A despatch from I3erlin says: The Vossisehe Zeitung prints the follow- ing despatch from its correspondent,. Max Osborne, from Cambrai, France: "The fearful battle which has now raged three weeks signifies more than, the fact that it is the greatest at- tempt yet undertaken by the western enemies,with unprecedented force, to push back the German army •from the occupied provinces of Northern France. "In a historical sense it embodies the measuring by the army leaders of the countries of all their forces in a decisive land battle. "For the first time at the end of two years of the war appears the real significance of the great world strug- gle -namely, England and Germany engaged in a tremendous duel. Every- thing that has taken plaee hitherto between the two peoples appear now a niers prologue. The duel has begun, and day by day it swallows the lives of tens of thousands. "I saw here a number of English prisoners, and these men understand what it means for our regiments to hold out against a storm of attacks by such. They are strong, tough, wildly courageous, and stern .fellows, certainly able to stand up to their op- ponents," WILL BE NO REST FOR THE ��pE RANS .,. ita� URMANS KING PLANS VISIT TO CANADA. Expects to Make Trip With Queen as Soon as War Permits. The appointment of the Duke of De- vonshire as Governor-General of Can - Spirit of Men at Front is Per- fect, Says Under-Secretary of War. A despatch from London says: Lord Derby, Under-Secretary of War, who recently visited the British front, on Wednesday gave the International News Service his impression of the work being done there by the British army: "I never saw such absolute confi- dence, not only among the officers, but all the grades from the generals down. The spirit is absolutely mag- nificent. Men who, fifteen months ago, were in counting houses, are to- day the finest soldiers imaginable. "After all, you cannot beat a volun- teer army, where such spirit and con- fidence exists, for remember, I should say at least 93 per cent. of the army are volunteers, while the remainder really only wanted their minds made up for them." Lord Derby was asked whether the ground gained in the recent British advance was worth the losses of mer_. Lord Derby said: "There is no question about it." He paid tribute to the Prussians, who, he said, were fighting like "tigers," but their confident spirit was incomparable with the British. Regarding the length of the war, Lord Derby said that any one who named a. specific time could only be described as a fool, but that the next two weeks ought to see great things achieved. "What will you do with the Kaiser if you get him?" Lord Derby was asked. "I cannot say, but " I promise he won't be able to do any more harm," replied the Under-Secretary, adding: "But we've got to get him first." "When you get to Bapaume will you rest there before beginning a new offensive?" he was asked. "We won't rest until we get to Ber- lin," came the reply. Lord Derby made an earnest plea for America's help in ending what he termed "German kultur." "We want America in with us," he added. "Not necessarily in the war itself, but after it is over to help to put an end to this thing called Ger- man kultur. I realize, and always have done so, that the United States is overwhelmingly pro -ally. I can also understand that there must be a certain amount of friction between the two countries during a war such as this, but our aims are the same." Lord Derby looked towards Ameri- ca joining England and her allies at all events after the war in order to prevent a repetition of wars like the present. TURKISH SUEZ STORY A PURE FABRICATION A despatch from London says: - Claims of a Turkish victory east of the Suez Canal over the British Egyp- tian forces were denied in the follow- ing official statement given out by the War Office on -Thursday: "It was stated in a German wireless hies - sage that our cavalry was driven back from Romani (El Rumen) and Kati, (El Katie), on Sinai . Peninsula. Our cavalry has completed the occupation of Katia and nowhere has been driven back. Complete superiority over the enemy has been established." ado may be regarded as a faselunner of the King's determination to snake a tour of Canada with the Queen as soon after the war as possible, accord- ing to the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, Reference is made to plans by the King to visit Canada during the Duke of Connaught's tenure of office, the assertion being made that they were cut short by the outbreak of the war, The Duchess of Devonshire is not only Mistress of the Robes of the Queen but is one of her closest friends. She was, before her marriage, Lady Evelyn Mary Fitzmaurice, daughter of Lord Lansdowne. She is a 'great social favorite nand one of London's most popular hostesses. Both she and the Duke have visited more than once. GERMAN WORKMEN URGED NOT TO STRIKE A despatch from Berlin says: The Socialist Executive Committee and the General Commission of Labor Unions in Germany have united in a joint appeal to the working classes not to participate in strikes ad demonstra- tions which the Radical leaders of the Liebknechtt group of Socialists are endeavoring to organize. The peo- ple are warned against giving ear to what is termed the shady propaganda of "the apostles of protest and the general strike," it being declared that such efforts are roomed in advance to failure and can only injure the partici- pants and discourage their brothers fighting at the front. BRITAIN IS MAKING HER OWN MUNITIONS. Factories to Make