BRITISH ADVANCE TO' A
DEPTH OF THREE MILES
Take Bazentin and Longueval, Also the Whole of Trones Wood.
Germans Surrendered Freely.
A despatch from London says:
General Sir Douglas Haig struck
again at dawn on Friday. The British
front has been advanced three miles
to the eastward. It rests on a line
from Bazentin le Petit to Longueval.
Both villages are in British hands.
Beyond the latter place the British
troops are fighting forward in the
wooded section in desperate hand-to-
hand engagements with the Germans.
The British advance at its deepest
point on Friday night approximated
three Miles.
Friday's advance is • one •of the
greatest blows 'yetstruck the .Ger-
mans in the :Picardy: offensive. It
brings the British southern front .on
an even line . with the French at
Hardecourt and puts the British in
good position to drive a wedge be-
tween Thiaumont and Perone, the
two main German base's on this front.
Longueval Ons' the junction point of
Several important highroads, which
had been of much value to the Ten-
tome, while on the 'north of Friday's
front of attack the British,are ap-
proaching the Pozieres, • another
strongly defended village on the road
to the commanding heights of Martin-
puich.
They are now within two miles of
this crest line, the capture of- which
would give them artillery. control of
the neighborhood and serve as a
serious' menace to Bapaume.
A despatch from' Reuter's corre-
spondent 'on the British' front says
that the German second line was car-
ried with small loss, and the Germans
surrendered freely.
COMING GOVERNOR
A' MASTER OF TACT
DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE WILL BE
POPULAR.
He Has Been. One of the Busiest Men
in the United Kingdom •
For, Years.
•
In the opinion of " Ex -Attache,"
whose acquaintance with public men in
the Old Country is of long standing,
and who contributes articles on Euro-
pean affairs to the Pittsburg Dispatch,
Canada is to be congratulatedupon
the fact that the Duke of Devonshire
is to be her next Governor-General.
"Ex -Attache " says that Canadians
will find in the Duke of Devonshire
'one of the most approachable an
genial viceroys who was ever sent. to
Ottawa.' It is admitted that it will be
no easy task to succeed•so heartily -
liked a Governor-General as the Duke
of Connaught, who has endeared him-
self to the peopleof this country ; but
if anyone could succeed in the task
it is likely to be the Duke of Devon-
shire, whose great position has been
so long 'established that he has never
felt the slightest need 'of asserting it
in word or bearing.
A. Strong Sense of Duty.
Only a strong sense of duty could
induce the Duke of Devonshire to ac-
cept the position of Governor-General
of Canada, for lie has nothing left In
the way of elevation of rank to which
he might aspire ; ' and highly though
the' people of Ottawa may esteem the
privilege of living in that city, it is
not something that might fittingly
crown the ambition of the Duke of
Devonshire. His acceptance of the
post means that he will have to break
up his racing stable, close Devonshire
House in Piccadilly and the famous
Chatsworth mansion in Derbyshire, as
well as Lismore Castle in Waterford,
to both of which country residences he
and the Duchess are said to be deeply
attached. Moreover, his active busi-
ness career will have to be abandoned
or at least interrupted for some years,
and he has -been one of the busiest
men in the kingdom. He manages
half a dozen great estates, and owns
almost the whole of the prosperous
seaside town of Eastbourne, of which
he has been repeatedly :elected. Mayor.
He is also Lord -Lieutenant of Derby-
shire, Chancellor of the University of

A Tactful Duke.
One of the distinguishing character-
istics of the Duke of Devonshire is
his tact, which was so severely tested"
when h'e acted as Financial Secretary
of the Treasury, in which capacity he
was' ex-officiothe distributor of the
Government patronage, 'and the chief
whip of the party. His was the deli-
cate duty of selecting the recipients
of .peerages; baronetcies, knighthoods,
and other honors on the first of the
year and on the King's birthday. That
he was able to discharge these duties
without making enemies or losing,
friends is sufficient testimonial to his
tact, and it must be due 'largely to
this quality that he is, with Lord
Derby, the closest personal friend of
King George. But it was in his rela-
tions with his late uncle, the eighth
Duke, that this characteristic shone
most brightly, and in especially trying
circumstances.

