The Turks know every inch of thé ground, and pour a tremendous number of shells into the ravine, which is dotted for miles up from the shore with lonely graves, mark- ing the last resting place of some soldier who was buried where he fell. "Despite the tragedies staged here, the spectator must admit that the ravine presents a scene. or rug- ged grandeur, resembling the Scotch Highlands. The mile of gul- ley most recently added to the Brit- ish positions is still littered with the debris of the Turkish positions, which are invariably ill-kept and filthy from a sanitdry point of view. If the enemy goes 'through campaign without some great epi- demic he-will have undue luck. "As the correspondegt travelled up the ravine twenty-four hours af- ter the a DECLINE IN ROUBLE. On Reason Why Russia Is Anxious Over Datdanelles. London, July 21.--The Daily Chronicle says: Yesterday Petrograd exchanges reached the record figure of 1565 roubles in 'buy £10 for pur- poses of exchange operation. We thought the problem serious when exchange crept over 120. month for this immense decline in the value of roubles means that no | remittances can be made from Rus- sia, except on ruinous terms. We saw on Saturday how Spies Petroleum Company, reporting large profits, could not pay its dividend owing to the great loss the remittances would involve, The chiet | reasons for the rapid rise in ex- change is simple enough. Russia is importing a huge mass of war ma- terials from ourselves and the neu- tral countries, but the bulk of her exports are held up owing to the Baltic and Dardanelles being closed the | battlé there were visible | It became | vastly more grave during the past! though | plenty of evidences of the strenu- jous character of the fighting--scat- tered bodies half protruding from the ground, hastily dug graves, hun- dreds of broken rifles and scattered equipment, and everywhere great fires, whereon Turkish dead in hun- dreds were being burned. "In front of the trenches British soldiers were working like bees preparing barriers and trené¢hes un- der a 'continuous fire of enemy sharp-shooters, while others for whom there was no room in the trenches were sleeping calmly close behind and awaiting the summons to resist an expected counter-attack. "One of the finest things about |the gulley ravine is that, despite the heat and lack. of breezes, there is plenty of water for man and beast springs which come from the in- ferior hills and enter the valley in a tiny trickling stream as clear as | erystal and icy cool. No' wine ever has or will taste as good as a glass of this water to a_warrior who has spent hours in the trenches stoop- ing to avoid enemy snipers, cramp- ed by the weight of his kit and the narrowness of his quarters, - while the sun scorched his neck and while stenches and- 'millions of flies made existence well-nigh unbearable." FOUGHT SHARKS TWO DAYS. Separated From Their Ship, Whalers Had to Fight. New Bedford, July 21.--Memories of more than half a century ago, | when New Bedford whale ships_sail- | ed the seven seas, were relieved yess | terday with the arrival at this port of | two open boats containing twelve men of the crew of the whaling ves- sel, Job R. Manta, who had berome separated from their ship in a fog off Cape Henry. Without food or water for four days, they spent two days in fighting large shoals of sharks, and were finally forced to violate the tradition of their calling never to lose a cap- tured whale. According to their story a whale was sighted off the Virginia coast early Monday morning. Two boats were lowered for the chase, one in charge of Mate Joseph Brown, and | the other commanded by the second mate. Each crew put a harpoon in to her. Her only available ports are | the quarry, but while they were ma- Archangel and Vladivostock, and | these are being utilized to their full] capacity for imported goods. The op- ening of the Dardanelles or the im- mediate prospect would naturally cause a big recovery in the value of | the rouble. It can, therefore, be] quite understood how anxiously | those financially interested in Rus-| sia are watching operations in the] Gallipoli Peninsula. | ps 1 LONSDALE'S LIFE SPARED | English Prisoner Of War Sentenced | To Fifteen Years. Leeds, Eng., July 22.--A letter re- ceived here from privateer William Lonsdale, who is a prisoner of war in' Germany, says that he is in good | health and. that he is undergoing a | 'sentence of fifteen years in prison. The last previous news received con- cerning Lonsdale was that a senten- ce of twenty years' imprisonment, which had been imposed on him had been revised and the death penalty substituted. The case of Lonsdale early In th year attracted considerable attention. He was condemned by court-mar- tial for an attack on a guard at the Doberitz prison camp and sentenced to death. The Lord Mayor of Leeds, Lonsdale's: native town, ap- pealéd to the Amierican minister at The Hague to urge that Lonsdale be not put to death, and both the min- ister and the American Ambassador to Germany took an interest in the . case and sought to have the death sentence commuted. In February it was announced that the sentence had been changed to twenty years' im- prisonment, but in April it was stat- ed that the supreme military court had confirmed the death seatence.

The whale was lashed between the two boats and the mate laid a course for the coast. Great shoals of sharks were attracted by the carcass, and two days the men fought them with lances and oars. Finally they became exhausted and the whale was cut loose, and given over to the sharks. The men were without food and water until Thursday night, when they were picked up by the Norwe- gian steamer Skard. They were transferred to the steamer Pedmont, which ran inte Vineyard Sound, where the whalemen again took to their own boats and sailed to this port. ACT OF PURE OUTLAWRY. Paris Papers Make Reference for Guidance of President. Paris, July 21.--The Paris after- noon papers comment at length on the attack on tke steamer Orduna, which, says the Temps, "was only saved by bad aim from the fate of the Lusitania™ Reciting the fact that the Orduna was not bound for England and was not suspected of carrying war muni- tions, the Temps says: "The attack on this steamer, there- fore, was an act of pure outlawry, and was without object. President Wilson will be able once more to ob- serve what Sermapy. thinks of the principles upon which he insisted in his notes." : Toronto Street Market Ca Toronto, July 19.

