hurled themselves against the French ling Verdun and Toul.Should cvery stroke be driven battle will be decided.8 The commencement of these two attacks in e disclosed by the French official statemens issued this dfternoon, but little is told of how they are progressing.Ihe action against the German right is described as a very violent general one, in which the French left encountered an army corps composed of troops which the Germans brought from the center of Lorraine and the Vosges.r The clash occurred in the district between Tergnier and St.Quentin, so that the French have made a considerable advance to the northwest since the last mention was made of this part of their army.The country is a rolling one.intersected by streams, canals and a perfect network of roads running in all directions.: i .The French report admits that the Germans have: succeeded in gaining a footing on the Meuse heigh.s and have pushed forward in the direction of St.Mihicl, bombarding the forts of Paroches and the Roman camp, which face each other across the Meuse.The communication, however, adds that, on the other hand, to the south of Verdun, the French remain.masters from Toul, have advanced

BUT HAVE NOT | | \u2014 Re WAR SUMMARY Two engagements which may have decisive results on the great battle which is being waged in northern France are being fought.The Allies have struck the German right wing to the north-west of Noyon, and the invading forces, on their part, have hurled themselves against the French line between Verdun and Toul.The beginning ot these attacks was announced in the French official statement issued this afternoon, but little was disclosed as to how the fights are progressing.The advance troops of the French came in contact with superior forces of the enemy on the right wing this morning and were compelled to give a little ground.Being reinforced.however, the French troops vigorously resumed the offensive.| This action is described as a very violent and general one.On the French right wing the enemy has begun to give way before the attacks of the Allies coming from the direction of Nancy and Toul, according to the French official report.The report admits that the Germans have succeeded in gaining 2 footing on the Meuse heights and have pushed forward in the direction of St.Mihiel (on the right bank of the Meuse, 20 miles south-cast of Verdun), but have not been able to cross the river.In the southern region of Woevre, the enemy is retiring towards Rupt De Mad in the Department of Meurthe-et-Moselle.\u2018The action continues in that section.Some confirmation was given tonight of yesterday's report that the Germans have suffered a reverse on the Fast Prussian frontier.Several train loads of wounded have arrived at Pskov, agcording to a Petragrad despatch.having been engaged in severe fighting on the borders of Suwalki, where, they say, the Germans sustained heavy losses.The Amsterdam correspondent of Reuter's Telegram Company has sent a despatch to London saying, that actording to a telegram from Mastricht, great masses of German troops.are being transported into I'rance over the railway line running between Munich, Gladbach and Aix-la-Chapelle.A despatch reecived in London from Ostend says that 40.000 Germans have been eñtampedfr- the environe-aéWajerlon.since Saturday.| The invading troops Nävéstn stalled heavy siege guns at Grimbergen and Meysse.PUITS or 4.OF, It was officially announced in London last night that nearly 60 officers and 1.400 men were lost in the sinking of the Brit:sh cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy by German submarines in the North Sea.The Admiralty tonight published the reports of a totem vn.Wp ot mde Be ass on YY Lome patch, having been engaged in severe fighting on the borders of Suwalki, where, they say, the Germans sustained heavy losses.In Galicia the Russians have annexed a few more towns and vance against General Dankl, and, cventually, the fortress of Cracowthe Bosnian city of Sarayevo, the Austrians have retaliated by * resuming the bombardment of Belgrade, which during the early weeks of the war was under constant fire from the Austrians guns across the river.They have also attempted to cross the Danube, but, according to Servian reports, have failed.The French and British navies have annexed the Island of Lissa, in the Adriatic.The object of this capture, according to Italian reports, was to induce the Austrian fleet to come out and accept battle.The Australians navy also has been busy again, and has added another German possession in the South Pacific to its list of captures.This time it is Kaiser-Wilheim's Land, the German portion of New Guinea, one of the Emperor's most valuable colonies in that part of the world.It is expected that Admiral Patey will take the rest of the German Pacific islands, leaving a small garrison at each.To fill up the gaps in the ranks of the officers, caused by the casualties in France, the War Office is promoting a large number of noncommissioned officers to the commissioned ranks.The first list of these appeared tonight.German airships and aeroplanes have again been: flying along the Belgian and French coast and have dropped bombs at Ostend and Boulogne, without doing a great amount of damn- age.They have not ventured across the Channel, but are fully expected to do so when conditions are favorable.While these craft drop bombs, the object of their flights doubtless is to find out what the Allies are doing on the coast.The Germans expect some move in that direction, as, according to reports from Belgian and Dutch sources, they are strengthening their positions through the occupied territory.OFFICIAL STATEMENT.Paris, Sept.25\u201411.17 p.m.\u2014The official communication issued at eleven o'clock tonight regarding the progress of the battle in northern France, says that this morning French troops in the region of Noyon were compelled to give ground before superior forces, but having been reinforced.again assumed the offensive, the engagement being one of particular violence, The text of the statement follows: \u2014 \u201c1.\u2014On our left wing in the region to the north-west of Noyon our advanced troops having come in contact with superior forces of the enemy were compelled this morning to give a little ground.Being reinforced, howeve:, by fresh troops, these troops have vigorously resumed the offensive.\u201cThe struggle in this region has taken on a character of extreme violence.\u201c3.\u2014In the center there is nothing new to report.*3,\u2014On our right wing the enemy has begun to give way before the attacks of our troops coming from the direction of Nancy and Toul., \u2026 \u201cIn che southern region of Woevre, the

