Rotterdam, via London, Aug.10\u2014 \u2018There is much talk in Holand of the possibility of opening a discussion between the belligerents on peace terms, The Courant publighes today an art- .icle from an ananymous diplomatic \u2018source urging that an immediate peace might be possible, if not easy, fend recommending that the press oi Bthe neutral countries undertake the task of \u201cmediation and and removing the errors.\u201d The Dutch anti-War League at a meeting last week at The Hague adopted a resolution urging the Dutch government to call a conference of the neutral powers in the interest oi peace, \u201cthe conference to sit until the : end of the war for the purpose of preparing for and introducing mediation measures at the proper time.\u201d The article in the Courat, which has attracted wide attention in Holland, ! says in part: \u201cAlthough the prospects of the Germanic powers now are better than \u2018they ever were before, they, cannot hope fer à settlement by baller ant \u201ctherefore wiser counsels may prevail.As to the British, it i not impossible that they will ultithalely listed\u201d to the voice of reason.There is- no retsou why the opponents should offer conditions that would only prolong ihe war unduly.There.are increasing reconciling signs that international hatred is dey creasing.In the not too distant fu ture the peoples of Europe will demand to know how long the war is still to last.\u201d FATALLY INJURED IN .AUTOMOBILE SMASH-UP.Neepawa, Man, Aug.9\u2014G.C.Todd, manager of the Royal Trust Company, Winnipeg, was fatally injured in an sutomobile smash nine miles souh of Arden this morning.Accompan- {ed by Mrs.Todd and Mrs.Richley, Mr.Todd was on a pleasure trip to Brandon and Neepawa, and was returning home when the accident happened.Mr.Todd was taken to Nezpawa Hospital.where he died of his injuries.Mrs, Todd was not fatally hurt, but is prostratd by the satality.WOULD-BE SUICIDE HAS BEEN RELEASED.Chatham, Ont, Aug.9\u2014 George \u2018Winters, the Bothwell saw mill proprietor, who on July 15 tried to poison his three small daughters by Btrychnine and then commit suicide, was today released on suspended sentence by Judge Bell after relatives had given assurances that they would ere for the man.The recent death of Winters\u2019 wife, coupled with busi hess difficulties is thought to have sffected his mind.Ë a ar KILMARNOCK SCOTCH WHISKY Patronized by H.R.H.the Duke of Connaught.SPORTSMEN!

London, Aug.9\u2014 While the Austro-German arsgiep made fresh progress today in their campaign against the Russians the conflict on the western front took on new impetus whên Sir John French, commander-inchief of the British expeditionary force, reported a fierce artillery engagement in which Blitish and French forces captured trenches at Hooge along a\u201d front of 1,200 yards.The occupation of Praga, reported by Berlin, brings to a dramatic climax the first phase of the drive at the Polish capital and the region of eastern Poland of which Warsaw is the dominating centre.Praga is essentially a part of the capital with great railway stations on the roads running to Petrograd and Moscow.Few details have been received of Grand Duke Nicholas\u2019 final stand at Praga but the indications are that the withdrawal of the Russians became imperative in order to escape from the German lines gradually drawing together in their rear.: Warsaw now is the apex of a vast letter V, the arms of which are the river Narew on the north and the Vistula on the south.The German lines spread along these rivers are contracting gradually as the armies in the north and those in the south approach each other.The strip of territory across which the Russians may withdraw to safer positions now is hardly more than thirty miles across.\u2019 .Besides this enveloping movement immediately to the cast of Warsaw, Berlin reports a steady hammering at the great Russian fortresses of Kovno and Lomza, the chief significance of which is their proximity to the lines of railway communications to Petrograd.Novo Geurgievsk is the only place west of Warsaw at which a Russian garrison remains and its fall scems imminent.: The attitude of the Poles towards the new German regime 4 } arousing gleep interest as the occupation of \u201cWarsaw unites or the first time three branches of the Poles heretofore divided | among Russia, Germany and Austria.Under the Russian regime Poland has been a hotbed of disorder and it remains to be seen whether control of this occupied territory will be as difficult a problem for Germany as it has been for