Af-| ter remarking that the promoters of the movement managed to inveigle and a few cranks into the front page of their prospectus, it says that, in spite of the fact that the manifesto managed | to get more or less perfunctory pub- licity in other papers, there ean be no doubt that it is a Harmsworth becom. As one of the proofs, the Star points out that one of the honorary secretaties of the National = Serviee league, "whose names are modestly concealed in the Times-Daily Mail manifestos, is a journalist," who for a numu.r of years has been the trust: ed organizer of most of Lord North cliffé's booms. "The presence of this journalist in the national ser: vice movement as an honorary secre- tary," says the Star, "stamps -it in- delibly as a Harmsworth boom being worked on the old lines." The Star, in an editorial on the subject, comments on the passage in in the national service manifesto which says, "the first list of distin- guished signatories will deeply im press the country," saying "among them is Lord Northcliffe, whose re cent attacks on Lord Kitchener are rot to be forgotten.

Fox, where the Wormwith factory'is now locat- ed. Mr. Nelligan's grandfather, who fought in the war of 1812-14 in Canada and at the battle of Water- loo in 1815, settled in Kingston in 1839, and died here in 1842. His father was born in Kingston bar- racks, England, in }826. Mr. Nel- ligan was a member of the 14th Regiment while in Kingston. He the Northcliffe Press, who are for- ever belittling the part which the British Empire 'is playing in the war," reproduces articles on the an- niversary of the war published In leading American newspapers, "which have the advantage of re ceiving news from enemy gources as well as from the Allies, and are un- der no censorship." The Chronicle, in an editorial on these articles says: "How strikingly of these great newspapers are in our favor anybody who reads them can It has to be remembered that this confidence in our success and this warm Abbleviation of what we he first yea: of the war come not from journalis- ts who have access to only partial or incomplete soiirces of information but from, perhaps, the best inform- ed and best-organized press in the world--a press controlled by men who have devoted infinite pains and enterprise and money to giving thei readers the truth about the war. "That, looking impartially from the outside, they estimate our share of the war so highly and see so clear- ly through' German elusions and German hopes ought to be a matter for thankfulness and pride to Brit ish readers."

Paish, editor of the London Statist,| gave to the Associated Press yester- day a statement concerning the pre-| sent abnormal rate of exchange and the proposals of rectifying the situ- tion by establishing a large credit in| the United States. | Sir George is a recognized auth-| ority on international credit opera-| tions and was sent by the British Government to the United States last fall to adjust the disturbed credit conditions then existing. Concerning the present situation he said: "The fall in American | exchange on London to a discount) of about four per cent. is due simp- ly to the great purchases of Ameri- can products by the people of Eur- ope. In normal years Europe pays the United States -for goods pur- chased largely by means of sums spent in Europe by American tour- ists. This year there have naturally | been few tourists visiting Europe from the United States and Europe's means of- paying for a normal am- ount of goods bought from the Unit- ed States have therefore been great- ly reduced. "Moreover, Europe this year is buying from tife United States much greater quantities of goods that nor- mally, American exports to all the world in June having been no less than seventy per cent greater than normally, while her imports from the rest of the world were smaller than usual. Thus the trade balance in favor of the United States is quite exceptional, in consequence of re- duced imports, increased exports and practically ro American tourist expenditures abroad." | NANCY HANKS DEAD.

I -- (Special to the Whig.) Petrograd, Aug, 18.--The Ger- mans have begun a violent assault upon the fortress of Kowno. The War Office admitted to-day that the enemy has captured 'one small fort," and declared that separate fighting continues. German siege artillery of all cali- bre and Austrian howitzers have been pounding at the western and south-western forts of Kovno since early Monday. The Teutons have lo#t heavily in massed assaults. Great gaps were | torn in the ranks of Gen. Von Eich orn's army when the Germans threw | themselves in ¢lose formation on! positions 'facing Kovno from the | south-west. | Petrograd Optimistic, | London, Aug. 18.--The military situation is viewed with optimism, Petrograd reports, owing to the man- ner in which the Germans have been ; checked at the crossings of the riv- ers Liwiez and Krzna, east of the Siedlce-Lukow front ,where the in- vaders lost 800 prisoners in addi- tion to a heavy toll of dead and wounded. " Confidence is felt here that the Russians will now be able to make ™ farther progress eastward cost- Iy in the extreme to the invaders. The general activity which has com- pelled the Germans to give immedi- ate attention to the northern half of the campaign has changed the char- acter of operations from Warsaw. The deployment of six German | telegraphed to Berlin | armies, or from forty to forty-five corps, over a front of nearly two hun- dred miles facing Ossowetz and Brest-Litovsk shows that their fu- 'ture tasks in the woody, ' swampy district of Poliessie, surrounding Brest-Litovsk to the €outh-east, ex- | cludes the possibility of their turn- ing the Russian-left flank. Warning to Germans. Amsterdam, Aug. 18.--Warning is by the war correspondent of the Lokal Anzei- ger from the. eastern war theatre that the resistance of the Russians may be expected to increase as the Austro-German front approaches the Russian line of defence. The correspondent declareq that the Russians can dispose sufficiéntly strong forces to enable thém - to make a serious temporary redis- tance, and adds that battles of in- creasing intensity, with perhaps a retardation in the Austro-German advance, are to be looked for in the | immediate future. War Tidings. Prominent British officers home from the front urge compulsory ser- vice as the only means of winning the war. The Allies have succeeded in land ing 40,000 more troops, who have al- ready advanced sevéril miles lato Gallipoli. Italian troops in Austria captur- ed 4,000 Austrians during the past week.
