some of the various war theatres.On noms of the fronts wes & crashing blow deliversd by suy of the bolligerents, and none - of the war chencelleries reported any great gain by their armies in the field, .Probably the most significant move was that of the British in the Strums region of the Greek Macedonian front.Hers the British after hard fighting threw their forces across the Struma at Neohoti (Neochari), at the southern end of Lake Tahinos (Lake Takinnis), which lies between Sevres and Orfano, and st several other places near the lake.In addition four villages were captured and held despite heavy counter attacks by the Teutonic allies.Whether this offensive by the British means the commencement of an attempt at a deive through Bulgaria or is merely a manoeuvre to throw * the Beitish I've nearer Kavala, which is about 35 miles east of Nechori, bas not yet been made apparent.From the west of the Vardar river to Lake Doiran the French are violentiy bombarding Bulgarian positions, and of the front held by the Serbians the Bulgarians have been compelled to withdraw.In the Rumanian theatre the Austrians are in retreat before the Rumanfins in the Maros and Toplitsa valleys, while to the south of Hermannstadt the Rumanians have \u2018occupied the village of Helimbar.Vienna admits a further withdrawal of the Austrian forces near Gyergyo.Heavy fighting continues in Dobrudja and there have been small infantry engagements along the entire Danube front, but in neither region hes any importaht-clange in position taken place.On the eastern front, according to Berlin, Russian attacks along the Btochitod river north-west of Kovel, and in Onlicia, between the Dnlester and Zlota Lipa rivers with Halics the objective, failed with sanguinary losses to the Russia.\u2018 Except for bombardments and the repulse of German counter attacks Monday was without epecial incident on the Somme front in France.To the sewth of the river, in the sectors of Berny-En-Santerre, Vermandovilfers sd Chaulnes, the artillery dusls between the French and Germans were especially vislemt.; - \u2019 The fierce fighting which has been in progress in Turkish Armenia for à week continues in the reglon of Ognott, with the tide of the battle still \u2018going in favor of the Russians, according to Petrograd.Ia Persia fe Russians have ecoupied the town of Bans, neer Sakis, he

Of Connecting The Center Span Seemed To Have Been Consummated\u2014 Bodies Of Victims Not Yat Recovered\u2014Many Of Engineers And Officials Ha d Narrow Escapes - With everything running smoothly, enginesbs, bridgemen and spectators congratulating each other that within a very short time the St.Lawrence would be spanned by one of the most magnificent bridges in the world, some thing miscarried, the well-laid, carefully thought out plans of the foremost engineers of the country on which they bad placed their professional reputations were suddenly ruthlessly thwarted and the massive centre span, weighing 5,100 tons, swayed to one side, wavered for an instant, then diving end foremost in an instant disappeared from view leaving scarcely a ripple on the water and carrying with it about fourteen men, ten of whom have yet to be accounted for.The spectators were astounded, they scarcely could believe the evidenco of their own senses.The gigantic ateel structure had been before their eyes practically all morning.It was climbing slowly, but surely it appeared, the worst seemed past and it was simply a question of time.But now it was gone.Buried in the same grave with its unfortunate predecessor.And the tidal waters of the St.Lawrence awept along with only the clear, sunny sky overhead, still ined, while men struggled for life on its surface.Several were picked up by tugs and motor boats but it is thought that probably nine or ten have lost their lives, .A cry of anguish went up from the onl as the steel rushed to its watery bed.ise Shrleked, men stool TMS whild a bridgemen and thosd tn- terested in the béffiding of the bridge could scarcely hold back the tears which walled to | their eyes.It was as if they had lost a great friend.They had lived with this span.They prided in their work.And on the day when their big desire was to be achieved, fate had intervened and their pal had been torn from them forever.What will be done in \u2018future is not a question with them.They have lost\u2014when victory seemed certain.CROWDS AT BRIDGE.Probably never in the history of Quebec has an event attracted such interest.The St.Lawrence river was simply dotted with craft of all descriptions bearing their quota of spectators to the scene of operations.On the hills and along the shore on both sides of the river, the crowds came by rail, by automobile, by cabs and other conveniences whils hundreds walked miles to have a peep at the culmination of Quebec's mighty project.FLOATING THE SPAN, It was still quite dark when the fleet of vessels drifted along opposite Sillery Cove awaiting the floating of the big span which was resting on six scows, inshore, shaded by \u2018the hill behind.Only the puffing of the tugboats told the eager spectators that operations had begun, as in the darkness even the outline of the span was invisible.A thick fog then covered up tugs and span, but when the sun broke through the morning haze a cry went up from the boats, for the span was floated.Like trained soldiers the sturdy little tugs went about their business and the big steel frame was soon in tow on its way to the gap which it was expected to fill.The Druid, the Lady Evelyn and other boats drifted along beside it but if any boat came too close, the meguphone of Harbor Master Captain Murray immediately ordered them to RRIBLE DISASTER AS CENTRAL SPAN PLUNGES TO BOTTOM OF ST.LAWRENCE RIVER Je keep out and the \u201cAye, Aye, Sir\u201d from the bridges of the steamships soon convinced him that there would be no difficulty in keeping the track clear.\u2018 SPAN IN PLACE.At eight o'clock the span was in place under the cantilevers, For a while there was a stop.The watching spectators craned their necks expecting to see the scows move out any minute.And suddenly their hopes were realized.One of the tugs gave the signal; the rest took their cue and the noise of the whistles was deafening.The big crowds on the shores cheered wildly as the span held on what looked like frail supports.The worst was over to all intents and purposes.The engineers were pleased.The hydraulic jacks began their tedious work.The span almost imperceptibly started upwards.Most of the boats turned and steamed for Quebec, while spectators on the shore rushed homewards to a late breakfast.It was a success.There could be no hitch.It was only a matter of time.Comparatively few witnessed the disaster but the newa spread like wild-fire to the city, and the gloom it caused could be plainly read in the faces of the citizens, Not only was there a feeling of grief and pity for the unfortu- City of Quebec, which h' + again been deprived of its bridge.THE MISSING.First reports were much exaggerated and gave the list of dead as eighty or ninety.then it

