British German Battle in Flanders.
Western Flanders for the first time
this year has been the scene of seri-
Gus fighting between the British and
the enemy who were forced to retire
behind the positions from which they
attacked. After a heavy artillery
bombardment the Germans stormed
the British lines on a front of more
than a half mile south of the Hout-
hoist forest northeast of Ypres.
At one point the enemy broke thru
but on most of the front he was
thrown back with loss. The British
counter attacked and drove the Ger
mans back to their own line and then
occupied three hundred yards of it
The Cambria and Ypres areas con-
tinue the scenes of spirited artillery
actions. Clear weather also has
brought increased artillery activity on
the British front and twenty enemy
airplanes are reported to have been
put out of action. including ten de-

On the American Front.
On the American and French fronts
German raiding parties and batteries
are busy but there have been no de-

ing is especially heavy along the
front from Rheims to the German
border. Indications along the Ameri-
can sector northwest of Toul are that
the enemy is preparing for more SER

Chicago weekly SUMMARY.

Chicago. March 9.-Weekly Grain and
Provisions-Despite record breaking stocks
of corn on farms the market value of the
cereal has risen this week owing chiefly
to efforts to provide enough here to per
NIT dryers to work night and day aud t.
allow maximum shipments to the Atlantic
seaboard. Compared with a week ago prices
this morning showed an advance of Isc to
Ac net. Oats gained 1A@17sc to 2asc and
provisions DC to Toe, except March lard
which was off &c.
Notwithstanding that fine weather great
ly facilitated the movement of the corr
crop, the big receipts were readily absorbed
and it seemed evident that as much corr
as possible which would be suited for ship
ments to the entente allies was being ac
cumulated

President Lincoln, Former
Hamburg-American Liner
Sinks In Hour rrry

Washington, May si.--Loss Of the
homeward bound American trans
port President Lincoln was reported
today by Vice Admiral Sims. The
message was brief, merely stating
that the vessel was torpedoed 1T
1O:4O o'clock this morning and went
down an hour later.
Navy officials waited anxiously to-
night for further details but as the
attack occurred by daylight and the
ship remained afloat for an hour they
felt certain the casualty list would be
small and probably be limited to a
few men killed or injured BY the ex-
plosion.
The President Lincoln was a bio

west Of Scissors, beyond Blerancourt
an dEpagny would carry Won linden
burg in the direction Of Compiegne
AT Compeigne, the Aisne flows in
to the oise river, which latter runs
southwark to the Seine and so to
Paris. If Won Hindenburg can reach
Compiegne, he will be in favorable
position to secure control Of the
Aisne west Of Scissors for a new de-
fensive line. This is probably the ul-
innate strategic purpose Of the Bile
rancourt-Epagny movement.
The situation now facing Gen.
eral Foch in its essential strategy
is the same as that which he met dur
ing the Picardy-Flanders offensive
He can stop the German advance any
time he desires by throwing in the
major part Of his reserves, and the
American troops now in France. But,
to do this would be to play Won Hin
denburg's game. It would mean an
offensive battle On Won Hindenburg' S
terms. This is what General Foch is
trying to avoid. The loss of ground
is unimportant compared with avoid
ing submission to Won Hindenburg's
own plans of campaign. In this re-
speet, which is the most important
from the standpoint Of democraey's
ultimate victory, events are, progress
