Allies Begin offensive Movement on
Battle Front in Northern France
Outcome Doubtful.

Tie world is awaiting with breath

drive against the German positions
in France.
That the situation is rather serious
for the Germans is admitted, Indirect

is that the allied offensive has spent
the greater part of it's force without
decisive results.

That the allies have secured an
ample supply of ammunition for their

for their present offensive movement

German lines have been forced back,

Germans Rush Reinforcements
The British front, too has been the
scene of exceptional activity. and the
troops under General French have
made some gains, but have likewise
met with some reyerses, SO that it is
impossible to report the exact situa-
tion until the smoke of battle" has
partially cleared away.
The Germans seem to have been
rushing reinforcements to the assist
ance Of their forces in northern
France, which is an additional indf-
cation that they consider the situa-
ton rather precarious. The kaiser
is said to have gone to the western
front instead of visiting Berlin, ac-
,cording to earlier plaE5.

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly
Spots. How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freekle-
face, to try a remedy for freckles
with the guarantee of a reliable
dealer that it will not cost you a
penny unless it removes the freckles;
while if it does give you clear
complexion the expense is triAing.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from Bassett Drug
Co., and few applications should
show you how easy it is to rid
yourself of the homely freckles and
get beautiful complexion. Rarely
is more than one ounce needed for
the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for
the double strength othine as this
is the prescription sold under guar
antee Of money back if it fails to
remove freckles. Al

ON THE TR0T

This world is on a trot, and it is
some trot.
We have the fox trot, the turkey
trot, the dog trot, the gold trot and
the silly trot.
And everybody's trotting.
If. don't trot for one thing, we
trot for another. IS
The young man trots along in the
wake of the dainty maid.
The bald head trots around hunt
ing for any kind Of skirt.
The millionaire trots in harness
with his affinity.
The dude trots in the halo of his
own Stiffness.
The miser trots after his gold,
and the CRATER trots the road to
hell. g.. ...\
The politician trots in the lime
light of publicity, and the voter
trots at his beck and call.
The hypocrite trots around in the
cloak of religion, and the godly man
after the souls Of men.
Death trots in the trenches Of Eu-
rope, while misery and starvation
trots over the heartstrings of the
women and children left at home.
Everybody's ON the trot, and it is
a fast and furious trot, with every
man for himself and Satan take the
hindmost trotter,
If you would succeed in this life
you must trot, for only the trotters
reach the goal Of today.
1t is the day OF the trot, and we
are essentially a people Of today.
For we trot.

WHAT A PRETTY MAID CAN Do

A pretty maid can make wise
man a fool.
She can make a sane man dippy.
She can turn sunshine into gloom,
or misery into joy.
She can have a train of young
bloods and bald headed old bache-
lors trotting after her like a pack
of hungry dogs trailing bone.
She is an object of envy and a
thing Of joy, and there is no end
to her possibilities.
For all the world admires a
pretty maid.

U. S. Steel Ranks With War Specialties In Point
 of Activity

New York, July 14.-To a greater extent than before today's stock market was governed by the course of the war con- tract or intuition issues. This group sb- sorbed the major portion of speculative attention, with new high prices for Amer ican Can at 52, Studebaker at s27s, Bald win Locomotive at 71i4, General Motors at 1s2h and Willys Overland at 1s6 Other stocks in the same class rose to 4 points. the most conspicous exception being American Coal Products, which forfeited points of its recent sensational ad- vance.
 Meantime representative investment stocks were either neglected or under moderate pressure United States Steel was the only speciality to rank with war stocks in point of activity.
 New features of strength were seen in such utilities as Western Union and Con solidated Gas, the former advancing all most points on intimations that the semi-annual statement to be issued to- morrow will show a substantial net in crease of earnings

 lies also came in for rise of one

 Cotton and flour quotations hold

COTTON ADVANCES

Prices $2 a Bale Over the Level of Last
 Saturday

New York, July 14.-Firm Liverpool ables and the bullsh census figures on domestic mill consumption for the month of June inspired further covering and re- newed buying for a rally in the cotton market this morning. Reactions followed early advances, but were succeeded by renewed steadiness in the late trading, with the close steady at a net advance of to 10 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points in response to the cables, and after some little irregularity sold about is to IS points net higher on the active new crop positions. This ad- vance carried prices about s2 a bale above the low level of last Saturday and ap- peared sufficient to attract considerable realizing by recent buyers, while there was considerable selling from local and southern sources which may have been encouraged by the favorable weather map and expectations of a bearish weekly weather report at midday Trading seemed to develop on a small scale at a reaction of to 10 points from the best. however, while the weekly report was rather less favorable than looked for, and a second bulge carried prices back to approximately the best point during the early afternoon.

RAPID RECOVERY IN COTTON MA2E1I Show of Strength at the Close Surprised the
 Traders

New Orleans, July 14.--After a session of nervous fluctuations today cotton closed steady at a net gain of to 10 points. The ring was filled with buying orders toward the close which caused a rapid recovery from a level & point un- der the last quotations of yesterday.
 The market opened at the advance in sympathy with higher prices than due in Liverpool and the bullish features in the monthly statement of mill statistics from the census bureau. Bulls were impressed by the large consumption snd fresh long buying was sufficient to put prices 10 to 12 points up. Short selling and offerings from scalpng longs met the rise and pared 1t down but later another bulge carried the market to a net gain of Il to IS points. In the early afternoon the market sagged under the influence of favorable weekly weather reports and prices lost all their advance. The claim of the bears was that weaker shorts had covered and that the market missed the support 1t recently has been getting from that clement The show of strength around the close was surprising to most traders and was generally attributed to operators who sought to influence early trading in the English market tomor- row.

Hubbard Bors. & Co.'S Letter

New York. July 14-The feature of the government figures of consumption was that the American consumption for the month was 15 per cent larger than last year and the consumption of iinters was no per cent larger than last year for the same month. These figures would have caused sharp rally but for the fact that the government stated the supplies of cot ton in the hands of spinners was 50 per cent larger than last year.
 Cotton merchants are unable to under stand from their own experience how these figures can be correct. as 1t would mean that some mills must hold several years supply to make up the average which does not seem to be the result of our experienced The local feeling remains bearsh and while the market closes some to 10 points higher. the advance Is re- garded as temporary by the trade and a lower market is expected by them to- morrow
