Towns Can Help Farmers.

There is an opportunity now for ur-
ban people sympathetically and con-
structively to study the farm-Iabor sit
uation and to render assistance, said
David F. Houston, secretary of agri-
culture, in a recent statement. In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience, who
are able-bodied and who doubtless
would be willing to serve the nation
in the field of agriculture at this time.
Especially for the seasonal strains of
planting, cultivating and harvesting, 1t
will not be too much to ask such men
to aid the farmers in the necessary I'M
dertaking of maintaining and, if posi-
BILE, supplementing, the food supply in
order to feed the armies and to sustain
the civilian population behind them.
If it appears that the farmers of
community or region are not able to
secure the necessary labor by the usual
methods, then the leaders in the town
or city Immediately dependent upon
that region should organize establish
touch with representative farm lead
ers, and see if they cannot assist in
solving the problem. The department
of agriculture and labor viii render
every possible aid, but each community
knows its own problems, and urban
people, especially business men, could
cooperate effectively with the farmers
and also render much assistance.

Work Women Can Do.

Women and girls who wish to help
the farms produce more food can be of
immediate service in the lighter farm
tasks such as fruit and berry picking,
sorting and packing. They can help
over-busy farm women in their house
hold tasks, especially in preparing the
large amount of food needed for har-
vesting crews.
Indirectly they can help the farmers
with their heavy work by taking the
place of their men folks who perform
lighter tasks in Office, store, or factory,
thereby relieving these men at critical
times to go out to the farms and help
with the heavy work unsuited to WON.

The Afronted eaIIoper.

Sir Frederick "Galloper," as
ne is sometimes called in England
got into difficulty now and then dur
ing the American visit on account of
his fiery and ebullient nature.
"Galloper" Smith had an alterca-
ton with an Irish-American lawyer at
a trial that he attended in New York.
The alteration became very warm.
Finally one of the Galloper's support
ers said, with sneer and toss of
the head towards the Irish-American :
"Come away, Sir Frederick. Re.
member your rank"
"Remember Tn what?" roared Gal
loper Smith fiercely.

valuable to workers in this cOun-

agriculture that the farm labor

BERLIN NOW CLAIMS
 7o,0O0 PRISONERS
Also HOO Guns and More Sue cesses Against the British Troops, According to Berlin's Official Statement.

Berlin, via London, March 29.- Successful engagements between the Somme and Avre rivers are reported in the German official statement is- sued this evening.
 The statement says:
 "There have been successful en- agreements between the Somme and the Avre."
 Since the beginning of the great battle now in progress, the German forces have taken 10000 prisoners and HOO guns, says today's army headquarters report.
 South of the Somme the Germans drove the British out of their old po- sitions and from bravely defended villages in a westerly and northwest erly direction hy way of Warfusee- Abancourt and Plessier.
 In local arrangements on both sides of the Scarne, according to the state ment, the Germans broke through the foremost British positions and took several thousand prisoners.
 The British, the statement adds, continued their fruitless and costly counter-attack near Albert and to the north of it. Between the Somme and the Avre the Germans have attacked again.

verging on Amiens, the railroad cen- ter of northern France, the center from which run the main communica- tions of the British army in northern France. The railroad from Paris to Amiens was cut by the Germans at Montdidier, but this would not be vital if Amiens is held by the allies.
 The German thrust in front of Arras, while Berlin says it has netted thousands of prisoners, apparently has come to a stop before Orange Hill Telegraph Hill and the labyrinth strongholds held by the British in this sector. Repeated mass attacks by the Germans on these points have resulted in terrible losses to them, without breaking the line and causing more than a strengthening of the front before Arras.

RED CROSS WORK

GERMAN DRIVE NOW VIRTUALLY
 AT STANDST|LL
Checked Except at One Sector, and is Slow There-British Line Holds While French COunter-Attack Continues.

New York, March 29.-After eight days, during which it has swept for ward over the rolling hills of Picardy, at times like tidal wave, the German offensive has slowed down. Instead of a sweeping advance, it's progress has been checked at all but one sector of the front and there it has been mere ly creeping for the last two days. This fact even is admitted by the German war office, which usually comedies nothing.
 From Arleux, north of Arras, to Albert, on the Somme, the British lines have been holding stubbornly and have thrust back the Germans at several points. From Albert south to Montdidier there has been a slow movement to the west, but the hills west of Montdidier still are held by the French. No ground has been gain ed against the French along the south ern side of the salient driven into the allied lines, while the French counter attack from Lassigny to Noyon is still going on. The extreme depth of the German wedge now is about 37 miles,
 Meanwhile the allied world is await ing for the entente forces to strike back at the Germans.
 When this blow, if it comes, will fall or where is known only to the men directing military affairs for the allies, but apparently it must come soon if it is to be effective.

ZEN. FOCH WILL COMMAND ALL
 ALLIED ARMIES
American, French and British Forces Under Great Leader II S. Officials Have Long ITrped Step Now Taken.

Washington, March 29.-ofiicial in- ...n,otion has reached Washington .h.t General Foch, the French chief # staff has been appointed to su- .,ore command of all the allied and American forces in France.
 This means unifcation of all the armies opposing the Germans, step which the American and French mili- tary men long haev urged and which apparently has been brought about by recognition of the imperative demand for concentrated effort to hurl back the gigantic thrust of the enemy in France.
 The first hint of the historic devel- Onment came in press cable dispatches telling how General Pershing had placed the American eXpeditionary forces at the disposal of the French commander. This was confirmed to- night in a message from General Per shing to the War Department.
 General Pershing's message, made public by Major General March, act ing chief of staff, follows:
 Have made all our resources avail able and our divisions will be used if, and when, needed. French are in fine spirit and both armies seem confi- dent"

He said the allies have known of the German preparations for the present drive since soon after they were begun and made active prepara- tions to face it. General Bell recently returned from the battle front. He was called by the committee to inform it's members regarding conditions on the battle field He said the German generals recently were quoted as say ing two months preparations were necessary for the present drive.
 "I don't doubt but that it might have taken longer" he declared There has been an impression, he said, that the allies were partly ignorant of German plans, but that he denied, de- claring he was informed confidential ly of the allies preparations to face the Germans when he was there and declared that the British withdrawal was according to a prearranged plan
