Tae north bound auto, owned and driven bv Geo.

ENGLAND CAN STOP
 SUSPICIOUS SHIPS
United States Agrees That British Warships May
 Overhaul U. s.. Boats.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The unre- stricted right to hold up and searcn American shipping vessels during the war was announced by the British embassy here today. The state de- partment, through Acting Secretary or State Lansing. announced this gov ernment would acquiesce in Great Britain's stand. This came, after a conference with President Wilson.
 In assuming this attitude. the Unit ed States reverses the position 1t maintained in 1912 when it went to war with Great Britain over the per sistent hold up by the English or American vessels.
 All this developed today as the out come of orders issued last night Dy Secretary McAdoo prohibiting the pub lication until after thirty days of man. ifests of vessels leaving any Ameri- can port.
 One very important result of this withholding of manifests will be that Great Britain will largely increase her force of cruisers which are vir- tually blockading New York shipping.

Paris. Oct. 29.--The Germans are massing vast army Of 350,OOO. sup- ported by the greatest engines of war at the command of the kaiser, for a final desperate assault on the allies line in West Flanders.
 Tonight's official statement from Bordeaux declares that there was an absolute dearth of developments, in- dicating prolonging of the Hull which settled over the northern field yester- day. This throws the burden of in- formation back upon the afternoon official communication which declared that there is nothing new to report from the front between Newport and Dixmude." While various reasons have been advanced for the temporary cessation of hostilities the apparently logical one is that the troops of both armies are completely exhausted.
 l But while the fighting lines are gaining needed respite. the rival gen. eral staffs are redoubling their toll over the war maps and following the resuscitation of the fighting men and the overhaulng of the artillery, the battle will be renewed with greater energy.
 During the pause, according to in- formation telegraphed here, the Ger mans are bringing up heavy reinforce iments to strengthen their line ana 10 hack their way through to the coast. Select New ROute. Other dispatches state new route has been selected and that the Ger mans hope to go direct through to Cologne, keeping far distant from the coast to avoid the fire of the warships of the allies. This report says that in all there are 25O,000 men massed at a point at which the initial attack is to be directed. These, with the 100, ,O0O fresh troops hurried forward to his aid, will give the duke Of Wurt- Itemburg, who is in supreme com mand in this field, 350,000 men with which to make the supreme effort to reach the channel port, the kaiser's most coveted objective.
 During the past AS hours great movements of troops back of the Ger man line have been observed by aif scouts, and now it is estimated there are 2,5OO,00O men between Dixmude and Nieuport
 S, confident is General Joifres that the main attack will be made here that heavy endorsements of British ard French troops are being masseo for a terrific resistance.
 The new route Is apparently between
 the river Yser and the Ypres-Hase- brock -Stomar road.

Sixty of the Car ranga troops were killed and the re- mainder were forced to beat a nasty retreat in the direction of San Luis Potosi.

It is understood he has another force south of Aguas Falientes.

VIII Be No Market.

A large northern dealer in raw
furs has sent a dispatch to its rep
Tesentatives over the country stat
ing that there will be practically no
demand this year for raw furs.
Whether this is due to the disturb
ed condition, incident to the war,
has not been stated. However, those
who have made a practice in this
section of trapping small animals
for their fur should make investlga-
tion before endeavoring to secure
the green hides. 1t is possible that
it will be difficult to dispose OF
them at prices that are worth while.
The large northern company above
referred to has stated that there
will be no market for dressed OF
raw fur this year.
