Sinca the middle of last week the German armies in Flanders daily havo Ibeen trying1 to wrest from the British the territory taken from them in the recent big offensive of Field Marshal Haig.

There still Is no indication of the time set, by Field Marshal Haig for the renewal.of his efforts to press on< 'ward and cut the Ostend line, but he is steadily keeping- up his pounding ■of the German trenches with his masses of artillery of all calibres. Although the German war office as sorts that In Tuesday's fighting along the western bank of the Meuse river in the Verdun sector, the Germans captured a comparatively long line of trenches, the French official statement makes no mention of this and asserts merely that violent artillery fighting and spirited patrol engagements oc curred. While .{tritVth rC«cV French nltVcir continue their bombing operations against Germany's base at Zeebrugge and points of military importance behind the lines, the French aviators are keeping up their attacks on German towns and cities In reprisal for the shelling by German aircraft of the open town of Bar le Due.

"In criticizing the food controller," said MY. Black, "it should be remembered that had ho been appointed six months earlier and had he beei^ able to perfect plans and organization the whole task would have been a simple one to handle, but as it la he has been asked not only to deal with'a complicated situation, but also to do so at a season when food production of the Dominion Is at Its maximum and when problems call for a nlmmedlate solution. It Is not easy to find remedies offhand for abuses that have gone unchecked for years with our economic system." Mr,-Black said that until every "part of the Dominion had been considered it would be Impossible,, to state what the final policy or the fond controller's ofllce would be, .' j£j Number the Lowest Since Month of February GERMAN CLAIM AS TO LOSSES DENIED Aggregate for the World is Two-Thirds of That Huns Announced (By Associated Press.)

S. Are Detailed for Inter-Island Service. MANILA, Oct. 3.—Seven German vessels seized in the Philippines at tho outbreak of the war, have now been detailed to inter-island service by the United States government, These vessels are to be used in relieving the shipping famine in the Islands. With increased prosperity due to war demands for Philippine products and the withdrawal of several Inter-island vessels for more profitable foreign runs, the shipping situation in the Philippines In the past two years has gradually grown critical. The'use of the German steamers will make possible the movement of thousands of tons of products now tied up. ' Jt will not, however, solve tho export problems of local producers. Ships calling at Manila and other Philippine ports are scarce, cargo space Is difficult lo obtain while freight rates are sky high. The better grades of sugar, tobacco, cigars, hemp, copra and embroidery, which arc commanding high prices in the United Slates, can pay these rates, but other products suffer. In Lollo there is still stored 80,000- tons of low grade sugar, worth, per- ; haps, fihree iccnts a pound mi tho American market. It will not be accepted as freight for loss than that figure as sugar rates to New York arc about $65 a ton. Unless the govern mriii intervenes an economic catastrophe is feared.

(By Daily News Leased Wire.) FORT WILLIAM, Ont., Oct. 3.— There have been received at the head of the lakes up to date 370,000 tons of anthracite coal this year, as compared with 386,000 tons of the same coal unloaded here during the whole season of navigation In 1916. With almost two months and a half of navigation yet to come, this figure looks extremely favorable, especially considering lhat In 1915 the figures were much smaller, but In that year the largest stock on record was held over from 1914, which accounts for the lower tonnage received. The most serious aspect of the hard coal situation, however, Is the high price of bituminous coal, which sells here now at $9 per ton as compared with $5.50 and loss In other years. At this price, the demand fur hard coal has Increased enormously from consumers who formerly used soft coal exclusively, but who now find it more economical to pay the extra dollar per ton for the superior burning qualities of the anthracite whenever it can be substituted. Of the 370,000 tons received this year not more than 100,000 tons remains in store at Fort William nnd Port Arthur, the) balance having already been shipped to western, points. „_„ _1_ Discovery Made at Point on Railway Noar Fort William—Robbery the Motive.

Ballantyne of .Montreal as minister of public works, and the announcement that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is considering retire- meat from the leadership of the Liberal party has suddenly revived interest in the political situation at the capital. New Developments are expected im- mediately, but cabinet changes may not come as rapidly as expected. Tho inclusion of Col. Ballantyne in the ministry was made easy by the circumstance that the public works portfolio was vacant. The post of solicitor-general could be as expeditiously filled because Hon. Arthur Melghen Is performing the role of secretary of state and solicitor-general. The other portfolios are all occupied and new appointments must be preceded by tho resignations of ministers. The Ottawa Evening Journal says It is expected tho announcement will be made this week of the resignation from the government of Hon. Dr. W. J. Roche, minister of the interior, and his appointment to the civil service commission. This cannot be definitely confirmed tonight. Hon. T. W. Crothers, minister of labor, it Is believed.

Winston Spencer Churchill, minister of munitions, speaking at a luncheon given in his honor today by the Ald- wlch club, said: « "We at this moment are actually In, the sternest phase«ofi the war. We are entering the phase in which the convulsion of nations will be tho most intense and when the fruits which nre gathered and gained may be won for ever or tmprovidently cast away.

"Thousands- of lives were lost early in the war because of Ineffective work in the air. And, by the way, it is mostly the British who make the air raids. The Germans seldom do it. I am told it was the wonderful ability of the Canadians in map making and aerial photography that has made the British advances so successful. The points have been mapped ont one afternoon and raids made next morning.- The result, is that everyone knows; where he is going.

It is suggested that should Sir Wilfrid Laurier definitely decide, in the course of the next tew dnys, to retire, a new political situation would result which* might affect to some degree the plans of those who aim at the organization of a union government. There may he a disposition to wait and see what happens. That Sir Wilfrid has not up to the present moment resigned is certain. The Liberal leader left today for Montreal, where he will confer with the prominent members of the Liberal party. He plans to spend Monday and Tuesday of next week in Toronto. Close personal friends of the opposition leader assert tonight that lie will not retire this side of an election. Others are disposed to think that be will and thnt a Liberal convention will be called to name a successor. Tbe announcement by Hon. .1. A.

