Gen. Foch's Appointment
Is Pleasing to America
United Press Leased wire.)


WASHINGTON, ID. c., March
disappointment of the brilliant
French General Foch to supreme
allied command was hailed here
today as one of the most vitality
important steps taken in the war.
Complying, as it does, with the
American desire for unification of
command and action, the choice
Of Foch was doubly welcome.
In his new post Foch can dis
pose Of troops as he sees fit. There
will be no clashing of commands,
no working at cross purposes and
no isolated expenditure of man
power which could be better used
in a unified effort.
President Wilson and American
military men. have long urged
that unified control was abso-
lutely essential if the allied-Ameri-
can forces were to be used to the
maximum advantage against the
German autocratic, unified con-
troll.
The terrible struggle along the
west front drove home that idea
and forced the appointment, &C.
cording to military men today.
Gen. Pershing's offer of Ameri-
can men and resources is without
reservation. In full accord with
President Wilson's views, Perish
ing will cooperate to the last de-
gree with the new leader. And IL
is likely that Foch has already
taken partial advantage of the
offer and will quickly make use
of it more fully.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, March 30.-Since
General French, at Ypres, prevent
ed the Germans from turning the
British flank by stretching out his
little army until it reached tho
North sea, no more brilliant move
ment has been executed on the
west front than the manner In
which the French general staff.
night and day, kept up contact
with the British armies, dOggedly
retreaung to the northwest.
The French steadily extended
their lines from the region OF La
Fere to beyond Mont Didier. This
successful operation has definite
ly broken up what is now known
to have been the original German
plan, namely, following the Ba-
varian crown princes expected
ruptury OF the British front, for
the German crown princes army
to pass thru the breach and march
on Paris by way of the Disc valley.
While barring the latter move
ment by holding the Disc line sol
idly, the French kept up contact
with the British. This was &C
cOmplished only by masterful
handling OF the French reserves
throwing in infantry divisions
when they arrived in time, other
wise using cavalry divisions whom
quick action was necessary, while
artillery was rushed rapidly along
the entire front.
Meanwhile every French
division was resisting heroic
ally, necessitating often 10
German attacks to dislOdgo
them.
Prisoners declare they were
driven to the attack by OFF,

Further, it may indicate that
the Germans In meeting the ex-

will try to force Foch's armies to

than to try conclusions In the

Simms also describes an extern
sion of the fighting front further
to the north-at Cite st. Auguste,
a mile north of Lens, opposite
Loos. The previous northern point
of intensive bombardment was at
Avion, a mile south Of Lens and
the extreme northern flank of the

at Acheville, two and a half miles

Within a short time diners in
leading Tacoma hotels may eat
their dinners without wheat
bread, pastry or wheat products
in any form.
Instead, rice cakes, corn cakes
and potato cakes may be on the
bill.
Whether Tacoma hotels will
follow the lead of several hun
dred of the country's leading ho-
tells in wiping wheat products off
the menus will be decided next
Tuesday at a meeting of the Ho-
tel Mems association.
This announcement was made
Saturday by w. A. Norman, presi-
dent of the Tacoma hotel, who
said he intended to bring the
question up at the meeting.
There appears to be little op-
position to the move, altho it
would mean considerable changes.
The Tacoma hotel, for instance,
has done a big business in French
pastries, all of which would be
cut out.
Begin at Top.
The hotels action was decided
on by managers from nearly every
state who met in Washington, ID.
c., Friday. They were told by
Food Administrator Hoover that
the need for wheat was even great
err now than when the new regu-
lations we're put into effect.
Hoover said the remuneration of
luxurious food must begin at the
top of the social scale, not only to
set an example, but because the
industrial population is depend
ent to a large extent on bakers
bread, which must have a consid-
cradle proportion of wheat to be
durable.
He asked the hotels which have
as patrons people of wealth to set
an example to their clientele and
to other public eating places by re-
fusing to serve any wheat what
ever until the new crop comes in,
using other cereals and potatoes
instead.
I'VE stand at the most critical
period of our national history
since the battle of Gettysburg, "
Hoover declared, according to dis
patches from Washington. I'VE
may have to cut our wheat con-
sumption more than one-half, but
the sacrifice must come from
those who have the most, not
from those who have the least"
Hit Rough Road.
America today hit the toughest
food road thus far travelled in the
war, according to United Press
dispatches.
The titanic task of supplying
England, France and Italy with
sufficient cereals to maintain the
morale of the troops and people
has reached the point where the
American table is forced to make
the greatest sacrifice of its his
tory.
There will be plenty of meat,
however, to make up for the wheat
bread lack, meatless days having
been abandoned for 80 days.
Corn is called upon to fill the
wheat gap for the time. Begin
ming tomorrow, corn shipments to
Europe stop for two months-the
terminating season. Thousands of
bushels will thus be made available
for home consumption and tonnage
and wheat will be released for
Europe.
1t is estimated that .2O,000,C00
bushels of wheat will be shipped
across during April.
