Tobacco Market is Good.

Florence:-In spite of the war scare.
tobacco in Florence is bringing prices
that make the farmer smile. The
warehouses here are having great
breaks daily now and prices are rang
ing high. In several instances gem,
eral floor averages have gone as high
as Is IL cents. The Florence tobacco
men claim that they are paying at
least twice as much, and in one In
stance three times as much, for the

The following official statement
was issued: mo report has been re
ceiyed from general headquarters
The statements published have de
picted with what vigor our troops are
purusing the Germans in their re

Washington.-The taking Of Mau-
beuge was the subject Of number
Of dispatches from Berlin received
at the German Embassy by way OF
the Sayville wireless station. The
first said:
This announcement OF the fall OF
the French fortress, which had been
under fire for about two weeks, was
followed by another wireless mes
sage:'
"All the papers (Berlin) emphasize
the Importance Of the capture of
Maubeuge. The German military
lines are now free. Also the capture
of so great a number of prisoners
means an important weakening OF
the enemy
Maubeuge was isolated when the
Germans began their turning move,
ment into France after the fall of
Namur. The Germans swept around
and past the forts, which were con.
sidered too strong to take by assault.
and a force was left to keep the
defenders engaged.
AS soon as the German siege artil-
lery could be brought up, the heavy
gun fire was concentrated first on one
fort and then on its support. In this
way the forts were demolished, one
after another.
After five forts had been reduced
the Germans are said to have trained
their guns on the city itself. Flames
then added to the horrors OF the
siege. The capitulation quickly fol-
lowed when the three remaining
stronghoIds were rendered almost
useless by the bombardment.
The enormously high-powered Ger
man siege cannon are said to have
been of such great range that they
virtually could not be reached by
the defenders. There was no escape
in any direction
Fighting has been in progress fur
ther to the right along the line which
includes Montmirail and Sompuis,
neither side gaining advantage
Further to the right again, from
Vitry- le Francois to Sermajze les .
Bains, the enemy has been pressed
back in the direction Of Rheims.
"At Luneyille at attempt by the Ger
mans to advance has been repulsed.
Pressure against the enemy con,
tinues all along the allied fronts. The
British force has been engaged all
day, but the enemy opposed 1t, after
stubborn resistance retired and is now
crossing to the north Of the Marne.
''The Sixth French army, on the
Ourcq. has been heavily engaged, but
here also the enemy has been driven
back.
1.-THE British force has again sus.
tsine6 some casualties, but the mum
ber Is smsll in relation to the nature
Of the fighting"
Fighting continues all along the 150-
mile battle front and the final result
cannot be predlcted, although every
thing looks favorable for the Allied ar
mics.
Each side in succession was report
ed charging desperately, with good
ly part Of the general fighting Of the
hand to hand variety. The Germans
were said to have been pushed by
sheer weight of numbers, the British
cavalry and infantry charging en-
masse along a battle front Of nearly
twenty miles. The British were said
to have encouraged the French to such
an extent that their commanding Of
fcers had difficulty in restraining them
and preventing them from attempting
the impossible.
