of the French troops has disturbed this
calculation. Our poilus. although much
less numerous, have replaced the Eng
lish in this sector. so that our allies
can dispose of all their reserves to
continue the fight on the other sectors.
The Germans have not done any
thing further than apply the formula
from which they cannot depart. but
Charges are in close formation, more
compact than in 1914
The military critic of the Journal
makes the observation that the German
command is far from having attained
his detectives. He writes:
Haste to Report Gains.
1.-The enemy is adopting. at least
to all appearances. the plan of limited
detectives. He announces the success
of the first phase of the battle with
haste which does not precisely indi-
cate an overwhelming confidence in
the future If we must take the Ger
mans at their word we have, then, the
right to affirm that at the end of four
days they have not reached the OBJ
jectives which, according to their own
plans, had been assigned for the first
day. In reality the line in front of
which they would have stopped would,
if conquered. have been the first great
result of the action.
Until now the result attained does
not exceed that which is practically
inevitable in an action where such
energetic methods have been brought
to bear. We have always attained
the same, and it is not to be supposed
that the enemy employing enormous
forces would not have the same for
tune 1t is very difficult to realize
that he has used half of his divisions
in the west solely for the pleasure of
gaining limited extent of ground of
the usual proportions in an operation
of this character
Resume Of Situation.
Tho Petit Journal also gave a resume
Of the military situation as follows:
The Germans have in front of them
an adversary whose tenacity is we'll
known and who has at his disposal
every means and every resource to con-
tinue the struggle VIGOROUSLY. On the
other hand. one must not forget that
the Germans for the reason Of their
advance and in spite Of the arrival of
reserves will find it necessary to pause
and bring up their heavy artillery to
the new line Of combat. The English

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.--Prices and dis

the War Industries Board. Regulations
issued prescribing certain fixed prices

in general policy for price control
Of clothing.
This vas disclosed to-day by Chair
man Baruch of the board In an address
at a special meeting OF the National
Retail Dry Goods Association. Refer
ring 10 the agreement between the board
and the shoe industry. Mr.. Baruch said !:
After that will have 10 come the

Of the things which you gentlemen have

II can't be done. because it must be

When It comes to the question .:

Though no details of the plan TO be

"The probable reasons why

the newspaper, "were, first, to
prevent general food of infor-

conditions from being divulged.
Second. she didn't want the
mass of her own men returned
because she would have to pay
them, thus being deprived of the
cheap slave labor supplied by
prisoners.
Third, she knew German pris-
