No infantry activity developed. Along the Somme the British are eontinuing various slight forward movements to gain advantageous po- sitions. Damery and Parvillean were eaptured yesterday. The situation north of the Ancre is not clear. No further widespread withdrawals are reported in this re- gion, altho the enemy seems to have abandoned several small forward po- sitions to British patrols that crossed the Ancre.

Efficiency of Our Conservation | A letter to President Wilson, writ- | ten by Herbert Hoover, United States Food Administrator, states that it is |now possible to’summarize the ship- |ments of foodstuffs from the United | States to the Allied countries during the fiseal year just closed—practi- cally the last harvest year, the ship- ments amounting to roundly $1,400,- results should fee a very definite sat- vest not jstrength fully maintained, but with} jonly temporary periods of hardshi | The year’s accomplishment |clude all shipments to allied coun- jtries for their and our own armies, |the civilian population, the Belgian relief and Red Cross. The figures! indicate the measure of effort of the| |American people in support of Allied} food supplies. The entire food ship-| ments were purchased thru or with) the collaboration of the Food Admin-| listration. | “The European Allies have been! compelled to sacrifice more than our! own people, but we have not failed to load every steamer since the delays of the storm months last winter. Our} contributions to this end could not have been accomplished without ef- fort and sacrifice, and it is a matter of further satisfaction that it has been accomplished voluntarily and in-; dividually. It is difficult to distin- guish between various sections of our people—the homes, public eating’ places, food trades, urban or agri- cultural populations—in assessing) credit for these results, but no one will deny the dominant part of the American women,” says Mr. Hoover.} MEATS AND FATS | The shipments of meats and fats (including meat products, dairy products, vegetable oils, etc.) to Al- lied destinations were as follows: Pounds Fiscal year 1916-17 2,166,500,000 Fiscal year 1917-18___3,011,100,000 the| Increase. 844,600,000 Our slaughterable animals at the| beginning of the last fiscal year were} not appreciably larger than the year before, apa Particulars in hogs; they were probably less. e increase in| shipments is due to conservation and) the extra weight of animals added by our farmers. The full cffect of these efforts began to bear their best re- sults in the last half of the fiscal year, when the exports to the Allies were 2,133,100,000 pounds, as against 1,266,500,000 pounds in the same period of the year before. This compares with an average of 801,- 000,000 pounds of total exports for the same half years in the three-year pre-war period. 1 CEREALS In cereals and cereal products re- duced to terms of cereal bushels, our shipments to Allied destinations have been: Bushels | {Fiscal year 1916-17____=259,900,000 Fiscal year 1917-18__-~-340,800,000 ANCTORSO Rc oS ek swe 80,900,000 Of these cereals our shipment of The boys from Fort Russell are|che prime breadstuffs in the fiscal ‘made up of young fellows from Colo- rado and Wyoming who have enlisted yoluntarily in the regulars, and who are undergoing preliminary training at the Fort near Cheyenne before be- ing sent across the water to France.

The total ship- {ments to Allied countries from our |last harvest of wheat will be, there- fore, about 141,000,000 bushels, or {a total of 154,900,000 bushels of | prime breadstuffs. In addition to this, jwe have shipped some 10,000,000 jbushels to neutrals dependent upon us, and we have received some im- | ports from other quarters. A large jpart of the other cereals . exported have also gone into war bread. | WON BY SAVING | It is interesting to note that since \the urgent request of the Allied food \controllers early in the year for a further shipment of 75,000,000 bush- jels from our 1917 wheat than orig- inally planned, we shall have shipped to Europe or have en route nearly 85,000,000 bushels. At the time of this request, our surplus was already more than exhausted. This accor plishment of our people in this matter stands out even more clearly if we bear, in mind that we had available in the year 1916-17 from net carry- over and as surplus oyer our normal consumption about 200,000,000 bush- els of wheat, which we were able to export that year without trenching on our home loaf. This last year, however, owing to the large failure of the 1917 wheat crop, we had available from net carry-over and production and imports, . only just about our normal consumption, Therefore, our wheat shipments to ‘Allied destinations represent approxi- mately savings from our own wheat bread.
