'EVOKES PROTEST-. FROM . SWEDEN.
Two Out Of Ten German 'Ore Steamers Alleged to
litave Been Sunk in Territorial Waters
A despatch front London says: Bri-
tish submarines in the Baltic thus far
have sunk ten German ote-carrying
steamers andhave completely para-
lyzed the ore trade between Sweclea
and Germany. This has caused some
dissatisfaction in Sweden,' and it7 is
charged that two steamers were sunk
:within Swedish territorial waters.
But the British assert that they have
been studiously observing interna-
tional laws and have been sinking
only German steamers.
The Swedish Government has in-
structed its Minister. at London to
protest against the violation of Swe-
dish neutrality by British submarines,
according to a Stockholm sleeleatele.to
Reuter's. ,
The Affonbladet Says that the Ger-
man steamer Germania --one of those
attacked -made straight for shore,
where she groUnded in 4 positina un-
doubtedly protected by the territorial
limit. Nevertheless, a British sub-
marine continued the pursuit. Men
from the submarine boarded the Ger-
mania and took away her papers.
This statement is based on the report
of the German captain of the vessel.
CANA 1ANS AMONG THE VICTIMS
OF THE LA3T ZEPPELIN RAID
Reported Military ' Casualties Probably All Occur-
red at Dominion Artillery Camp in Kent
A despatch from Ottawa says: The
Zeppelin raids. on England have now
come home to Canada. From the cas-
ualty lists received and from informa-
tion obtained from local militia
sources it would appear that eleven
Canadian artillerymen were among
those who lost their lives in the last
raid; that on the 13th. The total mili-
tary . casualties reported in the offi-
cial statement by the British authori-
ties were 14 killed and 13 wounded,
so that it would appear that it was
largely Canadians who suffered. Be-
side the 11 men. who lost their lives
•
three .are 'reported as missing and
three wounded. All these casualties
took place at Otterpool camp, Kent,
England.
The casualties took place among
the 5th brigade of the Canadian sec-
ond division artillery. As far as is
known, these are the first Canadians
to meet death as a result of a Zeppe-
lin raid. The casualties of this type
are all Western. men, except Sergt.

SUNK IN BALTIC
Two Destroyers Sent to the Bottom
of the Ocean by a British
Submarine.
A despatch from Copenhagen says:
Two German torpedo-boat destroyers
have been sunk in Baltic waters by a
British submarine, according to re-
-ports reaching Copenhagen. One of
the German -warships was torpedoed
at the southern entrance to The
Sound, a narrow strait between Den-
mark and Sweden which connects the
Baltic with the North Sea. A great
explosion followed the striking of the
torpedo, and the destroyer foundered
immediately.
A message from Falsterbo, Sweden,
which brought news of this ..ineident,
adds that other German destroyers
and a cruiser which were accompany-
ing the destroyer that was sunk
speeded -to the southward. The infor-
mation received here indicated that
all the members of ,the destroyer's
crew were lost.
Additional details were given in a
subsequent despatch. According to
this version, a German cruiser and
three destroyers were engaged with
the British submarine. The German
craft moved in circles to avoid the
attack of the submarine, which was
bombarded heavily. This continued
for some time until the submarine
lodged a torpedo on the destroyer,
which sank with a terrific explosion.
The other German warships are said
to have retreated. The submarine
rose to the surface and remained on
the scene some time before it disap-
peared. A sharp look -out from the
Danish coast is being kept, but no
survivors have been found.
Despatches to the evening news-
papers here say that a second Ger-
man torpedo boat was sunk by the
British submarine E-19 near Passe.
British submarines have now clear-
ed the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of
Bothnia entirely of German merchant

ships. Every German ship which
was southbound from Sweden when
the submarines started their cam-
paign has either been sunk or run
ashore. Of 50 German ore carriers,
37 are virtually interned in Swedish
ports.
SLOW PROGRESS
MADE IN SERBIA
Furious and Effective Resistance Put
Up Against Teutons in Their
Advance.
A despatch from London says:
Both the German. and Austrian War
Offices claim that progress was made
in Serbia,. but the facts as detailed in
the respective statements do not re-
veal a rapid advance. In fact, they
indicate just the opposite, a very slow
forward movement being made in the
face of furious and effective resistance
by the courageous Serbs.
From Berlin it is learned that
Pozarevac is practically enveloped.
This town is ten miles south of the
Austrian frontier, and is a little east
of the branch railway which runs
south from Semendria to Plana, 25
miles away, where it connects with
the main line of the Orient railway.
The Vienna statement says that
progress has been made south of Bel-
grade, and that on the lower Drina,
on the western side of Serbia, the
Serbians have been driven from some
.of their trenches.
The extent of the Bulgarian inva-
sion up to the present, according to
a despatch from Nish, consists of an
advance over the frontier at one point
of a mile. With this exception the
fighting line remains intact and the
railways have not yet been reached.
The Serbians have assumed the of-
fensives against the Bulgarians, and
have entered Bulgarian territory at
several points. An unofficial despatch
from Sofia contains this news. It
saYs that on October 12 the Serbians
crossed the frontier and attempted to
occupy the heights of Koritzka.

ENEMY U-BOATS LAYING MINES
IN PATHWAY OF PEACEFUL SHIPS
Submarine Piracy Having Proven a Failure
Tirpit'z Has Inaugurated, a Fresh Policy
A despatch from London says:
Archibald Hurd, writing in the Daily
Telegraph of the submarine blockade,
says: "Every one is by this ' time
aware that the submarine piracy,
though it has deprived us of many
merchant ships and cargoes, has been
a military failure.
"Now the Germans have inaugurat-
ed a fresh polic3r with a new type of
submarine. Ships of this class are
now busily engaged in trying to de-
stroy our own and neutral ships, for
there can be no discrhnination. The
von
new policy of mine laying in the path-
ways of peaceful ships is peculiarly
despicable. The mine -laying submar-
ine creeps along on, or under, the
water, as circumstances suggest. Her
progress, at night in particular, can-
not be easily detected. Before the
war opened, Simon Lake, an Ameri-
can builder of submarines, invented a
vessel of the under-evater type which
could lar these deadly explosive
agentse; The Gerznans have merely
proved that the method is practic-
able."

