Every month in the list sold at the -full maximum price per mitted under wartime regulations and for a time ther seemed to be more buying order than could be promptly executed at this level of- prices. September, which became a spot month over th three-day adjourn ment, sold at l.lOo or 2 point net lower, but all later deliveries showed advances with De cember selling at 8.45c and July at 10.00c or 8 to 65 points net higher. Later, however, It seemed that buyers had been well sup plied and the market was offered quite sharply without finding takers, with the general list closing net I points lower to 17 point higher. July closed at l.lOo bid, a decline of 40 point from the high level of th morning.

Advance In th corn market began a soon a trading opened, but favorable war new and big receipt soon led to a setback. Bull ish sentiment however, which had been en dangered by the frost news, was later rein forced by reports that the present condition of the crop Indicated a yield of 259,000,000 bushels less than the government August re turns had Dolnted to. The fact that a mini mum price of 12.11 for wheat next year had been definitely settled was construed also a a bullish factor. In addition a decrease In the visible supply of corn was announced, and last price were near th ton point of th day. Provision were at a virtual standstill during a large part of the session. Finally, though, some call for riba developed and gave a little firmness to pork and lard.

' One of the interesting things on sale at the Czecho-Slovak bazaar in the Auditorium is the headdress of a Bohemian i peasant woman. This is more than 125 years old and a piece of needlework of great beauty. The linen shows little signs of age. This cap is the property of Rose Rositzky. There are beautiful lace caps, hand made aprons and embroidered dresses among the articles for sale which were all made by the Bohemian wom en of Omaha. HMelen Stenicka16 years old, and her sister, May, 11 year! old, made 200 doll hats which they were selling at t booth at the bazaar. Their mother, Mrs. Charles Stetiicka, keeps a millinery shop, and it was there that the sisters learned how to fashion the hats. At first the girls made the hats to earn money to buy Christmas gifts and during the holi days their mother gave them a corner of the window to make their dis play. The girls spent their spare moments for three weeks making the hats. Each one is made with great care. The designs were copied from papers and magazines and some were originated by the girls. The Rev. V. Cejnar has a priceless collection of Bohemian books on dis play. Among the most Interesting is a book of sermons published in 1586 by the Bohemian Brethren church. It was buried in the ground during the persecutions. Later, when it was dug up a portion of it was stolen. A number ot books are bound in silk and some of them have embroidered covers. Most of the illustrations are made from wood engravings. Thanks to Wilson.

WELlSn. . . ' s, Meteorologist ' ENEMY MAY BE DRIVEN BACK TO RHINE THIS YEAR Growing Disorganization in German Ranks Shown by Losses Sustained in Pre-, cipitate Withdrawal. . Washington, Sept. 3 Reports from the British front todav indicated to officers here that the German re tirement, heretofore conducted with I skill, was getting out of hand. Under the pressure of the British and French, all along the line from Ypres to Sois sons. the enemy is being forced to a more precipitate withdrawal, particu larly on the old Drocourt-Queant -front where Marshal Haig's .men hammered forward irresistibly again today. The official announcement from Londot that more than 10,000 pris oners have oetn taken in two days of , fighting on this front in itself indi cates, it is said, that there is growing disorganization in the German. ranks. It was evident, observers believe, the time is fast approaching when Gen eral Pershing's first field army, will participate in the battle, on the theory that General roch has been withhold ing this new and vigorous force for a decisive blow when the time was ripe. Cap Made in Old Line. -The British have broken a decided gap in the old German fortified line and the fad of Cainbrai. Douai, tit. Quentin, and several other rail and road centers upon which the Hinden burg line depended seems imminent If the enemy intended to fall . back upon this line when he was forced in to a general withdrawal i along his whole front from Rheims to Ypres, his chances are rapidly dwindling as , the British lines surge forward at the very center of the great battle front. - ',. Marshal Haig's forces are moving on Canibrai, the key to a large sec tion of the old line, and if that place is taken it appears the enemy will he forced to evacute the salient in which he is rapidly being pocketed by the French and American advance on the Oise-Ailctte lines in the south and the -British thrust eastward from Pcronue io the north. .' So evident is the growing disor ganization among the Germans, somo officers think it possible the enemy may be forced to a withdrawal to the Rhine this year.

The sensational breaking of the famous , Drocourt- yueant switch Hie after a series of important allied advance with great captures of men and material, has ' made an immense impression here. The expectation, is general that the enemy will make the most desperate efforts to recover the position; Vm-wr- the blow is regarded as one of the worst disasters inflicted upon the Germans during the whole war. The belief is general that the switch line is the main system of , German defense and that there ij nothing equally strong behind it. Con sequently its loss, if it becomes final, opens the widest possibilities. "Its loss 'would involve the evacu ation of the French coal field, perhaps even of the Flanders coast," says the , Mail, "and would imperil the Ger man hold on Douai, Valenciennes and Cambrai, which are essential to Hin- f denburg for maneuvering his armies. The switch line is thus the pivot of the whole German front and its -breach means that we 'have forced the enemy to .a struggle of matt against man, which he had used all of his ingenuity to avoid." , Allies 'Win Victory Aided by Russians ; Near Murman Coast London, Sept. 3.
