Three Machines Obsery ; i Passing Over Brockville
Headed for Capital
'A despatch from Ottawa says: It
was reported to Premier Borden at
eleven o'clock Sunday night that -
three or four aeroplanes had crossed
the St. Lawrence River from Mor-
ristown, N.Y., one of them drop-
ping a fire ball as they passed over
Brockville. When Laos seen the aero-
planes were dreaded in what was be-
lieved to be the direction of the.
capital.
Immediately on being apprised of
this news the Premier notified
Colonel A. P. Sherwood, Conan-is-
sioner of Dominion Police, who im-
mediately ordered the lights around
the Parliament Buildings extin-
guished, taking the same prec.au-
tions at Rideau Hall, the residence
of his Royal Highness the Duke of
Connaught. •

A despatch from London says:

Tire liussians, reinforced and hold-

series :rf fresh attacks, winos the tide
of battle sways backwards and for-
wards.. The .Russians were compel-
led at.the beginning to give ground
before the masses of the •enemy,
which swept down the Carpathian
p t .ees. The Russians, fighting dog-
gtdly, withdrew to the north from
K.impulung, and there on more suit-
abie ground, where the snow was
les; deep, they entrenched them-
seives and awaited the Austro -Ger-
man advance, By a well -tilled
counter-attack the Russians shat-
tered the enemy's lino at throe
points, compelling them to retire.
Snow n rtt nn sited he m. sg

the Russians are moving forward.
The colal is intense, the temperature
being 20 below zero, with 41 piercing
ice -laiden wind which smites and
slays. The terrible weather mildl-
y -ions add to the horrors of. warfare
in the valleys .and mountain passes,
the driving snow rendering it diffi-
cult to distinguish friend froin foe
at 100 ;yards' distance.
The enemy --succumbs to 'cold more
speedily than the Winter -seasoned
Siberian -troops. There is great
difficulty in rescuing the wounded.

soon ends; their sufferings, and
snow envelops them, becoming'at

later returned safely to thei..r base
without casualties to their drivers,'
although two of the mac:bine.s were;.
damaged. The raid was made in
order to prevent the development of
submarine bases and establishments
which might further endanger Bri-
tish warships and merchantmen.
AIthough no submarines were
seen the British Admiralty state
ment indicates that the raid had
satissfaetory results, for oonsider
able damage is said to have been
done to German gun positions, rail-
way lines and railway stetions. The
Ostend :station is reported to have
been set on fire, end that at Blan-
kenberghe to have been badly dam-
aged. German mine -sweeping ves-
sets at Zeebrugge also''eame in for
a hail of bombs, but the damage
clone to thein has not been stated.
At various points the airmen were
received by. -the Germans with fir-
ing from anti -aerial guns and
rifles. None of the airmen are re-
ported by the Admiralty to have
been wounded in these attacks.
One of t)he machines, driven by
Flight Commander Claude Gra-
hame -White, among the most intre-
pid of the British fliers, fell into the
sea while returning to its base after
the raid was over, and the aviator
had a narrow escape from drown--
i
ing. Fortunately for hint a cruiser
was nearby and picked him up, a,nd
then towed his aeroplane into port.

The shortage of skilled workers in
engineering and ship -building es-

an enquiry was opened by repre-
sentatives of the Government and

a Clermont Invasion
A despatch from London says:
After two days of debate, during
which many matters in connection
with the war were discussed, the
Douse of Commons on Wednesday
night passed without division the
army estimates for 3,000,000 men,
exclusive of India, and also by a
"token" vote, provided for the pay
of the officers and men. By this
vote the Government will receive a
blank cheque for this purpose.
Replying to points raised by m�en1-
berg of the House, Harold J. Ten-
nant, Parliamentary Under-Secre-
tary for. War, said, that in case of
a raid on England, Gen. Sir Ian
Hamilton was in .command of a mo-
bile force, whioll was ready to go
,anywhere at any time..
There was considerable discus-
sion of the question- of inoeu.lation
against disease, in reply to which
Mr. Tennant declared the sentiment
in favor of compulsory inoeulation
was increasing, and that the Gov-
ernment was considering adopting
it, Lord Kitchener, Secretary for
War felt Tfelt so strongly about the mat-
ter, Mr.. Tennant said, that he was
about to issue an order suspending
grants of leave to those persons
who declined to be inoculated.
The Under-Secretary added that
the suggestion that the War Office
should consent to the enlistment of
"bantam battalions" was being con-
sidered. In the mining districts, he
said, there were many men under
the regulation height, who desire to
serve in the army, and that some of
them already were in training.

A despatch from Ymuiden, Neth-

marines U-2 attempted to torpedo
the British steamer Laertes, which
arrived from Java. The vessel es-

steamer was flying the Dutch flag,
Captain Prophet was in command.
The attack on the Laertes was
made while the vessel was steaming
between the Meuse lightship and
Schouwen Banlc The submarine
fired. several ;shells, which ,damaged
the steamer's funnel, compass and
upper deck. As this did not induce
the captain to stop, the submarine
made an unsuccessful attempt to
torpedo the steamship.
The Laertes, when cher ie:)it,rsl by
the submarine, was proceeding with.
cut •showing lier nationality. When
asked to stop the vessel flew the
Dutch flag.
A despatch from Rotterdam says
there is reason to believe that the
submarine sank. She was last seen
in a cloud0 f steam.
The Laertes is one of the ,smaller
liners of the Ocean Company, a Bri-
tish corporation, plying between
Harwich .and Dutch ports. It; is
Supposed that the submarine en-
countered the liner oft' the Hook of
