DMJ FAILED
Semi-Official Statement  Insists That
All  Is Well for Germany—
"Slight Losses."
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 12—The German semi-official news agency in a
despatch to Berlin, forwarded here,
says of the allied offensive in Picardy:
"On the third day of the offensive
the French launched a frontal attack
on the German front between Montdidier and Matz. As there' was only
a temporary defense the attackers,
advancing after a strong artillery preparation, accompanied by the tanks,
met only our rearguards, whose machine guns caused the enemy such
severe losse that the attacks everywhere were arrested. After the most
sanguinary repulse of the French assaults our rearguard line was able,
With slight losse, to withdraw many

"North of the Avre the Franco-
British troops made the strongest efforts southward to take the new German formations in the rear and to the
northward to roll up the Germans
along the Avre front, but they failed."

(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
PRANCE, Aug. 12.—(By the Associated Press)—The first American field
army has been organized. It is under
the direct command of Gen. Pershing
of the American forces. The corps
commanders thus far announced arc:
Major-Gen. Liggett, Major-Gen. Bul-
lard, Major-Gen. Bundy, Major-Gen.
Reed and Major-Gen. Wright.
The creation of the first field army
is the first step toward the corodina-
tion of all the American forces Sn

This does not mean the immediate
withdrawal from the British and
French commands of all American
units and It Is probable that divisions
will bo used on the French and British
fronts for weeks yet.

Mate of  Andrew St. Croix   Watched
Seven Schooners Go Down—Estimates Many Men Adrift
(By Dailly News Leased Wire.)
AN ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. 12.—
The number, of fishing vessels destroyed by a German submarino ln its
raid on the fleet off Georges banks
last Saturday' night was "hearer a
score than the nine already reported,
according to men from one of the
vessels brought here today. This is
the belief of Andrew St. Croix, mate
of the schooner Kate Palmer, who says
that from the crosstrees of his vessel
he saw the sinking of seven other
schooners by bombs and that before
the submarine caihe into view he had
counted 11 other explosions at intervals of 15 minutes or half an hour.
According to the mate, there were
frdm 25 to 80 sword fishing vessels
operating on the banks and he believed that the greater number of
these were sunk. As each of them
carried at least two dory crews, ho
estimated that at least 40 boatloads

Contracts Amount to $1,'
200,01)0,000
SPENDS 15 PER
CENT IN CANADA
Dominion Contributes Big
Share to War's
Demand
(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, Aug. 12.—On what a gi
gantic scale are the operations in Can
ada of the imperial munitions board
is indicated in an official statement
that the total value of contracts for
shells, raw materials and supplies of
various kinds up to May 31 last was
?1,200,000,000. No less than $1,000,000,-
000 had been paid on account of these
orders by the board up to the same
date.
Of this enormous expenditure shells
accounted for $604,300,000.
The total number of shells produced
in Canada to the end of May being
50,390.000. These shells rangs In calibre from those of tho 18-pounder and
the 4.5 howitzer, which form the "barkers" 'of the field artillery, to the 9.5
howitzer for back of thc front line,
where the heavies hold forth ln their
deadly duels with the Huns.
Canada Gets 15 Per Cent.
Fifteen per cent of the total expenditures of thc British ministry of munitions during 1917 was spent in Canada,
constituting a very substantial proportion when it is remembered on what
an enormous scale is the manufacturing of munitions in Great Britain Itself and how heavy has been her outlay in the United States.
In the report issued by the imperial
war cabinet for 1917 the following
statement is made:
"Canada's contribution during the
last year has been very striking. Fifteen per cent of the total expenditure
of the ministry of munitions in the
last six months of tho year was incurred in that country.
1 "She has manufactured nearly every
typo of shell from the 18-pounder to
the 9.2-inch. In the case of the 18-
pounder, no less than 55 per cent of
the output of sharpnel shells in tho
last six months came from Canada and
most of these were complete rounds of
ammunition which went direct to
France.
"Canada also contributed 42 per cent
of the total 4.5 shells, 27 per cent of
the 8-inch shells and 16 per cent of the
9.2-lnch.
In addition, Canada has supplied
shell forgings, ammunition components, acetone, T-N-T, aluminum,
nickel, airplane parts, agricultural machinery and timber, besides quantities
of railway materials, including no less
than 450 miles of rails torn up from
Canadian railways which were shipped
direct to France."
The number of factories engaged in
Canada in the production of munitions
is 450. Of these 150 factories are occupied in machining -the steel shells
and assembling componet parts which
are supplied to them by the board,
while 300 factories are producing component parts which are forwarded to
the machining plants, to be made into
the complete shell.
From 56,000 to 80,000 tons of steel
and from 1,600,000 tons to 2,000,000 of
forgings are handled monthly by the
Imperial munitions board. To July 31
approximately 2,100,000 ton^ of steel
had been received and distributed by
the steel department of the board, resulting in the shipment of machining
to plants or exporting of 75,000,000
forgings for shells of sizes ranging
from 18-pounder shrapnel to 9.2,
The imperial munitions board has
also arranged contracts in Canada on
behalf of the United States government whereby Canadian manufacturers will undertake the machining of
approximately 11,000,000 shells and the
manufaccturo of 13,000,000 forgings.
FIGHTING ONLY MODERATE,

FRITZ FEARS BOYS
R. L, Richardson of Winnipeg Tribune
Sends Message of Cheer from
the Canadian's
(By Dailly News Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Aug. 12.—(Canadian
Press Despatch from Reuter's,
Limited.)—The Canadian Press editors
visiting London under the auspices of
the ministry of Information were today entertained to luncheon hy the
London Tress club. Writing on the
tide of victory now flowing in the
allies' favor on the western front, R.
L. Richardson of the Winnipeg Tribune says:
"Firstly, the Canadian press party
was struck with the coincidence that
tho tide of success for the allies on
the battlefront had turned with their
arrival on the scene. "Some mascots?'
as Col. George Ham would say.
Secondly, it must have been a great
relief to our brave Canadian boys to
plungo forward into the fray. I talked to scores and scores of the best
and bravest and their one complaint
was the monotony of lying on their
arms and waiting for long weeks and
months for the order to advance that
never seemed as though It would
come. It was not the fighting and
thc carnage that our boys dreaded, it
was the monotony of weary waiting.
And how well they have done, how
nobly they have fought and are fighting.
Every Canadian at home must be
thrilled with pride as we aro over
here. The Germans fear them worse
than the devil.
Second to None
There is nothing in the entire allied
fighting line that excels them, if, Indeed, it equals them. I rarely neglected to put the question to each one
I talked with: "Would you like to get
back home?"
"Sure," was the immediate and emphatic reply. Then, after a pause and
a sigh, "But not until we have completed this job; not until Fritz is
beaten and has been taught tho lesson
ho so much needs."
I would say to Canadian fathers,
mothers, sisters and brothers: Don't
worry unnecessarily about your dear
ones at tho front. They are, generally
speaking, happy and cheerful and inspired by a brave and holy zeal for the
cause of liberty for which they have
enlisted and they are reflecting glory
not only upon themselves but upon
you. They are happy in the belief
that their country is behind them and
will welcome them home and will give
them "a square deal" when they return. My message to Canada is to
begin now in earnest to prepare for
the assimilative and reconstructive
period when the boys come back.
Let me add that tho colonies, and
Canada especially, havo done much to
inspire and maintain unswerving confidence in our cause and determination to unflinchingly hold fast until
real victory is attained.
Premier Borden is rendering more
effective service here to the Empire
in Its great struggle than he could do
if he were in Canada.

