INDIA GIVES NOBLY
Loyalty of Native Rulers Shown in
Most Unmistakable Manner
In the British House of Commons
last week, Captain Charles Roberts,
one of the Under -Secretaries of the
Colonial Office, read an important
statement from the Viceroy of •India,
in reference to offers of service from
the native States.
"The rulers .of the native States of
India, who -number nearly seven hun•

rallied to the defence pf the' Empire
and offered their personal services
and the resources of their States for
the war," said Captain Roberts.
"Twenty-seven of the larger States

ABANDONED THE WOUNDED
Fleeing Germans Unable to Take Care
of Disabled Men
A ' foreign officer, who visited the
scene ,of Saturday's fighting, when the
allied army was pursuing the .fleeing
left wing of the Germans. at' Berzy,.
just south of Soissons, describes a
terrible scene of carnage. The fields
and woods were thickly strewn with
dead; several thousands had fallen in
that district. The Germans fought a
stern rear -guard action, keeping the
allies at a respectful distance. They
left all the wounded where they fell
to become prisoners of the allies.
Much war material lay In confusion
and a hundred houses in the neigh-
borhood were wrecked, the furniture
lying in broken heaps. In the shelter
of the walls numbers of wounded;
were propped up awaiting the arrival
of ambulances.

In response to the British public';:
demand for fuller information the
War Office last week made public the
text of Sir John French's report cover-
ing the British operations from the
time of the arrival in France to
August 28th. The report shows that
in the fighting around Mons his troops
bore themselves heroically; fighting
night and day against . overwhelming
odds. With not over 90,000 fighting
men he held off for four days the
determined attack of five German
army corps, totalling,200,000, General
French ' paid high tribute to the
courage and resourcefulness of Gener-
als Macready, Allenby and Smith-
Dorrien.
BOERS LOYAL TO THRONE
Ten Times Rather be Under British
Than German Flag, Says Botha
•
In a stirring speech to the Assembly
of the Union of South Africa, Pre-
mier Botha promised thewhole,
hearted support of the Union to the
Imperial Government in the present
war, and declared that the racial
hatchet had been burled.
As a proof of the Union's deter-
mination to assist in maintaining the
integrity of the Empire, he announced
that the Government had undertaken
to carry through Military operations
in German Southwest Africa. "Al-
though there may be many here who
in the past have been hostile to the
British flag," said Premier -Botha,
"they' would to -day ten times rather
be under the British than the Ger-
man flag."

THE WINGHAM" ADVAO
HALE MILLION MORE MEN
Great Britain to R Army of Un-
prscedented Size
'Premier .Asquith last Thuraday
asked Parliament to add another half -
Million amen of all ranks to the regular
army. After .a short debate the mo -
#ton was unanimously adopted. This
will brin& the total of all ranks in
the army to the unprecedented figura
for Great Britain of 1,400,900.
In moving the resolution the Pre-
mier said that the time had not come
to relax efforts to obtain more troops.
After the reserves had been .called.
out there were 400,000 men with the
colors. On August -6 he proposed
that an additional half -million men b
recruited, making a total of 900,000,
This suggestion was approved, and
the recruiting was so successful that
by September 9 439,000 mon had
joined, exclusive of territorials, mak-
ing 00,000 less than the 900,000 plan-
ned for, On one day, he said, 33,290
men had enlisted. The average en-
listment in the army in an ordinary
Year was 35,000 men.
Mr. Asquith paid a warm tribute to
the' War Office organization, dealt
g and
With the various difficulties connected
with the rush of recruits. Measures
had been taken, he said, to meet the
congestion. These included an allpw-
ance of 75 cents a day to those for
whom no accommodation could be
found in the barracks. If the grant
were passed he was sure that the re-
sponse would be no less keen and
ample than .was that to the first levy.
Britain would then be in position to
put something like 1,200,000 men in
the field, That was the provision of
the mother country herself, exclusive
of territorials, the national reserve
and the magnificent contributions
promised from India and the Domin-
ions. It was an effort worthy of a
great sacrifice.
Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the
Opposition, expressed the Opposition's
cordial support of the Government's
proposals.

