> WILL CLEAVETHEIR WAY TO ViaORY Sixteen Established and Ten Hore to be Set Up in England A despatch from London says: â€" Sixteen national munitions factories have been established in England, and, after consultation with the French Ministry, the British Govern- ment has decided to set up an addi- tional ten large establishments. This announcement was made in the House of Commons by the Minister of Munitions, David Lloyd George, who told of the progress made by his de- partment in overcoming the shortage in shells that had prevented the army on the Continent from doing all it might otherwise have done. These new factories are being erected in the vicinity of the arsenals and the ex- isting armament establishments, and, the Government hfa completed in a few weeks the developments it is now engaged on the supply of shells will be doubled. "This," said the Minister, "will not merely enable us to support our men, but will enable them to cleave their way through to victory." Mr. Lloyd George explained that until the new factories are built the work of the department will be di- rected to speeding up existing con- tracts. At first the Government had been faced with a grave labor short- age, and some machines were lying idle because no one could be found to work them. One-third of the machines engaged in Government work at the outset were not being utilized at night. During three months his depart- ment had succeeded in adding nearly 40,000 men skilledâ€" to the ranks of the workers connected with arma- ments, and they were pouring in fur- ther supplies. His department had also enrolled 100,000 volunteers, but it had been found difficult to remove the majority of these from their pre- sent employment. However, scores of thousands of skilled men who had enlisted had been traced, and ar- rangements were made with the War Office for the return of these men to the factories.

Best lambs offered at $9, and the more common ones at $8, while sheep sold at $4 to $5.50 per cwt. The demand for calves was good at prices ranging from $3 to $15 each, as to size and quality. Hogs steady. Sales of selected lots were made at $9 to $9.50 per cwt., weighed off cars. Steamship men state that an ima ginary line, known as the stability line, which keeps the steamers upright, was only four inches deep on the Eastland. These same men said the Government required this line to be 20 inches. On the majority of the lake steamers this line is 32 inches. On the larger steamers, which make the Georgian Bay trips, the line is 42 inches, preventing any possibility of a tipover. GERMANY TO RESCUE OF THE TURKS Intimation Any Such Plan Will be Nipped in Bud by Surprising Move of Allies A despatch from Paris says: â€" A re- j port from Bucharest that orders had , been issued to the Roumanian officials ! at all fronties stations to make the • most thorough examination of all i freight cars owned by Austria- i Hungary, Germany and Turkey to pre- i vent any possibility of the passage i through Roumanian -territory of mu- nitions and arms has been officially confirmed at the Roumanian Legation in Paris. I* is iieported that car loads of beer barrels packed in ice sent from Ger- many to Turkey were examined and the barrels found to contain war mu- nitions. The freight cars are re- ported to have been provided with false bottoms and walls, behind which arms were hidden. E^ry device known to modern smuggled is said to have teen used to pass arms and mu- nitions through Roumania for the Ot- toman troops. A despatch from Rome says:â€" News has reached here that Turkey has only one month's stock of am- munition. Consequently the Italians believe the allies will take the Dar- danelles in a relatively short time if Bulgaria and Roumania act energeti- cally against contraband. TURK FORCES RETREATING NORTHWARD Successful Progress of British Campaign in Asia ninor Reported by Sir John Nixon A despatch from London says: â€" "Gen. Sir John NLxon reports that as a result of an action near Nasiriyeh (Asiatic Turkey) the disorganized Turkish forces retreated northward more than 25 miles. "The enemy's casualties in killed, wounded or prisoners amounted ap- proximately to 2,500 men, the prison- ers including 41 officers and 690 men, of whom some 200 were wounded. Our capture of arms and material includ- ed one 40-pounder gun, twelve field and two mountain guns, several ma- ' chine guns, 1,000 rounds of artillery I and 30,000 rounds of small ammuni- tion and explosives and bombs, ana ] other miscellaneous ordnance stores. "Our casualites numbered 564 men, as follows: British officers killed 5, and wounded 20; other ranks, killed 47; wounded 142, and missing 30; Indian officers, killed 4, wounded 7; other ranks, killed 45, wounded 267, and missing 6. "The evacuation of the sick and wounded from Nasiriyeh has com- menced." A despatch from Athena says: â€" Enver Pasha issued an extraordinary message to his troops on the Gallipoli Peninsula before the last big attack. It ran thus: "Soldiers, you will fight with all your strength. At least you will I resist as long as possible, for I can I promise you within a month's time I shall be able to send you to your homes. The life of Serbia cannot now last longer than a month. With- in that time the German armies will crush her and will come to our aid." I learn that great pressure had been put on the Germans by the Young Turks to fulfill the promise to send German armies