GERMAN RETREAT
 GETTING OUT HAND
DEVICES THAT ENEMY IS DEMORAllZED.
K Q Western Ne~spaps Union .s,,.: s,.,:

Washington. - Reports from the British front indicated to military of ficers here that the German retreat, heretofore conducted with the utmost military skill, is getting out of hand. Under the terrific pressure of the British and French armies all along the line from Ypres to Soissons, the enemy apparently is being forced 10 more precipitate withdrawal partic- ularly on the old Droucourt- -Queant front, where Marshal Haig's men hammered forward irresistibly.
 The official announcement froll London that more than 10000 prisou- CTS have been taken in two days fighting on this front in itself indi- cates, it is said, that there is growing disorganization in the German ranks.
 With this in mind, there was wide speculation among officers as to what new developments of the battle are to be expected. Observers believe the time is fast approaching when General Pershings first field army will participate in the battle, on the theory that General Foch has been withholding this new and vigorous lv.ce TOT "a decisive t@-@ wn.n ,na time is ripe. Where or when the blow would be delivered, however, was wide variance of opinion.
 The British now have broken de- cided gap in the old German fortified line and the fall of Cambrai, Doua!, St. Quentin and several other rail and road centers upon which the linden burg line depended seems imminent. If the enemy intended to fall back upon this line when he was forced into a general withdrawal along his whole front from Rheims to Ypres his chances are rapidly dWindling as the British lines surge forward at the very center of the great battle front.
 Marshal Haig's forces are moving on Cambrai, the key to a large sec tion across the old line, and if that place is taken it seems that the en- emy will be quickly forced to evacl- ate the salient in which he is rapidly being pocketed by the French aud American advance on the Oise-Ailette lines in the south and the British thrust eastward from Peronne to the north.
 So evident is the growing disorgan- iZation among the Germans shown in reports from the British front that some officers are inclined to think il possible that the enemy may be fore ed to withdrawal to the Rhine this year. Others, how ever, feel that the skill the German leaders have display ed does not warrant any anticipation of an early collapse.

FRENCH SOIL SLIPS
 FROM FOOT OF HUN
GERMANY APPARENTLY UNABLE TO REORGANiZE FORCES TO
 MAKE CAPABLE STAND.

Paris. Between Ypres ana Rheims, with Gen. Mangin menacing the St. Gobain forest and the Chemin des-Dames; with Gems. Humbert and Debeny advancing on St. Quentin anl the Franco-Americans on the Vesie, with Gen. Raylinson before Peronne. Gen. Byng before Lens and Gen. Plumer before Armentieres, the enc my feels the soil of France slipping from under his feet.
 Commentators point that Tn the present offensive continuity has been maintained lasting l6 days without break and that not since the begin ming of the war has such an extended series of hammer blows been direct ed, throwing the adversary into com plete dismay. The enemy apparently is unable to reorganize his forces to make stand capable of arresting the onward march of the allies.
 The Paris military critics today treat mainly of the threatening breach in the Hindeuburg line in the north. pointing out that the enemy now Is forced to forego the use of prepared artificial defenses and to fall back run the natural. obstuuies which, tue writers argue, are the only hope of the Germand command in the pres ent state of disorganization among its divisions
 The enemy. the critics show, will have before Cambrai series of natur- al defenses, which may help him stay the march of the British armies momentarily The general assump- tion is that the German stand will be made along the line of the Canal dd Nord. passing west of Marquion. east of Inchy-En- Artois and from Moeuvres to Hermies.
 There is every sign of extreme dis organization among the enemy 5 forces at vulnerable points in his line. To the north of Peronne along q front extending many kilometers troops of all kinds have been promis- cuously collected and 80 battalions of this heterogeneous fighting material have been thrown slovenly into the breach. In front of Cambrai. Col. Fabry points out in the Oui, Il diyi- sions were piled up on a marrow front, and he further deals with the sitution at Cambrai thus:
 The arrival of a British army at the gates of Cambrai when everything was quiet in the trenches from Nieu- port to Belfort was unwelcome enough for the enemy, but now the British are smashing the Hindenburg line and advancing on Cambrai with the enemy's armies elsewhere in retreat

] I'VE STOCK
FEWER HOGS DIE OF DISEASE
March, 1918, Reaches Lewest Mark in 35 Years.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 The death rate of swine from all diseases for the year ending March, 1918, was 42.1 per 1OOO, and is the lowest in 35 years, according to rec ords kept during that period. This unprecedentedly low rate of mortality presents great contrast with those of earlier periods, particularly with the losses of 1888 per 1000 in 1887. IA per 1000 in 1897, and 11S.9 per 1000 in 1914, years marked by severe outbreaks of hog cholera. This is even a remarkable reduction from the nor nal low rate of losses which has re- mained slightly above 50 per 1,OOO when the disease was least prevalent.
 The approximate number of hogs on hand January l, 1918, was 71,374,0OO. The loss of 42.1 per 1000 for the year ending March, 1918, therefore repre- sented approximately 3.000,O00 of these animals, equivalent to the consumption of pork and pork products by the en- tire population of the United States for 1917 for % days.
 These recent losses should be com pared with that of 100000 hogs in 1914, which curtailed production to the extent of the national consumption for that year for 37 days.
 The marked reduction in the losses of swine in 1918 over preceding periods, in view of the fact that 90 per
 
 cholera. indicates clearly the benefit from the combined efforts of state and federal agencies in protecting the farmers against the ravages of this exceedingly fatal disease.

