A despatch from London says: The Germans on Friday delivered numer- ous counter-attacks in strength along a great part of the front north of the Somme. Their artillery fire also is becoming heavier, new supplies: of am- munition having been brought up. De- spite their strenuous efforts, however, the British and French lines are un- changed, except for some local ad- vahces made by the French in the Morval sector. Here Foch's troops have pressed further to the eastward, in the region of the Peronne-Bapaume highroad, The report from General Haig's headquarters contains an interesting statement of the number of artillery pieces and machine guns captured from the Germans during the pro- gress of the Franco -British offensive. It says: "Between July 1st and Sept. 3rd, besides large quantities of other war material, we captured or recov- ered from the Somme battlefield 29 heavy guns and heavy howitzers, 92 field guns and field howitzers, 103 trench artillery pieces and 397 ma- chine guns." The allies' position is everywhere excellent, the line having been straightened out- after the capture of Combles and Thiepval, and, contrary to German reports, has been extended, not shortened. A despatch from Paris• says: The Paris Journal publishes, a table of the prisoners andIbootycaptured by the - allies on the four principal- 'fronts from July 1 to Sept: -1.8.

Only through cavalry, he said, could a rout, as distinguished from a more withdrawal, be assured. And only cavalry, he thought, could act as quickly as the occasion would demand in the broad intervals of open country between the lines of the en- emy's intrenchments. The Russian military wiseacres shook their heads. But Brussiloff had shown marvelous skill and adapt- ability in manoeuvring large bodies of men, and he was permitted to have his own way. The victorious commander, like most of the other successful generals in this war, is well advanced in years; he is sixty-four years of age. His vitality, however, is amazing. He is reported to be the picture of health at present, in spite of sixteen hours' work a day.

This will en- able the Government to apply $50,- 000,000 or more against the principal outlay on war account. The official returns for the first half of the fiscal year, that is to say, up to September 30, are now available and make, in the opinion of the Minister of Fin- ance, a showing satisfactory beyond the highest expectations of the bud- get. The revenue of. the Dominion from all sources has reached a total of $103,000,000, or $30,000,000 in ex- cess of that for the first half of last year.

NUMEROUS GAINS BY RUSSIANS IN VOLHYNIA AND GALICIA The German. Emperor Has Left for the Scene of the Principal Muscovite Attacks. A despatch from London says: The Russians scored successes at numer- ous points along a line extending from the district west of Lutsk in Volh.ynia to the Dniester in Galicia. The Russian offensive,. which halted temporarily while fresh supplies were being brought up to the front, is again nn full swing on the entire southern portion of the front.. Tre- mendous efforts are being made by the Czar's forces, according. to de- spatches from correspondents at the front. The Austro -German resistance apparently is stiffer than during the early stages of the drive, however, the defence of Lemberg and along the Volhynia lines being especially de- termined. It is officially announced'that Em- peror William has left for the eastern front to visit the troops of Gen. von Linsmgen, against whom the princip- al Russian attack is being directed.
