Under the pre- tecting folds of the Union Jack freedom has attained its highest limit. Britain has had the wisdom so to train and guide the swarthy children of alien races, and even the foes of yesteryear, that they put their living bodies between her and her enemies. She has the gift of keeping alive, across tumbling seas, round half a world, the undying bond that unites the heart to home. The British Empire may be unscientific and unorganized, but it is mighty, with the greatness of the soul. Through the ages she has been the friend of the oppressed.and the support of the weak. She has fought the fight of the little nations:that they might not be exterminated. Once again she has girded on her armour in de- fence of a people small in numbers but great in spirit--the heroic Belgians. Shall such an Empire go down to utter destruction? Shall such a bene- ficient civilization disappear from the earth? : We must answer-this question to-day--not with boastful words, but by stirring deeds. The old grey mother sends forth the call to battle, and her sons are gathering from afar, They come from beneath the Southern Cross ---from beneath the Northern Skies--from India's Coral Strand--from Afri- can veldt and plain--one from the ends of the earth. Many, alas, have already * laid down their lives for this glorious cause. Although no sculptured -mar- ble should rise to their memory, nor engraved stone bear record of their deeds, yet will their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored. It is our duty--nay, more, our privilege--to give to the Empire to-day the best we have. We cannot do too much, for the need-is far greater than the most of us yet realize. Canada has done nobly, but she must do more. The country calls for men, and still more men. No man who can go should hesitate another hour. We must see this thing through. There will be no salvation for us if we fail, Join the Khaki line to-day. ~~ BISHOP OF LONDON ENTIRE ENPRE WILL PAYS $101 FINE PRAYS FOR ALLIES] RENEW ITS WAR VOW Twenty Thousand Persons, Including Meetings to be Held Everywhere to 3,500 Territorials, Attend Great | Pass Resolution of Open Air Service.

Chicago, July 27.--"The hand of God," through the terrible Eastland disaster has answered those fighting for the repeal of the Lafollette Sea- man's law. Had the law been in effect, Chicago would have been spared this horror. By that act but 1,200 would have been allowed on board. The law is operative August 4th. + Under it I believe the East- land will be the last catastrophe of its kind." Sharp in his defense of the Lafol- lette law and levelling a bitter attack against the present federal steamboat inspection: system, Adam Furuseth, president of the International "Sea- mans 'Union, thus gave vent to his feelings to-day on the Chicago ma- rine disaster. fe A NORWBGIAN BARK Destroyed by German Submarine-- Orew Let Ge. ; Special to the Whig.)

"After a stubborn combat, the en-| emy forces who ¢rossed Narew, south of Rozan, and were advancing south-| ward toward the Bug, have been] driven back from Ozh to Olsanki,"| said the official statement.

All German attacks on the Narew front in the last twen- ty-four hours have been unsuccess- ful." MOVEMENTS IN POLAND Combined Operations Indicate Vaster Scheme Than Supposed. London, July 27.--The - Morning Post Petrograd correspondent cab- les: The Germans are developing a new movement or plan. It ap- provinces directed seemingly upon Riga was merely a preliminary move- ment to aid the advance in quite a different direction. Before reach- ing Mitau, that is one long march from Riga, the enemy suddenly turn- | ed southeastviards. Simultaneously | other movements developed. Junish- | ky, on the high read, 26 miles north- east of Shavli, was seized, and from Rossieny; 40 miles south of Shawl, another quite distinct force has be- gun to march due east. The column which seized Junish- ky, like the columns recently engag- ed before Mitau, is marching south- east. These combined movements are being made in such force as to prove their importance to the Ger- man general + strategic plan. Ex- perts here no longer speak of Ger- man operations north of the Niemen as demonstrations or a diversion, but enemy's strategic scheme Is much more vast in conception than hither-| to was supposed. The only puzzl-| ing point of this interpretation is the | impossibility of conjecturing whence the Germans are drawing the astoun- ding numbers which are now un- doubtedly is action on the Russian fronts. JAILED 'FOR "FALSE" NEWS Youth Wrote Parents Here About Country's Condition. Paris, July 27.--~The Geneva (Switzerland) correspondent of the Havas Agency send the following: "The Criminal Court at Constance (Germany) sentenced a factory workman named Radolfzell, seven- teen years old, to three weeks in pri- son for giving "false" information concerning the economic situation in Germany in a letter to his parents in the United Stites. Boss Barnes' Lawyer Dead. New York, July 27.--Willlam I. Ivins, a well-known lawyer and for years prominent in politics, died here aged sixty-four years. Mr. Ivins was recently taken ill after his arduous labors in behalf of William Barnes, ifr his libel suit against Theodore Roosevelt.

Advices received here say that the plight of the Turks is growing des- perate. By wrecking coal docks on the Asia Minor coast and destroy- ing coal carriers, the Russian fleet has made it necessary to shut down many Turkish factories and railway and munitions works lack coal. Travellers arriving at the. Rus- sian frontier, say it may be necessary to shut down Constantinople's water works, Turks Likely to Massacre the Christians Rome, July 27.--The apostolic de- legate at Constantinople has succeed- ed in conveying confidential informa- tion to the Vatican that the forcing of the Dardanelles is inevitable, and that the Turks are' determined to massacre the Christians wher the Allies occupy Constantinople, whi Tasod will probably be 1o the ground. The delegate urges the Pope to use his' influence to prevent massacres and to suggest that the Christians be interned in Asia Minor that they may thus escape a death which oth- erwise will be inevitable. The Pope has appealed to Emper- or William and to Emperor Francis Joseph, whom he will hold respon- gible, unless the threaténed massa- cres are averted. + EXECUTION POSTPONED. - ---- + (Special to the Whig.) 4 New York, July 27.---Upon the request of Supreme Court Justice Ford for more time to consider the application for a new trial made by Charles Becker, under sentence of death for instigating the mur- der of Herman nthal, gambler, the execution of the former police lietitenant was postponed last night from Wed- # nesday until Friday morning % of this week.

Petrograd, July 27.--Now that the Russian's first dreadnought is in the Black Sea the command of that sea, which has been practically her's for many months past, is now absolute, even if Turkey has the undamaged Goeben available. This considera- tion is of importance at the present moment, and the expectation of the re-opening of the Dardanelles is be- lieved to approaching realization.
