"ferce fighting" Is in progress south of
the Pripet. in Galicia. coupled with Fct-
roprad advices telling of the concentra-
ton of 100000 German and Austrian

intimates that further tremendous con-
ficts may be looked for in the near
future.

1t is pointed out by the groccrs in
their resolutions that capital invested
in their business is turned over more
often than that in any other line OF
merchandise. and that to levy tax
based on purchases would greatly in
