ECONOMY ENJOINED
BITS OF NEWS

Washington, Nov. 6.-Despite
peace propects prices generally
throughout the United States are
showing tendency toward a fur
ther upward movement" according
to the federal reserve boards
monthly review today of business
conditions as reported by agents in
each federal reserve district. In
creases are particularly noticeable
in commodity lines not affected by
the governments price fixing pro-
gram.
Rising prices and credit imitation.
the board says, must be opposed by
strictly personal economy. Despite
war economy propaganda, it ap-
pears, says the board, that many
classes of the population are still
spending their current incomes as
freely as ever, notwithstanding the
fact that prices today are at a rec
ord figure because they have not yet
embraced the national duty to save

Duel on Sedan Sector
By Associated Press.

With the American Army on the
Sedan Front, Nov. 6.-American and
German big caliber guns recently
had a duel on this sector and the
Americans apparently came out on
top.
About the time the American 2ir
guns began operations against the
enemy communication lines, the
Germans started shelling Verdun
and the region north and northwest
with a naval weapon of large caliber,
lhe Americans Immediately bepan
calculations to determine the D 81.
ton of the enemy gun and finallv
decided they had found its location.
Then the battle of the big guns
began. 1t continued day and night
for several days.
Suddenly, one afternoon, the Ger-
man big gun ceased firing and noth-
ing has been heard from it since.
The American gunners do not claim
a direct hit, but they do claim the
German battery was compelled to
withdraw, even if the heavy gun was
not damaged.
