REPORTED AS HAVING BEEN SUCCESSFUL.London, Sept.24\u2014Two squadrons of British naval airmen made a dar- \u2018ing raid yesterday from Belgium against the German Zeppelin airship bases at Dusseldorf and Cologne.The attack upon Dusseldorf was officially reported as having been successful.Lieut.C.H.Collet dropped three bombs there on a Zeppelin shed, sweeping down to within four bun- dred feet of his target.The attack on Cologne apparently failed of ite object, as the official announcement fails to mention it.An Antwerp paper, however, says that four bombs fell on the Zeppelin camp at Pickerdoré and set fire to the hangars The squadrons making the raid into Germany are believed to have con- , sisted of five aeroplanes, with a navigator and an assistant in every machine.The novel expedition started from an unmentioned base.The weather was misty, which assisted in the secrecy of its apptiach to the intended scenes of operation.It is though in some circles that the weather conditions may have caused a hitch in the schedule of the aeroplanes and that it is possible that the two bombs which were dropped on the Dutch town of Maastricht.near the German border, Tuesday, from a mysterious aircraft, may have come from one of the British fliers.Fortunately no fatalities resulted from the explosions in Maastricht.VILLA ANNOUNCES HS IHOFPEDENCE STATE OF CHIHUAHUA IS IN OPEN REVOLT AGAINST THE PARTY IN POWER.El Paso, Tex, Sept.23\u2014Ceneral\u2019 Francisco Villa, dominant leader in Northern Mexico, tonight denounced the central government headed by Venustiano Carranza and announced Bis independence in a statement sent to the Associated Press.This placed the State of Chihuahua {n open revolt against the party in power at Mexico City as well as Sonora, the next border state to the west, where Governor Maytorena previously has proclaimed his independence of the Constitutionalist party as represented by Carranza.Villas statement, in which he asserted that besides Chihuahua and Sonora, Zacatecas and a part of Coahuila, Carranza\u2019s native state, had ALLIES DRIVE BACK GERMANS ELEVEN MILES ENEMY BOMBARDS SOISSONS AND NOYON\u2014MANY ARE WOUNDED IN BATTLE.Paris, Sept.23\u2014General Joffre, the Commander-in-Chief of the French army, is devoting much attention to the western wing on the battle line where the fighting has been incessant night and day.The Allies, since the beginning of the battle of the Aisnehave pushed back the Germans a distance of nearly eleven miles, forcing them to seek a further defensive position on the plateaus and in the rough country, which, however, offer excellent opportunities for entrenchment.The headquarters staff has been enabled to make a long movement forward towards the north.The town of Soissons has been subjected to a furious bombardment for nine days.The cannonade starts each day at dawn and continues until eight o'clock in the morning It then ceases and : begins again at 4 o'clock, continuing until 7 in the evening.The Cathedral and other buildings have been greatly damaged.The German artillery is posted to ! the north-east of the town, while the French guas occupy an emplacement to the south-east.There appears no necessity for the shells to fall on the town itself, as the French troops are | stationed a considerable distance from sit.Noyon is also suffering from the German gun fire, but the fine Cathedral up to the present has escaped.Today's advance of the allied troops entailed very severe fighting, in which the artillery played a great part.The combat had lasted for 24 hours, but eventually the Germans yielded ground after sustaining a large number of casualties.The Allies were also heavy losers.Many ambulance trains have left the front for provincial cities, carrying German and French wounded.Large numbers of serionsly wounded British officers and men have been transported to the American and other hospitals in Paris.Among the killed today was General Dupuis,

on the outcome of the attempt of the allied forces to outflank the German right wing.At any rate, the French official report issued this afternoon, while it speaks of an advance made by the Allies\u2019 left in the region of Lassigny, and unofficial reports say that this advance was one of 18 kilometers (about 12 miles), simply records the repulse of several violent attacks by the Germans and the fact that elsewhere the situation remains unchanged.Military experts, however, warn the public not to ignore the German efforts to force the French barrier chain at its more assailable points.It requires a lot af patience to wait for the result of this battle, but so confident are the English and French that their armies will be successful that they are not worrying much.In Galicia the Russians are pushing steadily on to their goal, which for the moment is Przemysl, They apparently have that place pretty well surrounded by now, for, following the capture of Jaroslau, they announced today the occupation of Wislok, a town on the Hungarian border, south-west of Przemysl, and an important station on the railway which runs from Sanok through one of the passes of the Carpathians to Zemplin and thence to Budapest.Wislok was probably taken by that patt of the Russian army which advanced from Lemberg by the southern route to cut off the