PRICES OF MEAT
TO TAKE A DROP
Encouraging Report Issued BY Ma
tional Livestock Ex-
change

The report sent out from Chicago
yesterday by the secretary of the Ma
tional Livestock Exchange that prices
for beef and other meat products
would be lower by winter was receiv-
ed by Baltimore housewives, hotel and
restaurant keepers with rejoicing.
A visit to the meat packing houses
of the city in some measure confirms
the statement and brings out the
fact that prices now prevalent for
beef are considerably lower than was
the case but a few weeks ago.
In the Chicago advices the reason
assigned for bringing about lower
prices was that the producing public,
as ii relates to cattle, hogs and
sheep, had responded beautifully to
the appeal of the government for in
creased production. and census
taken in SO markets, and covering the
first five months of the year, showed
an increased cattle production of 12.4
per cent. over the corresponding per-

ALLIES ADVANCE
 ON FOUR SECTORS
Thrust of l0-Belgian Armies a Complete Surprise to Enemy -LudendOrif's Task is Becom ing Desperate.

Paris, Sept. 29.-The allied advance on four sectors, from the North Sea to the Mouse, continues and important strategical points are being taken from the Germans by the Sledge-ham- mer blows of the French, British. American and Belgian forces.
 Not since the first battle of the Marne has there been an attack to compare in extent with the present operations. The new thrust of the Angle Belgian armies was complete surprise to the Germans and is meet ing with marked success. It is being made against territory held by the enemy since l9l4 The number of prisoners increases hourly and the ad- vance goes on steadily, despite the fierce resistance of the Germans.
 The power of the Anglo Belgian at tack is shown by the fact that the Germans have lost the great Houth- olSt forest and the village of Ghelu- welt, the key to the lpreS-Menin road
 Meanwhile the plight of the Ger mans in the Cambrai sector has been aggravated by the loss of valuable railway communications The enemy in that region k now in serious position. that of abandoning the Him denburg line, which already has been pierced at four points.
 On the Champagne-Verdun front the armies of Generals Gouraud and Liggett are progressing steadily. The French and American forces in the last 24 hours captured the strong po- sitions of Somme-Py, Mature. Grateful and Bouconville and had extended the advance east of the Argonne. Since the beginning of the attack in this section. General Gauraud has broken the resistance os T German divisions.
 General Ludendortf's task is becom- ing desperate His mobile reserve has decreased markedly and he has no sector from which he can take troops to meet any one of the four allied thrusts.
 General Mangin's army yesterday performed master stroke in the cap ture of Fort Malmaison and this sue cess is expected to lead to the capture of the entire Chemin des Danes ridge. The German positions on the ridge are being subjected to a heavy artil- lery bombardmcnt
 The American army operating on the Champagne front has captured Brieullcs sur Mouse and Romagne, west of that town on the outskirts of the forest of Romagne and the attack k progressing faNorably.

 The news from Bulgaria which comes through various channels com pels the belief that the Prussia of the Balkans is not merely seeking breathing spell but really wants peace. All the evidence indicates that she needs it grievously and must have it.
 The German pretense that Premier MalinoH was acting on his responsi- bility finds no confirmation. King Ferdinand's crown is at stake and he is trying to save his dynasty.
 The Bulgarian finance minister and the army commander-in-che are now on their way to the front, according to the newspaper Vaterland, which adds that an American attache will partci- pate in the negotiations
 While Bulgaria has been disente- grating for months as a factor in the war her military defeat has brought matters swiftly to crisis. Her three armies are separated and not only are beaten but two of them are scattered in flight, with their German allies sharing the same fate. Yesterdays official report from the front speaks of the number of prisoners taken and points out that most of them were Germans.
