Aug. 22.—The Times' attval expert discussing the sally of r.he German fleet in the North Clea on Saturday, says: '"The news that the German fleet ;las been able to put to sea after the severe damage suffered May 31 is no surprise. The war experience has proven that a ship can b., repaired very q,uickiy, provided she is not .it - ally injured, This is especially true when there are such resources avail- able as in British or German ship- yards. "The Germans do nothing without a purpose, and Saturday's naval movements had a political origin. To keep up the fable of the success of May 31, the German commander must show that his fi•::.:t is not con- fined to the Kiel canal. . . It may be assumed that every class of .ship was present in the German fleet Saturday. The advance was m'-tde more to the southward than in May. The retreat of the Germans after their abortive raid was a necessary part of their tactics of attrition, and justifiable in the circumstances." GENERAL SMUTS' DRIVE. Forces Cross Wami River and Ap- proach Kilossa. LONDON, Aug 22.—British forces in German East Africa have forced a passage of the Wami River and are • approaching the important Town of Kilossa, according to an official state- ment issued by the war office this evening.

Fight- ing continued till the night of the 17th, when the enemy retreated. The British occupied the crossings at ,dawn and are now constructing bridges. Meantime Lieut. -Colonel Vandeventer.inflicted severe losses tan the enemy near Kidete Station, Ion the Central Railway, and is aP 1 proaching Kilossa, "Further east British columns are moving on Dares -Salaam, supported• by naval operations on the coast."

FIGHTING IN BALKANS. Enemy Trying to Anticipate the Big Allied Advance. PARIS, Aug. 21. ---Reports receiv- ed here from Salonica show that the general engagement which began on Friday is continuing with intensity over an extended front, running from Flotilla, near Monastir, to theRiver Struma. This represents an irregu- lar line measuring upwards of 150 Hailes, Gen. Sa,rrail is directing the united operations of the Allies, with Gen. Cordonnier commanding the French troops. The operations have been long expected as a part of the co• ordinated offensive of the Allies on all fronts. Its opening follows the ar- rival of General Cordonnier after ex- tended conferences with officials here. The advices received in Paris indi- cate that the Germans and Bulgar- ians etre seeking to anticipate the movement by taking the offensive an the left, where the Serbians had moved up to within 25 ratite of ;*:ion astir, holding Florina as an observa- tion post, Their orders were not to attempt to retain Florina if their were attacked, The Serbian. War Once says the Bulgarians were re- pulsed and thrown back on their old positions, but that later the Serbians, following their instructions, evacuat- ed Florina, Thereupon the town and the station of Fiorina were occupied by the Bulgarians. The Serbians retired slowly, and later delivered a heavy counter- attack against a large Bulgarian force which was debouching Pram Florina toward Baniea. Fighting continues in this reglert. In the centre It`rencle and British forces near Lake Doiren followed an intense bombardment with infantry atta^ks, in which the British contin- gent oeeupied the strategic point of Doldzeli. Further east the French right rushed a series of small villages in much the same Iuanner as the French right carried the villages ,m. the Somme front. Reports in geueral show a condi- on of affairs along the whole lice wliieh is regarded here as satisfae- tory for the Allies. There is every indication that the preliminary oper- ations are extending rapidly. LIGHT CRUISERS SUNK. Nottingham and Falmouth Come to Grief on Scouting Expedition. LONDON, Aug, 21.0 --.Two Brttieh light cruisers, the Nottingham and Falmouth, were sunk on Saturday in the North Sea by German submarines while the vessels were searching for the German high seas fleet; said to comprise fifteen warships, including large cruisers. One German subma- rine was destroyed by the British, while another was rammed and pos- sibly sunk, according to the Admiral- ty statement, whieh follows: "Reports from our lookout squad- rons and other units showedthat there was considerable activity on the part of the enemy in the North Sea Saturday, the 19th, "The German high seas fleet came out, but Iearning from their scouts that the British forces were in con- siderable strength, the enemy avoid- ed an engagement and returned to port, "In searching for the enemy we lost two cruisers by submarine at- tacks — H.M.S. Nottingham, Captain C. B. Miller, and H.M.S. Falmouth, Captain John Edwards. "All the officers of the former were saved, but 33 of the crew are miss- ing. All the officers and men, of the i•'a1;aouth were saved, but one lead- ing stoker, Norman Fry, died of in- juries. "An enemy submarine was de- stroyed and another was rammed and possibly sunk. "There is no truth in the German statement that a British destroyer was sunk and a British battleship damaged." ALBANIA Ili REVOLT. `:earst and Fyne Recti a Falmouth.

ROME, Aug. 21.—Informatidii • from Albania is to the effect that the whole country is in a state of revolt.' Taking advantage of the weakness of the Austrian garrisons the Alban- ians have formed numerous bands, which overrun the country, robbing and killing and laying waste. The Austrian garrisons are in a critical condition, all communication being broken, and help by sea being difficult on account of the watch keot by the allied fleets in the Adriatic. Sanguinary fighting is continually taking place between Austrians and Albanians. The Austrian commander in Albania has asked for reinforce- ments. The situation is equally grave in Montenegro. Rowboat tlpset by Steamer. SARNIA, Aug. 20. — Rowing across the lower end of Lake Huron just above the mouth of the river here early Sunday' morning, three Detroit young men named Albert Falkner,James Shankland, and John Wilson, had a narrow escape from death when their boat was run down by an up -bound steamer. The men had just rowed out of the path of a' boat coming into 'the river and did not notice the other boat until it was too late to get out of the way. The steamer stopped as soon as possible and put out a lifeboat, which picked up Wilson and Falkner, who were swimming feebly. Shouts from shore- ward drew their attention, and there they found Shankland, who was a good swimmer. Wilsons' home is in Strathroy, but he is working in De- troit. The boat was totally de- stroyed. t.. , Will Withdraw Troops from Mexico, WASHINGTON, Aug. esi- dent Wilson has taken, the firsts'eps towards withdrawing General Pe:, sh- ing's . expeditionary force from Mr'ti- co. - High entry 00318.14 '-,predio.- d Saturday that all American traiotts would be out of •Me.rico byiSepterioet 15th. f' WHY WOMEN CANNOT SLEEP."