through the Bal- kans to the assistance of the Turkish forces. The Young Turks regard INVISIBLE AEROPLANES LATEST GERMAN PLAN A despatch from Amsterdam says: Germany possesses invisible aero- planes, according to the Cologne Gaz- ette. The wings are made of a clear transparent material called cellon, which is the invention of a German engineer named Knaubel. Cellon, which is manufactured from cellulose and acetic acid, is tough, pliable and non-inflammable, and is used instead of canvas. A machine covered with cellon is said to be virtually invisible above an altitude of 3,000 feet. Herr Knaubel made his first experiments with the material two years ago. the achievement of that plan as the only hope for the Turkish Empire in Europe. ."V prominent military expert who has just completed a tour of the Balkan States, and who latterly has been in .Austria, expresses the belief that such an effort will be the next great move on the part of the Austrians and Germans. Should this cross move be made it will have immediate and important results in this corner of Europe. It would b« unwise to give details which are with- in my knowledge, but I think I may be permitted to say that counterbal- ancing events are moving rapidly and the enemy's plans may quite possibly be nipped in the bud by a surprising move of which the public should hear I at an early date. INTERNED GER.MAN BOATS HAVE TURNED AROUND A despatch from New York says: â€" .The War News Strategy Board of Brooklyn scented in the shifting of six German steamships at Pier 33, South Brooklyn, another attempt of the detained fleet of the Kaiser to make a "dash for the open." The marine superintendent of the Ham- burg-American Line said it was true that the ships, including the President Grant, the Hamburg and Koenig Wilhelm the Second, had turned end for end in the dock. Some of them had been nearly a year in dock, and the metal of the pier had badly de- I fleeted the compasses. The object of turning the other sides of the pier â-  was to readju!:t the compasses to ; some extent. FAKE PASSPORTS MADE IN RERUN In the Middle Ages people in Eng- land wore the beaks, or points of their shoes so long that they encum- bered themselves in walking, and were forced to tie them up to their knees. PERSONS OF NOTE. Anecdotes and Facts About People Whose Names You Know. On an occasion Lord Fisher may be seen walking in St James's Park, Lon- don, with his wife. Very simple In his habits of dress, he is partial to a dou- ble-breasted coat and a flat hat, sdmilar to that popularized by Mr. Churchill. These warm, sunny afternoons he likes to uncover Ms head, and then one notices the stiff, white hair has a tendency to fall on the forehead In a Napoleon-like projection. The late Mr. Joseph Chamberlain was probably the Statesman who smoked the most cigars In the course of a day; in hie case the damage was done not by the number he smoked as by the strength of the leaf of which they were manufactured. Mr. Fred Terry, until he was stopped by his doc- tor, bad a way of going in for chain smoking â€" that Is to say, he Ut one cigar from the stump of the one before it, and so on. I to time, but he baa been over to the I Front, and narrowly escaped death. Once having seen the popular seaman with his square figure, it Is impossible to mistake him, and when the House is sitting, and he strolls on occasion into the Outer Lobby, a whisper usual- : ly go*8 round the waiting crowd at the j barrier: "Thai's Charlie Beresford!" NO MORE GIFTS OF TOBACCO French Government Cannot Under- take to Effect Delivery. A despatch from New York says: â€" Hereafter the hardships of the French soldiers at the front will not be light- ened by the occasional gifts of cigars, tobacco and cigarettes which have been sent to them in the past by kindly-disposed Americans. The French postal authorities have informed the authorities here that they are unable to effect the delivery of the smokes to the soldiers or the prisoners of war in France. In conse- quence it has been found impossible to collect from the addresses the Customs charges to which all such gifts sent from abroad are liable in France at present. - Lord Derby Is easily th« most popu- lar peer In the Nortli of Bngland. A man of great initiative and will, ho says what he means, and telling the people the truth he finds no difficulty In evoking a steady response. There Is a curious resemblance in his writing to that of Sir Edward Grey, but In gen- . eral characteristics a wide gulf sepa- j rates them. i CHECK SPY EXODUS FRO.H GREAT BRITAIN Germans Enter England as Citi- zens of U.S. and Switzerland. A despatch from London says: â€" It has been learned on high authority here that the British authorities have arrested a German subject who had in h(s possession a forged American passport, which the arrested man ad- mits is not genuine. The forged document had been compared with the original passport which was issu- ed to a bona-fide American citizen. The real passport, which was sent to London by the State Department at Washingrton, shows that the forgery is a dangerous imitation. I The arrested man is understood to ' rave declared that the false passport I was given to him in Antwerp by Capt. Schneitzer, a German secret service [Officer. The American State Depart- ' mcnt is said to have taken up the I question with the German Govern- ^ ment, as the imitation is so clever that it constitutes a danger