tarded by rain, which has been fall
ing constantly for the last two or
three days.
Rome.-Reports current in official
circles today declared that Austria,
in an effort to prevent Italy declar-
ing war, has agreed to pay an in
demnity to the Italian government
for the families of the fishermen
whose lives were lost when their
boats were destroyed by striking
floating mines in the Adriatic.
The amount of this indemnity may
be fixed by Italy. It is also stated
that there is no confirmation of the
reports current yesterday that an
Italian torpedo boat was sunk by
floating mine.
Berlin, via The HagUe.-The war
Office says the general situation con-
tinues with little change, the fight
ing developing into a series of indie
pendent engagements, in which
neither side has been able to gain a
distinct advantage.
The official report as made public
today devotes considerable attention
to the fighting in AIsace-Lorraine
where, it is stated, the battle begun
on Monday continues.
The French, it is stated, have been
heavily reinforced and are attempt
ing to break through the German
lines in the vicinity of MuIhausen
and to carry the various passes
through the Vosges.
Paris.-In a final effort to turn
both wings of the German army,
which is now slowly retreating both
on the left and the right, reinforce
ments are being rushed east and west
by the French military staff.
There has been no let up in the
fighting at the two ends of the wav-
ing battle line since last Friday. At
all times the allies have been on the

hands as many as four times in "a
hours.
But today it is definitely stated
that in the territory north of the
SOmme and west of the Disc, the
allies are today holding the advanced
positions that were originally oe-
cupied by the Germans when the
present battle began.
The Garman right, military head
quarters here today declared, has
been shortened materially. While no
details of the line are given, it is
believed that the Germans are now
battling desperately to maintain their
hold on the railroad lines running in
to Belgium. -
Military experts here predict end
Of present battle about Sunday or
Monday, with complete success to the
allies, in that the Germans must re-
treat.
Antwerp, via The Hague.-The
Germans continue their lombard
ment at the outer line of the Ant
werp forts. Aviators who returned
today from accommodating over the
German lines report that companies
of the German engineers are appar-
emily constructing concrete bases at
a number of points. These, it is be-
ieved, will be used to mount the big
siege guns which are now being
rushed westward from Lege.
Vienna, Via Rome.-Four gigantic
battles and two fort bombardments
involving fully six million men are in
progress in the eastern theater of
war today. At no point has there
been any decisive result, and it will
be several days before the fighting
will reach a crisis.

HOW GERMANS DEVELOPED
GREAT FOREIGN BUSINESS

In the November American Maya.
zinc appears AN interesting article
showing how the war has opened a
business opportunity 10 America. The
author says that with the present op.
portunity Americans ought TO 20 at
the foreign markets in the same scien-
tlnc way that the Germans did-spend
all kinds OF time and money learning
languages, trade habits, social Gus
toms, and make II all count toward a
permanent connection. lie goes on
IN part as follows;
when a German manufacturer got
his eye on a market he would send
down the biggest man he could spare
from the buslness-if he could posi-
bly, manage It, he would 80 himself
to spend a year learning the ropes be-
fore he tried to do a dollars worth OF
business. lie went down with the
fixed idea that the only way not TO
handle that market was his own way.
He studied his customers ways OF
doing business, and got It down pat
to the smallest detail. II the custom
ers were in the habit Of paying in
ninety days. he was on hand with his
cost and accounting systems arranged
to suit. II they wanted their pianos
packed in tin-lined cases. he didn't
use tarred paper. II they wanted
shirts made with burlap neckbands
and the tails dyed green, he was right
there with the berries, and In a week
he would have consular report ready