BATTLELINE IN PICARDY—IM PORTANT TOWN OF GURY IS
CAPTURED BY POILUS—FIERCE FIGHTING AROUND CHAULNES
—SPASMODIC FIRING ON SOISSONS-REIMS FRONT
(By the Associated Press.)
Although, the Germans are employing fresh forces of reserves in efforts to hold back the allied troops who nre pressing them from the region
of the Somme to the Oise, the British, French and American armies continue to make progress.
Monday witnessed gains of ground at various points along the battle-
front of high Importance for thc further prosecution  of  the  endeavors  of
tho allies  to drive out the Germans _	
from the old Amlens-Monldidier sec
tor.
In   Bray-sur-Somme.
After an extremely bitter contest
the Americans and British have gained
a foothold In the important little town
of Bray-sur-Somme, on thc northern
bank of the Somme. A short distance
across the river to the south the British have taken Proyart and midway
on the line have pressed to the oast
of Fouquescourt in a maneuver which
has resulted In the further outflanking of Chaulnes from the south and of
Roye from the north.
The French In thc rolling country
immediately north of the Oise river
havo captured Gury, a position of
great strategic value, lying southwest
of Lasslgny and at several other points
southward to the region of the Oise
have advanced their line further toward Noyon.
Reports Conservatives.
In Monday's fighting hundreds of
additional Germans were made prisoner and the enemy lost heavily in
men killed and wounded.
Unofficial reports give tho number
of Germans captured during thc present offensive as In the neighborhood
of 40,000.
The Germans at last accounts were
still throwing reinforcements to tho
east of the road running through
Chaulnes, Roye and Noyon, the passage of which by tho allies would seriously menace all the Gorman forces
Insido tho pocket formed by the Somme
on the north and east and the Oise on
the south. Not only are the allies endeavoring to proas their advantage
south by frontal attacks, but they have
drawn up to their back lines guns of
medium and heavy calibre and with
these they aro shelling .the areas held
by the Germans, even as far hack as
Bethancourt, which lies on the Sommo
ijk miles east of Chaulnes. Meantime
allied airplanes continue to bomb German positions and to use machine
guns from low altitudes on troop formations.
Important Advances
Seemingly tlio advances by tho
French troops on the southern part of
the line cannot but have an extremely
important effect on the present battle.
The hill positions they have gained not
alone dominate the Oise valley running northwestward to Noyon, but
around Lassigny also give them a
sweep of the plains south of Roye.
Aside from the Amiens-Montdidier
sector little fighting has taken place
on any of the fronts. Along the Vesle,
the Germans again have delivered violent counterattacks against the
Americans and French who are holding ground on the north bank of the
stream. As on previous occasions
when the enemy attempted to dislodge
the allied troops, the counterattacks
failed.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug, 12.—During the lull In
the battle there are further indications
lhat the. lino Is hardening. Crown
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria seems to
have brought in more fresh troops and
while the allied forces are pausing of
their own accord, the enemy, within
thc area of his new battle front with
the Somme at his back, is having a
most uncomfortable time.
Guns Pound Chaulnes.
The British guns are hammering
Chaulnes while cannot of larger
calibre aro coming up all the time and
drenching thc enemy rear with steel.
They are also pounding away at the
bridges across tho Somme at Bethancourt.
The shelling of tho bridges here is
serious matter for tho enemy, as
bombs from the air are being dropped
by British airplanes from a low altitude on bridges In the Perrone district.
This bombing has been going on day
and night since the battle began, forcing thc Germans to divert their transport so that tho general movement
was southeast. Now his bridges to the
southeast are under heavy fire.
With tho comparatively small force
of Americans thero has been no real
heavy fighting loday.   They aro still
holding their lino and their patrols
have boon sent out now^and then feeling out the foregrouftpi
At many places along the new front,
especially just south of the Somme,
the Germans are occupying the old lino
dugouts built by the French more than
two years ago. The Germans have
concentrated some artillery at many
plares and today are sending in more
shells than on any day since the battle
began. Lihons which came into British
hands yesterday when Field Marshal
Haig's mon stormed the place after
having been driven out In a counterattack, was being heavily shelled today.
A party of cavalry, charging down
the Roye road ran into the crossfire of
large German pillboxes, studded with
machine guns just this side of Roye
and received a check, but the Germans
who happened to get the opportunity
to do this execution paid the supremo
penalty later. '
Resistance Stiffens.
Today the resistance of the enemy
has been .stiffening, but his troops appear to bo nervous and apprehensive of
what tiie future holds out for them and
what tlie allies intend to do. In order
to feel out the allied force it is said
that further heavy counterattacks may
be launched by the enemy.
Stories of the air -fighting over the
battle lines are amazing, one observer coming into his station, shot down
four machines. In tho same fighting a
Britisher chased one enemy machine
to earth and was swooping down to
finish him off when the man climbed
out of his machine and held up his
hands in token of surrender.
So T didn't kill him," the Britisher
said, "but on my way home I met a
group of enemy machines and got a
bullet in me, but managed to land inside our lines." The report of this incident ends with the statement that
the pilot died in a hospital shortly after  relating  his   story.
A British two-seater shot down two
onemy machines during a battle royal
rti the air. The pilot was badly hit
and fell across his controls. The observer, however leaned forward and
secured his camrade's body and managed to get control of the machine.
Ho brought it to earth where it crashed but both the occupants escaped
death.
Another pilot during thc course of a
fight, started for home wounded. When
10 foot above ground inside his own
lines, he collapsed from loss of blood.
Airmen's Valor.
There aro du/.ens ot thrilling tales
<\i how machine after machine
skimmed close to the ground, fired
point blank into bodies of enemy
troops, killing a great many, in spite
of tho lire from the ground, and how
they wiped out tho crews of enemy
machine guns holding up the allied
advance. They also attacked the poorly constructed Gorman tanks before
they ever had a chance to get into
action.
Prisoners from fresh Prussian and
Bavarian divisions have been captured
in the last few hours. Tho morale
of these men is extremely low. A
great many of them expressed the
opinion that Germany, twice badly defeated in recent weeks and perhaps
having further defeats in store for
her, is on the downgrade and headed
lor defeat,
French families, who -for months
havo been refugees from their homes
in this district, are now returning
whenever possible. Many, of course,
wjill (find tlurtr homes, but •jjthers.i
which wore within range of the German guns before tho allied offensives,
were knocked tu pieces by shellfire.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN

2000 prisoners and more than 30 guns
to their captures.

