London Oct, 22. -General Haig's
troops delivered a heavy stroke on the
German lines in the direction of Le
Sars. in Picardy Saturday, advancing
on a three-mile front to a depth of !
from 300 to 500 yards, and capturing
the Regina and Stuff trenches. The
whole of the objective was gained, Sir
Douglas Haig reports, and 1,018 pris-
oners were taken. The British casual-
ties were slight.
Twice during Sunday -in the morn-
ing and in the afternoon -the Ger-
mans launched violent attacks against
the newly -won French positions in the
Chaulnes woods, south of the Somme -
River, in France, Both attacks were
reputed, the Germans suffering heavy
casualties, says Paris. Some of the at-
tackers in the morning offensive gain-
ed a foohhold in the French first line,
but were surrounded and the 150 sur-
vivors made prisoner.
The following joint despatch dated
Saturday evening has been received
from the British war correspondents'
headquarters in France:
"The past two days of blue skies
and hard cold winds has resulted in a
general drying of the ground in the
battle area, again permitting activity..'
The British troops have already taken
advantage of the improvement.
"Shortly after noon to -day, follow-
ing a hurried bombardment an attack
was delivered along a front of about
6,000 yards, extending from north of
Mouquet Farm in the direction of Le
Sars. Our infantry advanced in fine
{' style and the enemy, apparently sur-
prised, put up a comparatively small
show of resistance. A trench, which
the Germans had seemingly already
found untenable, was occupied and
various useful positions were secured,
Our casualties are said to have been
very light. -
"Schwaben redoubt has been the
scene of something pretty expensive
to the enemy. Yesterday morning the
Germans delivered a counter-attack
against this work, to which they ap-
pear to attach much importance. Our
men employed bombs and rifle gren-
ades so vigorously that the foe never
reached the parapet, but was beaten

A despatch from Halifax, N. Se
says --. rom the steamship that{
brought them safely through the war

about eight hundred of all ranks from'
the battle -fronts, from hospitals and
-discharging stations on the other side.
Aboat six hundred of them were

They left for their destinations in
two special trains in the afternoon,
"Canada will have to send more
men. and yet more men. The boys 9
over there are calling for them." Such
were the words of Captain II. Danser-
eau, a French-Canadian officer, who !
landed with other wounded comrades.;
Captain Danzereau, in the fighting at
Courcelette, was what he described as
"Lucky," for his only injury was a
severe shrapnel wound on the knee.

ROUNDING UP THE FEW GERMANS
LEFT IN EAST AFRICAN COLONY
Remnant That Escaped Capture Are Penned in Malarial Swamp
and Must Soon Surrender.
A. despatch from London says: In
a review of recent operations in Ger-
man East Africa the War Office an-
nounces that the Belgians operating
near Tabora, in the northern central
part of the colony, have inflicted a
further defeat on the Germans. In
the fighting from Sept. 18 to 22 the
surviving portion of the German
forces which had been defeated at Ta-
bora were routed.
Along the coast the British forces
under General Smuts are engaged in
clearing the country. A number of
small columns are carrying on this
work south-east of Dar -Es -Salaam
and north-west and west of Kilwa.
Gen. Smuts says his troops have been
attempting to drive into the Rufiji
valyley German posts established
north and south of that region.
The remnant of the force defeated
by the Belgians was driven eastward
and southward, the Germans making
an attempt to effect a junction with
the main German body concentrated
in the Rufiji valley.
The bulk of the remaining German
forces, says the announcement; are
now confined in a limited area in the
south-eastern portion of the colony, of
which all the ports on the coast and
the main lines of approach are held by
the Entente forces. The entire Rufiji
valley and the Delta are unhealthy
and malarial to the highest degree,
and are declared likely to become un-
tenable after the advent of the "less-
er rains" duringeOctober.
MOVEMENT STARTED IN ITALY
TO FORCE NATIONAL ECONOMY
Government Decree Extends to Lights in Streets, Stores, Hotels
and Cafes:
A despatch from Rome says: A.
Government decree issued on Friday
orders thatall street lights and :also
lights in stores, hotels: and cafes be
{ dimmed at 10.30 o'clock in the even-
ing. This is another • measure in the
continuation of the energetic move-
rnent to force national economy, the
first measure having been the raising.
of the price of sugar to 25c a pound
and also prohibiting its sale for the
manufacture, of ;candies or other
sweets.
The Government is alsomaking a
campaign against ~speculators in food-
stuffs and wearing apparel. A semi-
official warning has been published,
saying that peace is yet distant and
that any merchant .making a big pro-
fit from hip goods at the present mo-
ment is a traitor to his country.
Men's, women's; and children's
shoes are selling at from $6 to $9 per
pair, and woollen and other artieles
have doubled in price: Foods pro-
duced in Italy, of which the exporta-
tion is prohibited•, are in the hands of
speculators: Eggs have disappeared
from the markets. It is estimated
that millions of eggs are stored in
Rome. No eggs have been sold in the
city during the past week.

