HOT RECEPTION WILL BE GIVEN
THE ENEMY WHEN BATTLE
REALLY STARTS.
ALONG THE WESTERN FRONT
Teutons Do Not Like Vicious Hand.
to-Hand Fighting of Americans
Do-or-Die Methods of PERISH
ing's Men Show Bravery.

The continuation of the patrol at
tacks by the Germans all along the
western front in France and Bel
GUM indicates that their line having
been heavily reinforced, the day is
not far distant when the entente ar
mics and the American forces will
be asked to Withstand thrusts of a
more serious nature.
Give Enemy Warm Reception.
Gagged by the firmness of the Brit
ish, French and Americans in meet
ing the enemy assaults in the last
few weeks and the feeling of opti-
mism that prevails from headquarters
staffs to the men in the trenches a
warm reception may be expected by
the enemy when he launches his at
tack.
Everything in the way of modern
Warfare-even all the cunning devices
of "frightfulness" which the German
mind has invented, not emitting liq-
uid fire-has been tried against the
Americans, but nowhere has the en-
envy been able to dent the front held
by General Pershing's men.
Germans Avoid Close Fighting.
On the contrary, the Americans
have answered all the German Of
fensives with spirit of great bra
very, and, although they have suf-
fered some casualties, they have made
the enemy feel the effects of their
guns and rifle fire. 1t has been ap.
parent in all the affrays in No Mans
Land that the Germans do not like
hand-to-hand encounters with the
Americans and invariably give ground
in the face of their vicious do-or-die
attacks.
Expect Fighting in Italy.
AS in France and Belgium the ac-
tivity along the entire fighting front
in northern Italy is heightening.
and here also the patrol engagements
and artillery duels seemingly signal
ize the approach of bitter fighting.
Doubtless with the spring thaw the
enemy will endeavor to force his way
from the mountain regions out on the
plains of Venetia and also to cross
the Piave river and form a junction
with his northern armies. Here, how
ever, the Italians having been heavily
reinforced by the BIRTHS hand French,
sanguinary encounters may be ex-
pected.

WILL PAY WHEAT GROWERS
SOME EXTRA FOR SACKS
Grain Corporation of the U. S. to
Allow the Farmers Nine Cents
Per Bushel.

San Francisco.-Farmer through.
out the western states will be allow.
ed 8 cents a bushel, or approximately
20 cents each for bags on sacked
wheat for the new crop of 1918, it is
announced by r. A. Levin, second
ration of the United States food adj
ministration, and southern agent for
California, Nevada and Arizona. The
new price amounts to an increase of
about II cents a bag over allowances
for the 1917 crop, and will assure the
farmer an adequate return on the
price he has to pay for new bags, it
is said
Not Due to Speculation.
There has been agitation over the
high prices being asked for bags fol
the new crop. A full investigation
was held last week in Washington
before the war trade board and the
evidence went to show the prescn
high prices are due to the high prices
demanded for bags in Calcutta, anc
not to any speculation on the part o.
the bag men here. While no definite
allowance is set for barley, it il
known that the value Of the second
hand bags is added to the bulk value
of the barley, and indirectly the farm
Ell will get back just about the same
proportion of the cost of his bags
when he sells his barley.
Contingent on One Fact.
Many farmers, it was said, do moi
realize this, but feel that they have
lost the entire expense of sackine
grain.
Abe assurance of the new price, sc
far as the grain corporation is con
cerned, is contingent upon the fact
that the end of the war or Other
causes might be such that the grair
corporation would not handle the
wheat crop this year as they have il
the past, and the allowance of cents
a bushel is based on the present bag
market and would only be revised il
conditions radically changed.

There Is no disputing the fact that
