1.\u2014German military authorities had full and complete informatiou of the French plan for an offensive in April, 1917, former Premier Painleve told the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, repudiating a charge that the offensive was stopped by his order.He added that General Nivelle had decided to stop the offensive after three days of fighting, when it became evidently impossible that a break through the German lines could be made.The German general staff obtained, in some way a copy of the plan of offensive and took \u2019 necessary measures for causing the campaign to \\ fail.\u2019oooooQQa ILgJLiLSULtLlUUULSULiLSLiLiLSLSUllL^\tgagSPOOoT been lost in the wreck of an unnamed British BAIT1C SITUATION PRESENTS VERY DANGEROUS despatch received here from Helsingfors.No

Will Furnish the New Armies is a Very Serious Question\u2014Britain Not Enthusiastic About Embarking on More Military Expeditions and Shedding More British Blood.If the loss of lives reported in the foregoing despatch is as large às indicated, the disaster will mark a new record in the annals of the sea.It would seem probable the ship which was wrecked was a military transport bringing British 9o!d^VI'i from Archangel, from which port Great Britain has been embarking large numbers of men during the last month.It is known that troopships have sailed quite recently from Archangel, Copenhagen advices received yesterday stating that Lettish soldiers who have been on the Archangel front have just landed at Riga and have been rushed to the front south ' f that city to meet onslaughts of German and Russian forces.The largest recorded loss of life in a marine disaster occurred when the Titanic was sunk after collision with an iceberg south of Newfoundland on April 14, 1912, the list of deaths showing 1,503 names.The Lusitania, sunk by a German submarine on May 7, 1915, carried with her more than 1,200 of her passengers and crew.When the Empress of Ireland was sent to the bottom in the Gulf of St.Lawrence on May 30, 1914, the loss of life was 1,027.One thousand died when the Japanese steamer Kickermaru sank in Australian waters on September, 28, 1902.(Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, October 11.\u2014Allied Powers have the hardest problem they have encountered since the armistice, thrust upon them by the Germam-RussmW1 attack on Rigra.It is believed the Lettish Civermmertt will expect the Peace Conference to furnish troops to resist General von Der Goltz and \"his Russian supporters, but who will furnish the new armies is a very serious question.There is certainly no enthusiasm in Great Britain for embarking on more military expeditions and shedding more British blood.Latest news received by the Government is described as confirming the view that Germany is deliberately scheming to secure a controlling position in Russia, and that she probably contemplates the occupation of Petro-grad.Altogether the Baltic situation is recognized as presenting acutely dangerous possibilities.ANY GERMAN MILITARY ACTION AGAINST THE REVOLTING TROOPS IS HELD TO BE IMPRACTICABLE EVEN NEAR BEER IS BARRED FROM SALE IN STATES \"Two-Point-Seven-Five\u201d Advocates Lose on

the war time and constitutional enforcement sections qf the measure.All provisions of the war-time section become effective as soon as the measure becomes law.After a vain final attempt by antiprohibition members of the House to block the measure by sending it back to conference the report was tpproved by a vote of 321 to 70.*\tKING ALBERT AND QUEEN * *\tELIZABETH HAVE AR- * *\tRIVED AT

has reached here from a J German officer at Mitau.The letter outlines the plan of campaign and tells of the intention of the German troops to dêfy the Berlin Government.The German Government is apparently genuinely anxious to liquidate the Baltic adventure, but lacks sufficient control, and this has resulted in large quantities of supplies being to the troops.Orders have been issued,

