 AFTERFNE DAYS0
 DESPERATE BATTLE
No Change in Situation, Says Official English Re-
 pOrt-Attacks and Count CT Attacks Not Decisive

London, Septe m b CT 18.
 (9:15 D. m.)-For five days the British and French armies have been trying to dislodge the Germans from the strong
 line of defenses which they
 have constructed on the battle front stretching from the Disc to the Mouse rivers. There have been attacks and counter attacks, but in the words of the official communication, "there
 has been no change in the sit
 uation."
 The allies claim to have made slight progress at some points against the
 German right wing north of the River Aisne and to have repulsed counter attacks there and between Craonne
 and Rheims, while they say in the
 center and on the right the Germans pare acting purely on the defensive,
 having s'dug themselves into entrench-
 ments"
 GERMAN REPORTS
 SIMILAR TO ALLIES The German official reports are almost identical with those of the allies. They say no decision has been reached, but that the allies power of resistance Is
 wea kening; that French attempt to break their right has failed; that in the center the Germans are gaining ground
 slowly and that sallies from verdun have been repulsed
 It would seem from all this that the commanding generals have not yet found the weak points in their opponents po- sitions and that each Is withholding his determined blow for, as Lord Kitchener said fin the House of Lords "the right moment
 The Germans having reached selected positions, which they have strongly for
 tif1ed. would appear to have the advan-
 tage according to military critics. but the fact that they must defend the whole of their front to make good their retire. ment should an attack by them fail or a sma shing blow from the allies break their line, while the Anglo French forces are declared to be free to mass at any point General Joffre may select as most suitable for attack.

Wool Market improves

There was renewed activity in To-
cal wool markets the past week, sew.
eral sales being made at prices that
show a substantial advance over
those paid early in the season. Re.
ports from Harlem, Malta and other
Milk river points announce several
transactions at 1Sc and 1871 cents,
and at Chinook the Jurgen Kuhr clip
is said to have sold at 20 cents.
According to advices from Lewis
town, the John D. Waite clip of about
100000 pounds was purchased by Joe
Streng a few days ago at 20 cents,
the buyer being credited with the
statement that he is prepared to con.
tract for all the wool in Fergus coun.
ty at Is cents.
In it's review of the Boston wool
market, the Commercial Bulletin says
that business speeded up last week,
and buyers have taken a considerable
quantity of new territory woods as
we'll as some further quantities OF
foreign fine and cross-breed woods at
hardening rates. In the west buyers
have been active and top rates are
being paid, both in the territory and
fleece sections.
Manufacturers are in need of wool
to cover orders and consequently are
forced to pay the price.
