WASHINGTON.-! April . -Shortage

Bituminous coal production in the

called a number of neal operators Into

railroads' contracts, as they expired.

some " cases, operators complained
that the prices railroads had offered

Iage of Folembray. The Berlin official statement claims
that 2,000 prisoners have been taken. .
That an attack of large dimensions is planned for the
front of Arras northward to Lens is considered probable
by military experts. As long as this front is in its pres
ent position the Germans cannot exert their full strength
on the line before Amiens. The cannonade in this section
may be the prelude of a massed attack such as bent the
British line during the latter davs of March.
"Americans Fighting?"
Notwithstanding the statement made on Friday by
Stephen Pichon, the French foreign minister that "Ameri
cans now are fighting in Picardy," nothing definite has
been learned about where General Pershing's men are lo-l
cairn, or wnat pan tney are piaying in tms Dame 01 oai
tles. On the American-held sectors near Verdun, east of
Lunevillc, ai!d northeast of Toul, only ordinary trench ac
tivities have been reported.
Little has been heard from the Italian front. The con
centration of Austrian troops in that theatre of the war is
considered warning that major activities may be looked for
there, probably in the mountainous country, but there bas
been no indication that the Teutons plan to launch thteir
attack at an early date.
Turkish troops are reported to be invading the Cau
casus, where they will take possession of the territories
which were given them under the peace treaty of Brest
Litovsk. The landing of British and Japanese forces at Vladi
vostok seems to have been merely for the purpose of polic
ing that city. No steps toward ejecting them have as yet

Newspapers which heard during
the day of the plans for suppressing

that the campaign propaganda needed

These protests were mot with the
statement that official reports from
federal reserve banks probably would
be hastened under the new pro
cedure. .
By the latter part of the week the
treasury expects to give its first or
flclal report on subscriptions.

CITIZEN WANT ADS
Beck in 1904 The Gtizen
carried a half-dozen Want
Ad every day which in the
course of a month amounted
to only a small sum, rarely
over twenty-five dollar.
Gradually The Citizen'
Want Ad patronage grew
a more and more people
learned the value of this
form of publicity. Today it
is not inffaquent for a single
advertisement to cost more
than an entire month's busi
ness amounted to fourteen
years ago.
Still there are many peo
pie who have not learned tol'
use Want Ads. They con
tinue to ask the delivery boy
to find them a cook or the
ice man to send a man to
cut the grass or dig up the
garden, and they continue
to be disappointed ninety
nine times out of a hundred.
Citizen Want Ads are
read by thousands of people
every day. People by the
hundreds are looking for
better jobs, a room, a piece
of real estate, a bargain in
an automobile or a motor
cycle. Many people have
furniture which they, want
to replace with newer and
better articles and just as
many people are anxious to
buy the older furniture.
Citizen Want Ads' bring
these people together. There
is nothing truer than the old
saying that Citizen Want
Ads Bring Results.

ESCHEW USE OF WHEAT.
WASHINGTON, April 8. Forecast
by the department of egrioultur to
day of a winter wheat crop of 680.
000,000 bushels this year brought
optimism to the food administration
and the prediction was unofficially
made that If the spring wheat crop
maintained the same ratio the next
harvest will furnish sufficient wheat
to take care of the, needs of this
country and the allies -next year.
Today's forecast.lndlcstes i an -increase
of 142,000,000 bushels of win
ter wheat over last year's winter crop, L
which was 41.oeo,ooo bueheis. As
suming the spring wheat crop will
yield the same ratio of Increase, there
will be a totsl crop of 850,000,000,
or sn increase of about 200,000,000
bushels over last year, when the en
tire crop was "estimated at 661,
000,000.
In addition, there is an Increase' of
28,000,000 .bushels in the prospective
rye crop, or a total prospective In
crease over last year of about 226,-
000,000 bushels of bread grains.
There is also hope of an Increase
of 100,000,000 bushels of wheat over
last year in Oreat Britain and France,
and also an Increase In Canada. The
necessity for rigorous saving between
now and harvest la, however. In no
way relaxed by harvest prospects.
