the patriotic \u2018und campaign in this city was fired last night when a demonstration took place at the Auditorium.preceded hy a military and automobile parade on King street, in which Berlin's new

implicated in the theft of a package of money amounting to $7,000, which was made up in the bank and dis appeared shortly afterwards.CANADIAN APPLES BADLY AFFECTED SIR GEORGE FOSTER WILL START CAMPAIGN IN INTEREST OF HOME MARKET Ottawa, Sept.26\u2014The Department of Trade and Commerce, under the direction of Sir George E.Foster, wil! conduct a Dominion-wide advertising campaign to increase the consumption of - Canadian apples throughout Canada.Although the tinest apples in the world are produced in this country many Canadians have had to conten! themselves in previous years with apples imported from the United States.This was due to the fact that Europe.appreciating the quality of Canadian apples, imported them ia very considerable quantities.The exports of Canadian apples to the United Kingdom have been running 1,500,000 barrels a year.In addition, seventy-five per cent.of all the apples evaporated have been exported to Germany, Austria-Hungary and otbe: countries in continental Europe.The war has resulted in a curtail ment of the market for Canadisn apples in Great Britain.It has also resulted in jeopardizing for this year the trade in ev: reed les with er or the clearing bcase for most trade.In view of these conditions the Department of Trade and Commerce, as a general effort to assist in creating new sources of demand to replace those cut off by the war, has been seeking to devise some means of ss sisting Canadian apple growers in quickly changing the market for Canadian apples from export to domestic channels.In order to effect thc change in the quickest possible way, the Minister of Trade and Commerce, Sir George E.Foster.has decided, after several conferences during the past week with the manager of the Canadian Press Association, Mr, John M.Irmie, to use the means that would be adopted by a business concern confronted with a similar situation.To advertise Canadian apples to the people of Canada in order to increase the demand for them in the home market.Al! that i; necessary in order to secure the increased consumption of Canadian apples in Canada is to let the Canadian know the food and other values of the Canadian apple and that instead of using imported fruits they may have this year the products of Canadian apple orchards that in previous years has graced the tahles of Europes nobility.As the apple crop is now ready for harvesting the announcement of Sir George Foster's plan will be welcome news to the apple growers throughout Cat ada.A the messages to the public had to follow, immediately and the preparation and handling of the campaign involved a great deal of work that had to be crowded into a short period the Department of Trade and Commerce decided to entrust the whole campaign to J.J.Gibbons, Ltdwho handle the advertising campaigns of many Canadian manufacturers.Expert advertising men are now in consultation with Sir George Foster.Hon.Martin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture and other officials of the Department of Agriculture, and the advertisements in the campaign will commence in a few days in pub.fications throughout Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific.MGR.DALY DEAD.Halifax, N.S., Sept.27.\u2014The Rt.Rev.Monsignor T.J.Daly.Vicar General of the archdiocese of Halifax, died today, aged 75 years.He was rector of St.Joseph's Church and one of the most esteemed Catholic clergymen in Nova Scotia.In July of 1911 he celebrated his golden jubilee.that (UNSWEETENED) - GORDON*S OLD TOM CIN GORDON\u2019S LONDON DRY GIN GORDON\u2019S SLO rr \u2018 many Wat?which it 5 ae Br French Claim Marked London, Sept.27, 9.15 p.m.\u2014Along almost two-thirds ot the great battle line across north-castern France the armies of the Allics and Germany fought ficreely today, at some, points with the bayonet, and tonight's statements from both sides are worded with the optimism which has characterized all'thesc of- cicial pronouncements.It was agreed that the\u2019 Allies had continued their advance.