FOOD GAMBLERS

Suggestion of Meatless Days

Causes Price Drop
s
By Associated Press
Chicago. April 10. —J. Ogden Ar
mour's suggestion of meatless days iind ]

said to have influenced a sensational
break in prices on the Board of Trade

initial loss was subsequently recovered.
Wheat declined five cents and pro
visions l'rom 55 cents to 11.55.
May wheat, which sold at $2.15 last

early Miles. July sold at SI.BO and Sep

5 cents to $1.22. July pork which

clined $1.55. July lard dropped $1.50
from the previous final figures of $20.50.

GERMAN LINES
ARE WAVERING
[Continued From First Pa#c]
describes the importance of the Vimy
heights:
"They are admittedly the bastion
of the enemy's western line. Whatever
else has been allowed to go he held
Vimy ridge with grim resolve and
lavished upon it all the arts in fortifi
cations and defensive skill that the
war has taught him. Upon it hinges
the whole strategy of the enemy's re
treat in the west.
Vimy Important
"With Vimy firmly held he can
swing his line farther south slowly
back, until each part of it reaches
the position where he has a mind' to
stand, and he can cover the French in
dustrial districts upon which he de
pends much for supplies. But with
Vimy gone the defense of these dis
tricts can hardly be maintained. The
pivot of the whole retreat shifts and
gives backward and is in instant risk
of fracture."
The issues depending upon British
ability to hold the ridge are therefore
immense. At the moment there is
nothing to suggest a doubt that the
ridge will be held, but the battle is
still fiercely continuing and there is
little disposition here to indulge in
confident predictions.
Tjook For Retirement
Nevertheless the opinion is express
ed that if the Germans are definitely
driven from the ridge without hope
of re-attacking, they are likely enough
to be compelled to acknowledge defeat
and retire to what is called the Meuse
line, running from Verdun through
Mezieres, Maubeuge and Lille.
In the meantime the fighting goes
on over a front of about fifty miles,
roughly from Lens to St. Quentin. the
core of attack bcyng around the north
of Arras. As far as information goes
everything is going well for the Brit
ish and justifies their sanguine hopes,
but the comments to-day generally
including a warning not to allow these
hopes to run too high. The enemy la
known to have great reserves at hand
and an iron compulsion binds him to
make every effort to avoid defeat. The
papers warn the country that it should
await the event in a spirit of sober
expectation and that it is not the time
for exuberant boasting.
MARINES GO TROI'GH
Four trains with marines en route