Capture  Proyart Village.
LONDON, Aug, 12.—Allied troops
fighting today in the region'between
the Somme and the Oise made further
progress cast of Foquescourt and on
the south bank of the Somme and also
captured the village of Proyart, south
of Bray, according to Field Marshal
Haig's communication, issued this
evening. Hundreds of Germans were
made prisoners and the Germans also
suffered heavy casualties. The text
of the communication follows:
In succesful attacks today ln the
neighborhood of the Roye road, east
of Foquescourt and on tbe south bank
of the Somme our line has been advanced in each of these localities and
some prisoners have been taken.
'South of the Somme our troops
captured the village of Proyart after
sharp fighting in which the enemy lost
heavily in prisoners and men killed.
The fighting is continuing i in this
neighborhood.
."On the right of the British front
tho French have taken Lesloges,
"On the remainder of the British
front there is nothing to report."
The contrast between* the number
of prisoners taken and the allied casualties Is remarkable; for instance,
the casualties of the entire allied
forces were considerably less than the
prisoners taken.
When it is understood that this
battle has not been waged for the
purpose of taking prisoners, the casualties inflicted on the Germans must
have reached a large figure.
Desperate   Fighting.
PARIS, Aug. 12—There has blendes
perate hand to hand fighting during
the last two days on the Chaulnes-
Roye-Lasslgny-Noyon front. The Germans aro defending the ground inch by
inch, intent on saving the bulk of the
armies of Gen. von der Marwitz and
Gen. von Hutier, which are retreating
in the direction of Nestes and Ham.
The allied pressure has not been diminished but the Germans have
brought up rservces which had been
intended Cor offensive purposes and
have thrown them into the defensive
action, temporarily delaying the progress of the allies.
Solid occupation by the Infantry and
artillery in Chaulnes and Roye would
be a critical situation for the Germans
n their retreat.
Lull Over Battle Lines.
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 12.—(Router's)—There
was a lull over the battlefield this
morning. On the front of the French
first and third armies tlie enemy was
endeavoring to establish himself on
the line of Roye-Lassigny and the
French were in contact with him along
the greater part of this line, which
runs two miles in front of Roye and
three miles in front of Lassigny.
The line extends from Andrechy
close to the Amiens-Roye road, through
Danicourt and Tilloloy and to Gueyy.
The enemy's reserves are now taking
part in the battle which is overground
that was covered by the German offensives in March and May of this
year. The first three days of allied
idvance is slowing down and the enemy's fresh divisions replace the broken regiments that met the first shock.
The army of Gen. von Hutier with his
loft resting on the massif of Thies-
court and on the Oise, is safely,well
placed for a defensive battle except for
the threat of a further advance by the
British along the Amiens-Roye road.
Light elements of cavalry and cyclists have already penetrated both
points, but permanent occupation by
the allies and their control of the
roads leading to NobIcs and Ham
have not been obtained. The objectives
undoubtedly will have to be taken by
storm.
Believe Ridge Captured.
LONDON, Aug. 12.—The massif of
Lassigny, three miles northeast of
Gury, was expected to be In the poses-
slon of the allles.accordlng to military
opinion, today, based on tse latest news
from the front. It was stated that the
allies virtually wore on the crest of the
high ground and firing into the German's rear.
It has been aserctalned that there
is an Austrian division on the western
front, but it has not been brought into
action.
Try to Check Advance.
WITH   THE   FRENCH   ARMY   IN
FRANCE, Aug! 12.—The increasing
difficulties attending their retreat are
driving the Germans to desperate sac
rifices in their efforts to check the
allies' advance around the positions
the Germans hold on Thiescourt plateau. Their losses are extremely
heavy and their dead lie all over the
field. They are found in shell holes
and nooks, where they vainly sought
protection from the French fire.
Among them are some survivors who
are found in every possible hiding
place.
Privations were endured by the Germans' in the front line recently. This
was evidenced by a letter found since
the offensive began. It was from an
officer, who Informed his relatives in
Germany that the French artillery had
been furnishing the only meat available by killing horses.
Another officer wrote with pride and
statisfaction that he was able to send
along with his message of love and
hope a sack of wheat he had just
gleaned from an.adjoining field.
A German wireless operator was
found at the bottom of a well after
the Frehch had advanced over thc
enemy positions. As evidence of the
haste with which the enemy withdrew,
it may be said that the entire mail of
one regiment made up for transmission to Germany was captured.'
Berlin Official.
BERLIN, Aug. 12.—"On the battle-
front between the Ancre and the Avre
the day has been quieter," says the
German official communication issued
this evening.   The text reads:
"Between the Avre and the Oise enemy attacks failed."
Day Report.
The war office statement issued today says:
"Between the Yser and the Ancre
partial enemy thrusts frequently broke
down before our lines.
"North of tho Lys we beat back a
strong British attack'.
'The enemy in the early morning
launched violent attacks north of the
Somme and between the Somme and
Lihon he was repulsed."
"They were repulsed chiefly by our
fire and sometimes by our counterattack In tlie fighting around Lihon, the enemy advanced beyond that
place.toward the east. Our counterattack threw him back to the northern
and eastern edges'of thc village.
"There have been violent partial engagements ftiotwedn Jih'on ;and 1|he
Avre. Southwest of Chaulnes we attacked the enemy and took Hallu. On
both sides of the Amiens-Roye road
we repulsed enemy attacks.
Between tho Avre and the Oise rivers strong enemy *- attacks continued
until nightfall. They were completely
repulsed.
"The French suffered especially
heavy losses near Tilloloy. By advancing theirartillery, which followed
closely after their tanks, they tried to
effect a break through here. Our Infantry and artillery shot the enemy to
pieces before our lines.
"Fifteen enemy airplanes and four
captive balloons were shot down yesterday. On July 5, 18 enemy airplanes
wero shot down by our airmen on the
German front and G9 by our antl-alr-
cnift guns. Thirty-six cvaptive balloons were shot down. Two hundred
and thirty-nine of these airplanes are
in our possession and the others were
seeen lo fall inside the enemy"s posl
Hon.. We lost 129 airplanes and 63
captive balloons in battle during the
am period."
French  Take  Gury.
PARIS, Aug. 12—French troops have
captured the town of Gury, about 8M:
miles south of Roye, according to the
French official communication issued
tonight. Two counterattacks against
the positions held by'the French and
Americans on the Vesle river near
Fismes have been repulsed.
The text of the communication follows:'
"Between the Avre and the Oise our
troops have captured the village of
Gury. We made some progress north
of Roye-sur-Matz and Chevlncourt.
"On the Veslo front we have repulsed
two violent counterattacks against
our positions on the north bank of the
stream in the region of Fismes."
Tank Crews Work Hard.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 12.—Many tank crews
have been working for 24 and even 36
hours continuously, closed tightly
within the chambers in which the engines were running and into which thc
fumes of the guns filtered.
The allies are pausing with tlje
knowledge that they tiave relieved the
pressure on Amiens and taken from
the Germans hundreds of square miles
on land on much of which there are
ripe crops.
The Germans, with their backs to
the river, are apparently holding the
high ground southwest of Etineheim,
which town is firmly in the hand of
the allies this morning, in spite of
enemy resistance at this point. After
a quiet night the Americans were hold'
ing a section of the line at Braye,
north of the Somme. Just south of the
river the Germans seem to have strong
forces in Cateaux wood. While Herl-
vitle and Chaulnes are considered to
be in enemy territory, Australian patrols seem to have been operating
there.
Spasmodic Firing.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE VESLE FRONT, Aug. 12.—(Reu
ter's)—The Germans are shelling the
Vesle front spasmodically, their heavy
guns apparently being concentrated in
turn on certain targets. St. Thibaut,
Mont Notre Dame and Fismes have
been chiefly chosen.
A real attempt to feel out the allied
strength has taken the form of an attack at Fismette, a little village northeast of Fismes, This, however, was a
failure, as the American shooting was
so good that not a single man was
able to enter the village and the assaulting troops retired, leaving a
fresli sprinkling of dead on the battle
field, which already has been fatal to
so many Germans.
Fight Around Chaulnes.
LONDON, Aug. 12.—The,British are
finding their hardest fighting in the
district close around Chaulnes, where
the Germans are making a desperate
effort to keep the allies back in order
to retain the use of the important lateral railways nnd highways out of
Chaulnes. Allied artillery and airplanes
are doing their utmost to make the use
of these communications unpleasant
for the Germans,
Quiet Wedding Takes Place at Horswill   Home— Will   Reside  In
San  Francisco
A simple wedding was solemnized at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Horswill, Nelson avenue, Fairview, when
Mary Louise, the youngest daughter

unattended.
She was charmingly gowned in a
traveling costume of navy serge, with
a waist of white georgette and satin
embroidered with beads. Her hat was

All the answer Mr. Crothers would
vouchsafe was that parliament had
appointed the civil service commission to do this work, and, therefore,
could not appoint another.
At the close of the meeting the following irasolujlon |wns unanmiously
passed:
"That, this mass meeting of trades

strongly condemns the position of Mr.
Crothers, minister of labor, for the
flagrant abuse of his position as a
cabinet minister in touring the country making statements which would
appear to be nothing more or less than
an attempt to prejudice the case of
the postal employees and divert public
opinion ebfore the civil service commission has even commenced Its investigation agreed upon."

