand pervaded
Washington today, and American
military observers, who are closely
following developments in the terrific
struggle, centered their attention on
the front held by the French in antici-
patton of a powerful: counter-thrust.
War department officials today also
awaited confirmation from General
Pershing of British official statements
that American troops were fighting
side by side with the French and
British. Nothing to show American
participation reached the War depart
mcnt last night and General Per-
shing's reports offered only details
of the fighting in the region of Nesle
and Noyon, previously reported in
dispatches to the Associated Press.
Until official word from General
Pershing is received none will make
a guess on the part the Americans
are playing.

ATTACKS MAKE NO PROGRESS.
The enemy, says the correspondent,
attacked at various points today, but
from all reports these efforts made no
progress. i
British airmen report the whole of
the enemy front areas to be black
with troops.
BRITISH COUNTER ATTACK.
London, March 27.-Fhe British
forces are not only offering strong re-
sistance to heavy attacks both north
and south of the river Somme, but
have carried out numerous counter at
tacks during the day, resulting in' the
regaining of ground and the driving
back Of the Germans at VARIOUS points.
The report from Field Marshal Haig
tonight declares that in these opera
tons heavy casualties have been in
flieted 5on the enemy =
Germans Reinforced.
British Army Headquarters, in
France, March >27.-Fresh enemy
forces were flung into the southern
phase of the offensive late yesterday.
b, These reinforcements, including the
famous Prrssian guards, were sent
forward in dense waYe against the
allied defenders. The latest reports
merely chronicle a most sanguinary
struggle without indicating any
change in the situation.
At the latest reports the Germans
bad made no further attack against
Bray. North of Albert, however, they
attacked i'll considerable strength to-
ward Ayeluy wood. The assault
broke against the British line and re-
> coiled. North of this point the situa-
ton is unchanged.
Repulse Enemy at Albert.
Heavy fighting occurred late yester-
day, Just north of Albert, about
Meaulte., At the, same time the Brit
ish drove off an attack north of Al
bert, at Auchonvillers.
The enemy's gains further north
have been large, but the elasticity of
the defending line thus far has de-
feated his intention of breaking
through here and dividing the British
forces. 1t is probably this elasticity
has resulted in the development of the
vicious drive which the enemy is now
making to the south.
British Make Gallant Stand.
The resistance which has been Of
tered by the allied troops to the Ger
man advance constitutes one of the
finest pages in the annals of the war.
The gallant sacriSces which those
hardy warriors made in covering the
withdrawal and-sdelaying the German
sweep forward undoubtedly will have
an important effect, on the final out
come, of this greatest of all battles.
The appalling slaughter of the at
Sacking masses has continued since
.he first day. All the prisoners have
much the same story to tell of the
great losses suffered. Undoubtedly,
the Germans expected some such re-
suit and it is probable all their cards
have not yet been played.
