military.expert in an optim- etic review of the present military situation has printed out his hea- sons for believirg that the war is not yet near its end, and discussed the arming of the Allied armies for the campaigns of 1917 and 1918.\u201cOur superiority in the field,\u201d says the writer, \u201cis not yet adequate, since it does not give us that annihilating predonderance which is necessary for victory.Next, having now completed our own supplies, we can set to work to arm Russia with a will.We can fit out the armies for 1917 and 1918, which must in the end crush the most frantic efforts of the Central powers, and, as we can last so long, or longer if necessary, we can be satisfied with nothing but the complete satisfaction of our demands.\u201cThe Allies will end the war as such formidable military powers and so superabundanily supplied with veterans and material that, failing some gross negligence on the part of our governments during the peace parleys,.Germany will never be able to face a war again in our time.\u201cMany soldiers firmly believe the liticians will sell out in the rnd.ut this opinion is certainly wrong, ior the force of public opinion behind the war is now so strong that the public would think nothing of taking all the members of the government and hanging them in a row if they showed any inclination to throw away atéthe peac: parleys the fruits of our stupendous war efforts.\u201d CRIES FOR HELP.Brockville, Ont., Aug.24\u2014Cries for help coming from a burning motorboat aroused parties on the shores of the St.Lawrence river, west of Ogdensburg between one and two o'clock this morning.When the craft drifted ashore it was almost entirely consumed, with no trace whatever of the occupants, of whom it is thought that two or more lost their lives.The only possible clue as to occupancy was a card found floating nearby on which was printed the o Same of R.Fitzgerald, Point Vivian, SEEKS RECRUITS.Toronto, Aug.24\u2014Lord Innes- Kerr,

bush fires which raged in the north country on Tuesday.The danger of further destruction is now practically over, as heavy rains this afternoon bave had the effect of extinguishing practically all of the fires smouldering in the district.Apart from the loss of life, the property loss in Tuesday's fire was very heavy.The fire swept over two or three of the oldest settled townships of the districts\u2014 Harley, Hudion and Diamond\u2014burning up practically everything in its path.Mrs.Arthur McKenzie and her -six children, their ages ranging from three months to ter: years, took refuge in an old root house, but the fire burned the timbers supporting the earth covering ihe roof, which subsequently fell in upon them.The Lady Minto Hespital was in great danger for a time, and many women and children left the town.The Nipissing Central Railway cars were held in waiting for the worst.About sixty farmers have lost both huildings and crop.and they with their families are homeless, At the Casey-Cobalt mine, a wagon with women and children started for New Liskeard, but was headed by the flames until an open field was reached, where all were obliged to lie down on their faces under a shelter of wet blankets and remain in that position for over an hour.Some of the dead are: Robert Woodall, farmer, of Casey township; Mrs.Woodall, of Casey township; Miss Wellwood, nurse, of Toronto; John \u2018Thomas, farmer, of Casey township.AUSTRIAN CABINET MEET.Amsterdam.via London, Aug.23\u2014 A Vienna despatch says that the Austrian cabinet council was in session all day

out a\u2019 summons against Ald.Adam Palmer, chairman, carging him with assault Strikingly simustancously the British and French have made substantial gains on the Somme front, according to the official statements issued dy Paris and London.Maurepas has fallen to the French who have pushed forward more than two hundred yards beyond that town on a front of a mile and a quarter.The British on their side report an advance of 300 yards south of Thiepval and the capture af many prisomers.The capture of Maurepas leaves Clery almost completely surrounded and also brings the French directly in front of the important raiiroad town of Combles.Thiejval is in alm most the same position as Clery and the Ailied front ,as described by Paris and London, now resembles the teeth of a great saw between which the Germans are tenaciously holding Press despatches from the Somme front indicate that the French are preparing for an extension of their offensive for a distance of thirty miles south of the present battle line.They are reported to have opened a tremendous cannonading from Hstress to Lasigny and the bombardment is said to have reached an unprecedented intensity during the last two

capture of 2,300 The situation on the Saloniki front still remains obgeure but apparently there has been no important change in the positions of the belliger, ents since the Allied flanks were forced back by the Bglgarians at the opening of the offensive.There have been no further deports as to the attitude of Rumania and main interest in centred at present at present on the situation in Greece.Athes news despatches report that Greeu volunteers are rushing to Seres from all parts of the country to take up arms against the Bulgarians.In the sosence of official isformation conflicting reports are being received as to whether or not the Greeks and Bulgarians have actually clashed.Reports received at the Greek capital state that fighting has been going on at Seres for some days.The Italians are pushing their new offensive on the extreme north of the Austro-Italian line and claim the capture of ssusral Agptrian positions.There bas been an increase in artillery activicity along the Isonzo but so far no infantry actions have been reported.AUSTRIAN GENERAL DISMISSED.Berne, Switzerland, Aug.34, vis London, Aug 26\u2014A wireless despatch received from Austria, says that a