PARIS, Oct. 3.—The official communication issued by the war office tonight reads: "The day was relatively calm, it was marked only by artillery actions north of the Alsne and both banks of the Mouse. "Belgian communication: In the course of the last 48 hours our artillery has shelled tho enemy cantonments and communications and replied to bombardments directed against similar establishments on our front. Today violent bomb fighting supported by an intense bombardment north of Dixmudc ended to our advantage. In the last two days our airplanes carried out 47 flights, including several night bombing operations, In reprisal for the bombardment of our rear areas." ENTERS CRITICAL PHASE OE WAR (Continued from Page One.) saved them, and they would invite us on the morrow of such a fatal peace to become friends and to cultivate commercial relations. "I say," continued Mr. Churchill, it is our opinion at the end of the third year of the war that under no circumstances will we accept a solution of that kind. It would be a terrible blunder, worse than any crime, to make peace before the vital objective is accomplished. If the Germans became, us it were, a grown-up nation like the liberated and emancipated democracies of the world as a result of the hard lessons of the war, then there would be peace again In the world—a real enduring peace— but if the war ended in an inconclusive peace, England would never rest tinder the prevailing conditions. Everyone will say that 'this matter must be finished, and everyone, equally with the United States, will never rest until a definite decision one way or the other Is obtained." Must Grimly Stick On Mr. Churchill proceeded to emphasize the necessity of grimly sticking on. He pointed out that we might cast away the prize at the moment when we only had to grasp it. That had happened twice in his experience of war. Once he saw it at Spion Kop, and again in the case of the Dardanelles, when one effort more would have secured completo results, but nil was nllowed to be lost in hopeless and object ruin. Me asserted that if we took the necessary vigorous offensive measures there was no reason why all dangers and privations could not be overcome. He was convinced that we still retain the power to snlve every difficulty and emerge triumphantly from the perils with which we are surrounded. Mr. Churchill declared thnt the great feature of the last six months had been the chock on the German submarine campaign against Great Britain, it had failed to hamper our economic life or military- action or to cut us off from groat reinforcements from America. In February and March last most elaborate surveys were made over the whole field of our economic and military life, with a. view to ascertaining whsit would be our rapacity for continuing the war on the basis of heavy and continuous submnrine sinkings. It was found that we should bo able to continue the war If necessary, and carry across tho sea food to maintain ourselves for a period so long thnt other decisions would certainly intervene before It expired, lie had also lately had the pleasing experience of increasing his figures after writing up tiie scale of munition activity. Submarinism Repulsed "It is loo soon," he continued, "to say that submarinism has been defeated. We do not know In what novel way It will be renewed or how soon counter measures iiRainst those novel forms may become effective. Bill it is not too soon to say that the second great German submarine campaign against these islands, which is to us tiie vital factor against which all else stands on a different looting, has been checked and even repulsed. It is not too soon to recognize the immense exertions of our sailors and the admiralty in coping with the great difficulty of the situation. "Our capacity to wage war is unimpaired. The submarine has been powerless to affect it. Tile reserves of food of tills country are tar greater than at the beginning of tho submarine warfare. On the Soinme front our artillery fired in a. fortnight many thousands of tons of shells. During the present offensive of less than three weeks the tonnage of shells fired hns been double that of the whole Somme battle. Next year the power of our artillery will, despite the submarine, undergo another great increase. "The allies are united in the confidence that they shall not fall. But It should bo remembered that this confidence is shared by the Germons hence, their desperate efforts to ter rorize our cities; hence, their efforts to drive back our soldiers. They know that the British aro the vital factors in the war, that this Empire stands nlone between them and victory. This Empire is a force which cannot be broken, a force which will be made slronger by trial and Will grow in Intensity as the months pass."

CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN REPULSED Churchill Claims Capacity of Britain to Wage War Unimpaired by U-Boats. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Oct. 3.—Winston Spencer Churchill, speaking at a luncheon in London today, said It was too early to suy that the submarine campaign has defeated, but it was not too soon to say that this vital attack on the country had been checked, even repulsed, The capacity of the country to wage war, declared the, minister, was unimpaired, the armies had been supplied on an ever-In creasing high level of equipment and the reserves of food were greater than before the attack began. During the 23 weeks of the present offensive, the tonnage of shells hurled against the German positions had doubled that pf the whole Somme battle, while during the last and culminating week, It had been four times that of the same period in tho Somme operations.

CCTMW True Economy Lies in Wise Spending TRUE economy is not in denying ourselves the necessaries of life or even some of the so-called luxuries. The housewife who sets a too skimpy table runs the risk of impairing the health of her family and retarding the growth of her children. This means doctors' bills and an underdeveloped citizenry, which is in itscif the worst kind of waste. If the family attempts to cut down on shoes and clothing below their legitimate needs the result is loss of self-esteem and often rosults in sickness. This means loss of time, doctors' bills again, and lowered efficiency. Just now the world demands that every one shall produce something and produce the maximum of whatever useful thing they are doing. Tho husband or provider who thinks it wise to ask his family to live in poor quarters, without modern comforts and conveniences; who refuses to buy a piano for his daughter's musical instruction and entertainment; who denies his son the opportunity to go to high school or college and who attempts to put the entire family on what he terms a "war time basis" is making the most serious mistake possible. He is actually guilty of what might be termed a moral crime, because he is driving the young folks away from home for entertainment and lowering tho living standards of his family. He thereby helps to lower the living standards of the entire country, and you canndt lower a country's living standards without giving that country a serious setback and placing it under a groat handicap in the world struggle. No! This is no time for hoarding. Economy does not mean penury. Neither does patriotism mean "panic-stricken." Keep your head. Live decently. Don't talk in a nervous strain.

