Oct. 2. The first week of the nlliea' big offensivo on France and Flanders ended today with nearly n million men battling with undimin ished fury in the Artois and Cham pagne. Before another week ends, a (rami assault may bring more millions into the deadly fight from Alsaee to the sea. Losses cannot be estimated. The al lies declare thev have captured nearly ,111.01)0 and slain more than 150,000 Hermans. Berlin reported her forces had taken- more than 12,000 prisoners and characterized the allies losses as "enormous." Paris claimed 200 guns as booty. The net results for the week as glean ed lroiu the official srntements are First, the British gained on a five j mile front, completely occupying Loos :tnd important positions , near Lens.

In the past week more t'ann 7,000,000 shares have changed hands, meaning that brokers commissions amount aloue to more than l.'oO.OOO. Profits of outside traders and pro fessional speculators are impossible to estimate but they probably rival any thing the street knew in its palmiest davs. Talk of 2,000,000 share days is heard in the wake of the heavy trading. Houses which recently worried about making just their expenses are now rolling in wealth. The craze for the "war babies," "cats and dogs," standard issues, in fact everything and anything in tho way of a slock gamble is swamping the" brokers. People who never before saw a broker or his office are now regular visitors at the headquarters of the Wall street houses. , Evidences of the new ern of pros perity are seen in the return of the "harpies" old timers in the street, who, having suffered reverses, now live on the bounty of the street. itearau rauts and saloons in the financial dis trict are doing a land office business for where the brokers a few months since were contenting themselves with a sandwich and a glass of beer for lunch, they are now dining on pate d-foie-gras and champagne.

British counter attacks north of Loos iiave failed, the official statement today claimed. French attacks southwest of Angres, east of Souchez and north of Neu vi lie were repulsed. "In the Champngne," Baid the state ment, " the French attacked on a wide front east of Auberive. This failed except at one point where the enemy ' succeeded in penetrating our advanced positions.

Sharp and sudden strokes, whereby tho allies are steadily improving their positions in the Artois and Champagne, have temporarily re placed the battering tactics which marked the beginning of their giant of fensive along the western front. But another smash of terrific force will not be long postponed. Artillery battles are increasing in in tensity, giving indication that the al lies are ripping away obstructions in preparation for an infantry drive of the first magnitude. French losses are extremely light considering the nature of tho fighting, I am told that officers expected to lose one third of their men, but as a matter of fact, only 11 per cent has suffered. This comparatively small loss is due to the thorough artillery preparation which marked the days liefore the of fensive started, though in addition the new steel helmets have prevented the ordinary slight head wounds. A wounded corporal today told me that at many places, the French bom bardment leveled the (K-rmau trenches and buried their occupants.

The second week of the Anglo-French offensive in the west begins with both sides seeking a respite. The early intensity of tho al lies' efforts has died, and the Germans aro only feebly counter attacking. This quick exhaustion strikingly differenti ates this new struggle from the battle in Flanders a year ago. The trench warfare has improved, and bus become moiit elaborate since the Germans seized Ostcnd aud attempted to advance on Dunkirk aud Calais. Then the battles ruged backward and forward with continuous intensity. Posi tions wero won and lost repeatedly, and the stru'tulo was fought largely in the open.
