TWO AMERICAN AVIATORS • KILLED IN FRANCE. A despatch from Paris gays: Two American aviators have been killed near Nancy, according to a despatch received here from that city. The despatch gives no further details. The Matin says that the aeroplane con- taining the two Americans capsized while flying over Boudonville plateau, near Nancy. The observer fell out and the pilot, who came down with the machine, was crushed to death Under the engine. NO INDIWIUAD PAR CELS TO PR1S ONERS IN GERMANY Explanation of the New British Order Ras Been Received at Ottawa. A despatch from Ottawa says; An explanation of the new British order prohibiting the sending of parcels di- rect to individual prisoners -of -war in Germany has been received by the Government. The new plan has been formulated by the new Central Pris- oners -of -War Committee of the Br t ish Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in England, and the British. Government has ap- proved of it, to take effect December 1st, The Government here has cabled for further information as to the eft feet that this will have on shipments of Christmas parcels now being pre- pared in Canada. The object of the new plan is to eliminate the necessity of the British censorship by preventing the use of food parcels as a means of conveying information to the enemy, also to co, ordinate and control the supplies of food for the prisoners, The order will apply to all British prisoners, navel and military, except officers, parcels addressed to the latter being dealt with according to an existing system. Under the new plan supplies will be sent to every prisoner, but only through one central organization, the British Red Cross. The central com- mittee or an organization authorized by the central committee will examine and pack all parcels before sending them to the prisoners. While adequate supplies of food will be sent by au- thorized organizations out of their own stores to all prisoners, it will still be possible for persons to send parcels to individual prisoners through the authorized organizations. It is provided, however, that such parcels sent to an individual prisoner must not exceed 30 pounds grossper week, and must not contain bread, cake or tinned food, as such articles are difficult to censor without spoiling. This is an outline of the scheme, full particulars of which are being forwarded by mail, NO WINTER REST ON SOMME FRONT Allies' Offensive to Continue Whenever Weather at all Ehvorable, A despatch from London says: During the course of an interview with the Associated Press correspond- ent on Thursday, Major-General F. B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the War Office, was asked what he thought of Field Mar- shal von Hindenburg's statement that the Enteto allies could not break through the western front in thirty years. General Maurice replied: "Our recent offensive was not de- signed to break through. Its purpose was to relieve the pressure on Ver- dun and kill as many Germans as pos- sible. I will not undertake to say, whether it will take thirty years to get the Germans out of France, but the allied strength is constantly grow- ing and the German strength eon- stantly declining.. The effect of the allied offensive is accumulative. When the weather permits its resumption ° the results will be greater than ever. Torrential rains in the past week have prevented actions of any great consequence. "It is no doubt true that the Ger- mans in recent fights have been short of ammunition. During the Winter, with its short days, limiting the use of artillery, they will be able to re- plenish their stores but, despite the bad weather, we have no intention of letting up on them. Our offensive will continue throughout the Winter when conditions are at all favorable. "From documents recently found on prisoners there is no question but that there is a great deterioration in the enemy's morale and material, al- though they have been able to main- tain the number of their divisions. This has been accomplished by with- drawing regiments from old divisions to form new ones. You see, in de- fence warfare, eight or nine battalions can form an effective division, where- as eleven or twelve are required for offensive work. On the defensive a CANADIANS AT LOOS. Most of Them Have Moved From Somme, After Hard Weeks. A despatch from Ottawa says: Cable advices report that most of the Canadian troops have now been mov- ed off the Somme front, after several weeks of hard fighting, and have been given positions in the Loos sector, to the north. -.R. CIVILIAN VICTIMS • OP GERMAN. METHODS. A despatch from. London says: Premier Asquith, in a written reply to a question ,in. the.