THURSDAY, OCT. 4, 1917. THE FIRST LIBERAL MEMBER OF UNION CABINET. Charles C. Ballantyne of Montreal Is the first Liberal to be taken into Sir Robert Borden's cabinet, In pursuance of the premier's plan of organizing a government representative of the people of Canada who are united ou the question of carrying out u vigorous wln-the-war policy, with complete and wholehearted enforcement of the Military Service bill. Mr. Ballantyne takes the important portfolio of minister of public works. he is well fitted for It. For some years he acted as one of the harbor commissioners for the port of Montreal, a position to which he was appointed by tbe Laurier government in 4907. While acting as a harbor com- Inlssioner. he gained valuable experience In public works construction nnd administration. He is prominent in Montreal business circles and has taken a leading part in support of the win-the-war movement. He is one of the men who have thrown aside party considerations in order to strengthen Canada's war administration against the forces which would destroy it. First call for those In Medical: Class "A" of Class 1 under the Military Service act will be issued Oct, 13 and will give a reasonable time in which men must report. With the call so near at hand it behooves bachelors and childless widowers between the ages of 20 and 34 to go before the doctors at the earliest possible moment and ascertain their physical status. If they are in Class "A" they can then make arrangements either to ask for exemption or to leave civilian life. Bola Pasha had credits in the United States of $1,600,000 for _ pro- German and anti-war activities on this continent. Germany has always had plenty oC money to use in devious ways in attempts to corrupt secretly the sentiment of entente countries with the hope of causing a slackening of their efforts to win the war. German money by the million has been used to fight the carrying out of war policies, to fight selective draft, to finance peace and I. TV. W. movements and in countless other ways to bring influence to bear In favor of Germany. WHAT THE PRES8 IS SAYING | British Casualties. British casualties for last week totaled over 23,000. While this is about 4000 less than the one preceding, it equals the northern loss in the great battle of Gettysburg in 4863, which has been acclaimed as one of the the world's greatest contests.—Hamilton Spectator. Spirit That Wins. A Dartford, England, fanner recently advertised thnt he had several acres of cabbages which could be had free of charge, simply for the asking. It is ■x spirit like this which will enable England and her allies to win the war. The example of this English farmer may be commended to some farmers on Long Island and elsewhere who plough under vegetables because they could not get what they deemed a reasonable price.—New York World. GERMANY CAN SAY GOOD-BYE TO KAIO-CHAU. ''. A" despatch recording the decision of Japan to abolish the military administration of Tsing-tau states that It Is significant that the status quo of that place has not been changed since the Japanese and. British conquered it from the Germans early in the war. ' It Is difficult to see what signlfi canse lies in that fact. Until the war ui;.ovSr>' ithd-Tpeace terms have* been* signed there will be no formal change in territorial stntus. The fact that such a change has not yet been made In Tslng-tau or Kaio-chau, of which Tsing-tau Is the port.Mias no bearing on the future disposition of the territory. Kalo-chau will not he returned to the Germans. It was wrested by threats of force from China by Germany, which desired to establish a naval base In the China sea in order to strengthen its power In the Far East. Ah a result of the war it has lost this base and Great Britain and Japan will see that it does not regain it, either by negotiations at a peace conference or by force of arms. The allies do not intend lo allow Germany to become a disturber of conditions in the Far East again if they can avoid it. A VICTORY FOR THE RADICALS IN RUSSIA. "The Russian democratic conference has gone on record as favoring a coalition government for Russia, but It declares thnt from such a coalition the bourgeolse and the constitutional democratic parties must be excluded. The decision looks like a victory for the radicals who are fighting Keren- fiky and to whom the premier has thrown down the guage. The bourgeolse party, as Its name indicates, represents the middle class of Russian people. The constitutional democrats stand for the establishment of a strong constitutional government bnsed on stern enforcement of law and order. Just what effect the decision of the conference will have is as doubtful as the effect of any other political development in Russia at this time. The whole country is politically in the melting pot. One thing certain is that, while the extreme radicals may triumph for a time and bring the country to ruin, ultimately the moderate element will prevail. CONSERVING OF FOOD IS BLOW TO ENEMY WASHINGTON, D. C—"That our enemies on the other side of the fence are fighting our plan, is one of the best recommendations that plan can have, and to me the most significant sign ns to the value of food-pledge week is the fact that the pro-Germans here have recognized its importance and are fighting It hard." This statement was made by Dr. R. L. Wilbur, president of Stanford university and head of the food conservation division of the United States food administration, while discussing the antagonism of the Prussian propagandist to the coming campaign to line up the American people in the interests of food conservation, ) f aj( Evidences of his statement, Dr. "Wilbur declares, are brought to light daily from all parts of the county, and in the moHt subtle ways. , "If you sign the pledge card, your home will he invaded later and the goods you have canned will be taken away." "It Is a trick of the government, whose officials will requisition all your preserves." Among the negro people of the south the. propa gandlsts have been circulating i rumor that the intention is to take food away from the negroes and give it lo the whites. Even the pro-Ger- man baker employee has been charged with doing his bit for the kaiser by burning the bread In his charge. Dr. Wilbur believes that attacks like these can be easily overcome, once group of fighting American women line up and Insist on food conserva tlob. This they will do by enlisting In the food administration during the week of Oct. 21. "Their chief significance." he concludes, "Is to show that the pro-German propagandists realize, as well as we do, thnt a huge American 'food conservation army* will be the biggest thing in American history, and Will test whether or not a democratic people can organize themselves sufficiently to prove their form of government worth fighting for." Fate of Austria-Hungary is Sealed Although Uncle Sam has not declared war on Austria it is not likely that the present situation between the two powers can last much longer. It was the dismissal from the United States of Ambassador Dumba, the Austrian representative, that, lit the fuse, that led to war with Germany. Up to the present time no American soldier has fought with-an Austrian soldier, and therefore the final step has not been taken. Still, no American, soldier has fought with a German soldier. For all practical purposes th'e United States is at war with Austria. The absence of a formal declaration Is a -detail. If Germany loses, Austria loses, and the United States is trying to make Germany lose. For a considerable length of time there was a disposition to make a distinction between Germany and Austria. Germany was supposed to -be the wicked partner, and Austria the reluctant victim. The New Emperor's Chance Nominally, Austria began . the war with the ultimatum to Serbia. Since then it has been established that Austria was governed by Germany. When the old Austrian emperor died, and his grandnephew came to the throne It was supposed that some peace overtures might be made. The present emperor of Austria was not a pro-German. In the earlier weeks of his reign he seemed to make It plain that he was running his own empire. Ministers who had shown a healthy independence of Berlin were promoted. It was hinted that the new emperor was ready to make a separate peace, especially ns Austria had been considered not as an active foe In London and Paris. This was the time when the war might have been ended by the emperor of Austria. Austrians had not killed British or French subjects. There was 'no hatred against Austria". He Sticks to Germany In the past few months the situation has changed The new emperor has thrown In his lot unreservedly with Germany. He has made It plain that the central empires will sink or swim together. The reason is, probably, that his troops were so hard pressed by the Italians that he found It necessary to pay for German help, and Ger- man help would be forthcoming only if he was ready to surrender his own judgment to that of the Prussian staff and follow all the orders sent to him from Berlin. The emperor has staked everything on a throw. If the central powers win; lie will win, In a moderate way. If they lose, he loses all. The result of Austria's adherence to the German plans is that Britain, France and Italy have announced that the war camiot -end' without the dismemberment of Austria, The ramshackle empire must be dissolved into its constituent unitsH and If their plans are fulfilled, Austria will become a mere duchy or principality. Austria Must Suffer An announcement to this effect was made In. New, York recently by Henry Franklin Bouillion, a Frenchman of English education, who spoke for the •allied governments. Previously Arthur Balfour had said that the plans of the allies did not contemplate a partition, of Austria. This statement did not please Italy, which desired a considerable slice of territory now claimed by Austria. After Balfour's statement there was a conference with British, French and Italian representatives, and the result was that they came to an" agreement concerning Austria. Henceforth, no British or French statesman will arise and say that the dismemberment of the Aus- tro-Hungarian kingdom Is not an object in the war.- From now on Austria will be regarded as an enemy even as Germany is regarded, and plans will be made for dividing the empire according to nationality and also according to the demands* and needs of Italy and Serbia and Rumania, .- To Be Divided The division may and will take place with regard to nationalities. Austria- Hungary is'mavde up, Imperially, from a number of races that detest the domination of the German at Vienna. Bohemia, for instance, the richest and most important principality in the empire, is neither Austrian nor Hungarian. In Hungary there are influential, even controlling, elements that, given a fair show at' the ballot box, would repudiate both Hungarians and Austrians. There Is also the powerful tribe of Poles which dream of a revival of their nation. The entente powers, but especially Britain, France and Italy, have pledged themselves to carry on the war until all these aspirations are accomplished. They say that one of the conditions of peace is the dismemberment of the Austro-Hun- garian empire.. Thus Austria has put her head in the noose nnd has made it Impossible, to conclude a separate peace with the allies that does not contemplate the destruction of her empire.—Toronto Mall and Empire. A Sanctuary in Old London By the way, what have oppositionists who claimed that Premier Borden introduced selective draft "as a political move" and,with no intention of enforcing it, to say now? Quebec would not object to Sir Wilfrid LauTier's resignation providing It could secure ns leader of the opposition and controlling the Liberal! machine .someone else who would be, equally willing to carry out its wishes. '" Winston Churchill's speech on the manner In which Great Britain has fought thuB^Kibmarine menace puts the situation clearly before the public of the entente countries. While, as Lord Northcliffe says, the situation is serious, Great 'Britain has shown so much foresight and the navy'has done such splendid' work that any possibility of Germany winning the war by means ^ of its U-boats has been completely % ARKANSAS CROP OUTLOOK BRIGHT AKADELPHIA, Ark.—A crop report by A. E. Ferguson, a farm agent of Clark county, Ark., Is indicative of the optimism which pervades farming communities in this state. In part tho report is ns follows: "All corps nre above the average throughout the country, especially the corn crop. Wherever 1 have been the farmers are building new corn cribs. As to cotton, it has not been infected by boll weevil and promises to far surpass in quantity and quality the crop of last year. The bean, pea, watermelon, peanut and Irish potato crops are prolific. Recent rains have Wonderfully helped the gardens. The wheat acreage will be doubled this ■fall. It is gratifying to note that so much interest la being taken in canning fruits nnd vegetables. There will be five times as much canned as was canned last year. "Tho farmers have plenty of money and are able to secure more through an excellent Farm Loan association, So, on the whole, Clark county farmers are facing the hest year in their history." It is long vacation. Most of the judges are out of town, and the machinery of the law is silent. Barristers, even the most junior of, the outer Bar, have fled from the Temple. His learned brothers have reverted from jurisprudence to humanity so far as -fo cast, trout flies ^d^BKoQtr grouse. The famous chambers of the chancellors — Lyndhurst, Cottenham and Campbell—in King's Bench walk are as dingy ns when Tidd discoursed upon his mysteries of special pleading. The ancient dining halls echo to no learned steps. The wine cellars are locked and spiders spin upon the glass certificates of age. The ghosts of Lamb's beloved lawyers have the old Benchers terrace to themselves o' nights. By day the patter of civilian feet serves only, to accentuate the desolation of cobblestones and flags. They were lonely enough these long vacations before the war. They are lonelier now, but it is a loneliness with a difference. A few years ago the courts and passages of the Inns were mute and somnolent in tho mere cessation of toil. Today there Is something spiritual In the stillness of the place. The gardens of tiie Inner Temple are a solitude. They have been trodden into the semblance of a little battlefield. The spots where one of the lords justices used to plant the traditional roses of York and Lancaster have been rutted nnd furrowed with the tramp of new Knights Templar many of whom will never return from the Holy Land of Flanders. The dusty chambers are empty of all effective life. On a doorstep here and there a couple of clerks stand listless and indecisive as animals on the eve of hibernation. Behind a dirty window In Pump court a gray head rests upon a hand and broods over dogeared documents on a grimy desk. High above, among the swaying foliage of a plane tree, stands a sundial with its warning: Shadows we ore, and as shadows we pass. Below it shimmering leaves solid sympathetic shadows to the flagstones, The words of the dial seem CUTOVER LANDS FOR SHEEP HERDS MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.—More than 3,000,000 acres of cutover and waste land In northern Minnesota, Wisconsin nnd Michigan will be, available to the sheep raisers of the country at an expense of taxes only, says the Journal, as the result of plans completed by the Civic and Commerce association, Minneapolis; Wisconsin Advancement association and Upper Peninsula association of Michigan, announced fob lowing the close of the Great Lakes convention In Chicago.

