GREAT ARC IS FAST
CLOSING IN ON WARSAW

London, July 20.-With German
Field Marshalls Won Hindenburg on
the north, and Won Mackensen on the
south whipping forward two ends of
the Great arc around Warsaw, it is
realized here that Grand Duke Mich
olas has the most severe task imposed
upon him since the outbreak of war
in defending that city.
Some military writer's think this
impossible and newspapers in Lon
don already are discounting the fall
of Warsaw, saying the Russian army
has been under great difficulty on ac-
count of this salient fact, since it has
been unable to straighten out the line
by advances, either in East Prussia
or in Galicia. The German move
which is a colossal one, developed
with marvellous suddenness.
While comparative calm prevails
along the western front, the French
report considerable losses were in.
ficted on the Germans when the
French repulsed strong attacks or
the heights of Meuse. A violent can.
nonade near Souchez, the lombard
ment of Arras and fighting Will
bombs and petards in Argonne consti
tute virtually all the fighting tina
took place.
A Berlin newspaper reaching herr
publishes what purports to be the de.
tails of negotiations in 1912 looking
to an Anglo-German peace pact, and
claiming that Great Britain finally
refused to enter into it.
David Lloyd George has gone +
Cardiff to try and settle the Welsh
coal miners strike, which threaten
the coal supply of the British feet.

BAD CONDITION
IN YELLOW PINE
LUMBER MARKET
President of Southern Asso-
cation So Informs the
Trade Commission
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Chicago, July 19.-Charles S. Keith,
president of the Southern Pine Asso-
citation today told the federal trade
commission that conditions in the yell
low pine lumber are not good.
Mr.. Keith said his report covered
the last eight years and that during
that period, with the exception of the
last half of 1912 and the first part of
1913, the market had been unsatis-
factory.
Today" said Mr.. Keith's state
ment, the lumber manufacturing
business is virtually ruinous and has
been ever since the beginning of 1914.
This state of affairs was accentuated
Immediately after the declaration of
war. On the outbreak of war, re-
duction of So per cent, came in the
volume of sales in August, as COM
pared with July. In September there
was 80 per cent reduction as COM
pared with August. This decrease
resulted in the price of yellow pine
reaching S11.53 a thousand feet at
the mills in December.
''The cost of production OF yellow
pine lumber in 1914 was shown to be
not less than $13.75 thousand feet,
while the price of lumber fell from
the high mark of 1882 in February,
1913, TO $11.s3 in December, 1914.
'This situation has affected work
( ing conditions. In some cases, wages
have not been cut, but hours have
been increased, while in many In
stances wages have been reduced
from 10 per cent to as much as 2;
per cent"
