British today carried out an attack on
two-mile front west and south of

evacuating Grandcourt.
Not one of the 300 prisoners taken
had had food for twenty-four hours,
some having been for forty-eight
hours without food, for during that
time the British guns had cut off all
supplies from behind the lines. The
prisoners virtually all were Prussians
and the first request made was for
food.
The British troops easily attained
the first objeCtives. They continued
to go forward just south of Mirau-

WOOL PRICES RUN TO
EXTRAORDINARY FIGURES

Salt Lake CITY, Utah, Feb. 18--
Contracts for nearly so per cent of the
April clip of Utah wool, which, it is
estimated, will amount to 100000
pounds, have been signed and show
prices ranging from 80 to 38 cents a
pound. The lowest prices were paid
for southern wool and the higher
prices for northern wool, but as an
average they represent the highest
market ever offered for wool in Utah.
In turn, sheep men in Idaho and
Wyoming, with a better grade of wool
of longer fibre, are commanding prices
from 36 to 40 cents a pound and in
some instances II cents a pound has
been contracted for.