Y.—Slav interests In this city are protesting against the economic exploitation of Bohemia for the benefit of the Teutonic arms. A statement issued by the. Slav press bureau points out that a conference of Austrian, German and Hungarian representatives was held In Vienna in August to arrange for distribution and interchange of food supplies. "It appears that Germany will gain most as the result of this conference," says the statement.. "Hungaria had to yield a part of its grain crop and Aus. trla a part of its corn and barley. In return for these concessions Germany agreed to supply Hungary with a certain amount of imported fish and Austria with an amount of imported butter and cheese. Hungary, which up to the present, sent only 8000 head of cattle to Austria per month, agreed to send 30,000 head in the period beginning Aug. 1 and ending Sept. 15. It is not reported what concessions Hungary will get^n return; nor Is it known what number of cattle will be supplied after the expiration of the above - period. "The official communications further warn the population against unwarranted optimism concerning the supply of foodstuffs, for the results of the present harvest are not. very favorable. It appears that the army is suffering from Inadequate supplies of oats, for the minister of war recently announced that it would pay a bonus of five crowns per metric ton of oats to all farmers delivering the same into the hands of the military authorities before Sept. 31. The maximum price of oats is 44 crowns per metric ton, while 49 crowns was offered for this quick delivery. While Hungary agreed to supply Austria with 30,000 head of cattle, Bohemia is being robbed by Austria in the most shameless manner. From June 21, 1916 to Jan. 1, 1917, 133,945 head of cattle were requisitioned In Bohemia. From Jan. 1, to July 27, 1917, 221,135 head of cattle were carried out of tbe Bohemian districts of the kingdom of Bohemia. Altogether the farmers of the Bohemian districts were compelled to supply 355,080 head of cattle. From this number only 49,- 243 head were kept for the Bohemian people. But even this is insufficient for the wholesale robbers of Vienna, who recently ordered the farmers of Bohemia to furnish 70,000 head of cattle per month. This systematic plundering of the kingdom of Bohemia Is not limited to cattle, but other products are requisitioned and carried out of the country. In the year 1916-17 to the present harvest, the following requisitions were made In the Bohemian districts: Wheat, 8793 carloads; corn, 9217; barley, 12,920; oats, 12,910; bran, 450; total, 44,290 carloads. In the same period 20,711 carloads of potatoes were requisitioned. For these the government paid the farmers 7 to 9 crown per metric ton and later resold the same potatoes when partially frozen to the Bohemian people at the rate of 28 crowns per metric ton. "Toward Moravio. which is also populated by Bohemians, the government has been following a similar attitude. It seems to be determined to ruin these people completely. In the single month of July no less than 27,- 565 head of cattle were requisitioned in Moravia, and the people In that province were ordered to supply 40,- 000 head of cattle per month thereafter. It is not a necessity which has compelled the Austrian government to make these enormous requisitions. In Hungary no requisitions have taken place to the present day, and the products of the soil nre bought and sold on the open market." WAR SUBJECTS AS * ■ REGULAR COUR8ES OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—School authorities in some parts' of Oklahoma have decided to teach war subjects as parts of the regular courses. In Oklahoma City, Superintendent Whiteford has ordered that war history be taught in the high school and eighth grade. A close study, of changes in the geographical relations of the various warring countries will also be taught. Current magazines and periodicals will be used as texts and It Is also probable that the relations between the United States and Germany will be Included in the course of instruction. The college and high schools of the state have furnished .much material for the new national army. States Superintendent R. H. Wilson asserts that the records of attendance at the recent opening of the state normal schools show that there 1b a marked falling off on account of the war. Not only have many of the prospective malo students enlisted' but a number of the young women havo either entered some branch of tho war service, or have taken, the places left vacant by the men who have entered the army. Mr. Wilson says that the teachers have, in proportion, furnished more soldiers than any other profession in the state. A number of tho high schools and colleges of the state have dropped the study of the German language from their courses. In Oklahoma City the German language study has not been eliminated, but Its study is to be discouraged by instructors, not only on patriotic grounds, but for the reason that they consider* the language of no commercial value under present conditions. The Osage Indian youths of Oklahoma have a cavalry organization and are using the buildings and grounds of the Osage school at Pawhuska for drilling purposes.

