FURS COMMAND HIGH PRICES
More Than Ever Are Pelts of Animals Coming to Be Considered Arti-

The high cost of living has desir- able running mate in the high cost of ornamental wearing apparel which has suddenly dawned in another article climbing up to a price never dreamed of in the luxury of adorning ones self with a pelt of some faverite aRfm8 skillfully made up for the trade
 For instance, the coyote has Jumped in raw state to as high as S10 and not lower than SC.

 "Can't?" I repeated in surprise. Why can't you?"

BRITISH WITHSTAND
 GERMAN OFFENSIVE
AT SOME PLACES BRITISH LINE WAS BENT, BUT NOT AS MUCH
 AS EXPECTED BY EXPERTS.
TEUTONS USE 100000 MEN
American Cannon Have Continued Terrific Pounding of German Lines and Raiding Parties Have Found
 German Trenches Demolished.

New 4ork-In a battle that has riY- a1ed in feroeity any of the world war, the British on a 50-mile front have withstood d great German offensive in it's first stages. At some points the 1 British line has bent back, but not as much as had been expected by mill tary experts, who knew of the forces the Germans had brought up and the power of the guns they had upon and behind the line.
 As the result of the struggle on that part of the front just west Of Cambrai, where the fighting was ap- parently hottest, the British lin has nowhere been broken and Field Mar shal Haig's men have inflicted fright ful losses on the enemy.
 As an indication of the bloody na- ture of the fighting. the Berlin War Office says that 16,000 men and 200 guns have been captured. British losses in the German counter offensive of December 4, 1917, were 6,000 men and loo guns captured.
 The first reports of infantry fighting indicate an attempt by the Germans to drive wedges into both sides of the Cambrai salient, isolate the Brit ish troops further east and regain the Hindenburg line. from which they were driven November 22, 1917, by General Byng's sudden blow. Later dispatches have proved that this was the plan of the German General Staff. The fighting on the remainder of the 50-nile front was but side issue to the terrific onslaught aimed at Gauche wood and Lagnicourt, the south and north bases of the salient
 There is no data upon which it is possible to estimate the success at tained by the Germans to the south, but names of towns where the armies were battling today show that on the northern side of the salient the Ger mans bent the British line back about two and a half miles. It was reported that St. Leger was the scene of a hard struggle and that Doignies had been retaken by the British.
 The concentration Of men and artil. lery on the British front, as shown in official reports, demonstrates that the l Germans are making a determined eff fort to smash the British front. Forty divisions or about 100000 Teutonic troops are in the fight. Unofficial re- ports say that they had 1000 guns on one small sector. Austrian and Bull garian troops have made their appear ance on the British front
 American cannon have continued the terrific pounding of the German lines in the Luneville sector and raid ing parties have found that the Ger man trenches have been demolished. So complete is the evacuation of the German first lines that an American | patrol crossed No Mans Land with out artillery assistance and without being fired on by the enemy.

POOLING RESERVES
 OF ALLIED ARMIES
WILL PERMIT OVERWHELMING CONcENT RATIoNs AT SELECT.
 ED POINTS OF ATTACK.

Washington. - The key to the 1913 riddle of the Western battle front is in the hands of the Supreme War Council at Versailles.
 Decision as to the major offensives by the allies rests with that body. It controls, also, officials here believe, a new weapon forged during the win ter, with which to make effective it's plans of grand strategy. That is be- lieyed to be a pooling of the reserves ] of all the allies armies, permitting i overwhelming concentrations at se- lected points of attack.
 American observers are convinced that the German high command plans a defensive campaign and that the much-adyertised drive on Paris or the channel ports has been abandoned. The initiative, according to this view, | rests with the allies and the Amerf can forces.
 Decision by the War Council, of ficers here believe, as to the field where these and similar forces from OlALN4 cl4 AA44Co cll lO D6 COAGEAtl dLSQs will show where allied blows at the German defenses will fall. If there is to be no German drive~as the War Department predicted, the council will not be forced to hold its reserves for defense and can devote this new agency 10 attempts to smash weak points in the German line.
 Opinion as to the sectors offering the best opportunity for allied as saults varies widely here. There is agreement, however that the Italian front may become the center of war this year Austro-German concentra- tions, and possible offensive on that front, also noted by the weekly war summary, may represent the recogni- tion of this view by the German high command.
 The pooled allied reserves under di- rection of the Supreme Council would make possible a campaign of such na- ture, designed to keep the German command perplexed as to which as sault would be driven home In that position, adequate German forces of selected troops necessarily would be held ready to support either line and they must be held somewhere in Ger many with transportation available in either direction.
 If the assault were to be made in Flanders, the French reserves could take over trenches now held by the English, except on the sector Of ope- rations. British troops thus released would be available for attack with their comrades on that sector. If ad- ditional reserves were needed. Gen. eral Pershing might expand his front on the right flank, where he is now gradually taking over the American sector. The French troops released l then could be shifted to the French left flank. where it connected with the British line, and could De readily employed as a part of the attacking force. Such operations would involve no intermixing of transport and SUD- ply lines.
