LONDON, Aug. 27—British Wireless Service—British tanks uprooted a whole French village to stop tho lire of German machine guns from the houses, in thc recent allied offensive. The French troops' have been' Seriously hampered by tlie German machine guns In or on the tops of thc houses. Tanks were in the vicinity and a message was sent to them for assistance. These complied, but the Gorman machine guns wore too well protected to be knocked out by the fire from the tank gtins. Accordingly the tank commanders conferred at the far end of the village and decided ln a .hurried' impromptu tvar councl), to destroy tho village by sheer weight of metal. The tanks accordingly rammed house after house, bringing down tho machino guns, extricating themselves from the ruins of one house, then proceeding to the next. In this way thc village was captured without a single British casualty and at once occupied' by the French. In another attack a tank was on fire, the officer in command was killed and the first driver severely wounded, all within tho German lines. The second, driver extinguished thei fire, assumed command,, and later in the day drove back single handed, preceded by about BO Germans, who he captured unaided. Another tank temporarily knocked out, constituted itself into a strong point inside the German lines and held out for five hours until the infantry arrived.

Germany Uses 70 Divisions in Attempt to Stem Smashing Advance of Foch's Forces. (Ry Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Aug. 27.—Router's correspondent at British headquarters in prance in a despatch dated Tuesday says: : "If attrition is really going to end this war, then indeed, the present tactics of the allies-^i the west are making rapidly for victory. "Down to Sunday night It may reasonably be estimated that the enemy had been forced tn use between the Scarpe and the Aisne at least 70 divisions since the British counter offensive started Aug. 8. The extension of the battle front northward by the attack bdhlnd Arras yesterday morning probably led the Germans to hurry reinforcements into the threatened zone. "Up to 9 o'clock last nitfht I hear that we had about 2000 prisoners and some guns "taken in the new zone. While some prisoners were passing through a town on their way back from the front the enemy artillery shelled the place spitefully. "Wo have had very definite proof before that the German gunners do not avoid their own people when they have been if-Hron prisoner. ''Our progress has been excellent considering the difficulties of the ground and even better still, our casualties are reported to have been very light.

(By Daily Newa Leased Wire.) SWIFT CURRENT, Sask., Aug. 27.— A discovery that will prove of untold value to' the allies has. been made 30 miles north of Maple Creek of an immense deposit of potash sodium sulphate and epsom ■salts*, ,ono which experts say consists of millions upon millions of tons of these minerals. The deposit was discovered in tho dried up bed of an old lako and tho work of gettlni*; it out will amount to practically nothing. Tho whole of- tho lake which is 2% miles long and; over a mile wide, has been staked and filed on and work will start at once in clearing away the top layers of dirt and erecting buildings, for tho carrying on of the development of tho bed. ' The claims havo been- filed on by Saskatchewan men who will retain control. Prof. McLaren of tho Saskatchewan university has' examined tlie minerals and pronounces them perfect while export engineers havo estimated the deposit* at millions ot tons. A branch lino of railway is to be ruir from tho works to Maple Creek. ' It Is understood that the Mackenzie and Mann interest wore two days late in sotting on the ground to file on tlie deposits. _ DESPERATE COUNTERATTACKS BY GERMANS FAIL TO STOP GREAT OFFENSIVE OF THE ALLIES WHICH CONTINUES WITH ENOR- MOl/S GAINS ALONG BATTLEFRONT IN FRANCE—PIVOT POINT OF TEUTON RESISTANCE BETWEEN OISE AND SOMME FALLS- FRENCH ADVANCE 2/j MILES AT SOME PLACES—CANADIAN* IN BATTLE BETWEEN SENSE E AND SCARPE. BRITONS TAKE 21,000 MEN IN 6 DAYS ENEMY LOSES HEAVILY EVERYWHERE IN MEN, STORES AND GUNS—HINDENBURG LINE OF TRENCHES HAS BEEN OCCUPIED AND HELD BY ADVANCING BRITISH FORCES —AIRMEN HELP IN WORK OF HARASSING THE RETREATING BOCHES.' ' (By tho Associated Press.) Frenzied counterattacks by a foe who realizes that tho vital points of his defense are fast being eaten into have failed to hold back the British and French armies who are hard after the Germans on the 75-mile battle front frym the north of Arras to the region of Soissons. All along tho front the German line has given way before the pressure of the British and French troops at points whero the falling back of the enemy or capture of towns and roads running eastward i adds greatly to his serious predicament from the standpoint of strategy. Numerous towns, villages and ham lets havo fallen Into the hands of the British and French in tho continuation of tha fighting and scarcely anywhere along the battle front have the Germans been able to do moro than delay tho allies when they knock for admittance to the German line.