At the same moment a French infantry regiment, advancing along' the Meuse on the right :bank from Houx, at the south of Namu'r, flung itself on the Germans in the town, and, aided by artillery, drove them~ off. Then from 3 o’clock until 6‘ the two armies were engaged in an artillery duel across the town. It was always the Ger-mans who were retiring along the hills to the south of the town and always the French who moved their batteries little by little. Gradually the French drove the Germans southward probably along the road to Hanâ€"Sur-Lesse, pursuing all the time with infantry and chasseurs.” ' victims of the bomb were shattered.

Hooten, of the Montreal Heavy Brigade, who shot and killed Antoine ’ Notter, a French Army reservist, at the drill hall on Friday when he failed to halt at the command of the soldier, will not go to war. He was held criminally responsible {for the deed by the Coroner’s Court. An enorm- ous. crowd jammed every inch of space in‘and around the court, and were examined. many _ witnesses The evidence seemed to show that Notter did not understand a word of English, and had been killed without any idea that he was dis- obeying the order of the sentry. In summing up, Coroner McMahon gre- marked that Hooten had, by his own admission, ordered the man to when he was railway station, covering the platâ€" form with broken glass. No one was injured. ’1‘ ALL SLAIN BY ONE . MAN. .__.... Achievement of a.

The letter says that the Gerâ€" mans, having vfailed in a frontal atâ€" tack, were ‘bringing up artillery, when Lupin, exclaâ€"iming, “Leave them to me,” dashed out and, tak- ing cover behind a wall of the Ger- I man left, enfiladed the crew of the German battery. He shot down in quick succession the chief officer, then the under-ofiicers, and finally the gunners. Confusion ensued among the Germans, who directed their last gun‘ at the wall, {bringing it down and crushing Lupin to death. ‘ V >‘4 GOVERNMENT HELD UP. â€"â€" Animals for the Canadian Contin- gent May Be Ccinuiandccrcd.

Fort Pon-tisse ».and the neighboring forts resisted extreme- ly well the fierce German attack. The Germans have been trying to rush Pontisse by main force, no long-er relying upon siege artillery; They have been unable, however, to get beyond the glacis of the fort, where they have been mowed down by the fire of the defenders. ,The besiegers were provided with bun- dles of wood and mattresses with which to fill up the ditches about the fort, but they were unable to make use of them.. Fort Liers, which is just West of Pontisse, has lentvefficacious assistance to the latter fortification. The object of the Germans obviously is to seize the forts on the left bank of the Mensa, which in the hands of the Belgians would be, terrible weapons against them.‘ On the other hand, these forts in the hands of the Ger- mans would serve as a base for ac- tion directed against the Belgian centre or for defence against the Belgian attack. The attack is de- veloping great fierceness, the Ger- mans being mowed d-own at every attempt to carry the fortifications. Terrible German carnage resulted from the last attack. .34 SOCI‘ALIST LEADER SHOT. Refused to Perform Military Scr- vicc for. Germany. A despatch from London says: The Daily Citizen, organ of the Labor party, says it was learned. from a reliable authority that Dr. Karl Liebkneclit, the German So- cialist leader, has been shot for re- fusing to do military service. The Daily Citizen says that the story was brought to London by a Ger- man refugee, who reported that upon for service. He refused to respond on conscientious grounds, whereupon, accoi‘ding to the story, a detachment of‘soldiers was sent to his residence. He was taken to .the military barracks and court- martialed. After a short trial he was convicted and shot by a pla- toon of infantrymen. It is also re- ported that Rosa Luxemburg, the noted Socialist writer, who declared that soldiers were maltreated in the army, has been shot. It was thought at one time that war and its troubles .might in some way affect the Canadian National- Exhibition; but as' time were on, and the rush of entries became heavier than ever before and the demand for «space nearly doubled ' the supply, while every other dei- partment showed a big increase, it became evident that the Big Fair at Toronto keeps right on going and growing no matter what happens. In so far as the attractions are con- cerned, the splendid bill announced ‘ earlier still Stands, the only change being that the Grenadier Guards Band will necessarily be absent. However, its dates have been filled by the engagement of a number of the best American bands, and there will still be a dozen band concerts daily with the famous Creatore featuring the bill. The Interna- tional Peace-Tattoo, featuring the “100 years of peace between Can- ada and the United States,” is the big patriotic number of a year that promises to run high. in patriotism, while the spectacle _ “Babylon,” with its 1,000 performers and won- derful fireworks effects, should prove a favorite. Another feature of the big bill is the Water Carni- val, with everything from Indian canoe races to flying ships. ’3 4 GERMAN OFFICERS SLAIN. .__â€"â€" Were Making Observations of.
