On the French Front in Monday, Mar. 18.—(By the Press)—-The center of mi est during the last few da ed from the Champagne to the ity of Verdun, where both the French and the Germans have broken into marked activity. In the Verdun region the corres- pondents watched the e i two trench raids on a out by the French on Satur ing, and at dawn on Sunda: sults of which exceeded all exp tions. Within twelve hours the French had penetrated the remark- ably strong systems of German trench es in both Cheppy wood and Mala court wood to a depth at some poin' of more than a quarter of a mile. They destroyed all the enemy works, his blockhouses and shelters, which had taken the Germans three years to con- struct, and brought back two groups of prisoners, each comprising eighty men, while the French themselves suf- fered only the slightest losses.

The correspondents, it is stated, are ex- | pected to begin their journey toward the scene of the purposed fighting Wednesday. Probably not unconnected with this latest announcement of the Germa is the apparent sensitiveness display- ed by the German imperial chancellor, ; Count Von Hertling, over the declin- ation of the United States and entente | to accept at its face value Germany's latest proffer of peace. Running th gamut from Germany's good inten- tions to the fate that ulti ely will befall the all the chancellor ended his address with the well-worn ad onition that for all future bloodshed the allies must accept full responsi- bility.

C., Mar. 29.—The food administration Tuesday announce ed the first of a series of steps plan- ned to stretch flour supplies suffici: ently to feed the country and main. tain shipments to the allies until the next harvest. Beginning with the baking trade, which uses forty percent ot the wheat flour consumed in this country, the administration has approved plans for a division of flour supplies between shops, sharing of wheat substitutes, and for a nationwide educational campaign to eliminate waste, which will be worked out at a meeting in - Chicago next Friday. i Further restrictions on the con sumption of wheat, which were an- nounced last week as under, consider- ation will be put into effect next. Great Deficit to Pledges Aside from the shortage of wheat in the United States, another serious’ problem is confronted by the food ad-~ | ministration in making good promises ‘o the allies. Not a single week's ship- ment of grain and cereals abroad has | equalled the announced program since January 1, so that there remains a de- j ficit of $12,000 tons to be made up in | addition to the regular su,+plies.