Russia.The official report from Berlin characterized the operations around Hooge as \u201ca battle\u201d but Sir John French's later report shows them to have been another trench fight preceded by a severe artillery exchange and resulting in the recapture by | the British of nearly a mile af trenches previously taken by the Germans.This has served to divert public attention temporarily from the magnitude of the German sweep in the east ern field but operations in the west still lack general significance.The commander of another British submarine, whose name has not yet been disclosed, was reported today to have distinguished himself by sinking the Turkish battleship Kheyr-Ed- Din Barbarossa.\u2019 pue ee EE ae PE ee EE ee D Te Te Dee ee | GERMANS CONTEND |POWERS OF NORTH RUSSIANS DID NOT AND SOUTH T0 DESTROY CROPS| STUDY MEXICO BERLIN SAYS FARMERS DIS.| PAN.AMERICAN CONFERENCE OBEYED OORIDERS AND TO DEAL WITH MEXICAN EVERYTHING I8 ROSY.SITUATION.Berlin, Aug.9\u2014via wiseles: to Say- ville\u2014The Overseas News Agency: gives out for transmission sbroad by, wireless teleg:aphy the following item: \u201cReports from the front in Poland say the Russian announcement thas farm crops were devastated and that the Russians left a desert behind them is greatly exaggerated.The farmers disobeyed orders to destroy their crops and a full harvest of rye heat and oats is being brought in with the assistance cf the German Washington, Auy.9\u2014Powers of North and South America already have agreed upon a definite plan for dealing with the Mexican problem dealing with th: Mexican problem and when the Pan-American confer: ence is resumed in New York on Wednesday, the program will be formally ratified.This information came today from Secretary of State Lansing, who, though he would not discuss details, said he was decidedly encouraged over the prospect.OF MEAT IN ENGLAND, London, Aug.9\u2014Great increases on the prices of meat are discinsed in | the report of the superintendent of the London Central Market, issued | tonight.He states that the supply j of meats of all kinds for July, 1918, ju the market, totaile 1 29,702 tons as compared with 36833 tons in July, 1914.The price of fresh beef in- j creased 43 per cent.while that of Fresh mutton increased -3 per cen- .and frozea mutton $0 per cent.| soldiers.| Only the villages were de stroyed.\u201d CUNUU NAAN NAAT GOR a os rt Ÿ .aupoOGENONONOESAOO o WHEAT CUTTING al ° @ I .= NORWEGIAN STEAMER a a BROIS IN WEST : © Brandon, Man, August 9- © = TAKEN INTO PORT.2 g Wheat cutting soinmenced to- 2 © London.Aug.6\u2014 (Delayed © day.the first being harvested & by censor) \u2014 Announcement À $ on the Government experimen- sl 8 was fnade this evening tht the g o \u2018farm ° Norwegian steamer Talisman ,;

The market as à whole evinces an increasing public confidence that prosperity on à broad scale is rapidly developing in the country.The government crop report today shows excellent figures and was another influence to strengthen optimistic sentiment.| wa \u201cStocks, $2336.Tatal Sales Stocks, gBonds $2,928,000.er eis © : MONTREAL STOCK EXCHANGE Sales (Monday Aftergoon).\u2026.(From Breen & Gourdeawh-~- Steamships\u2014 Zat 10, 26;

which he is *> submit to the Rev.Father Tourmond, oi Si.Antoine, Le Chien d'Or.Tt is an everyday question with strangers in Quebec: What is the meaning of the legend of the Golden Dog.Sir James Lemoine :n these columns thirty years ago says: \u201cCapt Knox on entering the city after the capitulation on the 18th September, | took a note of this yet unexplained | inscription, and inserted it in full in \"his journal of the siege.Knox calls it the \u201cmysterious inscription.\u201d : SUPERSITION NOW | | A GERMAN ALLY It is said that among the schemes by which Germany is trying to weaken the strength of the Allies is that | of circulating among the superstitious ! {population of Italy the rumor that her leaders are possessed of \u201cthe evil eye.