Paris, Dec IAN interesting and
significant feature of the government
report was the victories said to have
been gained by the French artillery
In Flanders, along the lills of Cham
payne and In the Argonne.
The French heavy guns battered
down a German field fort which
threatened the occupation Of section
of the east bank Of the User. In the
old battle front center French guns
overmatched the German artillery.
Near Varennes, in the Argonne, q
position northwest of Verdun, French
guns put German batteries out Of &C.

In the condensed and conservative
announcement Of artillery successes
ID confirmation Of fact which has
been we'll uderstood in military Or
cles here-that the long maintained
artillery superiority Of the Germans
has been destroyed, and that the al
lies have more powerful field guns,
and probably greater number, than
the Germans possess. Exactly three
months ago, when the tide Of fortune
turned in favor of the French at the
battle Of the Marne, the German su.
periority was unquestioned and alarm
ing. Since then the artillery defects
OF the allies have been repaired.
For at least ten days there has been
a succession OF official announcements
Of artillery triumphs. French and
British field guns have outf0ught the
Germans In Flanders, in Artois, along
the Aisne, and eastward to Alsace.
In this, as much as In the numbers
and determination Of the infantry
holding the trenches, lies the expla-
nation of German failure to cross the
User, to advance from Lille, to gain
north Of Scissors, at Cranne or
Rheims, or to make progress in the
Argonne or southeast of Verdun. In
this heavy gun superiority may lie,
also. an explanation of the offensive
which appears to have been taken by
tae French and British in the north
and by the French 2. the east.
As regards movements by infantry
the official news given out by the gov
ernment indicated that there were
sharp engagements at Wiedenreft, In
Flanders, where the Germans were
repulsed; and In the Argonne, where

DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH, WHO SEEKS
TO CURB DRINKING IN ENGLAND
men were members OF a delegation
which recently visited Mr.. Mckenna at
the home office and asked MS assist
ance In battling the wave Of alcoholism
among women. Lady Byles. who pre-
sented the delegation. explained that
the members represented different
opinions socially and politically. but
were unanimous In the opinion that
the government should take immediate
steps to check drinking among women
They furthermore believed that any
regulation undertaken by the govern
ment should extend to men as well as
women. The prohibition OF the sale Of
liquor before noon was suggested as a
regulation that would lessen the temp
iation offered by public houses. Such
curtailment of the hours OF public
houses would permit them to remain
open only ten hours daily.
MIR. McKenna replied that II would
require new act OF parliament to
enable him to curtail the hours OF
liquor selling further. he promised u
submit the suggestion to the house.

MARKET FOR U. S.

Opportunity.

Rich trade opportunities await the
American manufactured in Uruguay
according to Jose Richling, the Argen-

"By November j." Mr.. Richlirg said,
"our wool crop of between l4O,OOO,OOo
and l6O,O00,000 pounds will be ready
for market. and il the United States
absorbs the major part of it, an in
creased trade in all manufactured ar
ticles will follow with Uruguay. Here
tofore most of this wool has gone to
Europe, and a corresponding amount OF
manufactured articles have been re-
ceiyed in return.
wool can be brought to this coun-
try in its raw stat,. manufactured and
sent back 10 US again, because Uruguay
has no wocllen mills. There is also
a big demand in our country for cotton
goods 1t seems strange that the
United States has not had a larger
share in this trade.
an addition to the demand for WOOL
len and cotton goods, Uruguay also
needs machinery, agricultural imple-
ments, lumber, coal, hardware and
office furnitu-c. In re urn for this we
can send you our wool, beef and hides
Why, we sent $3,OO0,0O0 worth of Uru-
guayau beef to the United States in
the first six months Of this year, and
If the traHSp. rtatiOn ala 'ements are
