FORWARD 300 TO 500 YARDS
Stuff and Regina Trenches Captured From the Germans and
Over 1,000 Prisoners Taken.
London Oct,. 22 General IIaig's
troops delivered a heavy stroke on the
German lines in the direction of Le
Sars in Picardy Saturday, advancing
on a three-mile front to a depth of
from 300 to 500 yards, and capturing
the Regina and Stuff trenches. The
whole of the objective was gained, Sir
Douglas Haig reports, and 1,018 pris-
oners were taken. The British casual-
ties were slight.
Twice during Sunday -in the morn-
ing and in the afternoon -the Ger-
mans launched violent attacks against '
the newly -won French positions in the
Chaulnes woods, south of the Somme
River, in France. Both attacks were
repulsed, the Germans suffering heavy
casualties, says Paris. Some of the at-
tackers in the morning offensive gain-
ed a foohhold in the French first line,
but were surrounded and the 150 sur-
vivor's made prisoner.
The following joint despatch dated
Saturday evening has been received
.from the British war correspondents'
headquarters in France:
"The past two days of blue skies
and hard cold winds has resulted in a
general drying of the ground in the
battle area, again permitting activity.
The British troops have already taken
advantage of the improvement.
"Shortly after noon to -day, follow-
ing a hurried bombardment an attack
was delivered along a front of about
5,000 yards, extending from north of
Mouquet Farm in the direction of Le
Sars. Our infantry advanced in fine
Istyle and the enemy, apparently sur-
prised, put up a comparatively small
show of resistance. A trench, which
the Germans had seemingly already
i found untenable, was occupied and
i various useful positions were secured.
Our casualties are said to have been
i very light.
"Schwaben redoubt has been the
scene of something pretty expensive
1 to the enemy. Yesterday morning the
! Germans delivered a counter-attack
against this work, to which they ap-
pear to attach much importance. Our
men employed bombs and rifle gren-
ades so vigorously that the foe never
reached the parapet, but was beaten
back, leaving a great number of dead
and wounded in the open.
"In the small hours of the morning
a stronger and more determined as-
sault was launched against the same
spot. On +his occasion the enemy
gained a footing in the redoubt, but
our men fought so fiercely that the
enemy was soon routed, leaving one
officer and 79 men in our hands.
"A feature of the past few days has
been the highly successful counter
battery work of our artillery, direct
hits having been made upon a large
number of the enemy guns and em-
placements. In view of the fact that
the Germans admit they are wearing
out their guns on the Somme front
more rapidly than they can be replac-
ed, this is eminently satisfactory.
SERB TROOPS VIENNA EDITOR
NEAR ZONAS T R , SLAYS PREMER
German Aid Reaches the Re-
treating Bulgarian
Forces.
London, Oct. 22. -The Serbian forces
which, having captured by long, hard
fighting the flanking mountain posi-
tions to the east, pushed down to the
plains and across the Cerna River, are
now advancing rapidly on Monastir.
In the river bend they have reached
the suburbs of the town of .Baiderztsi,
four miles north of Brod, and but 10
miles from Monastir. German troops
are now assisting the Bulgarians in an
attempt to check the advance of the
Serbians who forced a passage of the
Cerna River on the Macedonian front
south-east of Monastir and captured
several towns.
CANADA'S FIRST FARMER.
[sow an Apothecary From France
Tilled the Soil.
The first farrier settler in Canada
who lived on the produce of the soil
was Louis Hebert, an apothecary
from Paris, who landed in Quebec in
1617 with his wife and children, and
at once started to clear and cultivate
the soil on what is now the site of the
Cathedral of Quebec, the Seminary
and part of the Upper Town. With a
spade as his only tool he worked and
re -worked the soil until it was ready
to receive seed from France, planted
apple and rose trees, and at last saw
waving in the breeze the golden grain, 1
the flowers and fruits from his mo-
therland. The third centenary of the
landing of Louis Hebert will be cele- '
brated in Quebec in 1917, and a Citi-
zens' Committee has been formed to
erect a monument to the first farmer
of the Dominion.
