our war
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
Is eased by the stopping Of large move

lax our efforts to save wheat. The az
cunlulated surplus in Australia, Argen

markets will become available, and
probably no more thun our normal sur
plus will have TO leave this country.
We in America and the nations which,
have won the world for freedom will
loaf at the common table Of the peo-
pies OF democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
wheat supply which gave us only
2O,W0,0W bushels available for ex-
port. When The crop year ended, we
had sent al 100000 bushels Of wheat
TO Europe. The American people Ia Il

BY October 10, 1918, we had already

our wheat exports since the latest har.

COUNTER ATTACKS

 COSTLY TO HUNS
Enemy Attacks Continue in Force and Small Gain of Trenches Admitted While German Loss Is Heavy.
lRy Review Leased wlrel

LONDON, March 22-The Germans on Friday along most all of the battle front continued their attacks in great strength. At several points the enemy made gains against the British but at others he was repulsed in counter at- tacl1s. according to the British official communication issued tonight ? The statement says the British loss es inevitably have been considerable but not out of proportion to the magni- tude of the battle. The enemy's losses continue very heavy, all his advances being made at great sacrifices.
 The greatest courage is being shown by the British troops The cOmmunt- cation says:
 This morning the enemy renewed his attacks in great strength along practically the whole of the battle front Fierce fighting occurred in our battle positions and is still continuing.
 "The enemy made some progress at certain points. At others his troops have teen thrown back by our counter attacks.
 "Our losses inevitably have been considerable, but they have not been out of proportion to the magnitude of the battle.
 From reports received from all parts of the battle front the enemy's losses continue tc be very heavy, ami his advance everywhere has been made at great sacrifices.
 Our troops are fighting with the greatest gallantry. Exceptional gal lantry was shown by the 24th division in rrotracted defense at Leverguier. and by the third division. who main tained our positions in the neighbOr- hood of CrOisilles and to the north of that village against repeated attacks.
 "A very gallant fight was made by the 51st division in the neighborhOod of the Bapaume Cambrai road against repeated attacks.
 Identification obtained in the course of the battle shows that the enemy's opening attack was delivered by some forty divisions. supported by great masses of German artillery. reinforced by Austrian batteries. Many other German divisions since have taken part in the fighting and others are ar irving in the battle area.
 Further fighting of a most severe nature is anticipated"

WASHINGTON, March 22.- Lacking reports of an official character beyond the commun- iques issued by the British gov ernment, American army officers tonight still were unable to form ulate conclusive opinions as to the scope and purpose Of the Ger man thrust against the British front in the Cambraia sector.
 General Pershing is expected 10 transmit soon in formation handed To him from the British headquar- ters. It is anticipated that a corpleta summary of what tran spired yesterday and of subse- oUent events along the British front will reach the war depart ment in this way and form a background of information upon which officials can measure the strength of tho German movement fer themselves.
 As additional details come in the purpose of the German high command appeared to center upon the recaDture of the most advanc- ed portion of the British trench line in the Cambrai region. There was nothing to indicate. however, it was said whether the German purpose was to use the territory it was thus hoped 10 gain as a vantage point from which to strike further blows or was designed to pro- 'ect from possible allied ef- forts tho communication centers in the vicinity of Cambrai.
 No officer would hazard an opinion today as to tre underly- ing motive of the German army commanders. All said the inform ation thus far received was of tco scattered a character to show cnnclusively whether operations at other points on the fifty-mile front involved are mere covering enterprises or are elements in a scheme of grand attack.
 A On the face of reports tbus far seen, officers were we'll satisfied with the display Of resisting power made by the British troops. They are mo7a than ever confid- ent of the ability of General Haig's men not only to check the German onslaught within reasonable linn it's. but to hurl it hack when it's initial force has been expended. The promptness with which sue cessful counter attacks were driven home bv the British was noted as was the unbroken spirit os the mon after the terrific or deal through which they had pas sed.

BULGARIAN TROOPS ON WESTERN FRONT
No Change in Attitude of America Expected Until Sammies Are Attacked by Balkan Soldiers.

WASHINGTON. March 22.-Ameri- cas- attitude towards Bulgaria will not be altered at least for the pre- sent by operations of Bulgarian troops on the western front.
 Reports that Bulgarian units had been brought up to the lines oppos- ing the British forces We're received at the state department without sur prise andy ithout arousing any appre- hensicn of an immediate diDlomatic change. It was indicated that cer- tsinly until the troops of the Balkan state, regarded as Germany's tool, were actually used against lines held by American troops the present anamolous situation proabbly would continue.
 It is known, however. that sugges- q ions from foreign caUitsls have reai-h- ed Washington that tho United States should formally include Bulgaria among its enemies.
 Some officials thing nothing would be gained by declaring war even if Bulgarian troops should be found fighting against the American front.

They have been told. proverbially. that if baby fell out of a fourth story window and was killed it would not be unusual, but if it fell out of a fourth story window into a baby carriage in the street and was not injured it would be unusual and therefore news. It happened in New York tonight.
