CARELESS OF DEATH 80 THEY MIGHT WIN The British Correspondent Gibbs Pays Tribute to the Canadians' Gallantry. London, Sept. 22.--The rell- known British correspondent, PHlip Gibbs, writing on the Somme fight- ings, says "Canadians gained a great victory Friday and Saturday after long, hard experiences in the Ypres salient. They came to the Somme battle determined to get their own back, do great adventures. Their attack was finely organized. When all the difficulties are known it will be put to their credit as a really great military achievement. "Later I hope to write a full story of the Canadian victory, for these men from overseas were very care. less of death so they might win." BURIED UNDER TRENCH MUD CANADIAN EX-BANK CLERK HAD THRILLING EXPERIENCE. Sensations All New -- Frightened Comrades When He Wiggled Up Through Ton of Loose Earth. London, Sept. 22.--To be buried (under a ton or two of trench mud after being hit on several parts of the body with jagged pieces of shell was the experience of Pte. J. M, Daly, of Montreal, of the staff of the Merchants Bank until his enlistment a4 year ago. This happened during the great move forward, where are no deep dugouts or scientifically- made trenchesyin which to store one- self away with advantage. Australidans had already pushed a bug dent in the German front line and Canadians were hurriedly sent to relieve them for a spell. The order was, "Rush." Canadians were In full rig-out, greatcoat, knapsack, rifle, knife, water bottle. And here be- gins Daly's story: "We ditched our topcoats and knapsacks. We knew what a rush' order meant. Our knapsacks are ol- ways bumping into things, besides, in mine anyway there was only bully beef," a smile coming over his face as' much as a big hole in his right cheek would allow, "Our heavy coats, tao, were out of the question. The water bottle is always the last to go." The battalion got across the open first rate. Though it was broad daylight they never lost a man and came np-into the makeshift trenches of the Anzacs. High explosive shells dropped on every hand, but the bat- talion took no notice. It would not have made any difference if they had. Then the particular shell came which did for. the ex-bank clerk. His first feeling was as if he was drowning, his second was a fearful pain in his chest and shoulders. Intense pressure from weight of earth, a' new kind of darkness, with singing in the ears. At length there awoke a spirit of self-preservation. He found the earth covering him shallow and could force the left arm through. He then clawed diligently until light broke @fd he wriggled til} able to poke his head through. 'I came out shaking my head like a swimmer after a big dive. 1 shall _| not soon forget the faces of the other chaps when I appeared. They were more frightened a good deal than myself." > .

The French Have Cleared the Entire Region Northwest of Armensko and Progressed to Heights Domin- ating Florina-Poplin Road. (Special To The Whig) Paris, §ept. 22.--The Bulgarians have sustained a heavy defeat at the hands of the Serbians on Zbrosko, it was officially anpfunced to-day, and have also been pushed back by the French. Pursuing their advance in the Broda river region, the Serbs have reached Vrbani, north of Florina, af- ter repulsing Bulgarian attacks. French troops cleared the entire region northwest of Armensko of the Bulgarians, and progressed, af- ter heavy fighting, to the heights Somatng the Florina-Poplin Road. or £7 French Repulse Attacks. (Special to the Whig.) Paris, Sept. 22..-Most violent German attacks on new French lines north of Somme along LePriez-Ran- court front were stopped short by 4 French curtain of fire last night.

