    'U.S.FALLS BEHIND
IN WHEAT OUTPUT
TO ALLIES ABROAD
Hoover Annonunces First of
Series of Steps Planned to
V Further Stretch Flour Sup
ply Available.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington. March 20. The food
administration tonight announced the
first of a series of steps, planned to
stretch flour supplies sufficiently to
feed the country and maintain ship
ments to the allies until the next'har
vest. Beginning with the baking trade,
which uses 40 per cent of the wheat
flour consumed in this country, the
administration has approved plars. for
a division of flour supplies between
shops, sharing of wheat substitutes,
and for a nation-wide educate nal
campaign to eliminate waste, which
will be worked out at a meetirg in
Chicago next Friday.
New Laws in Effect.
Further restrictions on the con
sumption of wheat, which were an
nounced last week as under consider
ation will be put into effect next.
Aside from the shortage of wheat
k in the United States another serious
problem is confronted by the food ad
ministration in making good its
promises to the allies. Not a single
week's shipment of grain and cereals
abroad has equaled the announced
program since January 1, so that there
remains a deficit of 812,000 tons ;c be
made up in addition to the regular
supplies.
Shipments reached a low poiui in
the week of February 1 to 7, as the
culmination of weeks of bad weather
which demoralized both railroad and
overseas transportation. Only 84,658
tons went abroad in that week. Im
provement has been shown since but
even with clearing weather if has
been impossible to transport the 270,-
uuo tons promised every seven days.
In the week from 1 to 8, the ship
ments were 212,154 tons, but dropped
in the second week to 201,938 tens
and the expected surplus over require
ments has not gone forward. Since
January 1, shipments have totalled 1,'
416,917 tons.
Strict Ration Abroad.
Inasmuch as the allied people
ibroad are being strictly rationed, of
ficials here do not contemplate any
curtailment of exports, nor do they
admit of a possibility of failira in
supplying the food necessary to carry
off the war.
With the approval of state adminl
strators, a technical service commit
tee will be appointed in each state
which in turn appoint district captains
and county leaders, all of them ex
pert bakers, who have learned to use
wheat flour substitutes m baking vie
tory bread. Meetings and demonstra-
tions will be held in every town and
village.
No bakers will have an excuse for
failure to produce victory bread of
the most palateable character after
the trade secrets pf, the Jeading mem
bers or the business have been im
parted to h im in the ODinion of the

ALLEGED JEWEL
BANDITS SEEK
TO CHANGE PLEA
' Attorneys for the five alleged auto
bandits, who arp charged with the
murder of Detective Frank Rooney,
filed a motion in district court Wed
nesday afternoon to withdraw the
plea of not guilty entered by the
bandits and to substitute a plea in
, abatement.
Counsel for the alleged jewelery
robbers contend no proper prelimin
ary examination was held, that the
state failed to prove that Rooney
came to his death at the hands of the
accused men and that the judge was
in error when he refused to permit
raiding of Frank Rooney's dying
statement at the preliminary trial.
If the motion is granted, the case
will revert back to the police court
for another hearing.
Women Buy More and Better
1 Clothes, Declares J. L Orkin
Although merchandise is difficult to
obtain and the prices are soaring,
women are buying more and better
clothes this year that ever before,
according to J, L. Orkin, of Orkin
Brothers, who has just returned from
a three weeks' buying trip in New
York.
The explanation for this is the fact
that women and girls are earning
money now for work which last
year was done by men.
Orkin Brother's business is double
this spring what it was last year,
said Orkin. The firm will soon move
into new quarters in the Conant hotel
building. Sixteenth and Harney.

President Wilson Agrees to Plan
Of Neville to Change Draft Quota
fVaiihinf ton Bureau ( The
Omaha Bm, IS It C Street.
Washington, March 20. (Special
Telegram.) Speaking of his confer
ence with President Wilson last eve
ning in conjunction with Representa
tive Dent, chairman of the militant
affairs committee of the house, Con
gressman Shallenberger said that he
read the president Governor Neville's
recent telegrtm with reference to giv
ing credit to volunteers and changing
the basis on which quotas are drawn.
Congressman Shallenberger analyzed
the Neville message and so successful
was he that the president acquiesced
in the position which Shallenberger
has taken about credit being given
for volunteers and the Nebraska man
was asked f prepare an amendment
to the resolution covering the matter

