The r house -bee a very remote feudal, and t even legendary, history, an early an- cestor being reputed to be descended from "Thor," who was reputed to be the son of "Odin." The family is sup- posed to be related to William the Conqueror, and members of it fre- quently intermarried with the Royal Scottish houses of Bruce and Stuart, Walter do LindsaY, an ancestor of Lord Crawford's'sat in the Scottish Parliament as a lord, in virtue of his estates. The first earl, who was known as the ninth Lord of Craw -ford,. ob- tained his earldom from King Rich- ard IL in the year 1398 as a reward for his "prowess in a passage of arms with Lord Weyles upon London brit18'0 before Ring ,Richard- II. and his Queen." The sixth earl fell, with so. ,many other Scottishnobles in the battle of Flocidert and the Six- teenth early fought on the Royalist side in the battle of Marston MOOT. Some idea of the high esteem in which the family held itself, and was held by others, may be -gathered from the fact that when King James IV of Scotland, in 1488, created the Earl of Crawford of that day, who was Lord High Admiral and Lord Justiciary of Scotland, Duke of Mont- rose, the earl didn't assume the title. He thought his dignity of such a de- gree that it was not in the power of any monarch to enhance it. His suc- cessors in the earldom took the same view, alike couple of hundred years later, the dukedom of Montrose was conferred upon the house of Graham, another ancient Scottish house, who hold it to -day. However, we live in other day The Earl of Crawford in the fifteent century would accept no title fee his king. The Earl of Crawford o to -day has wooed the suffrages o the electors, and very successful too, for he came triumphantly through seven elections in his House of Com- mons days. And as member of the present Cabinet is more simple and unaffected, and less "stuck on him- self" than he is. HOLDING OUT NOT EASY. Czar's Victorious Armies Within 58 Miles of Lemberg, With Railroad Connection. A despatch from Petrograd says: The Russians have occupied the im- portant railroad election of Brody, 68 miles north-east of Lemberg, in Ga- licia. They have 'also by another drive 60 miles away broken through the entire first line of the Teutonic allies west of Lutsk and driven the Austro -German forces from the line of the River Slonevka and Bolclu- rovIca, Southern Vollmnia, according to the official communication issued on Friday night by the War Office. Heavy casualties were inflicted on the Austro -Germans; over *9,000 men were made prisoner, two generals, and a largo number of guns were captured. Brody is a great railway junction, and it had been expected the Austrian would retain it at all cost, The swift- ness of this new Russian stroke was unexpected. The occupation of the town may have the effect of causing the entire Austrian line southward to - 'ward Tarnopol and BUCZaCZ, which has been held tenaciously in face of Russian attacks, to fall back. The fall of Brody is a serious threat to Lemberg, and the rapid and suc- cessful advance of Gen. Sakhavoffs forces menace the whole Austro -Ger- man line of communications from the north to the south. For the present Ravel yields in -importance to Lem- berg. The position of this portion of the Russian front seems to be that Golieral Kaledines, having driven Gen. von Linsingen's left wing behind the Stokhod River, has suspended his ad- vance towards Koval and is holding up the great Teutonic forces there while Gen.

Neither had he far to go nor long to wait before finding fresh employ - meet. Possibly he had prepared the way before cutting adrift from Russia, but in any case within less than a month of severing his service there he found himself a Field Marshal under Frederick the Great. Further, appre- ciating the kind of marehe had 'got hold of, Frederick made Keith Govern- or of Berlin at the then considerable salary of 81,600 per annum. From the first Keith succeeded to . the complete confidence of his new master, who always consulted him on , questions bearing alike on military and diplomatic seaffairs. During the critical period of the Seven Years' War he was so closely associated with the King that a record of his move- ments would amount to ,a detailed ac- count of the entire campaigns. Follow- ing varied fortunes and disasters to the Prussian arms came the crushing blow at Hochkirch. There, at break of day on the morning of October 14th, 1758, the weak Prussian wing under Keith was overwhelmed by vastly superior numbers of Austriane, and, valiantlynettempting to rally his men, tho marshal received two wounds, the second of which proved mortal.

