The outstand. ing fact of the moment is that the Allies" literally have their '���������back to the wall," The rapid and overwhelming success of the Teutonic and Bulgarian armies iu Serbia has developed a com plicated problem to the acute stage. It is now admitted that nothing short oJ prompt action in placing a very large body of Allied forces iu the Balkans cau stem the tide of Teutonic victory, which would create a serious if uot a disastrous position, The Government has thrown off its mask, and its spokesmen iu the House of Isolds aud the House of Commons have frankly admit ted the giavity of the situation, Whether or not the result hns been brought about by ineflic:* cm diplomacy is not so much a matter of importance uow as is a prompt decision ou (he best means fo avert disostc.

Thi_ would confront the Allies with the necessity for placing at least 600,000 men drawn from other sou ices in the Balk'., ans. The public has been kept in the dark as to the actual nun. ber already sent, but it is now known that the mui.ber.is much smaller than was generally, be. lieved, latest indications ate that Italy will be willing to cooperate in this movement. Her soldiers are mobilized and well equipped.. She could spare a considerable nrmy from her pres cut field of operations; au aimy which could be conveniently transported. The decision can uot bc delayed, and wc may expect to hear sometime during next week what general scheme has beeu devised to meet the most threatening feature which the Wnr has yet developed. It is impossible to overestimate the sinister influence of a German occupation , of Constantinople. Not only would it unquestionably bring about the alignment of Greece and Roumauia with he Central Powers bul would establish n powerful base from which Kgypt could be seriously threatened.

C. How War Affects Young Canadians Capt. Pequegnat . Says Experience* Makes Them Much Finer Men Because he was with tlie 1st Field Ambulance ut the time the first Canadian expeditionary force was making- history ut Langemarck, many in a largo audience at the Central -Y. M.C.A.;' Toronto, expected that Capt. Albert J. Pequegnat, who has been ��������� invalided homo as a result of gas i smothering, would have given graphic details of that terrible battle. But the captain left the telling of the aw- fulness of that gi'im struggle "to the * heroes ^whom God would'spare to return.'' Capt. Feuuegnat had come to speak of tlie war,1 but his slory dealt mainly with the work of the Y.M.C-A. representatives among, tho Canadian troops from the time they entered Yal- ; carter until a lew we.ks ago. Brief- -ly put, and thero was'no suggestion 'of egotism, it waS' a story of selMen- , ial and heroism of a sort which many ' months back made the Y.M.C.A. officers indispensibie to the Canadian ''Tommy." The morale ot the men had .improved as "a result of their work, and to be a Christian in warfare, said tho captain', is a man's job, and soldiers knelt at their bedsides in prayer morning and night, When, the* war was" over many would' return t tietter men than when .they left It " was a* comparatively easy matter now' to get soldiers to think of spiritual things. Gathered together, they would sing such old songs as the "Old Folks at Home1' until tears ' would come into ' their eyes .with- thouglits of loved ones. Then the boys were, in va mood for. a good .straight talk. To the 12th R���������ngars, Captain Pequegnat paid a high ..tribute - -when.he.said no one could ..find .&> better bunch of fellows. ���������Canada had the ��������� extreme .honor to be t,he lirst Y.M.C.'A.' to be recognized by the British war oflice and,now over 200 military Y.M-C. A. officers were with Kitchener's army. ��������� " Capt.' Pequegnat, in, describing .the trenches at the'front, could' not very well escape touching on what he called "the other side.'" He pictured himself, his heart quaking as bullets ...kicked up dust here and there around him 'as he walked, proceeding one night to a double row of trenches . from which the Germans had that 'morning, been driven. Even-the solace of "his1 guide that it would only be a "chance"shot which might get him, "was of'little comfort., In the second German trench1 were bodies of Ger- . mans and many British, and it was , here the captain relieved a dead German officer of his helmet, which lie .kept as a> souvenir. Sixty yards ia front was the first line of the advanc-" , ing ' British trenches' and twenty-five, further on the German, trenches. The " Huns'.were; then striving to drive "^5all!rTfte���������53TTCT_h e is��������� ami���������between���������tlve- " two trendies were bodies-of dead ..or 'both , sides' , When, night came Brit-' ",ish soldiers'crawled''on hands and ���������,- luiees and with hooks on .poles risked their lives in dragging 'in their dea i '���������f and wounded comrades. That the '���������] Gannons hii'd used the bodies of their ���������;j. .own slain as barricades .'there was no '���������'' -doubt, and, ������ said the captain, the , German soldiers are fit for anything. \ Capt." Pequegnat was on the field of ''��������� l,angnmar_k. The captain was, among \Viose who ministered to the Canadians /'������ft3r���������t!ie battle, and to one touching '" 'incident he made, reference. Lance- 'Corpoval'Occomora, oi' the -ISth High: ' hinders, killed by gas, died- in his arms. To a parish-priest he applied ior a spot-in the graveyard'of the vjl- lage church in which to bury tho Canadian soldier. Q The priesl, witliout tlie ,' least hesitation, told tha captain ho could have as. much ground as he wanted fo/ the Canadian dead, iind pro mi soil that their graves would be tended forever. Such was the fame Canadian soldiers liad earned for themselves >on the' battlefield. *4i> A BRIGHT TOBACCO OF THE FINEST QUALITY 10 CENTS PER PLUG Vast Sum Spent by Russians a, m Rapid Growth of the Red Cross Since War Began <������������������������������������- It is not too much lo say tliat tlie official recognition of the died Cross as an international association was due principally'to the aHiva support of the Russian government. The idea of universal ciiarity' and the brotherhood of man in the presence of sintering is an idea peculiarly attractive lo the Russian temperament. "Russian literature, as i.s well known, is essentialy a literature of huniun'itarianisni and sympathy. All the great Russian writers, sucli as Tolttol, Dostoieffsky, and Turgcniev, are apostles of mercy. Certain phases of Russian official history have shown a different tendency, but beginning with the enlightened 'Alexander I, Russian court circles from the commencement of the last century have given effective support to all schemes of international relief work. Before Florence Nightingale, Russian sisters of charity were at worlc> on the battlefields of the Crimea. Russia assisted the Swiss Dunant to found the International Red Cross, and there has beeu no' war since then to wliich the Russian Red ��������� Cross has not sent its doctors and its white-robed sisters- Serbia Ilulgaria, . .Montenegro, Greece! Abyssinia,, the Transvaal, China, all oin bear witness to Russian liumauitarianism. At the beginning of the war the Russian Red Cross established 'IS base' hospitals, 37 stationary hospitals and 33 field ambulances' with a capacity bf 13.000 teds. Two months later tlie number of beds had increasr ed to 35,000 divided' amongst 177 hospitals. To this were added 6 motor ambulance detachments, ti X-ray establishments, _ hospital-trains, and G5 field dressing stations. The personnel now comprises'766 doctors and surgeons 4S3 medical students, 2,635 nurses and 10.000 litter bearers. In addition the Russian Red Cross has put over 1,000 sisters at. the disposal of the minister of war. The amount' of money disbursed amounts to nearly $25,000,000- In- fact, expenses have exceeded receipts, and the deficit has had to bo Vacant Lot Gardens Excellent Results Secured, but Precautions Against Weeds is Required Reports from various cities and towns in Caaau.. as to tlie cultivation of vacant lots indicate that tno campaign inaugurated last spring for greater prouuciien tuu more extensive ,<se of vacant .and has been a success-, .several cities have handled the vacant .ot problem in a systematic manner, and h..ve secured lesuits commensurate to th. amount of energy expended- dom., by allowing interest to lag, .save btoii only partially successltu. in others, also, circumstances militated against success in that .uiemploy- ed men took rp the cultivation ot vacant iots, and, upon securing employment, neglocteu them. On tne wnole, however, the movement can bo regarded as a distinct success. No estimate of tlie value of the product i i available, but, judging from the en- .thusiasni of some of the vacant lot gardeners, the total value is large. There is one danger from tho vacant lot garden, however, to winch attention must be drawn, namely, tlu growth of noxious weeds in the newly cultivated land. Too often, on the removal of the crop, the ground is given over . to the weeds. Organizations handling the vacant lot work should give the matter of weed0 destruction early attention; otherwise, the" lots will not only prove -a menace to tho land in the vicinity by the spread of weed seeds, but create antagonism to the movement ou the part of the cc- cupiers of the neighboring land.

Such an effort would result in disaster to the enemy, for the sliglit'est'offense in this direction would bring a declaration of war from both-'! Bulgaria ' and Rou-- mania.

