 General FOch, the great French strategist, to whom has been attrib- uted pluch of the credit for the vict- orv or the Marne in September, 1914, is ben ghailed as the generalissomo of the entente allied forces in France. The basis of this report comes in an unofficial dispatch fom London, but a message of congratulations sent to General Foch by President Wilson on Friday apparently indicates that the forces of the entente are fighting un- der co-ordinated control for the first time during the war.
 After eight days, during which it has swept forward over the holling hills of Picady at times like tidal wave. the German offensive has slow ed down. Instead of a sweeping ad- vance. it's progress has been checked at all but one sector of the front, and there it has been merely creeping for the last two days. This fast is even admitted by the German war of flee. which usually comedies nothing.

From Albert South south, to Montiddier, there has been a slow movement to the west, but the hills west of Monrdidier are still being held by the French.
 No ground has been made against the French along the southern side of the salinent driven into the allied lines. while it is. asserted that the French counter attack from Lassigny to Noyon. is still going on. The greatest depth of the German wedge now is about Y miles.

When this blow. if it comes, will fall. or where, is as yet sealed in the minds of the men directing the progress of mili- tary afais for the allies. but seeming ly it must come soon, if it is to be ef- fective.

HOTELS QUICK TO RtSPONEO 70
 H0OVfR'S PLEA Wheat and Wheat Products Eliminated From Hun dreds of Bills of Fare. WHEAT SITUATION
 IS MORE SERIOUS Food Administrator Sh0Wsth United States Is Only Source of Supply
 For Allies For at Least
 Two Months.

Washington, March 29.-Wheat and wheat products were wiped off the menus of several hundred of the coun- try's leadin~ hotels today in response to request of the food administration that every independent, every well-to- do person in the United States should pledge complete abstinence from wheat until the next harvest, in order to supply the imperative need of the allies.
 Hotel managers who had come from every state to hear new conservation regulations explained were told by Food Administrator Hoover that the need for wheat was even greater now than when the new regulations were promulgated; that census of sup plies revealed that the harvest has been less than estimated, and that shippnd diffulcties made it impera time to feed the allies from here in stead of from Argentina. It is im- possible to ship corn, owing to loss from germination, so that wheat must be Americas chief contribution to the rations of the peoples abroad. MT. Hoover made it clear that success in rationing the allies could not be achiev ed other than by sacrifice in the Unit ed States.
 "Our wheat situation today is the most serious situation in the food sup ply of the whole world,' he begun, speaking with evident feeling. "We have had stock taking in the early days of March" he continued, "and we find that our harvest was 'ess tho was estimated. There is also another and wore bitter difficulty in the delays of shipping in the growingg scarcity ships that have thrown greater bur- den upon the American people in food ing the allies than we had anticipated. We had all expected that the Argen- tine supply would be available in Europe before this time. Those sup plies will not arrive for another month in quantity, and even then will be less than we had expected. The consequen ce is that the supply of breadstuffs in Europe is at it's lowest ebb. There is but one source of supply. and that is the United States"
