PINTO BEANS MUST BE
SOLD BY FARMERS

The ranchers Of Fremont county
will have to dispose Of their pinto
beans this year as best they can, as
tho foye nment will not contract for
them as 1t did last year, according
10 bull etin just issued by the United
States food administration. The bull
letin says:
MANY growers OF pinto beans are
under the impression that the food
admin stration will handle the 1918
crop of nintos as they did the 1917
erop. This Impression is wrong.
The United States food administra-
ton WI not handle the 1918 crop Of
pintos. No CONTRACTS for any part
Of this years crop have been made.
No price has been guaranteed"
II is up to the growers and the ship
pers Of pinto beans to market the 1918
crop. This will be big task and re-
quires the best CO operation of all in
tc-ested in the pinto bean industry.
The pinto bean received great
boost last season. II was introduced
into many new markets throughout
the North and East The pinto bean
has proved satisfactory wherever It
has been tried. Consumers who used
the pinto bean for the first time were
p'eased. Much praise has been given
the fine eating qualities OF the pinto.

The withdrawal of the British

CANADIANS USE GAS.
Greatest Effort Of Kind During War

Canadian Headquarters in France
Thursday, March 21 (By Canadian
Press) While German and British
troops were struggling violently to
the south, i'm the opening clash Of the
spring campaign. the greatest pro-
Jector gas bombardment Of the war
was carried out by the Canadians to-
night against enemy positions be-
tween Lens and Hill 20.
AT IL o'clock a signal rocket was
sent up. A moment later more than
5000 drums of lethal gas simultane-
ously released from projectors were

1t now has been definitely ascer-
tanned that considerably more than Il
million Germans have been brought to
the Western front in an endeavor to
crush The British army holding the
/ line from the region of Arras to the
south of st. Quentin, but it daily be-
comes increasingly evident that his
drive has met with opposition not
counted upon and that he has been
unable to realize to the full his objec-
tives. In addition to Chauny the Ger
mans arc claiming the capture of
both rcronne and Ham, and to have
increased the number of prisoners TAX
ELI to more than 10000, i'm addition to
900 guns and large stores of war ma :
terials.
1t is claimed also by the Germans
that American and French regiments
which were~brought up to reinforce
the British have been defeated.
In their retirement. according to
Berlin, the British are burning towns
and villages behind them. This sthte
ment. however, seemingly is capable
OF being received with reserve.
One of the mysteries Of the often
sivc which now has been solved is
that the shelling of Paris is being
done by long range German gun.
This statement is contained i'm the
Berlin official communication and "a

about rs miles from the center Of
Paris.
Already the spirit of boastins
which pcrvades the German army in
times of success is being strongly
manifested Field Marshal Won Hind
enburg has complimented the German
emperor on the initial success and
the latest German official communi-
cation is loud i'm its plaudits of the
German troops, declaring that the

not have been exceeded"

fighting activity continues compact

Americans on their sector, especially
northwest of Toul, are daily Keeping
up their practice with visibly good
results.
In the Italian theater the snow on

MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN AUSTRIA COMING.
IRepublican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, April 27-The pos sibility of a ministerial crisis in Aus tria is related in an official dispatch from France today which says:
 "The firmest supporters of the gov ernment which till now were the Christian socialists and the union of German parties seems to have been changed and they appear too wise to pass over to the opposition. The Christian socialists are irritated by the measures taken by the Seydler cabinet in what, concerns food supplies. They condemn the acquisitions proposed to be made among the peasants and they declare that the food policy of von Seydlef is both insufficient and tact less. The president of the council should have. in their opinion, obtained from Hungary larger concessions.
 Tt is considered certain all the slay parties will remain with the opposi- tiop. The government had no longer a single partisan in parliament. The whole question is to know whether il will resign or whether it will obtain from the emperor the dissolution of the chamber
 ''On the other hand g telegram from Sezurich says that, according to in formation received from Vienna through the Lokal Anzeiger, the Seyd- Ter cabinet appears to have decided tG resign as a body. The question is whether the emperor will accept the resignation"

MYSTERIOUS WOMAN CAUGHT IN NET OF
 NATION AS HUN SPY
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

NEW YORK, April 27.-Madame Marie K. de Victoria, believed by of ficers of the department of justice to be one of the most active of Germany's agents in this country for the last fif- teen months, was arrested at a fash ionable Long Island hotel today and brought to this city as a dangerous enemy alien.
 Madame De Victoria was in highly nervous condition and was sent to the prison ward at Bellevue hospital. Mar garet Sullivan, her maid, was held as material witness.
 Comes From Norway
 Madame De Victoria, who also has been known as Madame De Vussiere, is said to have come to the United States, through Norway, as a passenger on the steamship Bergensfjord.
 She is 33 years old and a handsome woman of the German type. She ex- plained her presence in this country by saying she came here to look for her husband
 Federal authorities believe her real mission in the United States was to spread German propaganda among the Irish. She is reported to have been | the chief aide to a lieutenant com mander of the German navy who reached here in December. 1916, and who has been working among the Sim Fein sympathizers, trying to get them to enlist in the British navy in order to plant bombs on warships.
 Naval Officer Vanishes The naval officer disappeared a few | days ago when he discovered that the department of justice agents were l trailing him.
 Madame De Victoria is said to have been acquainted with Madame Char l lotte sEliza beth Nix, who is awaiting deportation because of her alleged pro- German activities; and with Madame l Despina DavidoVitch Storch, the young Turkish woman who, arrested witt Madame Nix, died later at Ellis Island 1 Madame De Victoria is quoted as de- ! scribing Madame Nix as a persona 1 friend of the kaiser.

MEXICAN FEDERALS
 WITHOUT FOOD RAID
 ON AMERICAN RANCH
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

MARTA, Texas. April 27.-MeXican federal troops continued to arrive in the Ojinaga district, opposite the Big Bend today, reports to military head quarters here showed. Four regiments of federal infantry arrived at San An tonic Viejo, near the American border. A cavalry force in command of General Pablo Gonzales reached Ojinaga Op- pesite Presidie, Texas, late yesterday and General Gonzales has assumed command of the Ojinaga district. He is not the same General Pablo Gonzales who has been active in southern Mex ico. Federal troops from the Casas Grandes district of Western Chihuahua were also reported today to be moving into the district opposite the Big Bend and forces from JuareZ are known to have been ordered east toward Ojinaga.
 All of these troops are practically without food supplies and there is much suffering reported among the soldiers and their women camp follow CTS. The troops arriving in San An tonic Viejo were reported to be in a starving condition. A federal con- mander opposite La Jitas. Texas, sent a message to the American authorities in La Jitas that unless food was per- mitted to be crossed to feed the sol diers, he feared his men would raid across the border to set it.
 Raid American Ranch
 Five beef cattle were killed on the White ranch. near the border, last night and the carcases dragged to Mexico to be used for food. Reports received here from scouts indicated this raid was made by Mexican fedora troops. A horse equipped with a fed . ! eral saddle with a saber, a carbine and ammunition of the kind used by the Mexican cavalry, was found today on the Everett ranch. This ranch was raided Thursday night. The horse was | identified as one taken from the White ranch which was raided last Sunday and again last night
 All military patrols and outposts 1 have again been strengthened along l the Americ2n river front to prevent l further raids by these irresponsible raiding parties from the Mexican side
