which but added zest to the occasion.
THE WAR!
SITUATION.' g
After several Weeks of comparative
quiet on the western front, Gem Haig -
has again assumed the offensiva Thi:
time, however, the attack is beta
made in France,' considerably 'south
of their recent success -es at'Pasechen-
daele ftidge in Flanders., The new
attack ;s being made ever higher tt,ill-
ing groend; *very differeni, from; 'tne
Flanders, mud, and official . reports
claim it has been enanendy stacesst
fad, a large quantity of material and
many prisoners having been taken.
The attack came as a great surprise
to the Germans, as their part of the
line had been left pretty -much aone
since the spring offensivef
., and it is
supposed the, enemy had withdt ern
considerable nurabers of troops ilrom
the line and had sent them into Flan-
ders and Italy. - The British have, at)-
: parently. taken . advantage- - of this
withdrawal of troops, to deal a smash-
ing- blow, and have shown the Ger-
mans that the' dam. has passed when
they can with finippnity, shift their
troops from -point to paint, at least
on the western front.
On the Italiart front the Italian
troops are still tenacieusly holding
back the enemy end- preventing his
advancement On to the Venetian
plains. Several. times. the ,Germans
have .sueceeded in ci+ssing, the River
Piave, where the Itafiene Are melded
a stand, but each time `they. have ibeen
driven baek stath extremely heavy
t a
losses, the river banks being coyered
with German and Auetriaa dead. The
enen,y are reported to.' teem received
very heavy reinforeentents of 'both
men and guns, and are about to
launch a desperate attack in an en-
deavor to break -the Italian line. if
they are successful the I Italian's will
have to fall back on their second' line
of defencealready prepared for
them. bat such a withdrawal will
•
mean, in all !probability, the loss of,
the world faOted Italian city of Vea-
ice, which Ins already been partially
evacuated mid stripped of its trees -
tires, as s precautionary measure.. E -
ery day, however, that the Italians
hold the; Platte River line, makes t e'
&Tiger so much greater, for the PO
many, as the Allies already ' have
large reinforcements on the greyed
for Italt and are steadily increasing
them. It is already apparent that
the enemy 'can not overrun, Dela as
they did''Roininania, and although the
situatiop o ' this front, is still critical,
each da*'s fighting lends increased en-
couragekneiit to the Allies.
Therit'sh forces in Palestine un-
der Gen. Allenby, are now only 1
miles from; the city': of Jerusalem: an
its capture may be looked for at an
thne. The jeaptuee of this ancient cit
will beea blid, blow to German prettig
he the east. The failure' of the Irma
siorl of Egypt, the fall of Bagdad, an
the captur of Jerusalem Will go far
,
to, imprest upon ;the minds of thede
moralized i Turks the futility Of plac-
ing any future trust in the Kaiser and
hi' general staff. who had taken dv.er
7. I'
the direction of the campaign. -
German East Africa has been pret-
ty weld cleaned out by the British The -
pursuit "of the remaining. German for-
ces has resulted in the na,re of over \
1,000 priponers during the past few
days, • betides the capture of many
importer* positions,' while the last
heavy gun remaining to the Germans
in the c lony has been taken intact.
Owing t the character and climate
of the c ,untry, and the war prepare -
tions maide ty Germany, -Oie Africau
campaign has been a slew., tedious
and bard one, but the British have at
last acctoraplished a very' systematic:
.,
and thmlough clean up of the enemy.
In a potable :speech, before . the
I
House of, Commons' on Monday the
British Premier, Lloyd George, ex-
plained the reasons for the creation
of the Inter -Aired War COuncil which
will secure a eater unity of control
among the forces directing the Allied
campaign: H4 stated that the only
two causes which hitherto had stood
between the Allies and domplete vic-
tory had been the submarine danger
and the lack of 'union. He said that
the former had already been met, that
the British were already on its track
and that on Saturday last no less than
five German undersea boats had been
destroyed' in the one day,' and if the
Allies continued to. act. more closely -
in union under.the -new War CouriScil
he had no fear of victorY, under 'tha-
t --
latter cause. • ' f •

Address and Presentation. -- On
Wednesday evening of last week, the
friends and neighbors of Miss Murchie
gathered at her home to spend a soc-
ial evening before her departure to
her future home in Walton, where
she intends to make her home with.
her nephew, Mr. William Murray.
Miss MeMurchie's father was the first
postmaster in Winthrop and after his
death the duties were assumed by her
mother, so that for over 50 Years. the
name of Murchie has been a household
one in the township, and the departure
of Miss Murchie Will be a distinct loss
to the community and deeply re-
gretted by many friends. During the
evening an address was read by Mrs.
A. G. Calder and the presentation
of a handsome mantle.clock was made
by Mrs. Robert Scarlett, on behalf of
her friends, as a slight token of the
love and esteem in which she had been
held during her long residence in Win-
throp. After the presentation lunch
was served and a most pleasant and
enjoyable evening spent by all pre-
sent. The following; is- the address:
"To Miss Murchie, Winthrop,—We
hope you were not unduly alarmed by