Misunderstand    Minister's    Statement
and  Cry  Out  In  Disapproval-
Pass Resolution.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
CALGARY, Alta., Aug. 13.—By the
statement that the postal employees
were not justified in disorganizing the
business of the country on such a
trifling pretext, that in so doing they
were fighting against the interest of
the allies and were unworthy of their
brothers who were risking their lives
for their country and then threatening
the strict enforcement of the Industrial Disputes act in case any sucrt
strike should occur again without giving both sides the proper chance to
arbitrate, Hon. Thomas Crothers
stirred up a veritable hornets' nest at
the Trades and Labor temple last
night. Both men and women took
exception to his statements and attitude, disputing his figures, plying
him with questions, some of which he
refused to answer, interspersing his
speech with interjections, laughter and
sneers and demanding answers to their
questions.
Calls Order.
Alexander Ross, M.L.A., who acted
as chairman, had to call for order
many times. A great cry of disapproval went up when Mr. Crothers, in
speaking of the power of the government to appoint a board of conciliation, said "when parliament, who are
their masters and our masters, had
appointed a civil service commission
to attend to this business, the government could not appoint another1 board
to do the same thing." Cries of "our
servant, not our master" went up and
later in the evening speakers referred
to it, bringing forth the reply from
Mr. Crothers that he meant that parliament was master of the government.
The hardest question Mr. Crothers
was asked to answer was the following:
"Inasmuch as you stated that the
civil service commission was given
the whole authority to appoint men to
positions, to fix their salary and to

WITH THE CANADIAN FORCES
IN THE FIELD, Aug. 12.—(By J. F. B.
Livesay, Canadian Press Correspondent.)—(9 p. m.)—During the post two
days the Canadian corps has had the
honor to receive several distinguished
visitors who have congratulated it on
its splendid work. Among those have
been Sir Douglas Haig and Premier
Clemenceau.
Sir Douglas rode along the Canadian
battlefront, stopping to speak to officers anc men at Canadian headquarters. He complimented Sir Arthur
Currie, not only on the achievement
of the corps, but also on the wonderful spirit animating thc men, battle-
weary after three days of savage fighting, yet whose only desire was to be
let loose again on the Boche. The Canadian advanced line has been practically static since Saturday evening.
Withstand Attacks.
Yesterday the enemy, having brought
up fresh troops, made a strong counterattack upon our sector but the Canadian infantry was too much for him
and he retired precipitately, leaving
many dead upon the field. It Is, how?
ever, a fundamental error and an injustice to our men to describe the enemy as of weakened morale, or to say
that his rank and file surrendered?
freely. They surrendered In large
droves on Thursday because our barrage was behind them and our cold
steel upon them, while they lacked entirely any adequate artillery support.
These long lines of prisoners, swinging
sullenly over dusty roads to our rear
by no means exhibit an army played
out. In fact, they arc freshly and well
clothed. Certainly they are a somewhat hetereogeneous lot, fair-haired
men of the north, darker races of
southern Germany, Jews, and what appear to be some Slavs. But ln equipment and everything that goes to make

of the Canadian people. ,
More Than Amiens Relieved
The   battle,  planned  for a  limited
front, has  a far   repercussion.     Beleaguered Amiens has been definitely \
relieved, but with It, too, are relieved
Montdidier and a great slice of country to the south.   The advance of our^
gallant allies north from the line of y
the Matz river is of great significance.
It leaves the enemy in the bag, the i
string of whose mouth has fast been j
tightening.    Immediately  in  front  Of
us Is the old battlefield of the Somme,
pitted  with  ancient  trenches,  which1
provide   splendid   hiding   places   for
enemy machine gunners.   Obviously a
direct frontal attack here, at the moment, might prove costly and the object of our   leaders   Is   to   conserve
manhood so far as is compatible with
successful warfare.
PARIS, Aug. 12.—A report from tho i
army of the east, Aug. 11, reads: "Calm ■

Merchants te Garry Out Plan During
Chautauqua Week—Make  Preliminary Announcement.
Twenty-five of the leading merchants in Nelson have concluded arrangements under which visitors who
come to Nelson for shopping expeditions artd to attenc} Chautauqua next
week will have thoir fares to and from
Nelson paid.
In other words, they havo arranged
a plan to enable tho people of the surrounding district of Kootenay and
Boundary to secure a freo trip to Nelson.
Some time ago a similar plan was
carried out at Calgary and it proved a
groat success. It was taken advantage
of by thousands of people In Alberta.
That a similar "shopipng and amusement week" In Nelson will be equally
successful on a proportionate scale is
tho belief of the merchants who have
got together in tho plan of which a
preliminary announcement is mado
this morning .
A detailed statement of tho arrangements which have been mado is being
prepared and will bo published Wednesday morning. ,

But    News    Says    Little    of    Actual
Facts About  Ground
tost
(By- Datllx News Leasee Wire.)
AMSTBRpAM, Aug-. 12.—Present In?
a picture of the -Anglo-FrcntSh plan of
attack between'5the Ancre and the
Avre, the German semi-official news
agency, in a despatch to Berlin, says
it was'the intention of the allies to
overrun the German defensive system
along'tho front which was only weakly
defended. It says that there had been
no time to construct permanent defenses and that claims upon transport
material has' been too heavy to permitj
the carrying out of the work alongj
the line.   The despatch reads:
"Under protection of short but ex-
tremoly Intense, bombardment, the
entente armies tried to cut lanes
through the German infantry and
artillery ' lines by tank squadron^.
Then the davalry, supported by tanks,
was to be sent through the Infantry
lines in order to reach, <jn the first
day, a high road between Peronne and
Roye.
Held Places Till Surrounded
"Failure of this plan was due in tho
first place to the heroic resistance oi
trench garrisons, which, at many
points, held their positions until surrounded on all sides.
"Signal rockets were invisible in tho
thick fog and while the gunners continued to put down a barrage fire before them, they suddenly found tanks
upon their flank and rear, whose machine gun fire played terrible havoc
In their ranks.
"Quick as lightning, gun after gun
would be slewed around and would
blaze into the tanks at short range,
while other guns would continue to
let down barrage fire to impede the
bringing up of English reserves. In
other batteries tho last surviving
officers kept up machine gun firo for
hours, even succeeding in fighting
their way through to tho Gorman
lines.
"The English and French began the
second day's offensive with tank attacks, but, weakened by the losses of
the previous day, they did not display^
tho same vigor. Caught in the fire of
German batteries, the shells of which
raised black fountains around their
tanks, their attack wavered. Several
tanks wero hit and burst Into flames.
Others turned tail. The infantry did
not follow up properly and tho attacks
stopped dead.
Afternoon Attack
"Only In the afternoon were the
British, with the help of fresh troops,
able to renew the attack. On the entire front, from Morlancourt ,to the
Avre, waves advanced, headed once
more by strong tank divisions. Airmen flew overhead, attempting to
smother the German ranks with a hail
of machine gun bullets,
"A smart parrying counterattack by
German infantry followed. The fight'
swayed this way and that, but finally
tho British, despite the strong forces
employed, were unable to make headway on' the bank of the Somme and
along the great Roman high road.
"Further south the Franco-British
assault against the line from Rosieres
to Arvillers succeeded in gaining
ground on terrain which was extremely' unsulted for defense. So
eventually tht battle ground on both
banks of thc Somme, which furious
British attacks could not capture, was
given up voluntarily."
will not tie admitted to Germany from
the east has caused great resentment
in all Jewish circles, especially in Austria, according to the Jewish correspondence bureau. The Vienna Mor-
gen Zeltung, a Jewish paper, says this
decision is of far reaching Importance
to tho Austrian Jew,   It adds:
"The Jews were supporters of the
Austro-German alliance, ljut must now
alter their opinion regarding Austria's
foreign policy. Germany does not permit Jews tp. cross her eastern frontier. Russia, on the other hand, has
abolished all laws placing limitations
on Jews. It is clear which side enr
lists our sympathy. Germany is the
only European stated which wishes to
drive out the Jewa."

