Sir Ian Hamilton reports that in the northern section of operations a raiding party rushed a trench on the front of our line. All the enemy fled except one, who was killed. "An anti-aircraft gun was located and bit with the second round from one of our guns. The fifth round blew it into the air. "In the southern area the Turks made an attack on some newly cap- tured trenches in the French section, but were repulsed with ease. "In the British section there has been steady progress daily, consoli- dating and in some cases extending the trenches won. "A small redoubt was captured with insignificant loss, and a successful attack was made on part of a com- munication trench held by the enemy. A Turkish machine gun opposite our left was knocked out by the French artillery. "In both sections the enemy's ar- tillery has been active." Country Produce.

A despatch from Paris says: Joseph Caillaux, former Premier, who has been the target of several attacks since the beginning of the war, has made a statement in his own defence. He declared untrue newspaper articles attributing to him the assertion that France should have made peace with Germany after the Battle of Charleroi. "I am as much of a patriot as any citizen of France," M. Caillaux de- clared, "and nothing could be more fantastic than the declaration printed as coming from me. I declare cate- gorically that every- article reprifsent- ing me in the role of negotiator of peace between Germany and France is groundless." 843,000 Benedicts in Army. A despatch from London says: Speaking for the Government in the House of Lords, Lord Newton said that the number of married men at present in the British army was ap- proximately 843,000. The aggregate cost of separation allowances paid to wives and children of these men has been x25,000,000. ,I• Semi -finished Steel. A despatch from . Pittsburg, Pa., says: For the first time in two years manufacturers report a scarcity of semi -finished steel. Pittsburg pro- ducers of open-hearth steel billets and sheet bars have been out of the market, so far as new business is con- cerned, for some time, but the pres- sure for delivery on orders booked has been so great that shipments are be- hind. Youngstown steel makers have advanced the price of sheet bars to $23.50, Pittsburg, the highest point in more than two years. A month ago sheet bars were available at $20.50, Pittsburg. To Exchange Wounded. A despatch from Berlin says: The Overseas News Agency gave out the following: "Negotiations between Germany and Russia for the exchange of in- capacitated prisoners of war have finally been successful after many fruitless efforts." FRENCH CONQUERED MORE FECHT PEAKS Germans in the Vosges. Gradually Be- ing Driven Back Towards Muen- ster and the Rhine Valley. A despatch from London says: -The French forces have inade further pro- gress on the heights dominating the valley of the Feche, in Alsace. The of Linge Peak, which lies near the northern branch of the river, and to the north of Muenster, was occupied after an obstinate struggle. South of the summit a foothold was secured in some quarters, which are named in the official report as Sch- ratzmannele, and in the wood of Bar- renkopf. Nine German counter-attacks were delivered in one day against the posi- tions seized by the French in the re- gion of the Little Reichackerkopf, but all failed, according to the Paris re- port, and the• French troops were able slightly to extend the conquered ground. The Berlin version is to the effect that six French attacks were successfully repulsed by Bavarian troops. Aerial engagements, such as have characterized the operations on the western battle front daily, but appar- ently without important results for either side. Ovation for Botha in Capital Union. A despatch from Cape Town says: -Premier Botha arrived from the campaign which ended on July 9th with the surrender of German South- west Africa. The Premier received an ovation wherever he appeared. Business was suspended. The city was decorated and the people throng- ed the streets. On the arrival of Premier Botha at the Government House 10,000 school children sang the national anthem. AWES ARE FORCING THE DARDANELLES Turks Purposely Wasting Ammunition to End Resistance Which They Regard as Hopeless. A despatch from Rome says: -In- formation has been received from dip- lomatic sources that the Turks as well as the allied forces on the Galli- poli Peninsula expects that the Dar- danelles will be forced within a fort- night. Because of this expectation, accord- ing to the information, the Turks are purposely wasting their ammunition in order to exhaust the supply rapidly, their object being to compel the Ger- mans to permit the discontinuance of a resistance which the Turks regard as hopeless. ICH CREAM (IT'S A . FOOD) The consumption of Cit y Dairy Ice Cream is in- creasing every season. The local dealer has not the facilities, besides he makes so little that he cannot turn out a uniform Ice Cream. Discriminating shop keepers everywhere are selling City Dairy Ice Cream instead of their own make, and their patron- age is increasing because City Dairy Ice Cream is better and the quality is uniform.

