PROOF OF GERMAN CLAIMS LIE.. • Leaden Cable—(Canadian Press despatch from Reuters, Limited) — Semi-officiel proof that the Germans had not intended to evacuate the St. • efijeete galient is that they did not fol- low the usual practice of removing the able-bodied population and de- stroying ;the towns. The Franco- Anterlean attack was so swift that St. Mihiel Was found intact, and the troops had the happiness of seeing the enthusiastic inhabitants run to wel- come them. The important towns of Verdun, Commercy, Toul and Nan - ere no longer menaced. It will be surprising if the victory has not fur- ther iMportant consequences. FRANCE IS DELIGHTED. Paris Cable says—The American army's maiden effort as an independ- ent force in the world war is regarded by the French press aud public as nothing less than a master stroke. The further details that have came through, showing the extent of the groped gained, and the great number of prisoners taken In two days on a relatively small front, have more than borne out the early expectations, and caused the operation to be viewed in this light. "The American army has gained a genuine victoryat high speed," says Col. De Thomasson, the military critic who pays tribute to the American staff and troops for their having in such a brief time attained the high standard of efficiency they have dis- played. To say that last aighes American repere revealed an achieve- ment far in excess of what had been expected, is no diesparagement of the American armvi but the moral effect in France seems in consequence of this to measure well up with the military results attained. In general, the, military commentat- ors prefer to reserve judgment of the fell effects or the offensive until more ample details are available, and they are able to see the trend the op- erations are likely to take.

London, Ont., Report—First-hand stories of the brutal bombing of the Canadian hospitals et Etapies and Toulom 'Prance, in -Which many Lon- don and Western Ontario nursing sis- ters and soldiers were murdered be German airmen, were narrated to- night by Bishop M, F. Fallon, of the Roman -Catholic Diocese of London, at St. Peter's Parish Hall. Having condemned what he charac- terized as the slowness and the slack- ness of the English system, which fail- ed to let the world know of what the Huns with cold-blooded deliberation had done, his Lordship told his story. He stated that he had heard before go- ing to the frout stories of atrocities, some of which he had not believed. He had been told that little beat had had their hands cue Orr, and felt that proof was lacking. But, he declared, Major- Generel Sir Arthur Currie, commander of the Canadians, told him, "I saw it," and the general added solemnly: "The war will never end, so far as .1 am concerned, until tho Germans are given•a taste of war on German soil," Turning to Ireland the Bishop indi- cated that he had made clear to all he came in contact with in England' what his views on Home Rule aro. "You perhaps thought I would say something on Ireland," ho said. "I will, and I might say more. I be- lieve in self-government within the British Empire without exception. That's the kind of an Imperialist I am. I believe in Home Rule for In- dia when she wants it, and much A heard of that subject now. "I came across with the Prime Min- ister of New Zealand and the Minister of Finance, and I may say that it is no breach of confidence to tell you that they would not be long enduring a government that did not grant them Home Rule. , 'Me I make myself clear?" he asked, "because if -I don't I did elsewhere. If Home Rule is not good for Ireland it is not good for Canada, but if it has made Canada prosperous, contented and loyal,. then it should be a boon or a right to be conferred upon Ireland. "But they don't understand the Irish over there. They don't realize that thirs is only one way, and that is the way of justice and eight, and until they do, this political fabric to which 1 have been endeared for a quarter of a century is reefing upon a danger- ous foundation. Nor must it be per- mitted to be said that a man's relige ion has anything to ,do with what government shall be granted him. I said so in England publicly and priv- ately." The Bishop stated. that on a certain Sunday afternoon he was call- ed upon to address a large meeting of Catholics and Protestants. Tleare he voiced the longing that some "wise and broadminded men would give a lit- tle island not far away" self-govern- ment. At the suggestion he said the concurse rose iwith a burst of applause which made him realize that these mon, and the mass of the English people, axe not alone willing, but "de- termined that the victory that was won by constitutional methods shall not be denied for reasons not given." Concluding, he niade an appeal on behalf of the Kniglits of Columbus army hut campaign. 4e ,Ohildish Deductions. Mary and her little brother, 131111e were standing. In the parlor of a, big hotel.

The town of St. Meael was prate ecally undamaged, and moat of the villages were loft in good condition. The Germane left the railroad from Verdun to Commercy, Toul and Nancy intact, and this road will prove a great help to the Entente Allies. Another valuable line of rail from Tliiaucourt to St. Mihiel, by which the Germans fed their troope in the ealient, also was left intact.