•WITH   VERY   MODERATE   CASUALTIES."
The announcement by Sir Edward
Kemp, overseas minister of militia,
that the Canadian army in the big
drive of the past few days sustained
very moderate casualties is splendid
news. The CaWadten troops took a
leading part, tho despatches have
shown, In the offensive which resulted
in the capture of around 40,000 prls-
onervhundreds of guns and thousands
of tons of supplies. "All objectives
were achieved and held," states the
overseas minister.
■Vfrhile it is upon the Infantry that
the brunt ctfljftttle still falls, the mechanical devfr* of warfare are more
and tnorc contributing to tho succcsb
of offensive movements. Artillery
plays,' a greater part than ever, before
arid the limits of Its possibilities are
not In sight, power-propelled engines
of, war are almost at the beginning
of their develoi^pent, while the airplane Is developing daily a more decisive factor in offensive and defensive fighting. To the perfection of the
artillery, the tanlts and "whippets"
and the work of the airmen must bo
attributed in a largo measure the fact
that the Canadian casualties can be
described as "very moderate."
■   AN INTERESTING QUERY.
Bonar Law points out. that In the
entente are nations aggregating 1,-
200,000,000 In population as against
150,0|0,000:ln the.Centval Empires. But
the point Is thai the Germans have
armies at the decisive places considerably superior in numbers to the
armies of the entente. What is thc use
of counting In the entente, for military purposes, nations that do not
count?—Mall  and  Empire.
Well, just so—especially when one
won't use them, remarks the Ottawa
Journal.
Suppose, now, that the Germans had
owned India and its 400,000,000 people
when this war broke out. What do
you think the Germans would have
done How many million soldiers do
you guess that the Germans would
have conscripted there? And how long
would the war have lasted on land?
VETERANS FAVOR Y. M. C. A.
The committee, authorized by the
executlvo committee of the Great War
Veterans' association, Ontario provincial branch, to discuss the alleged
■ grievances regarding the Y. M. C. A.
advanced by members at the Hamilton
conventlonh has, among other things,
reported;
"It* is quite possible lhat a Canadian
soldier has been ministered to by the
British Y.M.C.A. and has taken It for
granted that it was the Canadian
Y.M.C.A. The policy of tho two associations is different. Hence the misunderstanding.
"Your committee Is of the opinion
that whilst certain individual criticisms have been Justified in view of
the circumstances detailed, the work
done, by the Y.M.C.A, is beneficial to
the soldier. The extent of its work
can .only be measured If it were possible to imagine the Y.M.C.A. or any
other, institution doing similar work as
being non-existent for«some weeks.
The absence ot them,' wou)d*> by force
of contrast, bring to light the essential
value of their work among the Canadian soldiers."
The Y.M.C.A. overseas is doing Its
part to help win the war.
The Toronto Mall and Empire notes
that most of the triumphs nowadays
are staged at home.
Austrian newspapers are talking
about the "Inevitable defeat" of the
aentral powers. And 'the (Austrian
censor has let It pass. Does this mean
that Austria is preparing to break
away from Its boss? It undoubtedly
would like to.
The New York state attorney general 'states that he can show by affidavits that William Randolph Hearst
on one or more occasions had Count
von Bernstorff and Bolo Pasha to dinner at his homo. That's not surprising. It has been clear for a long
time that Hearst did not get his Inspirations from any entente source.
Nelson will again be host next week
to Its friends from tho surrounding
district and under a plan which Is being announced by a number of merchants they can travel to the city for
a joint shopping and amusement expedition and havo their fares both ways
paid. No doubt hundreds of persons
In Kooteany and Boundary will take
this opportunity of seeing the Chautauqua program or part of it.

Pte. Michael Carroll died at .Hamilton after drlnfclng Hhellric,
{By Capt. Paul Bowsher, D.C.C., R.A.F.)
Bruges, the most important German
naval 'base in Belgium, has been ftt-
tacked so often by British ia-irmert
that it is now perhaps the best defended place against night bombing on
the western front.
The pilot and observer of a British
light homblng machine proceeding to
Bruges havo usually no difficulty in
finding their way, as a haze of light
from the searchlights can be seen 20
or 30 miles off. As they draw nearer
they see a maze of 15 or 16 searchlights moving restlessly over the town,
looking for some machine whose engine has been heard. Suddenly, they
see the red flash of a bursting bomb
and then another and another. At
once chains of brilliant, emerald-colored balls of fire pour upwards In
ceaseless lines, filling the sky with
green bubbles of light. The machine
1b not picked up, however,^and .gradually the lights and shell fire die away.
Ten Thousand Feet Over Nothing.
Now they aro drawing nearer, and
tho observer crawls through a little
door into the nose of the machine, examines his bomb bundle, and adjusts
the bomb dropping sight. As he kneels,
10,000 feet over nothing, he is so absorbed in watching the ground that his
surrounding seem to him perfectly
normal; he is entirely at his ease.
Below he sees the black line of the
canal which he is using as a guide. He
turns the pilot to the left with a wave
of his hand and then again to the right
and stops him with an unlifted arm.
Ahead he can see the dark mass of
the town, and to the left the long
bassins of the docks. Far to the left
lies the dark line of the Belgian coast,
and over Ostend and Zcebruggo move
the sentinel searchlights. Bruges lies
dark and dim, snatching a brief rest
from its tumultuous night.
The observer waves his hand and
the roar of the engines dies away
into silence as tho machines dives
towards its target, Ho unstraps his
bomb handle and leans far over thc
front, looking down to the shining,
water of the dock, absorbed in following the course of the little metal bar
of the sight. It touches the docks and
crosses them. With a quick gesture
ho guides the pilot to the left, and the
bar sweeps round and crosses the section of the quay he wishes to attack.
When the Bomb Falls.
He checks thc pilot, and hold his
bomb lever in readiness. Hundreds of
Germans stand waiting at their guns,
and machine guns and searchlights
and green ball machines. The organized hate of a community lies below
the observer, but he thinks of nothing
save the passage of the metal bar
across the black mass between the
two shining strips of water.
Suddenly-his "sight" registers thc
range. He pushes the lever forward
slowly, pulls it back again, and again
pushes it forward, and again and
again. From behind there comes the
click and clatter of 14 dropping bombs.
He shouts to the pilot to turn, and
one huge wing climbs towards the stars
as the machine sweeps round and away
from the welter of shells and searchlights that the explosion of the bombb
will bring.
Gazing downward, the observer sees
at the edge of the quay a red spurt
of flame which slowly dies away. Two
others follow, in the water where Ho
the destroyers and submarines, and
then more and more burst on the sheds
in the middle. A white sheet of flame
bursts from one shed, and fading slowly leaves a red glare. An ammunition
store has been blown up. The other
bombs burst across the wharveB and
crowded bassins, leaving huge clouds
of white smoke where they have
wrought destruction.
Inferno  Opens—Too   Late!
Simultaneously with the bursting of
the first bomb, hundreds of green balls
some streaming In swaying (curves
from the ground, and pour upwards
past the wing's on both sides. Like a
handful of ribbons the searchlights
have been thrown up, and fill the sky
with wands of light which weave a
fltrnnge pattern all nroimd the ma
chine. Gun fire flashes round the
town, and close to the machine now
bursts the clamorous barrage.
It is an- awe-inspiring din, but
through It the observer has heard the
thud of tho bursting bombs below. He
scrambles back to the pilot and
laughs. Searchlights sweep to and
fro, over them, under them, and on
either side; ceaselessly tiie fantastic
strings of green balls bubble upwards
and the flash of the shells seem to
fill the whole sky.
The machine Toars on homeward
through a maelstrom of flame and
fire. The attack has been pressed
home, and in the docks of Bruges the
ammunition sheds are shattered and in
flames, the water is pouring into the
battered sides of the submarines. The
lirmen fly home, well content with
their consciousness .ot duty well done,
and leave far behind the searchlights
still vainly scouring..every quarter of
the heavens—too late!
ANNA HELD, FAMOUS
ACTRESS, PASSES AWAY
(By Daily. News Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Aug 12.—Anna Held,

GERMANS DO NOT FEEL

(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
AMSTERDAM, Au'g. 12.—Morale in

tho recent defeats. Several critics are

that the allies have given thc Germans
a serious check, but explained the
withdrawal is due to unfavorable
weather, a heavy mist giving thc allies
nn initial advantage. Others assert
thc British and French successes will
not endure and that they arc not of
any permanent importance.

