A despateh from London says:— A. tor•ruitiel rainfall and the resultant turning ,of the battlefield—already hard of negotiation at man;' points— into a veritable. quagmire retarded, but failed to halt, during Wednesday the great allied offensive against the Germans in Plander's. The most part of the day was spent by the British and French troops in consolidating ,positions won in Tues day's spectacular drive or in down etrong -GerBan counter-attacks, niado in endeavors to wrest from their antagonists their former positions, At two, points ear Ypres the Ger- Mans, using great masses of men, were successful in their counter-at- tacks against the British, compelling the -evacuation of Haig's troops of the village of St Julien, but this advant- age was offset in the Zillebelte and ly, the l3ritish and French troops1ad- vaneed their lines. "The oil shells referred to by cor- llespondents at the front ere the latest new weapon," says an ordnance man in the Evening Standard, They are the necessary reprisal forced by the diabolical inventions of the German oil drums or canisters. They are con- structed in the form of shells, the casings of which are so thin that they burst easily after explosion, the small charge within scattering the flaming contents. They are fired from trench mortars, They are an effective reply to the flamenwer'fer of the Germans, which are merely tanks carried on soldiers' backs and worked by a hand pump with fire nozzle attachment." The newest tanks have heavier guns, says the Standard, and the re- coil often tosses the huge machines literally about.

' A despatch from London says:— While the rain and the morass have served to hold the allied forces in leash, preventing a resumption of the great offensive of Tuesday, they have not been effective to keeping the. Ger- mans from throwing counter-attacks with large forces of men against sev- eral newly won 'sectors of the front held by the. British and French troops nor in bringing about a cessation of the violent artillery duel along the en- tire line.

A despatch from Guelph says:— The delegates who are attending the Summer school for rural leadership are so delighted at the progress made that before dispersing they have organized so that the work can be car- ried on between the yearly gatherings. It ;was felt that only by the efforts of an: organization could the problems of ru- al leadership be effectively dealt with. aad.,in an interview with Com- missioner C. 0.

ALUED FORCES LEAVE GREECE French and 7iritish Troops Have All Been Withdrawn. A despatch from Athens says;— Withdrawal of the allied forces from Old Greecey.Thessaly and Epirus in accordance with the decision of the Balkan conference at Paris is being rapidly carried out. The 'withdrawal from Corinth and other occupied points was previously executed: The Italians are similarly preparing to leave Janina and other sections of Piraeus, retaining only a small tri- angle near Avlona, in Albania. The unanimity of the allied action is a source of satisfaction, as the Italian aspiration desired a wider field, but yielded in the interest of the united action to withdraw all and leave Greece to the Greeks. Preparations are under way to call out the classes of 1916 and 1917, ag- gregating 60,000 men. The Greek Government is highly gratified at the result as showing.the allies are recog- nizing the territorial integrity of Greece. 291 HUN PLANES SHOT DOWN IN JULY British Bagged 247 of This Total —Belgian Record is 9. A despatch from London says: Ac- cording to the official communiques 420 aeroplanes were lost on the west- ern front in July. The Times admits that the figures areinexact, owing to the variations in Preach and German methods of announcement. Four hun- dred and twenty is the third highest total of the war, compared'with 392 in June, 718 in May and 717 hi April, Of the 420 no less than 291 were Ger- man and 129 allies (89 British). It is right to say the British figures of 89 are probably incomplete. Of the Ger- Fr man 291 the British bagged 247, the $3 French 35, and the Belgians 9. This is a Belgian record.

A despatch from Petrograd says:— The beginning of a partial offensive by the Russians in Galicia in the direc- tion of Trembowla is announced by the War Office, A hostile position was carried in this movement,, 'Southwest of Kimpolung, towards the southern end of the fighting lihe, the Russians were forced back some- what in the region of .Negrey. They were also compelled to retire to some extent to the east of Gerement, be- tween the Dniester and Pruth region. The statement says the Russians suffered great losses when they were forced to retire across the Zborcz, Germany Loses in Asia. Germany has another enemy. Siam has declared war against her and her ally Austria. The military importance of the declaration ' may ..not be so great;'the peace strength of the Siam- ese army is only 12,000 men. But the utter failure of Germany to promote dissentions in the East favorable to German ambitions is emphasized by it, Siam has had grievances against the French. A quarter of a century ago a French fleet at Bangkok brought to terms the Siamese and compelled the cession of Cambodia, More recently territory was ceded to France and to Great Britain, .But the territorial in- tegrity of the country has been guar- anteed by both Powers, and their in- fluence has been exerted to promote its development. If German intrigue has been busy there, they have been able to defeat its purpose. In other words, German ambitions in Asia will not be realized. The loyalty of India to the British Crown was one evidence of that. Chang Hsun's failure in China is another. Now comes Siam to say that it is more willing to trust the Allies than Germany. No more than in South America, will there be any Teutonic expansion in Asia. LOSSES FROM SUBMARINES , AGAIN SHOW FALLING OFF A despatch from London says:— Some falling off in the loss of British merchantmen by submarines is noted in the official summary just issued, Eighteen British vessels of more than 1,600 tons, were sunk by submarines or mines fast week. Three vessels under 1,600 tons were sunk, while no fishing vessels were lost. Credit Extension Now $1,400,000,000. A despatch from Washington says: —A further extension of credit has been made to Great Britain and France by this Government, The amount advanced to Great Britain was $185,000,000, and the allowance to once was 8160,000,000, a total of 45,000,000, leaving a balance yet `o be granted of ,.$55,000,000 of the re- gular program of $400,000,000 a month to be advanced to the ally Govern- ments. The total thus far given to Great Britain is now, including to- day's amount, $955,000,000, and that to France $530,000,000, ON FOOD PACKAGES.

THE FIRST AERIAL DUEL. ought in Paris in 1808 and Witness- ed by Thousands. In these.days when aerial duels e of almost hourly occurrence it ay be interesting to recall the cir- mstances of the first conflict of this ature. This combat, which was the stilt of a quarrel between two Paris - 11S, M. De 'Grandpre and M. Le que, over u lady engaged at the Im- rial Opera, was fought in 1808. The two rivals, having agreed to se their respective differences by duel, decided that the . fight should aka place in the air. Two balloons ere constructed,. identical in every,. tail; and on the appointed day andpre and, his second entered the' r of one balloon and Le Pique the Cher. The scene of the ascent was e Garden of the Tuilleries and thou= nds of spectators journeyed from all its of Paris to witness so novel an ent. The rivals had. agreed to fire each other's balloon, with the ideac bringing it to earth by escape of s. When the balloons were' some eighty yards apart and about half a mile from the surface a signal to be- gin firing was given. M. De Graridpre sent a ball: through Le Pique's balloon, which collapsed with such frightful rapidity that Le, Pique and his second were dashed to pieces. Be Grandpre, however, continued his ascent, and terminated his voyage at a spot some twenty-one miles from Paris. Registry Book of Dundee.
