AUGUST

t. .
U -Boat . Statistics For :Month
Shoe Lowest Average.
A despatch from London says: The
London Times naval ` correspondent,
commenting` on the week's losses from
submarines and mines, says the total
losses of all vessels including fishing
, g
vessels, for August, shows the low-
est average. He adds: "There is a
manifest decided hill in submarine ac-
tivity, due, it is hoped, to the increas-
ing effectiveness of the measures tak-
en to deal with the .U-boats. Whether
the submarine effectiveness has reach-
ed its maximum is an important point.
There is no evidence in these statistics
upon which a conclusion may be
based either way, The fluctuations of
the five weeks of August do not show
that there is a progressive diminution
in the number .of ,vessels sunk which
might give substantial/hope-that ;we
have seen the worst.
"There are still many signs that
-the nature and extent of the danger is
not fully realized. Its most acute
phase may not yet have been reached.
It is certain that the Germans exag-
gerate the number of ships they claim
to have sunt;:"
WESTERN
GRAIN
CROP HARVESTED(
A despztteh from Winnipeg says:—
A violent storm from the north, ac-
companied by heavy rain_ squalls, is
driving over Manitoba, but tempera-
tures remain higher. This is the first
real interruption to what has been the
most successful harvest and thrashing
season of ,-recent record. The entire
grain .cr6j of Manitoba is safe. This
includes fields of oats that farmers
even when they sowed them had no
expectation would turn out other than
green feed.
Quite as remarkable as the con
g. tinned fine' weather has-
,jbeen the ,sir_,
gular limn -amity from killing frosts-
or, indeed, from frosts of any kind.
In this district cucumber beds are still
untouched.
Slight frosts are recorded in Al-
berta, but the crop is long past the
danger point there. In fact, never
before -in the crop history of the Can-
adian prairie -,West has there been
such a minimum of frost damage. An-
other :favorable feature is the optim-
istic tone of thrashing reports.
ANOTHER LOAN IN NOVEMBER.
A despatch from Ottawa says: The
-fourth domestic•war loan will be float-
ed in November and will probably he
for $100,00.0,000, and at arate which
will net the- subscribers nearly six
per cent, although the definite arilount
and terms will not be known for some
weeks. Sir. Thomas White stated on
Thursday that between now and No-
vember a nation-wide organization
would be instituted to make the loan
a success.
RUMANIANS AGAIN REPULSE
ATTEMPTS TO PIERCE FRONT.
A despatch from London says: An
official Rumanian communication dat-
ed Sept. 4 reports an enemy attempt
to break through the 'Rumanian front
between Varnitza 'and' Monastirora,
which was repulsed after fierce fight-
ing,
ANOTHER AMERICAN

,—Loans of $100,000,000 each to Great
Britain and France were made by the
Government, bringing the total ad=

American'ports when#the war broke

Dutch ships of 300,00_0 tons, and
other Scandinavian vessels ,of one-
third that tonnage, have lain s in
American ports loaded with food-
stuffs ever since the Export Con-
trol Act was put into operation. Thus
far the owners of the cargoes have
refused to unload them, and the
American Government has; declined to
permit the vessels to sail.

ALLIES JOIN UP

A despatch from London ;says: -A

Anglo -Belgian column and a Belgian
column operating in German East
Africa, the two columns .getting in
touch 97 miles, southwest -of Kilossa,
says the official statement. The Bel

"We inflicted severe losses on the