\u201d The King himseh, General Ca- | dorna, General Caneva, Gabriel d\u2019An- \\ aunzio and Premier Salandra are said \u2018to be thus acccursed.It is not plain f that this conspiracy has had any dis- ! astrous effects upon tke Italian cam- i paign, but, knowing the character of \u2018the Italian people, and being aware I that in the past superstition has played a great part in Italian affairs, and in even recent years has threatened to wreck Governments, Germany has | thought it wise not to neglect tue chance of making trouble in Italy.Theory of the Evil Eye.Writing in the New York Sun, F.Cunliffe Owen.who appears to have acquired o notable stock of lore upon the subject of the evil eye, explains that when once the suspicion of having this affliction is fastened upon a man it is impossible for him to clear himself.It is by no means necessary \u2018that he should be a malignant per- ison or possess an eye of sinister or | even peculiar appearance.He may, | indeed, be a most benevolent person | who would not for the world cause harm to anyone else.Yet if he has I the evil eye disaster will follow him ,and prayers will not avail.This be- \"lief on the part nf those who are 1G0L ae A HUNDRED YEARS AGO TODAY Steam Boasts.1t is not generally known or believed that Quebee is quite à pionecr in the way of steam boats.We find in these columns of 100 years age, the following notice: \u201cThe steam boat \u2018Swiftsure,\u201d leaves Quebec for Montreal every Friday evening or Saturday morning.The steam boat \u2018Malsham' leaves Quebec for Montreal every Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.As the tide serves.\u201d Fulton started a steam boat on the Hudson River, in the year 1807, anl we know that s steam boat was making regular trips between Quebec ani Montreal only a few yesrs behind that of Fulton, so that if Quebec is not the very first in this line, she comes 8 close second, on this side of the Atlantic, and, of course, all the world knows that Quebec is the birthplace of the Royal William, the first steamship to cross the Atlantic by steam alone.Despatches from London.Our latest despatches from London are to the effect that there have been some severe encounters between the French and British forces in Flanders, and that al! the Duke of Wellington's sides-de-camp were either killed or wounded except Major Percy, who was assisting his wounded comrades at the time hi: was called upon t> set off for England with despatches.Bluecher is about thirty miles from Brussels, and no doubt by this time, some desperate battles will have been fought between the Allied forces and that of Napoleonprovise a little defence by pointing his index and his fourth finger at the evil-eyed, at the same time expectorating copiously in the ssme direction.Nearly Upset a Government.In quite recent years, says Mr.Owen, the Jate Marquis Maurigl, a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies was accredited with the evil eye, and on one occasion when he made a motion to effect some minor changes in the system of military promotion, which were opposed by the Minister of War, so dearful were the duputies of coming under his baneful gaze that they deserted the Govemment and supported the Marquis.This so exasperated the Minister of War that he resigned.The other members of the Cabinet wighed to follow suit, and were only dissuaded by King Humbert, who convinced them of the trifling chas- acter of the hostile vote, and assured them that they had on the whole the support of the Chamber and the con- fidene of their sovereign.In the midst of the debate precipitated by the Marquis\u2019 motion a speaker made some sarcastic remarks ahout tie superstition of the evil eye, and com- cluded hy exclaiming.\u201cA pest upon those malignant influences which are exercised to the detriment of our country.\u201d Not Confined to Italy.Immediately about three-quarters of the deputies arose, horror-stricken, from their seats, and bolted for the | superstitinus fits in well with the German campaign.for it would be absurd to ask the most ignorant of [Italian peasants to believe that his 1 King, the Premier of his country, and the leading Italian generals would de- signedly bring disaster upon Italy.The German agents insinuate, however.that the curse of the evil eve having descended upon them.they \u2018are powerful to avert its results, How to Avoid the Curse.The evil eye superstition is thousands of years old, and some refer- ; ence to it is to be found in theOld Testament.Those who cling to it believe that one having the evil eye will bring misfortune upon anyone upon whom he glanes for even a moment It is said that even to this day in Italy the streets will instanily clear if the rumor spreads that the pos: sessor of an evil eye is approaching.People rush into side streets, up alleys, into \u2018stores and buildings.and if : they can escape by no other means will over their faces with ther hands to avoid the glance that is be- fieevd to be more deadly than a pes- | tilence there are, of course charms that are supposed to neutralize the \"powers of an evil eye, such, for in- i stance.as a little piece of coral shaped like a fork.1f one happens to be
