Washington, March s.-Shipments
and supplies for General Pershing' s
forces now are moving to France. on
schedule time. IL was learned today.
1t was stated that transportation re-
quirements Of the army are being
met by the shipping board, and the
immediate situation as to ships was
described as satisfactory.
In view of this aIsurance that the
United States will be able to main
tain its place as a fighting unit on
the battle front, reports from the
western front are being scanned more
eagerly than ever by officers here for
the first signs of the 1918 campaign.
It is felt that the opening OF major
operations in what President Wilson
ahas predicted will prove the decisive
year OF the great war Will not be
much longer delayed. Mud has been
the determining factor of many
previous western front operations. So
long as the ground is soft with the
rains, it is impossible to move for
ward great guns and necessary
transport trains to support an
advancing line. Even in Flanders.
however, indications this year are
that the ground will harden early in
the spring, permitting either side to
undertake the enterprises planned.
in previous years April has seen
offensive operations set in motion
by the allies. For that reason many
officers here seem to anticipate raid
ing and minor assaults before the
middle Of next month which will
show in themselves that the ground
is being mapped, information obtain
ed. and local strategic advantages
by one side or the other
in preparation for r. great effort.

HAY and SEED GRAIN

Minot, n. D., March s.--FIve hun
dred tons of nay and 10000 bushels
of feed oats have been purchased by
Chairman J. M Robe OF the Ward
county board OF commissioners for
ths benefit of needy farmers. The
hay and oats is on its way to vari-
Gus elevators throughout the county
from where the farmers will secure
the amount required.
All the feed had to be bought out
side the county, the hay coming from
Minnesota. but sufficient seed wheat
is available in the county. 1t is be-
ing purchased by the county. Already
65. 900 bushels of seed wheat has been
paid for by the county but it is posi-
Bile more will be necessary.
Chairman Robe announced last
evening that he thought it might be
to bond the county for
another 500, 900 to have sufficient
money to finance the big undertaking.
The county already has bonded for q
quarter of a million.

ply a war measure and must be
looked upon as such. A big wheat
crop is more essential today than it
has ever been before in American
history. There has been agitation
for a higher price OF wheat to en-
courage the growing Of wheat in
preference to other crops. The ef-
feet OF a higher price for wheat
would have been to have brought up
the price OF other grains, and we
would have the present situation
right over again. except that the
consumer would have to pay a high
er price for every cereal that he eats.
And the farmer must remember that
IL he does put in bumper crops of
barley and rye and oats and II he
does have a splendid yield next fall
he has no way of knowing what he
is going to get for IT, He does know
to a penny what every bushel OF
wheat he raises will be worth; he
knows he can't glut the market with
wheat; he knows his wheat will be
worth a fixed price. no matter il ev-