\u2019 The French claimed \u201cmarked progress,\u201d the German announcement from Berlin, though insisting that the advance had been repulsed, nevertheless teferred to it as an advance.Elsewhere along the battle front neither side seems to have achieved any notable success, The continued forward movement of the Russian troops in Galicia; the appearance of German air craft dropping bombs over various places in Belgium, and again in Paris and Warsaw, and the movement of bast bodies of German troops into Russia by way of East Prussia were chiefly significant in a summary of the events in both theatres of war.Of the German bombs thrown none seems to have done extensive damage.One man is reported to have been killed in Belgium and one in Paris.; Neither army has achieved anything notable since the Allies have reported progress in one direction.The Allies at one point claim to have thrown back a desperate advance by the crack Pruse sian Guard, and the Germans insist that today, with a weaker force, their right has checked the advance of a mixed French and British force brought up by rail.: is picture and romantic ght hiad bea killed By th ê guns and other equipment of modern armies is ot all a thing of the past.The French official communication saya that at some points the trenches are oniy a few hundred metres apart; thus a small portion of the millions engaged have been the stimulation and thrill of hand-to-hand fighting.Despatches from Petrograd report that fierce fighting still goes on in Galicia, though Cracow, towards which the Russian hosts have been marching ever since Przemys! was invested and the communications cut, has not yet been attacked.To the north, the German invasion is assuming vaster proportions, notwithstanding the Russian War Office insists that the Germans are being repuised at the frontier.It is estimated here that the German front extends from the Baltic coast to the southern boundary of Silesia, a distance of about 400 miles.\u2018 What opposition the Germans have met is believed to have been little more than a cavalry screen.The fighting centered again today along the River Niemen, from Druskeniki, in Suwalki, Russian Poland, to Sopotzkin.The official statement issued tonight at Petrograd said that the German artillery had been unable to assume the offensive at Sopotzkin and that their retreat was more or less general.There has been a dearth of naval news in the last twenty- four hours, and although the fall of the Austrian seaport of Cattaro has been reported imminent for several days, that event has not yet been recorded.The German Emperor's illness variously described last week as a severe cold and influenza, is now said to be inflammation of the lungs, due to the Emperor falling into a water-filled ditch.To the cholera, heretofore reported among the Austrian troops, has been added, according to an Antwerp despatch, ty phus fever, which is said to be raging in the German camps around Brussels and near Termonde.It is reported that several hundred Germans have already succumbed to this discase.Quick to realize, as did Germany, the necessity of a high birth rate to offset the deaths due to the war, 2 movement has been started in England to reduce the marriage fees and to encourage soldiers and sailors to take wives before leaving for the front, The Archbishop of Canterbury has addressed an open letter on the subject to « London paper.In German a similar movement was inaugurated some time ago.clusively that North Sydney, N.S., Sept.26\u2014The Brit'sh steamship Beatrice, employed in the coal-carrying trade between this port and Newfoundland, arrived here this morning from Bay Roberts and reported that she was halted about sixty miles out, while steaming at a fast clip through a light fog, by the Canadian cruiser Niobe.The Niobe fired two shots across the Beatrice\u2019s bow, but on the Beatrice showing her colors she was ordered to proceed.ALLIES; HURL BACK GERMANS

SUMMARY ._ For three long days -witheut-cessation the Germans have hurled their masses against the \u2018French and English along the entire front in Northern France.The French official view is that these operations, the fiercest that have yet taken place, are by high command, meaning possibly instructions from the Emperor himself.Their purpose has been to break through the allied lines, but both French and British official reports say they have failed.From Paris it is announced that not only have the Germans not been able to achieve their object, but they have lost a flag, munitions and men taken \u2018prisoners in the atempt.The British, as usual, are laconic.\u201cThe situation is satisfactory,\u201d they say, \u201cand the counter attacks on the British front have been beaten back with heavy losses to the enemy.\u201d The French claim appreciable progress on the left wing and a decisive victory over the famous Prussian Guard in the centre.Of the Wovre district, where the Germans have made gains in the last two or three days, little ia said.One of the remarkable things in this great battle, which has now entered upon its sixteenth day, is the spirit maintained by the troops.British, French and Germans have with.| stood the most terrific shelling the world has ever known, an almost constant rain of bul- |} lets from the rifles, and hand-to-hand encounters with gun and bayonet, but all reports agree that they are fighting with the same determination and tenacity as in the beginning and that | even the commanders in some cases are having difficulty in holding their man back.