One Class of Ex- plosives in Vast Quantities. A despatch from London says: During a discursive debate on the questions of the war in the House of Commons on Wednesday night, Dr. Christopher Addison, Parliamentary Secretary of Munitions, in replying to a question said that the Department of Munitions was endeavoring to re- duce the contracts for munitions in the United States by increasing the output here. In one particular class of explosives, he said the department had undertaken the construction and equipment of factories to provide these explosives on an unheard of scale. GERMANS EXECUTE BELGIANS ON A BARBAROUS PRETEXT. A despatch from London says: Six civilians have been executed by the Germans at Ghent charged with "war treason," according to a Reuter's Am- sterdam despatch quoting The Tele- graf. The despatch also says that the Germans have removed 7,000 men, 2,000 women and 150 pupils of the Turgot Institute from Roubaix, pre- sumably for agricultural work in Germany. NOTED GERMAN AIRMAN SLAIN BY BRITISH PILOT. A despatch from The Hague says: Lieut. Parshall, the famous German aviator, was killed fighting a British biplane. Butter -making competitions were in- troduced at the Canadian National Ex- hibition in 1899 for the first tim in America. They are similar to those given at the Dairy Shows in Great Britain.

Leave Russian Ports and Are Navi- gated Around Sweden. A despatch from .Stockholm says: Almost every day British steamers ly- ing at Russian ports manage to get out of the Baltic and escape the Ger- man cruisers. The ships generally cross the Gulf of Bgthnia and are piloted around Sweden inside the tet' ritorial limit. This traffic during the last few weeks has been considerably developed. The ships as a rule take on. board an entire Swedish crew and Swedish officers. The pro -German pa- pers here are urging that this traffic be stopped, contending that it is not in accord with absolute neutrality, But the Government has taken no ac- tion so far against it.

The only thing we can trust is our arms." GENERAL ALLENBY CAVALRY LEADER HE SAW SERVICE 1N TRE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR. He May Shortly Have Chance on Big Scale to Again Show His Capacity. Does the use of cavalry by the 13ritish in the big offensive in Picardy this week foreshadow the near ap- proach of the day when our horse sol- diers will be extensively used in driv- ing the Germans back out of Belgium ? We are all. hoping so at any rate. So far this war has been a titanic struggle between infantry and artil- lery, the cavalry playing but a small part; but what work there has been to do has been done with that splen- did efficiency which led Lord French, in his early despatches from the front, to bestow the highest praise upon General Sir Edmund Allenby, who is commander of our horsemen at the front. King George has the highest admir- ation for this great cavalry leader, who visited His Majesty recently to post him on matters at the front. Cavalry men in general and the Innis- killings in part3'cular swear by Allen- by, for it is largely due to his methods introduced on Salisbury Plains that our cavalry are to -day recognized •as the best in the world. Gen. Sir Edirund Allenby. It was with the Inniskillings that General Allenby made his mark. As a youngster he- entered the famous dragoons and first saw active service in the Beclnianal'and Expedition of '84, and afterwards in the Zulu War of '88. -- "Hard "Hard service" is General Allenby's motto. Like Lord Kitchener, he holds the view that social and society life should play no part in a soldier's career. General Allenby married twenty years ago, and his dislike of publicity is emphasized by an incident which occurred during the South African War, when he won his C.B. At the entry into Barberton, after desperate- ly hard fighting under. Lord French, the general of the brigade wished Al- lenby's division to lead the triumphal procession into the town; but al- though it had tak-en the honors in the field, being first in every attack, Allenby demurred when it came to a parade of victory. He excused himself with: "My men and horses are fatigued," and came quietly in the day after. His thought for his men and officers is one of General Allenby's marked character- istics. DUTCH FISHING BOATS SEIZED BY BRITISH Ship. Owners of Holland Enter Pro- test Against English Action. A despatch from Berlin says The Dutch Christian. Seamen's Union, says the Overseas News Agency, has endorsed bhe protest of the Dutch ship owners and sailors' union against the action of the British authorities in seizing Dutch fishing boats, virtual- ly all of which have been taken pos- session of,. according bo news agency. GERMAN GOVERNMENT SEIZES FIELD CROPS A despatch from Amsterdam says : -The Handelsbald says the Minister of Agriculture has informed the Bur- gomasters that in the interest of the feeding of man and beast the seizktre of all wheat, oats and barley is neces- nary. The Minister, according to bhe newspaper, has directed the officials to buy up all corn in the fields at fixed prices. GERMAN SUBMARINE RAIDS FISHING FLEET. A despatch from London says :-A German submarine has raided a Y3ric- ish fleet of fishing boats. Eight of the vessels was sunk. The crews were landed on Friday at the North Sea port of Tynemouth. ,Previous to 1885 ales and beers wore sold on the Canadian. National Exhibi- tion grounds. The sale was abolished at an annual less in booth rentals of $2,000, quite a sum in the early days of the pig Fair to pay for a principle.

