HIS MIND RESTORED BY MENTAL TELEPATHY, THE THEORY OF RELATIVES Of Ex-Canadian Dragoon Who En. listed When His Memory Was a Blank--He Is Now Home In Syra-- cuse, N.Y.

Bailey, of Cazenovia, who while suffering from aphasia, enlisted in the Canadian Royal Dragoons, and who has just obtained his discharge from the Dominion authorities, is back home delighted with the recep- Alon accorded him on his recent visit to his old regiment. Bailey brought back with him a large number of souvenirs of his ar- my life, including his spurs, epua- lettes and other parts of his uniform. However, his heart still longs for the horse he rode while a member of the Dragoons. 4 He became greatly attached to the animal and declares the parting with his steed tore his heart strings more than anything else when he quit the service. Now he is contemplating purchasing the horse from the Cana- dian Government or else exchanging another animal for it.

Two important highways exist 12 and 16 miles east of Gradisca, which connect Goritz with Trig¢ste by « ra- ther circuitous route. These roads must be seized by the Italians to pre- vent the last remaining lines of com- munication running southward from Goritz being of any assistance to the Austrians. With this done, Gdritz will then be in danger of becoming the Przem- ysl of the Trieste campaign--with an Austrian corps isolated within its de- fences. Sound strategy, and, in particular, the Austrian experience at Przemysl, demand that the Aus- trians refuse to allow themselves to be bottled up in Goritz. They must abandon the city if they are not to play Italy's game. But, the time for abandonment is indeterminate, and if left too long, the retreat may have to take a northern direction. This would compel the Austrians to fall back upon the second Italian of- ensive along the upper waters of the Isonzo and the attendant Alpine pas- sés. Isolation and disaster might easily follow and the situation is, in fact, becoming more and more dan- gerous for the Austrians. A Woman Thrown From a Buggy Onto Verandah (Special to the Whig.)

The enormous casualty lists are sald to be sobering Germany, de- spite the fact that they are accom- panied by claims of sweeping suc- cesses. The British navy's block- ade is also having its inevitable ef- fect. Great Britain, it is pointed out, is still having her troubles keeping up her supply of munitions. France's necessity to discharge sol- diers from the army to manufacture munitions and Russia's inability to keep her reserve armies in satisfac- tory condition because of lack of rifles and cannon, are subjects of further comments.