Jeffery Hale's Hospital suffering from a compound frac- \u2018ture of the leg.He tried to jump from the girder platform onto the bridge but caught leg in some manner against the steel, inflicting a nasty wound.The englueers on cantilevers at the time were Messrs J.I, Sterling, who had a very narrow escape, ving his clothes torn almost from his back, 6.V.Davies, Paul Davies, whose nose was cut, two McMath brothers and Harry Denney.3 The sensation of those on the cantilevers when the apan tore away from the links was a terrible one.The cantilevers shook like a whip, creakel and ewaved.but

gone to develop his pictures after the accident.; MR.JOHNSON'S STATEMENT.Mr.P.J.Johnson, President of the St.Lawrence and Dominion Bridge Companies panied by a number of the chief engineers, inspected the anchor arms of the bridge esterday afternoon.¥».Mr.Johnson would not make any positive statement on the possible cause of the ac- feident.\u201cWe are at a total loss to account for it, thus far,\u201d he said.\u201cThe lifting appa- potes is still in place and is practically uhinjured.It is hard to say whether the bridge pped off its end bearings or whether the trusses of the span failed.\u201d I do not think I jean express myself further than this.\u201d * THE JACK'S INTACT.Fi r 0 installed the hydraulic jacks, being engineer in charge of installation on the > bridge, is

getting ready to take hold again to lift the span to the fourth notch.{t'is hard te suy just what caused the accident.\u201d I may say, however, that nothing in \u2018the way of expenses had been spared by the company to guard against poséible mis- - hap, yet the regrettable affair occurred.\u201d \u2018 eo THANKS TO MR.MAGUIRE.g possible was done by the St.Lawrence Bridge Co., to give

newspapermen in securing reliable data.NOTICED DEFLECTION, Though it is an established fact that only a small number relatively, of the thousands who were present at the floating of th espan, really witnessed the accident, nearly everyone has a correct (?) story .of how the accident happened and which side went down first.The following story is one of the most interesting inasmuch as it is told by the son of Mr, Ulric Barthe, who was Secretary of the company which endeavered to build the ill-fated bridge which met disaster i nAugust, 1907.Mr.Marcil Barthe, ac- was standing about 500.feet from the bridge assisting a moving picture operator who was preparing to take pictures of the work and noticed a deflection of the span on the east side of the bridge and called the attention of the operator.The latter had sufficient time to get his machine focussed, and according to young Barit took tenminutes from the time he noticed the deflection until the crash came, thus gr the operator ample time to obtain a full pictorial record of the fall of the span.Barthes also saw a man who was standing on the end of the cantilever, who evidently thought the bridge was going to fall, jump into the water.The span went down at 10.50 am.While the disaster of 1907 was a frightful one, occasioning terrible loss of life, yet it did not cause such a sensation as yesterday\u2019s catastrophe.Yesterday's crash came when least expected.Mr.Porter, Engineer of Construction, had just shaken hands with Mr.Updegraff, congratulating him on the finé work of the jacks when the trouble
