ARRAS OFFENSIVE ID BE RENEWED |S

Republican A. p. Leased Wlre]

LONDON, March s9.-German at tacks before Arras on Thursday failed, says a Reuters telegram from the British headquarters from the front. The enemy succeeded in advancing his line south of the Scarpe to the ruins of the old reserve trench system from which the British elected him a year ago.
 The telegram states that north of the river the enemy penetrated Roeux af- ter prolonged fighting in which a Brit ish battalion made a heroic stand until it was surrounded and cut off. The British withdrew in this section some hundred yards. German prisoners state that the attacking force consisted of shock troops instructed to take Arras at all costs.
 I do not think the enemy has abandoned his intention to try to take Arras," says the correspondent, but he must bring up fresh divisions before repeating the attempt. We repelled a strong attack at Ayette, south of Ar fas, this afternoon. Some Germans en- tered the village but were driven out by brilliant counter attack
 Today has been fine and the wind dried the roads, but the barometer is low. In the Albert sector the enemy is bringing up more guns, but they are coming slowly. We repulsed an enemy attack toward Buire and we are still on the line passing Mericourt and Sally le Sec

DALLAS, Tex. March 29.-General rains over virtually all of Texas. east ern New Mexico and parts of Oklaho- ma last night and today. according to the local weather bureau, will be of immense value to growing cotton, oats and wheat, and to cattle ranges in the western part of Texas. The panhandle country was visited with the first gen. eral raIc in six months, the precipita- ton in that section averaging one inch. The rain extended from Muskogee and Tulsa. Okla, to the Gulf coast of Tex as, two and one half inches being rec orded in some sections.
 Reports from the panhandle indicate while wheat has suffered a setback from the prolonged drouth, today moisture probably will save the crop, while the outlook for other growing crops are bright.

LONDON, March 29.-The Evening News says it learns on high author ity that nothing has occurred on the western front within the last F hours to necessitate revision of the confi- dent views held officially.
 The Hun mass attacks on the north of our line are being stub bornly met it adds, and the enemy is not gaining anything worth d tithe of the enormous losses inflicted on him. The French in the south also are doing extremely well. The possibility of further retirements is not ignored. but taking the whole battlefield into view, it is considered that the situation is well in hand"

AvERTEO EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World 10 Abie -
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage OF shipping. Between July
and October 10 we shipped 85.98O.8O5
bushels. II this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 297,50o.0oO bushels Of wheat and
hour In terms Of wheat.
The result Of increased production
and conservation efforts In the United
States has been that with the cessa.
ton Of hostilitles we are able to re-
turn to normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated In Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sshle markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will Lot exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have a white loaf at the COM
mon table.
But last year tho tale was different.
Oily by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep a
steady stream Of wheat and flour NOV
AAB dCloSS lue SEA. we IOunu our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statistIcians
figured that we had bare surplus of
2O,OOO,000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability Of a bread
famine-and In Europe bread Is by far
the most important article ir the diet.
All Of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall BY the first
OF the year we had managed to ship
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals. heavy substitution Of other
cereals and by sacrifice ut almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only If we sent an additional 75,-
100000 bushels before July 1 could he
take the responsibility Of assuring his

Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.
