Owing to- the armistice, no fighting
activities of any kind were in evi-
dence. But the troops were keen and
willing, and as they were reviewed by
the Queen they renewed their oath Of
allegiance with zeal and enthusiasm
that left no doubt as to their loyalty.
Nowhere did the army show any de-
sire for peace. The generals and
higher staff officers, in their talks
with the Queen, expressed the utmost
confidence in the ability of the army
to 20 on with the war, although more
than half million Russian troops
who had been on the Rumanian front,
had a short time before abandoned the
trenches.
The Queen returned to Jassy with a
feeling of confidence that peace would
be averted. She had received pledges
from every section Of the army and
the personal promises Of the com
manding generals that they would
fight to the end. But the day after
she reached Jassy she found tina
peace negotiations were already be
ginning at Bucharest.
Even while the peace negotiation
we're under way she did not despair
but continued to fight stubborn.

OUTLOOK FOR THE
CABBAGE AND ONION CROPS

A warning note comes from the U.
3. Department of Agriculture to the
effect that Southern growers should
consider the existence in the Northern
States Of large surplus cabbage and
onion crops, says the State Marketing
Bureau.
The cabbage crop in nine Northern
States in which last summer cabbage
is most extensively grown is reported
to be the largest since 1915. In New
York and Wisconsin, two States which
store cabbage on large scale, the
crop is estimated to exceed that of
1917 by % per cent, an estimated in.
crease OF approximately 10000 tons.
II the quantity of stored cabbage is in
direct proportion to the magnitude OF
the crop, the observers say, it is like
ly to be more abundant during the
spring OF 1919 than it was during
1918. A great deal of kraut has been
made, but most of the cabbage has
been carefully stored to be marketed
in accordance with demands.
Prices for cabbage last week ranged
from s16' ton in New York, 500 a
ton in Wisconsin to $2S in New Or
leans.
Reports from fourteen States where
onions are extensively grown, show
surplus of more than a million BUSH.
els or about 10 per cent more than IN
the fall of 1917. This increase with
the regular carry over for market In
the spring Of 1919 may meet demands.
Prices last week for onions ranged
from $1.30 per 100 pounds in New
York and Boston, with top price in
New Orleans at 50 a hundred.
It will be worth while for Florida
growers of these two staples to give
to existing conditions

GERMANS PLAN A CHECK.
Yankees Advance In Verdun Region.
Reach Objectfves In Record Time
in Attack on Edge of Argonne
Forest-Repulse Germans.

WITH the American Forces North
west of Verdun.-General Pershing's
troops attacked the German positions
on the left wing Of this front. The
Americans made progress to a point
corresponding with their advance the
day previous in the region of Cunel
Woods, on the right wing.
The presence of storm troops op-
posite the American center and the in
creased activity behind the German
lines lead to the belief that the enemy
is planning counter attacks.
The Americans achieved another
important though local success by
forcing the Germans out of Chatel
Chehery, northwest of Apremont.
Pushing forward, they overcame the
stubborn resistance Of the enemy and
settled themselves on the commanding
heights west Of the River Aire.
The attack which eliminated in the
capture of Chatel Chehery began by
the left and left\ center troops from
just north of Hill 223 to the western
edge Of the Argonne, where the French

infantry went forward at O'Clock,
the troops on the east crossing the
Aire.
A heavy mist afforded the men good
protection while it lasted. Beyond the
river the men were infiltrated through
the valley between Hill $50 and Hill
223. Thence they worked into the
wood beyond and attacked and carried
Hill $50 after hard fighting. The Ger
mans began the withdrawal of their
artillery when they saw the attack was
likely to prove successful.
The troops in the center Of the at
tack met the first obstacle 10 minutes
after starting, in the shape Of German
trenches. The Americans deluged
these with hand grenades, carrying
the positions They reached their first
objective in record time and entered
Chatel Chehary at s 40 o'clock with
only slight resistance.
An attack on Hill pa, where the
Germans occupied strong positions,
was begun at once, and there was des-
perate fighting as the Americans
stormed the heights.
