There has not been a let up of an hour on the western front now In weolts, the allies here reallzln.^ that they must keep t!ie Germans busily engaged to prevent the withdrawal of men to otlier fronts where tho offensives of the other En- tente powers are sweeping back the Germans and Austrians. As on other days this week, the Bri- tish and French concerned themselves principally with attacks beyond Poz- ieres and In the district of Hem wood. Some particularly brilliant actions oc- curred on the French front, resulting according to the ofidclal report of the French War Office on Friday, in the further advance of the French l>e- tween the Somme and Maurepas. The ridge for which Gen. Foch's troops have been fighting for more than a week is now completely in their hands, the summit having been reach- ed In a dashing charge this afternoon. The French now straddle the Manre- paa-Hem highroad and hold the most dominant position In this sector. Night fighting enabled the British to gain some additional ground north of Bazentin le Petit and north-west of Pozieres, where the apex of the British wedge is now approaching the Martinpufch ridge. Hnlg's report on Friday night deals principally with aerial adventures. In which 68 British machines carried out extensive bomb- ing opr^rations against the German concentrations at Brussels, Namur, Mods, Busslgny and Courtral, all points far behind the Kaiser's front On the Verdun front the respite continued for another day, broken only by small raiding actions, in which the French gained minor successes on both banks of the Meuse. The artil- lery combat continues with violence, and another German aeroplane has been shot down by a member of the Franco-American Flying Corps. Two more British aeroplanes also have been lost as a result of their dar- ing exploits behind the German lines. Dressed poultry â€" Chickens, 26 to 27c i fowl. 23 to 25c.

The negotiations thus far have not been in the form of general terms, but simply as feelers as to how a loan of this sort would be taken in the near future. The credit, it was learned, probably will take a similar form to the French loan recently floatetT by the same institution. Noth- ing definite could be learned regard- ing the terms. Wall Street does not look for an announcement for at least another month. It is generally expected that the new loan will be secured by Ameri- can stocks and bonds which the Brit- ish Government have been mobilizing through the borrowing process. According to information available at present, an American corporation owned American securities.

The com- manders of the airships seemed in I doubt as to their whereabouts, as they fretiuently shut off the engines ; and hovered in the air for minutes at a time. The raider which visited Scotland flew over a sparsely populated dis- trist and Its bombs were dropped in fields and on hillsides. Another raid- er dropped twenty-six bombs in the open ground between two villages. ' One man, two women and three chil- dren were killed in a north-eastern i town. Five men, six women and six boys were injured. i Correspondents in the districts visiteil by th» Zeppelins telegraph that the airships flew at a great height. They were subjected to a very heavy fire from anti-aircraft guns, which compelled them to make I a hasty retreat. One airship dropped twenty and another incendiary bombs, [ some of which fell into the sea. As on all recent raids, .aany of the bombs fell on open ground or into the water as the airships were making off. to show how unprepared the Austri- ans were for an attack upon thorn.