restore the \u201cScoot\u201d train, beginning Monday, October 20.\t^ A copy of the judgment has just been received by the Eastern Townships Associated Boards of Trade, which appealed to the Commission to order the restoration of the train as a necessity to the district served.The hearing took place at Ottawa on Tuesday, Messrs.V.E.Morrill and P.C.Duboyce, president and vice-president, representing the Associated Boards, and Mr.E.W.Tobin, M.P., joining actively in the effort to retain this train service for the district.THE JUDGMENT.The judgment is signed by the Chief Commissioner.Hon.If.B.Car-veil, and concurred in by the assistant chief commissioners and the deputy chief commissioner.It is as follows: \u201cThis is an application on the parti of the Board of Trade of the City of | Sherbrooke, on behalf of the public from Richmond to Coaticook, both inclusive, for the restoration of trains Nos.9 and 10, which were discontinued on the 28th ultimo.\u201cAccording to the evidence adduced, the revenue from passenear traffic alone amounts to about $100 per day, and the out-of-pocket expenses amount to about $90 per day, thus leaving $10 for this particular contribution towards general overhead expenses of the railway.While the margin of profit is small, yet considering the advantage which these particular trains are to the parties interested, I consider the train service should be restored, but, in doing so, I would not like to lay down the general principal that every local train between the main line points which breaks even between receipts and expenditures should become a permanent institution, but the decision should be governed to some extent by the necessity of the service to the travelling public.\u201cIn this particular case, the traffic from Coaticook to Sherbrooke would seem pretty well taken care of by the existing train service, but the traffic from Richmond to Sherbrooke, under existing conditions, would be very limited and quite unsuited to the necessities of the number of people living in that portion of Quebec, when we consider that Sherbrooke is the centre of the business activities of several counties in the Eastern Townships.\u201cI would, therefore, recommend that the order issue, subject to the ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft.ft ft ft ft BRITISH AND ITALIAN ft DIFFERENCES

strike now in progress along the New York waterfront.SITUATION IN THE BALTIC Bulwer, Que., was found yesterday, after a two weeks\u2019 search, in Lowell, Mass., and one Silva Breault is now being held on suspicion of its theft.The car disappeared from outside the storehouse of Hovey Brothers, where Mr.Hill had left it, and although a diligent search was made, there was no trace of the machine found until yesterday.At the time of the disappearance of the car, a number of packages were on the seat.Some of the packages were addressed, | and these the thieves lifted carefully out and placed on the sidewalk beside the place where the car had been.The unmarked packages, however, they took with them.The finding of the auto is another proof of the work and efficiency of the local police, who diligently notified the departments in various towns and cities throughout Quebec and the New England States, weaving a veritable web about the car.The machine was finally found in Lowell, according to a wire received by Chief A.Z.- Cou-Iture today, when two young men 1 were, it is said, attempting to sell it.I One of these, Silva Breault, was ar-¦ rested, while the other, one Joseph ! Cassirand, is still at large, according Col.E.J.Williams and Mrs.Williams, after a few days in Sherbrooke, are returning today to Montreal, I where they will take up their resi-j dence.Col.Williams feels that it] would be very difficult for him to go j back to general medical practice after his long absence overseas, almost en-; tirely devoted to surgical work, and expects to devote his attention to surgery in Montreal.The friends of Dr.Williams have] been delighted to find him enjoying splendid physical health after hist strenuous years in the service overseas, a large part of which time was spent in Island of Lemnos and Salon-iki districts.Speaking to the Record, Col.Wil-j liams paid a glowing tribute to the Canadian nursing sisters and to the members of the Canadian medical units generally.Their resourcefulness ; and adaptability to situations as they existed were remarkable, and they were equal to the occasion under the most trying circumstances.Col.Williams sees great difficulty in the establishment of permanent1 peace in the Balkan regions, owing to the extreme racial antipathy which exists.He found the Turk not to be! without admirable qualities and on; the whole more trustworthy than i some of.the other races of the Balkan territory.He made a very large col- ! lections of views and scenes in the East associated with the people and ! the war, and has had many of these made into lantern slides.The doctor has been advised that an illustrated! talk on this subject would be highly interesting to Sherbrooke people, and it is possible that he may find time to favor Sherbrooke in this connection.!