Fighting In Africa
British troops met and defeated a
German force of 400 which entered
Nyassaland, British Central Africa,
some time last week, according to an
official announcement made at London.
The Germans lost seven officers
killed and two wounded, two field
and two machine guns. The losses
among the rank and file have not
been ascertained, but • were heavy.
The British loss among the whites
was four killed and 'several wounded;
the loss among rank and ale was not
asceatained,
Death Rate Two Per Cent.
The. Health Department of the
French War Office in a statement
issued lastweek said: "This war is
not resulting in a very heavy loss of
life. Of every hundred men placed
hors -de -combat only tWo are killed.
While our wounded are numerous,
their injuries are generally slight,
consisting mainly of wounds in ti'#..,
legs and arms. Such injuries heal
rapidly, and many wounded have re-
turned already to the front."

Star Line which had been converted

The German Retreat

1 glum into France met an immovable
tome at the Marne River,
1 The army of Gen. von Kluk, which
so long battled to turn the allies'
western flank, was itself slowly and
teadily outflanked. Its retirement
before the small, but hardy British
army, turned the tide of battle.
1 If the French official reports are
correct, all the German armies except
that facing Verdun and a few miles
' southwest, are retreating. Gen. von
Kluk's army, which a week ago was
a few miles to the southeast of Paris,
lies retired more than 60 miles to the
northeast, while on the extreme right

Prince, which was attacking the
Wrench eastern line from Nancy to
Epinal, has fallen back to the fron-
tiers to Lorraine, permitting the
' French to reoccupy Ltineville and
several other towns.
11 General Joffre, the French com-
' mander-in-chief, pictures the retreat
as hurried, if not disorderly, with the
•iQermans abandoning ' prisoners,
rounded and supplies.
German Pian Failed
1 The battle of the Marne, which
was decided in a week, is regarded
by military critics as the most mar-
iielous reversal of roles of two armies
own. In their view it appears to
ave decided the first phase of the
rear and to have made impossible the
Alan which the German staff is sup-
'rposed to have had of smashing the
ench by one comprehensive stroke,
jl►nd then turning the bulk of the Ger-
forces eastward to confront the
Ger-
.
i The military experts, however, are
Still cautious. While recognizing' the
possibility that the German armies
may yet rally and draw a strong
defensive line, they recognize also
the possibility of the almost com-
plete evacuation of France and Bel-
gium.
1 Paris announces that the Germans
pve evacuated Amiens. The where-
abouts of German reinforcements of
60,000 reported to be marching south
n three roads in that neighborhood
s
unknown.
-The Belgian army is credited with
ishe determination to reoccupy Brus-
els and claims to have cut the rail-
oad between Liege and Brussels, thus
evering an important German line of
communication and to be pushing the
scattered German forces, composed
for the most part of reservists, to -
;Wards the southeast.
11 An official report issued at London
says: "The third French army re-
ports that it has captured the entire
artillery of a hostile army corps, a
'capture which probably represents
about one hundred and sixty guns.
The enemy, thus in retreat along the
whole line west of the Meuse, has
suffered gravely in morale, besides
encountering heavy losses in person-
nel and material."
"The main portion of the enemy's
right wing was attacked frontally
by the British army, which had been
transferred from the north to the
east of Paris, and by a French corps
advancing alongside it en a line be-
tween Crecy, Couloummiers and Se•
zanne.
I German Counter-attacks Fall
"The combined operations have, tip
to the present, been completely sue-
cessful, The German outer flank
was forced back as far as the line
of the Ourcq River. There it made
a strong defence and .executed several
vigorous counter-attacks, but was un-
able to beat off the pressure of the
French advance.
k. "The main body of the enemy's
Tight wing vainly endeavored to de-
fend the line of the Grend Morin
;River, and then that of the Petit
Morin, Pressed back over both of
`these rivers and threatened on its
!gist, owing to the defeat of the
overing force by the allied left,, the
Merman right wing retreated over the
Marne on September 10."
