BERLIN, October 5.--Despatches re-
ceived from the front state that the
losses of the Allies in the general of,
fensive last week were SO heavy that
it is not expected that any fresh Of
fensive win be launched at any near
date. The main fighting at the present
time is in the many counter attacks be-
ing made by the Germans upon the
positions which the British and French
gained. @
1t is admitted that the Allies made
advances at both Givenchy and at Loos,
and that the French are holding to the
trenches they gained. The British,
however, are giving ground and their
gains at Loos are being recaptured and
reoccupied by the Germans bit by bit,

latest war loan, there is to reason to
believe that it has been over-subscrib-

less than that.

pkTROGRAD, October 5.-Following
a heavy bombardment of the Russian
trenches before Dvinsk yesterday, the
German infantry advanced and seized
the positions, occupying the trenches.
This was the signal for a tremendous
counter bombardment from the Rus
sian artillery, which had the range ex-
actly, and the German occupants of
the trenches were smothered with the
rain of bursting steel and wiped out.
Following this check of the Germans,
the Russians advanced, swept past the
twice taken trenches and drove the re-
treating Germans at the point of the
bayonet back through four villages
The losses on both sides were very
heavy, while the Russians took several
thousand prisoners.

CALT LAKE CITY, October
~ 5.-The conditions under
which the government of Ger
many agrees to allow the ex-
portation Of sufficient sugar beet
seed for the American planting
next year were transmitted to the
sugar men present at the meeting
of the United States Sugar
Manufacturers Association here
Z yesterday and received with a
degree of CONSERVATION, mas
much as it does not seem prob
able that the terms can be COM
piled with because Of the un-
doubted opposition Of the British
government.
The announcement from the
state department is that the ex-
portation of the seed will only be
allowed by, Germany on the basis
of an exchange. Germany will
permit the United States beet
growers td iht,5,. seed sto the
value Of $S50,00O, provided pay
ment be made in foodstuff, laid
down at some German port.
British Make Concession
Great Britain has notified the
United States that it will lift its
order in council prohibiting Ger
man exports to the extent Of al
lowing the seed shipments to
pass the blockade, granting this
concession in view of the Ameri-
can necessity and as proof of the
British contention that they seek
to embarrass as little as possible
the trade and business of Amer
ica. That the British will go so
far as to permit the entrance of
foodstuffs into Germany in ex-
change for the seed is something
which few believe possible.
The other German conditions,
that the American department Of
agriculture act as distributor for
the seed and guarantee that none
of it be exported to Canada, can
be readily met.
Serious Problem Faced
Unless the seed can be secured
from Germany or Russia, the
beet sugar production in the
United States will be cut down
by one-half next year. The
mother beet" stands in Utah,
Colorado and California will sup
ply about fifty per cent of the
seed needed to maintain the aver
age acreage in the sugar beet
States.
The state department accom-
panieS its announcement of the
German terms with the state
ment that Germany has hereto
fore refused to accept cash in ex-
change for the, seed, but that eff
forts are contemplated to renew
the offer to send gold to meet the
purchase bihs, in lieu of the food
products desired.
