With the British Armies in the Field, Nov. 27.--Picked German troops perished like flies in the hand-to-hand struggles around Bour- lon village yesterday. Fighting with almost insane frenzy, they doggedly advanced inch by inch in the face of fearful fire. Then they came to a halt in a hand-to-hand battle--Iliter- ally stopped in their tracks by ut- ter exhaustion.

They spread in twisted, contorted. groups over the battlefield adjoining. The ruined town was a shambles of blood, of mangled bod- fes, of smoking ruins . The slight hold which the Germans kept on the town was at at fearful cost in men. Queant Now in Peril. The seventh day of Gen.

RIOR 1 YL RW The crown Prince Rupprecht's gar- rison at Queant, head of the "switch line" is directly - imperiled. The town is almost surrounded, Cambrai is useless to the enemy. To-day it had been cut from Queant by the British hold on Bourlon vil- lage. The Queant defenders, there- fore, had only a precarious line of communications to the north, The dominating heights of Bour- lqn have literally been saturated with German blood spilled in mad as- saults to take this promontory.

The Central Organization Has Push ed up the Objective--Harry Lan der to Help the Work--A Final Blow-out is Being Arranged. The objective of the Victory Loan campaign in Kingston has been pushed up to $2,000,000. There will be a big push this week to attain to the surprising sum. This was the decision of the general éommittee which held a meeting in the City Hall oft Monday. The first objective was $600,000, and this was attained in four days. Then this was doubled and the close of (hé second week found it passed. The committee felt it could strive for the two million dollars mark. The canvassers will re-cover their ground and will plan to secure ad- ditional subscriptions from those who have already subscribed, and to find out new purchasers. So far over 1,800 persons. have taken bonds and the surprising part is that some 1,200 of these are purchasers of bonds of from $50 to $250. The public has certainly manifest- ed a genuine interest in the schemes London, .Ont., Nov. 27.--Miss Mar- garet Thompson, who has been in jail here for five months for con- | tempt of court and for whose release | thousands of citizens petitioned in Vain, is now said to have lost her reason. She had promised her dying Link, and had kept this plédge for a' mumber of years. Then the child's Mather decided he wanted possession, \went to the courts and was given pos- session theoretically. But the girl's guardian refused to produce her or tell her whereabouts, declaring she would remain in prison all her life before she would comply with the court's demand. ------------------ Great Fire Destroys Pulp.
