Carinthian Alps.Shell Austrians Out of Trenches.Greece and Servia Remain Obdurate in Their Refusal to Con cede Territory.London, August 13.\u2014 (Special) \u2022\u2014The Russians for the time being are holding in check the Baltic flank of the German armies which are struggling to cut the Warsaw-Petrograd railway, and are battling towards the Dvina, beyond which lie the roads to the Russian capital.This hns been accomplished with the aid of reinforcements, and by virtue of one counter-attack after another.The fortress of Kovno still holds out.German attacks towards Riga nave been repulsed and the railway junction at Dvinsk remains in Russian hands.From Ostrolonka, north of Warsaw, to Oholm in the south the Teutons claim to have made further progress, but between the Vieprza and the Bug they apparently have been thrown back with heavy loss.It may be that Field Marshal Von Hindenburg has not exceeded his full power in the north, but is waiting events in the south before hammering his hardest towards the Dvina, near the banks of which his cavalry has been for some time.The fact that the Germans are able to advance with comparative rapidity due east from Warsaw while being checked on the right and left flanks, has given rise to the impression in England and in Russia that the stout resistance offered by the Russian wings will insure the safe withdrawal of the main body of troops from the Warsaw salient.Contrary to many reports, the main line of communication between the Polish capital and Petrograd has not been cut there.It would be cut if the Germans were to take Dvinsk, The approaching meetings of both the Greek and Serbian Parliaments give promise of bringing the Balkan situation to a head.For the moment Greece and Serbia remain obdurate in their refusal to concede territory.FRENCH OFFICIAL STATEMENT.Paris, August 13.\u2014 (Special) \u2014The War Office this afternoon gave out the following statement : \"In the Artois district a German attack last night to the north of the Chateau of Carleul was easily checked.\u201cIn the Argonne the Germans late yesterday afternoon renewed their attack in the sector between the roa cl from Binarville to

front.\u201d ACTIVE FIGHTING ON ITALIAN FRONT.Milan, August 13.\u2014 (Special) '-Austrian artillery has renewed its attempts to shell Monfalcone, but without result.The Italian artillery has been exceedingly active and successful along the Carinthian Alps.It.has shelled the Austrians out of trenches and enabled the Italian'infantry to occupy fresh positions.Austrian attack on the positions of Monte Modetta and an attempt place barbed wire defences there have signally failed.A violent attack on the Italian positions north of Goritz, near Plava, has been twice repeated, suppported by heavy

transport have been torpedoed in the Dardanelles by a British submarine, it was officially announced last might.The announcement says: \"The vice-admiral in the Dardanelles reports that orn of the British submarines operating in these waters sank a Turkish battleship on the morning of the 8th of August at the entrance of the Sea of Marmora.\"A Turkish gunboat, the Berk-I-Satvet and an empty transport have been torpedoed in the Dardanelles by one of the British submarines.\"In connection with the above, in a Turkish official communication dated the 9th of August, it was reported that the Turkish battleship Kheyr-Ed-Din Barharossa had been torpedoed by an enemy submarine.The Kheyr-Ed-Din Earbarossa was a former German battleship purchased by Turkey in 1910.The Turkish gunboat Berk-I-Satvet was built at the Krupp works in 1907.She was 262 feet long, 27 feet beam and 8 feet deep.She displaced 763 tons.She was fitted with 4.1 inch guns, six 6-pcunders, two one-pounders and three torpedo tubas.She had a complement of 105 men.Her speed was 22 knots.ELATED AT SUB\u2019S FEAT London, August 13\u2014Alter sinking the Turkish battleship Kheyr-Ed-Din Earbarossa, a gunboat and a trans1-port, says a despatch to the Times from Mitylene, the two British submarines which accomplished the feat drew close to shore and shelled a column of Turkish troops marching towards the town of Gallipoli, inflicting heavy losses upon them.The allies in the Dardanelles are greatly elated at the sinking of the Earbarossa, which was a thorn in their siites, because the accurate fire of its high trajectory guns more than hampered the movement ot the allied ships approaching the Gulf of Saros by firing across the peninsula.All foreigners in Turkey, the'limes despatch says, have been ordered to discard hats and wear fezes as precaution against insult and treatment by natives.For Men to Join Corps STATEMENT OF WHAT REQUIREMENTS ARE \u2014 RECRUITING BEGINS IMMEDIATELY.Major

liberty was as much in danger as Belgium or any of the allies, and in order that the Dominion should not come under the rule of Germany and its militarism, it remained for the Canadian people to do their full share in bringing the war to a successful issue.All were not of the age and the physical capacity to go to the front, but every man, woman and child could assist in some way.SIR WILFRID

feeling today in face of the reverses of the Russian army.If we have been having reverses, let me tell you that before the end of this war there must and will be other reverses, but there never was a war which was fought in any part of the world where the victorious party was universally successful.Reverses we must be prepared to meet and we had an anticipation of what that would be when at the beginning of the war that, great and good soldier, Lord Kitchener, told us that the war would last at least three years.We have just been through one year of it, so my fellow Canadians let us be prepared for two years more at least.This is the spirit in which we the Near East, where the diplomats i and _ st;U'b,>ori1 resistance wherever the of the Quadruple Entente powers are cobditiolia are

that is, by the use of moisture and long exposure to moderte warmth, which grows the distaste in the grains, and with long baking makes the remarkable change from starch to rttigar.Therefore, the most delicate stomach can handle Grape-Nuts and the food is quickly absorbed Into the blood and tissue, certain parts of it going directly to building and nourishing both body and brain.\u201cThere\u2019s a Reason \u201d Name if'ven by Canadian Postum Go., Windsor, Ont.Ever read the above letter ?A new one appears from time to time.They are genuine, true, and fall of human interest.Mrs.Miss Peas- BOLTON CENTRE.Arrivals and departures: Charles Rollit and daughter Monica, guests at Mr.J.H.ley\u2019s;

