London, July 22. -In France, in the region between Soissons and Rheims, the French have again given an exhi- bition of their tenacious ability at de- fence. Despite the heavy losses they had thus far sustained in their at- tacks along the Chemin-des-Dames in France, the Germans again Sunday made fruitless efforts to defeat Gen- eral Petain's forces, delivering at va- rious point. attacks with large effec- tives, among whom were fresh rein- forcements. From Epine de Chevregny to the south of Corency, approximate- ly 12 miles, the artillery of the Crown vow Prince pounded the French positions mercilessly in the early morning, after which the leash was slipped from the infantry, which attacked on several sectors, only to meet with a galling fire from the French rifles and ma- chine guns. Often the opposing troops came into hand-to-hand encounters. Several times the Germans reached Casemates plateau, but each time were driven back, suffering enormous casualties. Only at one point, on the Californie plateau, were ',they able to gain a footing, and here the position is still -in dispute in a stubborn battle for supremacy. PETROGRAD RIOTS CAUSED BY HUN Kerensky, the New Premier, Ap- peals to People to Support Government. Petrograd, July 22. -The recent dis- turbances in Petrograd were instigat- ed by agents of the German Govern- ment, says Premier Kerensky, in a message to the sailors at Revel, Hel- singfors, and other ports. The new Premier appeals to all Democrats to stand by the Provisional Government. The Premier's message is an order of the day to the army and navy, di- recting: First -The disso;ution of the Cen- trai'Committee of the Baltic fleet and the election of a new committee. Second -The issue of a notification to all detachments of the ships of the Baltic fleet that "I desire them to re- move at once all persons suspected of inciting to insubordination against the Provisional Government and against our offensive and to send these in- dividuals to Petrograd for trial." Zhird-Detachments of Kronstadt and of the battleships Petropavlovsk, Republic and Slava, the names of which have been disgraced by the ac- tions of counter-revolutionists, shall arrest. within 24 hours the ringleaders and send them to Petrograd for trail thus. ;'giving assal:apee of :. complete o,tae',role t BRITISH ADVANCE IN MESOPOTAMIA Inflicted Loss on Turks and Travelled 12 Miles Up Euph- rates in 10 Days. A despatch from London says: -An official report relating to the Mes- opotamian campaign shows a consid- erable British advance. The report reads: - "On July 11 one of our columns en- gaged a Turkish force in the direc- tion of Remedies, on the Euphrates. After a short action, in which con- siderable loss was inflicted on the Turks, a further advance was broken off by us owing to the extreme heat. As a result of these operations we have been able to advance about 12 miles up the Euphrates in, the last ten days."

NEW GERMAN CHANCELLOR SAYS WAR WAS FORCED UPON THEM Dr. Michaelis in His Inaugural Address to the Reichstag Declared That Submarine Campaign is a Lawful Measure. A despatch from Copenhagen says: Dr. Michaelis, the new Imperial Ger- man Chancellor, in his address to the Reichstag Thursday afternoon, de- clared his adhesion to Germany's sub- marine campaign, asserting it to be a lawful measure, justifiably adopted for shortening the war, Dr. Michaelis opened his Reichstag speech with a hearty tribute to Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the retiring Imperial Chancellor, whose work, he said, history would appreciate. The Chancellor declared that the war was forced upon unwilling Ger- many by the Russian mobilization, and that the submarine war was also forced upon Germany by Great Britain's illegal blockade -starvation war. The faint hope that America, at the head of the neutrals, would check Great Britain's illegality was vain, Germany's final attempt to avoid the extremity by a peace offer failed, and the submarine campaign was adopted, said the Chancellor. The submarines, the speaker con- tinued, had done all and more than had been expected, and the false pro- phets who had predicted `the end of the war at a definite time had done a disservice to the Fatherland.

CANADIAN CAVALRY DO GOOD WORK AT FRONT. London, July 22. -From an officer on leave I learn that the Canadian cavalry brigade has been on the line with the Imperials three months, and in recognition of the good work done have been graded first in efficiency for that division, which division has top place for efficiency of corps. In fact, when anything is doing with cavalry, it is likely that the Fort Garry Horse, Strathcona's and their colleagues will be heard of. BRITISH BLOCKADE TROUBLES HOLLAND A despatch from The Hague says:- The ays:The question of the new British dan- ger zone has assumed a serious aspect so far as Dutch shipping is concern- ed. It is now obvious that unless the German Government is willing to change the so-called safety channel farther west, that is nearer the Ger- man coast, Dutch overseas shipping will be at a complete standstill, as is the case at present. The Dutch Gov- ernment has approached Germany on this question, and is expecting an answer shortly. DISUNION IN RUSSIAN 'ARMY Is Cause of German Success in Eastern Galicia. A despatch from London says: - Disaffection among Russian troops has resulted in an important gain of ground by the Germans and Austrians in the region of Zlochoff, east of Lem- berg, the Galician capital, Persistent German attacks at first were repulsed by the Russians. Later a Russian regiment near the centre of the line voluntarily left its trenches and retired, forcing the other units on the line to fall back. This movement, Petrograd says, gave the Germans op- portunity for developing their move- ment. Some Russian troops are re- ported to have refused to obey their commanders under the influence of the extremists who brought about the recent disorders in the Russian capi- tal. Prince Leopold led the Austro - German advance in person, and his troops, Berlin says, occupied three zones of defence and captured "a few thousand" prisoners, North-west of Halicz the Russians have evacuated Bludnfki. Near Brze- zany, between Halicz and Zlochoff, the Russians have repulsed German efforts. A Russian offensive move- ment ovement near Novice, south of Kalusz., brought no important gain, BRITISH PRICES LARGELY REDUCED Food Controller, Baron Rhondda, Takes Steps to Reduce the Profits of Middlemen. A despatch from London says; - A reduction of 26 per cent, in the price of bread at an early date was • an- nounced by Baron Rhondda, Food Con- troller. A graduated reduction in the price of meat for the army and civil- ians, which, by January, will mean a 30 per cent. decrease from the amount now paid, also was announced. In discussing these reductions with the Associated Press, Baron Rhondda said: "Steps have been taken to control the profits of butchers and others in a manner to ensure that the benefit will accrue to the. consumer.

