It will be difficult to get goods later on in the season. Our oedetl' was placed last spring at lags spring's prices and are ulucli lower iu price than could be bought now. Prices are high enough now, but will be much higher and poorer quality of goods next year, so it's the part of wisdom to buy an Overcoat this year and save the advance you would have to pay next year. See our new "Trench Coat" and "The Admiral." These are bound to be very popular this seasou.

British Hold Positions Taken British Hold Taken Last Week. Three Big Smashes Have Been Made During the fast Fortnight, and the Getman Lome' Reach a Total of Over 40.000 M. a -Many Yrls- oners Were Also Taken. LONDON. Oct. 9. -The British official communication Issued late Saturday night announces that com- paartive quiet prevailed on the Ypres sector. Prisoners to the number of 4,446, among them 114 omcere, have been taken by the British. The com- occurred on the battle -front; ETSH mu ideation says: "No important Infantry fighting occurred on the battle -front to -day. Our troops have consolidated their positions. There to nothing to re- port from the remainder of the front. "The number of prisoners taken since yesterday morning amount to 4,446. including 114 omcers." The fruits of the latest victory have been held. No infantry coun- ter-attacks occurred during the night time, demonstrating the Ger- man exhaustion, due to our recep- tion of the enemy's eight counter at- tack . Ftve of these counter-attacks were made against a short front to the north of the Ypres-Menln road, being broken up by artillery. Three were delivered against our new positions near Reutel. Two of these were beaten back, but the third advanced in great strength late In the after- noon bending back our line slightly, necessitating, however, only a trifl- ing modification of the front, which has absolutely no bearing on the general tactical results achieved. Within a fortnight we have struck the enemy In Flanders three stagger - Ing blows in a very vital spot, heat him back reeling about three miles, mostly uphill. We have taken about 9,000 prison- ers and inflicted- casualties conserve- tively calculated at 40,000. A better appreciation of these vic- tories is possible If we can imagine what we should be thinking and say- ing if the eltuatlon were reversed and the enemy had succeeded to do- ing to us what we have done to him. A notable feature of the fighting was the won..ertul completeness of the arrangements for rapidly clear- ing the wounded. Despite the incle- ment weather, stretcher -bearing was practically finished early In the after- noon as far as the open field waa concerned. The enemy's losses throughout the whole fighting have been exceedingly heavy, being greatly increased by the unusual number of German troops on the battle -front at the opening of our attack. Our caaualtles have been light. In addition to the prisoners taken we also captured a few guns and much othor material. Here is a letter from a woman who had to work, but was too weak and suf- fered tow much to continue. How she regained health :- Frankfort, Ky. -" I suffered so much with female weakness that I eould not do my own work, had to hire it done. I heard so much about Lydia E. Pink - ham's Vegetable Compound that I tried it. I took three bottles and 1 found it to be all you claim. Now I feel as well as ever I did and am ably to do all my own work again. I recommend it to any woman suffering from female weakness. You may pub- lish my letter if you wish. "- M rs. J AM 6S CONLEY, M6 St Clair St. , Frank fort, Ky. No woman suffering from any form of female troubles should Tose hope until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg- etable Compound a fair trial.

There is no-a1- positif$n expressed, even to gnat • where the reprisals have been de nes rated in the past, while elsewl acs the decision is welcomed with se.- thusiasm. It 1s asserted that the Gove 'n • ment's decision does not indicate t sudden change in policy, the mat er having long been under conslde • tion, and that acquiescence to t •• popular demand is in no wise 1 1 piled. The apparent delay In adopt[. the policy of retaliation was due, tt Is said, to considerations of construel tion and the necessity of keeping the requirements of the army on the western front supplied. War planes of every type can now be produced by the Allies in tar greater numbers than by the enemy, and it is asserted that the Alltes are fully equipped to 'carry on:aggressive air warfare on a great scale. At a meeting here which received messages from various organizations and mayors throughout the country, a resolution was carried demanding one responsible head of the air ser - rice, adequate defence against raids and sufficient machines both at the [tont and for a great air offensive. Joynson Hicks prophesied machines with a speed of 250 Instead of as at present 150 miles per hour, would be able to ascend higher than twenty-two thousand feet, the pre- sent breathing limit, and out of range of the guns, using a special breathing apparatus, and also able to carry a considerable we'ght of bombs. He asked the following question, the accuracy of which can- not at the moment he confirmed: "Last week the London official cas- ualties were 52 killed and 257 in- jured. Do you know that the total casualties of the civilian population of Britain from air invasion to date are greater than the whole cuual- [lee of the civilian population of Belgium during the Invasion!" • The Times says: "Seven hundred and four aeroplanes and seaplanes were brought or drl.ven down on the P P n September.Thls ws r front in t is a higher total by nearly 300 than reached in preceding months, and compares with 467 In July, 713 in May and 717 to April. • The Allies, according to the claims of the Ger- man headquarters. font 242 ma- chines.
