THE WAR SITUATION
There is little to record from any
f the war fronts during the past
Weelo A conclusion' must not be
drawn from this, however, that hostil-
ities have ceased, Since the recent
big offensive, on the western front
both British and French- have been
carrying on a pounding, killing pro-
cess which never ceasea, Every min-
ute of the day the. great British guns
are hurling death and destruction into
the German. defences; day and night
squadrons of aviators Ily over the
German lines and drop their cargoes
of high explosives ontimportant posi-
tion& and continually small bodies` of
troops are raiding the German trench-,
es where they play havoc with the
enemy dugouts and gun emplacements
and send back prisoners. The Ger-
MAUS are given no .rest and the ter-
rible toll of death enacted from them
by the artillery and the de,struetion of
their war supplies thy shells and -
bombs are having their effect. The
German defence is still strong, but not
as strong as it was, and sooner or
later it must crumble, if the Allies
continue the mring down 'procese.
No human being can stand the gruell-
ing the German troops have been sub-
jected to for the past .four weeks,
and every British soldier knows it.
On. the Italian front there has been
Itilt in theifierce fighting of the past
few weeks. Several attempt% made,
by the Austrians to regain their lost
positions on. the 13aiinsizza Plateau,
have in every case met with defeat
and heavy loss and the Italians seem
to be firmly rooted in their new lines.
Recent despatches from the front hint
kat a mewed and even greater offenr
sive againet the Austrians in the near
future and it is quite within the
bounds of poseibility that Trieste will
bei in Italy's hands before winter.
The Russian reyloution haa petered
out, a Republic has been prealaim,ed
and former Premier Kerensky has
been appointed the first President and
he is now on the fighting line trying
to restore order and discipline among
the troops. The Russians have. re-
sumed fighting against the emans
in the Riga district which is a good
sign. The eastern front, however,
seems to be getting farther east
every day so that the Allies can hope
for very little help from that quarter
for some time to come.

The Late Samuel Sanders. - On
Sunday afternoon, September 9th, the
oldest pioneer resident of our yillage,,
in the person:of Mr, Samuel Sanders,
passed away at the age of 78 years, 8
months and, 11 days. Deceased had
been in .poor health for many years
but was able to attend to his- usual
duties until a few weeks before his
demise, which was caused by bron-
chitis, and from which of late he has
suffered nnich. Mr. Sandpits was
bore in Devonshire, England, in the
year 1838 and came to Canada with
his parents one and a half years later.
He was a son of the late William
SanderSsifirst postmaster of Exeter,
and for many years the deceased per-
formed the duties of the office- as as-
sistant 'postmaster. For several years
he was treasurer for the village of
Exeter and has been the agent for the
Great North Western Telegraph Com-
pany for over 48 years. He was a
staunch Conservative and an adherent
of James street Methodist church. It
may be truthfully said • that Exeter
has lost the 'iirand old man" whose
stemy is Exeter's history. He lived
to see the stump patch of his boyhood
days the business heart of this pro-
gressive and live town of Exeter. He
was a man of bread views and was
big of mind and shill, and the people
of Exeter and vicinity deeply deplore
the lose of one so widely known and
esteemed. Besides his wife he is sur-
vived by one daughter, Miss Mame, at
home, also one brother, Robert San-
ders of town. The funeral took
place to the Exeter cemetery on Tues-
day.
