Retirement of Enemy.
A despeteh from London says: -
Whether as a result of weariness
After two weeks of incessant fighting
or bemuse of the greatly increased
strength l man -power and positions
of the enemy forces before them the
Oiled armies on the Soissona-B4ims
front have noticeably decreased their
efforte to clear the salient of Ger-
mans.
If the pause in the offensive is at-
tributable to weariness, the armies of
the German Crown Prince also must
be worn out by the pressure they have
been under for the fortnight, for, note
withstanding the fact that huge re-
inforcements were sent to them in
their hour of dire peril, they have
lacked the headiness to endeavor to
theow back their antagonists and re-
coup their losses,
The fourteen day of the great ale
lied offensive which has resulted in
driving back the Germans from the
Marne region northward across the
Oureq River and in materially bend-
ing in the eastern and western side of
the great pocket ;with its mouth run-
alag erose-eountry 86 miles from
Soissons to Rheime, sew little activity
on the part of either of the contending
forces -except in the nature of reci-
procal bombardments. Tuesdey
night witnessed violent attempts by
the Germans to expel the American
and French from the valuable peel -
Hens they hold north of the Oureq, in
the region of Fere-en-Tardenois, and
along the western side of the salient
near Oulehy-1eaChateau, where Scot-
tish troops are holding with the
French the wedge that has been driv-
en eastward into the enemy line.
These efforts were entirely fruitless.
Whether the Germans have chosen
the spot where ultimately they will
face about and give battle to the allied
forces has not yet become apparent,
Likewise whether their retreat -finally
has ended la not known. Great fires
behind the lines possibly might indi-
cate the destruction of further vil-
lage a which it is intended to evacuate

CANADIANS AGAIN
IN FRONT LINE

A despatch from London says: -
The Canadian forces now are again
ht the front line and celebrated their
return thither by continually haras-
sing the Boche opposite, raiding him
almost at will and contneuelly annoy-
ing hint on his communieutons on the
rear lines.
An extra German eivisidn Which
the enemy can ill spare for the pur-
pose, has been placed in front of the
Canadians, • from which prisoners
have already been captured,
Germans hold advanced posts now
so thinly that their front line Is Mac-
tleally no man's la.nd,
A young Toronto officer a few
nights back penetrated, with a ser-
geant, a mile of the enemy's trench
system, without encountering a single
Boche, and discovered on returning a
dugout whence issued many guttural
voices. The officer kept guard while
the sergeant returned for bombs, and
after hall an hour the neceesary tackle
arrived and the dugout was blown up,
TWO nore Canadians had now ar-
rived,
The explosloii of the dugout roused
the whole German line for a short dis.
tanee. With bombs and one of his

dash, reached his own posts safely.
The Canadians made several gas
projections recently, the wind being
favorable, and subsequent investiga-

JEWS TRAINED IN CANADA

A despatch from New York says: -
Safe arrival in Palestine of the first
two contingents of the American
Jewish Legion was announced by the
Zionist Organization of America.
Recruited last Spring, the men have
been trained in Canada and England,
and will join the Jewish regiment en-
rolled in London and already on the
firing line with the British' forces
near Jaffa.
Liege Must Pay Heavy Fine
For Celebrating Marne Victory
A despatch from London says
The Maastricht newspaper Les Nou-
velles says the inhabitants of Liege,
Belgium, held an enthusiastic public
demonstration over tho success of the
Entente offensive on the Marne sali-
ent, during which the Marseillaise
was -sung. Because of this, the news-
paper adds, the German governor has
ordered the curfew rung at 7 o'clock
in the evening for several...Necks and
the city also has been fined.
GERMAN MORALE
IS BROKEN
Disconsolate Batch of Prisoners
Taken by Australians.
A despatch from the British
Front says: -The farsreaching effect
on the German morale of the great
allied blow between Soissons and the
Champagne sector is nowhere more
convincingly apparent than among the
large batch of German prisoners cap-
tured within the last few days by the
Australians.
"A sad lot of rabbits," was the de-
scription of them by a British officer
who interrogated some of them.
"I've never run across A more dis-
consolate lot of Boches," he said.

But New Foe Device Meets With
Poor Success on the
Battlefield.
A despatch from Paris says: -That
the allies aro ingenious in coping with
awkward conditions as they arise is
exemplified in their method of deal-
ing with machine-gun nests which are
hidden in cornfields at every avail-
able point of•vantage. Big tanks -
those modern land cruisers -and
small tanks -land torpedoes-ebave
made short work of those deadly svea-
pons with which the enemy defends
himself,
To meet it, the Germans bit upon
the plan of burying torpedoes of a
new kind at a slight depth in front of
the tanks. This measure met with
only poor sucess, es the invention is
not hindering the allies.

The grain and food problems to be
met the coming year are altogther dif-
ferent from those of the past year, as-
serts a well known expert in grain. In
England the acreage devoted to food
crops is about two million acres in ex-
cess of last year. The caring for this
greatly increased acreage has been
possible owing to the importation of a
large number of American tractors,
reported as high as 5,000, with several
thousand more expected to be deliver-
ed iu time for the Otto harvest or the
fall ploughing. The crops in England
are expected to be sufficient to ma-
terially reduce the demand upon
foreige crops for the past year.
In France the outlook is so much
better that le is expected, according to
commercial advices, that; importations
of foreign wheat will be less than half
of the estimated requirements teat
year. In Italy the situation has also
steadily improved as to the. supplies
of food, and the crop prospects are
better than last year. Harvesting be-
gan in Italy the latter part of June,
and has progressed quite steadily. 13y
