FOUND ESCAPING
Permanent Occupation of
Trenches Formerly Held
by Germans Reported
tRy Associated Press.)

With the American Army ir
France, Wednesday, March 1S.-Ac'
tive artillery firing continues on the
American sectors northwest Of Tou
and east of Luneville. A consider
able number of gas shells have been
falling internationally on the Tou
front.
An enemy patrol was discovered
this morning in the American wire
entanglements northwest OF Toul
The Germans were driven off with
rifle fire and a numbeE of them were
hit One body was left hanging IN
the wire.
American snipers ave been very
busy on both sectors. East of Lune-
vile six enemy snipers were silenced
by the Americans.
On the TouI front during last night
and today considerable talking, and
even singing, was heard within the
enemy lines. Several times the Ger
mans stuck their heads over the
parapets to see what the Americans
were doing. Each time bullet from
an American rifle went in the dtrec-
ton of the head. After several of
their number were hit, the Germans
stopped looking.
At one place last night an Ameri-
can sentry saw g. figure Sinking
through the darkness. The man
halted when challenged and was
found to be g. German prisoner who
had escaped and was trying to get
back to his own lines. The German
was turned over to the French
authorities.
The place where the German was
captured was not far from where an
American onepounder was busy fir
ing on a large nest Of enemy snipers,
who had been annoying our lines.
After several shots. the Germans
withdrew.
The American artillery in the Toul
sector again battered the German
lines and observation posts and
caused an explosion. probably of an
dump. Hundreds Of big
shells were sent into three new Ger
man trenches where weapons
resembling gas projectors had been
erected. ....
The visibility was poor today but
many airplanes were up.
It is believed certain that the Ger
mans have permanently abandoned
trenches to the northwest Of Badon-
villers, near Iuneville. The enemy
is now hurling quantities OF large
shells. some of twelve inches at our
positions there.
An Associated Press dispatch from
the American front in France, Thurs
day, reported that General Pershing's
men had made their first perman-
ent advance in occupying evacuated
trenches northeast Of Badonvillers
and consolidating them with their
own lines. German attempts to eject
the Americans were repulsed.

Further Limitation Of Its
Consumption in United
States Is Necessary
BOARDING HELD
GREATEST DANGER
Seriousness of Question
Not Minimized by Off
cials at Washington
fRv Aseoclated Pressl

Washington, March 16.-Further
| limitation Of wheat consumption in
| the United States is under consi-
deration by the food administration
I to make certain that the subnOrmaI
visible supply will tide over the
| American people and their allies un-
| til the next harvest.
Plans for accomplishing the addi-
tional savings are being worked out
| carefully and the only bar to sue
| cess feared by officials is the sense
Jess boarding which may be pTactie-
ed by unthinking and selfish peo-
pie.
Seriousness Indicated.
The seriousness Of the wheat sit
uatiOn was shown today by a de-
partment Of agriculture report on
the supply in country elevators and
mills, which was supplemented by a
frank admission at the food ad-
ministration that existing flour
stocks are only 30 per cent Of the
normal quantity needed until July 1.
Food administration officials thought
the departments estimate Of 1s0,-
100000 bushels Of wheat in eleva-
tors and on farms March ] was
optimistic and said their best in
formation was that 5000, 900 BUSH
eI was the greatest amount that
could be expected
Promise 10000, 900 to Allies.
The allies have been promised 60
100000 bushels of grain between
January / and July /. There is no
intention OF falling to carry out this
program which is regarded as the
most important duty now confront
ing the American people. Owing to
shortage of transportation the great
er part Of the export program re-
mains to be carried out and the
wheat must be obtained from the
scant supply in this country BY
curtailment Of individual consump-
tton. The only alternative TO failure
in the opinion of food administration
officials, is sacrifice by individuals.
Wheat Holdings Low.
Wheat holdings at country
mills and elevators on March /,
were estimated today by the de-
partment Of agriculture at 6S,-
$4,000 bushels. That is about
2O,000,000 bushels less than was
held March 1 last year and So
100000 bushels less than in 1916.
Statistics OF holdings by country
mills and elevators by states show
that in Kansas, Montana, Washing
ton and Oklahoma the supplies are
much lower than last year.