In fact, his tact and genial- ity had not a little to do with keeping Mr. Balfour's Government, in the days when it was tottering to its fall, in office, When the war broke out the Earl, who is forty-five years old, went to the front as an ambulance bearer, enlisting as a private and sub. sequently attaining the rank of "Cor- poral Crawford."

A despatch from London says: One of the most furious battles of the war is being waged on the five -mile Pozieres-Longueval front, where the Britieh and Germans have been grip- ped in a bloody struggle for more than a week. The British eroops are con- tinuing to gain important ground against the most desperate resistance yet freed in any theatre. With their full weight of guns and with thous- ands of trained reinforcements the Germans are contesting' every inch of the blood-soaked territory. The Germans have been completely driven from the Delville wood, a for- est fortress behind the German third line of defence. The Bi•itish won the lase inch of ground in this vital posi- tion by a night attack. The wood was f e y Me famous Brandenburg In I corps, which has distinguished itself on every field from Warsaw to 'Ver- dun, and it was against these trained veterans that "Kitchener's army of clerks" scored its victory. Under cover of an artillaw fire so terrible that the German general staff make special comment moon it in ._ their official report, the British on Fri- day continued their onward swing, at - flicking the Teutons at Longueval, the fortified village which has seen wines of the heaviest fighting of the war. With the Germans already driven in from most of their outlying positions the British troops attacked the main defence works of the village, carrying several of the strongest, and obtaining complete control of the entire place, At the same time, on the opposite tip of the day's battle -front, the Brit- ish engaged the Germans in hand-to- hand fighting in the neighborhood of Pozieree. The final capture of Delville wood is very gratifying to the British peo- n ple. It was first taken July 17, hut was afterwards abandoned. For many days • the wood and the village of Langneval il have been the scene of some of the - heaviest fighting of the whole care- t paign. The possession of tbis wood - and of Longueval is expected to fa- t cilitate greatly the further progress of e the Franco -British forces. - BRITISH CAPTAIN MURDERED. • - Germans Take Commander's Life Without Giving a Pair Trial. A despatch from London says: News of the execution of Captain Fryatt of the British steamer Brussels caused a painful impression at the Foreign Office. Under the instruc- tions of Viscount Grey, the Foreign Secretary, a note was despatched im- mediately to the American Embassy requesting that James W. Gerard, the American Ambassador at 13orlin, pro- cure complete details of the affair. The -first intimation of the trial of Captain Freeitt was called to the at- tention of the Foreign Office by press reports on July 18 to the effect that he was to be tried as the result of finding on him a watch containing an inscription reciting his efforts to vane a German submarine. GERMAN GOVERNMENT SEIZES FIELD CROPS A despatch from Amsterdam says ; -The Handelsbald says the Minister of Aviculture has informed the Bur- gomasters that in the interest, of -the feeding of man and beast the seizure of all wheat, oats and barley is necese sexy. The Minister, according to the newspaper, has directed the officials to buy up all corn in the fields at fi2ood. prices. • GERMAN SUBMARINE %German Paper Says That it is Easier Said Than Done. The Deutsche Tageszeitang is in- dignant with those patriots who are perpetually declaring that the nation must "hold out," and who, as they say this, are chewing mouthfule of good food and washing it down with ten glasses of good beer. These peo- ple are constantly referring to th "heroic field greys" in the Wenches who are "holding out," but it is ex- tremely unlikely that they have any notion what "holding out" means But it must be made clear to thee persons and to all others concerne the real meaning of this phrase Thoughtless persons meet understen that eggs, meat, potatoes are no long en there to be simply devoured, bu to sastain life, anti when the air re sounds with endless whiniege abou shortage and scarcity. not only thee who are still feeding opulently, but th still theater -number who are tighten ing their belts must learn that in their querulous complainings they are displaying the most hateful form of unpaeriotic conduct.

At the beginning of the pinch many thought they could `hold Out' 'with a pittance, but it is now growing harder and harder for every- one, and we must simply accustom -selves to endurancee' Attention drawn to enemy countries where ad is also scarce and dear, but in ose countries "holding out" seems be better understood and more pat- tieally practised than in Germany, ssia, the writer points out, is rving, and he imagines what it st be like in poverty-stricken Italy. t these countries are not whimper. -a proof that they have learnt to ere.
