The British passed many strongly fortified farms north and north- west of Goeberg. At this point they were fighting neéarly half a mile from their jumping off place. The line was pushed northward along Passchendaele Ridge almost to the point at which the highest crest starts sloping downward. To-day's operations were carried out gn a 2,500 yard front for limited objective, which had been virtually all gained by ten o'clock. Asigo Captured. (Canadian Press Despatch.) Bédrlin, Nov. 10.--Austro-German forces, which are invading Northern Itaiy, have reuched the Fiava river. the British one of the most fachsive] victories of the entire war. By cap-| turing Gaza, Gen.

By Charles #41. Grasby. Rome, Nov. 10.--My observations here confirm previous insistence {upon the urgent need of centralized methods of managing the war. At bottom, this war is the biggest busi- ness enterprise ever undertaken, and, whie the Kaiser handles his end of it as such, each of the Allies is more or less playing its own separate critical decisions "tntil the advs' | has been lost.

(Amsterdam, Nov. 10.--According to a Berlin telegram to the' Local Anzeiger, the Crown Council aas solved the Polish question according to Austrian wishes. Emperor Charles receives the title of King of Poland. Poland will be attached to Austria. Galicia is added to Poland. Lithu. ania and Courland will probably fall to Prussia. The King of Prussia will receive the title of Grand Prince of Lithuania and Duke of Courland. The Cracow Conservative Czas, chief organ of. the Galician Nobles party; recently warned Prussia: "The union of Poland and Lithuania is a historic dogma of the Poiish programme, and every step taken in Wilna against this principle will be felt by the whole Polish society as directed against itseif. It is im- possible to work a renewal of the Polish State and simultaneously treat the Lithuanians and. Poles as crippled people. It is impossible to threaten Lithuania without arousing bitter feeling among the Poles."

Their line of communica- tion is maintained through a narrow Strip of country with British troops threatening it on Bot¥ sides. It can be stated flatly that the British troops will not spare any ef- fort to win a clean-cut victory and wipe out the previous history of their fighting with the Turks, especi- aly the Kut affair. Furthermore, with Germany going against Italy with = furious energy, and with the intention of knocking her from among thé Entente Allies, <4lie British have the more reason for of * Rake 3 o central alliance than Germany has of accomplishing a similar purpose with Italy.

As announced in yesterday's Whig the bakers of tire city have decided to raise the price of bread from 9¢ to 11¢. They point out that Kings- ton for the past year has been getting bread oheaper thin most any other place in 'the Dominion, the bakers being enabled to do this because they had flour contracts at the old rates and thus gave to their customers the advantage of low buying. Now that they have to pay the ltigher rates and can only obtain flour on certain restricted terms; they find it absolutely necessary to Taise the price of bread. They point out that the new prices charged are as reasonable as are to be found any- where iu the Dominion, Met Her Brother on Landing.
