ENGLAND TO
REMAIN FIRM
Not Likely to Change in Any
Respect Her Blacklist
Policy.

London, Sept. SIT is not likely
that Great Britain will change her
black list policy at the request of the
United States" said Lord Robert Ce-
Gil, minister of war trade, in discus
sing the possible effect of recent
American retaliatory legislation. To
the Associated Press, Lord Robert
stated that reply to the blacklist pro-
test made by the United States may
be expected soon.
Lord Robert, however, declined to
enter into the details of the contents
of the reply beyond the statement
that the principle embodied in British
legislation forbdding trading with an
enemy country is unlikely to be sur
rendered in any measure.
The minister of war trade profess
ed himself to be puzzled by the pro-
visions in the revenue bill passed by
congress at Washington, dealing with
the prohibition of imports, as such or
ders, he said, were adopted strictly in
an effort to conserve tonnage and
were applied accordingly.

RUSSIANS CONTINUE
THEIR OFFENSIVE
Heavy Bombardments Mark the
Fighting on the somme Front
in France.

London, Sept. S.-Roumania, which
entered the European war less than
two weeks ago, is the scene of a great
battle between sso-Roumanian fore

are engaged from the Black sea 20 the
Danube, along a front of about 70
miles.
The Bulgarian and Turkish troops,
advancing along the Black sea coast,
have occupied Baltjik and two other
seaports, Sofia reports, and the fort
ress of Dobritch, or Bazardjik, so
miles southeast of Bucharest, has
been taken by a combined Bulgar-G Ger-
man force. The armies of the central
powers have not yet crossed the Dan
ube, all reports agree.
The ROumanians continue their Of
fensive in eastern Pennsylvania and
have also occupied the important vii
lage of Orsova, on the Danube, above
the Iron Gates. Advancing from Scig
! S2ereda, in Transylvania, north Of
Kronstadt! the, Roumanjans are driv,
ing westward and Vienna admits the
withdrawal Of Austrian forces before
attacks against Hargitta.
Russians Cross Dvina.
The Russians on the northern end
of their line near Riga have commenc-
ed new undertaking, and have cross
ed the Dvina, north Of Dvinsk. Re-
peated efforts by the Germans to dis
lodge them, Petrograd declares, have
been unsuccessful.
In eastern Galicia, the Austro-Ger
mans are fighting desperately to hold
back the Russians advancing on Hav-
liz, southeast of Lemberg. Petrograd
says the Austro-German forces have
fallen back to the western bank Of
the Gnita Lipa, while Vienna asserts
the troops of the central powers are
| holding their own in the heavy fight
ing Russian attacks against German
positions on the Zlota Lipa, southeast
of Brzezany, failed with heavy losses,
Berlin reports.
Bombardments Near Somme.
On the Somme front, in France, the
violent bombardment continues along
almost the entire line. The only in
fantry engagements have taken place
south of the river. The French re-
port a further advance for their
troops in the village Of Vermandovil-
lers. In the Berny-en-Senterre and
Chaulnes sector, where the fighting
was particularly vicious. both the Ger
mans and the French claim successes
for their armies in the repulse of at
tacks.
There has been no infantry action
on the front in Greek-Macedonia, but
the artillery duels have continued
along the Struma and in the region of
Lake DOiran.

Commission Authority
to Act..

sion which, in the opinion of promi-
nent attorneys, may, III effect, estab'

rates set by the states for intra-state
business, was handed down here to-

of South Dakota shippers for an in
junction to restrain express compan-
les doing business in the state from
increasing their tariffs to conform
with the uniform rates fixed by the
interstate commerce commission.
The interstate commerce commits
sion also was made defendant in
the judgment. Judge w. |. Smith of

peals and Judge Martin J. Wade of
the Iowa federal district court sign
ed the decision. Judge Henry T. Reed
of the federal district court, North
ern District of Iowa, dissented.
Arguments for the defense which
were approved by ,thesS,Scisica Of the
court held that the question to be
decided was whether the interstate
commerce commission was superior

the state in regulation of corpora
tion engaged in interstate business,
for business which originates and ter.
inmates wholly within the state
whose laws were called in question
by the rates fixed by the interstate

Washington, Sept. S.-Heavy dam
age to the country's cereal crops dur
ing August caused a loss of many
millions Of bushels in prospective pro-
duction, cutting down the outlook for
wheat to below the amount required
for home consumption.
The department of agriculture's
monthly forecast, issued today, esti-
mates the wheat crop at 61l,O00,O0O
bushels, or 100000 bushels less than
is calculated to be necessary for do
mestic use. A carry-over of approxi-
mately 16O,O00,000 bushels of old
wheat from last years record break
ing crop will make up the deficiency
and leave something like 100,000,000
bushels available to supply the heavy
demands of foreign nations for wheat.
Spring wheat, parched by hot and
dry weather, showed a loss of 43.OOO,-