OUTHELDS FORM f INAL DEFENSE LINE Much Depends Upon Their Ability in World's Series—Giants and White Sox Well Matched. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—The outfields of the clubs playing^in a world's series form the final lines of defense and much depends upon the ability of the trio of players in the short but classic contest staged each season for the baseball championship. Defensively these outfielders must be fleet of foot, sure catchers of long driven fly halls and spinning grounders which have penetrated through the infield lines. In addition, they must possess a powerful throwing arm, an accurate eye for distance and direction and quick but sound judgment regarding choice of players when such emergencies arise. Considered broadly the outfields of the Chicago Americana and»the New York. Giants which are to plfc pniwess in the coming world series, meet these requirements better than those of any two teams which havel met In slmila series in some past seasons. There may have Heen single trios which classed as high or higher, but it is extremely doubtful if two world aeries clubs have entered the big clash in many years move evenly matched in high grade outfield combinations thon those of the Sox nnd the Giants. Are Star Aggregations. Colteetively nnd individually the guardians of the outer lines are star aggregations and the all-round play of these combinations is expected to bo a feature of the struggle. The very mention of the names of Jackson, FelBCh, ■T. Collins und Leibold for the Chicago club nnd Burns, Kauff, Robertson, Thorpe and Murray for the New York team is sufficient to start controversy among the fans. While there is some possible doubt as to how Manager Rowland will align his outfield in the opening game at Chicago Saturday, it is likely that the trio will consist of Leibold, right field; Felsch, centrefield, and .Jackson, left field. The Giants' trio will consist of Robertson, right field; Kauff, centrefield and Burns, left field. Based upon their records for the season It would appear that Robertson had a slight edge on Leibold in a comparison of the work of these two players in the right field. Robertson outranks his rival both at bat and in fielding averages, while In the matter of speed on the bases and stolen bags, it is about an even break. Leibold has not played in as many games as Robertson, but both have seen sufficient service to -establish their standards. Of the two, the New York player is thought by some critics to be a better thrower and a more dangerous batter in a pinch, especially in driving out extra base hits. Exciting Struggle Certain. There should be an exciting struggle between Burns and Jackson for honors In left field as both, are players of exceptional talent. Theiv is but a point or two difference in their batting' and fielding averages and each is a star in offensive and defensive play. Burns 1s apparently a more successful base- stealer, leading Jackson in this feature of the game us woll as in the total number of hits and runs scored. Jackson is the more spectacular of the pair In play, both in his batting and fielding; but Burns is perhaps the more consistent. The White* Sox star is a batter of tremendous power once ho hooks the ball, with a tendency to- Ward right field hitting. Burns is the belter waiter at the plate; hits to either right or left in about equal pro-, portion and is a hapler batter to outguess from both the standpoint of the pitcher and outfielder. The Giants' left fielder 1b a tireless worker, apparently immune to injury, as his record of more than 450 consecutive games played shows. Felsch and Kauff, who will play centrefield for the Chicago and. New York clubs respectively, are two players who have sprung Into national baseball prominence in the past few years. Both are under 30 and have yet to reach the height of \their diamond career. Thero are few outfielders in the game today, however, who can excel these two in general value, and effectiveness both at bat and in the field. Each Is a .300 or better hitter; fields, every ball within-yards of his position and runs bases like, 'the ' proverbial '* (Continued on Page Eight) REVIEWS CRANBROOK roiATMUESTIi Important Recommendations Made by Committee—W. E. Scott Gives Advice to Farmers. (Special to The Dally News.) CRANBROOK, B.C., Oct. 4.—At the special meeting of the local Farmers' institute about 30 members and others gathered to hear W. E. Scott, deputy minister of agriculture for the province. The chair was occupied by President McPheo and before proceeding to the special matters of the day the secretary read a letter appealing to the fanners for assistance to a fund to restore and rebuild the devastated farms of Belgium, France, Serbia and other allied countries overrun by the Germans. This letter was from a committee of which Mr. Scott is chairman and commenting on it Mr. Scott pointed out that although the farmers were being appealed to from every side for one thing and another, yet he felt that could they see the complete ruin wrought In the districts spoken of everyone would be inclined to donate something. It was decided to give from the funds of the institute a small amount and the members were requested to add to this personally. At the close of the meeting a number of members subscribed. The committee appointed last winter to go into the potato question reported fully. Rev. Father Lambert has com' pleted a wide survey of the situation and his report was presented by Mr Hutchcroft of the committee, Father Lambert being absent on account of illness. The report states: "In studying the matter several questions arose, viz: "1. What are the facilities and the actual amount of potatoes grown for market in this district? "2. What were the general condl lions of the market? "3. What were the causes of these conditions? "4. What are the best ways and means of bettering them? "We found in considering the first question that this district is an ideal one for growing potatoes of excellent quality owlng'To the favorable condition of both soil and climate. The soil almost everywhere contains a consid* erable nmount of sand and, therefore, is quite light and not subject to a surplus of moisture. The climate is dry, but not too much so, nnd just suited to dry farming methods. Early frosts being exceptional and becoming more so enabling the farmer to practically always count upon a fairly good crop of potatoes of excellent quality If proper methods nre followed out. Condition of Market'.' /'..., ' l"As to the conditions'Of the''"'market, we must say they were uncertain. The local market is restricted to the larger centres such as tho lumbering and mining camps and the cities combined making only small and uncertain customers. The outside market Is mostly to be found In the province of Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and occasionally the west coast points of the United Slates but seldom. AH these points nre distant and the cost of transportation is a serious matter and tho competition of growers using modern methods is excessively keen and much to our disadvantage. Besides these markets are now undoubtedly prejudiced at least more against us than the quality of our potatoes according to letters appended and received from dealers both at home and in, the outside markets referred to above. "It is evident that the' farmers of this district have nobody to blame but themselves if their market is not all that could be desired. The gist of the complaints received is that the potatoes shipped are not sufficiently clean, are ungraded and Improperly sacked, thereby causing delays, bother and losses to both the dealers and producers. "If these errors could be rectified there would be no difficulty finding markets for all that the district can produce as it is attested by the letters attached hereto; one party alone asking for 150 carloads early this year provided they were graded and sacked in accordance with certain recommendations made to this institute In a paper read some months ago upon the subject. Recommendations Made. In conclusion, your committee is convinced that If the defects above mentioned were overcome there would be no difficulty in developing the potato business to the limit in our capability and we have decided to make the following recommendations, viz.: . "1. That tho farmers should be very careful about their soil and seed. "2. Irrigation where available must be used rather sparingly than to excess, they sny once in an ordinary summer., '3. That the farmers agree upon certain standards for both the potatoes and the packages and sell their output in accord with modern business methods under the auspices of their own Institute or some other suitable association; this, standard wonld be all the better if set or approved by the provincial government. "4. That the mstltuto, petition the government to have the official inspector of fruit authorised and in» structed to- Inspect potatoes sold by this institute and certify each shipment such inspection to he made while the potatoes are In bulk, when requested to do so. >. That this institute or its members get together and buy one complete set of potato grading and cleaning machinery and thoroughly test out the methods In use by tho eastern potato shippers. "Your committee has taken up the question of disposing of the Inferior grades and surplus stock and In doing so have under consideration several different schemes such ns tho manufacture of potato flour and the flaking and drying of potatoes and other vegetables as well as fruit of most all kinds, which can be done by the use of the same kind of machinery." . ' Mr. Seott Gives Advice. Mr. Scott, Bpeoking on the mHtter, said that there would be1 an inspector to certify ^standards of potato shipments from this district. The department had already, by request, placed inspectors In some districts last season and results had been good." Mr. Scott spoke of the need and use of the institute, urging stronger support by a\\ the farmers as only in this way coulij anything bo accomplished. He spoiie of-rthe opportunities for dry farming and ' dealing with the creamery he stated that some local phase of the question .might be Involved but as a stranger he could not understand why, as he was told, many farmers were. overworking their own butter, while the creamery was paying 45 cents for butter fat and running short. "Keep your creamery going tilt it fills the place It should in the community/1 he said. He felt strongly that this was a mixed farming district. Fruit for home use should be raised but commercial orcharding was a mirage that already had done great injury to real agriculture in some parts of British Columbia.

