This is the second stray killed in

MERCANTILE WAR
IN CITY STORES
Price Cutting Now General Among
Local Merchants

Another war has broken out-not
az disastrous as the war in Europe
but apparently as earnest. The
Press, of course. has no interest in
these mercatile differences, except
to furnish advertising space in a
regular business way. just as freely
to me as to another.
The war began bv the decision of
one old merchant to close out his
stock of goods and retire from bust
ness. He started in 10 reducing
prices, Another store began cutting
prices because of a desire to remove
to another room, then all the other
general stores in the city followed
suit in advertising real bargains
This local disturbance brings to
the people of Hand and adjoining
counties a rather unusual opportun-
ity to buy goods and supplies of all
kinds considerably below the retail
price. And 1t happens at a time,
just before the holidays when PEG.
pie are figuring on what to buy for
their own needs or for presents.
The Press worid advise all it's
readers to examine the prices quot
ed in its advertising columns.

Oostkerke, a village IN West Elan

the west of Nieurort, has been bonn
barded by the Germans. which an
nouncement is the latest official
communication issued by the French
war Office would indicate a renewal
of the of the invading forces to
reach lhe channel ports.
simultaneously there has been
heavy firing along the Belgian coast
from warships of the enemies, which,
r again bombardipg the German
positions and possibly may be at
tempting to check an advance in
the neighborhood of Newport.
The French also report advances
by the allies in the department of
Somme and the capture of the vii
lage of Vernelles. between Bethune
and LEM. Unofficial dispatches say
the Germans have been obliged to
utilize their light guns in place of
their heavy artillery. because of the
osndition of the ground owing to
mutations.
In the eastern arena, the occupa-
ton of LODI by the Germans is con.
sidered a remarkable achievement,
in view of the manner in which the
German lines only a short time ago
were threatened by the Russians.
and an important step IN their pro-
posed movement against Warsaw.

The Bourfe Gazette of Petrograd
estimates that the Germans lost
100, 900 men in the fighting during
the last month around Lcdz.
That an effort Is being made to
bring about a resumption of normal
conditions in Paris is indicated by
the fact that President Poincars
