At various places in this sector and in Galicla, Petrograd asserts the Austro-Germans have been defeated.

Ottawa, Oct. 6.- eviewing the fighting of the past week, the Can- Eye Witness on the western front says In part: "Severe fighting continued almost without cessation on the Canadian front 'during the past week. The jermans brought up reinforcements and fresh troops and opposed at times desperate resistance to our ad- vance. The attacks were succeeded by counter-attacks, and certain por- tions of trenches were the scene of sanguinary hand-to-hand struggles. '"Artillery auel and artillery con- centration upon infantry trenches was terrible. The endurance, cour- an, heerfulness of our men were beyond praise, and their attacks were <delivered with an unabated fury. East and north of Sourcelette our line was materially advanced. There since the Can- adians have participated in war, cavalry patrols were employed to maintain touch with the enemy, "In recent advances the Can- adians alone have taken three square miles of Somme river territory."

The total ban in Canadian chartered banks at the end of August aggregated $1,250,- 000,000, as compared with less than $1,000,000,000 at the end of August, 1914, and a little over $1,000,000, 000 at the end of August, 1915.

War Correspondents' Headquarters in France, Oct. 5.--Germany is short of guns, aeroplanes and war ma- { terial of all sorts, but not of food, | according to a most sensationally in-| teresting document the British have! captured, which is called the "Ex- periences of the Fourth German Corps in the battle of the Somme." i The document was written as in- | structions to the troops. | the corps comm r, who has been fighting against the British through- out the offensive, Thi: long-detailed revelation of the inner thoughts of the German Staff discusses the meth- ods and shorteomings of every branch of the German army in view of the unexpected power and organ- ization the [British have shown. The document starts out by paying a tri- bute to the British infantry, "which undoubtedly has learned much since last autumn's offensive." "It shows great dash in attacks"! the document continues. "The Eng- lishman also has/physique and train- ing in his favor.

The only man-| | I'Stafr is to take portions of the regu- '| tar reserves from points not threat- | ened to where they are most needed, relying on the strength of their de- | fences and the difficulty for their ad- | versary to start offensives without the Germans being appraised.

GERMANY'S ATTEMPT MISERABLY FAILED Tried to Blockade Sore Brit- ish Harbors and Lost Her Submarines. (Special to the Whig.) Berlin, Oct. 6.--A Submarine blockade of certain harbopg was sug- gested to the Government by several leaders of the Von Tirpitz faction, advocating the resumption of sub- marine warfare, it was learned to- day. The Von Tirpitz supporters of- fered this suggestion as a 'compro- mise. They urged that such a course would be in accord with the Chan- cellor"s announced determination of prosecuting a vigorous war against England and would cut off English food and ammunition supplies with- ty of neutrals . The Government is not impressed by the suggestion, and there is no present indication that it will be put into force. As a matter of fact this style of but failed miserably when the sub- marines were all sunk or captured by the British fleet.
