Flour Prices Predicted
to Hold Steady for Year

Minneapolis, Feb. 23-Four prices
during 1913 will not vary-one cent
from the present price Of $10.05 a
barrel set by the government last
summer. -
This was-thes prediction of millers
tonight, based upon the president s
setting wheat prices. They cited the
fact that this -four price is based upon
$2.17 wheat for No. l northern at the
Minneapolis terminal. t.t
Predict Movement ,. :
Under the presidents proclamation
issued tonight the price for wheat re-
mains t2.17 for No. l northern at the
Minneapolis terminal. ~1. 80.
MHers who have been free in
charging the -four shortage: existing
to FARMERS boarding their wheat as
the result Of political agitation" to-
night freely predicted that now wheat
would start moving freely next week,
"since the farmers incentive to hoard
has been removed"
Movement Natural i
However, persons seeking after
facts found that it is reasonable to
expect larger wheat shipments next
week: This is due to the fact that
transportation facilities, generally are
greatly Improved with weather grow
ing better, less storms likely, and to
the fact that w. P. Trickett of the
Minneapolis Traffic association has
been assured 1900 cars daily for car
rying northwest grain all of next
week.
While conceded that the price fix
ing will have some effect upOn farm
ers hauling in their grain, the basic
fact is that improved transportation
conditions will have a greater effect.

your buy.ng 4S Thrift Stamps at 25
cents each, would't you be willing to
make the sacrifice to prevent surh a

"Or, if you realized that some Am

continues the circular; 'or that he

Gas Attacks Feature
Experiienceo Of Americans

With the American Army in France
Feb. 26.-Three American soldiers
were killed and nine badly "gassed''
in two formidable gas attacks made
by the Germans on the American po-
sitions in the Toul sector early this
morning with projectors.
The enemy also heavily bombarded
the American batteries with gas
shells, but without result.
Only the excellent preparatory
training in quickness by the Ameri-
can troops prevented the protector
attacks, the first experienced by them
from causing more casualties.
Attacks Are Rapid
The attacks were made within 10
minutes of each other and were d.
rected at a certain wood. Seventy
five eight-inch shells of 80 per cent
gas and 20 high explosive shells were
fired from German Minenwerfer. The
flight of the projectiles was traced
through the air, the gas shells BURST
ing in the air and the high explosives
decorating when they came in contact
with the earth. Large fragments of
shells flew from both missiles.
The gas caught some of the men be-
fore they were able to adjust their
masks and overcame others while they
were asleep in dugouts.
Feb. 26.-The American artillery
With the American Army in France
Monday retaliated against the Ger
man artillery which had been shelling
them, but which, Notwithstanding the
intensity of the fire, did no damage
and wounded only one man!
The Americans began by shelling
Montse, where buildings were Destroy
ed. They also effectively shot up a
large working party in a dugout,
from which cries for help were heard.
The: enemy today concentrated his
fire on a certain town within the
American lines.
The weather cleared today and
there was much aerial activity Sev-
eral fights in the air occurred over
and behind the American line, and in
addition the American anti-craft guns
were firing all day long. Enemy
planes attacked sausage balloon in
which an American captain was act
ing as observer. The balloon was
hauled down hurriedly without hav-
ing been damaged.

Resistance Grows

London, Feb. 26.-A Petrograd dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph
agency dated Monday says:
"That resistance to the German ad-
vance is growing, is shown by the re-
ports of fighting which continues in
the vicinity Of Pskoy. This town has
changed hands several times. The
German detachments which first en-
tered Pskoy' were very small, but
they have since been reinforced.
"There is general belief that the
Germans are moving forward hastily
because supplies Of ammunition worth
four hundred million rubbles are con-
centrated in the neighborhood of
Pskov. The Russians, however, are
taking measures to guard the rail-
ways and are sending more soviet
troops to Pskov."
Later advices say that the soviet
armies are now everywhere resist
ing the invaders. At Narva, the gar
rison and workmen have formed an
army Of 10000 and gone to Reval.
There are similar reports from Walk.
Great activity is manifested at the
Bolshevik headquarters in Petrograd
and arms and ammunition are being
distributed.