-"' ' "■ Main Bodies Retreating. Rearguard actions, in which Innum erable machine guns aro used, also are serving merely to keep the allied advance slowed down as far as possible, while the main German bodies mako their way eastward In retreat toward new positions. In tlie region- around Arras, the British now are well astride the'roads leading to Douai and Cambrai and farther south along the Somme they have pressed forward until they are almost at the gates of Peronne. Between the Somme and Oise the French have broken the backbone of the German resistance at .Itoye, cap* turing this pivot point which points to an invasion eastward to the plains of Piturdy and advancing their lines north and south of the town over a front of about 12^ miles to a depth of more than 2% miles at certain points. Poilus Advancing. North of Soissons the French, although the Germans aro fighting them bitterly, again have advanced slightly their line in the outflanking movement, both against the Chemin-des- Dumcs region and in the Noyon sector. Everywhere the Germans have lost heavily in men killed or mado prisoners and in addition lhe allied troops again have captured numerous guns, machine guns and war stores. Tho prisoners taken by thc British from last Wednesday to |M!onday p£ tho present week aggregated 21,000. In the fighting Tuesday around St. Mard, west of Itoye, the French secured 1100 captives. Canadians Take Villages. Tho Canadian troops aro fighting in lively fashion between the Sensee and Scarpe rivers and to them havo fallen numerous German-held villages and many prisoners, Bapaume, one of tho strategic points, over which there lias been much heavy 'fighting, is still held by the Germans, but the British are now so nearly around it that possibly few of thc enemy remain insido the shell torn town, Tho British on the west aro nt thc outskirts uf the place and doubtless it will soon be pinched out of the battle lino. In the north the British already are across thc upper end of the old Hindenburg line and If their progress continues they soon will be able to operate to the east of tho lino oh unscarrcd ground, on which tanks and cavalry can be brought into the fray with good results. Airmen Harass Bochcs. Behind tho liens everywhere French and British airmen aro harassing the Germans in retreat, but In the work thoy are being met by large furces of tho enomy airmen who are fighting hard in an endeavor to make secure the rctrogrado movement of their foot troops. On the Vesle front tlio Americans and Germans aro in a rather bitter fight in the towns of Figmette and Baaouches. The Americans started tho trouble at Banouches and tho Germans reciprocated with an attack on Fismes. At last accounts the Americans had the upper hand at both places. Paris Official PARIS, Aug. 27.—In an advance reaching 2Vj miles at certain points nn ii 12'/j-mile front today, the French captured Uoye and seven villages, ac cording to tho war office announcement, The text says; • "Tho enemy was forced to hasten hifl withdrawal.on both sides of the Avre. ■ "On a front of 20 kilometres out*1 troops advanced more than four kilometres at certain points. AVo occupied Hallu, Fransart, Roye, Launcourt and Crap-au-Musniel. "The artillery fighting continued lively in the region of Lassigny and between the oise and Aisne." Gain Great Results ! WITH THE BRITISH FORCES IN FRANCE, Aug. 27.—(Evening.)—A portion of the Hindenburg line northwest of Kontaine-les-CrotsiUes, southeast of Arras, was captured today by the British troops and mopped up. Thc town of Maricourt and the ground to the cast of it are in British hands. Trones station and the wood" and ground to the east was captured1 by the British and the town of Moulin- de-Fargy also was taken. ' > North of tho river Somme, Field Marshal Haig's troops tills morning attacked along a fro'nl of 8000 yards; They gained great results. Montau- bah, northwest of Mametz, was seen to be falling this morning. It was to the north of the Somme that the formidable organized attack was launched by the British on a 8000- yard front from the Somme, and it was this which had such good results in ground gained. All the British guns have been moved and arc following close behind tlie infantry and the tanks. The barrage laid down north of the Somme today was as heavy as any since the battle began, but the enemy counter barrage was so thin as hardly to deserve the name. Obviously the Germans are trying to save as many guns as possible. But despite this, they lost a considerable number today. One small British