ALLIES WELL PREPARED

LONDON, Sept. 4.--Austro- German
troops on the Macedonian and italian
fronts are showing signs Of preparations
Tor new offensive. according to state
ments issued to-day by the British and
italian War Oflces. An official state
ment issued here said that the forces Of
the Central Powers. under the cover Of
an intense bombardment. opened an at
tack on Monday against the allied forces
along the vardar River, and that the
enemy was repulsed.
At the same time the Italian War
Once reported an attack by Austrian
troops along the line north of the Noce
valley and to the south of Mantello.
This attack also was checked. accord
ing to the statement which follows:
ITALIAN-North of the head Of the
Noce Valley strong enemy columns
attacked yesterday from the east, after
artillery fire, our positions to the south
OF Mantellos They were arrested with
heavy losses by our fire. The enemy
succeeded in occupying two observa-
ton posts established on the crest be-
tween Mantello and San Matteo Point.
Enemy patrols were dispersed on
the Asiago Plateau and in the Brenta
Valley. Our batteries were somewhat
active against the enemy lines of
communication.
For some weeks II had been expected
that the Austro-German forces would
open a new campaign on the italian or
the Balkan fronts, but with the growth
or the allied offensive on the front In
France the report was discounted. be-
cause OF the ever increasing demands
there for the forces of the Central Pow
ers Austria repeatedly has called for
aid from the Germans for a new drive
against Italy, following the failures
earlier In the year.
When the allied pressure in the west
became heavy Germany turned the
tables and sought assistance from Aus
tria. Vienna. however. was unable to
deliver all the troops asked for by Ger
many and this increased the friction be-
tween the two Teutonic allies. Austria
did send some troops and reports of their
captures by the allied forces in France
have been made since July IS, the date
OF the opening of the present drive.
In some quarters here It Is believed
that the Central Powers may attempt
a new drive in Macedonia, Italy or per-
haps Albania for the political effect a
successful onslaught will bring. The
Allies, since the spring successes in Italy
and in Albania, are prepared for this
move. for the italian forces have been
augmented by French, British and Amer
lean soldiers. Still 1t il admitted that
Germany and Austria must do something
to brace tho weakening morale at home
and at the front. and this drive may be
attempted.

UNDERGOING sEvEREsr TRIAL
German Critic Adults PeriIous
situation of Won Boehn's Army,

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 4.--writing in the
Dusseldorf Ndchrichten Gen. Won Ar
denne, tie military critic. admits that
the German army is now unques tionably
undergoing 'the severest trial to which
It was ever exposed" but that 1.-THE
scales OF success are beginning to sink
slowly in its favor"
The German front as a whole. Gen.
Won Ardenne contends. will not witness
a much further withdrawal.
The war correspondent of the Frank
fort Gazette, telegraphing from the
front. says:
The events occurring on the northern
wing of the battle front may be de-
scribed as a preparatory battle for n
big general attack by the British and
French in the direction OF st. Quentin"
The aim Of the British, he says, Is to
dislodge the Germans from the southern
Somme position. Further heavy fighting
must be expected by Germany. he writes.
The military critic OF the Berlin
Kreus Zeitun1 expresses relief that the
front of March 81 is still some distance
back OF the present fighting line.
There Is now as little reason for de-
preston as during the Flanders battle"
he contends. THE summer of 1916 was
certainly more critical for u.s.

Favorite Smokes Are
Given Another Hike
in Price by Dealers

Coincident with the strike, an
other grief was added to the bur-
dens of large part of Omaha
population Wednesday.
Cigar smokers who called at their
Ifavorite stores for their daily
smokes were confronted by ad-
vanced prices on all of the we'll
known brands.
Cigars that had been retailing for
6 cents had been marked Up to 7
cents, 7-cent cigars to s, or two for
IS; i0-cent frauds to Is cents or
two tcr rs, and so on up the line.
Whats the matter" grumbled
one smoker who regarded the raise
with a crouch, trying to get rich
quick, now that it is not treason
able to profteer?"
NO" replied the dealer, sadly,
Don't pass the buck to US retailers.
The manufacturers are merrily try
ing to see how much the traffic will
Lear"
There had been an unusual de-
mand for the good old jimmy pipe
and honest-to-goodness smoking, as
well as Virginia cheroots and Pitts
burgh stogies since the raise went
into effect.

BASE BALL TO Be
REVIVED ON old
BASIS IN SPRING
Resumption of Game by Big
Leagues Sanctioned by
Gen. March in Letter
to Ban Johnson.

Chicago, Dec 4.-The positive an
nouncement that professional base
ball would be resumed in the major
leagues next season, with the gov
eminent sanction, was made by
President Ban Johnson Of the Amer
lean league tonight.
President Johnson's announce
ment was made after he had receiv-
ed letter from General March,
chief OF staff of the army, who ad-
vised that the War department, I'M
der present conditions, could see no
reason why the game should not be
resumed.
The War department closed us
down last September, by declaring
base ball non-essential and it was
only proper that the department
should be consulted in regard to our
plans for reopening," President
Johnson said. consequently | put
the entire situation before Genera!
March for his approval"
General March's reply to the
American league executive follows:
Il have your letter of November
so, concerning the resumption OF
base ball next year, and would advise
you that the War department, un-
der present conditions, sees no rea-
son why the game should not be re-
sumed in accordance with the usual
schedule.
at is our policy to muster out Of
service as rapidly as possible all the
men now in the United States, who
number some 100000, and we are
returning from abroad for the pur-
pose of discharge a number of men
which is only limited by the shipping
at our disposal.
UNLESS there are some changes
in the situation, which now seem
impossible, there is no reason known
to us why the great national game
should not be continued as usual
next year. The wholesome effect OF
a clean and honest game like base
ball is very marked and its dis
continuance would be a great mis-
fortune
President Johnson understands |
that the stars of base ball who join
ed the service, among them Ty Cobb |
Pitcher Alexander, Benny Kauff,
Hank" Gowdy and others, will be
among the first to receive their dis
charge so they will be in position to
