(WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs.l }

| WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
April 19.--Aside from Haig's with
drawal from the awkward Passchen-
daele pocket the British line looks
pretty much the same as three days
ago.
on the high grodund north and east
of Givenchy as this is cabled there is
some German activity. Won Quasi is
doggedly trying to flank Bethune but
apparently is unsuccessful. The Brit
ish shellfire is deadly.
Through rain and squalls and a cut
ting northeaster, the Germans are
keeping up their pressure on tRe Lys
front today.
Evidence of the importance that
Hindenburg attaches to the hills south
west of Ypres is shown by the pres
ence of the 117th, the 10th BaEarian
corps and the Alpine corps in THE sec
tor from Mount Kennel to Bailleul, a
distance of three miles. Every man is
from the German hill country. and
Won Bernhardt in command. From
Wytschaete to Bailleul is known as a
hill fighter.
Prisoners declare that the crossfire
of the British guns created bulge
in the salient before st. Vevant, in
flicting heavy casualties. The Ger
mans are underfed and are surprised
at the quantity and quality of the
British food.
AS ten British tanks started for
ward the Germans Killed their own
men by artillery fire TO srepulse the
tanks.

$2.40 WHEAT BILL
Would Add 81 a Barrel to the
Price Of Flour.
FIGHT IS NOT YET ENDED
Price Provisions Are Insusceptible OF
Being Administered In A Way
Advantageous Either To
Producer Or Consumer.

WashingtOn.-In vetoing the $685.
100000 annual agricultural appropria-
ton bill because of its amendment
fixing the Government guaranteed
minimum wheat price at $40 a
bushel, the President informed Con-
gress that he did not believe the
farmers of America depend upon a
stimulation of price to do their ut
most to serve the nation and the
world at this time of crisis"
The President said the patriotic
spirit of the farmers has been
worthy of all praise and has shown
them playing q most admirable and
gratifying part in the full mobiliza-
ton of the resources of the country"
He added that the bumper crops they
have raised this year have relieved
the anxiety of the nations arrayed
against Germany with regard to their
food supplies"
+ The House is expected to pass the
bill with the price-fixing amendment
eliminated, leaving the guaranteed
price at 1920 bushel. Some senators
from wheat-growing States were dis.
posed to urge the Senate to pass the
bill over the Presidents veto, while
others suggested that the wheat price
amendment might be added to the
s11,000,000 Emergency Agricultural
Bill to which is attached the prohi-
bition amendment.
The Presidents veto of the agricul-
tural bill was his third in two weeks.
The first disapproval was of the Post
Office Appropriation Bill because of a
rider for Government purchase of mail
tubes in eight cities, and the second
was the resolution authorizing the
extension of time in which the Gov
eminent may relinQuish short line
railroads.
