PREMIER ASKS ]. S,
TO HURRY TROOPS
eve Are at the Crisis of the
War;" Declares Lloyd George
in Message.

New York, March T.-A message from
David Lloyd George. prime minister Of
Great Britain, calling upon the United
States to send american reinforcements
across the Atlantic in the shortest possible
space of time" was read tonight by Lord
Reading British high commissioner to
the United States at a dinner given here
in his honor.
1--WE are at the crisis of the war.
attacked by an immense superiority of
German troops" said the premier in his
message. Our army has been forced
to retire. The retirement has been car
ried out methodically before the pressure
of a steady succession of fresh German
reserves which are suffering enormous
losses.
"The situation is being faced with
splendid courage and resolution. The
dogged pluck of our troops has for the
moment checked the ceaseless onrush OF
the enemy. and the French have now
joined in the struggle. But this battle
the greatest and most momentous in the
history of the world, is only just begin
ming. Throughout 1t the French and
British are buoyed with the knowledge
that the Great Republic Of the West will
neglect no effort which can hasten its
troops and its ships to Europe.
I'm war, time Is vital. 1t Is impossible
to exaggerate the importance of getting
American reinforcements across tht
Atlantic in the shortest possible space OF
time"

ALDERMEN DREW $3.50
By Curious slip st. Albans City Fathers
Got Extra Pay-Petition Now
to Repeal Law.

st. Albans, March ga public notice"
signed by John Branch and other citizens
just posted in the city states that It Is
the intention of the signers to ask the
next General Assembly of Vermont to re-
peal the law under which the mayor and
members Of the city council are drawing
salaries in compensation for the work they
do for the city. The paragraph in question
reads as follows: "The mayor shall re-
ceive an annual salary Of $150 and each
alderman shall receive an annual salary Of
$50 and such salaries shall be in full pay
ment for all services"
When the article in question was
brought up for action in city meeting in
1918. S. s. Gushing, then city attorney.
taking the Senate Journal as his au-
thority. stated that 1t provided in substance
to pay the mayor $50 and the members
Of the council 500 and the meeting took
favorable action. When the laws came out
in book form it appeared that somewhere
in the course of the bills journeyings the
wording had been changed SO that the
aldermen were to draw the same amount
IS the mayor. The city attorney gave it as
his opinion that the law as certified and
published was binding and the aldermen
have since drawn $3.50 for their services.

ALLIES
WILL STRIKE SOON
Washington Experts Hear That
"Army of Maneuver" Is
Being Gathered.

Washington. March T-French and
British official statements were scanned
eagerly tonight by officials and military
men here for the first signs Of the counter
blow which they think will be delivered
soon by the allied armies in France. where
the rush of the German drive apparently
has been definitely checked.
All depends it Is said, upon the forces
the allies have been able to muster to
deliver the counter-stroke. There has
been every indication that both British
and French have been using reinforce
ments sparingly conserving their reserve
power for the day that Is just ahead.
The strategic reserve plans of the su-
preme war council at Versailles are now
to be tested, it Is indicated, for dis
patches from all quarters mention the
gathering Of the "army of maneuver''
for the work In hand.
Again tonight the map of the battle
line seemed to show that the assault
of the allies might come first. at least,
from some point on the French sector.
1t Is the view Of many officers to-night
that the Germans face the prospect OF
finding themselves firmly enmeshed in
the net into which they have been drawn
Around them stand the undaunted French
and British battle fronts and behind
those fronts there is gathering a storm
In the shape Of new and fresh armies
soon to be poured down on their tired
| and shell torn ranks.

PLANS TO CURB
WHEAT H0ARD|NG
Food Administration Will Take
Drastic Action against
Such Practice.
ALLIES NEED GRAIN.
French Soldiers Bread Ration Already
Cut-whent Held Back from Mills
In u. 3. for Higher Prices.

Washington, March T.-Information
that the bread ration of the French SOL
diers who are facing the onslaught OF
Germany's armies has been cut because
of the shortage of wheat has led the
food administration to plan drastic meas
ures to curb boarding in this country.
Wherever there is evidence to support
a suspicion that the Withholding of food
on which may depend the outcome of the
war is due to disloyalty or profiteering,
it was said tonight, prompt action will
be taken. State administrators have
been reminded that the food law author
ICES the requisitioning of grain in the
national emergency and have asked to be
dligent in their investigation of cases Of
alleged boarding. They will forward
the evidence obtained to Washington
where steps will be taken as the indi-
vidual cases warrant.
Wheat for the allies becomes more i'm
perative as the season progresses. be-
cause of the danger of loss in shipping
corn or potatoes after April /, when the
period of termination sets in. Up to
March II. the United States was 100000
tons behind in it's program of cereal eX-
port. Much of the program was to have
been corn. but the breakdown in railroad
transportation delayed shipment so that
wheat which earlier in the year had been
given priority had to be sent abroad to
avert famine.
AS only wheat and barley can be ship
ped after April /. the public is being
asked to cut its consumption of wheat
10 so per cent. of normal and even that
sacrifice barely will stretch supplies to
meet demand unless every bushel held on
farms and in warehouses is put on the
market.
The March report of the department
OF agriculture showed III .000,0OO bushels
Of wheat on farms and 6y,O0O.OOO bushels
in elevators. Since the agitation in Con-
gress to increase the price Of wheat to
$3.50. receipts at mills have dwndled from
100000 bushels to 3.0OO.0OO bushels a week.
The only requisitioning ordered SO far
has been In the case of two brothers of
German ancestry. living In New Mexico,
who refused all offers for wheat which
| they had raised and had bought. No
distinction was made by the administra-
ton between the grain raised by the two
men and that purchased and stored by
them.
Use of potatoes as Substitute for
wheat, which has been urged by the food
administra ton. will not be possible in
some sections because of traffic conges-
| ton.

Vocational Education Director Pleased
with Work in Burlington
Boys Get Credit.

Montpelier. March 27.-H. B. Smith. dis
trict director of the vocational educa-
ton for the federal government. has gone
to st. Johnsbury in company with Prof.

fishing a school in that village similar to

credit in their studies for half a days

establishment of a granite workers school
in that city after a conference with
the school board and granite manufac-
turers. This Is the first school Of the
kind ever established and 1t will be
watched with great deal Of interest.
Vermont is ahead of the other States
in the vocational education work; in
fact, none of the other New England
States is doing anything with the work,
1t is understood Maine did try it, but
has dropped back. Vermont's educational
system is fitted for the work, so that the
vocational education work harmonzes
without duplication Of effort. Mr..
Smith Is much pleased with the results
obtained in schools that have been insti-
tuted in Burlington and Proctor. along
with others not advanced as far as those.