It has been decided to abandon the Kelso games this year owing to the war. A work part ylias been formed by a number of women in Walkerburn for mending soldiers' clothing.- Inverness Trades Council has gong on record as being strongly opposed to compulsory military service. Falkirk foundries have received large Government contracts ,l,for stoves and ranges for the army. Dunbar Town Council is to borrow $9,000 to meet the cost of the ne'i wall along the south of the Castle Park. The Glasgow Town Council agreed to allow soldiers and sailors in uni. form to travel on the tram cars at half price. Archibald Thomson, Clydebank, R.N.R., has been. recommended for the D.C.M, for conspicuous bravery at the Dardanelles. Inverness School Board have re- quisitioned for $48,500 to meet thein: deficiency, being exactly the same amount as last year. Private P. Tolland, First Battalion, Black Watch, who won the D.C.M. for conspicuous bravery, has been killed by falling from a railway train. By a disastrous fire that broke out at Carson Sawmills, Aberlour, nearly 6,000 feet of wood, the pro- perty of Frank Syms, of Beauly, was totally destroyed. A committee of Kidkintilloch Town Council by running a picture show at the Town Hall, has been enabled to hand over a sum of $550 to the Common Good Fund. The death of Mr. A. Bryson, of Glasgow, at the age of 76, is report- ed. He was known all over the world as the editor and publisher of the "Draughts World." Mr. William Jackson, an engineer and inventor, who died in Aberdeen .recently, has left the residue of his estate to found a chair of engineer- ing in Aberdeen University. The scarcity of shop assistants due to enlistments has given impetus to a movement in Selkork towards the closing of the shops between the hours of one and two o'clock. $150,000 damage was done by a serious fire that completely gutted the furniture warehouse of Messrs. Paterson -Smith in Edinburgh. Two firemen were seriously injured. The magnificent sum of $15,000 has been contributed to the various war relief funds by the workmen em- ployed by Scott's Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Greenock. A bronze tablet has been unveiled in Troquet parish church to the rain- ory of Pte. J. Mackenzie, Max' ell - town, of the Scots Guards, who was awarded the V.C. for saving the lives of comrades. The Committee on War Organiza- tion in the distributing trades in Scotland has issued an appeal to shoppers to shop early and make al- lowances for the reduction of staff due to enlistments. *14 LONGING FOR PEACE GROWING IN GERMANY, War Weariness Strongly Evident in Wide Circle of Population. A despatch from Stockholm says: A private message to the Stockholm Tidnijen from Berlin, which curiously enough passed the censor, states that war weariness in Germany is become ing strongly evident in wide circles of population and especially among the poorer classes. Great excitement pre- vails, and a proclamation of a state of siege is expected. The Dagens Nyheiter comments on this by saying that even if it is exaggerated one thing is certain, that among the whole German population longing for peace is strongly felt. • Informed the Kaiser Food Was Uneatable. A despatch from Paris says: -Al- bert Avelline, a member of the Paris Opera Company, has returned from Germany, having been taken prisoner while acting as a stretcher-bearer. He tells of a colloquy which he says oc- . curred between Emperor William and a captured French sergeant. Preceiv- ing the number of the sergeant's regi- ment on his collar, the Emperor prais- ed the regiment, saying: "I know it very well, and I think most highly of it." "Not more than I do," replied the sergeant. The Emperor then asked what the sergeant thought of the food supplied to the prisoners. "We are given ab- solutely uneatable stuff at present," Avelline says the sergeant responded: "Later on I suppose William II. will give us nothing but bricks." The Emperor's suite, M. Avelle says, was horrified at the remark, but the Emperor, unperturbed, passed on. Tripoli Invaded by Turkish Troops. A despatch from' Rome says: -The Italian newspapers . .report front Cairo that a Turkish -German expedi- tion has landed in Tripoli with its ob- jective Cyrenacia. The newspapers declare that Turkey thus has 'openly joined the war against Italy, axid that it is now Italy's business to put cart end to "the gang of criminals who aro administering Turkey." c