retreat of the Austrian army through the Carpathians to Hungary.It rs also another link in the chain which the Russians are drawing around the fortresses of Przemysl and Cracow.On the German frontier the Russians are in close touch with the German forces, according to their report, but no fighting has occurred.The Servians record their almost daily successas.This time it is the capture of Liubovia, on the River Drina.The event of the day has been the flight of British naval acroplancs from Antwerp to Dusseldorf, approximately a distance of 500 miles, in the course of which they dropped bombs in Zeppelin sheds of the German aerial fleet which would cooperate with the German navy in case of a raid on England.The Official Bureau intimes that the flight was undertaken with a view to warning the Germans that if any more bombs are dropped on unfortified towns in Belgum or France, the Allies can retaliate.It is quite likely that the warning is also intended to include London, which has been looking for a visit from the Zeppelins for some days.The flight of the British acroplanes was one, so far as distance is concerned, that they were quite used to, as for some time the British flying men have been put to the test.They have made flights from Montrose; Scotland, to Salisbury, which is about the same distance as the round trip between Antwerp and the Rhine fortresses.It has not been possible as yet to make up the rolls of the losses occasioned by the sinking of the British cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy by German submarines, but, thus far, out of 2.200 officers and men on the ships 1,067 have been accounted for, and it is hoped that trawlers and other vessels will bring in more survivors.The landing of some of the survivors in Holland has raised the interesting question as to whether they must be interned until after the war.It has been taken for granted that this would be the case, but the point is now brought forward that they are really shipwrecked sailors and are entitled to the hospitality of a neutral country as such until they are ready to return home.A similar case arose at Che-Fu during Japan's attack on Port Arthur.A number of Japanese, whose ships were sunk at Port Arthur, were brought to the Chinese port, and the Russian consul asked that they be interned.They were finally al- It is announced by the Newcastle Coal Exchange that owing to the inability of the German coalowners to execute the contract for supplying the Portuguese railways, the contract has reverted to a British colliery.This is the first reported instance since the outbreak of the war of the diversion of business from Westphalia to this country.Baron Lovat, late Lieutenant Colonel commanding the Highland Territorial Mounted Brigade, has been granted the temporary rank of Brigadier General, and the Duke of Marlborough that of Lieutenant Colonel.; PROGRESS MUST BE SLOW Paris, Sept.33\u2014The French official communication issued (Continued pa Page Seven) ?PROGRESS OF ALLIES IS SLOW Battle Has Developed Into War Of Assault On Entrenchments With The French And British Attacking-Russians Continue Pursuit Of Austrians In Galicia-No Engas | gement On German Frontier-Servians Retake Liubovia-Germans Mine Approach To Brussels-Survivors From Sunken Cruisers Are Landed u WAR SUMMARY Again the status of the warfare on the long line in France remains unchanged, according to the official report of the French War Office.The batle has developed into à war of assault, with the Allies in the role of attackers against the strongly entrenched positions of the Germans, which are fortified with large and small artillery pieces and are hedged about with barbed wire entanglements.The French report says that in these circumstances progress of nccessity must be slow.In the eastern war zone, the Russians report that they are still pursuing the retreating Austrians in Galicia, while on the German front the German and Russian armies are in close contact.No engagement has occurred here as yet, however.A press despatch says the Servians have retaken Liubovia from the Austrians and that in the fighting the losses were heavy.A news agency despatch is authority for the statement that the Germans have entrenched and mined the approaches to Brussels and also are fortifying the region around Ath, north-west of Mons, with the purpose of preventing the Belgrans falling on the Germans should the Germans be forced to retreat from France.; ] / China has replied to Germany's protest of China's violation of neutrality by permitting Japanese troops to land in China, saying she was unable to defend her neutrality.The latest estimate of the casualties in Tuesday's North Ses disaster gives 1,067 of the 2,200 officers and men on board the three warships as lost.CL.British acroplanes have invaded Germany and dropped bombs on a Zeppelin airship hangar at Dusseldorf.The Germans claim that no damag was done by the acrial attack.A Venice despatch says the Hungarian Minister of the Interior reports that there have been nine cases of Asiatic cholera among the wounded in Hungary.J \u2019 According to a despatch received from Paris, a Russian cruiser has sunk a German cruiser and two German torpedo boats in the Baltic Sea.BRITISH AIR CRAFT | DELIVER AN ATTACK.ON ZEPPELIN SHED RETURNED DROPPING ra?Lake Edward The finest fishing and hunting territory in Canada.EASY

