Exeter Times, 1916-9-14, Page 2HAVE U A P LI Y IN THE INS R NCE CO. IF BALNS FALL TO AWES GERMANY CANNOT SURVIVE Hfrdenburg to Make Desgnerate Effort to Shatter the Russian and Roumanian Forces.. A despatch from Acqui, Italy, says: Field Marshal von Hindenburg's ap- pointment as chief of the German general staff suggests a desperate en- deavor to shatter the Russian and Roumanian forces. The Hungarian Government re- gards these organizations with fear and trembling. The Hungarian press considers the coming struggle in that quarter decisive for the isolation of the Germans from their Eastren allies and for a Russian invasion of the Hungarian plain. They make it clear that the fullest apprehension prevails and that all hope has vanish- ed. The Hungarian journal Vilag says: "Germany can face an economic war only so long as she possesses the Berlin -Bagdad railway. If Transyl- vania is lost, and if the Balkans fall 'into the hands of her enemies, Ger- ; many cannot survive the loss." BRITISH ARE IN POSSESSION OF WHOLE GERMAN SECOND LINE Their Position Enormously Superior to That of the Enemy on. Other Side of Watershed. A despatch from London says: Phillip Gibb, the ever correspondent, commenting in the Daily Telegraph on the recent British advance, says; "It is not sufficiently realized that this is a very important gain, The capture of Guillemont and the ground beyond has given the British the whole of the German second line. "The British troops had an uphill fight to seize the high ridge at Po- zieres and to the eastwards. It was difficult to take and difficult to hold, and the cost was not light. "They have now gained the crest of the ridge, and even if the offensive is brought to a dead halt, which it won't be, the position for the Winter is en- ormously superior to that of the Ger- mans on the other side of the water- shed."

A despatch from London says: - That Great Britain's bill against Mexico for the murder of her nation- als and the destruction of property and trade will be a formidable one, is certain, and is also the fact that it will be presented for payment through the United States. All big Mexican interests here show a significant hesi- tation in discussing the matter, hold- ing that the negotiations are at pre- sent at a critical stage. For instance, a representative of a great Anglo - Mexican concern, S. Pearson and Sons, said the time was not oppor- tune to resuscitate the matter. "Whatever claims we have," said this man, "will not be presented by us personally to the Mexican authorities, but by the British Government, and probably by the latter through the Government of the United Sbates. At the present stage we can say no more." Enquiries at the Foreign Of- fice led to the reply that nothing de- finite could be stated about the sub- ject at this time. BRITISH TRADE GROWS. Exports Increased in August by About $75,000,000. A despatch from London says: Figures given out on Thursday by the British Board of Trade for the month of August show that imports during the month were increased by- £6,716,- 000, while the exports were increased by £15,281,000. The principal in- creases in imports were: Cotton, £3,- 000,000; 3;000,000; and oils, seeds and fats, £2,- 250,000. The export increases were made up principally of manufactured articles. Of these cotton textiles in- creased £3,000,000, iron and steel, 22,- 500,000, 2;500,000, and coal, £1,500,000. ing to sample, $5.60 to 25.70, nominal, r amined by a medical board, after he bags, track Toronto, Prompt shipment; new, $5,50 to $5.60, nominal, bulk sea- is finally attached for overseas ser - board, prompt shipment. vice.

This is for the pur- D. Scott, Superintendent of Immigra- tion, who has returned from his an- nual visit to the Western Provinces, thinks that the crop will average well, although conditions vary not only as between provinces, but in each pro- vince. "Conditions," said Mr. Scott, "are not at all bad, though in some parts the yield is light, especially in Southern Manitoba and parts of Sas- katchewan. It depends upon cultiva- tion and early seeding. Prices are good. I was told in the West that there would be 165,000,000 bushels of wheat. There is plenty of labor for the harvest, the farmers having ask- ed for 40,000 men and having secured 37,000 in the first response." Speak- ing of immigration, Mr. Scott said that Americans of a good class were taking up land in the West. GET CLAIMS READY AGAINST TEUTONS A despatch from London says :- King George on Friday signed a proclamation requiring British sub- jects to make returns in regard to property owned by them in countries ab war with Great Britain and also of claims made by them against sub- jects or governments of hostile coun- tries. BRANTFORD DRUGGISTS WILL NOT SELL LIQUOR A despatch from Brantford says :- Local druggists have decided to serve all connections with the liquor trade once prohibition goes into effect. The Druggists' Association after meeting, unanimously decided not to sell liquor even for prescription purposes.

