PRICES REPORTED
Business no Longer Engag-

To Buy Goods
(By Associated Press


New York, Aug. 25.-Dunn's Re-
view today says:
Actual and prospective regulation
of commodity prices has been the
dominating factor in many indus
tries and in securities markets and
IN certain raw materials and manu-
featured products decisive readjust-
ment has resulted from other than
official action. In contrast to the
former, rapid and practically general
upturn more recessions than adj
vances now appear in wholesale
quotations and the possibilities of
further downward revisions enter
largely into calculations.
Where continued yielding is fore
Swallowed either because of accumu-
lations of supplies or for different
reasons, buyers are not disposed to
operate except at concessions by
sellers and where there is uncertain
ty as to the changes to be effected
as in steel and iron, new business is
waiting. Increasing caution in enter
ing upon forward engagements has
become a more conspicuous feature,
yet the abatement of the rush to
contract ahead at almost any figure
has made the situation more whole

PEACE ATTITUDE
CREATES STORM
Undercurrent of Doubt As
To His Full Support of
Resolution
SAYS DIFFERENCES
ARE POSSIBLE
Ebert, Socialist Leader,
Practically Accuses
Him of Falsehood
tBy Associated Press,

London, Aug. rs. - Special dis
patches from Amsterdam represent
the scene in the reichstag main COM
mittee Wednesday over Chancellor
Michaelis' attitude on the peace
resolution, as a storm which would
have resulted in ousting him from
Office in a Democratic country. Ac-
cording to these accounts. DR..
Michaelis was challenged when he
said July 10 he supported 1t he add
ed: CAS- / understand it,. This APP
parent qualification, said Herr
Michaelis' challengers, had been
seized by the annexationists who
claimed that the chancellor was real
ly on their side.
DR.. Michaelis: In replying, made
a laborious explanation in which,
while approving the general spirit of
the resolution, he said, differences of
opinion were possible regarding the
details and he had in fact noted such
differences among the majority
parties. This provoked an outburst
on the part of the representatives of
the majority parties in the name of
which Herr Friedrich Ebert,
Socialist leader, made a declaration
practically charging the chancellor
with falsehood.

Washington. Aug. 25.-The lull in

DENIES REMARKS
WERE DISLOYAL
Nomination as Brigadier-
General Held Up Pend
ing Investigation

Washington, Aug. 25.-Col. Carl
Reichmann, whose nomination as
brigadier general has been held up,
specifically denied before a senate
military sub committee yesterday
that he ever had said the army draft
law would be so unpopular as to
cause civil war, or that German
submarine warfare was justified url-
der international law or that Amer
ieans troops should not be sent to
France.
Regarding the charge that he had
defended German air raids on Eng
land and particularly one in which
children in schoolhouse were kill
ed, Colonel Reichmann explained
that in a discussion of the raids he
asked a companion whether English
air raids on Zeebrugge. Belgium,
were any more justified.
The colonel said he believed from
both a. military and a personal
standpoint troops should be sent to
France and that neither his German
parentage nor the residence of two
sisters in Germany would influence
his conduct If he should be placed
in charge of soldiers in the fighting
lines. He was as anxious to help
win the war for America, he de-
clared, as any other American off,
Ger.
The committee which is sitting in
executive session, expects to call
several witnesses named by Colonel
Reichmann and by Senator Poindex-
ter, as well as persons who have
written letters to the committee re-
Ngarding the case.

Herr Ebert said the majorities

unmistakable and they insisted that

peace policy. The chancellor, it is

greatly dissatisfied. The majority
parties met Immediately after
adjournment of the main committee
and later visited the chancellor.

New York.-The big fight is on
again in Flanders, and the Germans
are being hammered hard Field
Marshal Hatg is battering away on
the sector east and northeast of
Ypres, while French troops have join
ed with the British left wing to the
south of Dixmude in an endeayor TO
bring that sector of the line even with
the sharp wedge that has been driven
into the German front by Haig east of
Broodseinde.
Launching their attacks simultan-
eously both armies had made consid.
cradle gains before nightfall in addi-
ton to intiicting heavy casualties on
the Germans and taking many pris
oners. Before the announcement of
the commencement of the attack there
had been no intimation that the
Frenchmen were ready for an ad.
vance. In fact, it had been rather
expected that even the British COM
mander in chief would delay taking
the aggressive again for several days,
owing to the terrible condition of the
ground he is in quest ola veritable
marsh, owing to the heavy rains Of
Sunday and Monday.
With apparent ease the Frenchmen
crossed the flooded Broenbeek and
Jansbeek rivers, and captured the VIZ
lagos of st. Jean de Mangelare ana
Veldhoek, together with numerous
bloekhouses, and took prisoner sever
al hundred Germans. The advance of
the French was over a front of more
than mile and half, and they pene-
trated the German line to a depth of
one and quarter miles.
Haig's principal offensive conferred
on the portions of the Passchendaele-
Gheluvelt ridge, being directed east
ward from Poelcapelle, which was
captured, and northeast from Brood
seinde toward Passchendaele, the
ultimate objective still being the
Ostend-Lille road. The joint opera
ton makes more apparent the crown
ing desire of the allies in this re-
gfon-the forcing back of the Ger
mans to points where their evacuauoh
of Ostend and Zeebrugge, naval and
submarine bases on the North sea,
will become necessary.
At several points Haigs advance
was sharply contested by the Ger
mans, particularly north of Brood
seinde, the nearest approach to the
railroad line and near the Polderhoek
chateau. Nowhere were the Germans
able to stay the advance, except near
the Polderhook chateau, where the
terrific fire of their machine guns mo-
mentarily forced the British to give
ground. Later, the attacking troops
realigned themselves, and the success
full push went on again.