20 TRAINS OF SHELLS
IN A DAY FROM JAPAN
A despatch from New York says:
Cyrus Robinson, an English mining
engineer, who arrived here recently
from Petrograd, via Liverpool, on the
Anchor liner California, said that
Russia had, been receiving ammuni-
tion from Japan over the Trans-
Siberian Railway for three months as
fast as the loconaotives could haul it.
He said that as many as 20train-
loadshad reached Moscow, from
'Vladivoitoek' in 24 hours, which had
helped Russia to check the advance
of the German army.

ed were military casualties, accord-

text of the aunouncernent follows:
"The Press Bureau. of the War
Office announces that a fleet of hos-
tile airships visited Eastern Counties
and a portion 'of the London area
and dropped bombs,
"Anti-aircraft guns of the ',Royal
Field Artillery, attached to the cen-
tral force, were in action, and an air-
ship was seen to heel ovee on its
side and to drop to a lower altitude.
Five aeroplanes of the Royal Flying
Corps went up, but owing to atmos-
pheric conditions only one aeroplane
succeeded in locating an airship.
This aeroplane, however, was unable
to overhaul the airship before it was
lost in the fog.
"Some houses were damaged and
several fires were started, but no ser-
ious damage was caused to military
znaterial. All fires were soon got un-
der control by the fire brigade. The
military casualties were 14 killed and
13 wounded.

RUSSIANS GAN
REsl, VICTORY
Last • Austrian Defence Line Pie,.rced
at One of Its Strongest
Points.
A despatch from Petrograd says:
Another striking victory has been
won by the Russians on the southern
front in East Galicia. They have
pierced the last line of Austrian de-
fenees on the Stripa River, and
stormed one of the strongest points
on the Austro -German right flank.
The point where the Teutonic front
has been ruptured is about 80 miles
to the south-east of Lemberg, and
leaves that city in danger of recap-
ture by -the Russians from the rear.
The achievement of the Russians,
following their successes on the
Dvinsk front, represents a. continua-
tion of the recent strong offensive
movement north of the Roumanian
frontier. The position whichthey
stormed was on a hill to the east of
the village of Haivorenka, on the
right bank .of the Stripa, 13 miles
north of Buchach.
This fortification was constructed
scientifically, and was of great
strength. From this base the Aus-
trians had prepared to strike at the
Russian left flank extending toward
,Pinsk. The Russian successes around
Kolka and Chartoriesk, however, en-
abled them to obtain a footing on the
left bank of the Styr, which seriously
menaced their opponents.

How French' and Canadians Were
Asphyxia, te4:inle!he .Second
• . In the Methodist Recorder of Lon-
don, Rev. Owen, S. Watkins, an army
chaplain and neve:tee= of the 'Soudan e
cainpaign and, the South African war, 4
in which he was twice mentiopeel in
despatches, tells of the coming the
gas at St. Julien. He says; jr
Going into the open air for a- few
moments' relief from the stifling at-
mosphere of the Wards, our attention
was attracted by very heavy firing to
the north; where the line was held by
the French. Then We saw that which
alrnost caused our hearts to stop beat-
ing -figures running...wildly and in
confusion over the fields.
"The Feeach liave broken," we ex-
claimed. We 'hardly believed our
words: It seemed so impossible, so
inconceivable. Gun -limbers passed at
the gallop, fugitive Zouaves and Tula
cos clinging to them. In a few 1min-
utes the road in front of the asylum
was choked with fugitives -soldiers
and panic-stricken peasantry from the
farms and villages around, The story
they told we could not believe; we put
it down to thefr terror-stricken ima-
ginings-
A Greenish -Grey Cloud
had swept down upon them, turning
yellow as it travelled over the COUR.
try, blasting everything it touched,
shrivelling uptheevegetation. No hu-
man courage could face such a peril.
"We. can fight, but the geod*God
would not have us stay and be poison-
ed like rats in .a sewer."
Then there staggered into. Our
midst French soldiers, blinded, cough-
ing, chests heaving, faces an ugly,pur-
ple color -lips speechress with agony,
and behind them, in the gas -choked
trenches, we learned they had left
hundreds of dead and dying comrades.
The impossible was only too true.
The immediate result was a ,four -
mile breach in our line, and through
this gap the Germans were pouring
in their thousands. A wilder battle
has seldom been foughteand the prodi-
gies of valor displayed are almost
without parallel. Thestory of how
the Canadian division flung them-
selves into the gap ..has already been
told by abler pens than mine.
Days of Horror.
The chaplain describes the days that
followed as "monotonous in their hor-
ror." Then came Sunday, Ma Y 2,
when he was. brought for the first
time actually face to face its 'gas
warfare. As he says:
When the French were gassed We
had seen something of it, but only
the slighter cases had passed through
our hands; now we were to see it at",7
its worst. When I arrived at our ad-
vanced dressing -station I found it full
to overflowing -houses, barns, out-
houses, stables, and on the 'ground in
the yard and garden they lay to the
number of 300, faces purple, twisting,
and writhing in agony, dying by long,
drawn-out torture.-•
• It was the mostfiendyla wicked
thing I have ever seen; th'e,ghastliest
wounds were sweet and pleasant be-
side It. To add to the horror, we were