formation at ono place captured two complete German field batteries. The capture of these light batteries Is very significant. The Germans ran for their lives when the British suddenly appeared close to them and did not even make an. effort to save their guns. Crestfallen in Spirit The enemy machine gunners have shown a similar spirit, their principal idea apparently now being to save til em selves, If that is possible. German .soldiers also have begun to exhibit the greatest contempt for their own officers and are carrying their feelings right into the prisoners' cage. In a number of cages, into which thousands are pouring, the German soldiers havo gone out of their way to be extremely insolent to thoir officers, jeering at thein and loudly proclaiming their viows in no uncertain manner. Going to such lengths would undoubtedly result In courtmartials and firing siiuatls in Germany and it is gathered from the prisoners that they go only as far as they dare even on this side of the line. Even the prisoners, men and officers, express their longing for peace by agreement. The German 214th division is the latest to meet wilh disaster. One of Its battalion commanders, Ills adjutant and what remained of tlie staff, Were captured, while thc unit itself was Virtually wiped out. Tho Canadians, in their operations yesterday south of the Scarpe, took nuiro than 2000 prisoners and they continued their work of capturing large numbers today. From present indications, it seems that at least on tho southern end of the battlefield the Boche is slowly, but surely, going back over the Somme. The capture of Roye, by the French^ will help the movement, while between there and tho Somme there Is every sign lhat the Germans have had enough. As a matter of fact, action'in this locality began to develop Into resistance by rearguards alone three' nights ago. Since then the British have had less and less difficulty'in getting on. Continued success north, of the Scarpe would soon leave the Germans farther north In continually deepening salients, which it would be difficult for them to hold. British Possess Massif.

MANY TOWNS FALL TO ALLIES (Continued from Page One.) wood and have cleared the Vaux and are now in entire possession of the massif overlooking the Somme right flank. It Is clear British pressure is compelling the enemy to cany his retirement much farther than was originally intended. The British have reached the neighborhood of Dompierre. This point is only six miles from Peronne. The capture of Bapaume by the British apparently is only a matter of a few hours. The outskirts of TMovain have been reached. Wancourt tower and the town of Wancourt were taken by the British after an all night fight. Fighting is going on in the outskirts of Vaux- Vrancourt. To the east of Bapaume the British line has been extended along the railway toward Cambrai. Scots Make Progress ' LONDON, Aug. 27. — Canadian troops made notable advances south of the Scarpe river today, according to Field Marshal Haiffs report, occupying Charlssy, Vis-en - Artois and the Bois-du-Sart and taking many prisoners. Scottish battalions also made excellent progress. Reach Hindenburg Line. WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 27.—Having been still further extended by the attacks launched north of the river Scarpe, the battle today was raging along a field almost -Jd miles long and the British, with renewed vigor, were rolling up tlie Boche before them and sweeping constantly eastward. Nearly In the centre of the battlefield hard fighting has been in progress along the old Hindenburg line, in the neighborhood of Croisselles, Fontaln-les-Oroisselles and Bullecourt and once through, the German strong defenses in this locality, open fresh ground remains beyond. The Hindenburg line has actually been pierced, at one place east of He- nenil and the weaker portion of it, northwest of Fontaine-les-Croisselles, has been captured and mopped up. During today's fighting thc British captured high ground from which they can overlook the country occupied by the enemy for miles around and have thus attained a great Advantage. The Bois-du-Start, one of these places, lies south of the Scarpe and northwest of Monchy-le-Preux and it was feared here the enemy might bold up the advance for a time. It was captured, however, after a short, but fierce struggle, in which the Germans lost heavily. Another similar valuable point is Montauban, northwest of Manetz, which fell this morning alter the Germans had been given orders to bold It at all costs. These orders were suddenly changed and the enemy retired in retreat. Six Miles from Peronne. Still another gain is Dompierre, southeast of Cappy-sur-Somme. Dompierre was reached in tbe forenoon. From this point there is low rolling' country all the way back to Peronne. incidentally, the British at this place