Likewise, ouih of the Ai.sne, the Jnvadcrs are meeting with iniexiect ed opposition, and. nothwitlii.stan.I Ing the large numbers of men they have thrown into the bailie,., their pains have been relatively .rtnall. Kast of Soissons they penetrated to the village of Laversine but! were unable to advance on any of the other sectors, although at one time north of Courcy. French trenches were entered under the force of the Impact. A counter-attack resulted in these trenches being recaptured almost Immediately. The sole re sult of the: enemy's attack on the Montdidier-Noyon line up to the pres ent is that he has by the violence the strategic retreat of the French from the region west of the stream, blotted out the awkwaid Noyon sa lient and brought the battle front more into direct alignment with that beginning at the Aisne. And a ter rible price has been paid by the Ger mans for this rectification of the line. Whether they are prepared agtin to offer huge sacrifices . in bending back the other salient from the, Aisne to Villers Cotterets and biing the Picardy and Aisne battle fields into a more continuous front remains to be seen. In addition to the large number of prisoners taken by the allied forces, ten cannon, four being heavy weapons, anu a, large number of ma hands.

F. V. Stensloff. if the dealers acqui esce In a request recently sent out. Dealer- ar? to shnt off all sales of wheat flour for a period of at least two months, beginning with Saturday, Jnne 15. It Is expected that bakers will continue to ..irn o it their regular quantity of breeds on the 60-40 basis, but are requested not to Increae their production to any great extent. It must-also he erpected that logging camps, fruit picking camps and similar aggrega tions of workers will be excepted. There is of course nothing of na tional or state authority back of thU ruling of the administration, but it is In line with the wishes and policy of V. B. Ayer, state food administrator, and It is hoped that dealers and con sumers will rise to this exigency with the same patriotic spirit which they have manifested in other move ments. One of the chief objections to the wheatless basis has been the exorbi tant prices demanded for substi tutes prices that are not altogether the result of scarcity but it is ex pected that Marlon county will soon er or later feel the effects of a gen eral movr nvnt throushout the coun try looking to a standardizing of the prices of all products. If this move ment is carried through in Marion county committees will be appointed in every locality to co-operate with the food administrator in inducing or compelling the entire body rf dealers to bring their prices to a basic minimum which will leave them a fair margin of profit but allow m unfair advantage to be taken.
