Bavarian Troops Enter City of Warsaw in Name
of the Kaiser
-------------
A despatch from London says: The
Germans :are in possession of War-.
saw, capital of Poland, and the third
largest city in the Russian Empire.
Bavarian troops entered the city this
morning, having taken suceessively
the Monie lines and the outer and
inner, fortresses of the town itself,
the Russiaus only fighting rear -guard
actions to allow their main army to
hake good its escape,
According to a despatch front Pet-
rograd, the troops which were cover-
ing Warsaw retired without being at-
tacked towards the new front assign-
ed to them on the 'easta bank of the
Vistula. They blew up behind them
all the bridges over the river.
This victory undoubtedly has cost
the Teutonic allies an enofmous price,
hundreds of thousands of their finest
troops having fallen in the last few
Weeks of the campaign of Poland.
While to the Bavarians commanded
by Prince Leopold hasfallen the ho-
nor of taping over Warsaw in the
dame of the German Emperor and his
consort, who are expected tomake a
State entry within a few days, the
real conquerors .are the troops fight-
ing under Field Marshal von Hinden-
burg, along the Narew River to the
Berth -caste the Austro -Germans who
crossed the Viatuiw» to the south of
the city, and the armies of the Aus-
trian Archduke Joseph Ferdinand and
the German field marshal, von Mac-
kensen, which. are advancing north-
ward between the Vistula and Bug
Rivers.
Even now, although°the steadiness
of the Russian troops and their fierce
counter-attacks have gained reuelf
valuable time for them, it is proble-
matical whether the Whole .Russian
army will succeed in reaching the new
positions chosen for it or whether, if
it should get there, it will not And
those positions turned by the Aus-
trians, who have crossed the Bug
south-east of Chohn, and by the Ger-
mans, under General von Scholz and
von Gallwitz, who have crossed the
Narew.
At the north-eastern end of the line
the Russian communications are fur-
ther threatened by Gen. von Buelow,
who is advancing toward Dvinsk on.
the Vilna -Petrograd railway. Indeed,
the Austro -Germans have set three
traps to catch and destroy the Rus-
sian army. None of them was
sprung, but one was so near to clos-
ing that the Grand Duke Nicholas.
was forced to evacuate Warsaw and
now is fighting with all his might to
prevent the others from cutting off
his retreat. ,

strength will be heavy, and explain
Full Army Corps Soon Will Be
!!aiutained on the Flanders
Front.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
That Canada will have a full army
corps in the field to be commanded by
General Alderson, with Generals Cur-
rie and Turner in charge of the two
divisions composing it, is the under-
' standing in British military circles,
according to the statement of Hon.
Col. McBain, who was in Ottawa after
his return from the other side on offi-
cial business.
It is understood that the first divi-
sion, which is still in France in a
depleted condition after the St. Julien.
and Festubert fighting, will be
brought up to strength by reinforce-
ments, and with the second division,
which is still in England, will form an
army corps which is to take the field
the urgent present call for more re-
cruits.
According to Col. McBain, the allies
are making thorough preparations to
meet and repel another German offen-
sive in the west, where it is expected
very shortly.
That the Zeppelin menace has been
exploded and that the submarine peril
was if anything less of a danger than
when the paper blockade was inau
gurated, was Col. McBain's state-
ment. The British navy • was gener-
ally understood to be making good
progress on the undersea boats, he
said, and it was currently reported
that up to date fourteen of them had
been damaged.

A despatch from Amsterdam says:
According to the Echo Beige, the re-
call of Gen. von Bissing, the German
Governor of Belgium, has been de-
cided on by Emperor William.
TURK
SUBMARINE BASE DESTROYED
French Fleet Bombards and Destroys the Village
of Spelia
A despatch from Paris says: One
armored cruiser, two cruisers, torpedo
boats, dredgers and an aeroplane ship
of the French fleet demonstrated off
Sighadjik and Scala Nova, on the
coast of Anatolia. Sighadjik was
bombarded and the Customs house
and part of the fortifications destroy-
ed. An armored cruiser bombarded
the fortifications of the Turkish quar-
ter of Seala Nova and a fortified point
to the west of that town, while the
other ve sels of the squadron shelled
and destroyed the village of Spelia,
supposed to be a supply depot for
submarines of France's antagonists.
The following Russian official com-
munication concerning the operations
in the Caucasus says:
In the direction of Olti the Turks
have been expelled from the Norchine
region. Towards Sari Kamysh we
occupied after a fight the villages of
Alakilissa, Kars and Ardost. In the
region of Alschkert there was an ob-
stinate engagement.
Italy's Ultimatum to Turkey
A dc,ipatch from Rome says. The
tension between Italy- and Turkey is
declared here to becoming daily more
acute. Italy is said to have asked for.
categorical explanations concerning
Turkey's alleged refusal to withdraw
her troops from the Cyrenaica dis-
trict in Tripoli, and Turkey is pur-
suing what is described as her usual
policy of procrastination.
In official circles here the feeling
is held that hostilities on the part of
Italy may commence at any moment,
as Italy's last note to Turkey was al-
most of the character of an ultima-
tum. Two hundred and fifty thou-
sand men in the Provinces of Bari,
Foggia, and Lecce are said to be pre-
pared to sail from Brindisi on short
notice.
Notes to Take the Place of Gold
A despatch from London says,:
In view of the importanee of the
strengthening of the gold reserves
the Treasury has instructed the post -
office and all public departments mak-
ing cash pay'tnents to fuse notes in-
stead of gold whenever possible, says
,a Press Bureau announcement.
The public is earnestly requested in
the interests of the nation to co-oper-
ate with the Treasury •iti this policy
by paying all available gold to the
post -office and the banks, and in mak-
ing payments whenever possible in
checks and notes instead of in gold.

