FOR The FARMERS
They VIII BE Allowed TO Advance
Price Of Wheat on Account Of
Raise In Freight Rates.

The following telegram received
Saturday night by Fred M. Sackett,
Federal Food Administration from Mr..
Hoover, shows clearly the efforts
made by the Food Administration to
assure the farmers who have re-
sponded to the Governments call for
increased wheat production, the full
prices they had been led to expect
from previous announcements
Washington, d. c., June Is, 1918
"The advance In freight rates on
the twenty-fourth of June will, in JUS
tice to the farmer, necessitate an ad-
vance in the price of wheat at the
principal Mississippi Valley and East
ern terminals a few cents bushel:
The advance will be worked out so as
to equalize, as far as possible, the
loss that the farmer would otherwise
incur through the increase in rates.
Details of rate advances will probably
not be known until June twenty-fifth,
at which date we are assembling a
committee of traffic experts to con-
slider what actual advance in price is
necessary in compensation.
at is impossible to complete such
plan for a few days after the above
date. 1t Is our intention so far as the
peculiar character of the rate advance
enables us to do so, to. work out a
plan that will leave the farmer In the
same intrinsic position that he was in
before that date"

trated on the western side of Rheims,
between Vrigny and Ornes and which
went over to assault last night were
met with such an awful fire from the
French defense that they were unable
to make the slightest progress. They
suffered such losses after trying time
after time to reach the French posi-
tions that only few of the attackers
were able to return to their own lines.
When the Germans launched their
attack in full force on Rheims their
! intention was to deal a heavy blow
to compensate for their failure to cap
ture Compeign. Forty thousand troops
participated in the assault along the
front extending from Vrigny plateau
to Sillery, with orders to carry the
city at all costs. They met with dis
NAL defeat
! At every point they were repulsed
with heavy losses. In a most gal
liant manner the French troops pre-
vented the enemy from scoring even
an initial success, The artillery prep
aration lasted for several hours and
was one of the most terrific yet car
ried out. High explosives from hun
dreds of cannon intermingled with
numerous poison gas shells. To the
east of Rheims the Germans at first
made some advances, but were soon
thrown back to their original posi-
tions, and a considerable number of
them were taken prisoner. At noon
today the gun fire was still very
heavy, but the attack may for the mo-
ment be regarded as complete de-
feat for the attacking forces.
Ameriscan Patrols Surprise Germans
With the American Army in France,
June 19-Two American patrols
crossed the Marne east of Chateau
Thierry this morning. They estab-
lished contact with the hostile forces,
killed a considerable number of the
enemy and brought back prisoners.
These were from landwehr units,
which is taken as an indication that
no hostile attacks are intended at this
point in the immediate future.
This afternoon American machine
gunners discovered hostile party in
considerable numbers apparently
making ready to attempt to cross the
river. But after these guns were turn
ed loose for a few minutes, the enemy
abandoned whatever plans he had.
The American artillery east and
west of Chateau Thierry for several
hours late last night and this MORN
ing deluged the enemy with shells.

ly Along the Piaye
River.

Rome. June 19-The Austrian offen-
sive in the Italian theatre is still in
progress along the Piave river, but in
the mountain region after the sharp
reaction by the Italian, British and
French troops, who in counter at
tacks pushed back the invader from
the points he had reached in his ini-
tial rush, the enemy evidently is fear
full of again trying out the mettle of
the defenders.
On the Piave numerous attempts
have been made by the Austrians to
gain further bridgeheads on the west
ern bank of the stream but the Ital-
ians everywhere are holding them
with their gunfire and also doing san
culinary execution within the ranks
Of the enemy across the river bombs
and machine gun fire.
The Austrian war Office asserts that
the Austro-Hungarian troops have
crossed the Fossetta canal at some
points where Tuesday it was claimed
they had made advances and also that
several Italian lines, at the southern
foot of the Montello plateau, the key
to the venttian plains, have been pier
ced. Rome, on the other hand, de-
clared that all the weak attempts
made in the Montello region were
completely repulsed.
More than 5000 men have been
taken by the Italians since the Of
fensive begun and many guns and
several hundred machine guns have
been captured. That intensive air
fighting has also taken place is shown
by the fact that fifty enemy planes
have been shot down. Only two Of
the Allied machines have failed to re-
turn to their base.
The Teautonic allies apparently
have lost their spirit Of do-or-die.
Their attacks everywhere lately have
lacked the tenaciousness of days gone
by.
Instead Of ploughing through allied
lines with stubborn indifference to
casualties so long as an objective was
gained, they now waver and then halt
in the face of the rife and artillery
fire of the men boring their way and
with their points they we're trying to
gain for beyond their power.
Ambitious attempts by the troops
of the Central Powers in the past few
weeks have proven this. The opening
of a gateway to Paris through the
western front, running from Mont
dIdier to the Marine, failed complete
ly; the offensive on the italian battle
line launched by the Austrians SEEM
ingly has failed miserably In the
mountain regions and has apparently
almost been stopped along the Piave,
while a stroke started by the Ger
mans against Rheims broke down In
its inception without the enemy TAX
ing a yard Of territory. And in this
various attempted enterprises the
high commands OF the Germans and
Austro-Hungsrian armies have seen
their men literally mown down until
battlehelds have been clogged with
dead or wounded as recompense to
bhe Allied troops for the small bits Of
terrain they yielded.

Soldier Asks Waitress

mattresses and some CUSTOMERS make
better use of the time than others.
One soldier, while getting outside
an order of four hard-boiled eggs,
delivered himself of a proposal OF
marriage. His home was on a farm

been a bum farm until they struck
oil in the midst of it.
Now" he said, II have a house
worth $500 and have an income
of 500 a day from my oil wells"
My goodness!" exclaimed the
waitress, II wonder they ever let you
escape. I mean, I wonder you are
not married"

soldier, "but the trouble is all you

You bet I do,' he replied heart

Searchlights Rack
Nerves of Airmen

London Searchlights are the
most nerve-racking enemy which
the airplane pilot has to face in
night flying. writes an airman in the
Daily Mall"
"Searchlights are cruel things" he
saws, "are far harder on the nerves
than high explosive or shrapnel.
They seem so alive. as though they
have volition of their own and were
great arms stretched out across the
night, sweeping the darkness with
an eager desire to find their quarry.
Perhaps the airman is flying
placidly over the enemy territory in
an area which he knows has been
hitherto undefended. Suddenly he
sees Immediately in front of him
beam of light moving up and down,
up and down.
Nearer and nearer it moves to-
wards him, weaving it's way in wide
sweeps across the sky until 1t flashes
over him. and for a moment the ma
chine is lit up and he is conscious of
a great pool of intensely brilliant
light, in which he seems to swim,
and then 1t passes beyond him-but
remains very near the machine.
The pilot throttles his engine and
turns slightly as he glides silently
down the night. The beam is, as It
we're, puzzled, and moves slowly be-
hind him as he glides farther and
farther on, and soon he has left It a
long distance behind him.
He goes on. light-hearted again
for the moment, feeling as a mouse
must do when 1t has been cornered
by cat and has been playfully tap
ped few times by a heavy paw, and
has then, by sudden move of
strategy, managed to escape to the
safety of its hole"
