Spuds, Irish and Sweet,
Reach New High Point
In Stores Of Omaha

Another echo of the freight car
shortage. ..
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet,
sold on the local retail market yes
terday at $5 per bushel. This is the
highest retail price that "spuds"
have ever brought, according to old
experienced housekeepers and COM
mission men.
Omaha commission men laid the
luxury price of potatoes to the
freight car shortage and pointed out
that hundreds of bushels of pota-
toes in Minnesota and Wisconsin
could not be moved. Omaha gets a
large portion of her supply from
that region.
The severe winter and the short
age of potatoes caused by the var
were also attributed as causes of
the top price. In the east, it was
said, large quantities of potatoes
troze in storage.
Nine years ago potatoes sold on
the local market at S. cents a BUSH
el. In 1917 the price had increased
to $2.4O and gradually kept going
up until the peak price of Tuesday.

Mayence, April 6--French troops
entered Frankfort at S o'clock this
,Saorning, finding only a small Ger
man force, left there to afford po-
lice protection for the people. The
occupation of the city was merely
military march and was not at
tended, by any fighting.
Darmstadt was entered shortly
afterwards by French forces. The
German government garrison OF
that city had left at midnight to
avoid contact with the French, and
this morning was six miles east of
the city.
General De Goutte has issued a
proclamation to cities and towns
within the area to be occupied, de-
claring French troops have crossed
the Rhine to compel the Berlin gov
ernment to respect its agreement
with the allies and asserting there
is no hostile intent toward the peo-
pie of that region. The proclama-
ton says the French troops will
withdraw as soon as German gov
ernment forces have evacuated the
neutral zone and declares no one
will be affected by the presence Of
the French as long as order is main

query was put to Premier Millerand
by the Echo. de Paris last night, the
premier answering:

Occupation of Frankfort, Darn

movement.

support will be forthcoming as re-