- i In the Far East, according to Japanese reports, the Japanese have defeated the Ger- 1 mans on the outskirts of Tsing-Tau, capital of the German protectorate of .Kiao-Chow.1: Though the battle lasted fourteen hours, the losses so far 2s known were small.\u2019 German Zeppelins have dropped bombs on Belgian towns.A German aeroplane has paid another visit to Paris, droppieg explosives in its flight, while a Zeppelin has also appeared above the city of Warsaw.But not meuch damage was done in any of these in- | stancés.The -Germes Emperor is now.- Only a day er two ago his ffth.son, rted.to be suffering from inflamntation of the Tangs rince Oscar, was obliged to withdraw from his regiment and is now being ¢ for a heart affection, the result of overexertion in the held.-

SATURDAY.inauguration of the series of Me où the Women's Canadian Club for the season of 1914-15 was suspiciously carried out at the Chateau Frontenac on Saturday afternoon when Mr.Wm, Taft, ex-Presi- dent of the United States, delivered 3 learned and interesting address on \u201cThe Presidency of the United States \u2018The spacious mg room at the Chateau Dever presented a more brillisnt wppearance than on Saturday afternoon and the attendance at the meeting, which included the elite of Quebec, wes one of tbe jargest in the annals of the club.Among those present were: His Hônor tbe Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Francois Langelier, Lady Langelier and Miss Langelier, Mes.Tait, Miss Helen Taft, Sir Louis Jette, Sir Lomer Gouin, Capt.Victor Pelletier, A.D.C.and Mde.Pelletier and numerous others.The speaker was introduced by Mrs.L.A.Cantion, President of the Club, in brief and fitting terms in the course of which she extended 3 hearty wel- cofe to Mr.and Mrs.Taft and on behalf of the Club she presented a beautiful bouquet to the latter.Mr.Taft, in dis opening remarks, said that after having visited various parts of Canada and having spent 22 summers at Murgay Bay he was beginning to feel that he was something of a Canadian.In the course of his highly interesting address Mr.Taft spoke as follows: \u201cIt requires some courage,\u201d said Mr.Taft, \u201cto come into a country like this under the present circumstances, to talk about one\u2019s own country.You are at present taking part in the greatest war in history, and are making the sacrifices and bearing the great burdens that such a war entails, and the gloom of war is uppermost in your minds and imaginations.\u201cAs a word of explanation, I may say that this engagement was made long before war was even thought of.1 would like to discuss the war, but I come from the United States, where President Wilson has issued instructions, and quite rightly too, that we preserve a position of the most absolute neutrality.We are the only great nation in the world which is still neutral, and it is in the interests of peace and the future happiness of the entire world that such a standard of neutrality be preserved that when the time for mediation comes, there may be no doubt whatever that the United States is a perfectly neutral country.Coming to the subject of his address, \u201cThe Presidency of the United States,\u201d Mr.Tait said: \u201cYou may not know it, but I have been President of the United States.A few years ago you might have known it from cartoons in the newspapers, but that is all over now.\u201d (Laughter).\u201cWhen | was called upon to address you, I felt that I would like to talk about something that I really knew about, and so decided to tell you about the Presidency of the United States, its power, its duties, and its responsibilities, and draw some comparison between them and those of the governments of other nations.\u201cThe Government of the United States is, like yours.a confederation inasmuch as there is a central Federal Government, to look after national matters, and State Vousee to look after local administration.\u201cThe cen.ral government of the United States is divided into three distinct branches, executive, legislative and judicial.There is a rigid line he.tween the executive and the legistative in the United States, while with you they are united in a responsible Government.\u201cThe executive with you is the majority in your Parliament., The Premier is a legislater.and controls the executive power.Your Governor-Gen- eral is the nominal head of your government, and he has executive fune- tions, but, like the King in Englandhe reigns but does not rule.\u201cThe President of the United States has the combined powers of the Gov- ernor-General or the King, and the Premier, in so far as the executive goes.He has no control of legislation except the power of veto.He \u2018may exercise and does exercise a suspensive veto.If he disapproves of a bill, he returns it *o the House with his objections, and it tukes s majority of not less than two-thirds of the \u2018House to overcome the veto, which means that if the President's supporters are strong en to get a majority of oae-third in either House, the veto stands good.