THE WEEK'S DEVELOPMENTS IN THE WAR.
The Germans still continue to hammer away at the de+'euces of Verdun, but their progress is slow. Indeed
it would seem from the tactics adopted by General Joffre that some of the so-called successes obtained bythe
Germans are prepared for them by the French in order to lead them in well -set traps. On Friday night of last
week the Germans began a violent attack on the village of Vaux. There was a severe fight in which the enemy
lost heavily, and when the French gave up the position there was only a ruined village.
On Monday the French opened an attack on Vaux and recaptured it and on Tuesday the Germans starbed a
heavy artillery bombardment of the position. This was kept up for several hours, after which the German
infantry came up to the assault. The French had their machine ginis in position and their infantry well en-
trenched and kept up a constant fire on the advancing Germans. With great persistence these stuck to their
task and were mowed down by the heavy fire. Finally they withdrew from the attack.
But it would seem that the Germans prefer' now to make separate attacks on certain positions at one time
in plaice of a general attack on all the defences of the city. At the time they were being driven back from
their second advance against Vaux on the east side of the Meuse they made an attack on the French position
at Haueourt between Malancourt and Bethincourt. In this they were repulsed. Many .other small attacks
have been carried on through the week.
General Sir Percy Lake sent an important despatch to London on Wednesday • stating that early that morn-
ing he had attacked and captured a strongly fortified position of the Turks at Umm-el-Henna below Kut -el -
Amara. This news gives hope that the forces of General Townshend which have been shut up in Kut -el -Amara
since het December will soon be relieved, as -the captured position is the last really strong one between Sir
Percy Lake's forces and the beleaguered troops.
The Germans again made several air -raids over the Biatislh Isles during the week -end, and some consider-
able damage was done to human life, but no military damage was obtained. One of the Zeppelins was brought
down in the Thames and her crew captured.
Holland's action in rapidly mobilizing her army at the time she was having a dispute with Germany bas
caused the Kaiser'to withdraw some of his troops from other fields and station them along the Dutch border.
The frontier of Holland and Belgium also is being made ready for any attack on that part.
Ib would seem that the Germans are learning a lesson from their heavy losses around Verdun, for they
have somewhat changed their style of infantry attack. In the fighting on Tuesday last they advanced against
the French, not in serried ranks, but in extended formation, making short bounds forward in comparatively
small bodies as occasion offered. The French, however, have of late been attaining a superiority of fire, and
the Germans got to a position in the attack on Chauffour Wood near Douamont, within fifty yards of the
French. An assault was out of the question. Retireneent was equally out of the question, and the advanced
lines of Germans had to lie on the surface of the ground, oryin whatever trenches they ;could dig while lying, but
all the .time under an effective fire of musketry and shrapnel.

Germans Have Sacrificed Greatest
Force in Whole Range of
16, 1916.
A ts1atP
h from Toronto a say
s,
Prohibition will he put late fetes in
Ontario on September 16 nett. The
referendum on the prohibition will be
taken on the first Monday in June,
1019. This rneluhs the Province will
be "dry" until that date. The liquor
license oat now In force in the Peo-
vince will be repealed when the On-
• tario temperance eel; (prohibition)
goes into effect. If when the referen-
dum is taken the people vote against,
prohibition, present licenseholders
will probably get their licenses back,
but districts where local option is now
i in force will remain "dry." In other
words, the situation will be just, -as it
is at present. The Government is
considering the case of lieenseholders
who have long leases on their hands.
FREAKY MISSILES.
' Queer Shells That This War Has
Produced.
The tremendous shells which the
huge cannon of the Germans and al-
lies send through the air are not only
, missiles sent forth by the great guns
that have no parallels in history. Tho
gas shell, the weeping shell, the de-
pression shell, the sneezing shell and
the musical shell are all new with
this war and so freaky in their ac-
tions that civilizations would never
have droanied of them in former
years.
The gas shell explodes and scat-
ters poisonous gases about among the
soldiers, and a breath of it is enough
to kill a man. The weeping shells, or
lachrymatory shells, as the Germans
call them:, are fired with the object of
blurring the eyesight of the oppon-
ents. When the -shell bursts it makes
the tears of those about flow in great
quantities and prevents thein from
seeing the sights of their rifles. It
contains auninonia in high degree and
causes intense pain to the suffered.
The sneezing shell is much similar
to it and gives off a bluish vapor on
bursting, which causes the soldiers
near by to go into paroxysms of
sneezing, and of course prevents
them from using their weapons.
The air depression shell produces
many deaths. Troops exposed to the
violent change in the atmospheric
pressure brought about by this ex-
plosion suffer exactly as do'aeronaats
who, desceifd too rapidly or workmen
who suddenly come into the open air
after long inclosure in compressed
air chambers, the effect being to re-
lease the air and carbonic acid sus-
pended in the blood and transforming
them into bubbles of gas. These bub-
bles are driven by the action of the
heart into the capillary vessels, stop-
ping the circulation and causing in-
stant death.
The musical shell was used by the
Turks in the Dardanelles and consist-
ed of an ordinary shell with a small
iron ball attached to it by a chain,
this appendage causing a curious sing-
ing noise to be made as it flew through
the air.
Warfare.
A despatch from Paris says: 'The '
German losses before Verdun up to
;the present time have reached the
huge total of 200,000 men, one of the
greatest battle losses in the whole
range of warfare, according to esti-
mates made public here to -day from a
semi-official source -"the result of
careful enquiry made in the highest
quarters, in which the figures have
been rigorously checked and verified."
