for another raid into the German line
in Flanders.
Since the great advance of the mid
die week the British infantry has kept
to the trenches and shell craters, ex-
cept where forays were made to re-
align the new front, of counter attacks
were necessary to hold back weak Ger

tory.
The big guns never ceased their ac-

with the government prices now
named, and the output continues to
be limited at present only by the sup
ply of wheat, which still is cOnsid-

made all along the line. The new fig
ures are: For local patents 5000,
mixed 5000, Montana hard wheat
$1,000. and Dakota hard wheat $11.

in mill feed and grain prices. While
corn has advanced from $50 to $s5 a
ton, feed wheat, which was ST. a

the present quotation of $40 is cheap
er by 81 a ton. Shorts, instead OF

FORMER GERMAN AMBASSADOR IS TRYING TO AVERT WAR STRIFE
 BETWEEN GERMANY AND THE J. s.

ness man as an Intermediary who handled the negotiations with Won eernstorff.
 Count won Bernstorff was asked by Mr. Bryan if it were not possible for him to use his good offices with the Imperial government still to i'm. press on the Kaiser and his advisers the unwisdom of adding the United States 10 their list of enemies. Mir. ecrnstorff expressed entire sympa. thy with sryan's point of view and replied that he would be glad to express his opinion to this effect to the imperial government but was stopped by the fact that he is no longer ambassador but only a pri. vate citizen, with no means to com n1unieate secretly or even publicly with the German foreign offices.
 Mr. Bryan replied that he had no doubt but that arrangements could be made yet to have a code or even an open message sent by the SayViIIe wireless with the approval of our State Department to Berlin setting out his feelings and advice. The matter was taken up with President Wilson and it is understood that this was done.
 Watcher a message of this sort fromi em.German Ambassador Bern storff will have any effect in Ger. many is a matter of pure surmise. ..