News, GRANBY MAN LIBERATED Court Held That Commitment by Justice of Peace Was Irregular and Illegal HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS GRANTED BY MR.JUSTICE LYNCH AT SWEETSBURG.Sweetsburg, Aug.13.\u2014(Special>.\u2014 Philibert Larivee, laborer, of Granby, committed to jail here by a warrant of committment issued by Justices of the Peace Louis Pare and Pierre Phoenix, of Granby, was yesterday released by Hon.Judge Lyncn, of the Superior Court, under a writ of habeas corpus, granted at the request of counsel for the prisoner, Mr.0>.L.Boulanger.The application for the writ was founded on the irregularity and illegality of the commitment.The defects, it appeared, were not few.No conviction was alleged in the commitment.It stated that a charge of \"disturbing the peace\u201d was laid against the prisoner, but did not show whether the man was tried and convicted on that charge.The name of the complainant was not even disclosed.The charge itself was not an offence under criminal law of the country.I)i)sturbing the*, peace is only a species of vagrancy and vagrancy must be charged against a disturber of the King's peaceful subjects.It is also necessary to indicate how the offender disturbed the peace, as you might as well charge a man generally with being a thief as charge him of disturbing the peace without specifying the means whereby such disturbance was caused.All those requirements were lacking in the commitment of Philibert Larivee to jail.In a marginal note of said commitment the prisoner was adjudged to Pay $5-00, without indicating whether it was afine or not ; and, moreover, this marginal note was not properly certified nor initialed.It was stated in the commitment that the prisoner could be released by paying into the hands of the jailer several sums of money, \"including the costs and charges of the commitment and the costs of conveying the prisoner to the common gaol,\u201d without indicating the amount of those charges and costs in order to enable the prisoner and the jailer to escertain what would the total amount to be paid by the former to obtain his release.Mr.Justice Lynch held that any of those grounds was sufficient to make commitmerd bad, and be had no alternative but to quash it and discharge the prisoner.Consequently, Larivee being brought before His Lordship with the return of the habeas corpus by Mr.R.M.Hiall, the jailer, he was given his liberty.FARMERS\u2019 DAY CHICAGO WHEAT AT LENNGXVILLE PIT MYSTIFIED About 500 Agriculturists Paid Representatives of the Allies Visit to Government Experimental Farm

fine condition, and as the visitors were j cooducted by the staff over the various departments they unanimously expressed their pleasure and satisfaction with the results already achieved, and they complimented the officials on their successful management to date, which all present felt gave promise of even better things in the future.The wonderful benefit which individual farmers might receive from visiting the farm may well be summed up in the remark of one of those present: \"It is a fine thing to have an experimental farm Tike this, where one can get plenty of hints be would never thing of.\u201d The flowers and vegetables were specially attractive and were much admired.Luncheon was served under the pine trees by the staff in the noon hour, and was followed by several short

number of ladies present, which showed their interest and was an evidence of their desire to assist in the work.He hoped everyone would come often, as he and the staff were there for the purpose of assisting them in their work, to discuss matters with the farmers and make and receive suggestions.CONGRATULATED SUPERINTENDENT.Mr.John Fixter, of the Illustration Farm, Ottawa, congratulated Mr.McClary and staff on the splendid turnout.He impressed upon the company the importance of feeling it was their farm, and said it was principally due to Mr.Cromwell, the farmer member of Parliament, that the district possessed it.Mr.Fixter urged everyone to make full use of the facilities provided, and specially begged the ladies to take an interest in the work.Mr.J.Begin, superintendent of the branch experimental farm at Ste.Anne de la Pocatiere, also offered his congratulations on the successful start, and hoped the people of the district would take full advantage of the farm, which would mean much in the way of progress and prosperity.He commended Mr.McClary to the French-speaking section of the community, as, having been brought ,up amongst them, he understood their needs and would render them all possible assistance.INSTRUCTIVE TALK ON FEEDING.Mr.E.H.Archibald, chief of the Live Stock Branch at Ottawa, followed with a very instructive talk on feeding, breeding and cow-testing.He advocated the keeping of more animals, saying that the live stock situation in the Eastern Townships was improving and prices were never more favorable than they promised to be at the present time.Mr.Archibald emphasized the necessity of maintaining a good standard of stock.Mr.A.A.MacMillan, sheep expert of Macdonald College, added a few words upon the advantage to be gained by practical demonstrations at the farm.DEMONSTRATION PLOTS.Mr.F.R.Cromwell, M.P., had a good reception.He much appreciated the privilege of being present, and expressed the hope there would be extensions from the farm in the way of demonstration plots in every township of the Eastern Townships.The L&perimental Farm was only a start, for which they had been yearning for years, and when certain things were found out, such as the most useful crop to grow in this part of the country, it should be I demonstrated in every locality.Farmers, if they organized demanded their rights, could whatever they wanted, because government was afraid of the .\u201e.mer, and he could only blame himself if he had been neglected in the past.Mr.Cromwell also spoke of the duty of the farmer towards supplying the needs of the soldiers at the front.He gave an interesting resume of the negotiations leading to the j location of the Experimental Farm, and paid a high compliment to Mr.McClary.whose work ho described as a grand success.The staff, composed of Messrs.0, Ritchie, J.A.St.Marie, G.0.Young and .las.Robinson, were introduced to the gathering.Before and after the luncheon, Messrs.Fixter,
