LONDON, July 23.—In a statementtoday on food problems Herbert C. Hoover, the American food administrator, spoke on the great proniem ot agricultural substitution which he said 'Was dominated by two critical and related factors, the first of which was time and the second expenditure in fodder and land productivity. "To increase our bttf production," continued Moover, "would require from $ to 6 years. On the other hand, we could bring about an enormous increase In our meats and fat production through swine within nine to twelve months."

Mr. Hoover said the American agricultural population has been urged Along this line and had been given assurance!: which had led to a wonderful increase in swine production. "I have in my possession the needs .of the Europeanu allies for meats," the "food administrator went on. "We can furnish this whole volume !n pork alone. We can summarize our present fjosition by stating that within the tiext twelve months, we can with less pressure of saving upon our people export 18,000,000 tons if necessary, to this Canada will add 3,000,000 tons."

After stating all anxiety had passed, Mr. Hoover continued "We are all building1 ffilps as TStrt of our submarine defense. We have now built up our food reserves In the nearest market as a further defensive. The call for ships for food next year is to be less than last an dconsequentily we will have more ships for American soldiers."

of Courton wood, British troops In an advance, took 200 prisoners and 40 machine guns.

French Ol# Line.

It is reported unofficially from London that Gen. Gouraud has driven the enemy back behind the old French line between the Suippes river and Massigne, a front of 12 miles. Coupled with French grains just east of Rheima last week, this report, if true, means that the French now. hold the same front lines as before the Oermaa offensive east and west of Rheims.

German troops within the salient South of the Veslo not only Have lost all their supply lines but are being subjected to a very great bombardment by big guns and French airmen. In the Vesle and Ardre valleys French bombers have dropped 50 tons of bombs. All the important railroad -nnvov centers likewise have been liberally deluged from the air and several Area Lave been observed.

German reports of the fighting nay that on Sunday all allied efforts were repulsed and that the Germans gained complete success in the battle. Admission Is made however, that the allies have advanced to the new German line north and northeast of Chateau Thierry.

Brttfsh Send Reserves.

Divisions hurried from the nortft to the aid of the German crown prince have been counter balanced by British divisions. When it became known some days ago that the Germans were sending troops from the British front toward the Ma rue, an equal number of British divisions were sent south by Gen. Foch and hav6 be?n making good gains in the fighting southwest oI Rheims.

On the remainder of the western front and in Italy the opposing troops have been occupied with raids and artillery duels more or less violent. British airmen in further raids into Germany have dropped bombs with effective results on Mannheim, Rottweil and Zweibrucken. Heavy explosions were caused in factories at the two last named places.

Huns Face New Losses*

WASHINGTON, July 23.—Steadily advancing by terrific attacks. American, French, British and Italian troops today appeared to be endeavoring to smash in the sides of the deep Sois-sons-Rheims salient through the center of which the Germans are withdrawing their forces. Both flanks of the pocket-like salient held by the enemy, according to advices, were being subjected to heavy artillery are and fierce infantry charges. The allied guns and aircraft appeared to be harassing the retreating Germans at every point-

The race between Gen. Foch in his attempt to close the mouth of the salient and the German command to retreat before the flanks were pushed in.

French Regain Ground.

I./OXDON", July 23.—^Franco"American troops are continuing to make progress on the battle front between the Otircq and the Marn«. Advices today are that attacks carried out by the French have restored all the ground which they lost on Monday In the region of GrisollesJ 7 miles northwest of Chateau Thierry.

The French, the advices state, stormed the heights north of Courcelles at 3 o'clock yefeterday afternoon. They are also holding the bend in the neighborhood of Chassons, as far as Trelcup. These towns are just tot the north of the Marne, to the east of Jaulgonne, taken by the Americans^

Treloup, at the latest S-Artees* «ll still in the hands of the enemy. Well informed opinion in London regards the situation on the battle front as going well for the allies. It is not expected, however, that the advance will be so rapid as previously, the Germans having now had plenty of time to get their reserves into position. They are also displaying a disposition to fight for all they are worth.

At 11 o'clock this morning the French were reported to have advanced a mile on a front of four miles.

It was thought, on the basis of the advices, that the attack on the Montdidier region might be on a wider front than the one mentioned.

Prepare^For Retreat.

PARTS, July 23.—(Havas Agency).!*— Reports of the fighting in SoisSons and Rheims salient appearing in the Paris newspapers tell of fires burning at Fere-Bn-Tardehois and Ville-En-Tar-denois. Some of these were, no doubt, caused by bombs dropped by the allied aviators, but it is believed that the enemy is destroying stores that cannot be moved back of the German defensive line along the Vesle river.

Fere-En-Tardenois is near the west flank of the salient while Ville-En-Tar-denois Is farther east arid is quite near the allied lines southwest of Rheims. The burning of stores In both places may be an indication of a general retirement from the salient by the Gerrtians.

British Make Advance.

LiONDON, July 23.—Advances In local operations were scored by the British. last night, today's war office report shows. The line was pushed forward slightly south of Hebuterne on the front between Arras and Albert and south of Merris and Meteren on the Flyanders' front. The British positions also were improved in the Hamel sector and north of Albert.

The German artillery showed considerable activity last ryght with gas shells in the Villers-Bretonneux sector east of Amiens, the war office annonunced today.

Skillful Tactics of French General Aids Allies' Victory, WASHINGTON, July 23.—Skillful use of French cavalry has marked Gen. Foch's tactics ever since he took over control of the allied armies as supreme commander, according to information reaching military circles here. The horsemen have played an important role in the whole battle ofi 1918, as the struggle which began. March 21, with the first German drive, has come to be known.

Gen. Foch took advantage of the great mobility of the mounted arm to throw them in whenever his advancing infantry units threatened to lose touch with each other in the heat and confusion of the contest. No gaps have been left where the enemy might strike back, for always the horsemen came up to fill the hole until the infantry line could be rectified and connected in a solid front.
