AVION, LAST DEFENCE OF LENS
Gave Up His Trenches Leading to Village Only Under Strong
Compulsion—Canadian Heavy Artillery Pounding
at Final Teuton Stand,
A despatch from the Canadian
1•Ieadquartors in . France, ,SAYS:—The
enemy clings tenaciously to Avoin.
Re gave up his trenches, which were
on a slope leading up to the viilage,:a
jittle over a quarter of a mile from the
/ . rat houses, only under strong cam-
ulsion. They +wefie dug, in chalk,
"nd our a)illery observers had no dif-
cuity in seeing the effect of every
s , hell dropped in them. His^new line
is immediately in front of the most
ivesterly rpw of houses in Avoin. It
s connectSd with cellars and dugouts
n the village, to which the occupants
can retire when heavily shelled.
Strong Canadian patrols were sent
out during last night alo?1g most of
_the front to learn something of the
conditions in this trench line, They
found it strongly held by the enemy,
and were unable to enter his defence.
Our heavy artillery has once more
taken up the work of destruetion
When the Avion line is rendered un-
tenable the defenders of Lens will
have but one shot in their locker. Be-
tween Avion and Lens there is a con-
siderable stretch of marsh land -along
the Souchez. This has been flooded
and wire entanglements have been
constructed on the eastern'side of the
flooded area.
North of the -river, during the night,
enemy posts were,raided by the Eng-
lish Midland•.troops and a number of
the enemy were killed and taken pris-
oners. There, as it is to the south,
the German new line is strongly held.

French, the British, the Belgian, the
Russian, the Portuguese and the Ital-

camp on French soil on Wednesday

HUN ARMY WEARS
SUITS OF PAPER
Evidence of Growing Straits of the
German Forces.
A despatch from London says:—
Striking evidence of the growing
straits of the German army, was.ob-
tained recently from captured prison-
ers. Their clothing excited curiosity
from its appearance, so it was analyz-
ed. It was discovered that the offi-
cers' are now wearing woven cloth of
leather fibre, and enlisted men uni-
forms of paper fibre. It is evident
such clothing is entirely unsuited to
the rigors of a winter campaign if the
war lasts that long.

$210,000,000.

Sumptuous Palaces Situated in the
"Village of the Czar."
"Travellers from Petrograd to
Tsarskoye-Selo have a journey of fit -
teen miles to the south over the old-'
est railroad in the Russian Empire,"
says a bulletin of the National Geo-
graphic Society. "The line which
connects the capitalcity with the
'Village of -the Tsar' (which is . the
meaning of the hyphenated name)
was constructed in' 1888. It runs
through levet country dotted with
fertile fields and rich pasture land.
"Tsarskoye-Selo has taken more-
than
orethan 200 years to attain a population
of 30,000. It was an insignificant
Finnish village when Peter the Great
assumed control of the mouth of the
River Neva. The monarch presented
the village to his royal consort, Cath-
erine I., and began the construction of
the Great Imperial Palace (usually
designated as the Old Palace, to dis-
tinguish it from the New Palace built
by Catherine' II. during the closing
years of her reign and of the eight-
eenth century). The edifice was com-
pleted just a year before Peter's
death, but it. was greatly beautified
by his daughter, Elizabeth Petrovna,
between 1747 and 1756.

to the mills to be "ahoddied" into
civilian clothing. Bayonet -steel will
be used as commercial "munitions."
Hutments will bo adapted to house
land workers until permanent houses
aro built. Even the "tanks" will be
used—as, in fact, some already have
been—as plough:tractors.

AIR ROUTE AROUND THE WORLD.
An All -British Line For 'Aircraft
Feasible After the War.
Lord Montagu of Beaulieu, lectur-1
ing in London recently, made striking
proposals for the regulation of the:
great air traffic which he is confident
will come about soon after the war.
t
The regulations would have e to be
strictly enforced by international:
agreements. Under his scheme cer
tain air levels would be limited to cer-
tain classes of•trafiic; the first 2,000,
feet eliould be prohibited to all traf-;
flc except to the owner of the soil or;
for purposes of landing, while the
lower altitudes should be used only
by machines with silenced engines;
the lowest flying level would bo re-
served for commercial planes, on the
ground that they want to operate as
cheaplyas possible. Above this would
be the level for general air traffic,
also silenced, while from 6,000 feet to
10,000 feet would be the stratum for,
official planes of each nation. These
would be used by naval, military and
civil forces and by the necessary air
policemen. Above 10,000 feet Lord
Montagu proposes the levels should
be internationalized and free to all,
provided pilots comply with the rules
for meeting and overtaking, etc., and
that their craft be .passed upon as.
airworthy. An aircraft desiring to
leave its own levels would use its
wireless to ask permission from the
national or international flying au-
theritie'e. The British Empire, he re-
marked, was In a peculiarly favorable
position, for its widely -separated pos.
sessions enable British airmen to pro-
ceed around the world over land and
son without asking eonee5s1ons from
any nation,