NAYY BILL CARRYING
BILLIONSAPPROYED
Greatest Money Measure Ever
Passed for Department;
Daniels, Much Pleased With
New Additions.
Washington, March 20. The annual
naval appropriation bill carrying
more than eighty-one billion, three
hundred million dollars, and authoriz
ing a war time increase in the navy's
enlisted strength from 87,000 to 180,
000 men, was reported to the house
today by Chairman Padgett of the
naval committee.
Secretary Daniels tonight expres
sed complete satisfaction with the
measure, saying the committee had
improved upon official recommenda
tions, as a result of a thorough study
of the department and its needs.
"The bill is larger vy over $800,000,
000 than any prior naval bill, carryng
roundly, $1,327,600,000," said Mr.
Daniels. "This sum together with
last year's bill and the supplemental
appropriations carried in the two
deficiency bills of the preceeding ses
sion make almost three billions of
dollars provided for the navy in a
little more than 12 months, while the
total expenditures of the navy from
1794 to 1916, inclusive, a period of
122 years, only exceeded this sum by
three hundred and sixty odd million
dollars. I make this comparison
better to convey what it means to
support, and operate the navy on a
scale demanded by the present con
flict. Much for Aviation.
"Almost $200,000,000 is provided
for aviation purposes, and while I
cannot make public the details to
which this large credit is to be ap
plied it represents what our experts
felt necessary, and will be used to
greatly increase the efficiency of the
excellent services the naval aviators
are preforming.
"The bill provides the money neces
sary to carry forward the three year
program of dreadnoughts, battle
cruisers and other types of ships al
ready authorized. It provides, as
recommended, another emergency
fundof $100,000,000 which may be

NEW NATIONAL SONG TO BOOST
LIBERTY LOAN IS APPROVED
Here is the national anthem for the third Liberty loan, which has
been approved by the loan committee of the New York federal reserve
district. It is intended to be used throughout the country. The music
was written by Mrs. George Barton French, the words by Charles W
Gordon:
"Our fathers fought for them, fought, bled and died.
"Heaven sent liberty our nation's pride,
"Then was our flag unfurled, emblem sublime,
"A light unto the world through endless time.
"Our last word still shall be, 'In God we trust,'
"Striving that all may see our cause is just,
"We fight for liberty and shall not cease,
"Till freedom's victory brings lasting peace.
"Now in our allies' land, breasting war's tide,
"Our sons march hand in hand, God is their guide
"Once more we hear the call 'keep the world free,'
"Rise, rise, and give your all, for liberty."
As now agreed to all volunteers will
be accredited to their respective
counties and states in the next call.
Congressmen Shallenberger cited
Hamilton county as a case in point.
It furnished its entire auota as volun
teers so haa to furnish no drafted
men, under the first call. But as the
bill was reported no credit for such
volunteering would have been allowed
any county, but under the Shallenber
ger amendment that will be changed.

URGE SCHOOLS FOR
U.S. ARTILLERYMEN
Brigadier General William
Snow Appointed to Reor
ganize Important
Branch.
Washington, March 20. The im
portance of accurate artillery borage
in trench warfare has so impressed
army heads that th War department
is considering plans to establish
schools of instruction, for artillery
men to supplement the work of the
service school at Fort Sill, Okl.
Ihe tort Sill school has oten
crowded to the limit since this rtiin
try entered the war, but the output
has failed to equal the demand for
trained officers.
Brigadier General William
Snow, an artillery officer of high
standing, recently was appointed
chief of artillery on the general staff
for the purpose ot reorganizing that
arm to meet the increased demards
He is .understood to have prepared
an expansion schedule which would
result in the turning over of one di
visional camp exclusively to in
struction in artillery work and the
establishment of. two or three add
tional centers for brigade instruc
tion.
Suggest Camp McClellan.
Camp McClellan at Anniston, Ala.
has been most frequently mentioned
as the logical site for the artillery re
placement camp. ,
Barrage fire, as perfected in
France, has been broucht to the
point where, over a front of several
miles, the wall ot bursting shells is
kept just ahead of the advancing in
fantry.
One ill-laid gun, or even one badly
set fuse, will cause the explosive to
burst among the troops. Unless the
guns are absolutely accurate along
certain portions of the front .wtere
No Man's land dwindles to a strip of
only a few yards, friendly instead of
enemy trenches will be deluged with