THE STORE FOR STYLE THE STORE FOR QUALITY SPEAKERS TALK ON BELGIUM AT MILAN MEETING MILAN, Italy—A large meeting has been held In the Carcano theatre with the object of collecting fundB toward providing for the needs of Belgium soldiers.on leave from, the front. Tho theatre wns crowded, more than 60 associations were represented and numerous banners wore displayed. Applause greeted the appearance of Slgnor Cuppa, member of the Italian parliament and of M. Volkaert at the speaker's stable. Numerous letters of support from persons unuble to be present were read. The announcement that among them was one from the two delegates from the Soviet, recently In Milan, was received with cheers for Mr. Kerensky. In the course of his speech, Slgnor Cappa deprecated the seml-hostillty Bhown at the mention of the two members of the Soviet. They were not, be said, among those who were afraid of being enlightened, nnd exclusion would not make their judgment any more conscientious. They were at one of tho most tragic phases of the war. < The result of the battles would decide whether thoBe who were, responsible for the terrible conflict should be punished or whether they should get off wlth'the mad hope of escaping with Impunity? What did their adversaries say? That tho war would .root solve thei< problems which It had aroused. What answer could they'return? That it was more doubtful if, instead, the revolution would succeed in solving tbe problems which it had raised up with such an impetus of hope in tbe minds of the Slav people. The parallel, however, was not a mir one. The revolution bad raised hopes and vital problems, while the war had resuscitated phantoms of hate which would he Interred again among tbe relics of a barbaric past. Slgnor Cappa went on to speak of Belgium and of that country's sufferings under German domination. They would, he said, hear more about that In the speech of M. Volkaert, who represented that Socialism which had not forgotten that to be international did not menu to watch tbe ruin of other countries unmoved and to make no effort to bring them help. That, ox- claimed Slgnor Cappa, wus not Inter- nallonallsm, but the betrayat of humanity. If he. might address a word to those whom he supposed to be In disagreement with him. it would not bo in the name of a party, and as an Itnlian, and be would say, did they hope the revolution was going to finish tho war? Ho and bis friends, too, had hoped for tbe sumo thing when tho first ory of revolt went up from I'clrogrnd. They hud been ingenuous, they had hoped that Belgium und Vienna would feel tho Influence of the red banners, Alas, said the speaker, here was one way of ending this war, except by war, and that was by a revolution In Berlin und Vienna. Charles I. and William II. wore safe on their thrones and those who thought they could promote rebellion In their kingdoms wore deluded; such people only grieved tho hearts of the women of Italy by describing, with refined cruelty, the horrors of the war. and did not save a single soldier but weakened their country in nn hour or danger. In that moment of tragic perplexity while tho armies of Austria and Germany were Invading Russian territory and Mr. Kerensky was condemning to execution those who refused to fight, DOCTOR SAYS • MIS THE !

Also at the best druggist in all British Columbia towns . ■'. they would return to the origin of their own Intervention and would listen to a speaker from a. little country which could not wait for a Stockholm conference to be free from invasion. To the Argonauts of peace from the Soviet they could almost say that the vastness of their territory was a sad privilege if it made thorn feel the sufferings of invasion loss. Addressing himself to M. Volkaert, the speaker then said that though his country was smaller it was heroic, Milan, whoso guest he was, saluted him, and would In the hour of triumph be worthy to enjoin with him his recovered liberty, because It would have shared in the Buffering and sacrifice. Slgnor Cuppa's speech, which hud Frequently boon interrupted with applause, roused the wholo audience to an excess of enthusiasm, and rising to their feet all those present acclaimed the speaker. M. Volkaert proceeded to describe the work which had boon set on foot for providing food and lodging for tbe homeless Belgian soldiers during their seven days' leave of absence from the front. Of nil the nations in tbe war only the Belgian soldiers and the French soldiers who belonged to tho invaded districts wore unable to correspond with their families; and it was of course impossible for them to return to their homes on leave. Numerous families In England and France had made a sort of adopted son of some Belgian soldier and bud welcomed him during his periods of leave. In spite of this, then' still remained many Belgian soldiers at the front who bad bad no leave since tbe beginning of the war. The general syndicate of Belgian worker-refugees in Prance bail taken the initiative in starting Ibis work which they had named "the leave of the Belgian soldier.'' Belgian refugees over military age working in Franco were gladly making a weekly contribution to tho funds for carrying on this work and they hoped for help from the allied countries. M. Volkaert concluded his speech by passing in review tho work uf tho international with regard to the outbreak of the war. For throe years, he said, the representatives of social democracy in Germany hud been voting credits which would servo to perpetuate the sufferings of Belgium. Xow after three yours of unutterable suffering, the proletariat rejected all idea of n hasty peace, a peace dictated by cowardice, and wished for ol peace of liberation which wonld put an end to militarism forever, would destroy all possibility of a repetition of savage German aggression against democratic Europe. He declared that peace could only come after tbe victory of the entente over Gorman militarism. He exhorted the workers to redouble their activity in tho making of arms and of all that was needed for the army. He also addressed an appeal to the manufacturers and tradespeople who had benefitted by the war to alleviate tho sufferings of the people during the coming winter. *«jlat»-T-f«.,»j«ii*MV. a.xs'»*•>•*> t ,«.*w » THEPA BARA .J.U "ilqr Double.

Canada has many more square miles of land than the United States and the problem of putting her land under crop and of getting her crop to elevators and tidewater, is always a giant's task. Figures from the Canadian Pacific railway's land department show that seven times an many Americana crossed the border this year to take up Canadian Pacific land as In 1816, and that these.new settlers bought three times as, much land.

Y.—The republic of Bolivia, under the regime of President Jose Gutierrez Guerra, inaugurated un Aug. lfi, appears, from reports received by Stanley H. Ro.se, cummer eiiil uncnt in charge of Hie district of Nee of the bureau of foreign and demesne commerce, to be organized with a view of placing the government up on a stable and progressive financial and economic basis. President. Guerra, as well as the members of the cabinet selected 1. him, possesses, according to United Slates Commercial Attache Montavon. from whom the reports come, qualifications particularly necessary for the accomplishment of the work in band, The now president was formerly minister of finance, and, in common with the former president, was an enthusiast on the ex ten tion of railways and the creation of new transportation facilities in the Interior of Bolivia. II was; at the proposal of Guerra, then manager and director of the Banco do la Nacion Boliviano, that the government of Bolivia issued its Valos de Aduuna, a species of custom of custom bouse bunds, through the Banco de la Nacion for the purpose of tiding the. government over the difficult period immediately following the outbreak of the European war.