Two Crows  Lost
AN ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. 12.—
Two submarines raided the fleet of
fishing schooners on the George"s bank
Saturday and the crews of the schooners Old Time and Cruiser were probably lost when their boats were sunk
by gunfire without warning, according
to the crew of the fishing schooner
Mary Sennet, who were landed , here
tosight. The Sennet was also sunk by
gunfire and shells were fired at the
boats when they were piling away, the
fishermen said.
The Sennet, Old Time and Cruiser
were fishing in the same neighborhood
when the Sennet's lookout noticed two
submarines several miles away. As the
underwater boats apparently were pay
Ing no attention to the fishermen at
the time, the Sennet's crew continued
fishing after putting water and provisions in the boats as a precautionary
measure.
Struck Without Warning,
As thoy kept un eye on the strangers, thinking they might be American
boats,, one of thc submarines submerged and the other took a wide circle
around the little group of three fishermen. The first intimation the fishermen had that the submarines were
hostile was when a, shell suddenly
crashed Into tho side of the Old Time.
She heeled over and sunk so quickly
that the Sennet's crew were certain thc
men could not have escaped. At any
rate they saw nothing of them.
The Old Time had hardly disappeared whena shell dropped alongside
the Cruiser, immediately followed by
another shot which exploded on the
water line. The little craft crumbled
up and went down before the crew had
a chance to jump for their lives.
The iMary Sennet's m!en 'pld rtoti
wait for a similar end. They threw
over their dories and tumbled into
them just as. a shot crashed into her.
She was heavily loaded and sank like
a stone. But the Germans apparently
were not satisfied. They sent four
shells at the small boats pulling away,
but all thc shots went wild.

OLD   ROMANCE  WAKES
FOR SALVAGE SARGE
"Funny thing," began a sergeant of
a certain salvage unit near the front,
"the things you'll run Into when you're
sorting over this junk.
"Look at this pile of wounded guys'
clothes, sent up from thc field hospital. It was in just sucha pile as that
that I got one of the surprises of my
life.
"I was poking It over to see how
much of it could be saved nnd how
much could be scrapped, when out of
a pocket rolled a picture—the picture
of a girl. Hell. I'm human, and I
picked it up to look at It. And I'm a
son of a gun It It wasn't a girl I used
to go with steady some 10 years ago!
"Seeing I was on the scent, and to
make sure I picked up the blouse and
looked in the pockets. 1 found another
picture, and on It the Information that
she was a Mrs. Somebody or other now
and that the guy who'd been wounded
was the Mr. of the family.
"Well, I picked out the two pictures,
got the fellow's address from a letter
ln his pocket and went on working.
But as soon as I can get anything like
tlmcoff from this junkman's Job i am
going to try to hum a ride down to
tho hospital and see if he wants anything done for him. Ho must have
befcn a pretty decent scout or sh^-**
wouldn't have married him. . . YeS,
she thought pretty wel of mc; oh, i
hate myself, I do!
"All the same, doesn't It beat tho(
devil? I hadn't heard from her In a

HUNS BRING CAMOUFLAGE
TO POINT OF PERFECTION
A British air officer writing from
the western front says that the Germans have brought camouflage to a
state of artistic perfection that is almost incredible. "T'he most expert and
highly experienced airmen are often
deceived even when flying low," he
writes." As a first step the German
military authorities sought suggestions from the most distinguished
German artists in color. As a next
step every available man was turned
Into the business' of carrying out the
artists' Idea. Miles of canvass painted
to look llge roads were constructed,
under which regiments could march
•without being seen. Paper encampments   were   improvised   und   aero
dromes, woods, villages and factories
of a purely fictitious character were
set up merely to distract observers
and to cover the movements of troops
and guns. Nothing on so vast a scale
has ever been attempted before."
INTENSE PATRIOT HELD  BY
COURT NOT A LUNATIC
NEW YORK—Timothy Crowley, a
brother of Deputy Police Commissioner Ellen O'Grady, who alienists had
declared was insane on one subject, intense patriotism, was declared sane by
a jury in the county court, Brooklyn,
before Judge McDermott.
Crowley will bc put on trial on a
charge of felonious assult later. He
is accused of shooting Frank H, Van
Name in Fulton street on May 9. According to Crowley, Van Name uttered
disparaging remarks about the country. Crowley says he upbraided him,
and when Van Name put his hand to
his back pocket Crowley shot him
twice. He declared he committed the
assault in self-defense and because he
thought Van Name was an enemy of
the country.

CHANGE OF WATER
CAUSED
DIARRHOEA
People moving from one place to another are very much subject to diarrhoea on account of the change of
water, change of climate, change of
diet, etc., and what at first appears to
be but a, slight looseness of thc bowels
should never be neglected or some serious bowel complaint will be sure to
follow.
The safest and quickest cure for diarrhoea, dysentery, colic, cholera infantum, cholera morbus, pains In the
stomach, seasickness and all looseness of thp bowels is Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry.
Mr. T. T. Allard, parry Sound, Ont.
writes: 'In the fall of 1914 I was work,
Ing on the new 'Chiclet Gum' factory,
on Carlaw Ave., in Toronto, when I
had a violent attack of diarrheoa,
owing, X think, to the change of water.
One of the foremen advised me to get
a bottle of Dr. Fowler's Extract of
Wild Strawberry, which I did, with
tho result that I hadn't taken it all
before I was completely cured."
Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry has been a national remedy for
the past 1'Z years, and is sold by med
lclne dealers everywhere at 35c a bot

stitute on you.    When you pay your

DEPORTATION
Of
Forced (Labor .Inflicted   on  iBolgian
Civilians by Brutal Matters Says
Ambassador,
The minister of Belgium in Washington has prepared the following
from material received from the Belgian government regarding the deportation 'nnd forced labor inflicted on
Belgian civilians by order of the German government:
"The last Information which has
reached, the Belgian government at
Le Havre-France, from occupied Bel-
glum, shows that deportation and
forced labor are still being carried on
especially in the military zone which
comprises the tw*o Flanders and a
great part pf the provinces of Ha-
maut, Namur and Luxemburg.
"But deportation and forced labor
have at present assumed a new character. The Belgians instead of being
snt to, Germany as formerly, are now
being sent to work in the regions behind the German front ln Prance and
Belgium. Besides, the Germans who
formerly deported tho Belgians under
the pretext of giving work to the unemployed, now send them to the north
of France and compel them to work,
prtendlng that, Invirtue of article 2 ot
tho order issued by the German general headquarters on Oct. 3,1916, every
inhabitant \of Ifho' country may be*
compelledto give his help tn case of
public calamity, even outside his residence.
Emperor's Orders.
"This modification ln the policy of
deportation to0£ plio.ee In I8I7. Then,
as a consequence' o*f the universal protests raised against this policy, the
German emperor issued Instructions to.
the effect that 'deportation of unemployed Belgian to* Germany bo discontinued until further orders.' But
these instructions were carried out
only partly and very slowly. Moreover,
they did not apply'to'the thousands of
civilians who have, been sent behind
the German front in France.
"The chiefs of several Germari armies Intentlonaly misconstrued the in-,
structions of the German emperor.'
They pretended to understand that
these Instructions only forbade the
sending of Belgian citizens to Germany but not to other regions and thus
they continued sending them to the.
regions behind the German front in
France and Belgium.
'At tho same time, after the German authorities had pretended to listen to the protests of the neutrals and
had steted that they -yould stop the
deportations, they ceased to take any
more men under the pretext of unemployment. But they had reco.ure to
article 2 of tho above decree of Oct.
3, 1910, which reads as follp-*ys: 1
" 'Every inhabitant of the country.
Is bound to give his help In case of ao-,
cldents and general danger and also
to rblng relief in case of public calamity with all his power, even outside
his residence. It he refuses he may be
compelled by force to do so.'
"It has thus been sufficient for the
German authorities to decide that the'
regions occupied by their armies are
in a state of public calamity' to take
away from their homes, in many regions of Belgium men, women and
even children 14 years of age, and*
compel them to work,'
Tear -Belgians Away.
'The authorities have thus contln-
lied, principally In the terlrtorles In'
the zone of the armies to tear the Belgians away from their honjes In order to transport t(iem, l.Pto the regions

