HEAVY FIGHTING IN WEST

Aisne 49, British Losses
Last Week $1,000.

London. June 8.-Following the can
ture OF the Russian position at Prz-
emysL, the Germans apparently have
sent heavy reinforcements to the west
ern line, where there are distinct signs
OF q resumption of the offensive on the
part Of the invaders. Nevertheless,
the French report a slow and uninter-
rupted advance in the sector north of
Arras, and important gains north OF
the Aisne.
According to a French official report,
French troops, after a very effective
pombardment east of Tracy lie Mont
and north OF the River Aisne, carried
two successive lines Of trenches on a
front OF one klometer, together with
several German works.
In the east, the Austro- German ad-
vance Is continuing with eastern Ga
ncia figuring prominently as the OBJ
lective. This move is regarded in
London as political, the idea Of the
Germans and Austrians being to exert
an influence upon Rumania.
P~etrograd announces a Russian sue
cess along the River Pruth. heal Ko-
tomea, where the Austro- Germans are
q to be forced back across the river.
Petrograd says also that the Russian
lines OF defense must be readjusted
on account or the use Of poisonous
gases by the Germans.
The reason for this Is that the
works, technically correct under the
ordinary conditions Of warfare, become
death traps when exposed to this new
engine of hostilities.
London, Jun THE casualty lists
for the weeks end is the heaviest is
sued since the war began. They in
clude so officers and $3.50 men, Of
whom 1874 were killed. This brings
the total British losses during the last
week to 900 officers and 10000 men.

sons who were their main support.
The rates provided for by the new law

Trade Hitherto Struggling to
Break Even.

Many years will elapse ere some trades
and businesses In the bellIgerent c0un-
tries recover, II they ever do recover.
from the effects OF this devastating war
In other trades-those which are supply
ing the materials required for the war
fortunes are being made every day In
England stoppage of sport-cricket. foot
ball, racing, etc.-has resulted In the
makers of sporting requisites losing
nearly all their trade. Few people buy
such luxuries as jewelry nowadays. The
clothing and drapery trades have been
hard hit, and the glass and pottery
trades are seriously affected.
On the other hand, many manufactur-
ers who formerly made articles of luxury
have adapted their works to necessary
goods Motor car manufacturers have
reaped harvest by concentrating their
attention to war vehicles instead of pri-
vate cars. and the boom in military
motor-driven vehicles is such that new
works are being erected as rapidly as
possible.
People concerned in the making of
sandbags, too, are reaping rich rewards,
for 100000 are required for the British
forces every month, while the demand
for army clothing and boots has kept
the woolen trade working at high
pressure and caused Northampton to
flourish as 1t has never done before.
The thousand and one things required
by the soldiers have resulted in boom
in many trades which the average per-
son has never heard of. For instance,
there was never such a demand for boot
laces, underclothing, socks, buttons. car
fridge belts, razors. knives and forks.
blankets. Jampots. harness and hair
combs. to mention only a few of the
necessaries that are being bought whole
sale every day. Again. some enterprising
manufacturers have made small fortunes
out OF the supply of such things as but
tons, badges. 'swagger" canes, tins In
which to pack gifts to troops at the
front, khaki ties and so on.
Great profits have been made in the
coal trade, but perhaps greater in, the
shipping industry, where the demand for
freights has been such that immense
fortunes have been made. During the
last few months the value OF steamships
has been going up by leaps and bounds.
Remarkable prices have been realized
for secondhand steamers, which are con-
stantly being sold for more than they