of these places, however.It is expected in London that the German aviators will ven- [ ture across the English Channel when conditions are favorable.À despatch to London from Berlin says the General Staff admits that the official lists of prisoners, as previously published, have been found to be erroneous.It is announced that the aggregate number of prisoners now in German hands is 50.000 instead of 250, 000 as previously reported.| Of those held, 30,000 are Russians.40,000 GERMANS AT WATERLOO HEADQUARTERS ESTABLISHED AT RUYBBROECK-PASS.PORTS REFUSED AT BRUSSELS, (ons CIVIL ENGINEER &

Correspondence of the Associated Press.) London, Sept.17.Remarkable tales of novel engines of war are appearing in all parts of Europe, but nothing bas yet equalled the reports circulated concerning new guns used by the French in firing turpentine, a substance said to produce instantaneous and painless death lor every living thing within its reach.Although it is so deadly in its work, turpentine cannot be objected to on the ground that it violates humane principles of war.In fact, it is so humane that it must not be compared with lyddite and other explosives which have deadly fumes.English correspondents have reported that entire lines of German soldiers stood dead in their trenches as a result of the fumes from the mysterious turpentine discharged by the Fernch in engagements along the Marne.The dead Germans are

because of the experience of Paris with German bombs.A few perions were killed there but the Parisizns in a way enjoyed the visits of the German airships, which ordinarily sailed over the French capital about 5 o'clock in the afternoon.Great crowds thronged into the streets to sex the aerial visit- ers and showed littie fear of the yombs dropped from the sky.LLOYD-GEORGE DID NOT EXPECT WAR

ENCHES.EXPLAINS BATTLE ON RIVER AISNE FRENCH MILITARY EXPERT GIVES HIS IDEAS REGARDING GERMAN ATTACK.| Rousset, writing in the Petit Parisien, says: \u201cThe enemy, perceiving the danger to his right wing, as indicated by the communication Friday afternoon, has perceptibly reinforced it to the detriment of the centre and left.This explains the violence of the battle which is heing waged between the Somme and the heights on the left bank of the Oise, but in dong this the enemy stripped his front and we have profited immediately by advancing toward Berry and Moronvillierers.\u201cThe situation of the Germans would become perilous if the line which they hold breaks in the centre and the position of their forces on the right would be endangered.It is because of this disquieting prospect that they are redoubling their efforts against the heights of the Meuse.We learn that they possess the promontory of Hatton Chatel, not probably without difficulty, and that they are marching on the St.Michiel.\u201d Lieut-Col.Rousset refers to the difficulties of the territory .nfront- ing the Germans whose left wing is menaced by the mobile garrison of Toul and declares that even should the Germans succeed in their effort they would not become masters of the French fortified front.They would have to descend the heights of the Meuse and cross the river under fire, and the forts of the centre, which are stiff intact.would constitute a serious danger to the operations.\u201c1 imagine then,\u201d adds the writer, \u201cthat this now offensive is a simple demonstration to draw our attention from this side, and if it assumes serious proportions the army will know how to find convenient dispositions to check it.\u201d CERMAN FINANCIAL STANDING GOOD IMPERIAL BANK OF GERMANY EQUAL

