Australia Clamps Down on Wool Trade Amid Record Value
Australia prepares for the world’s largest wool deal worth about £100,000,000. Delays were due to storage needs at major ports and the Central Wool Computer now coordinates large scale warehousing. Firms like Hy, Wills and Co and Dalgety Co expand wool warehouses at Albany and Fremantle to support shipment. The imperial government move aims to stabilize the industry with wide financial and commercial effects across the Commonwealth.

Fighting raged along the Aisne and forest of Villiers Cotterets with German progress to Ravine east of Layer-sine before a stubborn struggle established footing in Cocuvres and St Pierre Niglo. Front from Bouriaches to Belleau Wood saw American troops repulse a violent assault inflicting heavy losses. Paris reportedly cautious as German plans to seize Compiegne falter and retreat widens a French salient west of the Oise. Refugees reach Paris as precautionary defenses mount.
