CANADIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS, March 29. (By the Canadian Press, Limited.) All unlta and all ranks In the Canadian army look to the future and th possibility of their being em broiled In the offensive now raging on their right flank with high courage and a steadfast determination that they shall be worthy of the dominion and worthy of tha high record of Its forces. While nothing approaching battle like activity on the whole of our front haa yet developed, our army has been busy day and night. With moonlight nights there has been great aerial activity, our planea being busy behind the enemy lines, whilst hostile ma chines have bombed villages on our front. In some cases flying so low that they have swept the streets with their machine guns- Small parties of French civilians are to be met with on the road moving out of the ahell area, but there is no gen eral civilian evacuation, and hope and confidence has increased that the enemy In his desperate gamble for a decision has hastened his final defeat. North from Lens to Hill 70 we gave the enemy another heavy dose of lethal gas early this morning. No fewer than 1500 drums were projected on his front line communications in the battle areas. Thirty minutes later our guns opened up In a battle barrage which lasted for 15 'minutes and swept the enemy as sembly, support and front-line areas.

The price-fixing committee, of the Council of Nations Defense, today officially fixed maxi mum prices on fir lumber and fir logs when purchased for Government use. either for ships, -for airplanes or for general construction. This order is binding, more so than the voluntary price-fixing arrangement entered into last Summer. In general the order con tinues present prices in effect, but seemingly advances the average price of ship lumber from $35 to J40 a thou sand. The text of the official order follows: "After considering the information submitted by the Federal Trade Com mission as to costs of logging and the information submitted by the represen tatives of the loggers and lumber manufacturers of the Pacific North west, at the hearings granted them on March 15 to 18. and considering their request for a readjustment of prices on their products applicable to the Gov ernment's requirements, the price-fixing committee of the War Industries Board adopted the following rulings covering the maximum price of fir logs and lumber: Three Grades Provided For. "That the maximum price for fir logs in the Pacific Northwest, delivered at points where it has ben customary to make delivery to the f .a w m i 11 operators, be fixed at $19 per thousand for No. 1 logs, $15.50 per thousand for No. 2 logs and $10 per thousand for No. 3 logs, scale as to grade and contents to be determined according to the methods that have been customary in the vari ous districts for the past four or five years. These prices are a basis for logs up to and Including 40 feet in length. Logs over 40 feet in length are to be priced on the same basis for extra engths as has heretofore been estab lished by custom. In no case shall any- greater price than that mentioned above be allowed for logs of - those grades during the period of March 19 to May 31. 1918." The price-fixing committee also adopt ed a ruling on the prices of fir lumber, as follows: 'That the price of fir shin timbers. under the Ferris schedule, to the Emer gency Fleet Corporation be readjusted at item prices that will average $40 per tnousann for a complete schedule for both the rough and dressed items, snd that all sales of lumber for other ves sels under Government contract requir ing a schedule of lumber of similar type shall be furnished at not to ex ceed the same basis of prices. Aircraft Lumber Not Changed. "That the prices of fir lumber for aircraft, to both the United States Gov ernment and its allies, remain the same as those now in effect. "That the prices of all other items of fir lumber enum "rated in a certain 1st of the Douglas Fir Emergency Bu reau, effective between the dates of December l, 1917, and March 1, 1918, to all other departments of the Gov ernment be continued in effect to May 31. 1918. Prices named on West Coast Lum bermen's Association's yellow sheet. bearing date December 1, 1917, cov eting timbers 34 feet and longer, shall be canceled, and a price of $6 per 1000 feet over West Coast price list of May 1915. hereby Is made effective for imbers of above lengths until May 31, 1918. Prices on items not covered by above lists shall be priced on basis of nearest comparable item. It is nderstood that during; this time the loggers and lumber manufacturers II not reduce the scale of wages now being paid. Railroad Needs Considered. Whereas, the attention of the lum ber director has been called to the ne cessity for fixing price for railroads nder the supervision of the Govern ment. also to the necessity of includ ng all direct and indirect requirements of the Government, such as lumber required by box manufacturers who ave contracts with this Government for boxes, and all Government lumber replacement orders to retail dealers, Iho to the necessity of fixing prices to cover the programme of the inland aterways committee for the construc tion of barges by private barge build- the price-fixing committee hereby makes the following ruling: "That any railroad lumber shipping permit issued by the proper Govern mental authority or any order issued by the proper Governmental authority bearing on Its face the statement that the lumber is required for Government se of Government-controlled railroads for the construction of barges on nland waterways, shall be sufficient evidence to the lumber manufacturer that no greater price than the maxi mum price fixed by the Government shall apply.
