Profiteers during the past year
have killed the goose which laid
the golden egg. A lost appetite
for potatoes on the part of the
American public has Uncle Sam
"stumped" Profiteers last year
caused the people TO change their
rations Now the food administra
ton, with a tremendous food prob
lem on hand, is holding the bag.
With the greatest potato crop in
history last year profiteers boosted
the price beyond all reason. The
result was that potatoes were driv-
en- off the American table. An APP
petite for substitutes was created.
Now potatoes are dropping stead =
lily in price, but they will not sell.
The federal food administration
is bending every effort to re-create
the lost appetite. The eating OF
more potatoes means the consump-
ton of less wheat-the precious
grain which must be seEt abroad.
1t means. too, that the potato pro-
ducers, with a surplus of about 50,
900. 900 bushels which must be mar
,
| than ever known-must get them
off their hands or let them rot AMI
take big losses.
Most of this great surplus is still
on American farms and are in adj
dition to potatoes held in ware
houses by dealers. To bring them
off the farms to the big cities will
require about 10000 fire .ght cars.
With the knowledge that the pO
tato surplus may be converted any
day into a potato crisis by a fail
ure of car service, the food admin
istration announced yesterday that
an agreement has been entered into
with the railroad administration II
furnish a specific number of cars
each month TO July | for the eX-
elusive handling of potatoes. The
request made for middle west ana

front line trenches everywhere
Good defensive tactics usually aim
at organizing resistance SO that the
further the enemy advances the
stronger Will be the opposition he
meets.
Taking the situation as a whole.
the British are well satisfied with
the results of the first stage of the
hghting. They undoubtedly lost
several ruined villages and the
Germans probably will make much
of their capture. but the defenders
have held on amazingly well and
worked terrible slaughter among
the attackers.
The fighting today was greatest
in intensity on two sectors-one
northwest of Cambria and the 9TH
er southwest The fighting on the
northern front was about Bulle-
court while Hargicourt is the
southern center. A bright sun came
out at midday and airmen were
most active, the British aviators
flying at very low attitudes and us
ing their machine guns against the
opposing infantry
Guns Belched Hate.
Before they attacked TODAY on
the sector between the canal Du
NOrd and Croisilles. on the north
ern battle front. the Germans for
four hours smOthered the British
with every conceivable form of hate
which a gun could throw The en-
envy depended largely upon large
numbers OF trench mortars to cut
the wire entanglements. The Brit
ish had had warnings that the Ger
mans would use great quantities of
gas shells. This proved to be true.
although there was nothing new in
the type of gas and the British gas
masks appear to have been most
effective.
The British Tommies and their
officers fought for hours with their
gas masks on but even this draw
back could not dampen their jubi-
latiOn at the havoc they caused as
the German infantry presented it
self in the form of point blank tar
gets.
q Germans Moved Down.
Nine German divisions negotiated
the assault in this section but they
met with strenuous resistance.
British machine gunners did terri
bic execution as the Germans NOV
ed forward. AS on Thursday the
Germans TODAY depended on ire
mendous artillery bombardments
and massed attacks with great
numbers of troops to achieve re-
suits. At least forty German d.
visions have been identified and the
German artillery concentration is
the greatest that has been seen on
the west.
! It is reported that in one section
I the Germans came across No Mans
Land in regular formation and gaps
in the ranks were quickly filled in
to present a solid front The Ger
mans are said to have been stopped
when they reached the barbed wire
and to have cut it by hand under
a heavy fire from rifles. machine
guns and artillery However, the
report is not verified but it is GER
tain that the Germans advanced in
more dense formations than ever
before and naturally suffered grew
iOus casualties.
