America’s 1917 wheat crop, as fore-
—cast hy lhe department of agriculture,
will fall far below -ffbrmaj, despite a
prospect for a more than ordinary
yield pf spring wheat. An estimated
yield of 656,000,000 bushels will give
the country 16,000,000 more bushels
than last.year’s crop, but with the.
heavy demands from abroad it will
not meet the needs.
Men who would like to sorve'*their
country “lnrnredtately- are wanted as
substitute Inspectors of -field artillery

were captured, in addition to import-
ant positions that the Germans have
held for two and a half years. More
than 6,000 German, prisoners were
captured. The attack whs preceded
by the explosion of a million pounds
of explosives under the German
trenches, which threw the Germans
into consternation, followed by heavy
artillery fire. The explosions were
heard in London, more than 130 miles
distant.

The attack .was accompanied by nil
the arts qnd deviltries of latter-day
war. The enemy guns and gun crews
bat] been bathed for days In gas shells
sent over by the long-rouge British
guns.
The night was filled with red In-
cendiary llames. Shells that spurted
lead In streams crashed In appalling
numbers about the. heads of the de-
fending soldiers. High-explosive and
shrapnel fire was carried out with such
rapidity that the earth writhed under
the foree'of the attack.

dig a nil fill with ah overwhelming ox-