GIVE YOUNG PIGS ATTENTION
Care Given at Farrowino Time Has Important Bearing on Food Sup-
 ply of Nation.

CPrepared by the United States Depart

 The farrowing house or pen should be comfortably warm, we'll ventilated, and we'll lighted. Above all else, it any circulation of air under the floor. Too many hog growers make the mis- take of bedding too lightly. Heavy bedding naturally makes the SOW com fortable and warm-conditions neces- sary If she is to be quiet. Use wheat or rye straw. Wild hay Is good, as Is millet. Do not use oat straw unless there Is absolutely nothing else at hand.
 Do not confine the SOW in her far rowing pen more than AS hours before farrowing time If 1t is possible to avoid doing so. Reduce the heavy feed to some extent, probably about half, for that length of time.
 Under no circumstances should the SOW have any feed whatever for 24 hours after farrowing. She must, how ever, have plenty of water at frequent intervals. This water must not be icy cold-that drawn directly from the well is about the right temperature. Commence after 24 hours feeding light ly, increasing the feed gradually for probably week or ten days, when she may be gotten onto full feed, condi- toned on the size of the litter and the milking qualities of the SOW.
 good herdsman, for the first week at least after farrowing, will look the pigs over carefully before each feed ing. If any indications of SCOUTS ap- pear, the sow's feed should be reduced immediately or possibly cut out entire

AMERICANS MAY BE USED
Should General Pershing Strike Sud- denly Toward Metz and Meet With Success, 1t Is Thought Enemy Will
 Evacuate Whole St. Mihiel Bend.

Washington. - The hour when thrown into the battle is rapidly ap- preaching, in the opinion of many of ficers and officials at the War Depart ment
 Developments indicated to these o5- servers that the German withdrawal is near the point when Marshal Foch should make use of every available weapon to prevent the enemy from making d stand in his old position along the Hindenburg line.
 Reports from the front indicated that the Germans are haStening their withdrawal along a wide front before the French and British armies that are on their heels. Apparently the enemy leaders feel that the line is strengthened out sufficiently to with draw to the old we'll fortified lines from which they launched their great drive last March. The fact that the British have broken across the old line on the Doua-Cambrai front is regarded as the spur that is impetl- ing the Germans to rush the last stage of their withdrawal.
 It is argued that if the enemy at tempts to hold the Hindenburg line or such of it as he can, he will have 10 mass reserves to do it. A new at tack. far to the south and east of the present battle area would compel ilim aIc tn n frnDT and it is in such an attack that many officials believe that General Persh- ings army will be employed.
 Many officers think an attack nay be launched there with the object of turning the whole German line north ward and that probably a slmultan- eous attack would be delivered oe- yond Verdun, where the original American sector lies, to complete this conception of wide turning move- ment against the enemy positions in northern France.
 The St. Mihiel salient, where .he -T r4..- -.---. israst forward beVaEa Verdun on the west, might offer chance for Fochs favorite pincer tao tics. some officers think. There ere indications that this front is held by Americans with the exception Of the defenses of Verdun and the lines southeast of that city. If General Pershing should strike suddenly to- ward Metz and meet with any success, 1t is thought the enemy might Do forced to evacuate the whole St. Mihiel bend

Farrowino Pen With Tenders VIII Save Many Little Porkers From Be- ing Crushed.

ly. A heavy feed of rich slop given when SCOUTS begin to show up possi- ply may kill the entire litter. A little extra care for these few days is abso- lutay necessary.
 When the pigs are from four or five to ten days old, be on the lookout for thumps. The best-looking fat little pig Is the one to go first every time. An almost certain indication Is a little roll of fat around the neck. While there Is no known cure for tlrumps, the trouble is quite easily prevented. Plenty of exercise for the pigs is the answer. In cold, stormy weather out of-door exercise is impossible, but if a central farrowing house with an alley way Is used, get the little fat fellows into the alley and put in about ten or fifteen minutes three or four times a day chasing them with buggy whip, until they are pretty we'll tired out. If this is impossible try one or two of the little pigs at time in n large bar. rel or hogshead. placed by the farrow- ing pen. The pigs will hear the old SOW making fuss and in running around the barrel hunting for a corner to climb out, generally will take the ex- ercise necessary to ward off thumps. A considerable part of the battle is won If the litter gets past the first ten days or so with good start.
