A despatch from Petrograd says: Confidence prevails among Russian • observers of the offensive along the southern section of the battle line that the catalogue of the suecesses won by Generals Erussiloff and Letchitsky is b- no- raeans complete, It is estimated that the Teutonic losses along the front from the Pripet to the Rou' • manian border now total 300,000, or. nearly half the original effectives. • Great satisfaction is felt at the re- estnbli hment of contact with the • Teutoais along the whole south -west - !ern front, but attention is chiefly - centred upon the operations for Kove1, V1adi-'nir-Volynsid, Czernowita end Kolornea. Col. Sh',1msy, sumniar- „iziIila the results of the fighting, makes the deduction from the- latest Russian official statement that the en- tire line of the Stripais now oa:eu- i pied by the Russians. The precipitancy of the retreat of tato Aw trinns in, many sectors is shown by the fact that the Russians Pound several telegraphic and tele- phonic installations intact, and are naw using them. The cartridges cap- tured in the Stripa trenches would have sufficed for the use .of true Aus- trians in the most intensive sort of •fi firing for several week, ._.. • .EW RUSSIAN SWELL ACME OF DESTRUCTIVENESS.

A despatch from Loudon trays: The t Morning• Post has the following from Petrograd: The Russian artillery has been magnificent throughout this war, but on the present occasion it has exceeded its own highest records. The effeet upon the enemy Is terrify- ing and a general panic has usually ensued, for the Russians have invent- ed a new shell and have used ib in in- credible quantities. Its deadly re- sults are seen in the official bulletins, Nothing can be said, of course, about the nature of the new shell. From what I have heard I should judge it admits of no effective defensive reply. The Universities of Russia have been busily employed for twelve months past vying with one another in search for some superlative forma of effective shell, GERMAN LOSS AT RDUN DURING FIVE MONTHS. A despatch from Paris says: Fig- ures compiled from reports received by the French War Office state that the Germans since the beginning of the movement against Verdun have had thirty-nine divisions, or approxi- mately 780,000 men, ether completely or partially "demolished." These are the losses for the five:months since the Verdun battles have been raging.

A despatch from Paris says: The greatest interest has been „roused here by Bonar Law's statement to Le Matin that the British army is com- pletely in accord with Gen. Joffre and is prepared to move whenever the French Headquarters Staff sees fit. The statement finally nails bhe lie that the British are indifferent to the French losses before Verdun. The press expresses much satisfaction over Bonar Law's frank statement. From the outset the military author- ities here have insisted that it would be playing Germany's game for the British to move before thepsycholo- gical moment, and they have scouted the anti-British rumors as idle or ma- icious gossip. Bonar Law's statement will go far to reassure them.. NEW KIND OF SMELL EXPLAINS , SUCCESS OF -RUSSIAN 'OFFENSIVE Reports Differ as to Whether It is a lap Invention or Product of Russian Scientists.

The women then went to the house of the Burgomaster. aa, LLOYD GEORGE CHOSEN TO SUCCEED KITCHENER. A despatch from London says: The Morning Post's political correspondent says: "It has been decided that Mr. Lloyd George is to succeed Lord Kitchener as Secretary for War. There remains to be settled the rela- tions of the new Minister to the Muni- tions Department. It is probable that the two offices will not be combined, in which case it will be necessary to appoint another Minister of Muni- tions." TO IN PESTIGATE RISE IN PRICES IN BRITAIN. A despatch from London says: The Board of Trade has appointed a com- ! mittee headed by John MacKinnon Robertson, member for the Tyneside . Division of Northumberland, and in- cluding other members- of the House of Commons and economists, to in- vestigate the rise in the prices of com- modities and recommend remedial measures. A despatch from Calgary says: The Calgary School Board decided on 1 Tuesday night not to re-engage any members of its staff at the close of i their engagement, June 30th, who are unmarried, of recruitable age and without valid reasons for not enlist- ing. The Chairman of the board and the chief recruiting officer for the Province are to be judges of their eligibility. An Annoying Practice. Judge Campbell Flournoy, formerly of Kentucky but now of Washington, was making a horseback tour through the mountains of his state once upon a time, when a shaggy hillsman rode !down a creek and joined him. As they jogged along side by side, the native, after asking the stranger's name and business, volunteered some in£orma- tion touching upon himself, "I oughter be plowin' nay sawn," he said; "but I jest natchelly felt like I had to ride down to the county seat to -clay. Them pesky fellers down thar have -fotched up a lawsuit agin me and I gob to go see about it" "What's the lawsuit about?" inquir. ed the judge. "Hit's about my father -in -]acv. They fotched hit up agin me on account of my killin' him with a double-barrel shotgun here about two weeks- ago, That's the third lawsuit they've fetch- ed up agin me fur shootin' somebody; and I'm a-gettin' mighty tired of it," Next day when Judge Flournoy dropped into the courthouse he found the object of litigation on trial upon an indictment alleging murder in .the first degree: Just Like`- a M:an.` Hub -=Well, it ' takes two to make a quarrel, so' I'll shut up.