or international obligations.The vialotion of the neutrality of heroic Belgium was a dastardly act that has few parallels in history.And this infamy has been typical of the German campaign, War is terrible enough under any conditions; but this war has been renedered yet more terrible by the pitiless savagery of the German army, savagery that has placed the Kaiser before the world as the chief of a horde of assassins.For the massacring of non-combatants, the binding together of prisoners as a shield for German soldiers, the mutilation of the wounded, the perpetration of unspeakable outrages against women and children, the burn ing alive and burying alive of helpless men, the indiscrimimte sowing of mines in the high seas; those are not acts of war, they are atrocities worthy of fiendish assassins.The German campaign was infamous in conception and it has been diabolical in execution.An ordinary man who commits a murder is sent to the gallows.The despot who is responsible for this orgy of murder and outrage is hailed as the great and august War Lord of 8 nation that prides itself upon its intallectuality, and German eulture.intellectuatity, and Geoman culture.What grim irony in

battalion of the Lincoloshire regiment, the Tenth Foot, of the British army, stationed at Bermuda, was embarked for the front and its place taken by the Royal Canadian regiment, was told yesterday by Chester A.Lyons, who returned from Bermuda on board the Trinidad, of the Quebec line.Mr.Lyons managed to obtain several interesting photographs of the arrival and leaving of the regiments.It was on September 14, according to Mr.Lyons, that the Lincolnshires, who were ready to march, were informed that their .ransport was ready.The battalion, 950 officers and men, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel G.B.McAndrew, marched from Prospect Barracks to the quay at Hamilton.Out in the harbor, Mr.Lyons said, too far away for her name to be distinguished, lay a transport.surrounded by tenders.These vessels left her and started for the shore, filled with soldiers.Th:y were the men of the Royal Canadian regiment, who had come to take the Lineolnshires\u2019 place.As fast as they were landed they fell in at the quay, then the regiment marched past the waiting Lincolnshires, the men of both regiments cheering wildly.The Lincolnshires then filled the tenders and in another hour were on board the transport and she was under way, convoyed by a warship.\u201cThe entire operation was carried out without fuss,\u201d said Mr.Lyons.\u201cThe men went about their work quietly, every man seeming to have his place in the embarkation.The only cheering was done by the soldiers themselves.The townspeople stood quietly looking on.Colonel McAndrew made a short address to the city officials, thanking them for their hospitality to the Lincolnshires during the battalion's stay of nearly \u2018a year, and he and his men were wished a God speed in turn.\u201cThe men seemed to be very glad to go.\u201d Mr.Lyons asserted.\u201cThe wives and families of the officers, who accompanied them on board the transport, 31d who will, of course, be left in England, were very quiet.Friendly parting between Bermudians and the soldiers were many.\u201cNine hundred atrong, the Royal Canadians took the place of the Lincolnshires, and, ao Me.Lyons heard, will be kept at Bermuda for several months, when they in turn will go to the front.being replaced by another Canadian regiment.The first battalion of the Lincolnshire regiment is at present at the front, and, according to despatches, has suffered severely in the earlier stages of the fighting.ENFORCED SERVICE IN GREAT BRITAIN ARTICLES IN SPECTATOR QUOTES LINCOLN ON CONSCRIPTION FOR FUTURE NEEDS.In a few seconds ail except a | The German

New York, Sept.23\u2014Financial developments of the day, so far as they bore upon domestic conditions, were of a hopeful charater.The outcome of the New York City $100,000,000 loan, with the notes already quoted at a substantial premium, and the energy manifested by the leading bankers of the country in connection with the gold pool wes regarded as sure indications of returning confidence.There was a renewal of the gold movement to Canada, over $3,000000 being shipped to Ottawa, presumably in connection with the city loan, to which participants paid their second instalment today.Foreign exchange \u2018noved uncertainly again, early bills being sold under yesterday's high rates, but rebounding later on an unexpected demand for cotton bills, some of which it was said, were for Berlin and Hamburg.In the local mor.ey market loans were made with more freedom, some at 7 | per cent.Another feature was the better demand for commercial paper, at a shade under that rate, by interior banks.The weekly reviews of the steel trade authorities furnished the only discordant note of the day, it being lately declared that conditions have grown worse instead of better.Consumers, it was asserted, are well provided for the balance of the year and | the money market is calculated to restrict new buying.It is not denied that there have been price concessions in same products.Lower prices have stimulated