(By Rifleman Patrick Macgill, Author
of "Thc Great Push," etc.)
Thc soldiers, billeted ln the attic of
the little village cafe talked of stretch-^
er bearers and their work. Therooky,
a boy of 19, with only one spell of
trench work in his history so far,
spoke,
"I've seen some stretcher-bearers up
front when we were there, and so far
as I could see they did nothing," he
said. "They come in.with us, slipped
fnto the best dugout and stuck there
till we left. No sentry-go, no patrols,
no fatigues, nothing. Jolly easy job
they have."
A big mar. sitting near the doon
cleaning his rifle looked up.
"What's that you say?" lie inquired.
"Says that thc stretcher-bearer do
nothing, Tom," someDOdy replied from
tlie corner. "Thinks their job is a
regular beaiw with nothin* to do all
day, 'cept sleep In a dugout and smoke
fags." .
Rookies' Opinions.
"Rookies have that oplnio'n always,"
said Tom, the big man. "They think
when they have their first look at
things that they themselves do all the
vvork and that nobody else does anything. It's not to be wondered at, for
I myself had that opinion when I
came here for the first time. But'
when 1 got my first wound out in a
shell crate near Glvenchy. I changed
my opinion. It was slushy weather,
with the mud risinng to the neck almost und the rain peltln' duwn from
the heavens. I was lyin' out there in
full sight of the German lines till the
stretcher-bearers camo out across the
open and carried me in, It was a job,
too, one of the worst jobs than men
could attempt. But they did it, and
after that my opinion of stretcher-
bearers changed. They are as fine
fellows as any in the British army. .
"And they have their work and
plenty of it," Tom continued. "A
stretcher-bearer is born, not made. He
has his job to do, and he's cut out to
do it and damn the consequences. Of
course they get the best dugout when
they go up the line—it is not for their
own sakes, but for the sake, of the
wounded. When a man's hit he wants
all the care that he can get, and if he's
not placed In a good dugout how can
he be attended to? Sometimes when
there's a heavy bombardment going
on men wounded in thc((morning ha.ve
to remain In the linos till dark, for
it's impossible to take them through
the trench at such a time and they
have to be carried over the top. And
even when there's no bombardment,
the wounded can very rarely be carried
over the top in daylight, for the Germans-are particularly fond'of sniping
at the wounded and 'do; so whenever
they have the opportunity.
Seldom   Parade.
"Back here the stretchor-bearers
seldom go out on parade with us. But
that's because they're to get instruction from the doctor about the use of
tornlquiels, bandages and medicine, as
well as helping him with the sick.
They'll never "learn that by forming
four, and besides, they're not fighting
men and are unarmed. Thoy havo
their own work to do, just as we have
ours. We have to kill men and they
have to save men, nnd if they follow
in a charge they must know all about
saving. And as for fatigues, when
they are in the trencheB it's not to be
thought of. They have to stay in the
trench at a certain point, andth'ey're
to be ready whenever they're called on.
You've protUbly heard them (called
for when you wero up there yourself,
rooky."
"They were called for one," said the
young fellow, "when a man-in my bay
cut his finger with his clasp knife
when opening a tin of bully."
"That might happen," said Tom.
"But it's not always for a cut on the
finger they're called. Now and again
a shell drops in a trench, and then
there's some work to do. "Stretcher-
bearers at the doublet" is the shout,
and they double to it. The word is
passed along the trench to the dugout
whore they're waiting, and if they are
out on ration fatigue what's fto fbt»
done? Send out a search party to look
for them while the poor fellows that
are hit are dying maybe for want of
attention Is that thc way you'd hove
the war   carried on, roky?"
"I haven't thought of the matter
in that way," said the youngster.
"Of course you haven't'," said Tom,
"People never think of things in the
right way till they get to know all
about them."

_j	
■   (By Dally News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, Aug. 12.—The imperial
munitions board gives out the following statement:
"An article appears in Le Devoir of
Aug. 8 quoting and comemnting on
an advertisement appearing in i'Eclair-
eur of Beauceville, for lumbermen to
cut airplane spruce in British Columbia. The advertisement purports to
be issued on behalf of the imperial
munitiosn board and holds out the
prospect of exemption from military
service to lumbermen engaged in this
work.
"The advertisement In question was
drawn up and inserted by n local
agent of the board, without having
been referred to the head office of tho
board and as soon as it came to the
board's attention, instructions were
given to withdraw it.
"The board could, of course, not undertake to deliver certificates of exemption upon the signing of agreements to enter Into its service. To its
employees such certificates can "be
granted only by the tribunals established by law.1'

AERIAL HOSPITALS.
The possibility of aortal hospitals
for the cure of tuberculosis nnd other
diseases is being discussed by British
medical men, according to Information
received from Dundee, Scotland. An
article has been written by a physician
on the feasibility of using air flights
in thc cure of disease.
. The physician-author calls attention to the fact that the air of high
altitudes Is absolutely free from germs;
that tlie atmosphere pressure gets progressively less as one ascends. This
germ-free atmosphere, he says, it just
what the surgeon is constantly seeking
at the cost of inflnlite labor, expense
ahd care, and which be rarely attains
on earth. The air, therefore, may be
valuable to the surgeon. To thtP
physician, says the author, it presents
a possible cure for tuberculosis. As
the air Is absolutely free from germs
a consumptive cannot reinfect himself by breathing it, and the diminishing pressure of tlio atmosphere may
be of urther assistance in treatment,
since at ground level the lungs are
never thoroughly emptied of air, and
the "dead" air left in their cavities is
a factor in causing lung disease. "It
is possible," says the author, ''that
freedom from germs, lowered atmospheric pressurcand the complete sun-
bath obtainable In the air may lead to
the creation of aerial hospitals for
specially selected early'cases of consumption, rersonally, I look forward
confidently to the day when aerial
hospitals will be an ordinary equipment of every city." '

THE WORKERS.
Here's to the man who labors and
does it with a song. Ho stimulates
his neighbors and helps the world
along.
I like the men who do tilings, who
hustle and achieve; the men who saw
and glue things, and spin and dig and
weave.
Man groans beneath his burden, beneath  the chain he  wears;  and  still
the toiler's guerdon is worth the pain
he  bears.
For  there's no satisfaction beneath
the bending sky like that he man of
action  enjoys when  night  is  nigh.
To look back o'er the winding and
dark  and  rocky road and know  you
bore your grinding and soul-fatiguing
load-
As   strong   men   ought   to   bear   it,
through   all   the   stress   and   strife—
that's   the   reward   nf  merit—that   is
the balm of life!
1 like the men who do things, who
plow and sow and and reap, who build
and    delvo   and   hew   things   while
dreamers   are   asleep.

