French Take Rove
British Bdpdume
Allies Again Reach Old Hindenburg Line
In Desperate Fighting

PARIS, Aug 27-French forces have
captured the town OF Roye.
London, Aug. 27.-The British forces
are established in the northern out
skirts Of Bapaume, according to the
official statement issued at the war
Office today.
Smashing through the German lines
in the battlefield OF northern Picardy,
the British troops have reached the
northern and western outskirts OF Ba-
paume.
The official statement issued at Lon
don today shows slow but continued
progress in almost every part of the
line from Croiselles. far to the north,
to well below the Somme river.
Germans Fighting Savagely
There is little indication, however,
that the new German armies are de-
mCralized in the battle that is going
on from Arras to scissors. At every
point they seem to be fighting savage
ly and to be compelling the British
and French TO extend themselves to
the limit.
On one section of the battlefield
the British are on the Hindenburg
line but apparently have not progress
ed east of it on a front of any great
width. Important gains have been
made astride the Arras-Cambrai road
and another push like hat OF Mon
days will place the northern wing
of the British attacking army on
ground virtually ~unscarred by fight
ing.
Additional Prisoners Taken
Additional prisoners have been TAX
en- by the British who also have in
creased their captures of material and
machine guns. German losses still
are heavy.
French Take FresnOy
Fighting activity on the French Sec
ton of the battle line has been cohfin-
ed to the eastern and western ex-
tremities. North and south of Roye
in hard lighting against the Germans
that were ordered to fight to the last,
the French have taken Fresnoy and
st. Mard Six hundred prisoners and
many machine guns also were cap
tured. British aviators have bombed
Mannheim and Frankfort with success
while American bombing machines
have attacked Contains, zetween Metz
and verdun.
American Hold Advantage
With the American Forces on the
vesle, Aug. q. a p. m.)-American
troops today attacked the Germans in
the region of Bazoches, three miles
west Of Fismes. simultaneously the
Germans attacked the American lines
at Fismette, about a mile northwest of
Fismes. Infantry fighting in the out
skirts of Bazoches still is continuing.
The Americans at present r holding
the upper hand.

MILLION BU. GRAIN
FOR LOCAL MARKET
Elevator Men Preparing For Record
Receipts From Big Grain
Crop

WILL III GotlLl0tC0 tOt0t Va ACC
100000 bushels of grain to be mar
keted in the territory tributary to
Miller. the local grain men are pre-
pairing to handle the largest receipts
ever delivered at this market. For
work of receiving grain has already
started at a lively pace, and elevator
capacity will Dol be taxed IL there
should be any shortage In cars. Rail-
road men, however, say there are
hundreds of cars on the side tracks in
South Dakota ready to start the con
tinuous stream of golden grain to the
big terminals.
Average Yield New Record
The estimated total of wheat alone
due at local elevators is over 400 900
bushels, in an average yield of 20 bus
hels per acre, to be sold at the govern
ment price of So per bushel.
Other grains will vary from day to
day upon the usual market regula-
lions, based primarily upon supply
and demand-and the fluctuations of
a speculative market
Good Yields OF Grain
The special yields reported are of
course the best ones-which is one
of the ommon p~ecuIsrities of human
nature. While all may be considered
good, yet there Isl considerable vari-
alton. For instance an occasional
yiel of 40 bushels of wheat per acre
may be offset by the other extreme OF
an occasional yield of Is per acre.
Both are unusual. And, strange as it
may appear, extremes nearly as great
may be found upon the same farm,
where a choice piece of corn ground
has to make up the average with a
tract of stubble ground.
But with these usual and customary
handicaps, the grain experts are plac-
ing the wheat average at 20 bushels
per acre all around, which is almost
double the government ten year aver
age for the UnitedgAiieeates.
Roy Trotman. M6rence Twp, re-
ports 40 bushels of wheat per acre on

Magness Bros, st. Lawrence Twp,
and Palmer & Kruger, Miller Twp,
top the oat Yields at 81 and 70 bushels

Yields of 20 to 30 on wheat, and 80
to so on barley are reported from
many farms. These yields come from
the shocked fields. where threshing
is now quite general. The stacked
grain will carry threshing into the
winter, as long as weather permits.
sf,25O,00O Cash for Surplus
The total yield of all grains in Mil
Ter territory will be over a million
and one half bushels, worth more
than two million dollars. Outside of
feed and seed the surplus of this crop

a cash value of s~1.250.000. The

The entire allied line in France and
Flanders still stand firmly. Nowhere
have the Germans been able to make
a further dent in it. Hard fighting
has been in progress on the Ypres Sec
tor around VOormezeele and to the
south at Locre. Both places have sew
eral times changed hands, but at last

tured by the British but the Ger

in Locre.
VOOrmezeele was taken by the Ger
mans Saturday but the British in
night attack won it back and since
have held 1t, inflicting heavy casualties
on the Germans.
The Germans have tried at several
points along the front held by the
French to pierce the line, but every
where have been repulsed, notably in
the st. Mihiel and Luneville sectors.
Aside from the attacks and few
unimportant operations between the
British and the Germans, artillery
duels have predominated
AS a whole there Is no material
change in the situation along the en-

II is not evident that the Germans are
prepared for the present to resume
the offensive. which has cost them so
dearly in men killed, wounded or
made prisoners. Reports coming by
way of London are to the effect that
in Germany there is much perturba-

pierce the allied line.
The operations in the Italian the

Likewise in Macedonia comparative
quiet prevails, although there has been
considerable Smelling of opposing po-
