We want to send wheat to Europe
because you can make bread of wheat,
and you can't make bread out of rice
and oats and corn. And nobody
bakes domestic bread in Europe and
you will find that there are no indi-

GERMANS STAY READY
FOR ALLIED At ACKs

FRENCH FRONT, March 22.-How
the Germans prepare to resist an as
sault by the Allied troops, who con-
tinually harry them along the entire
front, is disclosed in document which
has just fallen into the hands of the
French. This paper points out that
Il is necessary to be prepared for ev-
cry eventuality and to establish in adj
vance ample dumps of ammunition for
several days fighting for the field and
position guns as we'll as for trench
mortars, since it must be expected
that the Allies will, in case the opera
ton should be on big scale, employ
poison gas in large quantities and at
the same time put up a barrage fire
between the German front and their
communications with the rear.
The essential reserve of ammunl-
ton for the trench mortars is laid
down at $50 projectiles for each light
mortar; so projectiles for each trench
mortar of middling calibre and 40 pro-
jectiles for each heavy mortar. The
mortar emplacements should be sur
rounded by barbed wire entangle-
ments and the gunners should be pro-
v;ded with a plentiful supply of hand
grenades for use in the case the AL
lied troops should storm the positions.
AS to the field and position artiIl-
lery, each battery should have on hand
sufficient ordinary ammunition to last
three days and a half and also have
ready use a supply of poison-gas
shells.
Great stress Is laid on the value of
maintaining communications between
the infantry engaged and the staff in
the rear Each regiment is ordered
t. appoint an officer responsible for
this service, whose duty shall be to
reconnoitre the line occupied by his
regiment and send frequent reports as
to the situation even when no change
has occurred.
The document recalls that the
French airplanes accompanying the
assaulting infantry during the last
battles around Verdun caused great
disturbance to the Germans 1t as
serts that the effective results obtain
by these aviators were very limited.
but that the morale of the German
troops was considerably upset by
them. 1t recommends the placing of
special machine gun groups in the
rear of the front lines to deal with
such attacks by enemy airplanes.

SHIPPING OF WHEAT
TO ALLIES EXPLAINED

ATLANTA, Ga, March q. - No
question is more frequently asked the
Federal Food Administrator for Geor-
ola. and all the other states in fact,
than why we send wheat to Europe
and stint our own people The first
answer is that we sent wheat to fur
nisb a foundation for the mixed cereal
bread that the Allies have eaten for
three years and a half, and not to sup
NV them with straight wheat bread.
We are now eating victory bread,
bread that calls for only 20 per cent
wheat substitutes, while Europe since
the outbreak of the war has eaten
;, war gread which contains 25 to so
ner cent substitute. They are asking
rs for wheat enough to make this war
bread
Wheat flour is the only known foun-
dation for a bakery loaf. Corn meal
and buckwheat can be used in making
cornbread and batter cakes but these
breads cannot be looked on as bakery
products as they will not stand "a
hours handling between the oven and
the table. American women who do
their own baking can make good use

boys will not be taken from their own
farms unless they can be spared, but
through their registration they will
be entitled to wear the bronze badge

boys will be held in reserve to go up
on the farms whenever and wherever
they may be needed The city boys
and those others lacking experience
in farm work will have the rough
edges of their ignorance smoothed
off through courses OF study In the
uses of farm machinery, harnessing

country life. These courses will be
arranged for Denver. Coloado
Springs, Pueblo and other cities.
Mr.. Jaffa, through proper commit
tees, will name director for each

Of enrolling the boys. Later he will
earn the needs for farm help through
the farm labor chairman OF each
ounty Council Of Defense. He will
chen apportion the boys OF his own
county, filling in the gaps with COM
petent boys from the cities and towns.
The main idea at present is to get
complete registration Of the boys In
Colorado who can and will give their
time and vacations to work on the
farms in return for which they will
be fairly remunerated.
