ues to show it's influence in the mar

and red Fife at orc, though this Is not
the top figure for the period, there
having been a receding tendency Incl
dent to the sharp declines at Chicago
Tuesday, incident to European news
Flour-There is a continued fair de-
mand for patents, because of the light
carry-over into the new crop season
on the part of jobbers and retailers,
and prices are holding at the top. Ex-
port is quiet and rather unsettled, ow-
ing to the high prices, difficulty in
procuring shipping accommodations
and unfavorable financial conditions
in the oriental market. Prices are
rather more stable at around 81 for
club and $4.1O for bluestem cutoffs.
Feed - Continued advances are
noted. Barley has been advanced 3
per ton, partly believed to be specu-
lative. Corn is up sharply to $40,
with oats still maintaing the recent
advance. Millfeed has been again
sharply advanced, bran going to $40,
with shorts at $32. Alfalfa hay is up

SIXTH WEEK OF WAR
BROUGHT VAST TRANSITIONAL.
TIoNs TO BOTH GERMAN AND
ALLIED TROOPS.
TODAY GERMANS RETREATING
British Win on Marne-French Com.
mander in Chief Reports kaiser's
Troops on the Run, Abandoning
Wounded, Supplies, Prisoners.

London, Sept. 14.-The sixth week
OF the war has brought a vast trans.
formation. The pursued are now the
pursuers. The advance of seven Ger.
man armies through Belgium into
France met an unexpected force at the
Marine river. The army of General
Won Kluck, which so long battled to
turn the allies western flank, was it.
self slowly and steadily outflanked. Its
retirement before the small but hardy
British army turned the tide of battle.
Today, if the French official reports
are correct, all the German armies ex.
cept that facing Verdun and a few
miles southwest are ~retreating. Gen
eral Won Kluck's army, which a week
ago was a few miles to the southeast
of Paris, has retired more than 60
miles to the northeast, while on the
extreme right the army of the Bava-
rian crow prince, which was attack.
ing the French eastern army from
Nancy to Epinale, has fallen back to
the frontiers of Lorraine, permitting
the French to reoccupy Luneville and
several other towns.
General Joffre, the French comman-
der in chief, pictures the retreat as
hurried, if not d~isorderly, with the
Germans abandoning wounded, sup
plies and prisoners.
Reversal of Army Roles.
Sunday, Sept. 6, was the darkest day
of the war for the allies. The French
government emigrated from Paris to
Bordeaux in a long, sad procession of
motor cars. An attack upon the cap
ital appeared imminent and the main
German force had hammered a huge
wedge into France between Paris and
Verdun, with it's center some miles
south of that line.
The French people trembled with
the question whether their army was
not a beaten army; whether the his
tory of 1870 would repeat itself.
The battle of the Marine which was
decided in a week, is regarded by
military critics as the most marvellous
reversal of roles of two armies known.

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

Varying reports continue character.
istic of the commercial and industrial
situation. While the volume of trade
locally is holding at about s~easonable
dimensions, the tendency toward hest
fancy that prevails in the matter of
prices and supplies, together with the
higher rates for money on commercial
paper, all tend to hold the situation
from making any pronounced develop
ments of a favorable character. Rela-
lively speaking, the most favorable
conditions prevail in agricultural com
munities. With a bumper wheat crop
secured, and with growers having dis
posed of enough of their grain to GOV
er current bills and provide for i'm
mediate requirements at the prevail
ing high prices, collections are decid-
eddy improved, and demands for mer-
chandise have been stimulated mate
rally.
Lumber trade has been seriously in
terfered with by the falling off in ex-
port demand, because of the war, and
a large number of mills are operating
with curtailed output, awaiting the
advent of improved conditions. 1t is
expected that there will be an excel
lent business in yard stocks, follow
ing the marketing of the big crop,
with the high prices received, but the
fact that the railways are not able to
secure money on a satisfactory basis,
is preventing the prosecution of i'm
provements by one of the greatest
consumers.
Provisions.
Butter-The butter market holds at
last weeks values and for the season
there are excellent supplies, produc-
tion having been maintained well in
xce of previous years, in spite of
the dry weather, with practically no
butter coming in from eastern sources
Eggs-The egg market is un-
changed with enough offerings to meet
requirements, though the situation is
relatively firm, and it is probable that
rains may curtail production some
what.
Poultry-Values have eased off an
other cent in hens and chickens this
week, the figures being 12c for the for
mer and 13c for the latter, live weight
to the producers, while the dressed
wholesale price on hens is Ice and 100
on chickens. Receipts have been suf.
ficient to cover requirements.

