Reports of competent ob- servers show that the system of searchlights to detect Zeppelin visit- ors has worked out admirably, with the result that the chances of a raid- ers getting over London without de- tection are exceedinly slim, even in weather favorable for such a pro- gramme, When the ill-fated Zeppelin was first picked up she made efforts to hide behind banks of clouds, but the searchlights pursued her relentlessly. The concentration of the searchlights is described by an expert as perfect. The whole quarter of the sky in which 'the Zeppelin moved was illuminated But the Rumanians Say Their Capital is No Danger.

VERY SATISFACTORY May Be Surplus of Fifty Mil- lions to Apply to War Expenditure. (Special to the Whig.) Ottawa, Sept. 6.--An increase of twenty-four millions in total receipts and a decrease of five and a half mil- lions in expenditure apart from war, is the Dominion's record for five months ending August 31st as com- pared with the same period of 1915. Sir Thomas - White says this ex- ceeds the budget expectations of last season. The Minister of Finance an- ticipates if the revenue countingyes on this satisfactory basis, the Govern- ment will have a surplus of forty or fifty millions to apply against the principal of war indebtedness.

By_Frederick Palmer. rain With the British Armies in France Sept. 5.--It was an assault "by the right flank" in the concerted Anglo- French attack on the Somme front Sunday, with the great battle which never has ceased for two months, flaming up into a general conflict. Kitchener's new army charged the the German army--the Prussian Guards--four divisions of which were concentrated before the British to stay the offensive. In places the German Emperor's favorite troops were 'driven back, counter-attacked, and again had to yield their crimson- ed, shell-wrecked trenches to stub- born English and Scotch, most of whom two years ago did not know how to form fours, and who fought all the harder because of the known prestige of their foe. It seemed hardly possible that more artillery could be concentrated again- st given areas than had been already, but more was concentrated Sunday | both by British and Germans. Never had so many guns been in action. Regularly Timed. The attack was not simultaneous, nor was it along the whote line.