MARKS EPOCH IN GEORGIAN BAY'S HISTORY
Mr. W. H. Bennett, M.P., performs the opening ceremony of .the new lock at the western terminus of the
Georgian Bay and Treat River, Canal, at Port Severn. The Port Severn Lock is the first step in the
direction of the linking up of the Georgian Bay raid Lake Sin'tcoe waters by a navigable route. It
is of reinforced concrete, cost $150,000, and took two years to build. Thousands of people came in
from surrounding points in motor boats and yachts for the event.
FIVE DROWNED
• TRAPPED IN CAR

A despatch from Huntsville says:
A. terrible drowning accident occurred
at a small lake one mile west of Ut-
terson, in the Muskoka district, last
week, when five Toronto people lost
their lives and three others, two of
whom were boys, and a third, the
chauffeur, narrowly escaped.

Alley; Miss Elizabeth M. Lawson and
her two nephews, Douglas and. Angus
Lawson, and the two sons of Mr.
Charles Swabey, of » Toronto, and
Beverley and Harold Swabey, were all
guests at the Cliff House, Port Syd-
ney. They set out in an automobile
owned and driven by John Clarke, of
Utterson, to make a trip in the coun-
try. The lake just west of Utterson
is crossed by a floating bridge about.
200 yards long, and a- driving rain-
storm had just come up just as the.
automobile was crossing it. The car
when nearing the shore apparently
skidded to one side and crashed
through the railing, plunging : into 30_
feetof water. Clarke and the two
older boys, Harold Swabey and: Doug-
las
ouglas Lawson, managed to free them-
selves and reach the bridge, but the
other five were trapped in the car and
sank to the bottom of the lake.

GRANTED ALL DEMANDS
OF KRUPP WORKERS.
A despatch from Geneva says: Ad-
vices from Essen say that all the de-
mands of the employes of the Krupp
works have been granted, and "that a
serious strike has thus been averted.
The German military authorities
brought great pressure on the Krupp
administration to this end.
Many of the skilled workmen dur-
ing the early part of the troubles re-
fused e to continue at their machines;
some of them entered the army -- and
were sent to the Russian front. Others
in the ammunition department were
replaced by women. There was no
strike among the .' engineers and
draughtsmen. The serious situation,
which was admitted even by the
Frankfurter Zeitung, seems now to
have passed.
U. ' S. WILL CONTEST
THE DACIA DECISION.
A despatch from Washington says:
The announcement from Paris that a
French prize court had confirmed . the
seizure of the American steamer
Dacia as a fair prize found the State
Department preparing to protest, the
decision which carries with it for-
feiture of the vessel. It is planned to
make this a test case of the right of a
neutral country to grant registry to a
belligerent -owned merchant ship.

ATTITUDE OF ROUMANIA
IS WORRYING GERMANY.
A despatch from Berlin says: A
warning that nothing can be expect-
ed from Roumania is conveyed to the
readers of the Tages Zeitung in an
editorial by Count Ernst Reventlow.
His article, which is headed "Rou-
mania's Falling Quotation," sum-
marizes the situation in the following
paragraph:
"Those friendly relations with Rou-
mania made sacred by tradition and,
on the German side, by firm confi-
dence, can hardly longer be considered
as existing."
Count Reventlow points out Rou-
mania's refusal to permit exports of
grain or to permit ammunition for the
Turks to pass through its territory,
although Russia was permitted to
tranship munitions to Serbia. He
says it had been hoped Roumania
would fulfil its treaty obligations or
reserve at least an upright and well-
wishing neutrality, but that the con-
trary came to pass. Roumania's neu-
trality became "malevolent," he as-
serts, with a tendency to enter the
conflict on the side of German's en-
emies.

ITAUANS' GUNS
BLOW UP TRAIN
Cars Filled With Austrian. Troops en
Route to Rovereto
A despatch from London says;
Italian artillery fire struck a troop
train filled with Austrian soldiers go-
ing to Rovereto and completely
wrecked it. Five hundred troops
were burned to death: in the cars, and
15 miles of track were destroyed, In
addition eight wagons of ammunition
were exploded in. the same locality.
"At Polazzo eight attacks by the
Italians were repulsed, but: the ninth
attack resulted in the capture of sev-
eral miles of newly -constructed
trenches. The Italians have brought
up more heavy guns against Gorizia,
the systematic bombardment of which
has begun, The Austrians' are reply-
ing feebly."
The Italian army has resumed the
offensive in the region of Gorizia. A
heavy artillery fire was directed on
the Austrian positions on the plateau
of Deberdo, which was followed by an
"infantry attack.

EXPLAINS TO KAISER
WHY HE SURRENDERED.
A despatch from Berlina says: The
Emperor, it is officially, announced,
has received a despatch from Dr,
Seitz, Governor-General of German
South-west Africa, explaining his sur-
render to Gen. Louis Botha, early in
July. Dr. Seitz says further success-
ful resistance was impossible, as the
German colonial force was surround-
ed by enemies greatly superior in
numbers and cut off from, the base of
supplies. The condition of the horses,
for which no oats were available for
several months, he adds, rendered it
hopeless to attempt to break through
the enemy lines.
ALL ARE GIVEN CHANCE
TO SAVE THEIR LIVES. •
A despatch from Petrograd says:
A statement issued by the Admiralty
relative to operations in the Black
'Sea says:
"Our sailors destroy Turkish ves-
sels because they carry coal and pet-
rol, materials of war, but take every
measure to save the crews. The ves-
sels are cannonaded only whenthey
fail to halt after they are signaled.
In those cases where sailors prefer
to regain shore by swimming in order
to avoid capture they never are shot.
All who, surrender are taken aboard
warships and transported to Sebasto-
pol."