Apples-In this division cooking
stocks are still quoted at 50@75 and
fancy $1@1.25, while crab apples are
jobbing at s5c@$1 per box, but at
that the market has not as yet
reached a settled basis.
Other Fruits-Lemons have eased
off a little, the quotations being $3.50
for fancy and 1925 for choice. Black
berries have firmed up to $1.50, with
dewberries out of the market. Can.
taloupes are cheaper at 50c@$1.25,

Pears have receded in value at the

Gays, it was learned Sunday, an in

government al to whether Germany
desires to discuss terms of peace with
her foes.
No reply has come, but on it's tenor
depends to some extent whether or not
the informal peace movement inaugu-
rated September 5 can be pursued fur
ther with Great Britain, France and
Russia.
The inquiry was not a formal n
such as President Wilson's original
tender of good offices, but was an eff
fort of an official character to deter
mine whether Germany's reported
Willingness to talk peace was based
on fact.

Await Emperor's Reply.

Notwithstanding the vigorously
phrased statements through official
channels last week that Great Britain,
France and Russia would not make
peace until they had decisively de-
feated Germany, it was admitted in
many quarters that a favorable answer
from Emperor William to the Ameri-
can governments inquiry may change
the entire aspect of the situation. Such
a reply, it was agreed, would set the
machinery for peace-making in mo-
ton, even though hostilities did not
cease, the discussion of peace terms
beginning through the American gov
eminent in the hope that some COM
mon ground might be found for an &C
ceptance by the belligerents of Pres
ident Wilson's original tender of good
offices looking toward mediation.
President Wilson's Influence Strong.
In this connection some prominent
~diplomatists did not hesitate to say
that President Wilson's personal in
fluence in Great Britain and France
as a result of his outspoken and sue
cessful appeal to the American con-
gress to repeal an act which he be-
lieved in contravention to a treaty
would be an important factor for
peace.
No Reply Monday.
Washington. - Although no reply
had been received Monday night from
the German government to the inquiry
of the United States concerning the
attitude of the former toward peace
in Europe administration officials
were hopeful that from the informal
effort something tangible might soon
develop.

q wild impulse Of protection was near

forward. Tolliver's arm was about hel
now, the other hugging the tree. and
by the electric lights Of the street
Alan could see the strange light which
blazed In the others eyes and In thai
moment would have sworn that Clay
was insane. Doris, seeing him com
ing, wrested herself free from the one
who held her and was blown bodily in
to his arms. Her lips were moving
and he knew that she was trying to
make herself heard, but not the slight

Closely he clasped her, trying in his

CHAPTER III.
The Elylno Man.


1t was perhaps five minutes later
that Alan came into a certain posses
sion OF his senses, not fully as one
may do who awakens from faint, but
rather with gradual return to normal
understanding through which period
he had grotesque dreams, saw visions
and seemed to exist for long periods
in unfamiliar worlds. Then as full
consciousness became his again he sat
up. There was strong wind blowing
once more, gale In fact, but 1t was
now coming steadily instead of in 81
gantic gusts and the roar from above
had diminished to the long, dull rum.
Bile OF dying thunder. All was yet In
darkness SO dense that he could not
see his hand before his face.
For moment he sat quietly as his
brain tried to grasp the full signifi.
cance Of all that had happened, his
name, his whereabouts, the cause OF
the blackness, the roar and the wind.
All, he had 1t now. The collision. 1t
had evidently taken place and he was
still alive-Doris! His heart leaped to
his throat and he went fumbling over
the ground on his hands and knees in
blind search for her. His touch fell
upon her still lying PROSTATE. and
placing his arm under her he raised
her to sitting position, feeling Of her
face as he did SO. Thank all things
she was alive and now even able to
move bit. He drew her gently to
him until her head rested against his
shoulder where he held her with his
arm clasped about her waist. He
could feel the deep and rapid pulsing
Of her bosom and knew that she was
breathing spasmodically as though
greatly exhausted, realizing for the
first time that he. also, was painting
as after a severe race. He spoke to
her with an effort and after a few
fruitless trials succeeded in making
himself heard. He asked her II she
was much hurt or in pain and she
shook her head against his shoulder In
negative.
He became conscious that something
to which 1t seemed he had always
| been accustomed had suddenly alb.
/, sented itself and for a moment pom.
dered vaguely as to what 1t could be.
Oh yes. the roar! II was gone now
the earth was steady beneath them
and the wind almost dead. What had
become OF the others OF the party!
He must see at once. He found that
Doris was now able to sit upright with.
out assistance, told her to remain
where she was until he returned, and
got upon his feet. As he did 80 he
saw a light flicker a short distance
away and moment later the flame OF
Japanese lantern revealed the set
face Of Desmond. Alan went hurrying
up to him.
For a moment the professor starad