are only six miles from Peronne, where the Somme bends to the south. Bapaume, having been, almost surrounded, has been entered by British patrols and they have been fighting in the streets. The town therefore, is a sort of No Man's Land for the moment, but its complete capture seems only a matter of hours. The Germans are exhibiting still greater anxiety to get away from the advancing British and even the morale of the German machine gunners seems to be diminishing ns they are not holding to their posts with as much determination as early in the battle. Fresh Attacks. Various sections of the front saw fresh attacks launched today. North of the Scarpe, where the operations taken in conjunction with those south of the river are gradually releasing the pressure on Arras, the outskirts of Plouvaln were reached and the line then ran at an angle slightly west and due north from this point, with the British still going raplidly and the enemy resistance decreasing. South of the Scarpe the British have reached Pelves, but the situation there is uncertain. Almost directly south of it, however, the Bols du Sart and surrounding ground has been captured ind thus Pelves cannot possibly hold out for long. London troops approached close to Croisselles, but a hot machine gun fire from that town and other indications showing that it was held by a, large Sfv© Wear and Tear on that boy of yours during the active years of childhood and youth necessitates a real building food.

"There's a ReasoK' 'anada Food Board license N92-026 garrison, well protected in prepared positions, caused them to pause for a time. At tho same time other troops attacked to the north against Pontan- til. Having reached the outskirts of that place, they then swung southward to outflank Croisselles. They are encountering stiff resistance but Che Germans are rapidly being overcome. To the south of this place the British have pushed well to the east of St. Leger and are now fighting just northwest of Ecoust-St. Nein, between that town and Croisselles. Fighting also Is ln progress In the outskirts of Vaulx- Vrancourt. Extend Lines. East of Bapaume the line has been extended along the railway to Cambrai, Marcourt and the ground to.the east of it are well in British hands. Trones station and wood and the ground to the east, which is valuable because it is high, were captured, as well as Moulin-des-Fargy, on the Somme river bank, which was In the British front lines at the opening of the first battle of the Somme. Vaux wood also was occupied and Is held firmly. After an ail night fight, Wancourt tower and town, south of the Scarpe, were taken and the important Henenil ridge and Henenil wood were captured. Just Smash Ahead. Most of the operations south of the Somme have been carried out by a comparatively peaceful penetration, for the Germans In this territory are offering hardly any resistance and the Australians are simply pushing ahe'kd, rounding up villages, woods and ground without any definite objective. Hun Bandsmen Fight. The Germans have gone to tbe greatest length to hold their line here nnd even have armed, and thrown Into the line bandsmen and men from the transport service'. There has been hard fighting in the vicinity of Thilloy, south of Bapaume. On the centre of the battle front the battle is raging with greatly increased violence. The Germans are reported to be digging in along a line, the general direction of which may(„be reckoned as starting at the north bank of the Somme, to the rear of Gulile- mont and then northeast through tends to make a desperate stand on this line. Once driven from this line, the next logical place for a strong stand would be in tho rear of the Canal du Nord, which runs In a northeast direction from Peronne to west of Cambrai. In the south Germans have made preparations for strong resistance on the east bank of this canal. feouth of the Somme, the Germans also are in some force at Focancourt, which sticks forward ln a salient that has become materially most dangerous for tho enemy. There were vicious counterattacks this afternoon nnd, in some places, as must be expected, the British had to give ground slightly. On the north thc British withdrew to the west of Trones wood. Tbe British also gave up their foothold on Maltzpourne farm, near Giullemont, east of Albert. South of the Scarpe the British at last reports had gained possession of Fontaine-dos- Croisselles. Canadians Beat Foe. LONDON, Aug. 27.