Chancellor McKenna Defends
High Rate of Interest on
New Treasury Bonds.
A despatch from London, says: -
Reginald McKenna, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, replying in the House of
Commons to criticisms of the high rate'
of interest payable on the new Trea-
sury bonds and the objection raised
that this would lead to their being
largely held abroad, said:
"That is the very thing we desire.
It must be rememllered that we had
to pay
a very considerable amount
Y by day in the United States. At
present we have to find $2,000,000 a
day for every working day. That
means a prodigious amount to find
every six days."
Mr. McKenna prefaced his state-
, regarding the large amounts!
being spent in America, by a defence
of his action in paying a high rate of
interest upon Treasury bonds.
"It is not possible," he said, "to ap-
ply pre-war standards and to say that
five per cent, is enough or that we
could get it mare cheaply, Very like-
ly ib could be done if we only wanted
a little or even the equivalent of
greatest suns ever raised before the
war- It should be remembered, how-
ever, we have to raise a maximum
sum about once a month, and it is only
possible to find out, by the daily ex-
amination of the results of borrowings.
and payments, whether we are suc-
cessful in meeting aur obligations. In
order to meet all expenses and to keep
our undertakings with our allies, I
have to make sure of getting money."
Mr. McKenna proceeded to explain
that unless Great Britain was able to
raise the needed money in the United
States she would have to go shore of 4
supplies from there, which were ab-"
salutely essential to the purposes of
the allies.
Defending the issue of the six per
cent. Lends, the Chancellor mentioned
the fact that within a fortnight these
treasury bonds had been sold to the
extent of 136,000,000. He added that
the present moment of competition•
for money was unfavorable to the
issue of a long -berm loan, but the
Government intended to resort to such
a loan when the Treasury considered
it advisable, and the Government
would not shrink from the fulfilment
of its prams: o in regard to the con-
version of previous loans.
The Chanedlor declared he did not
doubt the ability of the Empire to
bear the strain of the war. Its ex-
penditute aas not diminishing, he
stated, there being an advance under
the two heads of munitions and ad-
vance'3 to Great Britain's allies, but
in both of these directions he was con-
fidert the country would not grudge
the needful supplies.

THE PRINCIPAL LESSON
OF THE PRESENT WAR.
A despatch from Paris says: Asked
what was the principal lesson learned
in this war, General Marchand re-
plied: "Formerly an army which oc-
cupied the heights was supposed to.
have the advantage.'' We have learn-
ed from the experience of trench war
that the force down below has the
upper hand, since it can shell the en-
emy out of his trenches above, while
the opposing artillery can, with diffi-
culty, bombard trenches below it."

Forces.
London, Oct. 22. -The Serbian forces

HOW THE GERMANS ARE FED UP
WITH ZEPPELIN FABRICATIONS
" 400 Soldiers Killed in Grimsby. Barracks ; Regent. Street
Laid in Ruins,"
A despatch from Berlin says: Eye-
witnesses of the Zeppelin attack on
England on Sept, 23 report, according
to the Overseas News Agency, that
bombs hit the Grimsby barracks, kill-
ing more than 400 soldiers, and that
about 60 men were killed on board a
cruiser which was hit by a bomb. It
is said that Regent Street, London,
was for the most part laid in ruins.
A cablegram from London bearing
on the above says:
"The press bureau appends a note
to a wireless despatch from Berlin.
relative to the alleged `gigantic dam-
age' done in England by the Zeppelin
raids of Sept. 23 and Oct. 2, which
declares such statements to be 'ludi-
crous fiction,' and adds:
"'The Secretary to the Admiralty
states that there is not a word of
truth in the statement that a cruiser
or warships were damaged. No war-
ship or merchant ship, nor any man
belonging to the navy or mercantile
marine was touched by Zeppelin
bombs. The whole story is a fabrica-
tion"'