Thero is every indication that the newly elect: ed parliarpent of Greed looks at it in that- way,,'so far as Greece is concerned,, and-.its attitude undoubtedly is Laving a tremendous influence with Roumauia and Bulgaria. The latter, military observers,believe, will throw : its lot with the allies in spite of certain railway concessions that Turkey' is reported to have made to the Bulgarian government. ���������,. ��������� If Bulgaria should enter the, war on the side of the allies it would'be in a position to put between 300,000 and ���������100,000 first class soldiers in the.field- While the population is only -1,400,000, about 2,600,00 less than that of Rou- mania, a very l���������rge proportion of tho male population is trained to fight an ; tbe women , are ready to take tho places of the mei- tn all-kinds of domestic, work.

HUGE SUMS HAVE BEEN SPENT TO ATTRACT IMMIGRANTS TO CANADA .... o ��������� ��������� . . THREE MILLION IMMIGRANTS IN PAST 15 YEARS Better Prices For Crops Booklet Issued by the Minister of the Interior gives-some Interesting Facts and Figures Concerning the Immigration , Work Carried on by the Dominion During the Past \ Canada has expended thirteen and b half million dollars In the past tit- teen yeai*s on immigration woric iu all parts of the world "and the result has b,>en a direct increase iu populatio . by new arrivals of about three million people. This, and a wliolo lot moro information concerning Immigration work ia contained lu a very interesting little booklet Issued by the direction of Hon- YV. J. Koche, minister of the Interior, called "Immigration Facts and Figures." . Immigration has' been, encouraged from the British isies, ,tho United 6tate_ and certain European countries, but, of course, at present the campaign Is not being carried' on iu Germany, Austria, Finland or Russia. Southern Europeans or Asiatics have not been wanted at any time. There are various ways In which the attractions -of, Canada are set forth to the prospective emigrant. Regular agencies are established, newspaper publicity, distribution of pamphlets exhibits of grains aud other products; and in Great .Britain exhibition wagons are sent around through tho country districts, in tho United States exhibits aro made at the big fairs aud expositions, ln Great Britain and Europe arrangements are made with steamship and booking agents, whereby, a bonus ia paid for the emigrants whicli are directed to this country. Records in the pamphlet go back as far as 1S97, but in the majority of instances they are' not complete for all that period, as more, detailed and accurate information regarding new arrivals in the Dominions are constantly'being iutro-: duced. During the past 15 years there was ' a total immigration of 3,050,000, the largest number from any country being those from the British Isles, 1,159,- ���������62S; with Americans a close second, 1.O5S.00O. Of the remainder the Aus- tro-Hungarians, which include the Galicians, numbered 200,000; Germans, 38,000;- Italians, 119,000, and Russians 97,000.-These are the round ��������� figures. ; The Allies Playing: Gigantic Game Russian Delayed Easterners have a pleasing habit of telling the people west of the lakes that money which 'is spent on immigration is a direct contribution to the tilling up of the west and that we should bo correspondingly grateful to thom for allowing the money to be appropriated. ���������< A glanco at tho figures given regarding tho destination of tha immigrants shows that tho eastern provinces got about half of the new arrivals. Thero is one class of Immigrants that is directly beneiicial in a financial' way���������;tho Chineso. In .head tax tho Orientals have paid, very large amounts particularly in the four years following 1910. In that year the receipts wero $2,257,000; 1911, ������3,041,- 000; 1912, ������3,539,000; 1913, ������2,639,000; while last year thero was only $577,- 000. This money is collected from each Chinaman at the rate of ������500 per head. While there have , been over three million people admitted, it must not be inferred tliat all who make application are allowed to take up their residence in the Dominion. In the past 12 years there have been 123,- 500" rejections for various reasons, ranging from sickness or lack of funds. Even after admission has been gained there have been during the past dozen years over 10,000 people rejected-- . In ��������� classifyng the occupations of the immigrants it is shown that those from the British Isles and others from the continent are about equally divided between farmers and general laborers, as there were a little more than 500,000 of each. A v,ery great majority of the Americans who have come across are farmers, there being almost a half million, while the laborers' do not total 200,000. There are a great many comparisons that can be deduced from the little booklet, whicli contains a lot of interesting information for those who might be inclined to give a little study to the material from which the future Canada is' to. be constructed.