*—An official text tonight says: "This morning our troops operating astride the Scarpe again attacked. Overcoming the resistance of the enemy in his old front line trenches held prior to his offensive of aMrch 21, the Canadians penetrated deeply Into the German positions between the Sensee and Scarpe rivers and captured Cher- issy, Vis-cn-Artois and Bois-du-Sart, vvitb many prisoners. "On the right of the Canadians Scottish troops crossed the Sensee and seized Fontnlnell establishing taem- selves in the slopes of the spur south of the village and taking several hundred prisoners. "North of the Scarpe other Scottish battalions carried Aoeux, Greeland and Gavrelle and English battalions gained possession of Arleux-en-Gohelle and the other German line south of this. "Between Croisselles and Bapaume and to the south English and New Zealanders again had heavy fighting, resulting from the determined counterattacks by German divisions recently brought up to reinforce the front. Heavy casualties were inflicted on these divisions in their unsuccessful attacks. Despite their efforts to prevent our advance, our troops stormed the village of Bougnatre and progressed at several points between Beugnatre and Croisselles." English and Welsh Advance LONDON, Aug. 27.—"South of Bapaume, English and Welsh troops gained ground in the face of strong opposition. We reached the western outskirts of Fleres and have driven the enemy from Longeuval, Devell wood and Bernafay wood. Counterattacks by the Prussian Guard in this area were repulsed. "Astride the Somme, Australian, English and Scottish battalions forced the enemy on the whole front of our attack to give ground. Our t cops gained the high ground east of Maricourt. "Fontaine-les-Cappy and the woods between there and the Somme hive been taken, with some hunl.'edij of prisoners and Vermnndovillers is in our hands." Roye Is Captured WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 27.—(4 p.m.)—Roye was taken this morning by the French in the course of a brilliant attack, following an unsuccessful attack by the enemy. The Germans are in retreat over a seven-mile front north and south of Roye, Take Roye WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Aug. 27.—The first French army, after beating the Germans In their battle positions before Roye, took the town today and now are pursuing the Germans, who are in retreat on a lino extending from Hallu to the region south of Roye. At four o'clock this afternoon, Gen. Debeny's men were in the region of Hattencourt, where the line passes just west of Cremery and Gruny, but Carrespufs and to the west of Rolglos and west of Verplllleres. The French encircling1 Laclles overcame tho new German system of defense by the profuse use of machine guns.

The Germans are now relying on their aviators to protect their retreat. Their airplanes were out In great numbers today, attacking tbe pursuing columns and engaging the French squadrons of observation and pursuit planes. Tbe final break in the German second line came this morning, when, after repulsing an attack on St. Mard, the French infantry resumed the offensive. They completely encircled Roye and threw the enemy back several miles east of the town. In spite of fatigue from the long hard campaign, Gen. Debeny's men are going ahead with thc ardor and enthusiasm of fresh troops. German Official BERLIN, Aug. 27.—The report from general headquarters says: "The main point, of the attempt to break through by the English and Canadian troops lay to the south of the Scarpe. The thrust was stemmed in our positions on both sides of tbe Arras-Cambrai road. "During the day there has been heavy fighting between Arras and the Somme. East of Arras the enemy attacked on both sides of the Scarpe. North of this river his attacks were arrested before our battle line, which had been back on Rouex. "South of the Scarpe our foremost troops yielded on command to enemy attacks made with numerous tanks and strong infantry forces and withdrew to the heights of . Monchy-le- Preux. "There the fires of our infantry and artillery standing ready to repel the attacks received the enemy and after a bitter fight the adversary pressed forward over Moncby and Guiemleppe heights. Our counterattack threw him back to tbe east slope of the heights." "A storming attack directed against Cherissy collapsed before that place. The enemy continued his attacks on both sides of Bapaume with lhe heavy brlhging-In of tanks. North of Bapaume the heights southeast of Mory and Beugnatre were tbe loci of the battle. After several futile storming attacks the enemy got a foothold In the heights in the evening, beugnatre, after long fighting, still remained in our hands. "Southwest of Bapaume the enemy established himself In Thielloy and Mortinpuich. The remainder of- the enemy attacks, repeated here on a broad front until late in the evening, collapsed sanguinarily. "Destroyed enemy tanks are lying before and behind our lines. South of Martinpuich the enemy pressed forward over Bazentin into Montauban. We threw him out of Montauban by a counter thrust. Enemy thrusts south of Montauban also came to a standstill," <£- EGGS, GOOD AND BAD. $ $ There is only only way to be sure of strictly fresh eggs and