GERMANS FALL BACK
UNABLE TO STAND TERRIBLE ON
sLAUGHTs OF ALLIED TROOPS
NEAR PARIS.
RIGHT WING PROVED WEAK
After Weeks Fierce Fighting They
Give Territory All Along the Line
Stop Firing at Verdun Forts.
Mountainous Country Helps.

London, Sept. ia dispatch to Reu-
ter's Telegram company from Paris
gives the following official statement.
THE Germans still are retreating
before the allies left wing and are al
so retiring in the center and before
the French right wing.
The French have reoccupied the
city of Luneville, department of Meur-
the ct Moselle."
The German armies, which a week
ago today commenced a series of vio-
lent attempts to break through the
French center, have found their eff
forts futile, and, evacuating Vitry-le-
Francois, which was the pivot of their
offensive and where they had forti-
fled already strong natural positions
have retired northward.
This retirement was made impera-
tive by the continued retreat of the
German right wing, which now is
somewhere northwest of Rheims, and
the defeat of an army corps which
was operating just east of Vitry-le-
Francois, around Revigny and Ser
maize, and which in its hurry to join
the retirement left a quantity of war
material behind
The Germans in the Argonne district
likewise have begun to fall back, so
that the pressure on the forts to the
southwest of Verdun, which a Berlin
report said the Germans have com
menced to lombard, should be reliev-
ed.
In Lorraine, too, the French claim
to have won further successes and to
have been enabled to straighten out
their line along that frontier. They
have occupied the territory east OF
the forest of Champenouv Gerberville
Resainviller and Saint Die, thus get
ting in closer touch with their troops
which, since the early days of the
war;. have held a bit of German ter
ritory in front of Colmar
Apparently the Germans, who sent
the best of their army further west
to take part in the advance on Paris
have found the mountains of Mosellt
and Vosges, where the French were il
strong positions, too hard a nut t
crack

Austria in Sore Need.

London, Sept. 13.-A Reuter- dis
patch from Rome says:
News from the Austrian frontier
describes even in darker colors the
situation of the Austrian army, espe'
cially since Germany has notified her
ally that she is unable to send any
more reenforcements into Galicia ow
ing to the graver conditions on the
western frontier.
1T is even asserted that the German
contingent which reached Grodek tc
help the Austrians may be recalled to
Germany, as Germany wishes to cen
ter all her efforts against the allies"

The element of uncertainty contin-
ues to show it's influence in the mar
ket for wheat. Prices locally are quot

and red Fife at orc, though this is not
the top figure for the period, there

sack and beets, turnips and carrots
have eased off &c per pound.


Wheat-The trade has been through
another active week. 1t has been re-
peatedly stated that the pace which
was under way was altogether too
fast. The advance has been rapid but
at the same time it was not unexpect-
ed. The underlying conditions in the
market are very strong and will assert
themselves from time to time against
any permanent decline in prices.
Flour-The activity in the flour mar
ket that has been apparent for the
past several weeks has about spent
itself, and from present indications
there will not be much doing for a
time at least except for the passing
trade for immediate requirements.
Values on some grades were boosted
by the local mills at the close of last
week, first grades jobbing at $3.50 and
seconds at $3.50.
Feed-The feed market has been
experiencing rather steady upward
trend for some time and we note a
number of changes in quotations this
week, as follows: Bran, $25; bran
and shorts, $27; shorts, $34; feed
wheat, $50; barley, $26; rolled bar
ley, $27; oats, $50; steam rolled oats,
$31, and corn, $42.

offer resistance they will, in the opin-

along the line extending from Peronne

back is that of Crown Prince Frederick

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

Varying reports continue character
istic of the commercial and industrial
situation. While the volume of trade
locally is holding at about seasonable
dimensions, the tendency toward hest
fancy that prevails in the matter of
prices and supplies, together with the
higher rates for money on commercial
paper, all tend to hold the situation
from making any pronounced develop
ments of favorable character. Rela-
lively speaking, the most favorable
conditions prevail in agricultural COM
munities. With a bumper wheat crop
secured, and with growers having dis
posed of enough of their grain to Gov
er current bills and provide for i'm
mediate requirements at the prevail
ing high prices, collections are decid-
eddy improved and demands for mer-
chandise have been stimulated mate
rally.
Lumber trade has been seriously in
terfered with by the falling off in ex-
port demand, because. of the war, and
a large number of mills are operating
with curtailed output, awaiting the
advent of improved conditions. 1t is
expected that there will be an excel
lent business in yard stocks, follow
ing the marketing of the big crop,
with the high prices received, but the
fact that the railways are not able to
secure money on satisfactory basis,
is preventing the prosecution of i'm
provements by one of the greatest
consumers.
Provisions.
Butter-The butter market holds at
last weeks values and for the season
there are excellent supplies, produc-

excess of previous years, in spite OF

Eggs-The egg market is un-
changed with enough offerings to meet
requirements, though the situation is
relatively firm, and it is probable that
rains may curtail production some

week. the figures being 12c for the for

Await Emperor's Reply.

Notwithstanding the vigorously
phrased statements through official
channels last week that Great Britain,
France and Russia would not make
peace until they had decisively de-
feated Germany, it was admitted in
many quarters that favorable answer
from Emperor William to the Ameri-
can governments inquiry may change
the entire aspect of the situation. Such
a reply, it was agreed, would set the
machinery for peace-making in mo-
ton, even though hostilities did not
cease, the discussion of peace terms
beginning through the American gov
eminent in the hope that some COM
mon ground might be found for an ac-
ceptance by the belligerents of Pres
ident Wilson's original tender of good
offices looking toward mediation.