A despatch from Canadian = Army Headquarters says: Early on Friday morning Canadian troops holding the front between Avian and Lens in the flooded area established a post well to the north of any hitherto occupied. There was little retaliation from the Germans. The new post is only 1,500 yards from the heart of Lens. The German defence of Lens is Worthy ofa better cause. As our pa- trols push forward through the mass. of crumbling rubbish which now marks the . site of one of France's greatest pre-war industrial communi- ties evidence is found everywhere that the enemy intends to hold the centre of the city until his losses become un- endurable. The front line is marked by rows of houses that have been pulled down to add by their debris to the strength of the cellars wherein the Germans shelter from the incessant artillery fire directed against them. Wire en- DR. BECK tanglements have been constructed around these houses, so that each is a self-contained strong point with a sub- terranean exit in the rear for its gar- rison. Provided with good machine- gun emplacements houses so fortified prove a hard nut to crack, and there are now thousands of such houses in the Lens salient. :t D actor .: ins The P *golfs?

A Free Prescription You Can Bove Filled and Use at Home. New York. -Dr, Beck, a New York state eye specialist, and Dr. Judkins, a Massa- chusetts physician, were asked to matte a thorough test of the pole;' ;r eye remedy, Bon Opto. Their reports were most inter- esting, here they are; Dr. Beck reports, "When my attention was first called to the wonderful eye rem- edy, Bon Opto I was inclined to be skepti cal, I make it a rule to test every nave treatment which is brought to my attention, Having specialized in eye work for the past twenty years, I believe I tun qualified to express an intelligent opinion on remedies applicable to the eyes. Since Bou Opto bas created se Cil a 5elleatien throughout g out the United States and Canada, I welcomed the opportunity to test it, I began to use it in my practice 'a little over a year ago and I am frank to say that the results obtained are such that I hesitate to tell of my ex- perience for fear it will sound incredible, Soule of the results I have accomplished with lion Opto not only astonished myself but also other physicians with whom I have talked about it, I have bad nnany individ- ualsi who hadit nor glasses for years for fur -sightedness, near-sightedness, astigma- tism and other eye weaknesses, tell mo the have dispensed with thew, through the adoj . tion of the Bon Opto principal. Many eye troubles can be traced directly to nnasoulnr contraction andrelaxation and since Bon Opto method tells how to exercise and de- velop the eyo muscles, it retches conditions not possible through other sneans.3 advise every thoughtful physician to study Ilan O ito principal, give it the same careful trial I have and there is no doubt in m mind they will conte to toe conclusion I have, namely, that the Bon Opto method opens the door for the cure of many eye troubles which have heretofore been impos- sihle to cope' with, „ilio treatment is so simple in its ;application that It can he used at home by anyone of average intelligence. In my own practice X have seenit strengthen the eyesight more than 60 per cent in one week's time. I have also used it with sur- prising effect in cases of work strained eyes, pink eye, inflammed lids, catarrhal con- junetivltes, smarting, painful, aching, itch- ing eyes, eyes weakened from colds, smoke, pun, dust and wind, watery eyes, blurred vision, and in fact many other conditions too numerous to describe in this report. A I ew and startling case has just come under iy observation, which yielded to Bon Opto, i that of a young girl, 12 years old. Two prominent eyo specialists, after a thorough examination of the young girl decided in order to save the sight of her right eye,'the left eye must be removed. Before permit- ting her to be operated on, the young girl's father decided to use Bon Opto. In less than three days a marked improvement was noticed. .d.t the end of a week the inflam- mation had almost disappeared, and at the e d of six weeks the eye was saved. Just t link what the saving of that eye means to t is little girl. Another case is that of a I dy ninety-three years old, She came to Me with dull vision and extreme inflamma- tion of the lids and the conjunctiva was al - n ost rine'. After two weeks' use of Bon 0 to the lids were absolutely normal and h r eyes aro as bright as many a girl of sateen." foDr, Judkins, Massachusetts physician, rmerly Chief of Clinics he the Union Gen- eral Hospital, Boston Mass„ and formerly House Surgeon at the New England Eye and E,$r Infirmary of Portland, Maine, and medical author for many years, reports: "1 bave found oculists too prone to oper- ate and opticians too willing to prescribe glasses while neglecting the simple formu- las which form tho basis of that }}wonderful home treatment for eye troubles, Bon Opto. This in my opinion, is a remarkable rem- edy for the cure and prevention of many eye di3orders. Its success in developing and strengthening the eyesight will soon make eye glasses old fashioned and the form oY eye baths which the ]ion Opto method pro- vides, will make its use as common as that of the tooth brush. I nm thoroughly con- vinced v cod f em my experience with Bon Opto that it will strengthen the eyesight at least 50 per cent in one week's time in many in- stances, Dr, W.