SHIPBUILDING. A despatch from Ottawa says: Figures received by the Government illustrate the tremendous effort which Great Britain is making to maintain and increase her fleet of merchant ships. An official statement shows that at the close of last month there were under construction in British yards, 469 vessels of an aggregate tonnage of 1,789,054: c smaller number of battalions can hold. a great amount of line. This is pos- sible through the use of machine guns. whereas on the offensive the men must be individually armed with rifles, "I am confident the actual new or- ganizations of the Germans are not more than 10 divisions, Others were formed as indicated by withdrawing battalions from old divisions." NO "AS OO ERE" PEACE POSSIBLE. Loyd Rosebery Says Prussian Military Power Dust be Eliminated. A despatch from London says: "In some irresponsible quarters," said Lord Rosebery in a speech at Edin- burgh on Wednesday night, "I hear some babble of immediate peace." Lord Rosebery's reference was pre- sumably to rumors which were :cur- rent in London recently of a move- ment in favor of the consideration of proposals which, according toreports emanating from Germany, Chancel- lor von Bethmann-Holweg intended making public in the Reichstag. The German Chancellor's expected statement has been foreshadowed as an appeal to reason and humanity on the ground that prolongation of the war could not materially alter the military position and would only in- crease useless carnage. In England, according to the rumors to which Lord Rosebery referred, there was a tendency to look only at the present results and forget the primalreasons for which Great Brit- ain went to war, reasons which Lord, Grey emphasized in his recent speech to the foreign press. Lord Rosebery vehemently de- nounced "a sort of 'as you were' peace which would enable the Prussians to remain much as they are, ready and prepared with the experience they had gained and with resources not much impaired to begin again at the earliest opportunity their fiendish antagonism against civilians." Fighting for Freedom. RULES. OF WAR, Old Fighters Were Very Careful to Observe Them.. The father of the rules of civilized warfare, 'which. Germany has broken so ruthlessly, was Grotius, a native of Delft, who attempted to codify exist- ing customs during the Thirty Years' War. That was three hundred years ago, and his book soon became the basis of warfare, for when countries were fighting to extend their territory they were wise to recognize the advantages of propitiating their future subjects. So punctilious were the old fighters that during the wars which followed the Freneh Revolution those attacking the French actually paid hire for camping -grounds and for hospitals. Even more ludicrous was an incident which occurred during the fighting round Mainz in 1793. An Austrian regiment, anxious to cross the river, were held up by the ferryman because he demanded ready - money for the toll. Rather than dis- 4 obey the code by seizing the ferry for themselves, the Austrians calmly sur- rendered to' the advancing French. But France was fighting for her life, and disregarded the little niceties of the rules of warfare, and those of her enemies who still observed them faithfully were taken at a disadvant- age, so by degrees the elaborate pol- iteness disappeared. But the Prussians have always act- ed on the ideas set forth by Clause- witz after Waterloo, which may be summed up in two of his sentences: "The use of force in war is absolute," and "Every idea of philanthropy in war is a most pernicious error." A wife can overlook, her husband's shortcomings if they aren't in his pay envelope. ITALIANS RENEW OFFENSIVE TAKE 4,731 MEN IN ONE DAY Strong System of Defences Captured on the Height East of Gorizia. - A despatch from Rome says: The Italians resumed their march on Triests 'on Wednesday in two direc- tions, and the first day's operations netted 4,731 prisoners, six cannon, numerous machine guns and large quantities of other booty. Strong sys- tems of defences on the heights east of Gorizia and on the Carso east of Vallone were wrested from the en- emy and remain in Italian possession despite the most desperate counter- attacks. With the advent of clear weather Gen. Cadorne launched his infantry across the rain -soaked ter- rain against the Austrian lines, which were, penetrated at' several points "Is it really supposed," he asked, "that we have shed our dearest blood by hundreds of thousands, that we have been paying over 45,000,000 a day and shall continue to do so as long as it is necessary, in order to leave Prussia, the devilish power she has been in the past? "Why, 1 venture to say this (I can- not, of course, speak on behalf of the dominions)- If there was a Minis- ter (and thank God there is not) so cowardly, short-sighted and imbecile as to conclude a peace of that kind I am afraid our dominions and our Britons beyond the seas would say that a country, so governed, is not a country to adhere to, and we had better find some better statesmen of our own.' "Look at Sweden, Norway, Den- mark, Holland, Belgium, five small kingdoms,everyone of them outraged by the German power. We are fight- ing for them, for Norway, greatly outnumbered at this moment by the massacre of her merchant seamen on the high seas. We are fighting for I Sweden, who at any moment may find herself in the sante position. We are fighting for every neutral nation. We I are fighting for one that is not weak, the United States, for if we were van- quished, which Heaven forbid, the United States would be the next to suffer from the aggressive and un- scrupulous power of Prussia."

DRINK HOT WATER 21 SHIPS SUNK IN A FEW DAYS L D TOPIRATE'S 0 ACCORDING Gh Harvest of Three German Submarines in the English Channel - Valuable Cargoes Have Been Destroyed. , Be rlin Nov, 1. -The Overseas News Agency reports that three German submarines which recently returned to their home, ports sank within a few days . twenty-oue ships of a total of 28,500 tons, ini the 'English Channel. Among the vessels sunk were the French barque Condor, 760 tons; the French barque Cannebiberre,' 2,450 tons, loaded with .coloring wood; and the three -masted French .schooner St, Charles,521 toils with 400 tons . o , f fish. When food lies like lead in the stom- ach and you have that uncomfortable, distended feeling, it is because of in- sufficient blood supply to the stomach, combined with acid and food n f d fermenta- tion. In such cases try the Plan now followed in many hospitals, and advised by many eminent physicians of taking a teaspoonful of pure bisurated magnesia in half a glass of water, as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot wa- ter draws the blood to the stornaoh. and the bisurated magnesia, as any physician can tell you,instantly neutralizes the acid and. stops the food . fermentation.