War Tidings. It is stated in Paris that Von Hindenburg hifaself is directing counter-attacks 'in the Somme dis- trict with 90,000 men. The Russo-Rumanian 'force in Dobrudja has compelled the retire ment of Von Mackensen troops for several miles. Greeks in the Island of Crete have revolted against King Constantine. Philip Gibbs says "the full story of the Canadian victory will thrill the great Dominion like a heroic song." Norway and Sweden secretly agreed in August, 1914 not to enter the war on opposite sides. No agree- ment was reached between Norway and Denmark, however, Portuguese troops operating in Mozambique have crossed the Ro- vuma River (dividing German East Africa from Portuguese East Africa). The Bishop of London says shoot- ing is too good for the male hawks who prowl the streets, He a de nounces as a traitor to his country the man or woman who writes lecher- ous and slimy plays. 'Mackensen's armies in the Dubru- dja are in full retreat at all points, burning villages as they go. Hundreds of "German, lives are recklessly sacrificed in fruitless icounter-attacks on the Somme. More victories for the Rumanians in sylvania are reported. One- fou of the country is in King Constantine and the premier deny that an ultimatum was sent to Germany. : emi sia imaiin BASEBALL ON THURSDAY. 4 fw Se C New York, 4 Chicago, 0.

Women pickets made their entry into the traction strike, which in its two weeks duration las not material- ly stopped the subway, elevated and surface line transportation in New York. If the advance continues as begun, the British and Colonial troops will soon be in a twelve-mile stretch of open ground, with no end of possi- bilities against the enemy. Some ex- citing movements are anticipated very soon. ASKED TO INTERFERE. Plots Against British Rule Fomented on United States Territory. London, Sept. 22.--The British Government has made strong repre- sentations to Washington on the ground that United States territory is being used to foment plots against British rule in various parts of the world, especially India. This infor- mation comes from a high authority. The State Department is informed that the two most active centres of this agitation are California -and Manila. In California the plots are sald to flourish amid a colony of ex- patriated Indians, while Manila is declared to be the headquarters for German plotters for the Far Bast, Britain has furnished proof of one instance where the Germans spent $500,000 buying arms with the in- tention of smuggling them into In- dia. The Manila organization is composed mainly of Germans who fled from Shanghai in the last ' six months, finding that city too danger ous a place. POWER I8 BEING SHOWN. Duke of Devonshire Refers to Ger- many's Biggest Error. . London, Sept. 22.-- The Duke of Devonshire, receiving the freedom of the city of Eastbourne as a com plifdent on his appointment as Gov, ernor-General of Canada, sald that certain individuals on the continent of Europe had recognized the true 'relationship existing between all portions of the British Empire, this war would never have taken place. Germany, said His Grace, never made a bigger miscalculation than in im- agining it only required a signal from herself for the Dominions to rush into her arms or set up In- deperidence. The Empire, he be- lieves, is only beginning to show the power of which it is capable, BRITISH WAR INVENTIONS. strtrenfs Some Astounding Ones, According to Harvard Professor. New York, Sept. 22.---The British are manufacturing new war inven- tions "which would turn the Krupps green with envy," according to Dr. Benjamin Rand of Harvard Uniyer- sity, who returned from a visith to England to-day on the steamship An- dania. Accorded privileges of in- spection by the British Foreign Of- fice, Dr. Rand said he visited muni- tion and ordnance factories and saw "some astonishing inventions," but that he was pledged not to disclose their nature. He found among every class, he said, an intense determina- tion to do all possible to win the war. In one factory he saw 7,000 women at work, uniformed in khaki. - New factories were being built, he said, and existing ones constantly extend- (Special to the Whig.) .

Many addi- tional drtillery trains also had been brought up for' the event, The results of the battle were dis- astrous for the attacking forces, de- clares the correspondent, division after division being decimated by the French infantry and machine gun fire. The fighting was extraordinar- ily fierce in the centre of the region attacked around Bouchavesnes and Bois L'Abee and at Combles, about the Priez farm, as well as at Ran- court. At Priez farm two Prussian battalions were nearly destroyed, adds the correspondent, and & simi- lar fate was suffered at Rancourt by three German regiments which, ad- vancing in four waves, made the last desperate effort of the day. The extent of the German losses, says the despatch, may be estimated by the fact that a company of the 11th Bavarian Division lost 160 men out of 210, while regiments else- where lost 60 per cent. of their ef- fectives.
