Western front fight- ing was reported by press correspond- ents as being the most furious since the days when Germany's war ma- chine first started its march through Belgium and northern France. The Teutons were said to have re-. sumed their former tactics of massed attacks, counter-attacking furiously and sacrificing thousands of lives in desperate but futile attempts to halt the big push of the Franco-British armies. The official statement today from London, as based on Field Marshal Haig's report, told of the capture of 3,000 German prisoners since Monday and the continued advance of the British forces between the Cojeul and Scarpe rivers. Fifty-six officers were numbered among the prisoners. On the - front of nearly nine miles from Oppy to Croisilles, fierce fighting continued tonight. As a result of the most recent British advances Ger- man positions on the Wotan line are said to be endangered" Paris reported violent fighting along most of the French front with slight French progress in the Aisne and Champagne sectors. Berlin announc- ed the repulse of strong British at- tacks and heavy losses of men for the allies. The German statement further reported the capture of 650 prisoners in German counter-attacks and the destruction of 39 enemy aero- planes and one captive balloon in air engagements since Monday.

Theodore Roosevelt will arrive in Chicago on Saturday to deliver what he says will be the speech of his life. Plans for his reception were completed yester- day. The colonel will be welcomed at the depot by a committee of 250 citizens, members of military organizations, and foreign societies. He will be es- corted to the Congress hotel by the famous Black Horse troop of Culver Militaty academy, 100 jackies from the Great Lakes Naval Training station, and a section of the high school volun- teers of America. Colonel Roosevelt at noon will at- tend a luncheon at the Hotel La Salle, at which Governor Lowden will speak. In the evening he speaks at the amphi- theater at the Stock Yards. H. N. Merrick of Armour & company, presi- dent of the National Security league, will preside. Governor Lowden will be one of the speakers. Washington, D. C., April 25.-Theo- dore Roosevelt has written a strong letter to Secretary of War Baker in answer to a letter which the secretary is said to have written to Colonel Roosevelt refusing to accept the colo- nel's offer to raise an army division to go to France immediately. Although this letter could not be ob- tained from the secretary of war today and since Colonel Roosevelt did not wish to make it public without Secre- tary Baker's consent, it may be that the public will be deprived of the joy of reading what is said to be one of the strongest letters Colonel Roose- velt ever wrote.

Packard and State "Industrial expansion -in ancient Greece was the cause of the slave trade and not the effect," said Prof. W. S. Ferguson of Harvard university yesterday in his lecture, "Greece, Past and Present; Economic Contrasts." "It cannot be said that slaves were exploited, inasmuch as their masters aided them to produce the works which now exist, even though in ruins. "The life and manners of the peo- ple is now radically different from what it once was. Instead of using the amphitheater, the cafe is chosen as the scene of their amusement. "Delos is the Pompeii of Greece. Here and also at Amphipolis, it can be seen how greatly the modern dif- fers from the ancient. The traveler is stirred with pity when he gazes at the ruins of the ancient civilization. Sparta was noted in antiquity for its lack of durable monuments, and yet a large portion of her former grand- eur still remains." ROOT MAY REPRESENT U. S. IN NEW RUSSIAN REPUBLIC Washington, April 25.-Elihu Root will head the American commission to Russia if he will consent to under- take the duty. It became known to- day that the president has completed the selection of the principal mem- bers of the mission. The names of the men tentatively chosen to make up the commission will not be made public until they have been formally requested to serve and have accepted. It was said today, however, that the men whom the president has in mind are all distinguished in their particu- lar lines and together will make up a commission which will indicate to the Russian government and people the deep interest in their welfare held by' the American government. Among those besides Mr. Root whose names have been mentioned in the pre- liminary discussions are Oscar Straus, former secretary of commerce and la- bor; Edward N. Hurley, former chair- man of the trade commission, and Henry Morgenthau, former ambas- sador to Turkey. 12,000,000 MEN TO START FARM DRIVE Secretary of Labor Wilson Announces Plans of Government for Summer Washington, April 25.-Plans for p CHAIRMAN TE OA' AJESTIC CO1ITTEE MAKES PLEDGE E at Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane Will No Potatoes Until Spring Crop Is Planted SARn SAAHBRNAR. supplying 2,000,000 workers for the country's farms this summer were an- nounced today by Secretary of Labor Wilson. Working with the agriculture department, the labor department's employment service will comb the country for men to till the soil. A preliminary census has disclosed that some 2,000,000 men will be needed. Orders went from the labor depart- ment today to 20 zone offices and 90 employment stations scattered through the country to begin preparations for finding that number of men. The first efforts are expected to produce from half a million to a million. Assist Workers The vast army of farm workers to be mobilized will be assisted by a great army of boy workers, plans for whose mobilization were completed by the labor department yesterday. "It is hoped," the labor department announcement says, "that with the as- surance these arrangements give of ample and steady supply of labor, the farmers of the United States will largely expand their planting opera- tions. The department of agriculture will find holes in the labor supply and the department of labor will be free to extend its fullest powers in locat- ing workers to fill them. In this way we trust that a maximum of result at a minimum of time and effort expend- ed may be expected." Plan Survey The farming survey by the agricul- ture department will be made largely by' thousands of county agents and agritultural demonstrators. Co-opera- tion will be given by state agricultural institutions, other state agencies, vol- untary associations, and individual farmers who are willing to help.

This is the pledge the women of Michigan are being asked to take by the Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane, state chairman of the Michigan woman's committee for patriotic service. Mrs. Crane has started a state-wide move-,; ment to secure seed potatoes for the farmers and has established a clear- ing house for seed potatoes in this city. Mrs. Crane, who is an authority on ty sanitation, and meat inspection and is ofttimes called "the municipal housekeeper," says: "We cannot af- ford to eat seed potatoes. No matter if you are a billionaire, you cannot afford to eat them. No one can eat seed potatoes at this time." WOMEN AMD CHILDREN TO ENLIST IN FOOD CAMPAIGN Washington, April 25. - A nation- wide movement to enlist all women and children in the food production campaign was set afoot today by the board of managers of the National Congress of Mothers and Parent- Teacher associations. Mrs. Henry Harmon of Vermont, chairman of the farm and garden committee, was ap- pointed to travel as organizer and in- structor in co-operation with the de- partment of agriculture.