that is to gather them up at least once a day. Our farm has always done that and the grocer who gets them takes the eggs from our crates for his own family use. So far there has been little difference in price between the strictly fresh eggs and others, but there should be and there will he in time. Of course if a farmer cares to peddle out among the town residents he will be able to get a better price, as they want the eggs and will pay for them, but it Is a time taker and for me I doubt whether it will pay. One place where eggs are apt to slip by that are not fresh Is when children gather them all thc time or part of the time. They find a new nest^ possibly, or forget a regular^ one-, and In a few days in summer weather witfi an occasional hen to keep them warm there Is trouble on the way very soon. This '^hould be watched, as one day's gathering of bad eggs will spoil one's reputation for a long time. It Is harder to get a reputation for fresh eggs back again after you've sold a few spoiled ones than it is to keep it after you have earned it by being careful. Every egg producer would be a good deal more particular about thfc freshness of the eggs ho sells if he eould be at the buying end for a few weeks. Even the grocer gets some of it, and he takes a lot of bad eggs in that be doesn't know about unless he can candle all lie buys. But If you lived In the city and paid a top prlc for eggs, and then had, to break eac one in a separate dish before usin them for fear a bad one would spoil th others, you would sympathize with tt used and take more care whether yo got any money out of It or not.—Ea Rogers in National Stockman.

Ho was caught by a passerby and a crowd gathered. Blow upon blow felt upon thc defenseless head. Childish shrieks of terror filled the air. The woman appalled at what she had done, rushed back to the house. Again she made a desperate search and suddenly in a dark corner she unearthed tho missing poc- ketbqpk.

Stories of Germany's submarine cruisers may be dismissed, says Archibald S. Hurd, widely known writer on naval subjects, In an article appearing in tho London Daily Telegraph. "They are merely large submarines such as wc have been building,'' be says. ''They do not represent a triumph of German engineering any more conspicuous than a triumph our own shipbuilders have achieved. It was because German submarines of about 800 tons could remain at sea only a short time, were very uncomfortable artd the conditions were very telling on lhe nerves of the crews that the enemy evolved a large type modelled on the Beutschland. This type having been designed it wns decided to indulge in exaggeration in order tp impress thc world. "What is the truth about German submarines?" he continues. "These cruisers displace not 5000 tons, but 2000. Thcy are not 450 feet long but less than 300 feet, tfhoir speed on the surface is not 28 knots, but about 12 knots. "When submerged they do not travel at tho rate of 15 knots per Hour but approximately 10 knots or so. "It happens that wc have heard more about tlie operations of German submarines than about thc British submarine because the enemy offers few targets for our submarines while wo offer tho enemy thousands of targets per week. Tho percentage of hits by our submarines is, in fact about three times that of tlie Germans, which In itself indicates the high standard of efficiency of British ship design, construction nnd operation. Thc Work which British submarines are doing is magnificent. Our officers are handicapped by many things besides the small number of targets offered them. The Germans are able to maintain their campaign only by defying every la wof every nation and ignoring the ordinary dictates of humanity. There is nothing easier than murder. <$ ; ; : 1 $> | SUBMARINES IN EARLY DAYS [ <!> : 3> It is not generally known that the submarine as a possibility dates from the lfith century. An English seaman gunner, named William Bourne, in his book of "Inventions and Devices," published in 157S, described such a boat; and while it Is certain that his vessel, constructed as ho suggested, eould not live long in any depth of water, he did show lhat he had a grasp of the problem. Nothing came of his submarine, although for years Bourne's description was quoted and may have inspired somo subsequent designs. Briefly, he suggested a boat which could be expanded in; sizo or contracted by means of leather bellows, in this manner he sought to overcome the bulk of water -displaced* - >.> S- _A CURIOUS AUDIENCE IN CHINA Yuan Shi Kai, the president dictator of China, was greatly Interested in tho modern athletic nAoet held at Shanghai. lie not only gave lhe decathlon trophy, a beautiful five-foot replica, of tne tfen "Widows' Arch in Pekin, but provided financial'backing for the games and granted nn audience io tlio visiting nlhleles.

