London, Aug. 25.--The Westmin- ster Gazette, while reiterating its preference for voluntary recruiting, says the "most serious argument which can be brought forward on the | question is the necessity at this stage of the conflict for making some pub- { lie demonstration of the firmness of | this country's intentions in ercer to | reassure the other nations with which we are allied. The © Westminster [Bre thinks that any doubts on i | | this point could be settled by a de- | elaration from _the Government that {it was raising' the minimum of the {army to a certain number of troop and that in order to ensure the reach- ji ing of the co eonvent stated every means, including compulsory service, if necessary, would be exerted.

Production of the Season Will be Presented---Decorators at Work in Playhouse. The Grand Opera House has been in the hands of the decorators, under- going ite annual "house cleaning,' and it it now looking spic and span for the official opening for the road shows to-night, when "A Pair of Sixes," one of the funniest 'farces ever written, will be the attraction. This play was at the Grand last sea- son, and made a big hit, and a full house is looked for to-night. The cast Is a good one, and the public is assured of a good entertainment. On Tuesday afternoon, a repre sentative of the Whig had the plea- sure of meeting D. P. Branigan, the manager of the house, and 'went through the popular playhouse. It has been given a thorough overhaul ing and everything is being done to make the surroundings pleasant for the patrons. The decorating work has been in the hands of the Great Eastern Scene Painting & Decorating Company, Toronto. A. J. Small, the proprietor, wha is theatregoers in every way, is having all the 'seats in the downstairs pore tio of the house removed, and they with leather seats and plush backs. This is vertainly a V ment. In addition, the house has been newly carpeted and the decor- ating and painting throughout has brightened it up. Another improve- ment noticed is that the machines for operating of the moving pictures haye been removed from the ground flogr to the gallery. The two ma- ¢hipes have been fitted into a prop- erin equip; cabinet, and in the fu- ery 'will be the head- the picture man. These machines can be operated with just -as good effect in the galery as down: stairs, and this change will be great- 1y appreciated. Men have been engaged equipping the stage with new lines throughout, and many other changes to bring about a complete system have been made. i \ Vaudeville At The G For Thursday, Friday an day of this week. an 'excellght pro- gramme. of vaudeville aud pictures has béen secured for the Grand. Blanche Sweet will be seen in the latest Jesse L. Lasky production of the extraordinary dramatic success, "The Captive," a romance of the Bal-| kan War. A two-reel Universal photoplay, a one:reel comedy picture and the famous Pathe colored pic tures also the Pathe News showing Satur- shown. The vaudeville selected is very fine and includes Frank Mont- gomery and Company in a singing und dancing act that'will be well worth seeing. ro Well Pleased Wit: Labels.

OFFICER RESPONSIBLE © FOR MISTAKE AT NEUVE CHAP. ELLE NOT KNOWN Death Before Surrender.--Soldiers Take Law Into Their Own Handss When They Face Danger Of Being Captured. ! ) London Tit Bits. "Considerable delay occurred af- ter the capture of Neuve Chapelle po- sition. The infantry had been . greatly disorganized. The delay would not have occurred if the clear. ly expressed order of Sir..Rouglas Haig had been a dpser- ved." 5 , Thus Sir John Fremch, in one of his dispatches. Who blundered?

Military. law and diseipline, however, gdmit of no mistake, and, as a rule, Buntshument is swift and drastic when Have been made on the bat- tlefield.. Sometimes, as in the case of. General von Emmich, the leader of the German army, who failed to capturé Liege in the reguired time and who 'shot himself, and a certain Russian commanding general who also committed suicide rather thaws surrender after committing a blun- der, distinguished soldiers take the law into their own hands. It is a curious fact, however, that while Field Marshal Bazaine was sentenced to death by a 'Frénch court-martial for having surrendered Metz to the Germans in 1870, the sentence being commuted afterward to lifelong imprisonment, Marshal MacMahon, who suffered many de- feats at the hand of the Germans, and was captured by them, was. ulti- mately elected to the presidency of France, and on his death was mourn- ed by the whole nation. 3 In the late Boer war, probably the two most lamentable blundérs are tein and Spion Kop.