Hospitality. Cornwall is about the last place of any size on the St. Lawrence River, in the province of Ontario, and it is a splendid place to stop at. It is known as the "Factory Town." and its commanding advantages have ap- | pealed to a large number of manu- facturers. It has three cotton mills, among the largest in the coun- try, the Toronto Paper and Pulp Mills Company, brass and iron bed- stead, furniture, chair and pants factqgies, foundries, dry dock and a number of smaller concerns that do much to add to the industrial life of the place and to maintain a large staff of men and women. It has re- cently added a new line, the Canad- | ian Pacific Railway running to Ste. Polycarpe, Quebec, and also has the, G.T.R., and the New York Central crossing the St. Lawrence by the New York and Ottawa Railway bridge. The population is about 10,000, taking in the suburbs. A visit paid by a Whig representa- tive of the St. Lawrence River Coun- ties' Press Association meeting there on Monday, was full of interest, for it was a first view of an old histeric town, lying in a beatiful spot and! in the centre of one of the richest dairying sections of Canada. Its public buildings are preten- tious, its residences commodious, and surrounded by beautiful lawns, the whole giving an air of prosperity and comfort. The town has a splen- did street railway service, reaching all points and extending into the sub- urhs. Its parks are numerous and well kept, its people are thrifty and Lonterprining, and altogether (hors is] a solidity about the place that com- | mends it to, the visitors. Although Monday was very unpro- pitious, the pressmen were given an opportunity of visiting many of the | industries and meeting many of the town's business men. The visitors were the guests of the Board of Trade on a trip to Stanley Island, where at the summer hotel, a sup- erb spread was provided by Joseph Duquette, after which speeches were made. C. A. Cline, president of the Board of Trade, offered the toast to His Majesty, which was a "bumper", and royally received by the descendants of many of the Scottish Covenanters by whom Glengarry was settled. "The Army and Navy," was enter- taingly proposed by W. Gibbens, of the Standard, and responded to by A. T. Wilgress, of the Brockville | Times. | C. W.

Stanley Island is an admirable spot, and is the summer home of many people from eastern Ontario and Montreal. In the evening, the visiting news- papermen were the guests of the newspaper men of Cornwall, at din- ner at the King George Hotel, Corn- | wall, and at the cozy Cornwall Club, | The men of the Cornwall press were genial and painstaking in their care of the visitors, and altogether the day, though very stormy, was full of pleasantness, and. the visitors left for home with high praises for Corn- wall and its stalwart citizens.

London, July 21.--Charjes B. Pray, of Flint, Mich., who reached London after escaping from a Ger- man concentration camp in which he had been held since October, submit- ted to United States Consul-General Skinner an affidavit describing his experiences. Mr. Skinner forward- ed the affidavits to the State Depart- ment at Washington. wr. Pray was in Germany install- ing self-starters on automobiles when the war began. German offi cers visited his rooms and declared him to be an Englishman, notwith- | standing the fact, he says, that he exhibited a passport and a birth cer- tificate. He was sent to the con- | centration camp at Mauenfeldt, and while there made unsuccessful ef- | forts to communicate with the Ameri- | can - Consulate. Thence he was transferred to Wuerttemburg. Mr. Pray asserts that while in Wuert- | temberg he was compelled to perform { hard manuel labor after having re- | fused to work on military automo- | biles. t He made his escape'from thevon: | centration camp on May 11th and | walked across France. .He took | ship to Avonmouth, whence he { walked to London, earning. enough | money on the way to obtain food by doing odd jobs. He was destitute | and emaciated when he reached here. FRANCE'S FOREIGN TRADE. Decrease of $357,000,000 In First Three Months of 1915. Paris, July 21.--Customs statis- {tics just issued show that the for- {eign ecommerce of France decreased 12,785,000,000 france ($557,000,- 000) in the first three months of 1915, as compared with the same period a year ago. Of this amount 859,000,000 francs ($171,800,000) were importations and 1,926,000,- 000 francs ($385,200,000 were ex- portations. The figures show. that ' Mrance bought abroad during virtually the | same period food supplies valued at 51,000,000 francs ($10,200,000), while manufactured articles purchas- ed amounted to 103,000,000 francs ($20,600,000). The latter figure is the highest yet recorded since the { beginning of the war. The Temps, commenting on these statistics, says it is absolutely ne- cessary for France to resume her | economic activity and to faciliate the | reopening of factories and the re- | sumption of work generally. This, | says the paper, is the only way to | reduce payments abroad and jim- | prove the exchange. | The Late Mrs. O. M. Madden, | - Deggronto, July 20.--The funeral of the late Mrs. O.

To prevent Rosenthal from mak- ing his "squeal" to District Attor ney Whitman, Big Tim gave $6,000 to Jack Rose, according to Becker's statement. Rose was to use this money to induce Rosenthal to leave the country until the seething tur- moil stirred up by preliminary state ments to Whitman had settled Then Rose, through his own cu- pidity, decided to use the money dif ferently than Big Tim had directed, Becker says.
