Commissioner siddons' Views.
II have not yet seen the alley bill in
the form In which it Is reported to
have been enacted by the Congress
and I can therefore at this time ex-
press no definite opinion upon the
measure. But II have been correctly
informed, its basis is the old act OF

addition introducing a provision pro-
hibiting, after July l, 1918. the occu-
patton for residential purposes of any
alley structure. This provision Is d.
rectly aimed at the object for which
the advocates OF remedial legislation
have for years been contending. and
therefore marks a decided step in ad-
vance toward their goal.
THE legislation proposed by the Com
missioners on this subject sought to
attain the result by different method.
I cannot undertake to indulge in a
Of these methods. 1t seems,
however, that there are practically four
years left for a thorough consideration
Of the subject, and l do not doubt

In Vienna funds are being raised pri-

Over half the street railway EN-

Police Rejoin the Army.
A large number of the police also
have rejoined the army, but the city is
perfectly orderly. So far there have
been no demonstrations against the
citizens of hostile countries and there
is no longer any necessity for guarding
the British and French embassies.
Prices are not much above normal,
although an advance which is reported
in the wholesale prices of wheat. bar
ley and rye must soon affect the cost
of flour and bread. The price of pc
troleum is considerably higher. Many
refineries have closed and boring Oper-
atoms have ceased. Exports of Ca
lician oil to Germany have increased
because American oils are no longer
arriving in the usual quantities.

Germans Suffer Great Losses.

that remained Of their energy, but
were rolled back with enormous losses
Before retiring behind their big guns
they sacrificed many of their num-
Der. displaying resolution which APP
preached desperation. A. vigorous
counter attack from the allies ensued,
during which a small extent of
ground was gained.
Thursday night was relatively calm
along the front. but Friday the fight
ing became more furious than ever.
During the darkness operations are
rendered difficult owing to the re-
luctance of the opposing commanders
to use searchlights, which might ex-
pose their position.
After this stage of the fight was
concluded the Germans appeared to re-
tire about seven miles. During the
combat the adversaries In many in
stances came to hand-to-hand clashes
and the bayonet was extensively used
The carnage was terrifying, but the
troops of both armies appear to have
been hardened to such scenes and
fought with great GOODNESS.
