. YEAR 82 -- NO' 200 FRENCH AVIATORS - ~~ RENEW AIR RAIDS Made Attacks on German Railway and Factories in Woevre Region and Along Railways Used By Enemy. German Trenches Captured at Landershach and Sondernach, Consolidating French Positions in That Region--- Enemy Started an Offensive in the Argonne But it Was Speedily Halted. : Wht) \ Paris, Aug. 27. French aviators fmewed their raiding operations last night and early to-day, attacking German railway stations and facto- ries The air attacks were made principally in the Woevre region and along the railways used by the enemy to carry supplies to the armies of the Crown Prince and those fighting before Metz. Among the more important points under attack were the railway stations at St. Baussant, Essey, and Divoiry, and the big gas plant at Dornach. At Muelheim, the railway station, 2lectrie light plant and their build- ings were bombarded. : ~ German trenches were captured at Landersbach, in Alsace, and trenchiportions on the crest of Sondernach. The new gains consolidate the French positions in this region and make them more difficult of at- tack by the enemy. . J In the Argonne, the Germans launched-an offensive last night\before Auberive, but their advance was speedily halted. In the regions of Arras and Roye and between the Oise and the Aisne, violent cannonading continued throughout, last night. FRANCE WILL NOT HEAR "OF ANY PEACE DISCUSSION (Special to the Whig.) Paris, Aug. 27.-~That France is not willing to talk peace was indi- cated by Premier Viviani in a stirring speech in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday. . "Pat the question of peace before the country and it 'would be blown to nothing," the premier asserted. 'In the higher interest of the, country by which we dre judged, we must justify the union of governynt and parliament," said the premier. "The home, services of the War Department have accomplished their task. In other quarters errors have been made, but parliament has lent cordial co-operation and the errors hive been repaired. "Let us bnish pessimism and depressing anxiety. France, by the grace of-all her children's efforts; her public servants, prompted by neces- sary criticism, is equal to the task of fulfilling lier destiny. " **Not until heroic Belgium has been freed, not until we have re-taken Alsace and Lorraine, could there be mischievous division among us. " "We must destroy the legend that the republic of France, having borne for forty-five years a horrible wound, did not make provision for military defence. > : "France has created an army fulfilling the most modern conceptions. She has instilled the love of justice, the love of right and upon the day the war began the children of France united in support of this high ideal, without which there would have been only armies of inercenaries." At this the deputies cheered the jirenifer wildly. When the demon- stration died down the premier continued: ; "Yes the German press has said that France was divided. Yes, there are divergencies of opinion. = These are the essence of free gov- ernment. But it would be a fatal division if there were in this country a fragtion of the people who even thought sf & presatuie poate." ie ~~ "Premier Viviani concluded his remarks by saying: 'l ask you to adopt the conciliatory attitude necessary that we may go on to fictory." ' . The entire Chamber applauded the premier. It was voied that his address be posted on the billboards throughout France. - After Premier Viviani had concluded the Chamber voted the credits askéd by the Government by 539 to 1. SAID TO BE UNDER WAY a {Special to the Whig.) London, Aug. 27.--Unguestionably it can be said that the first infor mal peace negotiations' are now, in fact, under way. nstead of being * conducted through intermediaries, they are taking the form of public statements delivered by responsible Ministers of England 'and Germany. Each nation is cautiously sounding the other, and after the first extrava- gances have been brushed aside, a common basis for consenting to an ar- mistice may reveal itself as suddenly "as the warclouds gathered last sam- mer. 4 7 3 Sr . { | The Daily British KINGSTON, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 27. 1915 | \ pi " 0 " " BALKAN KINGS NEARLY READY TO garia, and on the right King Ferdinand of Rumania. tantly related.

The nationalization of the coal mines of Wales and some form of conscription to force the "shirkers" into the army, are important questions now under serious consideration by the _ English cabinet, it was learned to-day. The Ministry is keeping in close touch with the situation at Cardiff, where another general strike of 200,000 miners threatens to close the nation's shell factories.
