Generally BIizzardy Conditions
Predicted for Late tuesday.
Wind Accompanies Freeze.

Another cold wave is rolling down
N Dixie. and the signs point to snow
and wind and general blizzardy con-
ditions by nightfall Tuesday, with a
IHselihood that previous records lfor
,old this winter will be broken.
At o'clock Tuesday morning the
official temperature in atlanta was IS
degrees BY . o'clock the mercury
had shrunA to 26, and was falling
slowly, but with apparent steadiness,
The wind, which averaged about -
miles an hour, added to the penetrl-
ton of the cold. which was all the
more marked, following as it did the
sHmmerlike temperature of Monday
arternoon and evening.
Neglected water pipes and empty
esal bins are nearly certain to bring
sorrow and evaporation Tuesday
night, but it is not predicted that the
cold snap will be of long duration.
ON the whole, it generally is regarded
IA rather fortunate change, in that
Inc fruit and vegetation will be he'd
in check to a degree that will render
less liable to complete ruin by Il
later cold snap.

FINANCIAL CONDITIONS GOOD

Business reports for the month
of September indicate that the fl
nancial depression resulting from
he EuOrpean war is felt to a much
slighter extent in North Dakota
than in othr parts of the country,
according to local bankers.
Roughly speaking. they say that
local conditions are almost the
same as they were during the cor
responding period of 1913.
The local banks are we'll sup
piled with money. and are welt
satisfied with the present state of
affairs.
Reports from other parts of the
country seem to indicate how
ever. that they are less fortune

BATTLE Still UNFINISHED
After Three Weeks Of Fighting
There Is No Decisive

For more than three weeks the
great battle of the Aisne has been
without any decisive result. The
fiercest engagements have been
on the German right. where the
armies see-saw back and forth,
the Allies trying in vain to turn
the German right, while the Ger

to drive the Allies back. Mean
while. the struggle goes wearily
In the east. the Germans and
the Russians both claim to be

that the Russian army is further
east than it was. and therefore
must have lost ground at some
time recently. It looks now as If
the war might 20 on for q year. at

In short, it is impossible to say,
whether on the whole. the Ger
