Consolidate Gains.

Consolidate Gains.
With the British guns again forming
a barrage before the new German
lines, the Allies are consolidating their
gains. They are preparing especially
to meet heavy German counter at
taeks on the plateau south OF Albert.
Strategically this has been their great
est gain, as on il lie the impor,an,
villages Of Fricourt and Gommecourt
These command the road from Arras
TO Peronne, which has been one Of the
main German arteries OF communica-
tion. Its loss has not only seriously
crippled the munitionment OF the lines
in the sector. but II mas given the
Allies an avenue on which 20 base their
own advance.
II the Allies are able 70 press home
their advantage, the German hold on
scissors and the whole sector about
Rheims will be seriously ieopardizsd.

miles from Paris. and the Germans

raising the selling value Of the fiber
materially. This is true, every year,
they said, but during the present sea-

supplies at the mills, coupled with the
steady demand. have sent prices to
high levels, making the increase in re-