took place last .evening in the 53rd regbnental armory, headquarters of Troop No.2, Sherbrooke Boy Scouts, was the consecration of the troop colors, presented to Troop No.2 by the Great War Veterans\u2019 Woman\u2019s Auxiliary of the association, Rev.H.Reginald Bigg, rector of St.Peter\u2019s, officiating.The great hall was brilliantly illuminated, and the scene was impressive when the three corps, Nos.2, 5 and 5, entered in command of District Scoutmaster P.M.Dennis, and formed a hollow square.Troop j No.2 was in charge of Scoutmaster i Dennis, with assistant Ccoutmasters Giovetti, Hall and Harrison ; Troop No.3, Scoutmaster Baker ; Troop No.5, Scoutmaster Rev.E.C.Russell, and Assistant Scoutmasters Perry and Chamberlin.The guards were Scouts Lynn Spaf-ford and Reggie Quine, the King\u2019s colors being borne by Patrol Leader Trussler, and the troop colors by Patrol Leader Pitts.Standing at an improvised altar formed by the drums of the band.Rev.Mr.Bigg gave out the hymn, \u201cFight the Good Fight,\u201d which was heartily sung, and was followed by the Lord\u2019s prayer and collects.The flag was then consecrated, the district chaplain saying reverently, \u201cIn the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, we bless these ; colors, and pray that those who march j under its folds may be worthy.\u201d Mr.Bigg then addressed the scouts in Earnest words of wise counsel and advice, urging them, as boys, to live such lives as would fit them to become good and true men, as God, in whose image they were made, would have them to be.They had always before them the One Pattern, the One Perfect Man, whose example they must endeavor to imitate, and he emphasized the scout qualities of bravery, honesty and purity, especially dwelling on moral courage.\u201cAnd so, boys,\u201d he concluded, \u201cGod bless you and h(^p you now and al-| ways.\u201d After another prayer the National Anthem was sung and the bcriedic-i tion pronounced.Troops Nos :> nod ' then returned to their headquarters, and Troop No.2 entered upon a half hour of class work before they y,:i« dismissed.Among those present were the Rev.\u2019 G.Ellery Read, Colonel and Mrs.Worthington, Mr.W.E.Paton, president of the Scout Association, and Mrs.Paton, Mr.W.M.Langston, secretary of the association, and Mrs.Langston, Mr.T.J.Parke», Mrs.P.M.Dennis and others interested in the scout movement.COURT OF KING\u2019S BENCH GOLFERS HAVE PROGRAMME FOR THANKSGIVING Two Competitions Will Be Staged at the Local Golf Course on Monday.\u2014 Banking on the Weather Man to j provide suitable climatic conditions ; for the occasion, the members of the ; St.Francis Golf Club have drawn up | an elaborate programme for Thanksgiving Day.While the past season ! has probably been the most successful | in the history of the club, it is the \u2018 opinion of many of the golfers that club competitions have not been as numerous as should be the case.Consequently the committee has arranged for two club competitions ! on Monday, and it is hoped that there [ will be a full turnout of members.In j the morning a two-ball foursome com-j petition will be staged.Players are ! requested to notify Mr.Philip Robins ! if they intend to enter this competition a,s early as possible so that the draw may be made.In the afternoon a handicap sweep-stake will be the attraction and promises to draw a large number of players.In both competitions the handicap system will be in vogue, so that all players will have a chance of, carrying off the prizes.\t! Convicted on a serious charge, in which the complainant was a little girl of fourteen, Rufus Westover, of olton, was sentenced to six months at hard labor,\u2019 by District Magistrate Mulvena, in the last session of the Sweetsburg Magistrate\u2019s Court, which dealt with a large number of ebses.The case in question was unusually strongly made out, there being two witnesses against the accused besides the complainant, one of which was Westover\u2019s own son, whlie the other was a farmer who had come into the house, and finding no one downstairs, had\u2019 gone up.After Westover had been committed for trial, and asked for a speedy handling of the casa, the Court, after severely censuring the accused for his actions, sentenced him to six months at hard labor.On a charge of assault causing bodily harm to Mrs.Louise Labaise, C.B.Chappel, of Mansonville, was committed for trial, after the preliminary hearing had been made, and asking for a jury trial, the accused was admitted to bail.In connection with the same case, E.B.Chappel,.Frank Baillie and Henry White, all of Man-sonville, were found guilty on a charge of disturbing the peace and being drunk, and on agreement by the complainant, they were bound over to keep the peace for twelve months, in place of a fine.For infringement of the bicycle law, Walter and Guy McNamara, both of Granby, were each fined $10 and costs, on charge laid by C.D.Griggs.For failing to affix a war stamp to a package of tobacco, Napoleon Lavoie, of Eastman, was fined $50 and costs, while A.J.St.Pierre, of South Stukely, was assigned the same penalty on a similar charge in connection with a bottle of wine.With much contradictory evidence, many objections and complications, the case of Adélard Cote, of Potton, accused, of killing a heifer belonging to William McCaw, was finally settled with the committing of the accused to serve his trial.Charged with transporting liquor into a prohibited area, namely Missis-quoi County, Omer Lamoureux appeared and submitted evidence to \u201cThe Old Store with the Yoanf SPirit\u201d The History Of Civilization Shows that the Properlj Clothed Man Has Always Led the Parade.The history of the clothing business of this town is being powerfully influenced by our campaign for honest clothing values.You Know You\u2019ll Be Satis fied When You Come Here for a Suit!