A more complete success could hardly have been obtained, and the double objec- tives were reacned well in advance Of the expected hour. The enemy had probauly determined, in view• of the pressure applied, to accept a stralgatening 01 his line here, as he had done further west; but if that really was his intention, he lost a surprising number of men. Apart from any thatemay have been taken at the apex and on the western aide ,of the salient, those that fell to the southern attack greatly exceeded ex- pectations. 1' ram one o'clock in the morning the sky blazed with the light of the great artillery battle, something which had not been seen for months on this part of the line. When the troops went over what daylight there should have been was obscured by the driving mist and rain.

The Am - . • 12 ese. erican troops exhibited splendid dash, some of the regiments moving to the assault with flags flying -and singing the "Marseillaise." One of the principal points of sup- port in the enemy's defence was taken at :the point of the bayonet. Despite fierce resistance theGermans were completely overthrown and suf- fered under exceptionally heavy losses, The American units co-operated splendidly with the French. One Am- erican officer who was wounded dur- ing the hottest part of the battle re- lates that a small French detachment found itself in difficulties in a wood full of machine guns. Without waiting for orders the Am- ericans advanced spontaneously to turn the position, and reaching the rear of the wood precipitated them- selves -on the enemy and slaughtered the gunners on their weapons.

Glass was first manufactured in Amer- ica by the people of Jamestown, Va., during tlie year 1615. Commenting on this fact, John Smith lamented that "the lab- orof the colonyhas been misdliected in the manufacture of ashes, soap, glass and tar, in which they could by no means compete with Sweden or Russia." The inhabitants of Jamestown did not agree with this view, however, and soon afterward commenced the erection of a glass works, the completion of which was interrupted by the Indian massacre of 1622. Tho first glass factory In North America to attempt the industry on an ambitious scale was built in 1780 at Temple, N. 11., by Robert Hewes of Borton. The workmen, 32 in number, were Ger- man deserters from the British army. The carelessness of a workman caused the destruction of the plant by fire In 1781. In 1893 a glass factory was estab- lished in Boston and since that time the industry has flout ished.—Exchange. • 1 1, HUN OFFICERS CRITICISED THE ARMY LEADERS Las Wellington IP/itod 14-0044,100. wait otttai, comPir., conr, tlita:P71144 siligittro4P= • !AUX; MRCP& 4$ kveogiot cill417 RITOHIll 0, 0001114, 1 A004,1 100008,11 Oselo Dudley .1-19imes I UARI*TM, souoiTook.on% wow Moyer :114,9" Vitashomio R.

WORK OF THE AIRMEN, Exceptional assistance - has been given by the aviation forces, both American and French. Planes of pursuit groups attacked successfully convoys and troop, on the road, and even operated offensively against troops ein formation. Flying low, they used their machine guns with deadly effect on the lines of infantry, in some instances calming them to break. ne o aviator saw two men attempt- ing to extricate come artillery horses. He swooped down and attacked them with his machine gun, killing one and driving the other to seek refuge in a dugout, The, flier circled about the • dugout, preventing the man's escape until the infantry came up and cap-- tured him. In a majority of cases the prisoners put up comparatively little resistance before, surrendering. In many in- stances the detachment which had • escaped the barrage in their trenches • and dugouts made .a perfunctory re- sistance with their machine, guns, and then threw up their hands. A detaphment of about' 200 Germans at the foot of a little hill were ordered to charge the American's, who were advancing down the slope. The Arne- • leans were ordered by their captare to retreat. They did, but only over the brow of the, hill. .Here, lying flat, they awaited the rush of the Germans, and received their assailants with the bayonet. It was soon over. All the Germans wore either killed or captured. Tanks were used, but not to any great extent, the chief reason being that it. was unnecessary to call upon them. The, Germans in most cases retreated without waiting for the wiping -out machines to force them. • The rains that began shortly after the heavy berme°, that opened the battle have continuedat Intervale since. The narrow diet roads that lead from the main highway are now • deep in mud, and it is through there • and over fields in which wagons sink low that the, guns move, in a majority of cases drawn by automobile tractors. • It was through such fields • that the infantrymen slipped and waded in pule atilt of the retreating enemy.
