 Wheat Expected.
 to Break Record
OBy Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, April S.-Forecast by the department of agriculture to- day of a winte rwheat crop of 56O.000.- 900 bushels this year, brought optim- ism to the food administration. and the prediction was unofficially made that i: the spring wheat crop maintained the same ratio. the next harvest will furnish sufficient wheat to take care Of the needs of this country and the allies next year.
 The forecast indicates an increase Of 2.600000 bushels of winter wheat over last years winter crop, which was 41S,000.000 bushels. Assuming the spring wheat crop will yield the same ratio of increase, there will be total crop of S50,0OO. 900. or an in crease of about 2000O0.OO0 bushels over last year when the entire crop was estimated at 651.O00.O00.
 In addition there is an increase of 26,0O0.000 bushels in the prospective ry crop Or total prospective increase over last year of about 1000, ,0G0 bushels of bread grains.
 There is also hope of an increase Of 100000, 900 bushels of wheat over last year in Great Britain and France and also an increase in Canada.
 The necessity for rigorous saving between now and harvest is. however, In no way relaxed by harvest pros pectives, the public is warned.
 TOPEKA, April S.--With a reason ably favorable spring season, Kansas ha sa prospect of producing 1OSOOO.OO0 bushels Of wheat this year. according to a report sent out today by F. C.. Paxton. government field agent for Kansas.

Attack Forecasted

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, April S.-(By the Associ- ated Perss) s)-Throughout the day a tremendous artillery duel continued to rage at various points along the new battle front in the British zone. Par ticularly fierce was the gun fire below the Somme, where the Germans have been making such strenuous efforts to break through to the northwest and. occupy Amines.
 A German attack had seemed to be forecast by this great cannonade. but up to an early hour this afternoon no enemy infantry forward movement had been reported. The enemy lombard ment below the Somme began in the early morning and spread southward to the French sector
 The allied batteries came into ac- tion and as the hours wore on the contest between the heavier guns grew in intensity until the whole country side was rocking from the detonations.

Boches Would Broaden Field of Action and Reduce Men ace of Counter Assault; Ar tillery Duel Raging.

Facing American. French and Brit ish troops. strongly entrenched and well equipped for battle. the German army has for the moment given up it's direct drive against Aniens. After utter repulse in his efforts 10 smash through to his objective. the enemy now is attempting a new maneuvere which is intended 10 broaden the field of action and reduce the menace Of counter offensive that would nullify all the gains made by the Teutons since March 21
 Reports from the battle line in Pi- cardy disclose that the first stages Of this new German offensive are aimed at either side of the salient in the all lied lines. From La Eassee canal in the north. tO the sectors east Of LaOnS the great artillery forces of the enemy are laundering. with the lombard. ment deepening at places to the in- tensity of drum fire.

 At points the German efforts have gained. but these gains have resulted only in the formation of sharD sali- ents which are swept by rifle and ma chine gun fire and tempests Of shells whenever enemy troops aer seen form ing for an attack.

 There is a wholesome respect in the German general staff for the al- lied reserve ramy. which as yet ap- pears to have been drawn upon light ly 10 meet the Teutonic attacks The attack on the French lines southeast of Chauny is for the purpose ~f re- moving a menacing salient and the gaining of better protection tO the German left flonk.