Na •.h:,.,• KEY OIMPORTANT PASSES CAPTOR ED BY T ll) ALINE Nearly Entire Austrian Garrison Surrendered, It Having Been Demoralized by the Suddenness of the Attack. A. despatch from Milan, Italy, says: Since July 20 operations have been conducted by the Italians in the upper San Pellegrino valley with consider- able success. One detachment captur- ed aptured the strong position of Cavallazze, a key to the two passes of Rollo and Col Bricon, The Austrians, though they held well defended positions, were completely demoralized by the sudden sistance nearly the entire garrison surrendered. Four; hundred prisoners, two guns, several machine guns and considerable material were captured. The Italians have since pushed their advantage still further, and have oc- cupied Cima Stradone, thus forming a serious menace to the Austrian posi- tion on the Dolomites road. The points of advantage gained by the Italians give them command of the San Pelle- attack, and after a short re- grino and Travignolo valleys. THE GERMAN FRONT WEST OF _11 SK BRUEN Czar's Victorious Armies Within 58 Miles of Lemberg, With Railroad Connection. A despatch from Petrograd says: The Russians have occupied the im- portant railroad junction of Brody, 58 miles north-east of Lemberg, in Ga- licia. They have also by another drive 60 miles away broken through the entire first line of the Teutonic allies west of Lutslee and driven the Austro -German forces from the line of the River Slonevka and Boldu- rovka, Southern Volhynia, according to the official communication issued on Friday night by the War Office. Heavy casualties were inflicted on the Austro -Germans; over 9,000 men were made prisoner, two generals, and a large number of guns were captured. Brody is a great railway junction, and it had been expected the Austrians would retain it at all cost. The swift- ness of this new Russian stroke was unexpected. The occupation of the town may have the effect of causing the entire Austrian line southward to- ward Tarnopol and Buczacz, which has been held tenaciously in face of Russian attacks, to fall back. The fall of Brody is a serious threat to Lemberg, and ties rapid and suc- cessful advance of Gen. Sakharoffs forces menace the whole Austro -Ger- man line of communications from the north to the south. For the present Kovel yields in importance to Lem- berg. The position of this portion of the Russian front seems to be that Goi:eral Kaledines, having driven Gen. von Linsingen's left wing behind the Stokhod River, has suspended his ad- vance towards Kovel and is holding up the great Teutonic forces there while Gen. Sakharoff is pressing on toward Lemberg, which is defended by the forces of Gen. Boehm-Ermolli. BRITISH WIN ALL LDNGUEVAL Melville Wood Is Also Firmly in the Possession of Haig's Forces. A despatch from London says: One of the most furious _battles of the war is being waged on the five -mile Pozieres=Longueval front, where the British and Germans have been grip- ped in a bloody struggle for more than a week. The British troops are con- tinuing to gain important ground against the most desperate resistance yet faced in any theatre. With their full weight of guns and with thous- ands of trained reinforcements . the Germans are contesting every inch of the blood-soaked territory. The Germans have been completely driven.fronl the Delville wood, a for- est fortress behind the German third line of defence. The British won the last inch of ground in this vital posi- tion by a night attack. The wood was held by _ the famous Brandenburg corps, which has distinguished itself on every field from Warsaw to Ver- dun, and it was against these trained veterans that "Kitchener's army of clerks" scored its victory. Under cover of an artillery fire so terrible that the German general staff make special comment upon it In their official report, the British on Fri- day continued their onward swing, at- tacking the Teutons at Longueval, the fortified village which has seen some of the heaviest fighting of the war. With the Germans already driven in. from most of their outlying positions the British troops attacked the