a better demand for copper, but the further curtailment of the operations at Michigan and Montana points of production is viewed as an infallible barometer of the adverse conditions in that industry.Despite à reduction in operating expenses of almost $700,000, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad reported a net loss for August of $235,000.Cables from London, touching upon the efforts under way to resume trading there on a modified basis, were received with much interest.It was still the conservative opinion that no attempt shouvid be made to reopen the local exchange until the British moratorium is lifted and greater ease is assumed to the international money market.MARKET LETTERS.Received over the private wire of Breen & Gourdeau, stock brokers, 63 St.Peter st.and 6 Sault au Matelot.Chicago Grain Quotations, Wheat\u2014 High.Low.Close.September .10834 107 108% December .11254 110 111% bid May .o.oo.11936 117 11934 asked Corn\u2014 September .79 78 78 bid December .72 71% 71% bid May , «.oove 7438 73% 7436 asked Oats\u2014 September .4736 47 47% asked December .50% 4934 5036 asked May.53% 52% 83) bid THE TORONTO PRODUCE MARKET Toronto \u2014 Quotations are as follows: Wheat\u2014Ontario, No.2 winter $1.10 to $1.12 outside, according to location, Manitoba, No.1 northern, $1.18; do., No.2 northern, $1.17.Oats \u2014 Canada western, No.2, Sdc; No.3 do, 3c at lake ports for immediate shipment.Ontario, No, 2 white, new, 47¢ outslde.Corn\u2014American, No.2 yel, 83Kc ¢.i.f.Collingwood.Barle, to 65c outside for mait- ing.Flour\u2014Manitoba, listed quotations at Torénto are: First patents, $6.60, Ontario, winter, 90 per cent patents, $8 to $6.15 aeuboard.$24.50; Millfeed\u2014Manitoba bran, (From Barry & McManamy.)

but à correspondent wants to know why the general staff was omitted.The best answer is that it was omitted because the most important duties of a general staff are not discharged in battle.The members do their work long before war is declartd; but, since success or victory may depend upon the intelligence and the thoroughness with which these duties are discharged, it is proper that the work of the general staff should be considered and explained.What the spy does in time of war the general staff does in time of peace, It makes preparations for war, gathers every piece of available information regarding a possible enemy, and plans the campaign in advance.It is a common notion that these plans are the product of the War Office, but the fact is that the War Office and the general staff are distinct.The dutics of the War Office, as laid down by a \u201cEuropean Military Officer,\u201d who writes in the New York Sun, concern the purely administrative functions relating to finance, military justice, the providing of armament and all equipment, | recruiting and all material provision for the feeding, clothing and housing of the men, and the care of the animals belonging to the army.Preparing For War.It is the work of the general staff to study, organize and determine the use of the country\u2019s armed forces on land and sea; the general staff is in comtant communication with the Forei Office concerning the political relations with other countries, and the Foreign Secretary immediately communicates to the general staff if he sees upon the horizon the slightest cloud that might darken international relations.The duties of the general staff are divided into several sections, CANADA, Province of Quebec, District of Quebec, SUPERIOR COURT No.2927.Re: OXFORD SILVERWARE CO.REGISTERED, Insolvent.NOTICE is hereby given that on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29th, 1914 at 11 o'clogk am., will be sold at our offices, assets of this company ae foi- ows: (a)\u2014Stock chocolate, etc.$251.24 (b)\u2014Office furituare .129.50 (c)\u2014Typewriter .120.00 Terms of sale: CASH.The inventory list can be examined at our offices;

but, apart from thesc details, the general staff can easily acquire all the ntcessary information.The proof of its ability is the use it is able to make of its knowledge.Present Plans Long Formed.We have seen that the Kaiser embarked upon the present war with a definitt plan of campaign.France has such a powerful chain of forts upon her German border that the Kaiser realized that to penetrate French territory south of Belgium, and thus advance upon Paris, would be a long-drawn-out and perhaps an impossible task.Therefore he chose rather to incur the hostility of Britain than to give up the plan prepared by his general st:Ÿ for an invasion of Belgium.It is to he assumed, also, that France perceived that Germany would invade Belgium rather than attempt a direct invasion of France itself.Britain, toe, is not likely to have been caught napping, and it is plain that Belgium was not wholly unprepared for the events of the past fortnight.First Moves Can Be Predicted.Germany knew what she would attempt; Britain, France and Belgium knew what she would attempt.and therefore knew what they would do.Did Germany also know what thex would do, and make plans to defeat their plan?This is the problem that will be settled, probably, in the course of the next few days.It is extremely unlikely that any of the great movements that will take place in the early stages of the war are decided upon by the generals in their tents overnight.They have been decided upon by the respective general staffs of the warring nations.Tn a war that fasts a year the skill of generals comes into play after à few months, when there has been\u2019 opportunity for the unseen to arise, for half a dozen defeats to take place where half a dozen victories or only a couple of defeats have been anticipated.But we may say that up to the present time the plan of campaign, as decided upon NOTICE TO STOCK Accumulated Funds .