Three Doukhobor women, committed

were taken to Okalalla prison farm
last evening. The three women are
members of the party of 16 who burned a barn belonging to some neighbors.
They made their departure from the
provincial jail in a peaceful way and
there was a lack of the singing, a
contrast to their entrance to the local
.prison. The men will, It is expected,

the dead woman.
Witnesses stated that there were no
marks of a struggle and It was their
opinion that no one had been In the
room with Mrs. McLaughlin.
Thomas McLaughlin Testifies.
Thomas McLaughlin, proprietor of
the Fort Sheppard hotel, Waneta, and
husband of the woman, was the first
witness called. He stated that he had
last seen his wife at Waneta on Aug.
3. He said she was angry and would
not speak to him. He could give no
cause for this, but said she frequently
had similar spells.
"Tride to Subside Before."
She had at times refused to come to
dinner until, coaxed and when she did
come she started to cry and had said
that she was going to leave. His sister had been present on some of these
occasions. She had tried to take her
life before, he said. She had procured a bottle of wood alcohol but he
had managed to get it away from her
before she drank1 any of it. Once she
had tried to drown herself in the river
but he had prevented her, he continued.
They had been married two and a
half years. She was born in Pittsburg and her nearest relative was a
sister in Moose Jaw. He had trouble
with her and she would not listen to
advice from him. He had asked her
to go to a doctor when ill and she
would not. When asked is she and
his sister had ever had any quarrels
he said they had not as they had only
known each other for two weeks. She
waa not in the habit of taking drugs.
She had a habit of smoking cigarettes
which he had tried to get her to stop.
Her angry fits lasted for two or three!
days and then she would be all right
again. She had said she liked her
home In Waneta and never showed
any desire to leave, until the last week.
McLaughlin said he had gone to
Trail on Wednesday to look for his
wife and was informed that she had
gone to Castlegar to look for work. Before leaving Waneta she had asked
for some money and he had given her
?5. She had later gone to the till and
taken all the money in It. He believed this amounted to about $13.
Druggist Gives Evidence.
F. Granite, dispensing druggist at
the Poole Drug store, told the jury
that the woman had come to the store
between 10 and ll o'clock on Friday
morning and had bought a two-ounce
bottle of carbolic acid. She had appeared quite rational and he had not
inquired for what purpose she purchased the poison. When asked what he
thought was In thc tumbler produced
he said he considered it was diluted
carbolic acid.
Mrs. Erlckson of the Grand Central
hotel, stated that she had been called
by the chambermaid on Saturday
morning. The chambermaid had seen
the woman lying on the bed fully
dressed. The door was open. Mrs.
Erickson had looked in and immediately thought by the appearance of the
woman's lips that she was dead. She
had then telephoned for Dr. Hartin,
who had pronounced the woman dead.
Mrs, Erickson had not known the
guest before. She had seen a light
burning in her room at about 11
o'clock the night before. Tho porter,
in making his calls in the morning,
had not noticed tbe door open. He
had made his calls between 5 and 6
o'clock.
The bed was hardly disturbed at all.
The covers had  been pulled  back a
little and the woman was lying diag
onally across the bed.
Chief Long Testifies
Chief of Police T. H. Long said that
following information he had received,
he went to the Grand Central hotel at
about 10:30 on Saturday morning.
He identified the bottle produced
at the inquest as the one found by the
bedside. There was less than a teaspoonful left in the bottle. There was
a broken tumbler lying on the floor
which had several drops of the liquid
clinging to the larger pieces. He
found a quart bottle which had contained temperance beer. There was a
small quantity of the near beer left
in the bottle. He had also found two
sacks of Bull Durham hung to the
springs under the bed. The woman's
satchel was also there ahd in it was
a railway ticket from Castlegar to
Trail and return. It was dated
Aug. 8', Chief Long said he found ho
signs which would indicate that a
struggle had taken place.
The jury, composed of Aid. John
Bell, F. J. Boles, J. W. Holmes, A. D.

Council to Act on Chief Guthrie's Advice—Chautauqua   Committee
Gets Grounds Free.
-% -
A delegation from the local committee of the Chautauqua waited on the
city council at its regular meeting held
in the city hall last evening and was
granted permission to have the use of
the recreation grounds during Chautauqua week. The committee promised
to leave the grounds in the present
condition.
A communication was received from
a Toronto advertising firm asking the
city to take part in an advertising
scheme.   The letter was filed.
The Eagle lodge requested that work
being done to its plot at the cemetery
be discontinued. It was pointed out
that this lodge now owed nearly $800
oh Its plot at the cemetery and that
if work was discontinued on it the appearance of 'the cemetery would be
spoiled as It was a large plot.
Aid. McDonald asked why this lodge
was allowed to run up such, a large
account when It had such a large
membership and apparently plenty of
funds. The mayor and city clerk were
instructed to Interview representatives
of the lodge to discuss settlement of
tho account and the question of returning a part of the plot to, the city.
Following a request from the police
commissioners the council rescinded a
motion passed at last meeting to have
Sergt. Alex Stewart's telephone taken
out. It was pointed out that with the
decrease in the force it was necessary
to have telephonic communication with
Sergt. Stewart's residence.
Fire Chief's  Report.
Chief Guthrie of the fire department
submitted his report for the month of
July. Three fire alarms had been
turned In during the month. He again
drewi the attention of the council to
the fact that the old Bartlett hotel
building on Josephine street was In a
dangerous condition. The request to
the owners to haye the building removed had not been complied with. A
resolution was passed to the effect that
the council would have the building
torn down as the, owners had not taken
any action. Chief Guthrie vouched
the opinion that, it would not stand
this winter's snow and that It was
dangerous for the public to pass it.
Power Plant Wage Increases. '
In accordance .with the wishes of
the employees of the power plant the
motion passed at last meeting to raise
the wages of two operators was rescinded and a 10 per cent increase will
be given to all the employees.
Aid. McDonald, chairman of the railway committee, stated that his committee had decided not to recommend
an increase in salary for F. C. Ingram.
City Electrical Engineer Thomas was
asked to give an account of the repairs required to the street railway
track on Baker stret. He said that the
work of fixing the track alone would
amount to $315 and that It would cost
$1800 to put the street in shape. He
pointed out that it was impossible to
start repairs without going to considerable expense and that something had
to be done before the coming winter.
The council decided that the present
financial condition of the city would
not allow the expenditure required to
put the street and track ien propr condition and that it would be necessary
to fix the worst places.

DAY FRIDAY
Only 550 Chautauqua All-Program Admissions Are to Be Disposed of
by Committee.
At an enthusiastic meeting of the
local Chautauqua committee held last
night it was decided to have Friday as
season ticket day. There are only 50

taken off sale. A special price is made
to soldiers In uniform, returned soldiers, their wives and the wives of
soldiers now overseas.
Chautauqua opens In Nelson Monday, Aug, 19, and It is very probable
that all the tickets will bo disposed
of several days in advance of tho opening. The elaborate program which the
Chautauqua presents this year insures
a large atendance. There has been a
much larger demand for tickets all
over the country than the supply could
satisfy. In Edmonton there was such
an urgenco for them that on tho second day of the Chautauqua many ticket holders were offered $5 for their
tickets.
People in over 250 towns in western
Canada have been delighted this summer by the Chautauqua program which
is given by the leading thinkers from
all over the world. The best of musical talent will delight you with their
patriotic music as well as their selections from the classics. The lecturers
are giving messages from government,
trench, training camp and home. Edward F. Trefz, a member of the United States food administration board,
brings a message that the committee
members state alone Is worth the price
of a season ticket.
Season tickets may be obtained from
any of the local Chautauqua committee. F. W. Sterling has charge of the
ticket sale. Tickets may also be obtained from W, E. Wasson at the city
hall.
A third of the number of tickets
obtainable have already been promised.
F. J. Boles Is chairman of the advertising committee and not W. S.
King, as stated yesterday.
