so as to limit their gross margins over
cost to the average Of such gross mar
gins during the year 1915 plus max
imuin of thirty percent of the 1915
margin, provided that in no case shall
the average margin of the month Of
July, this year, be exceeded.
Another order revises upward the

NO NEWS FROM BELGIUM
The Huns Bomb London For
the Fifth Time In One
Week.

The veil of secrecy which has hung
over the operations along the British
front in Belgium and northern France
since the latter part of the week still
remains impenetrable, so far as the
news offerings of the British war Of
flee are concerned.
Since nothing except brief state
ments have reached the outside world
from Field Marshal Haig's headquar-
ters, Sunday nights report chronicles
the repulse of three German attacks
in the Ypres sector, with losses to the
attackers, including a number Of
prisoners and several machine guns.
The Germans, the British statement
says, after heavily bombarding their
detectives, employed thick smoke
barrage to cloak their advance and
also used fame throwing apparatus.
The artillery activity continues be-
tween the Ypres-Comines canal and
Zonnebeke and in the Newport sec
tor.
Meanwhile, with the French and
Germans still engaged in the usual
artillery battles along the southern
front in France, the Italians have
started another big offensive against
the Austrians on the Isonzo 'front.'
where for fortnight virtual quietude
had prevailed. On the Bainsizzs
plateau height positions haye been
stormed and taken by Gen. Cadorna's
forces and 1,409 prisoners captured
Daily the Italians continue their
aerial bonibardments ofAustrian posi-
tons with large quantities of explo-
sives. The great fortress of Pola
again has received a visitation and
enemy depots at Berie, near Nabre-
sina, northeast of Triest on the Gulf
OF Triest, have been bombed.
Keeping up their almost nightly at
lacks by air during the last week
German air raiders again visited the
London district and the Kent and Es-
sex coasts Sunday night. Everywhere
the raiders dropped bombs. II isre-
ported that one of them was brought
down. In expectation Of nightly raids
the streets of London were much less
crowded than ordinarily. A majority
of the people went early to their
homes and services in the churches
were held at 5 o'clock instead of
In the raid of Saturday night eleven
persons were killed and eighty-two
injured.
Intensive air fighting and bomb
dropping exhibitions also continue in
Belgium and northern France.
BRITISH WIN NEAR BAGDAD.
A stronger hold has been obtained
by the British on Bagdad through the
capture from the Turks of the nlaia
Ottoman position in the region of Re
Made.
The Ottoman general, Ahmed Bey
his staff and several thousand mes
we're taken prisoners and a large
quantity of guns and ammunition was
captured.

NEW ARMY TO BE
$4,000 SHORT
At Least 1877, 900 Of $4,000
Needed for National Guard
loo, 600 For Air Service.

Washington, Oct. There is little
doubt now that a large deficiency OF
men will be show when the first in
crement of the national army-6S7, :
600 men-has been modified.
Seventeen national guard divisions
must be brought up to war strength
and several special forces organized
out of this reserve, so that the num-
Der of drafted men remaining at the
cantonments hcrdly will be sufficient
to organize the IS national army d.
visions at a full strength basis.
Whether incomplete divisions will be
formed or call for more men issued
has not been indicated.
Sec. Baker said that definite fig
ures as to the number of national ar
my men it would be necessary to
transfer to the national guard were
4Otavailable. Dual process OF organ
patton at the guard encampments
serves to delay complete reports. Not
only are divisions being modified for
the first time, but in the midst OF that
mobilization the whole fabric OF the
infantry army is being reorganized on
the trench warfare plan.
The fighting strengthen the new di-
vision is now fixed at $1,000 men.
The seventeen guard divisions on that
oasis will have a total strength OF
49, 900 msa.
The guard probably brought iRto
Asae federal service total of net more
Van aQe. 900 men, possibly less. II
will take, therefore, at least 1877, 900
National army men 10 I'LL up the guard

Asrmy will 90 into the air sery-
! ice and certainly as many more to 9th

not more than 2500O0 men to form
the sixteen national army divisions
which should have z war strength Of