Count Stuerghk, Prince Minis-
ter of Austria, Victim of
Assassin's Bullet.
Vienna, Oct. 22. - Count Karl
Stuerghk, Premier of Austria, was
shot and killed in a restaurant here
yesterday by Dr. Friedrich Adler, edi-
tor of the Socialist paper Der Kampf.
Three bullets were fired at the Pre-
mier by Adler; two of which lodged in
Count Stuerghk's head, killing him
instantly. The assassination of the
Austrian Premier, Count Karl
Stuerghk, was purely political, and
was induced by his refusal°to convene
Parliament, according to the admis-
sion of Dr. Friedrich Adler, his assist-
ant, shortly after his arrest.
GERMAN CRUISER TORPEDOED
BY BRITISH SUBMARINE.
London, Oct. 22.-A German light
cruiser has been torpedoed by a Brit-
ish submarine. The announcement
by the Admiralty reads: "A British
Isubmarine just returned` from the
I North Sea reports that she torpedoed
a German light cruiser of the Kolberg
class early Thursday morning. When
, last seen the cruiser was steaming
slowly in evident difficulties towards
German waters." °
TEUTONS RECOGNIZE
RUSSIAN READINESS
A wireless despatch from Berne to
London quotes the war correspondent
of the Vienna Zeit on the eastern front
as referring to improvement in the
Russian artillery as follows: "It
must be recognized that the advant-
ages enjoyed by our armies owing to
the Russian shortage of ammunition
are disappearing."
ROUN
INC UP T K y E FEW GERMANS
LEFT IN EAST AFRICAN COLONY
Remnant That Escaped Capture Are Penned in Malarial Swamp
and Must Soon Surrender.
A despatch from London says: In
a review of recent operations in Ger-
man East Africa the War Office an-
nounces that the Belgians operating
near Tabora, in the northern central
part of the colony, have inflicted a
further defeat on the Germans. In
the fighting from Sept. 18 to 22 the
surviving portion of the German
forces which had been defeated at Ta-
bora were routed.
Along the coast the British forces
under General Smuts are engaged in
clearing the country. A number of
small columns are carrying on this
work eouth-eaat of Dar -Es -Salaam
and north-west and west of Kilwa.
Gen. Smuts says hie troops have been
attempting to drive into the Rufiji
valyley German posts established
north and south of that region.
The remnant of the force defeated
by the Belgians was driven eastward
and southward, the Germans making
an attempt to effect a junction with
the main German body concentrated
in the Rufiji valley.
The bulk of the remaining German
forces, says the announcement, are
now confined in a limited area in the
south-eastern portion of the colony, of
which all the ports on the coast and
the main lines of approach are held by
the Entente forces. The entire Rufiji
valley and the Delta are unhealthy
and malarial to the highest degree,
and are declared likely to become un-
tenable after the advent of the "less-
er rains" during October.
'BRITAIN CAN BEAR
STRAIN OF THE
WAR
Chancellor McKenna Defends
'High Rate of Interest on
New Treasury Bonds.
A despatch from London, says:
Reginald McKenna, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, replying in the House of
Commons to erriticislns of the high rate
of interest•payable en the new Trea-
sury bonds and the objection raised
that this would lead to their being
largely held abroad, said:
"That is the very thing we desire..
It must be remembered that we had
to pay a very considerable amount
day by day in the United States. At
present we have to find 22,000,900 a
day for every working day. • That
means a prodigious amount to find
every six days."
Mr. McKenna prefaced his state-
ment, regarding the large amounts
being spent in America, by a defence
of his action in paying a high rate of
interest upon Treasury bonds.
"It is not possible," he said, "to ap-
ply pre-war standards and to say that
five per cent. is enough or that..ave
could get it more cheaply. Very like-
ly ib could be done if we only wanted
a little or even the equivalent. of
greatest sum ever raised before the
war; It should be remembered, how-
ever, we have to raise a maximum
sum about once a month, and it is only
possible to find out, by the daily ex-
amination of the results of borrowings
and payments, whether we are suc-
cessful in meeting our obligations. In
