GAIAT BIIITAII IIIIIIS ALI AIISTHAIIA Wlllll WASHINGTON, Nov. 1`i.-Ainbass- ador Page has reported from London that Great Britain, for thc present, is unwilling to modify the embargo on the exportation of wool from Australia. Wool dealers, however, are hoping, through the State Department, to con- tinue negotiations so as to enable them to participate in the auction sales soon to be held in Australia. The British Government is niider- stood to have replied to Ambassador Page that for the present the Mother Country would use all the wool raised in Australia, though when it became apparent that there would be a sur- plus. some arrangement might be made whereby American firms coukl obtain part of the product. The only condition under which they could get any wool. however, would be with guarantees that the product be used only in manufacturing goods contracted for by Great Britain.

The enemy made an effort to break the line, which they hoped already had been weakened by attacks of the infantry of the line. The fact are briefly as follows:-- Our troops were subjected to the heaviest bombardment which we have as yet experienced. froui dawn for three hours. This was at once f`ol- lowed by an assault in force, carried out by the first and fourth lirigadcs of the Prussian Guard corps. lt is understood that these 'picked troops have been brought up specially to act against as iii order to force 11 way through at points whore previous efforts made by their ini'antry ot' the line failed. The attack was pivuisod with the greatest bravery and deteriniiiation. Owing to the gallantry of our troops and their splendid rt-sistaiico against great odds the nltunlpt to poiietrnte Yprcs was repulsed, but the weight oi' the eneiuy‘s advance ciialilecl them to break through our lilies at three points. They were, however, hurled back and prevented from gaining further ground. lnmiense loss was inflicted on the Geimans, seven hundred dead having been fountl on ground behind the front trenches alone. The casualties suf- fered in advancing to our line under direct cnflladcd fire must have been enormous. Our casualties were also heavy. The action of our troops on this. as well as on previous occasions. cannot be praised too highly. iu|v|iiTlull;'”i 1 STIIMANS AT Kill (Special to the Guardian.)
