Eaortuous Loss of Life is Reported in Despatehes From the Front. A despatch front Belgrade saysti Army heedquarters eeport that the Servians, after. eapturing Istip, pursued the enemy, capturing ever 100 officers and 1,000 men. Press • despatches report east sanguinary • fighting has occurred at Ovtche- polye, where the Bulgaaian losses were enormous and 4,000 tragar- ian.s surrendered. In -this engage- ment 2,000 Servians were killed and wound.ed. According to the best information to be obtained at the Servian capital the battle line ex- tended from Kotchana, Istip and Strumitza towards Guevgheli, and thence onwards to the Gulf of Or- fani. . The Bulgarians delivered their heaviest blows at Guevgheli, where they severed the Greco- Servian line, and at Istip. They still hold Guevgheli, but were driven from Islip evelitualli with heavy losses towards Ovbehepc)yle, where the Servian army was massed. The Servian Supporting forces, coming up in time, met the Bulgarians at Dermal and Petrishino, behind Kotchana,, where a fierce fight en- sued. The Bulgarians suffered heavily, the Servians capturing an important height near Osigovtt, called. Retkibukwe. • On the other side of Guevgheli the Greek armies are concentrated, and the Bulgar- ians risk getting caught between 'two fires. . Unconfirmed despatches on Wed- nesday night report fuetb.er heavy fighting in the Istip district,. in which the Servians were compelled to abandon their fortified positions. at the town of Istip and leave be- hind their wounded. Fifty -1411r officers, including four colonels, were among the killed, 'while the losses on both sides numbered sev- eral thousand, According to the -latest advices from the front the Bulgarians have been entirely driven 'off the terri- tory which they occupied when they took the Servians 'unawares, The Bulgarian right wing has been com- pletely routed. . It is asserted that the fighting was the bloodiest in the Iiiitory- of Balkan wars, Frightful Losses. A despatch from London says: The. Bulgarians and Servians ere still inflicting smashing defeats on each other identical times arid places. The victory always rests with the army from whose capital the' news comes, The fighting ap- parently continues on a big scale on the frontier and Maw side of it, 'but no independent reports are availeble and the others aro utter- ly contradictory. A Servian state - meet puts the Bulgarian casualties lash week. at from 20,000 to 25,000 and the Servian lessee at 15,000, while another despatch says, the Serbs have lost more men than in the war with Turkey, With eault metering distributi honors there la OW) OpftulatioU AO to 'OW kniallthood le not conferred on 'gr.

That there should be any connection be.. tweet' the slaughter in the Balkans in the year 1912 aud the coraforte of life in the Provfnee of Ontario in the year 1913, may be diflicult to understand. A is nevertheless a faot. All wars leave a per- iod. of almost world-wide business de- pression in their wake. Sometimes these periods are of short duration, or from special cirounistances they mai be of con- siderable length. The fittest previous ex- ample -was the South, A.friean war, sue. oeeding which, for a pear or two, there was somewhat aeute comraercial and fin- ancial etagnation. The reason for this phenomenon is that war not only makes capital timid, but destroys a large slice of it. An example • of timidity wae seen during the recent Balkan eruption, when the peasants of France and Germany, fearful of 0. eon- ilageation which would embroil all Eur- opd, are credited with having witladravvn ,from the banks all their ready raoney. Their purpose wae/to be in a position to caehe it in own eye trouble, so that after the clouds relied by they cauld bob up serenely with their nest epee This pro - teas of withdrawals is what is known as "hoarding gold" and is said to have reached extensive proportions and tem- porarily decreased the world's supply of liquid capital. But a permanent loss was sustained bi the aetual destraetimi- in the war. A varst amount 'of property and wealth was lit- erally wiped oft the face of the earth. When railways, bridges, public roads, Public buildings, telephones, telegraphe and works of all ,descriptions, to say noth- ing of private property, are destroyed in habitable country, they have to be re. placed. Tkey can only be replaced by drawing upon public credit and securing through it cash from the teoney lending centres of the world -London, Paris, Ber- lin and perhaps IsTeW York. Many of these works aro absolutely iraperative. Thus the caeh for them has to be secured regardless of what it wets. It's for this reason that succeeding a war of any pro. portions there is always a severe money tightness even inore acute than during the time ot the war itself, The-prottess of rehabilitation is even more expensive than the actual cost of oarrying on the military operations themselves. Theta peeled of tight mon,ey has tr. rived is now generally recognized. It Is said that the underwriters of tee have. declined to take any further b .141 issues until Ootober.

Making New Canadians. • The relations of what may be described as accliraatized Canadians to our new citizens are causing considerable discus - ion. It ie not merely the case of for- eigners, but the attitude which Canadians bear towards Old Country immigrants and which those immigrarts bear towards Canadians that is causing comment. It is perhaps overlooked by roany peo- ple that an entirely nnpreqedented situa- tion is tieveloping in this country. Not einee the first half of the 19111 century has them been any immigration iu tune to Canada until the last ten years. It is doubtful if there ever has been Eng lish immigration. in any such comparative etiantities as is coming in now. The ar- rivals of the Wes and 40's were 'largely Scotch and Irish. Scotch and Trish are corabag now, the English are now arriv- ing also in a way that will have the effect of balancing up the composite, na- tionality -which one day is to be Can- adian. Tr; Toronto there are Whole streets and it some sections whole blocks composel entirely of Englishmen or Scotchmen. They are hard workers as a rule and most of them are making good. And the next, generation will be pure Canadian as are Atte present, children and grandchildren of former arrivele.