main. defence works of the village, carrying several of the strongest, and obtaining complete control of the entire place. At the same time, on the opposite tip of the day's battle -front, the Brit- ish engaged the Germans in hand-to- hand fighting in the neighborhood of Pozieres. The final capture of Delville wood is very gratifying to'the British peo- ple. It was first taken July 17, but was afterwards abandoned. For many days the wood and the village of Longueval have been the scene of some of the heaviest fighting of the whole cam- paign. The possession of this wood and of Longueval is expected to fa- cilitate greatly the further progress of the Franco -British .forces. BRITISH CAPTAIN MURDERED. Germans Take Commander's Life Without Giving a Fair Trial. A despatch from London says: News of the execution of Captain Fryatt of the British steamer Brussels caused` a painful impression at the Foreign Office. Under the instruc- tions of Viscount Grey, the Foreign Secretary, a note was despatched im- mediately to the American Embassy requesting that James W. Gerard, the American Ambassador at Berlin, pro- cure complete details of the affair. The first intimation of the trial of Captain Fryatt was called to the at- tention of the Foreign Office by press reportson July 18 to the effect that he was to be tried as the result of finding on hien a watch containing an inscription reciting his efforts to ram a German submarine. BRITISH ADVANCES CONTINUE IN GERMAN EAST AFRICA Enemy Driven From Strongly -Organized Positions Astride Rail, road -German Governor Killed.

In view of published statements that the recent rebellion in Dublin was a "schoolmasters' rebellion," a strongly worded . resolution was adopted at the annual meeting of the Irish Protestant Teachers' Union in Belfast, declaring their loyalty to King and Empire.. The last of a fleet of twenty-two motor ambulances, contributed by the people of Ulster, was formally hand- ed over by Sir Crawford McCullough, Lord Mayor of. Belfast, to Mrs. Sin- clair, Strabane, who received it on behalf of the Ulster Volunteer Force Hospital in France. FOREIGNERS IN GERMANY. Belgians Will Return After War, But Poles Will Stay. An interesting series of articles on German cities in war -time is ap- pearing in the "Berliner Tageblatt." Speaking of Dusseldorf, on the Rhine, the writer notes the precauln tions taken by the military authori- ties when trains are crossing the. Rhine bridges. windows must be closed, and sentries are about at all prominent points to gee that no bombs are thrown out, or that nothing sus- picious happens. In Dusseldorf itself, and in the country around, one is not struck with any superabundance of soldiers. It is true that uniforms are more frequent than in peace, but they are not so very frequent as to warrant one in saying that "Dusseldorf swarms with military." But it swarms with wound- ed. You see them wherever you go, in the Streets and squares and public gardens. A remarkable number of Wounded have their heads bound up. This is accounted for by the fact that in Dusseldorf there is a huge hospital for wounds in the jaw.' These wound- ed warriors are met with in largo numbers in the cafes and restaurants. Their heads are all muffled up in thick bandages, but they are supplied with metal pipes, by which they suck their coffee and beer through slits in their wrappings. Manufacturers in the city and suburbs are very busy with war or- der's, and a surprising number : of new factories of a temporary charac- ter have been erected. Day and tight these places palpitate with roaring furnaces and hammers, and tens of thousands of hands are here from the occupied areas of Belgium and Po- land, and responoible people are be- ginning to ask what will happen to them when the native Dusseldorfer returns front the war. The Belgians Will go back to their own country but Poles will never go back, and when fighting is over they will re- main 3m the beautiful Rhineland and Westphalia, and strengthen the Po- lish communities already too numr- ous in the west for comfort. --eM A man withotit a coantry is ons who lives in town.