UNITY, ALLIES'
GREAT WEAPON
FOR 1918 DRIVE
Pooling of Reserves of All
Armies, Permitting Over
whelming Concentrations,
Key to New Riddle.
(By AMwIntril Pri.a.
Washington, March 20.--The key to
the 1918 riddle of the western battle
front is in the hands of the supreme
war council at Versailles.
Decision as to the time and place
of major offensives by the allies rests
with that body.
It directly controls also, officials
here believe, a new weapon forged
during the winter with which to make
effective its plan of grand strategy.
TO POOL RESERVES.
That weapon is believed to lie in a
pooling of the army reserves of all the
allies' armies, permitting overwhelm
ing concentrations at selected points
of attack.
American observers now are con
vinced that the German . high com
mand plans a defensive campaign, and
that the long talked of drive on Paris
or the channel ports has been aban
doned. The initiative, according to
this view, rests with the allied and
American forces. Communiques are
Deing closely scanned lor the first in
dication of any offensive operations
mapped out at Versailles.
WILSON URGED ACTION.
v The supreme council was created
under the urgent insistence of Presi
dent Wilson for aggressive action vhis
year, based on co-ordinated plans and
under the direction of snmle acencv,
The exact scope cf the council's au
thority never has been disclosed It
was said both by Premier Lloyd
ueorge and by Lord Curzon. how
ever, in explaining the status ci the
British imperial general staff, an.l the
commander in the field, Sir Dougias
Haig, that certain British forces had
been assigned to the council's con
trol.
Decision by the war council, of
ficers here believe, as to the field
where these and similar forces from
other armies are to be concenfra-ed
will show where allied blows the
German defenses are designed to tall.
If there is to be no German drive,
as the war department predicted ves
terday in its weekly war review the
council will not be forced to hold its
reserves for defensive purposes, and
can devote this new agency to at
tempts to smash weak points in the
uerman line.
Italian Front Hottest.
Opinion as to the sectors offering
the best opportunity for allied assaults
varies widely here. There is sub
stantial agreement, however, that the
Italian front may in fact becomt the
main theater of war this year, Austro
German concentrations, and nosvible
offensives on that front, also noted by
the weekly war summary, may repre
sent the recognition of this viw by
the German hieh command.
In any event, even though the su
preme council might have decided to
make the ettort to break through in
Italy, it is believed the first moves
in ine game would bt played in
France and Flanders. Drives with
all the appearance of being the real
front of them. Along the Chemin
Des Dames, another portion 'of the
front held by the Americans there
has' been a rather heavv olav of cas
shells from the German guns, but the
men from overseas have answered
four fold all the German projectiles.
Everywhere the airmen of both
sides are keenly active. Particularly
so are the British who, in addition o
numerous air raids hhinri tli.
bombing points of vantage and in-l
uui(j.iig in iiguia in me air witn
enemy aviators, since October have
carried out 255 flights, or 38 raids,
into Gerjnan territory. The impor
tant town of Mannheim has been
their last target, explosive bombs
exceeding a ton in weight have been
dropped there. Both sides are
claiming a heavy toll in aviators shot
down during combats in the air.
While scant news now is cominc
out from Great Russia, advices
received from Siberia seem to indi
cate a precarious situation there. It
seems definitely established that
former German prisoners are actively
aiding the bolsheviki in their inroads
into the country, and that in addition
to numerous outrages on the popula
tion, chaos reigns generally.

till IVIII III 1 I ttlUI.!
March 20. The center of military in
terest during the last few days has
passed from the Champagne to the
vicinity of Verdun, where both the
French and the Germans have broken
into marked activity.
In the Verdun region, the corre
spondent watched the execution of
two trench raids on a large scale car
ried out by the French on Saturday
evening and at dawn on Sunday, the
results of which exceeded all expecta
tions. Within 12 hours the French
had penetrated the remarkably strong
systems of German trenches in both
Cheppy Wood and Malancourt Wood
to a depth at some points of more
than a quarter of a mile. They de
stroyed 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 80 men,
while the French themselves suffered
only the slightest losses.
Germans Very Nervous.
General von Gallwitz's army, acting
under the direct orders of the Ger
man crown prince, displayed evident
nervousness under this pressure, as
was shown by the hurried arrival of
large reserves in motor lorries. They
were too late, however, to hinder the
French.
The ground was very unfavorable
to the French attack, owing to the
clay soil, in which immense shell
holes from former battles had become
filled with water to a depth of some
six feet. Among these the raiders
were forced to pick their way under
the constant peril of slipping, in and
drowning. The artillery preparation,
however was so overwchltning, that
the French met with only slight oppo
sition to their progress.
The Cheppy wood operation was
the easier of the tw , owing to the
fact that it was daylight, and within
five minutes of the assault erouns had
left the parallel groups of prisoners
could be seen running toward the
French lines. Eveivthinff was carried
out on a time schedule, and when the
French returned to their own lines
they had obtained about 80 prisoners,
Was Wonderful Eight.
The second raidthat upon Malan
court wood, was a wonderfully im
pressive spectacle, in the darkness just
before dawn. The correspondent
passed the night on a knoll opposite
the objective, from which nothing
but the occasional rattle of a machine
gun could be heard and only a flash
of light seen now and then until a
half hour before the time it had been
arranged for the attack to begin.
Then German gunners, evidently sus
pecting that something was up, let fly
salvos all along the line, after which
quiet reigned again until, with a
thunderous crash, all the French bat
teries opened fire simultaneously, the
signals flashed and the infantry went
over.
Colored lights showed that the
troops reached their objectives at va
rious times previously arranged. Then
groups of prisoners began coming
back and eventually the Frenvhmen,
after completing their work of
destruction, returned to their own
lines, bringing further squads of cap
tives, the total reaching cO.
Meanwhile, the German artillery,
which is very strong here, had opened
up with a heavy barrage and counter
battery fire, but without effect. Soon
after daylight, the front was agin
calm. ,
A nubmer of American infantry of
ficers attached for instruction to
French units were in the raids upon
Cheppy and Malancourt woods.