A Difficult Situation.
By the will of his grandfather, the
seventh Duke, Lord Victor Cavendish,
as he was then, received all the pro-
perty not entailed, family jewels,
laces, and other valuable possessions •
and it was generally understood that
the seventh Duke was strongly op-
posed to leaving them to his own son,
because it was well known that he
was to marry the Duchess of Man-
chester. To this brilliant woman the
old Duke had taken a prejudice, and
when after his death his son and heir
married her, as expected, relations be-
tween him and the nephew might
well have been strained. That they
remained the best of friends, and that
the new Duchess of Devonshire left to
the wife of the present Duke instead
of to any of her owh daughters her
very finest diamonds are sufficient
evidence if the kindliness and tact'that
have saved a situation that must have
been awkward.
Is Sure To Make Friends.
- It has been noted that among the
several names that had been men-
tioned as likely to succeed the Duke
of Connaught, that of the Duke of
Devonshire was never heard. War
conditions made it injudicious to ap-
point the Duke of Teek, Queen Mary's
brother, after he had been practically
decided upon. Lord Curzon was
named ; and so were Lord Milner,
Lord Derby and Lewis Harcourt.
Brilliant public men though they are,
Lord Derby had more important war
duties to perform at present than it
is possible for a Canadian Governor-
General to discharge, and Lord Cur-
zon and Lord Milner are probably
better adapted for Imperial service in
other spheres. The office of Governor-
General of Canda has been in the past
used to achieve fine strokes of states-
manship,
tatesmanship, and history may repeat it-
self in this respect. What the Duke
of Devonshire will make of it remains
to be seen; that he will make no
blunders and many friends his pre=
vious career renders a safe predic-
tion.

patches from Salonica report serious

edldiers stormed a train on which
they had been refused transportation.
The railroads is controlled by the

es long vamp and fiats smoothly over

What's New in Neckwear
Neckwear is particularly interest-
ing this summer. The various col-
lars and jabots now modish offer
limitless ways of changing or bright-
ening up afrock or blouse.
Perhaps the very newest idea in
neckwear is the shoulder cape of
white, black, Java brown, or other
favored shade, of crepe Georgette,
trimmed with bands of ermine, beaver,
or moleskin. The e,hort-haired furs
are 'preferred for these capes. While
these novelties are a bit absurd, still,
they are effective and becoming, and
afford . quite a bit of warmth, worn
in the evening over the sheer lingerie
frock ;or the filmy dance dress.
The jabot frill of chiffon, net, picot -
edged Georgette, or organdy is an ef-
fective accessory with the tailored
suit; it is worn oftentimes with the
coat, and then again it is. apart of
the blouse. The jabot 'blouse is one
of the popular 'models of the season.

HEALTH
Apoplexy.
A when a blood vessel gives way
and permits the blood to flow into the
brain,an apopletic or paralytic stroke
occurs. That may happen to a per-
son apparently in good health, al-
though often the sufferer has pre-
viously complained of headaches or
dizziness, or has seemed drowsy, or
has shown: signs of unwonted irrit-
ability. The attack itself is general-
ly abrupt; the sufferer, engaged in his
usual tasks of amusements suddenly
complains of a pain in the head or a
feeling of illness; almost immediate-
ly he becomes unconscious. Some
cases are more gradual in their onset,
and may not even cause unconscious-
ness at all, in these cases the paraly-
sis, some degree of which always ac-
companies these atacks, appears while
the patient is perfectly aware of what
is happening. In still other cases
the attack begins with mental confu-
sion, which passes gradually, into un-
consciousness and finally into deep
coma.
The type of seizure depends on the
spot in the brain where the rupbared
vessel is, 'the size of the hemorrhage,
and the slowness of. rapidity with
which the blood flows. A severe
"stroke" is usually fatal ,but many
people have slight ones, from 'which
they recover to lead useful and happy
lives for a number of years. The
most striking symptom in such cases
is the paralysis that the attack leaves.
behind it, It is generally of he hem-
iplegic type; 'that is to say, it affects
only one side of the body, and some-
times, in very slight cases, only one
limb or set of muscles, Speech is
often affected, so that the sufferer
answers' questions slowly and with ef-
fort, and cannot always find the right
word.
The diagnosis of apoplexy isnot al-
ways easy, ate when a person -es-
pecially one .past youth -is found un-
conscious or in a partial stupor, a
physician shou"Yd be called at once,
since he alone is competent to say
what is causing the attack. It may
be a simple fainting fit; it may be
due to' some form of kidney trouble,
or the sufferer may have fallen and
injured his skull. Whatever may be
the underlying cause of the condition
-apoplexy or something else- the
patient must be kept perfectly quiet.
When you await the arrival of the
physician it is well to remove quiet-
ly a tight collar or any ether eon-
strieting garment. -Youth's Compan-
ion.
Stings and Bites.
About the most reliable and all
round remedy for bites and stings of
every kind is glycerine of carbolic
acid; without a little bottle of which
no one should attempt any long jour-
ney, or travel to any great extent. It,
is best to get the chemist to make you