Premature aging, mal-nutrltlon, etc., cause the flesh to shrink, lose its youthful plumpness and firmness. Tho skin then is too large Cor the flesh underneath; doesn't fit tightly and snugly as It used to—It wrinkles or sags. * It must be plain that to tighten the skin, make It fit the face perfectly In every place, will effectually remove the hateful wrinkles and bagglness. This Is easily and harmlessly accomplished by dissolving an ounco of powdered suxolltc In a half pint of witch hazel and using the solution us a face wash. The ingredients you can get at any drug store. The results are surprising. The skin immediately tightens, up, becomes firm and fresh as' in youth. Every wrinkle nnd sag Is affected nt once. ENORMOUS LOSSES ARE INFLICTED BY CANADIANS Writing of the fighting from St ■lulicn down to Inverness copse, a special correspondent of the Yorkshire Observer says: It was hard fighting by small bodies of British troops, making separate assaults upon these infernal pill boxes which the enemy has scattered about his advanced positions for the protection of isolated garrisons of machine gunners, and arranged In such a way that they are able to support each other, so that when ono of these forts is attacked the ground of approach is swept by bullets from other positions enfilading It. .. By great Individual courage and the leadership of young officers and noncommissioned officers, several of these concrete blockhouses wore captured yesterday, but others aro still holding out and form the advanced posts of German counter attacks launched against our men who have seized ground of vital importance to the enemy's main defense. i That is the situation in a nutshell, containing a lot of blood, a lot of hero- Ism and all the fate of many fine lads. Main Position Threatened The hardest ground to take and hold if there is any comparison in the severity of these battles, is that by Glencorse wood and Inverness copse, where the country rises to. clawlike ridges which hold the plains on our side in their grip. As I have said more than once, these heights, once wooded, but now all shot Into a tangle of fallen trunks, with stumps of trees sticking up out of the mangled earth, are the itatural barrier of the enemy's linos eastward which he must hold with all bis weight to keep the door shut against us. He is holding it with nil the weight he can spare in men and guns, and hurling his counter attacks against our men every time thoy make progress which threatens the main position. German Battalions Shattered Nevertheless, our troops gained yesterday a line which runs half way through Inverness copse and about Glencorse wood, and, the enemy has been severely shaken. That is a weak phrase for the real truth, which has led to the death of many German soldiers, the shattering of many best battalions under great gunfire, and to a human shambles which puts a stench upon the air around these foul- woodlands where his )"en are massed. But It Is good to use conventional words to hide the horror of things. One day when it is possible to get in and around Lens the veil will be torn, from human charncl house, or rather from human charnel houses which none of us may yet enter or see through the drifting smoke. 'i Yesterday I looked down on Lens and saw its roofless buildings and Its gaping walls, but I could only guess at the scenes which are hidden be low ground there in the tunnels where Germans assemble for their counterattacks against the Canadians, and to which they drag buck their dead and wounded. Those places must reek with the .smell of death und corruption for ihe losses of the Prussian Guard during the last few days and of other divisions who have come up against Ihe Canadians have been, I am told, and believe, enormous. Harder Than at Ypres The Canadians tell me that their troops have never had harder or more prolonged fighting, not even In their old days of the Ypres salient nor on the Somme. Every hundred yards of the ground they have taken— and during the last week or so they have ta> ken thousands of yards of open eoun. try and of ruined streets in and about the mining cities, until they have fore ed their way into Lens itself—have been contested against desperate fight ing and held against unceasing counter attacks, led by great bodies of picked German troops, supported by monstrous bombardments. Imagina - tion can. if It likes, picture tho slaughter Involved in all this to those German assault troops, because they have not succeeded in gaining their purpose and counter attacks like that In those numbers and In thnt strength are shattered when they do not succeed. Canadians' Grim Tenacity It is a wonderful tribute to the Canadians and to their grim tenacity that, after all tho repeated counter attacks against them, and after storms of fire from batteries which have increased in number every day, they hold their lines round Lens intact, as they stood on Aug. 15 to Hi, and have gained an entry Into the streets of Lens and swung up southwards with Increasing pressure. Lens is packed tight with German troops. They belong to the 4th guards division and latterly to the 1st guards reserve, the crack division of the German army, which had a months' rest In Cambral before being sent into this slaughterhouse of Lens. For although that city is tunnelled throughout, all the cellars being linked up and- strengthened with massive concrete, so that even heavy shells cannot pierce down to them, men cannot fight in tunnels if they are on the offensive, ii nd must gel out of them to make the ■ounter attacks. It is at those times that they suffer more hideously than In any other battle. Our airplanes are always watching for these assemblies. To take only one case out of many, they reported a mass of men in a certain square of Lens the day before yesterday. Our guns turned on to them, not only our field guns but our heavies, up to those howitzers who could hatter down a massive fortress after a few rounds. Men under tbe five such as those things send do not escape in great numbers. Most of them die, The Prussians in tho square of Lens were caught by this hurricane of fire, und before thoy could get into the tunnels many were blown to bits. ■ , Evening on Battlefield The water of the Souchez river was i blue as the sky, which was deep, bright blue above wispy clouds. A little light gllntod from the church tower, which a* shell has smashed off at the top. Perhaps some German officer was there staring through his glasses, or perhaps it -was only a bit metal caimht by the sun, A smoke barrage drifted densely acroBs tho northern part of th& city, and every now and then there came a short vicious hammering of machine guns to show that somewhere in those ruins men were alive and watchful. Then the guns got busy again, but In a slow, unhurried way. The enemy has a hate against the outer edge of Llevin, and every two minutes smote It with a great shell, which burst with big billowing smoke clouds and a flash which was followed by a low, sullen roar. He flung shells as big us this Into Ancre and Avion, but seem ed to rely on machine gun fire to barrage our lines nearest his own. Behind me, to the right, were some of our big howitzers, old friends of mine, whose voices I prefer at a mile or two distance. They turned up their base viols and played their Dead March. Gaps of Nothingness Perhaps it was their shells I saw smashing on to the German defense; Rosy clouds went up, and In those clouds the dust of red brick houses went up, too, leaving gaps of nothingness where tbe buildings had once been. There was a kite balloon in the sky behind me, with the wispy clouds, like white horse tails, all curled around It, and presently there came riding above it several coveys of airplanes, so that the sky was filled with their loud drone song. They flew round about Lens and only a few German "Archies" tried to strafe them with bursts of shrapnel. They flew not very high above the mining city, circling round and round like hawks before swooping to their prey. The guns were loud and shrill and sweet and clear above them a bugle sounded from some camp of ours, be hind the lines, among the cornfields, all gold and glowing in tbe evening light with a little shadow sleeping be side each stook, and it blow the even Ing retreat. It Is the first time I have heard a bugle play that call so near to the guns, and it stirred one's wits with a queer sense of emotion, as though its music belonged to the spirit world. Night Scenes The night closed down on the battle fields, but did not bring peace. Below the stars there were many strange lights and fires and sounds. A great bank of clouds was pierced with lightning so like shell fire, except for a long tremor of light, that men looked and wondered what devilry was on over there In the back areas. The devilry was round about. It was time for the German raiders to come out under the cover of darkness, and they came and dropped their bombs over quiet villages and among tbe corn fields and the bop gardens. The explosions came up with sharp flashes and gruff roars from; dark fields between black bolts of trees. From the earth bands of light stretch ed up, reaching up to the clouds and touching them with their finger tips. They felt their way for those flying raiders, groped about like bands in a dark room and then clasped each other. In the archway below their long, straight arms shrapnel glinted like confetti. Our anti-aircraft guns bad got their target.

Z.—The opening ot the Gilbert house in Colon recently was an event of considerable local importance in the work of charity under the auspices of the women of Colon and Cristobal. This historic landmark of Colon, a brick mansion of tbe early colonial style, stands in grounds adorned with handsome trees and Shrubs, among them a fine specimen of the Royal Polnciunu, bordering the eastern, shore of Limon bay and is easily accessible from tho twin cities. When the many changes planned in order to modernize Colon's shabby waterfront were under way, the fate of this building was a. matter of concern to many of the inhabitants, and a movement was started to have It. saved. The superintendent of the Panama railway, S. W,. Heald, took up tbe matter with the president of the railway, Governor Harding, and the out- omo of the negotiations wus the conclusion lo devote tho building to charitable work under the direction of tbe Cristobal Womens club, the oldest of the women's organizations on the isthmus, with other women's clubs affiliating In tho use of the building, It was decided to make the place a sort of dealing bouse for all the charities, a point at which relief work could be centred, and where all those needing help c uld go in the first Instance. The prominence of the house and Its well known location admirably adapt it.to tho purpose. It wus formally opened on the evening of Sept. 7. The Gilbert houso was so called In honor of the isthmian poet, James Gilbert, who once lived there. He was an employee of the Panama railway and wrote quite a. number of poems, among which his "San Lorenzo" has been widely quoted. The centring and consolidating of charity work in this place, affords a means of quick and convenient handling of cases needing help. Already Its'utility has become apparent, and the support of the community Is assured. It has held receptions for two hospital ships passing by, loading them with papers, magazines and gifts.

