. PAGE TWELVE EE---- SLAV ADVANCE IS COMING Germans Realize That it is Mad MAKE BIG EFFORTS TO CAPTURE RIGA AND DVINSK/ BEFORE WINTER : The Germans Hurl 100,000 Shells a Day At the "Russians To Secure Those Coveted Positions. Petrograd, . Oct. 29.--Uxkwll and Illoukst are the points at which the Germans are making the biggest ef- fort to force the Dvina. Uxkull is on the right flank of their Riga posi- tions, 'and Iloukst is on the left flank of their Dvina positions. Sim- ultaneous attacks at these two points are probably being made with the definite object of separating the Russian Riga and Dvinsk armies The seriousness of this effort is not to be minimized. The Germans know perfectly well a new RuSsian advance is only a matter of time. To weet that advance on a strong front it is necessary for them to bein pos- session of the Dvina line before the winter sets in, otherwise their posi tion will be perpetually insecure. Moreover, established beyond the Dvina they can hold their front with a much smaller force and devote closer attention to the western and Serbian front, where the need of men grows more pressing every day During thé last fortnight the Ger- mans have considerably strengthen- ed their forces on the Dvina, perhaps to a certain extent at the expense of their centre and partly, according to one rumor, at the expense of the pel gian. front. The. main body of rein forcements seem, however, to con- gist of Landsturm troops, mobilized for home service at the beginning of the war and latterly trained for first line work. The number of troops operating directly against Dvinsk is not ex traordinary large, about 80,000 men on a 28-mile front, but they are supported by a thost astonishing quantity of artillery, which at &*ma- ximum intensity, pours out shells at the rate of 190,000 a day This reckless expenditure has led to in~ terruptions in the supply, as the light railway from Vilkomir has proved unequal to the task of transport and the services of peasants have been commandeered. In point of courage and energy the battles near Uxkull and Illoukst do honor to both sides. Dashing attacks are followed by splendid counter-attacks, and .the magnificent fighting qualities displayed here shine out gven in the long record of the courage of the patient millions which the war has already establish- ed in history. German soldiers are assured by their commanders that. once Riga and Dvinsk are taken there will be no more fighting during the winter, so théy are gathering up for one des perate effort every scrap of courage and endurance left in their sorely- tried spirits.

Destroyed By Bomb, Rome," Oct. 29.--An: examination of the famous Sealzi Church, in Ven- ice, which suffered in the recent raid on the city by aircraft, shows that the first bomb fell in the left nave. It demolished two beams and pierced | the ceiling, which was entirely de- stroyed by the second bomb. Not a foot of Tiepolo's magnificent fresco remains intact, and it: is considered virtually impossible to restore even a small part of the masterpiece. G. T.

You have noticed, no doubt, that any cold aggravates nasal eatarrh, and the flow of mucous amazes you that such objectionable matter could find lodg-1 ment in your head. To ignore this catarth when the cold subsides is wrong because it continues to slowly injure the delicate linings of the nasal passages and clog them up. To correct ¢atarrh, cleanse the nos- trils frequently with a solution of warm water and salt, insert yaseline on re- tiring, and take a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion after meals for one month, Scott's acts through the fiopd to feed the tissues, 'and contains soothing glycerine -to check the inflamnmtion and heal the sensitive membranes. HOW WAR_HAS EFFECTED Shire street and Electric Railway Unions in Canada. Apropos of the statistics of the present war, the following statement made by President W. D. Mahon in his annual report delivered at the fourteenth convention of the Amal- gamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees of Am erica, held recently in Rochester, N.Y., will be of interest: I doubt if you know or realize the actual effect that this war has had upon our organization in Canada. We speak of the war as an European war, but when you hear the facts as to its effect on ydir own membership, you will realize that the war has reached to this North American continent and robbed your association of some of its most loyal and sturdy members The reports gathered from our Ca- nadian divisions show that 473 of our membership have enlisted and gone to war from the divisions, as follows: No. 99, Winnipeg, Man. «+130 No. 101, Vancouver, B.C... .. .. 3 No. 107, Hamilton, Ont. ..

President Mahon is well known to many Kingstonians, especially among the labor element, he having deliver- ed a very eloguent and forceful speech upon current topics some years ago in the City Hall BACK TO THE OLD LAW. Maritime Order-in-Council As To Treatment of Neutral Ships. London, Oct. 28.--The Times, in an editorial, welcomes the new Or- der-in-Council relating to the treat- ment of neutral ships flying neutral flags. "We now-.revert to the old law as elaborated by a series of dis- tinguished judges in this country and the United States," the Times says. "In this, as in so many other mat- ters, the law takes the plain, com- mon-sense view of the subject. In deciding the nationality of a mer- chant ship it takes into consideration the nationality of her owners, and where the court is satisfied that there exists an enemy interest in the ship it renders any such interest lia- ble to condemnation. "Where neutrals and enemies have interests in the same vessel the neu- tral interests are exempt, but the en- emy interests may be condemned, and on such condemnation either the vessel is sold at the price of the en- emy interests appropriated to the Crown, or the enemy: interests are sold to the neutral co-owners. "It is astonishing that we ever sus- pected the operation of a system so just and expedient as the old law. It is still more astonishing that we did not acknowledge and fall back upon the established Anglo-American practice at an earlier period of the war." FOUR SHELLS EXPLODED Distance From King and Prince of Wales. Paris, Oct. 28.--Four shells ex- ploded omly 200 yards from King George of England and President Poincaire of France during their vis- it to the front yesterday, according to a Temps correspondent back of the firing line. - The King and President, with the Prince of Wales and Gen.

No- thing has been [learned of the Queen's games, but MeGill at their annual sports shaped up very poor alongside of University of Toronto. Jack "Rufus" Ryan, the"former Ottawa star outside wing, has just about decided to join the aviation corps.

A. and its sale to the highest bidder, was the suggestion made by Sam Lichtenhein, president of the Wan- derers, as method of stalling off the threatened war with the Pacific Coast League. Lichtenheim was in favor of giv- ing the Ognadians another chance to |. pay thé $750 owing the Pacific Coast League for Lalonde. If this money is not pid he says he will move at the nexf{ NH.

Neeley, whose right arm is cul off above the elbow, is playing guard the freshmen 11, and coaches rophesy that he will be a varsity regular next season. Some years ago McGill had a one- armed football player at outside wing on the rugby team. His name was Martin, and he was one of the best players that ever wore the red and white, despite this handicap, Martin's arm was cut off just below, but did not prevent him front being a star tackle. ! Jess Willard, the world's heavy- weight champion, has only twp man- agers now, "Tom" Jones, the active manager, and "Jack" Curley, as as- sistant. © Willard sent on a lawyer who purchased for $33,000 the inter- ests that Harry Frazee and Lawrence 'Weber, the theatrical mien, bad in him. It is understood that quite a little friction developed between the cowboysand the theatrfval men, with the result that Jess suggested that they sell out. They named $33,000 as a price for letting him out, and Willard quickly paid over the money and they turned over their contracts.