Mewes says in a despatch to the. Daily Mirror: "In company with Stanley Wash- burn I recently motored to the head- quarters of Gen. Brussiloff, who re- ceived us. He talked to us for nearly an hour. "The fighting at Verdun, he said, soldiers of France. For his recent suc- cesses he gave all the credit to the Russian soldier. Washburn asked the General if Warsaw would be retaken this year. He replied: `Yes, why not?' "Brussiloff has implicit faith in the Russian soldier. Last year he re- treated owing to the lack of muni- tions. He is as confident of the ulti- mate result as he is now of Warsaw filled him with admiration, for the being retaken this year." WAR WILL END BY MARCH SAYS THE PROPHET WELLS. A despatch from Paris says: "The Germans will have begun to squeal by November, and the war will end by March." This `statement was made on Thursday by H. G. Wells, the fam- ous British writer, who has just re- turned from the French and Italian fronts. AEROPLANE PLANT AT BERLIN WRECKED. A despath from London says: The destruction of a large aeroplane fac- tory at Adlerhof, near Berlin, is re- ported in despatches received from Copenhagen. An explosion wrecked the structure, which then burned. Ten military aeroplanes were destroyed. No one was killed. SIXTY STEAMERS FREED. Allied Vessels Out of Baltic After Jutland Battle. A despatch from Galveston, Texas, says: The British steamer Veraston, which arrived on Friday after being interned in Petrograd for two years, reported that she and fifty-nine other steamers of allied nations were able to escape from the Gulfs of Finland and Bothnia, through the. Baltic, Cat- tegat and Skaggerack, immediately following the naval battle off Jutland. The Veraston's captain said the battle was a great British victory, and that in addition to the three -score ships coming out with him many others fol- lowed. •3 It is surprising how much work a man' can find to do that he does not want to do. TRENCHES TENANTED BY DEAD KILLED BY THE FUMES OF GAS Frightful Effects of the New Russian Gas Shell Is Shown in the Recent Fighting. A despatch from Petrograd says: The recent attack at Svinjuchi, 20 miles south-east of Vladimir Volynski, was heralded by a dramatic incident. During the artillery preparation in this part the Teutons were treated liberally to the new Russian gas shell. The Austrian fire was suddenly silenced. The Russians, pushing for- ward, found the trenches tenanted only by dead, grimly grotesque fig- ures • lying or leaning, evidently killed instantly, by the fumes of the gas. The number of Austrians who thus perished is several hundred. Thursday morning there was a five- hour artillery preparation. By two o'clock in the afternoon three lines of Teuton trenches had been captured along a front of 20 miles. Three thousand prisoners, many of them Germans, have arrived at Lutzk, NEV,; CANADIAN AR LOA The Safest and Best Investment Possible to Obtain Without Charge We Will Give Best Attention to Any Applications Placed Through Us These Securities Are Always Saleable Always Ready to Purchase and We Are Full Particulars and Subscription Forms Furnished on Application Write 'Us, or Telegraph or Telephone at Our Expense W.

A despatch from Paris says; The French have cleared the way for the extension of their offensive south of the Somme. While their, artillery north of the river was busy .prepar- ing the -German trenches for further assault, infantry south of the river gave another squeeze to the pincers that aro rapidly closing on the Ger- man. positions, The principal attack is against Berny-en-Santerre, which is an ex- tremely important village. Situated on the flank of the hill that dominates Barleux, it protects the little plateau of Villerscarbonnel; where the Ger- mans have massed large collections of heavy batteries. Berny-en-San- terre, three kilometres from Villers- carbonnel and four and four-fifths kilometres from the Somme, is at tha head of a system of • deep ravines leading to the Somme and turning on southward to the German gun positions, An advance by the French in this direction would be disastrous to the Germans, as it would make it extremely difficult for them to with- draw their big guns. In. addition, the advance on Berny-en-Santerre great- ly helps troops attacking Deniecourt. The latter village is now three- fourths surrounded by the French. ICE CREAM PARLOR CARS ON THE C.P.R. The Ice Cream Parlor plays such an important part in the life of peo- ple that Dr. W. A. Cooper, of the Canadian Pacific Dining Car Service, has decided to incorporate it into rail- way travel and has initiated what may be called the Ice Cream Parlor Car on the chief trains between Mont- real and Ottawa, that is to say on the trains which carry a Buffet - Library -Observation -Parlor -Car. It is now possible on such cars to ob- tain soft drinks, ice -creams and sun- daes, and though the service has been in existence only a few days, its pop- ularity has been so pronounced that it will no doubt be extended to other services in the near future. GERMAN ARMY STAFF. HIGHLY OPTIMISTIC A despatch from Amsterdam says : -A telegram received here from Ber- lin says that in view of the forthcom- ing convocation of the Reichstag, there was held on Tuesday a confer- ence between Chancellor von Beth- mann-Hollweg and the party leaders. The Chancellor declared that Field 'Marshal von Hindenburg, chief of the general staff, and General von Lud- endorf, the field marshal's chief of staff, agreed that the military situa- tion was favorable. It was said there was no thought of raising the age limit of liability for military ser- vice. Confidence was expressed in the success of the new war loan. GERMAN MAIL SERVICE BY ZEPPELIN TO U. S. A despatch from Chicago says: Two "double" Zeppelins, unarmed and each with a carrying capacity of 60 tons, have been built in Germany to carry mail between Berlin and the United States, according to statements here by Morris Epstein, agent of the Ger- man -American Alliances, who return- ed from Europe on Tuesday "They are so constructed," said Epstein, "that they can rise higher than any aeroplane, and thus escape hostile aviators. They also can descend to the water and travel there under their own power." U.A.C. REPORTS SHOW CROPS ARE SMALL, A despatch from Guelph says: Re- ports received at the Agricultural College of crop conditions throughout the province are not encouraging, es- �.• pecially in regard to roots and beans. Marigolds and turnips are not getting the Fall growth that they should. Po- tatoes will be about half a crop. The continued dry weather is interfering with the work on all the farm plots here. As a general thing their sys- tem of cultivation protects . them against delays from this cause, but not so this year. TURKS MUTILATE BODIES } OF RUSSIAN SOLDIERS. A despatch from Petrograd says: An official statement says: "Cauca- sian front -In the region of Ognott our troops are advancing and inflict- ing great losses - on the enemy. In the region to the west of Ognott we found corpses of our soldiers terribly mutilated by the Turks. To the west of Lake Van British armored motor cars drove out the.
