CALLS ON DOMINIONS
TO REPEL GERMANS

In a message addressed to the
Premiers of Canada and other
British Dominions and Colonies
Premier Lloyd George says:
I'VE have been inspired by con-
slant news of the dauntless cour-
age with which the Dominion
troops have withstOod desperate
assaults by vastly more numerous
German forces in the battle. The
empire has good reason to be
proud of all its sons. Our armies
cannot have too many of these
splendid men.
"As already announced. we pro-
pose to ask Parliament to author
ize the raising of fresh forces
here. ! would also urge the Do
minion Governments to reinforce
their heroic troops in the fullest
possible manner with the smallest
possible delay. The struggle is
only in its opening stages. and it
is our business to see that our
armies get the maximum measure
of support that we can give them.
Let no one think that what even
the ren.ctesi Doninions can do
now can be too late. Before this
campaign is finished the last man
may count"

HOUSE DEFEATS
WHEAT MEASURE
(By Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON. April 19.--As a re-
suit OF the houses action last night in
rejecting the senate amendment to the
agricultural appropriation bill. increas-
ing the governments guaranteed
wheat price to $3.50 a bushel, the
measure went back to conference to-
day with indications that the senate
may recede SO as not to delay the APP
propriations. The house defeated the
amendment by vote Of 167 to 9S.
A price of $500 a bushel was fixed
by President Wilson for the 1918 crop
In proclamation issued last February
but belief in the senate that this price
was too low was responsible for a
rider to the agricultural bill, provid
ing a new guaranteed price Of $3.50.
