Incredible meantities of this new weapon are be- ing used by General Brussiloff, and its effect ie said,' to surpass everything witneesed irithe war thus far.

A despatch from Paris says: The greatest interest has been roused here by Bonar Law's statement bo 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 the 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 the psycholo- gical moment, and they have scouted the anti-British rumors as idle or ma- licious gossip. Bonar Law's statement will go far to reassure them. LLOYD GEORGE CHOSEN TO SUCCEED KITCHENER. 1 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 officesewill not be combine'd, in which case it will be necessary to appoint another Minister of Muni- tions." • NO MORE GERMANS ON LONDON EXCHANGE.

A.US1RIAN LOSSES NUMBER 300,000 Original Austrian Force Has Been Reduced to 300,000. 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 successes won by Generals- Brussiloff and Letchitsky is by no means complebe. 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- establishment of contact with the Teutons along the whole south -west - 909 front, but attention is chiefly centred upon the operations for Kovel, Vladimir-Volynski, Czernowitz and KolOmea. Shumsy, summar- izing the results of the fighting', makes the deduction from the latest Russian official statement that the en- tire line of the Stripa is now occu- pied by the Rusetans. The precipitancy of the retreat of the Austrians in many sectors is shown -by the fact that the Russians found several telegraphic and tele- phonic installations intact, and are now using them. The cartridges cap- tured in the Stripa trenches would have sufficed for the use of the Aus- trians in the most intensive sort of firing for several weeks. NEW RUSSIAN SHELL ACME OF DESTRUCTIVENESS. A despatch from. London says: The Morning Post has bhe following from Petrograd: The Russian artillery has been magnificent throughout this war, but on the present occasion it has exceeded its own highest records. Tha effect 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 shouldstudge it admits of no effective defensive reply. The Universities of Russia have been ibusily employed for twelve months 1 past vying with one another 'in search for some superlative form of effective shell. GERMAN LOSS AT VERDUN DURING FIVE moNnis. 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 approai- ' mately 780,000 men ether completely or partially "demolished." , These are the losses for the five months since ' the Verdun battles have been raging.
