The failure Of the allied armies to
drive the Germans out of France, or
in fact to gain any ground at all, is
interpreted as indicating that the nu-
merical advantage the allies enjoyed
at the commencement Of the battle
of the Aisne has been overcome.
1t is officially admitted that the
Germans have greatly strengthened
their position by rushing reinforce
ments to the front Through the fall
of Maubeuge, the Germans were able
greatly to shorten their line of COM
munication and full advantage has
been taken of it.
Every fortified position in Germany
has been stripped of it's garrisons
who have rushed to the front to fill
the gaps in the fighting Inns.
Paris.-Another night attempt by
Germans to break through the allied
left wing was frustrated 1t was,
however, marked with fierce fighting
in which many were killed and
wounded, according to reports reach
ing Gen. Gallieni today.
The fighting on the left, where the
combined armies of Generals Won
Kluck and Won Buelow are massed,
increases in intensity, but the allied
lines are slowly being pushed for
ward. The Germans retire to new
positions constructed in the rear of
their original ones as the pressure in
creases. But at no point have they
actually been defeated.
Every effort is being made to de-
molish the German batteries. The
French artillery fire is increasing in
intensity all along the line, according
to reports reaching here.
German assaults of last five days
have been tremendous. At a dozen
points on the center they have tried
again to take the offensive. Division
after division has been hurled for
ward en- masse only to be shattered
by the allies shell fire and forced to

Petrograd.-No official informa-

operations at the front. The war Of

successfully.
1t is admitted that the Austrian ar

reinforced both with second line
troops and Germans, is fighting des-
perateyl to hold it's positions along

Valdez Dock Company Reduces Price to $12.50 a Ton-canuks Ab-
 sorb the Duty.

The Valdez Dock company today announced that bulk coal would here after be sold at $12.50 ton, the price which prevailed prior to the strike. in British Columbia, which forced the company to purchase the poorer grades of American coal at a higher price than the Nanaimo coal and consequently forced them to raise the retail price.
 The company ve 400 tons of Washington coal on hand which cost considerably more than the British Columbia coal, but tn price will nev-- ertheless be reduced.
 The Dock company and the city entered an agreement several years ago to sell coal at $12.50 a ton, ex- cepting when a "a SC is made at the mines. In order to carry out their end of the contract the company have reduced the price with the first ship ment of Nanaimo coal.
 Juneau, Ketchikan, Douglas and Cordova have all been out of coal the past winter on several occasions and steamers experienced considerable trouble filling their bunkers at Seat tie, but Valdez has had no shortage owing to the large stock carried by the Dock company.
 The coal companies of British Co., lumbia have raised the price of coal 50 cents ton so as to absorb the 45 cents duty formerly paid by the American importers.