Railway in Quebec passed examinations in first aid work in the $t.John Ambulance Association C.P.R.Centre, which were held in the new station yesterday, the cxaminers being: Dr.Thomas and Mr.S.F.Bidlow, General Secretary of the Association.Mr.C.Fenay, Asst.Supt, and Mr.§.S.Lalonde, General Agent were also present at the tests, The local staft has taken considerable interest in the work and much of their efficiency is due to their instructor Mr.O.Luns who has spared no effort in imparting to them all the knowledge possible from his wide experience, The work of the St.John Ambulance Association in connection with First Aid is most essential and useful and the Canadian Pacific Railway has encouraged employees in all departments of the scervice to take it up in order that the travelling public may benefit through their experience In cases of accidents or sickness on trains there is always relief when train crews are cfficient in frst aid work and the C.P.R.have always been extremely fortunate in securing the sincere co-operation of the employees in this direction as may be judged by the success of the examinations just held.tr tt cay with intent to do grievous bodily harm.The case will be heard next Tuesday morning by Police Magistrate Judded counsel and will defend the case.Chronicle.ME BOTH GAINS ON SOMME French Have Captured Maurepas, Which Brings Them Near

ferent story,\u201d he continued.This is a sort of melting pot for men who desire to assist the Empire as an clement in the enginecring unit.They strength is recruited all over Canada, : The men are required to know a trade and to have aptitude to do things with their hands.The officers are required to have a university training and at least three vears experience in practical engineering.\u2019 * The men are trained as drivers and .appers.Fach engineering establishment carries seventy-nine horses in its strength, and the feeding, care, and health of these animals is thoroughly taught.Besides all this, the men have to become expert rider and drivers They have also a course in infantry training and a certain proportion of the men have instruction in mining, a branch of warfare that has bed great.; ly used in this conflict.The officers | have to qualify as infantry officers of \u2019 like rank in addition to having exper: kpowledue of practical engineering ! work.They have also to know when a horse is properly fed and attendod ta, and they must Le able to sit à | horse even when greatly agitated.\u201d | \u201c1 think,\u201d said the interviewer, \u201cthat the general public has but a hazy idea | of how many enginecrs are sent from Canada to the front and what is the rature of their work when they get there.Would you be good enough in give me some light on these points?\u201d \u201cCertainly\u201d was the ready response.1 can only speak off hand of the work of the Depot since I took command in February last.This you understand is not a battalion but a.school and we are sending drafts | uverseas continually, Since February we have sent forward nearly thrze thousand men and officers, on an average of about three hundred and fifty a month.The nature of thrir work at the front is extremely varied.* To put it broadly all the scientific work of war, apart from artillery, might be said to demand the attention Balloons, brides, 10ads, entrenching.railway construc tion of a temporary character, saps;

Bonds $2,843,000, (From Breen & Gourdeau) New York, 2¢\u2014Irregularity again today characterized the fluctuations nf quotations in the stock market.Initial transactions were at a generally higher level over the closing prices of yesterday, but shortly afterward the heavy selling movement, which was strongly in evidence during the late trading yesterday was again resumed.The market therafter held to a moderately limited trading area, each decline being followed by an equally sharp recovery.The volume of business handled during the day showed a further contraction, and it was apparent that hesitancy upon the part of many was being furthered on account of the still indefinite outcome indicated in the railway labor situation.Despite this backing and Alling process, the undertone to the market is considered good with the result that the trend, if anything, is upward.Alhough the outcome of the conferences between the railroad and their employes is doubtful, nevertheless, the action of the market suggests confidence in a satisfactory scttlement being reached.The market still is a trading one.The copper stocks, especially Inspiration, developed even still greater activity and strength than seen for sometime.We continue to look for price movements to swing within moderate trading limits for the present, in which we favor a long side on recessions.Sales, stocks, 762,207;
