GERMANS MAKE CLAIMS
BERLIN, via. London. 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.

Rheims we fought our way toward

thirtySsix enemy airplanes.

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. This condition.
