June 1. -"South of the Oise," says the offic ial report from German headquarter today, "southwest of Chauny. the troops of General Hoffmann and General von Francois threw the n- emy out of strong positions near Cuts and south of Blerancourt. - "From the northern bank of the Alsne we advanced, amid violent loc al fighting as far as Nouvron and Fontenoy." "Desperate counter-attacks were deliveried by the French with fresh divisions which were brought up by railway and motor cars, against the troops advancing across the Soissnn Hartenhes road. ' In the evening bit ter fighting was decided in our favor. ''We pursued the retreating enemy as far as the heights to the east or Chaudun, Thierry and Blamr. Nenilly Heights Rahed. "On both sides of the Ourcq river we have crossed the boutsons-Chat rau-Thicrry road and, again and again breaking the, enemy's resist ance, have reached the heights of Meuilly and north of Chateau Thier ry. Between Chateau Thierry and east of Dorinans we have reached the Marne. "From the Marne to west . cl Rheims we fought our way toward the Verneuil-Ollzy. Sarcy, Champigny line. "Yesterday's fighting again result ed in the bringing in or several thous and prisoners and rich booty. In the last two days we have shot down thirtySsix enemy airplanes. i "The artillery battle revived fre quently. - IXMal attacks by the enemy south of Ypres failed. Representatives of the prune pool of tbe Salt-m Fruit Union gathered at the office yesterday for a conference with regard to the prune situation in this section. Comparison of notes ana observations among the growers indicated that the crop conditions throughout the section were thus rar very encouraging. The prunes are well set In almost every orchard and it only waits for the weather to decide upon the size and qualitv of the fruit. About 1800 acres are rep resented In the pool, v - The principal feature of the meet ing was a report and. series of esti fates from Manager ; R. C. Paulas, wha called attention to the fact that theovemment had Urst set May 1 as the date limit for making of prune contracts by packers. Later the fed eral authorities advanced the date to June 1. But within .the past few days another announcement has com?? i mm me iooa aamtmstralion put ting the contract, date Jply 1&. j IVwtponement Help. This postponement Is really to th advantage of the packers, as It will enable them to make better arrange ments as to" sizes and grades, and also help to eliminate the speculative element from the marketing.. It is conridered probable that the govern ment will not only fix a price on the prime crop bnt define the margin of profit that may be taken by the deal ers, as has Veca done in th ecase of wool. Mr. Paulas stated that 'the esti mated crop In California past year was 235.000.000 'pounds. "while -the northwest crop amounted to about 20.000.000. making a total of 255.- 000.000 pound. This year the Cal I torn la crop Is estimated at 150.000.000. on account of weather conditions, while the northwest crop Is estimated at 50.000.000. While this is a gratifying showing for Ore gon, it Indicates a, total shortage of about &e.Oe.ffr.O "pounds from the pack of last year.
