FIGHTING IN ,TIIE 'BALKAN'S.
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

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,

"The Kingdom of Canada."

important address he has deletered on

he suggests ae a statement of tbe obieot

control of Iter forces, both land and sea,
is admitted; and that, therefore, aban-
doning the title and appearance of a
colony he ought to aseume the status
of a nation, this Club lias for its obleot
the elevation of our country 10 the in-
ternational .rank to which her acknow-
ledged maturity most justly entitles her.
"Although persistent progress towards
Politioal emaneipation has been the most
interesting and important daaraoteristio
of Canadian history, yet there has never
(with one ephermal exemption) been anY
endea.vor to end the allegiance of Can-

affected by the attainment af the object
of this Club. King George -is now Xing of

• "When framing our federal oonstitution
in 1867, Sir John A,. Meedonald, observing
that the period of our colonial subordin-
ation was approaching its cloee, desired
•that our °facial title eb.oulet be the King-
dom of Canada.. This Club declares that
the fiftieth anniversary of -our natal -day
would be a fitting and appropriate year
in which to realize the wish of the great-
est of our depeeted Canadian statesmen."
Mr. Ewart, points out that those who
are working fer.a more centralized or-
-genization of the Empire hat -e no end of
erganizatione, including the Aceoss tbe
Seas Club, the Imperial Colonial Club, the
British Canadian Cleb, the Veited Empire
Clttb, the Ladies' Imperial Club, the Vic-

Imperial Mission, the Imperial Parlia-
mentary Association, the Itoyal Colonial
Destitute, and in Canada such organiza-
tions as the. Imperial Federation League,
the Daugbtere of the 'Empire, the Overeeas

the organization of Kingdom Clubs _with

definite purpose as outlined. -
Aftermath of War.
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. This practi.
