"The honor of capturing the ruins
of Zonnebeke fell to Scottish troops,
They had to witstand strong coun-

on the day of the grand assault the
fighting was still in progress.
"The Scottsmen had run out Of

All they had to fight with were clubs,
bayonets and stones.
"The Germans had been ordered
by Prince Rupprecht to die rather

FLOUR DOWN 81 BARREL

Bread Prices May Soon be Affected
BY Cut.
Baltimore, Sept. 29.-Householders
may soon derive the benefit from the
policy Of the Government in taking
over the wheat supply and fixing
prices for this grain. The GambriIl
Manufacturing Company, the largest
-four millers in this section, has
made reduction of 81 Il barrel in
-four to take effect Immediately. 1t
is in the price of -four and of bread
in which the fixing of the wheat prices
will be of most benefit to the house
holders and consumers. This reGuc-
ton should be followed by some les
Senirg in the price of bread.
This reduction by the City Mills,
as the output of the Gambrill Com
pany is known in the trade, makes
the dealers price for the best blend
of family flour S12 an barrel, while
the price of winter patents is $ll.35
barrel, These prices compare with
SIT best grades during the time when
wheat was soaring skyward ana ss-
fore the Government took charge OF
the situation. Therefore, the reduc-
ton is s5 barrel for the best blends
and $5.65 for the winters.
Some grades of flour sold as high
as $50 a barrel at retail during the
period of high wheat prices. No one
anticipates that the Government
will consent to raise the price OF