She was studying with a German sculptor who had a studio in Paris for so many years that people had forgotten he was a foreigner. She had been vei*j' ihnch Iflattered when {he tola her that he wanted to make a' bust of her, but she and her family left tot England when war was declared and it wasn't finished. He stayed on In Paris almost up to the battle of the Marne, but he disappeared about that time, and hasn't been heard from since. When they searched his house after lie had left, they found the American girl's bust and 81 of the kaiser. So sure was ho that his countrymen were going to reach Paris, and knowing when they did get there marty of themi would want a bust of the all-highest in thoir new homes, be had his wares ail ready for them.—Philadelphia North American.

BOTTOM DROPS OUT OF CHICAGO CORN MARKET (By Dally News Leased Wire.) CHICAGO, III., Aug. 27—Thpre might havo been an air raid over the board of trade today from the way prices took to the cellar. Corn dropped 3% to 4 cents; oats % to % cent and provisions 55 cents. In corn bearlshness was practically unanimous. October closed 4 cents under yesterday's price. Hedging, ln- tyu0lng rtecejpts and (primarily1 the corn weakness, accounted for tha decline in the oat market. Cash houses bought September and sold i October at a spread of 1% cents at one time. Shipping and export demand was slow and the arrivals included some Indiana and other corn usually shipped east. October closed % cents down nt 72%.. Pork closed 45 to 55 cents. lower*; lard 17% cents lower and ribs 32% to 35 cents down. THE SILVER SITUATION And now tho government has to sit on -the price of silver in order to keep It within bounds. That course is necessary, not only In Canada, but throughout the allied countries, to keep the metal at such a price that It does not pay to melt up silver coins and sell them as bullion. If silver reaches a price a little more than equal to the value of the silver in a dollar, the immediate effect would be that coins would be melted and the product sold. No laws, however strict, could prevent this taking place. And if It did occur something like anarchy would occur as far as the currency system is concerned. In any event, silver miners will not object to a price of over a dollar an ounce. It means more prosperity for the pi'ning industry in Kootenay and Boundary. I (i TUBERCULOSIS IN ARMIES. A' Boston physician, Dr. Edward O. Oles, in a recent contribution to the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal presents some impressive facts concerning the occurrence of tuberculosis in military organizations. The French army had returned 150,000 men to their homes from this cause by January, 1017 and this number seems to be maintained. A similar condition has been observed in the British and Canadian armies. The conditions of war seem to stir into activity latent cases, so that while the individual might not have a recurrence in civil life in the case of arrested consumption, the conditions in the trenches may awaken it. In this matter the question has come up whether there are not duties connected with the army which aro less exacting than the trenches into which men near the border line of this malady might serve their country. But'there is one great compensating feature in the fact that as a consequence of the large numbers of sufferers from the disease the treatment of the malady is being attacked with a thoroughness and a success which was not formerly possible. GERMANY LIKES HIS VIEWS. Lord Lansdowne und his friends cun hardly fail to note that in the case of the second, as of tho first, of his letter advocating immediate negotiations for peace, the only praise comes from Germany und her confederates, points out the New York Times, They like his proposals ini' uiensely and still more his expressed ana implied criticisms of the entente leaders. ;;.. This may be taken by Lord Lans downe as showing simply that his antagonists ut homo are obstinately wrong, but as he is not, In purpose at least, a pro-German, one would expect him to .be somewhat disquieted by tho 'ahiap*^ geographic line separat ing his admirers and those who de uuunce him. German commendation is a heavy burden for any decent man to carry in these days—an intolerable burden it ought to be. Every time Lord Lansdowne takes his pen in hand ho strengthens tho suspicion that what he fears is not so much a prolongation of the war as an ending of it likely to be injurious to his own class. This charge is probably an unjust one, but his letters give it a dreadful plausibility.

