chance lies in detaching Russia from
the Allies. The scheme, of course, is
possible, but 'still very ineprobable.
Probably the real reason for the Ger-
man retirement was the fact that it
was becoming irapossible to keep their
men longer under the merciless havoc
wrought by the British guns. What
this was like is beyond even the com-
prehension of an outsider and utterly'
beyond description by those who have
witeissed it. When the British ad-
vanced it was found that the ground
behind the German first line had been
SO ploughed up with shell fire that
it was well nigh impassable. For days
at a time the British gun fire had
made it impossible for any man to
reach cr leave the trenches. The com-
munication trenches by which ammun-
ition, and food are brought up were
obliterated and prisoners taken said
that they had been cut off from food
or reinforcements of any kind for over
48 hours and frimdreds of German dead
covered the ground. Parties; of 40 and
more Oen:aims were taken prisoners
• by patrols of no more :than half a
dozen British. The nerve of the men
had gone, the strain had proved more
than any human could endure, and now
that the strength of the Allies has bee
come such that no matter where the
enemy enrench they will meet a like
fate, Von Hindenburg will have to
hurry if his Russian campaign is to
avail him any.
American ships are still imareted.
The authority to accomplish this, ask-
ed by President Wilson, was denied
him by a few obstructionists in the
dying hours of the life of Congress,
which automatically expired en Sat-
urday night, although an overwhelm-
ing majority of the Senate wire in
favor of passing the measure. Th only
way now open to the President is to
call an 'extra session by which the
needed authority can be grantee and it
is expected this is the course he svill
take. In the meantime a closure

obstruction tactics can not be made

end stock yards, the receipts of live
stock for the week ending March 3rd,
were 900 cattle, 100 sheep and lambs,
3000 hogs and 700 calves, while the
ofeerings on the inarket this morning
for sale amounted to 400 cattle, 50
sheep and lambs, 1700 hogs and 200
calves. A firm feeling prevailed in
the market for cattle, but there was
o important change in prices'. Good
o choice steers sold as high as $10.50
and $11. Fairly good stock sold at
$8.50 to $10 per cwt. At the latter
end of last week a sale of a pair of
fancy milch cows was made at $325,
but the market of late has been over-
stocked with the ordinary grades. Hog
prices scored an advance of 25 to 35c
per cwt., which was attributed prin-
cipally to the strength displayed in
the situation at other Canadian een-
tres at the latter end of last week.
An active trade was •done, with sales
of selected lots at $15.50 to $15.85,
and a few odd small lots selling as

drill in consequence of the buyers
seeking to pull down prices, and an
effort on the part of the drovers to
secure higher values. The buyers
won out in the end, but even af
prices had been cut the market eon,.
tinued slow. About the only grades
of cattle which met an active and
steady to stronger trade were canners
and best cows and bulls. The best
among the bulls sold from $10 to 10.25
with two or three extra fancy cattle
cashing in at $10,50 and one at $10.75.
There were also a few choice cows
which sold at $1.0.25.to $10.50, but the
general quotations for the pick ranged

ber at the latter price. Several

shipped by P. J. Henry, of Ridgetown
which averaged 1500 lbs., sold by
Dunn and Leveck, topped values at
$12 and another 12 steers from H,

Loads and part loads of choice butcher
Cattle sold from $10.25 to $10.50, and a
few a little more choice from $10.60 to
10.75. Good butcher cattle sold from
$9.75 to $10.10. The cattle most af
fected by this morning's cut in values
' were the -medium to common grade
- killers, but when the market closed
• all kinds of cattle were included among
!the left -overs, and, judging from the
signs apparent today, buyers are out
to take a little more off before the
week is over. Milkers and Springers
I held to steady values between $75 and
$110, but the demand this morning
was weak. Stockers and feeders also
, were a slow trade, the former selling
from $6.25 to $8.50, and a few for-
ward feeders from $9 to $10. Sheep
land lambs were steady, but quotations
for all kind of calves eased off a trifle.
Hogs, a light offering for a Tuesday,
sold at last week's prices of $15.15 fed

The 1917 Ford Touring Cdr 495
Give Your Wife One
Thousands ot wives and daughters run their own Ford ears.
They use them for shopping, calling, attending the theatre,
taking the children for a run in the countryesr to school.
The Ford is as easy to operate as a kitchen range, no know-
ledge of mechanical details being necessary. Inexpensive
to operate. A woman can call around town all afternoon,
or take a ea -mile spin in the country, at the minimum of
cost for gasoline, oil, wear on tires, etc.
,
You. couldn t give "her" a present she would appreciate
more than this beautiful, modern car, with its stream -line
effect, tapered hood and crown fenders.
