RUSSIAN ARMY READY TO HELP RUMANIANS None Too Soon, for Hinden- burg Has Qathered a Strong Force. Lausanne, Switzerland, Oct. 17--It is now announced that the main Rus- sian army of 300,000 men is ready to take the field against the Bulgars. It is time, for the Germans are develop- ing a powerful offensive. I am told Hindenburg himself is directing operations from a distance. Infor- mgfition verified from several sources shows that since September 1 the Germans have sent 12 divisions against Genera} Brussiloff, in addi- tion to 12 'divisions despatched months ago. Of the last twelve divi- sions nine were used in the defence of Kovel, Viadimir and Volynaski. For the defence of Kovel, Hinden- burg concgntrated some thirty-one divisions. # When Rumania entered the war three German divisions were sent in part to Transylvania, in part to Dobrugen, while Austria sent sev- en divisions, of which six came from' the Russian front, and one from Al- bania. Thus Austria now has on the Rus- so-Rumanian front forty-four divi- sions and Germany sixty-five. More- over, there are ten German cavalry divisions and eleven Austrian.

COMPLETE RE-ORGANIZATION IN ENGLAND AND CANADA 18 RECOMMENDED First Defect in Canada~--Authorities Have Been Ignoring Natural De- sire of Canadian Wounded to Go to Own Hospitals. : Ottawa, Oct. 17.--Important, re- commendations for the re-organiza- tion of the Canadian army Medical Service in England, and to some ex- tent in Canada; are contained, it is understood, in a report submitted by ©ol. H. A. Bruce, special Inspector- General of Medical Services, to the Minister of Militia. Col. Bruce, of Toronto, who is one of Canada's leading surgeons, it will be remembered, was appointed ister of Militia, to investigate and re- port upon the work of the Canadian Army Medical Corps in England, in- cluding the administration of the various Canadian hospitals. Col. Bruce left Canada with the Minister of Militia in July, and the investiga- tion was conducted during the pres- ence of 8ir Sam Hughes in England Col. Bruce was assisted by a commit- tee composed of several of the lead- ing Army Medical Corps officers from Canada in his investigation. The re- port, which has been submitted to the Minister constitutes, it is' said, a serious condemnation of the service in England. As already announced from England, Surgeon-General Carleton-Jones, who has been direc- tor-general -of---Medical-- Service in England, is returning to Canada: A complete re-organzation of the Canadian Medical Service is recom- mended with the suggestion that the arrangement in Canada, {England and overseas be co-ordinat- ed. Other recommendations are that Canadian casualties be, as far as pos- sible, treated in Canadian hospitals, and that the care of Canadian sick and wounded be the first duty of the Canadian Army Medical Corps, that the Canadian hospitals be woncen- trated and voluntary hospitals for Canadians be abolished, hospitals now conducted or equipped by the Red Cross being taken over by the Medical Service for administration; that incapacitated Canadian soldiers be returned to Canada as soon as they are fit to travel, for further medical treatment and re-education; that the three Canadian hospitals now at Salonika be returned to Eng- land immediately if they can be spared by the Imperial authorities. ------ Needs in Canada.

Bruce and the commit- tee state that many soldiers are ar- riving from Canada, who, owing to medical unfitness, should never have been enlisted. They say that this system of disposing of casual- ties to hospitals in the, United King- dbm is unsatisfactory, and that the present method of having Canadian hospitals so widely scattered is ob- jectionable. There, is, they add, un- necessary detentiop in hospitals, in consequence of whi¢h Canadian sol- diers are retained in hospitals in Great Britain, many of whom should have been returned to duty, and oth- ers should have returned to Canada, where they could have been more economically and efficiently treated. THE BRITISH GAINS ARE SIGNIFICANT German Gun Captured With "Green Cross" Shells Turn= ed on Enemy. ' British Headquarters in Frarce, Oct. 16.--Perhaps the most striking evidence of the extent of ou¥ recent advance is the fact that our line now is over 5,000 yards due north of that last bit of main ridge to the east of Ginchy, ™ which the enemy for the sake of his last possibility of direet observation was clinging so desper- ately. There, beyond Gueudecourt, we are already practically at the end of the descent on the farther side of the ridge, on the very lowest ground, | that is before the new ascent com- meénces. In one of our recent advances we | captured a German gun with over 500 rounds of 'green cross' gas shells, which they are so fond of us- ing. The gun was in perfect work- ing order, so that she was turned on the enemy. When just as she was firing her first shot in her new direc- tion the artillery officer commanding was lightly wounded by a 'stray slifap nel bullet. that the gun was to go on firing till it had gven the Germans back every round of their ammunition. His or- ders were carried out, and all night long and through the next morning | she went on punctually using up that | ammunition, distributing #t imparti-| ally among the several spots which are known to be full of the enemy. It was late the next afternoon before the job. was done and by that time a great many had been very sick-of their own shells, BY Jw Tidings.

Chantilly, France, from a staff correspondent * of the Assuciated Press, Oct. 16.--""We now have the Germans by the ears, and will "eon- tinue to shake their heads until their brains are addled and they will be compelled to give in." These words were spoken to-day by General Edouard Castelnau chief of staff of all the French armies in the field, to the American and Bri- tish war correspondents.' "The great question at issue," continued General Castelnau, "was whether we should be the slaves of the Germans, We shall not be, we will be on the pattle- field, but we never Shall be their Before beng taken 'back | to the rear his final instructions were A Berlin despatch says: The great | | ------ laves."