It says: "Th. Canadian harvest news is much liked, aiid Is., naturally having a material influence ou prices. With a big surplus and high prices current owing to the Dardanelles being still unforced tho Dominion should -greatly '-benefit. Moreover, lt is,distinctly encouraging to learn that a considerable impetus has been given to general trade, and that tho volume of orders from country districts is Increasing largely. "The immediate result is that Canadian Pacific aiid other Canadian railroad seculrties aro making headway, and business is becoming moro pronounced. Tho Canadian Pacific report gives timely remin ler of economics being practised, and furnishes evidence of the confidence of the directors in their roads for the future, "Owing to crop conditions and the period of enforced economy, severe curtailment is unnecessary, The outlay has helped to placo the Dominion In a position to benefit decidedly from any in pouring profits, whother from war munitions, trado or tho salo of foodstuffs." Banking and Business Interests Should Co-operate With the ' Farmers At a meeting held recently ln Winnipeg at which representatives of the farmers' organizations of Western Canada were present, the matter of prices likely to be received for the present crop was discussed. It was the unanimous opinion of those present that a heavy movement on the part of tlie farmers to sell their grain at the present time would bo almost certaU to forco prices to a lower level and that if a more leisurely method of marketing wero followed by the farmers in tho disposal of their grain a better averago price all round would bo secured for it.. Whilo lt was recognized that the matter of giving ndvico on tho selling of grain is 'a' difficutl one, lt was thought advisable by all present to make a public statement advising the farmers of Western Canada, as far as possible, to storo a portion of their grain on their farms, and. in this way, spread the marketing of,it over the next eight or ten months, rather than placo it in immense quantities upon the market in the next few months with the certainty���������as far as the present, outlook is concerned���������of bringing prices to a considerably lower level. Lake and ocean boat space is more scarce than in previous years; rates for such space are higher than ever before;" rates of exchange between this country and Euvopo are also more adverse than they have even been and undoubtedly tho flooding of the market , wiih grain immediately after threshing will mean that those charges which ultimately 4iave to be paid by the farmer, will go higher than ever. It was thought advisable to publicly request the co-operation of tho banks and business interests generally in the matter.'" Their cooperation might take the form of extending the time for payment of liabilities that-farmers might have to such banks or business interests, rather than to force the farmers to soli their grain at a sacrifice iii order to meet liabilities falling due in October and * November. ' The banks particularly by taking advantage ot the powers recently conferred could make advances to farmers on the security of grain on the farm. If this method of marketing"can be followed, we feel certain that it will result in a greater monetary return for the crop to the farmers of Western Canada than will otherwise obtain, and it seems apparent that such a rosult will be a direct benefit to every business interest in the country, and at the same time will-insure a steady flow of, grain sufficient for ,the needs of the empire. . More leisivvely -marketing of our grain has always been advocated by "the"'leaders-ofJthe"~farniers1���������organiza~ tions and we make tills statement at tho present time for'the purpose of .^directing attention to this very important matter at a. period when our crop is just beginning to move. We believe that if farmers follow' our suggestion in large .numbers that the result- will prove that the scheme is far more practical than any other that could be suggested to insure a fair return,for the crop.

Retreat and the Western Drive , From the time that the Russian retreat became & definite and established fact, with its duration and extent tho remaining questions a great part of the world .as b.uu asking, "Whs.t about the drive of the,'allies ou the west front?" , Like many another question, it was very easy to ask, especially as it had {.eon looked for to start in May; As the Russian retreat continued and daily seemed more dangerous, tho question became more and moro persistent. As tho fall of Warsaw became certain niauy thought the blow ln tho west would be struck to save tho Polish-capital. But, it has often boen argued that tho fall of Warsaw 13 not nearly so serious as many people Imagine- and.that tho further the Germans penetrate into Russia the moro nearly impossible will bo thoir return. It is said that the German army Is on Its way to. Petrograd and that Russian is preparing to trausfer the capital to Moscow, as Franco transferred her capital ,to Bordeaux for similar reasons. Tho'drive toward Paris aud Calais had the double object of capturing those two cities and splitting and smashing the French army��������� especially the latter. It was a mighty costly failure. So, the German drive in the east, the most powerful, most extensive, and so far most successful launched by Germany and.Austria, has the two fold object-of capturing'several, of the most important strategic positions