Washington, March 23.-Further re-
duction in the consumption of wheat
was asked of the public tonight by
the food administration, that the scant
supplies available before the next har-
vest may be stretched to meet the
needs of the army, domestic consumers
and the allies.
Every American is requested to cut
his average ration Of wheat by so per
cent which would reduce the totdi
monthly normal consumption to 21,-
100000 bushels. That gives ration
of not more than 1 1~2 pounds OF
wheat product weekly for each per-
son. Flour sales will be cut to one
eighth of barrel for a town con-
sumer and to one quarter of barrel
for any country customer that retail
ers stocks may be distributed to as
great a number as possible.
Reduce Bakers Supplies.
The wheat content of bakers bread
will be reduced to seventy-five per
cent on April IA, which increases by
five per cent the amount of substi-
tutes that must be used.
Sacrifice in the wheat ration will
entail no hardship. in the opinion OF
food administration officials, because

The Great German offensive on the
western front has developed as it's
salient feature an apparent desperate
effort to break into the southwest OF
ST. Quentin, drive a wedge between
the British and the French and push
on across the Somme canal in the
general direction of Compiegne and
Paris.
simultaneously Paris has been bonn
barded at quarter hour intervals, be-
ginning Saturday forenoon, with
shells of about 9-inch caliber. The
source of the bombardment has not
been revealed. The nearest point on
the front Is sixty-two miles distant,
more than twice as far as artillery
fire has ever reached previously. One
| theory suggested is that the Germans
have developed an aerial torpedo
| which can be fired from a long dis
tanca.
Advance of Nine Miles.
There was an admitted break in the
British line in the st. Quentin region
late yesterday, the Germans forcing
their way through the defensive sys-
tenn and compelling British retreat
to prepared positions within the area
devastated by the Germans in their
retreat in the spring of 1917.
This new line also is now being at
tackled by the Germans, news dis
patches filed from the front late in
the day indicating that the fighting
already was heavy in the vicinity of
Ham. which represents a penetration
of some nine miles for the Germans.
Ham Is approximately eleven miles
southwest of st. Quentin.
German Cavalry Ready.
A supreme effort by the Germans
to cut the line in this region, is fore

infantry and evidently intend TO

Further north the British lines,

maximum British retrogression there
seems to have been about four miles,

Paris, March 23.-The first day
light air raid on Paris came today
which was one of perfect sunshine.
The people of Paris refused to inn
nure themselves in cellars and other
subterranean shelters, and, although
the subway stations were crowded,
the streets always had great num-
her of people in them watching for
an aerial battle or some other stir
ring incident.
AS the day passed and the "all
clear" signal was not given, the feel
ing grew that something new in the
way of raid was expected, and this
was not explained until an official
statement was issued, saying-that de-
lay was due to the bombardment by
long distance cannon.

The "all clear was then sounded
and the normal life was resumed
The cable office reopened to take VI
accumulated piles Of dispatches.
Pieces of the shells were found
upon being examined, to bear riflins
marks, which proved that they had
not been dropped but had been fired
from a gun. This apparently left q
greater mystery than ever as t.
where the gun in question was To-
Gated, the nature of its and by what
method it was being operated.
Another thing which turned the
thoughts of the officials at the mu-
Eicipal laboratory to the possibility
that cannon was being used was the
regularity with which the bombs fell
one every twenty minutes.

Pr:ssl-Thc supremacy Of the British
in thesAir over the aviators of the Cen.
trail Powers is growing more and more
constant each week. During the air
combats of the summer and fall Of last

more enemy machines brought down for

This is the more emphatic at present,
when practically all of the air battles

they are among friends.