\u201cThe King of England has no power of veto.He has under the old British constitution, but it would shake his throne to exercise it.The Premier does not introduce Billa he does not want passed, and if another member introduces one, the Premier has the majority behind him to defeat it.If he has not, he ceases fo be Premier.\u201cThe President sometimes har to exercise à veto with a majority against him.and his opposers rise up and ac- euse him of gasrcising a \u201ckingly\u201d pre, MORE OFFICERS IN CASUALTY LIT LIST FROM HEADQUARTERS CONTAINS NAMES OF 3s KILLED.London, Sept.27\u2014A casualty list received from the British General Headquarters in the field under date of September 2nd, gives the names of 35 officers killed, 54 others wounded and 13 missing.The wounded officers include Lieut.- Col.R, E.Benson, of the East Yorkshire Regiment; Lieut-Col.W.D.Bird, of the Royal Irish Rifles; Lt.- Col.A.W.Husted, of the Duke of Edinburgh's (Wiltshire Regiment); and Lieut-Col F.W.Towsey, of the Prince of Wales\u2019 Own (West Yorkshire Regiment).The casualties in officers among the star regiments included: The Sherwood Foresters, 4 officers killed and 7 wounded; the Connaught Rangers, 4 killed; the South Lancashires, 3 killed and 3 wounded; the \\West Yorkshires, 4 killed, 4 wounded,

Col.Benson, and three missing.rogative\u201d in a country which is a republic, and that they object to such \u201ckingly methods.\u201d Of course when you are new in the White House you tremble a little in the face of such a tirade, and think of Charles I.and others, (laughter), but you soon get used to it, and explain that far from being \u201ckingly power,\u201d it is one which the King of England would not dare to exercise, and that the President is allowed, and in fact, bound, to exer cise it under the constitution.The President represents thie people better than any member from any district, and so has considerable power.\u201cIf a bill contains something the President does not consider fit, or that he thinks ought to be reconsidered, he vetoes it, and a great deal of good had been done by veto.\u201d Passing on to the election of a President, Mr.Taft explained, that the President was formerly to be elected under the constitution hy a number of gentlemen who thought they would get the best men in the country elected Presidents, by getting them into an electoral college, the highest voted member of which would be President, and the next Vice-President.The people had cured that theory, however, and very promptly.\u201cAt present,\u201d said the lecturer, \u201cthe President is elected by the vote of the people, through their representatives in the Government, and the method has never failed.1 have never known a member of the Government to go back on the ticket on which he was elected in his electorate.It has been suggested that the vote for President should be made direct, but there would be danger in that, such as for linstance the increasing of votes in districts where one party was in pre- domination.\u201cThe present system is good as was proved hy the case of Hayes and Tilden.which resulted in a final of 188 to 184.There are countries south of the Gulf of Mexico where such an clection would have led the beaten party into the woods with rifles, but it stood in the United States.The Constitution does not say how a disputed election is to be dealt with, but in this case an electoral commission of fifteen men, largely judges of the Supreme Court, met the emergency.The votes are opened before a joint meeting of toth Houses by the Speaker of the Senate.\u201d Contrasting the powers of the Federal and State Governments, the ex- President first drew a comparison between the powers of the local Houses In the United States and in Canada.Under the British North Ametican Act.which has been the result of a Quebec conference in which Sir John A.Macdonald, Mr.Brown, and Sir George Etienne Cartier, had been prominent figures, and which Mr.Ra referred to as one of the greatest acts of statesmanship in history, alt powers not delegated to the Provincial Houses were reserved to the Federal Administration.In the United States afl powers were delegated to the States, and residium belonged tq the central or federal government.- In pointing out the increase of the powers of the central government of the United States, the speaker referred to interetate commerce.Formerly the commerce of the states in the (Continued on Ppgy Tea) = a FERCE

