BIG GUNS ROAR
ON WEST FRONT
RENEWAL OF HEAVY ARTILLERY
MAY MEAN HUNS OPENING
OF sUPER-oFFENSIVE.
Considerable Activity in the Eastern
Theater-Brtish Raid Bulgarian
Lines-French Continue Their Ad-
vance, Driving Enemy From Hill 500.

London.-Renewal of heavy artillery
activity at many points on the western
front give rise to the belief in some
quarters that the long-delayed super
offensive may be in it's initial stages.
Big gun commandments are reported
on parts of the front held by French,
British and Americans, but infantry
operations have been confined to in
significant trench raids.
A press report says: There was in
creased artillery firing, in particular
long Smelling, on the American front
along the Marine throughout the night.
There was no infantry fighting. The
weather continues cloudy and uncer-
tain"
The French War Office announce
ment says:
"There was intermittent artillery ac-
tivity, especially in the region OF
Corey, but no infantry action.
Eastern Theater.-West of Dorian
British troops carried out a successful
raid on the Bulgarian lines. In Al
bania the French troops continued
their successful advance; they drove
the enemy from Hill 500 and from the
village of Marta, at the confluence or
the Tormorica and Devoli rivers. On
the right bank of the Devoli we occu-
pied Gramshi." =.
The report from Field Marshal Haig's
headquarters in France reads:
"By a successful local operation, car
ried out during the early part OF the
morning, English troops advanced our
line east of Dickebusch Lake and cap
tured more than 26O prisoners.
"On the remainder of the British
front there is nothing to report"
A report from Rome says:
"The Austrians no longer are as de-
termined as they formerly were and
surrenders by them are more frequent,
especially among the slavs, who are
dead tired of campaigning in the noun
tains. and throw up their hands at the
first opportunity The Austrians are
burning depots and villages which they
abandon.
"All information obtainable is to the
effect that the enemy's position in
Southern Albania is seriously compro-
missed and that there probably will be
a further retreat in the north, thus free
ing our communications between
Western Macedonia and the Adriatic
Coast"

BUSINESS HAMPERED.
UNCERTAINTIES OF PRICE-FIxlNG
PLANS AND PROPOSITION TO
PUT TAX ON MATERIALS.
Taking the Country as Whole, Mer-
camille Business Has Been Quite
Good, in Certain Manufacturing Gen.
ters Especially.

New Worthwhile the continuance
of favorable weather has permitted
nearly maximum production in varl-
GUS important industries the output,
as a rule, has been barely sufficient to
answer the expanding requirements
of the Government, and hence civilian
BUYERS still find little available. There
seems to be no hope for Improvement
in this respect, as the advent OF warm
err weather will doubtless curtail pro-
duction, while the shortage OF labor
is becoming more marked, and still!
more serious deficiency is expected
with additional drafts for military
service. AS far as the so-called war
Industries" are concerned this Will be
offset to some extent by further diver
sion of labor from non-essential pur-
suits. The latter has resulted In
material increase in the employment
of women. Taking the country as a
whole, mercantile business has been
quite good. In certain manufacturing
centers it has been surprisingly So
Jobbers, who have not yet received
their quotas for the coming fall be-
cause of deliveries belated to give
away to war orders, are eager to make
sure of getting what they will need
for next spring. Retailers OF ready
to-wear are just as anxious to be as
sured that their supplies for fall Will
reach them in time.
The latter are disturbed because OF
the official price-flxing OF certain sta
pie cottons at lower levels, which IS
to be followed by reduction In other
fabrics. This trend, in fact, is plainly
seen to be downward, and the ques-
ton is as to how soon it will be prac-
tically manifested in the prices OF
made-up garments, whether they De Oh
cotton, wool, or silk. The jobbers,
with a longer look ahead, are per-
turbed at the suggestions which have
come from Washington, intima 'ng
that purchases of garments, household
paraphernalia, and other articles
above certain prices are to be taxed.
This may have one, or both, or TWO Ell
fects. It may cause a great deal OF
buying in advance to avoid the pay
ment of the tax penalty, or it may re-
sult in a decided restriction of buy
ing. Manifestly, it is difficult to make
arrangements very far ahead, when
uncertainties of this kind are added
to those incident to the war condi-
tions. The prospects for the present
appear to be for piece-meal and eau
tious buying. 1t is an axiom that trans
portation facilities are limited by
those of the terminals whether they
be roads, railways, or waterways. A
striking and painful example of this
was given the country last winter
when fuelless days had to be ordered
to help clear the congestion around
this and other cities.

WOMEN FARMING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.

81
On the train from Edmonton to Win
nipeg the writer took a seat beside
soldier who had returned from the
front. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal
One coat sleeve was armless, and on
his left cheek he bore a scar that he
would carry to his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers In August.
1914, he fastened to the recruiting
office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with
it's crop ready for harvest full
equipment of farm implements, plenty
of horses, and wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and 10y
ally took hold of the question of pro-
duction, while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded, ana
again in 1915, and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness of the farm
paid off, a considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn't he a proud mani
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period Of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
of the Oak Lake district Manitoba,
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
blowing. seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cia}ly successful with stock, and have
splendid herd of shOrthorns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased a new
purebred stock bull for $500. Their
herd was last year increased by 70
calves.
Miss r. M. Hillman Of Keller. Sas-
katchewan, Is another successful
woman farmer. She has gone in ex-
tensively for grain growing, and farms
/ ,12O acres. She also owns some or
the finest Percheron horses in Sas-
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many
women who have had more or less sue.
cess, though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still DEM
onstrating, that a versatile woman
may be just as good and successful
farmer as her brother.
There are other women, too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-
sponsibilities Of running farm"
have been decided factors In making
the farm a success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm ac-
counts, reducing the grocer's bills by
their management of the poultry and
butter, taking care of the house, and,
very often, proving good advisers In
the economic management of the men
and general conduct Of the farm work.
