Grand Forks clothing merchants,

trary, this fall are able to furnish
their customers with all-wool cloth
ing articles. Several days ago, a
story appearing in The Herald de-
clared that Atwood suits would be

misleading. in that it did not differ

and retailers. The government has
taken over the wooden supply Of the
country and after manufacturers
have used their present supply. they
car get. no more wool for underwear
and suits.
Grand Forks merchants fortunately
had laid in a large supply of wooden
clothing Of all kinds. All, clothiers
are well supplied, and they can sat

goods as in former years and at prices
lower than those being demanded for
such articles purchased in the market

The Part French Played.

With the American Army in Fra-co.
Sunday, Sept 15.-(Reuters. )-The
role of the French divisions engageu
in the st. Mihiel battle was to attack
the head of the salient and assist the
Americans in their drive against its
the Americans VA pushing through
the southern side Of the salient. Only
a few French divisions were engaged,
one of which. under American com
mand, formed the extreme left of the
attack on the western front of the
salient. 1t had a powerful force of
Americans on its right.
This Franco-American army Started
from the region Of Les Eparges and
with the Woevre army from Vigneul-
les. Other French divisions cooper
ated in the attack on both sides Of
the head Of the salient.
The hardest task fell. to the d.
vision which attacked north Of st.
Mihiel. It had to fight it's way across
the densely wooded massif on the
heights of the Meuse and carry hills
Of twelve hundred feet in the face of
enemy resistance. This division took
$500 prisoners, OF whom 1900 were
Austrians.
St. Mihiel, cut off from the north
and the south, was taken without a
fight. the Germans slipping out on
Thursday night. Aware that an attack
was imminent, they had begun to re-
tire to the Hindenburg line, or as they
call this section, the ''main line of
defense This f"Kriemhild" position
spans the base Of the salient from
Etain to the vicinity Of Pagny.
The attack was launched al exactly
the right moment. Had it been post
poned a day or two longer, the enemy
would have had his troops safely
slowed away behind the "Kriemhild'
trenches and the Allies would have
captured neither men o material
Enemy stores and depots in the salient
had to be, burned and the Germans SCI

Mouse, but the damage done was less
than anticipated.
French and American forces were
today in contact with the Kriemhild
defenses, which are certainly Of
strength. Yet it, may be
doubted whether the enemy feels safe
in these entertainments after having
been driven in a day from some Of the
strongest natural positions on the
whole front. These positions with
