LONDON, Dec. 28.-On the battle
lines In both the eastern and western
arenas of the war the onward move
ments seemed today to have lost
something OF their headway. On the
western front the allied offensive has
momentarily shown lack of yigor,
while General Won Hindenburg, the
German commander, seems to have
come to standstill on the vistula.
At the same time, Vienna admits a
check to the Austrian forces stationed
along the Galician Carpathia.rs.

head of the line, "are marching the

Senlis was still burning and the enc

red light, my Zouaves in the little
crimson autos whirled gaily into the
town, surprised the ravishers, slaugh-
tered many of them, and drove the
rest into the woods. They caught the
colonel sleeping in the chateau of M.

chased him naked, except for his shirt,

he in almost whisper of that girlish
voice of his, and the next moment
the Zouaves have stacked their rifles,
eased their pilgrim packs and are
sprawling on the soft grass by the
roadside.
In twos and threes they crawl off
into the woods, wriggling into the un-
dergrowth like snakes. Half-human
cries are heard amid the shadows, and
presently out into the glade again
come the brown-faced wire bearded lit

WHEAT STRONGER AS
MARKET HEARS LESS
OF EUROPEAN PEACE
Heavy Demand From Mil
lers at Liverpool, Where
Prices Are Better-Gen-
eral Buying in Chicago Pit.

CHICAGO. Sept 16-There was re-
newed confidence in the buying side In
the wheat market today. Prices opened
firm, with December up lSs cents, at Sl,O9,
and May up 23s cents, at Sill. Weak
longs were eliminated on the recent set
backs and the market was believed To
be on a far better basis than it was
seven days ago, when prices We're 2l&.
cents above yesterdays low point There
was a large export trade on the recent
setbacks.
A heavy demand for wheat from mill
ers was reported at Liverpool, serving
TO reduce British stocks and relieving
the congestion In the United Kingdom.
The receipts in the Northwest We're again
heavy and stocks are accommodating there.
The scene in the pit this morning was
wild, with commission houses in general
buying and offerings scattered and made
quate. Less was heard of peace talk and
the news from the other side was believed
to indicate a prolongation of the strug-
gle.
Prices at Liverpool were stronger.

knowledged large requirements Of coun-

been expected with the quality as a

LOCAL CONTRACTORS
EXTEND OPERATIONS
TO DISTANT STATES
In Last Ten Years Philadel-
phia Builders Have Be-
come Strong Competitors in
Open Market

Never before in the history of building
has the Philadelphia contractor been
such strong competitor in the open
market Ten years ago 1t was almost like
performing a miracle to obtain work of
any size more than few miles out of
town, and Philadelphia contractors re-
garded it as q waste of time and money
to submit bids on distant work. Today
the Philadelphia firms will not only esti-
mate on work anywhere In the United
States, but have succeeded in running
many out-of-town contracts. Not only oc-
casionally but almost any day in the
week on the estimating boards in the
larger offices will be found many large
out-of-town jobs This change of af-
fairs is principally due to the following
reasons
First. The local contractor, like the
Philadelphia lawyer, has gained a far
reaching reputation for skill and efii-
cheney.
Second. The completeness of the organ
ization of most of our large contracting
firms enables them to carry on the con-
struction OF a building 1900 miles from
Philadelphia with the same Celerity and
exactness as though it was stone throw
from their office door.
AS an Illustration of the magnitude of
this out-of-town business. it was learned
after visit to only three of the leading
contractors, Cramp &c Co.. Irwin &; Leigh
ton, and j. E. & a. L. Pennock, that
their combined work for the year amount
ed to more than $4,000. 600, and was being
constructed in such distant places as
Oklahoma, Charlestown. w. Va; Dayton.
o.: New Haven, Allegheny City; Harris
burg. Pa; Atlanta. Ga; Montreal, Can
ada; Cincinnati. o.. Indianapolis, Ind. ;
Ann Harbor. Mich; Detroit, Mich; New
York City; Newark, n. j.: Buffalo, y. Y,
and many other large cities throughout
the United States.
The above firms by no means have a
monopoly of this distant work Many
of the Government postofices throughout
the country are being done by our local
contractors, and the satisfaction they are
giving In the fine class of building con-
struction cannot help but stamp the Phil
adelphia contractors MS leaders in the
building world.
