BY dssocfafcd Press

French and Americans have
crossed the Marine over a front
OF twelve miles between Jaul-
gonne, seven miles east of
Chateau Thierry, and Reuil near
where the German line crossed
the stream during the days
when the German offensive was
at its height.
On the western flank of the
German salient the allies have
taken Oulchy-le-Chateau, a mile
north of the Ourcq and Just west
OF Nanteuil-Notre Dame, a dom

British in Line
On the front between Rheims
and the Marine, the British have
taken Petit Champ wood near
Marfauv, where they took the
places formerly held by the
Italian forces.
News of these successes by the
allies comes in unofficial London
adVices. 1t shows that, in spite of
the fact that only artillery duels
were reported from the French war
office in its day statement, the allies
are making important progress all
around the salient in which the Ger
mans were caught by the terrific
morning.
A lull along the line might have
been expected at this time. because
of the stern resistance of German
reserves brought up by the enemy
ana ana the necessity of bringing up
heaNy artillery and supplies.
Forging Ahead Rapidly
IL appears, however, that the
momentum of the allies has not been
spent and that they are forging
ahead along virtually the entire front
of the battle.

GIVING UP WHEAT

While Gcmm troops are taking their little stores of wheat by force from Ukran- ian peasants, to feed the German people, it is interesting to observe a whcat-gathering movement now going on in this country. In a way, tue two cases are parallel. In an- other way, there's all the difference in the world.
 Many American farmers, too, have had wheat treasured up from last years crop. Altogether the surplus thus stored in pri- vatc bins amounted to a good many million bushels. It was natural enough to hold it. The farmers had raised it themselves Some of them says the Tacoma Tribune, were hoping for higher prices, some wanted to make sure of their own food supply some were concerned for next seasons seed
 The government asked them to surren- der it all, promptly, at the established price. The need was urgent, the food ad-
