GRETTENBERGER Writer X A Proclamation To Our Patrons Present and Prospective. There is talk on every hand cf "advance in prices." This store will not take advantage of the present European war for an excuse to advance prices. As a mattor of fact there has been no advnnce in the price of merchan dise that would justify advancing prices. While there has been advance in prices on some certain commodities they are slight and hardly warrant an advance in retail price. Linens have advanced considerably, but fortunately we have a large stock on hand so prices will not be advanced during this season at least. There is an advance on imported art cottons but our purchases for fall were large so you will note little change in prices. Our stocks of staple and fancy merchandise are exceedingly large sufficient to carry us well through the season and the present regular price will not be advanced. There is little necessity for advance in American made goods and the present widespread talk of advance in prices to a very large extent is un warranted and unjustifiable. Every dollar's worth of merchandise this store owns will be sold with out any advance whatever. 3E5 Time Loans.

A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR The official information bureau made public a summary of the sltua tion in France. It says that live quiet days since the action on Sept. 1 have been occupied by the British with re fitting and the consolidation of units. The British army is now south of the Marne and in line with the French on the right and left. Sept. 6 found the German army at the gates of Paris but instead of in vesting the city, as had been expect ed, they passed to the north of the city, going east. This action puzzled the Paris newspapers, but its purpose will doubtless develop shortly. Tin; French government has been moved to Bordeaux, 360 miles southwest. The week saw the allies continue to fall back before tho German turn ing movement. The forts at La Fere and Laon and the city of Amiens were taken by the Germans. Aeroplanes continued to sail over Paris, dropping an occasional bomb, which did little damage. That the war will be a long one la indicated by the fact that Great Brit ain, France and Russia have signed an agreement not to make peace un less all are agreed. Russian troops have been landed in France and are still arriving. Where they have been landed and their sub sequent disposition has been kept secret. Troops are also on the way Irom Canada, Australia and New Zea land. A largo draft of- East Indian troops are also expected in France soon. In the near east the week was characterized by a decisive defeat and rout of the Austrian army by the Rus sians and the capture of the Strom,'- hold of Lemberg. At Lublin in Rus sian Poland 80.000 Austrlans who in vaded that country are surrounded and their surrender Is momentarily ex pected. The Austrians have lost in these operations about 150,000 men in killed, wounded and prisoners, besides about 300 cannon and great quanti ties of ammunition and supplies, The Japanese have completed the investment of Klauchau. A detachment of British from New Zealand took possession of the Ger man possessions in the Samoan and other Pacific islands. The Servians Iullicted further severe losses on the Austrian invading forces. Italy lias been quietly mobilizing her army und is believed to be about to cast her lot with England, France and Russia against Germany and Austria Hungary. An allied fleet which passed Anti vari toward the north lias begun a bombardment of the fortilications of Cattaro. Da'matla.