THE ENEMY'S AEROPLANE \u2014 Paris, Sept.27-\u2014Four hombs were dropped in the city from a German aeroplane today.One missile, exploding in Avenue Du Trocaders at! the corner of Rue Freyoinet, blew the head from the sholders of a man who was standing on the corner with his daughter, and crippled the child.The other bombs did little damage.Crowds, taking advantage of a beautiful autumn day.were promenading on the banks of the Seine when the aerial warrior appeared almost directly over the Eiffel Tower.It is believed that the firsa bomb dropped was intended for the wireless station on the tower or possibly for the nearby buildings containing army stores, ! Tt landed in Avenue Du Trocaderonot far from the Tower, with a crash | and the explosion was heard for many blocks.The houses in the vicinity were badly damaged.many of the walls cracking while

Bordeaux, still makes his home., | In the wake of the bomb fluttered a German flag.At the sound of the explosion the promenaders in that section first rushed for shelter and then as the airship moved on they hurried to the scene of the havoc.A cordon of police was quickly thrown about the debris and the mangled body of the ma 1 killed was found and removed.Nearby the body of the girl was discovered.Her lower limbs were shattered.Women in the crowd wept audibly as the child was borne to a hospital.Among the houses damaged was the residence of the Prince of Monaco.The buildings containing army stores suffered considerably.At the time of the attack services were being conducted in the American Holy Trinity Church in Avenue De L'Alma.Many of the congregation fled to the street.In the midst of the excitement the aeroplane dropped three more bombs.One landing among a herd of cows pasturing on the Auteuil race course.One cow was killed and three others toppled over stunned.A third bomb fell in Rue Vemisue, and a fourth in Rue De La Pompe, a quarter in which many Americans live.Comparatively little damage was done in either instances.DELAY IN ITALY'S SUPPLY OF

while Britain has scarcely yet begun to send her men to the front.\u201cIf we beat the English\u201d It may be \u201ca long way to Tipperary\u201d but it: is nothing like so far away ss that Ad et GRUP RODUAVANVRAONY o o 9 PRESS COMMENT.3 CANSOODOSOOM AN OO S This war is going to strengthen the democratic movement in Britain on the side where it has hitherto lagged \u2014that of the breaking down of the class distinctions which have bees so marked a feature of her social life Lord Kitchener's call to arms of the manhood of the nation has been answered from every rank of society.The aristocrat, members of the learned profession,\u201d even the church, tradesman and artisan, squire and peasant, employer and employed, are drilling shoulder to shoulder and with their training are slso realizing in the ibest of all schools their equal and common humanity.For however they differed in appearance and garb at the moment of enlistment, the uniform is a great leveler.Even more of the spirit of democracy will come when they brother each other in the field and find by experience the comradeship of arms.Britain will not be the same after this war.Neither will the empire.The war has hastened the change that was already in progress.It will bring the dominions of the great Indian dependency appreciably nearer realization, of that idea of close independent cnpartnership and co-operation which has been the goal of hope.It will demonstrate the strength of union and deepen the sense and sentiment of brotherhood.All this tends to the triumph of free democracy, to \u2018the welding not only nf the people of Britain but of the peoples of the empire.Sharers in the battle for free institutions, they will be better equipped for the friendly rivalries of peace\u2014Toronto World.In the field the German armies have not fought more desperately than the German politicians and publicists have lied in their own press and in the columns of any other papers that would offer them hospitality.Much of their lying is as stupid as their diplomacy, but probably they know their own readers best.Sometimez there is no basis whatever for the stories they have circulated.In «ne very interesting l'effort, however, there was the foundation that John Rurns had resigned from the British Cabinet when it was decided that Bri:ain would go to war.Some time after his resignation the German papers were full of long accounts of a speech supposed to have been delivered by Burns in Albert Hall.London, to a \"spellbound audience\u201d In the course of this speech he is quoted as having remarked: \u2014 \u201cWhat if the news nf England's defeat and England's weakness leaks ort to the colonies, which have really nothing in commen with the Mother Country, and perhape are waiting for «ame opportunity to fall away from her?\\What if France does not win?Enormous pnssersions are then Inst, and Rritish Inss of influence on the ! potiey of the Continent cannot for I centuries De secovered, because, the linfluence of Germany, in association with her Austrian ally, would become