While the food situation has been considerably improved the need, for conservation is still great. Waste of food is a crime against the allied cause. «g ^ Now that shearing is well under way, It is possible to arrive at a fairly reliable estimate as to the quantity and value of the wool clip of western Canada this year as compared with last year. Reports from the different centres Indicate that there will be an increase of approximately 50 per cent in the quantity of wool marketed from the three prairie provinces. The members of the Southern Alberta Wool Growers association have 225,000 sheep as against 158,000 sheared a year ago. From these it is expected to obtain about 1,600,000 pounds of wool. The Pincher Creek association will have about 85,000 pounds, a substantial increase over last year's clip, and the other associations will also have increases of 25 per cent over last year. In Saskatchewan and Manitoba, where the larger part of the wool Is graded and sold for the farmer by branches of the department of agriculture, there will also be a larger quantity available. In the former province, the growth of the industry is evidenced by the fact that nearly double as much wool as last year will be sold this year. In Manitoba the increase, though not so great as that of Saskatchewan, will be a substantial one, and the total clip will amount to more than 25 per cent greater than last year. Mining and-Markets FEW GAINS ARE STATED IN LIST C. P. tt. Shoots up—U. S. Steal Reaches Best Price for Year at / 115%. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Stocks were slightly more susceptible to favorable developments today, although extreme gains of 1 to 3 points among the usual favorites were irregularly reduced before the close. A more hopeful feeling prevailed as to money prospects. Pronounced expansion of business on the bank acceptances was reported, but this was without effect upon ordinary call loans, which ruled at 6 per cent, the same rate applying to such time funds as were available. Canadian Pacific enjoyed another upward spurt, though not attaining to Its high record of last week. Unjted (States gteot'-, ,rose to the year's best price of 115%, an extreme advance of 2 points from its minimum of the forenoon, but half of this advantage was forfeited In thc moderate selling of the final hour.

Thousands of workmen pass through the streets jarjy and late; The main street Is paved and lighted. Thero Is a con stant stream of traffic and the sleepiest old women who haunt the streets have become adept at dodging the American motor cars which rush through the streets. "A police force and a fire department have been organized. Tho old fashioned oil lamps In the streets have been replaced by electric lights. Tho water supply has been Improved and extended. Mosques have been repaired, roads have been paved and schools, Including a training school for native, teachers, have been opened. "The streets are now well watered In dry weather and sanitary officials have penetrated the most hidden corners of the city. Tho municipal gov ernment has been made self-supporting. Two bridges have been thrown across the river Tigris. These are some of the changes which have come quietly and unnoticed."

"The Man 'without a Country" is founded upon Edward Everett Hale's story, "The Man Without a Country," written in 1863 and intended, as the author said to be a "contribution, however, humble, toward the formation of a just nnd true national sentiment of love to the nation."' The universal appeal-of this classic is shown by the fact that the lesson intended in the story has been in use in other times, under other circumstances than those which surrounded this country In 1863. Whon, in 1888, Peru found herself hard pressed by Chile in the war between those nations, the patriots of Peru translated this story into the Spanish language. At the outset of the war with Spain the publishers of the Outlook reprinted It, in their wish that the nation should not shrink from the duties of u nation.

He also tells of .the fine morale of the troops. "The conditions In the north (referring to the Oise district) were quite exciting for correspondents," he writes. "When I was there r was living in a- town so close to the lines that, six- Inch shells came in ort us. A number of shrapnel broke right over my house, breaking off the brick line shingles. A Carnegie howl (steel helmet) was my best frleftd. "The front, I think, however, is probably the most cheerful place on earth, although nobody would ever think so. The further you get away from the lines the moro gloom there is. But where the shells fly and life is worth about a nickel, nothing matters to.anybody. "And they are a great crowd, these fighters of ours; whether they do their fighting in the ground or in the air. They are game to the core, cheerful, happy and they have one thought only. That is 'Kill Germans' and they never overlook a chance You can't beat an army that sails into an enemy with a grin on its face and a cheer in its heart."

To salvage a vessel that has been torpedoed or mined, the British have a remarkable contrivance. The method pursued consists in pumping in water at the opposite point on a damaged vessel, to that which has received the injury. As soon as the wolght of the material In the submerged part of the vessel is counterbalanced by the water pumped ln, the submerged part rises and the vessel regains its equilibrium. Before the war the device was submitted to the German'-naval architects and it is said that they have since applied it to raising some of their own warships, without, however, being in possession of the proper nieans of regulation.