\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u20260.Revenue for the Year .amounted te $5,067,920.00, being at the ali with profit policies.1 shorts, $27 per ton on track, Tecontofy 111 Mountain INVESTORS We have for sale blocks of various Municipal and Public Utility Bonds, which constitute absolute safe investment, at prices consistent with present market conditions.BREEN & GOURDEAU AND BOND BROKERS 63 ST, PETER STREET, and 6 SAULT AU MATELOT STREET, Telephone 188.THE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY vascososses v00sorse.000 n$67,000,000 » 7,825,000 Assots ja Canada .\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.seursocnes sacoosocoro000000 17,000,008 Over $10,000 paid daily in Claims, Endowments, ete.The Reversionary Benus of Policyhoiders for period of 190$ te 1910 rate of $15 per $1,000 per annum on ©.W, MORTON MASSEY, Chief Agent, Hill, Quebes, aprii2Sxly, Notice of Assignment In the matter of: MISS E.DES- ROCHERS, of Levis, Milliner, Insolvent;

Sept.23\u2014-The full text of the signed statement of the German Chancellor, Theobald Von Beth- mann-Holiweg, given in Berlin to the representatives of the American press, ard in which he declared, the Emperor \u201chas complete confidence in the sense of justice of the American people who will not let themselves be hoodwinked by the campaign of lies which our foes are waging against us,\u201d was received by the United Press today from Karl H.Von Wiegand, its staff correspondent in Berlin.The statement, issued under date of September 4, follows: \u201cI do not know what is thought in America of this wah But | assume that since its beginnifg the exchange of telegrams between His Majesty the Emperor and the Czar of Russia and the King of England has been made publie.\u2018This proves irrefutably that our Emperor strove until the very last moment to maintain peace.His efforts were destined to remain futile because Russia was determined to have war at all hazards, while England, which for a whole decade had been fomenting enmity against the German national soirit in Russia and France, now found a splendid opportunity to prove its oft asserted desire for peace, but preferred to let this go by: other wise the war of our country with France and England could have been avoided.\u201cOnce the official archives are opened the world will Jearn how often Germany put forth a hand of friendship toward England.But England wanted none of Germany's friendship.Jealous vf the development of Germany and feeling that the English were being surpassed by German efficiency and German industry in many fields, Engtand longed to overthrow Germany by sheer force of arms, just as of yore it ground down Spain, Holland and France.\u201cAccordingly, England thought the proper moment had come, and therefore made the German advance into Belgium a welcome pretext for taking part in the war.But Germany was driven to this advance into Belgium becante we had to anticipate the planned French advance into Belgium for which the Belgians were only waiting to make common cause with France.That this wes only a pretext for England is proved hy the fact that Sir Fdward Grey as early as the afternoon of August 2\u2014that is before Germany's violation of Belgian neutrality \u2014 unconditionally promised the help of England to the French ambassador at the Court of St.James.|

champion of liberty and justice, has allied itself with Russia, the apokes- man of the worst despotism, a country that knows no intellectual nor reli- ! gious freedom, and which treads under foot the liberties of whole peoples as well as of individuals.\u201cAlready England must begin to sce that she had made s miscalculation since Germany is winning the mastery over her foes.Therefore, England now tries to injure Germany by the most petty means, striking at our commerce and our colonies, while, regardless of the inevitable consequences for the common civilisation of our white race, England has provoked Japan to a predatory rald upon our colony at Kiau-Chau, and has led the negroes of Africa to battle against the Germans in our colonies there.\u201cAfter destroying all of Germany's means of communication across the ses, England went further and opened an all-round campaign of lies.Thus you Americans are told that German troops have burned down Belgian villages and cities, but you are not told that Belgian women gouged out the eyes of our helpless wounded men lying on the battle field.The officials of Belgian cities invited officers of our armies to eat with them, and then shot them dead across the table.Contrary to all faws of humanity, the whole civil population of Belgium was called to arms and Belgium civilians after their first friendly reception of our troops, shot