BLIND SOLDIERS WIN ATHLETIC EVENTS AT PUTNEY W. E. Cowen Mentions Work of St, Dunstan's and Quotes Example of Effect of Training. One of the most prized possessions of, W. E. Cowen, who Is in tho city In the course of his campaign lo enlist the sympathy and support of Canada for the National Instittute for the Blind. Is a clipping from the Daily Telegraph, dated July 13, 1916. It reads as follows: "A series of rowing matches in which the crews were drawn from the St. Dunstan's hotel lor blind soldiers and the Worcester college for the blind took place at Putney on July 12. The soldiers proved too good for their opponents In all events. Tho single sculls was won by Lieut. Baker, Canadians, the doubles by Lieut. Baker, Canadians, and Trooper Mathcson, Australian Light Horse; the pair-oared raco by Private Forbes, Royal Fusiliers, and Private Splnks, Shropshire Jjlghiti infantry,, ;andj the four-oared race by Private TaronCk, South Lancashire regiment; Private Street, Worcester regiment; Private Miller, Royal Naval division, and Trooper Shaw, 4tb dragoons." As instancing both the wonderful work St. Dunstan's is doing for blind war heroes and the wonderful spirit of these men, Mr. Cowen is mighty proud of this clipping. At St. Dunstan's there is a horizontal rail a few feet from the floor surrounding tho workshops, which serves as a guide for the handicapped heroes. One of the cheerful boys wrote the following limerick about it: At St. Dunstan's wo walk by a rail, Which we follow up hill and down dale; But whenever we stumble, We growl and wo grumble, And Ihe' words are not written In iBraillc" With all the iighlheartcd, cheerful attitude of the boys at St. Dunstan's, however, they tackle the purposeful things of life with grim determination, Mr. Cowen declares. St. Dunstan's teaches ever yse^dier who comes to It an occupation nt which he can be self- supporting all his life. With 350 mon attending the hostel, larger funds are •equlred to support It, and the Na- tlonnt Institute felt that Canadians would lie glad of an opportunity ofi contributing. The result Is Mr. Cow- en's presence in the city. A ta# day has been arranged for Friday, by the I. O. D. E, and Red Cross societies, and Mr. Cowen hopes that Nelson will respond as generously to this appeal as it docs to all others. REPORT ON U. S.

ATHENS, Oct. 3.—The Greek government holds that Greece Is at war, but some of the foreign governments, including tho United States are not yet clear on the status of Greece ns a belligerent. Officially the Greek authorities .are proceeding on a war basis; the army Is doing its share of fighting on tho Saloniki front; tho navy is chasing Austro-German submarines; all diplomatic relations with Berlin and other allied capitals have been broken and the ministers recalled. This establishes a de_ facto condition of war, but whether it is war In the sense defined by international law is still open to question. The difference is not only a technical one, but It is of much importance whether a country is, or is not, at war. Foreign governments are obliged to shape their relations to It, as at war, or not at war. Its soldiers and sailors, If taken prisoners by the enemy, are in much different relation if the country Is at war than If It is not at war. According to the Greek governmental view, tho existing Greek regime Is at war because It <ls the regime which Venlzelos brought from Snloniki. As Venlzelos had formally declared war at Saloniki, this state of war continues now that' he has transferred Ms regime to Athens. The stumbling block, however, is that -the Greek constitution says tbe king is the only one who shall declare war. To meet this requirement King Alexander made reference to the war In his speech from tbe throne, but the issue still remains as to whether this was a declaration of war or of a state of war, with all that formality which places Greece among the belligerent nations. Meantime, Greece has brushed aside the technical question by carrying on de facto warfare the same as any of the other fighting nations, and most of the allied governments have recognized her as a belligerent. A law just submitted to the chamber by the minister of war formally makes Aug. 1G, 1A16. as the date when Greece began hostilities against the central powers, which extends the war period back to the days of King Constantino. ^ more | bread and better bread" PURITV FLOUR The Brackman-Kcr Milling Co., Ltd, Agenjl Two of Our Customers Guessed the correct weight of the pumpkin, CO pounds.

ITALIAN AND SLAV RELATIONS IMPROVE ROME, Italy--A correspondent of the Secolo sends from Zurich an account of some statements made to him by Professor Marcovitch of the university of Belgrade and director of the Serbia, on tho subject of the recent indications of hotter feeling between the Italians and Slavs. The fact that Prof. Marcovitch Is said to the be In tho confidence of the Serbian government and in constant communication with Serbian official circles, makes his remarks all the more intorcsling. Tho signs of change in Italian public opinion toward tho ,Tugo-Sluv problem were, Prof. Marcovitch affirmed, followed with slncore pleasure in Slav circles. They, had always keenly regretted the shadow of Halo-Slav disagreement, which was tho more deplorable In that only tho enemies of both countries derived any benefit from It. A change In the general attitude of the two countries was therefore absolutely necessary, becuuse uf- tcr all they were allies and thoy should show a conciliatory spirit even when dealing with the most thorny problems. So far as he could judge of events in Italy from where he was, it seemed"'t6,■ Kim that the atmosphere was very fairly favorablo for a reconciliation of feeling, the first forerunner and sign of a definite political agreement. For his part, and so far as he was qualified to speak for his fellow countrymen, he might say that the change taking place In Italy had produced an excellent impression with the Serbians. The enlightened thinkers In the two allied camps should now take advantnge of tho new situation to bring about n real and lasting understanding. In his opinion, the principal evil from which arose profitless discussion was the mistaken way in which the problem had heen presented. The Italians and tho .Tugo-Slavs wore seldom heard speaking of the faetH which drew them closer and united them, but only too often of those thai aerated n ifligut._ s^amia jusm, They considered tho problem from a negative instead of a positive point of view. He would not inquire whose fault that was, and it would be useless to do so. .He would only try to see by what means a practical result would be arrived at.The principal condition for a rapprochement seemed to have been realized; the moment thnt Italy pronounced herself in favor of the idea of Jugo-Slav unity and took her stand in favor of "nationality," Italian policy was clearly defined and above nil criticism. Italian aspirations on the Adriatic appeared then in another light, and no insurmountable difficulty in the way of a reconciliation with the Serbo- Croatian-Slovene aspirations should exist. This was what he had always affirmed, declared Prof. Marcovitch, and what today he believed more firmly than ever. The times wore too serious for idle discussions. Austria- Hungary, with her fraudulent reforms, was threatening them, and if they saw In France nnd England (not to speak of America, who bad not even thought it necessary to declare war on Austria-Hungary) a tendency to temporize and consider tho preservation of Austria, it was because the Slavs and the Italians had done nothing to pie- vent this political dilettantism from depriving their national claims of all possibility of realization.