CANADA'S SAVINGS
GROW DURING AR
During Past Twenty M14onih5
Have Increased Over
$100,000,000.
A ,despatch from Ottawa says :-
The consolidated revenue of Canada
for the three months of the fiscal year
ending June 30 was $50;772;903.02,
and the expenditure was $37,055,289.
The revenue from all sources amount-
ed to $56,000,000. Of this expendi-
ture only $10,528,045 comes ,ander
consolii fated fund account while $26,-
527,243 is under capital and $22,173i-
031. of this is war outlay. In the
month of June last the war expendi-
ture was $12,439,187.93. During the
three months' period the expenditure
on both capital and revenue, accounts
outside of the capital outlay on war
has decreased substantially, due to
the policy of rigid economy adhered to
by the spending departments of the
government.
The June revenue increaseei from n
$11,433,970 to $17,600,149, the in-
crease being found in nearly all
branches including $4,000,000 in cus-
toms.
The buoyancy of the Dominion's fi-
nancial situation is shown through-
out the statement. The total assets
of the Dominion on June 30 were
$420,395,783 as against $257,943,948 a
year ago. The net debt increased
from $450,287,721 to $593,010,637,
but the increase for the month was
$10,013,946,95, or nearly $2,000,000

TO GET BEER T
Goad Templars of Germany
Oppose Using Barley to
Make Beverage.
A despatch from Amsterdam says:
A protest against the consumption of
barley for the snaking of beer is made
in a letter sent to Chancellor ven
Bethmann-llolllweg signed by eight
thousand members of «Good Templar
lodges in Germany. The letter points
out the "gigantic waste of bread ma-
terial' in the use of large quantities
of barley for the production of beer.
It urges that hereafter beer be only
supplied on bread tickets.
Airmen Shell Rhone Town.
A despatch from Paris says: The
following official statement was issued
on Friday night: "In reprisal for the
bombardment by the enemy of the
open town of Luneville on the night
of 'June 24,. one of our aviators, fly-
ing at an altitude of about 1,500 feet,
dropped several shells of large calibre
on the town of Mulheint, on the right
bank of the River Rhone."
It Worked Well.
A honest citizen of Brussels, re-
turning home late at night under!,
artificial stimulation and singing at
the top of his voice, was apprehend-
ed! by a German patrol, says the
Ecro Beige. The citizen resisted,
and after a scuffle broke away from
his captors and fell into the canal.
Unable to swim, he began to call for
help without eliciting response from
the German policemen, who seemed
to think this was as good a way as
any out of the situation. Just as he
was going clown for the third time
the fugitive had a happy thought.
With all his remaining -strength he
yelled :
"Vive la Fr'ancel Vive la Franca"
A couple of Gernia.nsdived for
him at once. He was hauled out,
taken to the lockup and the next day,
sentenced to throe months for ut-
tering seditious cries.
Why.
"Why is it we don't hear any more
complaints about defective life -pre -
'servers on ships ?"
"Nobody has time to put then! of ."
