The expected offensive ou the west front i nearly ready to burst forth again, according, to Information reaching the war de partment today.

The cannonading which presumably came rrom the west . front, was also audible In London. ' London, June 28. The Germans soon will launch their final, Bupreme effort it was learned from an authoritative source today. It is certain that a partial offensive will be strted against the northern portion of the British front. Where trh main blow will follow is not known but it probably wlU te between Eheims aiid the Ardennes region, with, subsi diary attacks simultaneously along the whole front If the new drive should fall In this area, it would be straight southward on a front of more than 75 miles, embrac ing both Eheims and Verdun. The Brit ish in th) Eheims region, the Ameri-Ci'-is in the Verdun and Toul sectors ?fld the French between, would bear the brunt of the b.'ow. Austria's offensive power has been broken and sho will be unable to re new her Italian drive for a consider able time, miles aid is furnished by Germany. There are no indications that such a!d is likely. An Italian cauntsr offensive in ths mountain area, on .a major scale is due, it was declared. In addition to the large forces of Amer!c?aifl between VeiUun and St. Mihiel and eastward of St. Mihiel which would be involved in case the -American ).el't wing were Included in such a drive, it is probable .that a small force of our men would be. in the exact flentsr of the fighting.

This information came to the Ore gon administration in a telegram from tho food administration at Washing ton. The telegram stated: "it U understood that tho shipping board finds ithat the rate of $3.50 per ton upon wheat from Pacific coast Krts to the Atlantic has proved to work out ait a lo, and that the board ill find it necessary to advance the raite. The matter is still under consid eration. furthermore, the lmurance rates on both fhipg and cargo have been trc hnertilously advanced, and the insur ance ra e on wncmt proiiufits have in creased by virtue of submarine activi ties on the Atlantic seaboard, further increasing i;he -o.t of the sea haul from Pacific northwest ports to Atlan tic ports. "The net result is that it may cost as much as 13 cents a bushel more to transport wheat from Paific norths west ports to Atlantif ports than has been contemplated. In the meantime, the advance in railway rates may in crease the pri"e cf wheat in Xew York from ten to 12 cents a bushel. "The fooi administration Sntends to maintain the $2.20 price at Pacific lertg despite the increased cost of sea haulage. "The in rencd price of wheat at New York, owing to increased railway rates, will more or less effect the in creased ?a haulage cost."
