WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The al
lied offensive is we'll under way and
most important news is expected from
the battle front in Picardy within the
next "a hours, war department offie-
ials declared today. The counter Of
fensive will be the sharpest blow that
the entente has attempted. 1t is un-
derstood that not less than 100000
American troops will participate In
this movement which will probably
take the form of rolling up move.
ment.
According to the latest information
reaching Washington, the allies have
placed 100000 fresh troops along the
Picardy front. 1t is these men who
will be sent against the Germans in a
sweeping movement which is expected
to turn the tide of battle in favor OF
American Angle French forces.
The general staff is watching the
impending battle with the deepest in
terest. The very fact that, for the first
time in the war officers were willing
to admit that the American army was
to be represented in battle movement
by a large force was considered very
significant. The figures mentioned by
the officers who would discuss the
outlook-100. .000-was a real surprise
as it had not been believed that Gen
| eral Pershing would be able to spare
so large a number 1t is assumed
, here that this was the American con-
tribution to the reserve army created
by the supreme war council at Yer
sailles. This, army officers said to-
day, has not yet been in action. 1t has
been held until the Germans had ex-
hausted their offensive. The very fact

a portance. 1t means, they make 1t

High School Students
Will Raise Beets
Sixty Per Cent Pledge Themselves
This Morning Speeches by Alworth
and Thomas Being Made.

More than 60 per cent of the stu
dents at the Twin Falls high sihool
pledged themselves this morning to
raise sugar beets should land and
means be made available, following
talks on the subject by President w.
F. Alworth, of the state farm bureau,
and Chairman c. d. Thomas, Of the
Liberty Loan drive. The addresses
were pointed and able and made a
deep impression.
Immediately after the meeting, Pro-
fessor George e. Denman, instructor
in agriculture began work on plans to
TRIP to secure the needed acreage and
water. He stated at noon today that
he had no plan worked out yet, as the
proposition came in the nature of q
surprise, but he believed that the idea
was feasible and could be worked out
so as to prove successful.

March, ''it has been found necessary
to limit shipments to France to the

enormous proportion of an average of
$50 tons a week, and by reason Of their

Shipments of articles to members

will be limited to those articles re

does not mean to prohibit shipment

France, but to restrict the shipment t
the needs of the individual as he re
quires them.
