HOOVER INSISTS WHEAT
SAVING MUST CONTINUE

Dismayed by the reports spreading
thru the country that there is no Ion
ger necessity for the conservation OF
wheat, Herbert Hoover has sent the
following telegram to contradict them
Reports have been circulated that
food administration officials state thai
further wheat conservation is not nee
essary. No statement of such charac
ter has ever been issued. The actual
position is that our supplies until har-
vest allow home consumption of ap.
proximately one-third Of normal If We
are to maintain allied supplies. The
actual position is that in farmers
hands and storage we had at the be
ginning of May 100000 bushels OF
wheat to carry us for approximately
three months or with an early harvest
perhaps two weeks shorter. Our nor.
NAL consumption for three months
would be 12O.o00,OO0 bushels, not al
lowing the allies anything"

LONDON (NIGHT.-On the bat
uous fighting has taken place since
the carly hours Of the morning. Our
troops, pressing the enemy hard at
ell points, have allowed him no re-
spite. Despite the arrival of con-
siderable hostile reinforcements
progress has again been realized on
the whole front Of our attack. Num-
bers Of prisoners and quantities of
material of every description have
fallen into our hands.
Shortly after midnight Australian
troops, attacking along the North
bank of the Somme, captured Bray
sur-Somme, securing number of
prisoners. Continuing their advance
with great skill and initiative they
carried the enemy's positions in this
reighborhood
On their left, London and east
county troops made further progress
during the night along the high
ground southeast of Albert, taking
several hundred prisoners. On the
right centre of our attack Welsh
troop and battalions from the north
ern counies of England advanced
over the ground of the old Somme
battlefield of 1916 about La Boisselle,
Ovillers, Mouquet Farm, Thicpval
and Grandcourt. All these strongly
defended localities were captured in
the face of determined hostile re-
sstance, together with over 1000
prisoners.
Our troops are once more astride
the Thiepval Ridge and are advanc-
