London, Aug. 18, --The London Gazette contains the report from Admiral De Robeck describing the landing of the Allies on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The commander of the fleet large- ly covers the same ground as the ré- port previously submitted by Gen- eral Sir lan Hamilton, He tells how, on the morning of April 24th, the transport River Clyde, like the famous ship at Troy, endeavored to shore lighters in or- der to form a bridge over which the troops might move, The effort at first was a failure, The lighters, run out ahead, failed to reach the beach, and a gap was left in which troops, trying to leap ashore, soon were piled in a heap of dead and dy- ing. Lighter Commander Unwin left the River Clyde and stood waist deep in the water under a heavy fire trying to get the lighters in posi- tion. He worked on until, suffer- "ing from the cold and immersion, he was forced to return to his ship, where he was wrapped in blankets. Against physicians' orders he re- turned and completed the job. He came back to the River Clyde to be treated for three bullet wounds, but left the ship again in a lifeboat to try to save the wounded who were JUSTIFIES INACTION ON WESTERN FRONT British Ambassador to Russia De- fends French and British Inactivity. London, Aug. 18.---Despatches from Petrograd to morning newspa- pers quote from an interview given there by Sir George Buchanan, the British Ambassador. The Daily News correspondent says that Sir George justifies appar- ent inaction of the French and Brit- ish troops against the Germans in the west. He points out that if the German were able to piérce the Franco-British positions this might prove irreparable. - It is better that the Allies in the west should wait until they are quite ready. The Russians hope that "all the sections of the Allies will represent one or- ganic entirely." The Dally Mail despatch says: "With regard to the Dardanelles, Sir George made the interesting disclo- sure that when Turkey declared war Russia appealed to Great Britain to make a demonstration in some quar- , Ter Wien wows ssye toe eflect of * drawing- off a portion of the Turkish forces in the Caucasus.

London, Aug. 18.--Princess Alex- | ander of Teck, wife of the Governor- | General designate for Canada in {succession to the Duke of Con- | naught, to-day made the acquain- tance of the troops at Shorncliffe. Early in the morning the division |set out for a long route march, and | the Princess, motoring from Ash- {ford, accompanied by her two little |daughters and Lady Northcliffe, |e ossed the route taken at several) Tr | points, seeing and saluting the men {as they marched past in full equip- ment. In the latter part of the afternoon the Princess arrived at the Sir John Moore Plain, at Shorncliffe, where the battalions were paraded. Led by the massed bands and two bands of pipers, these marched passed the royal car. Around the car were Minister of Militia General Hughes, Sir Edward Carson, General Mac- dougall, Colonel Grant Morden, Cap- tain Cochrane, Captain Byron Green and other officers. The weather was again unfavor- able, a thunderstorm raging part of the day, but it cleared up during the review, and the garden party followed was held under a fair sky.

All five were awarded the Victo- ria Cross, Admiral De Robeck declares that innumerable feats of heroism and daring have marked the operations against the Dardanelles. Gallantry and contempt of death on the part of officers and men alike alone have made the operations possible, he Says. Commander Robinson has been decorated with the Victoria Cross Tor going alone into an enemy's position and destroying a 4-inch gun. He returned for a second charge, with which a second gun was destroyed. Fifteen medals of the Distinguish- ed Service Order have been confer- red, besides many other awards. DEMANDS EXPANSION, ---- German Liberal Party Defies Its At- titude. Berlin, Aug. 18.--The Central Committee of the National Liberal party met in the Reichstag building and passed this resolution: "The result of the present war can only bea peace which, by the extension of our boundaries east and west and overseas, secures us mili- tarily, politically andi economically against new attacks and.repays the heavy sacrifices the German people have so far made and will continue to make until a victorious end. The whole party will stand squarely back of any Government which will pur- sue these aims with unbendable de- termination." . The fact tuat the newspapers were allowed to publish the resolu- tion indicates that the time is not far off when open discussion of the aims of war will be permitted, The Tageblatt, which supports the Chancellor, says: "The resolution undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the Government and the General Staff's edict against premature dis- cussion of the aims of the war. The unfortunate result will be that a fight over these aims will be preci- pitated." The effect of the resolution is to CULM LUO ICBUCISUIP Vi dei kess Bassermann.

OTTAWA MAYOR'S PLAN. ---- Shell Factory To Aid Esfipire And Unemployed. * Ottawa, Aug. 18.--The Ottawa Board of Control at its next meet- ing will consider the advisability of assisting the Empire in this war. by making a grant towards the estab- lishment of a shell factory to sell to the Government at cost and will later take the matter up with the Shell Committee. Such is the project of Mayor Por- ter, who states that not only would the production of such a plant be a valuable help but it would at the same time give employment to a number of workless in the capital. His proposition is that the factory should be run so as to make no pro- fit The meyor thinks that such a plan might well be followed gener- ally by Canadian municipalities in view of the great demand for mu- nitions at the present time and also having regard to the unemployment that exists in many centers, FIND GERMAN IN RANKS.

There is an increase of 48,361 over last year, according to a report of the Census and Statistics branch. This shows the numbers of farm livestock in Canada at June 30th, 1915, were as follows: horses, 2,996,099: mileh cows, 2,666,846; other, cattle, 8,399,155; an cattle, 6,066,001: Sheep, 2,038,662; Swine, 3,111,900, as compared with 1914, these figui¥s represent increases of 48,361 horses, 35,624 other cattle, and 29,184 ali cattle, but decreases of 6,440 milch cows, 19,383 sheep and 322,366 Notwithstanding the large and sudden exportation of farm animals the numbers in Canada are being fairly well maintained. The large decrease in the numbers of swine, with a correspondingly large expor- tation to the United States, applies principally to Alberta, where owing to the increased cost of grain stufrs caused by the war, swine feeding be- came unprofitable, large numbers or swine being thrown upon the mar- ket last fall.
