Heir Is Smashed.
Frederick Seeks i'm Vain to Come

DEAD DOT BATTLE FIELD
French Resistance Destructive
as Offensive.
Drive on Verdun Transformed,
Into Defense of Metz.

Paris, Sept. 2S.-Intelligence from
the Champagne front. beyond Chalons,
which reached Paris today, shows that
it was the right wing of the German
crown princes army which was shat
tered in the attacks of Friday and
Saturday. The crown princes center
made furious efforts to counter in the
ArgOnne yesterday, with the result
that all railway lines to the east and
north, according to French informa-
rying away German wounded. French
officers reckon that the crown
princes army lost 100000 men in this
attack and the previous ASA ultS dur
ing the summer.
Great Battles Get Passing Notice.
The plan of attack of this army
has been the sending in masses of two
divisions, or about 40,0 men, at a
time against French works. These
ngagements-each one equal in i'm
portance to some of the great battles
of history-have been dismissed hith
erto with brief reference in the
French official communication be-
cause the results were only negative.
Germans captured recently testify
that the resistance of the French has
been as destructive as their offensive
effect a year ago, has now attained
such intensity as to work demoraliza-
ton among their opponents.
French Hold Under Fire.
In yesterdays attack the Germans
sent two divisions against the French
lines after preparatory lombard
ment. The artillery fire did not de-
moralize the French line, which held
everywhere when the German infantry
charged. The two German divisions
broke, leaving the ground dotted with
their dead Three times the Germans
renewed their assault, making the at
tacks with extreme courage. Each
time they retired, leaving more dead.

between the lines.
Although the attacks of the German
crown prince have been violent and
well organized, French officers say the
drive against Verdun is being trans
formed gradually into a defense of
Metz, for the French are creeping
slowly and steadily closer to the Lor-
raine stronghold.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Sept. oS.-WHEAT-wheat
values hardened today owing to Liverpool
reports of an urgent milling inquiry and
of disappointment in regard to offers from
Canada. Advices that the threatened strike
of Iongshoremen in New York had been
averted was a further help to the bulls
Trading, however, was by no means of a
sided character. Opening prices,
which ranged from &c off to 10 advance
with December at $3.50 to 94A @94%c and
May at 96Ic to Ole were followed by q
moderate upturn all around.
Unfavorable weather condition which to
a large extent have stopped threshing in
the DakOtas and Minnesota brought about
additional gain later. The close was strong,
11a015sc to &c net higher, with December
at 955s d95%c and May at 9S14 @9S3sc.
CORN-Corn developed a little strength
in sympathy with wheat, besides some
damage from frost was reported. After
opening "a C lower to a gain of shade,
the market scored slight advances in the
more active options.
Adverse crop reports from the northern
section of the belt tended afterward to up
hold the market. The close was unsettled,
&c off to 12c up, compared with last night.
OATS-Oats took the same course as
corn. The buying was better distributed,
however, throughout all the various de-
Hveries.
PROVISIONS-Progre prices for
hogs gave firmness to provisions. Business
had greater volume than has recently been
the rule.

COME FROM The SOUTH
Students Forced Into U. S. Schools by
War in Europe.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Students
from Central and South American
Republics who ordinarily go to Eu-
rope for education are coming to the
United States this year because of the
war. Parties of them are arriving
here daily on steamships from the
south. Thirty-five young men were
in one group from Brazil, which ar
rived here yesterday to study at Yale,
Princeton or Harvard universities.
Many Mexican and Cubans are among
the new students.
Owing to the financial ascendancy of
the United States as Il result of the
war, trade opportunities in South
America and the disturbances in Mex
leo, new sources and new instructors
to deal with financial subjects and
topics peculiar to Latin America have
been adopted by several of the more
important eastern universities.

In Topeka today Judge c. f. Foley,
Democratic member of the commits

Neither, Judge Folly declared, did the
two commissions discuss action.
Neither did the Kansas commission

Foley explained today. at was called
by the Missouri commission. SO if
anything is to be given out, it should
come from the Missouri commission
ers."
But Judge Foley was quite positive
nothing was done. No future action
was contemplat he stated No sug-
gestions were made by either COM
mission. The commissions merely
met. The Kansas commissioners did
not ask the Missouri commissioners to
adopt the % cent rate order made in
Kansas. Nor did the Missourians in
dictate that they intended to adopt or
reject the order.
Statement Was Read.
A press dispatch quoting a Missouri
commissioner as stating that Missouri
towns would not stand for an increase
in rates without day in court, was
read to Judge Foley. That statement,
the commissioner explained, was made
outside the meeting and not during
the executive session. Another state
ment to the effect that Missouri would
never pay more for gas than Kansas
was read Same explanation.
That, according to statements today,
was the sum total5of the results from
the much advertised Missouri-Kansas
gas conference. The members of the
two commissions merely met. They
neither contemplated, considered nor
adopted policy.