agriculturists of Canada should not | export twice as many oats as they did lin 1912, I In the case of hides and leather there also appears to be opportunity | for great expansign of Canadian trade swith Britain.Although Canada is an | exporter of live cattle and beef.it {does not appear that she exports hides lor leather tn any extent.In the year \"under consideration Germany sent to !Great Britain 2.300.000 pounds worth \"of leather and hides while Canada's | contribution was but 177000 pounds, \u2018and the total import was well over 17.000.000 pounds.This does not in- \u2018clude leather manufactures.of which Canada sent nothing, while Germany\" \u2018trade was valued at 1.280937 pounds.| | There should be much opportunity | for trade in paper and pulp.in both of which articles Germany's trade with, Britain far outstrips that of Canada.In paper the total import was more : than 7.23400 and in wood pulp 4.-.418420 pounds.Canada supplied less than 240.000 pounds worth of bath, while the purchase Hy Britain from ; \"Germany vas more than 2.800.000 pounds.There is abundanee of pulp | wood in Canada and one of the argu- | ments used again-t reciprocity was \u2018that it would destroy the Canadian pulp and paper industry.Since 1911 that industry has made more than 2; little progress.but it would appear: ttat the npportunity offered by the British market has not heen fully | taken advantage of.! Another pr-uliar feature of the return is that it shows that Canads dnes practically n° business with Great Britain in butter, although there is no \"apparent reason for this.Of course\u2019 the greater part of the butter import- | ed ints Great Pritain comes from ! ; Denmark, but still thtre was a reason- | ably good import of German butter in 1912 while the total of Canada\u2019s share of the trade was represented dy but one shipment to the value of 143 !pounds.There are numerous other {lines in which Canada should be able to increase her trade without con- sodering the highly specialized manu- |factores in\u2019 which Germany has hitherto defied competition.Whether Canada captures GCer- many's share of the trade of Britain, or whether\u2019 it goes to the United States, the loss to the Germans will not he lessened.1t should prove one of the most costly effects of the war and one which is given attention in time should work in no small degree to the \u2018advantage of this country.ORBAN V/RDLANTO0E ® $ PRESS COMMENT.5 Songonasnaononagd We all sre called upon to do service, snd our duty, in this war.The notice issued ia Great Britain, \u201cYour B | you if

\u201cPruitaastives\u201d Is the Only Medicine Made from Fruit Juice.It is Pleasant to Take and Acts Gently on the Whole System RUIT Juice consists of 91% water and 9% solid material.This solid material consists of about 8 parts sugary substance and one part of > an intensely bitter substance, which is the medicinal or curative principle of fruit.In order to get the full benefit of fruit in the ordinary way, one would have to eat huge quantities of fresh fruit.By the discovered process of making \u201cFruit.a-tives,\u201d the bitter material in fruit juice is made to grow or increase and thus a stronger fruit juice is created.Then, this stronger fruit extract is mixed with valuable tonics and antiseptics and made into tablets.Thys.we have concentrated and intensified fruit juices, and the practical use of Bruit as a medicine is brought within reach of all.Like frit juice, \u201cFruit-a-tives\u201d acts on the great blood purifying organs of the body\u2014the liver, bowels, kidneys and skin\u2014and stimulates all these parts to renewed activity.\u201cFruit-a-tives\u201d is the most powerful liver stimulant in the world.and bv it the kidneys and skin are stimulated to do more work.The splendid nerve tonics and antiseplics incorporated in \u201cFruit.a-tives\u201d make this medicine the finest of nerve restorers, while germs in the stomach and bowels are destroyed.\u201cFruit-a-tives\u201d will cure Indigestion or Weak Digestion, Dyspepsia.Kidney Disease, Constipation.Biliousness and Liver Trouble, Backache, Rheumatism and Rheumatic Pains, Sciatica, Lumbago, Neuralgia, Headaches and all indications of Impure Blood.Remember, that \u201cFruit-a-tives\u201d is the only medicine in che world that is made of fruit.There is nothing else as good,

Fisheries against the passage of the * bil} providing for Government ownership of merchant vessels engaged in \u201cthe foreign carrvinz trade points out the futilitv of this measure as 2 means of uphuilding our merchint marine and stimulating an increase of our foreign commerce.The report asserts that the establishment of a gavern- ment owned steamship line is a direct Attack upon invested capital and would mean ultimats destruction ot steamship lines which our citizens have built un and maintained in the carrying trade of the United States.Ti the bill became a law.the report i says.\u201cIt would stife all :ommercial \"enterprise and turn over to the gov.| | ernment itself the power to create a merchant marine.which power could be extended and enlarged as long as money remained in the treasury.and as much longer us Congress should ! provide hy taxation to renlerish the emergency and opens up \u2018the whole question of development of an American merchant marine by pro.| posing an absolute scheme of government ownership involving an expendi- \"ture of many millions of dollars, {which cannot fail to demand an in- | crease of taxes and which would have t ; - : 10 he horne by the American people.!