at very heavy sacrifice. They aro pushing onward toward Petrograd and using every known tactical move to drive a wedge,through some point of the Russian line. Time and again they havo used every force at,their command to push through and isolate a'large section of the Russian forces. Never havo they succeeded,"even in the smallest degree. Further, and further they follow greedily in the trail of their wary and formidable foo, getting daily more distant from their base and more dangerously involved in the enemy country. , Now, since the outbreak of the war, all countries involved have been in- RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WAR IS SHOWN TO REST ON GERMANY GERMANS TRY TO CONCEAL DAMNING EVIDENCE British . Foreign Office Replies to Recent German Statements, iat Which the Latter Have Endeavored to Elace the Blamo ��������� for Their Humiliating Position on Other Nations ' In reply to recent German statements relating to the origin of the war, tho British foreign office issued the. following: "First���������The Germans maintain that the reason which led to tho rejection of the proposal for a conterenco was tho mobilization of Russia, ln Paper Number 43 of our White Rook, Sir lb Guschen tilrltlsu ambassador at 13or- llu) reported a conversation with tho German' secretary of state, refusing a conference. ��������� "The secretary., of stato said' that the suggested conference would practically amount to a court' of arbitration and could not in his opinion bo called together, except at tho request of Austria and Russia. He maintained thnt such a conference was not practicable. He further said that if Russia mobilized against Germany the latter would havo to follow suit. A3 when he refused a conference' ho referred to the possibility of Russian mobilization U cannot now be maintained that tho reason for the refusal was the fact that Russia was mobilizing. "As a matter of fact, tho proposal for a conference was made July 26, 191-1, and was refused' by Germany July 27, 1914, while it' was not until July 31 that orders were given for a general mobilization lu Russia, On that day Germany presented.an ultimatum to Russia requiring an undertaking that within 12 hours the Russian forces should be demobilized. "Second���������Doubt is thrown in Germany on the assurance we gave Bel- glum ln 1913 that wo should not land troops,in tliat country except In th* caso ot violation of its territory bf another power. Assurance was not only giveu to tlio Belgian minister but Sir P. Vllllers gave Sir Kdward- ' Grey's record of lt to tho Belgian, government ut the time. Tho assure anco appeared lu the collected diplomatic documents. Why is It doubted! It Is becauso the Germans have not' allowed tho reproduction of th* document, which is _o damning ta their case. "Third���������Tho final Interview between. Sir Edward Grey and Priuc������ Llchnowsky (German ambassador al - London), This interview, purely prt- * vato, was held at a privnto house and, no record was made of it. . But, Sir 13- Grey is certain Unit he never made tho statement quoted by the North ' uerman Gazette with regard to -tho decisivo factor in Groat Britain's participation ln the war, nor did he speak of mediation in favor of Germany. If noed bo, a fuller sti>'ement will be made in parliament on tha subject. '"'.Fourth���������The' Immediate cause o_ . this war was-the dispute between. Austria and Serbia, which then turn-' . ed Into a dispute between Austria and Russia.' Yet lt is worthy of nota that it was Germany who declared war against Russia and France. The.: Austrian ambassador remained ia Petrograd after tho German- ambas- ' sador left. Germany declared - war. . on Russia on August 1 and Austria on August 6, 191-1." Wolves Aid Germany A Paris correspondent writes:��������� "Wolves as Germany's allies is surely tho last word in tho war, but this has liberally happened at tho chateau do Monjiistlr., which Hob midway between Voaoiii aud VUlersexel, about twenty miles from Uelforl. Tho placo is famous for its brood of horses, and, in nplto of government requisitions, there aro slill somo left. Ono night last month four of tho horsos, while grazing in a Hold doso to the chateau, woro uttiickod by wolves, and, after being chased for hours until limy wero nearly dead from fright and exhaustion ,t\vo wore killed, the others boing badly mutilated, Tho wolves had been driven from tho Argouno or the Voagos by the military operations.

It is rumored in many circles that' England has recently perfected and satisfactorily tested an enormous cannon far superior to anything of the German army���������a 17 inch gun with a range of twenty-five miles.plt is also rumored, the allies in the west have a number of these guns with ample ammunition and that all is prepared for the long expected western d -ive ;as soon'as the proper time arrives. None of the warring countries is anxious for a second winter ..campaign. Many eminent thinkers aro looking for an enormous effort on the western front at al- rn.Qa.t_an__.ttma now.' _Q_ne thing we may rest assured of, there ^is a thorough understanding between the allies. They are playing'a gigantic game and each of the allies is fully posted as to all moves of tho others. So, when th. German drive against Russia' has reached a predetermined point we may bc sure of the move In the west, with Germany in a very tight box; her iinal struggles close, at hand, and the peace of the world uot far off.
