The two main objectives of the Franco -British offensives in the Battle
of Flanders, which is expected to continue all winter. The attacks below
Ypres and towards Meninjighten the task of the Canadians before Lens,
and, in fact, threaten the whole Lille neighborhood. By the thrusts north
of Ypres and towards Roulers the German tenure of the whole Belgian

WIRELESS TELEPHONY
AROUND THE WORLD.

fessor Alexander Graham Bell, speak -
at a mass meeting held here, ter-

ing of the Bell Memorial.
The eminent inventor told of recent
experiments whereby scientists spoke
from Washington, p.c., to Paris,
France, by word of mouth, the con-
Versation being overheard in Hono-
lulu. .The result was achieved -by the
attachment of 'telephones to wireless

the world with neither wires nor bat-
teries, is lobked forward to in the very
near future by Professor Bell.

couraging Russia.
Great Britain was determined, he
said, to abide by its Russian ally and
assist her to consolidate her new-
found liberty. He paid tribute to the
valiant resistance of Rumania in a
period of exceptional difficulty and
trial, and assured the RumaniansPeo-
ple that Great Britain would not de-
sert them in the present crisis.

Traffic in Oleomargarine.
A despatch from Ottawa 'says: An
Order -in -Council has been passed
upon the recommendation of the Food
Controller allowing, on and after Nov.
14th, the manufacture and sale in
Canada of oleomargarine and its im-
portation free of duty. Suspension of
the prohibition of its manufacture,
import or_sale is a war measure only,
and will apply while the present ab-
normal conditions continue. The con-
clusion of such period is to be deter-
mined by the Governor -General -in -
Council.
The recommendation of the Food
Controller was made because the high
cost of production and the demand for
export were putting the price of but-
ter so high that many people were un-
able to purchase it. To reduce the -
price arbitrarily would have been un-
fair to the producer. The Food Con-
troller states that the dairy interests
will not suffer by reason of the sale
of oleomargarine in Canada.
U.S. Coal For Canada.
A despatch from Washington says:
Under a definite allotment of Ameri-
can coal for Canada, announced by
the fuel administration, about 2,000,-
000 tons of bituminous and -700,000
tons of anthracite will be permitted
to move across the Canadian border
during the next two months.
Apparently there is no safe place
in the world. A recent set of inter-
esting statistics shows a large per-
centage of deaths coming from ac-
cidents of children and also grown-ups
smothering in Led or falling out of
bed, breaking the neck or the back.
Therefore when you have washed your
youngsters and heard their prayers
and put them away for the night, don't
think that there is nothing more to
worry about until morning.

TflE BEST CARTOON OF .THE WEEK
Cracking Under the Strain.—Darling in New York Tribune.
WAR. LOSSES TO AUGUST 1, 1917.
Total is Greater Than That Of All
Important Modern Battles.
From the best figures available the
losses in the world war up to August
1, 1917, in killed, wounded and miss-
ing were 22,600,000. The tremendous
import of this appalling figure only
becomes manifest when reflected on
for a moment.
It would take months for 22,500,000
men to march by a given point lil the
usual line-up of a parade.
Compared ,to this terrible loss in
human material the losses of all pre-
vious -wars in the world's history fade
into insignificance. The armies of
Xerxes, of Alexander the Great, of
Hannibal and of Caesar were merely
miniature military expeditions com-
pared to the present war. In fact, a
single battle in this conflict has pro-
duced more loss of men than in whole
'ars heretofore, For example, the
losses in some of the big battles of
history Will be worthy of compari-
son:
Borodino—
Frenea....30,000 Russians ....40,000
Waterloo—
French.. .31,000 Allies ' 22,000

Plevna—
Russians.. 40,000 Turks 65,000
Gettysburg—
Union.....23,186 Confederate „31,621
In the Russo-Japanese War the loss
inflicted 'on the Russians was far
heavier than ever before. The esti-
mated Russian losses were 97,000 and
the Japanese between 40,000 and
50,000. And yet, taking the losses of
all the great battles thus enumerated,
the total does not equal the losses in-
cuared thus far -in this war.
AMUNDSEN DISCARDS
• GERMAN DECORATIONS.
A despatch from London says:
Captain Roald Amundsen, the noted
Norwegian explorer, went to the Ger-
man Legation at Christiania on Tues-
day, says Reuter's Christiania corre-
spondent, and returned to the German
Minister his German decorations as
"personal protest against the German
murder'of peaceful Norwegian sailors
on October 17 in the North Sea."
