Assault on Americans
In st. Mihiel Sector
Is Believed Likely
BY TIE Associated Press.

= 0y s1S Hs~SSAotSo ASes.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Friday, June 7.-Reports of
recent heavy German train movements
from the direction Of Metz toward the
st. Mihiel salient has aroused discus
sion in the American expeditionary
forces as to whether the enemy is
planning an assault in the Woevre.
From tactical point Of view the
neighborhood Of st. Mihiel, with its
sharp salient, offers q logical place for
. German attack. A drive through st.
Mihiel to tho southwest, It Is consid-
cred, might have . triple objective
the menacing Of Barle-Duc, the out
fanking Of Verdun from the rear and
/. the elimination Of the salient which
has its apex at Verdun.
Where Germans May Strike.
e For the moment at least, perhaps
the enemy at the Marine. Many en-
gagements of a tactical nature may
be expected. even IL the Germans de-
eide 1t is useless to continue their
efforts along the Marne and elect to
hit the allied line at other places.
Tho position of the railways and the
formation of the terrain northwest
and north of Barle-Duc offer the
Germans an opportunity. OF course.
what the future holds for the Amer
ican forces around st. Mihiel is not
known. but the salient there is being
discussed as a possibility not to be
lost sight of.
Another place which is likely to
sec more lighting is the sector
around Montdidier. where American

To Investigate Meats.

It was said at the food administra-
ton that this committee from now on
will be actively engaged in investi-
eating the meat situation here. and
it Is expected the first recommenda-
tion the committee will make will be
the quoting of prices on meats on
the weekly price list.
The weekly fair price list announc-
ed by the District food administra-
ton yesterday includes for the first
time barley flour and corn -four,
which are being used to great
extent as substitutes with wheat
flour in baking. These two substitutes
are listed this week at the same price
as is wheat flour. although it is prom
ised by the administrator that they
will be reduced within the next week
or more.

Potatoes 5 Cents Higher.

Despite the fact that the food ad-
ministration has been urging 1wider
use of potatoes as a conservation
measure, the price list this week
raises the maximum retail price 5
cents. This was necessary, it is ex-
planned. on account of the uncer-
tainty Of the market supply, and also
from the fact that new potatoes are
selling trifie higher generally
throughout the country.
The maximum price allowed for No.
l grade is 50 cents a peck and for
No grade the maximum price is 4s
cents. Dealers selling No. 2 grade
and charging the No. price. will be
considered as violators Of the fair
price rules and will be treated as
profiteers.