to .A.meri- cans abroad. The real passport on which the bogus one is based waa I issued to an American business man who reached Germany March 24th I and left that country April 8th. This I man was at his home with his pass- I port when the holder of the falsa ' document was arrested in England. .As a result of investigations by th6 ; United States Government, the State Department has instructed Ambassa- dor Gerard at Berlin to bring to the attention of the German Government evidence indicating that German* have been engaged in forging Ameri- can passports and furnishing them to German spies. PROPOSAL FROM KAISER TO MEDIATE Holy See Declined Proposal Because of Condeni' nation of Qerman Submarine Warfare A despatch from Rome says: â€" It is learned here that the Minister of Prussia accredited to the Holy See, who recently has been living in Switz- erland, has conveyed to Pope Benedict a proposal from the Kaiser suggest- ing that the Holy See offer to medi- ate between Germany and the United States and promising to abide by the Pope's dc.-i.^ion if mediation should be accepted. It is further reported that the Pope replied th .t he was unable to offer mediation because he resides in a bel- ligerent country where Germany's representatives cannot come, and be- cause of condemnation of submarine warfare, he could not pass upon a matter involving its justification. The Pope called attention to the fact that as the Holy See waa neutral it could not assume the arduous task of settling controversies between the powers. He suggested, therefore, that the Kaiser submit the question to The Hague TribunaL When t^e average man comes across Sir Edward Carson, the new British Attorney-General, with his trim, erect, sturdily-built figure, he fe apt to forget that the gre«it lawyer and Ulster patriot is sixty-one years of age. He certainly does not look more than fifty. This Impression is accentuated by the free-and-easy way he dresses, for nearly always he comes to the House of Commons In a double-breast- ed lounge suit and a bowler hat It was commonly anticipated that Mr. Edwin Montagu, who is back again at the British Treasury as Financial Secretary, would be saved for the Ministry, If not for the Cabinet. He Is remarkably clever at finance, and in addition he has enjoyed for years the privilege of the Premier's friendship, spending many week-ends with him. Like Mr. Austen Chamberlain, another financial expert, be affecta the mono- cle. A despatch from London says: â€" A closer check on possible spies is in- dicated in an official notice published in England to the effect that travelers from the United Kingdom to Scan- dinavian countries will not be permit- ted to leave this country on or after August 10th without special permit from the Home Office. This restric- tion applies to British subjects as well as neutrals, with the exception of soldiers and sailors. Stray Thoughts. In retirement Lord Haldano will probably turn again to literature. He has written some of the most notable essays on philosophical criticism of the day, and students of philosophy would welcome further oontrlbutlona from him. I Back again in England. Major F. E. Smith, who takes office for the first ' time as British Solicitor-General, will ' probably surprise his friends once more by his insatiable love of cigars. ' He smokes, as a rule, a dozen long i Coronas a day, and one of the Impor- tant duties of his clerk has been to see tliat a full case went to the Law Courts each day tor his useâ€" one cigar ' to be smoked during the luncheon hour, and another directly the Court i rose. Thence onward the Coronas went In quick succession. NO COTTON RESOLD IN NEUTRAL PORTS A despatch from London says: â€" ' The Foreign Office denied a statement ' published recently that American cot- I ton seized by the British authorities is being reshipped to be resold in neu- tral ports. The worst kind of fool is the one who doesn't want to learn. Courage is the yeast that causes a man to rise to the occasion. There is a new way of doing almost everything except lovemaking. X healthy loafer can easily ensure his life for more than it is worth. .\pparently some men only use their heads when they want to butt into other people's affairs. About the only thing some people put off till to-morrow are the un- pleasant things they can say to-day. If, when you are at the office you , wish to make the time pass more quickly, all you need do is to get be- , hindhand with your work.

TRIESTE IS LOOTED AND WRECKED Garrison Has Been Withdrawn and the City Has Virtually Been Evacuated ' A despatch from Rome says. â€" An ancensored despatch from Trieste says that over 300 houses and villas there have been looted and wrecked. Verdi's monument and other works of art have been destroyed. The city is practically empty. A majority of ' the Italian inhabitants have been ar- I rested and interned. The shops are opened at 9 o'clock in the morning and closed at sunset. The streets are without lights at nights. The wards near the dock- ;^ard have been damaged by the Italian aerial bombardments. The city has virtually been evacuated, the garrison having been vi-ithdrawn and only the gendarmes left. These are requisitioning the scanty supply of foodstuffs. The Italian language has been abolished. A rupture between Turkey and Italj is inevit.ible. Turkey has ignored the Italian remonstrances and thrcati against the interment of' Italians.
