The court adjourned shortly before one o’clock this afternoon and sat again at two to deal with eighteen similar charges to those faced by Hartley and Coker. William Goodfellow, conductor on the northern division of the C.P.R., was arrested this morning, charged with defrauding the railway comp- anyiand was bailed out early this afternoon. His case will come up with the others, all the defendant's being expected to elect to be tried by 3 i111?- “Even if we had not been haunted by the thousands of soldiers we had seen leave for the front our boat on the Way over would have made us sure we were living in the middle of war," said Mrs. A.

It is expected that these bags will be purchased as souvenirs for not less than one dollar each. In this way the Canadian people will help in max- ing a worthy contribution in aid of th« people of Belgium, who have of- t‘ored such splendid and heroic resist- ance to the overwhelming forces massed against them. and who have endured such great suffering and hardships in the defence of their country and their liberty. Ottawa. Sept. 1.-â€"The Government has issued an official statement call-' 1m:r the attention of the press ‘to the necessity for preserving secrecy at present as to the sailing of vesselsi from Canadian waters or as to the; movement of (lanadian'troops. A; strong intimation has been receivedj from tne Imperial authorities as to} the importance of silence in these particulars in view 01 serious loss to life or property that might result from notifying the enemy where and when to strike. The Government statement adds: “If the press fail to comply with this official request prompt and ef< fective means will be taken to en- force its observance."

The list of missing may comprise prisoners not wounded and stragglers as well as casualities. Large per centages of officers killed and wounded is due to the fact that they ever scorned to take cover, standing where they could direct the firing of the men. TURKEY AND GREECE WILL FIGHT LONDON, Sept. 2.â€"A St. Petersburg despatch reports a semi-official statement that in well informed circles in St. Pete rsburg the opinion is expressed that war between Turkey and Greece is now only a question of two or three days. Numerous Turkish troops says the de- spatch, have landed on the shores of Asia Minor at Smyrna. SUPERHUMAN EFFORTS LONDON, Sept. 2.â€"-The Times correspondent at DiOppe, France teleghaphed the Main nor- thern theater of the war the German advance appears to continue without slackening its pace It must indeed be an overwearied army that the Germans are bringing towards the forts in Paris. They have made an effort which nearly deserves to be called superhuman. Nothing like it ever before was seen in war. “Yet we may be sure they have not spent themselves in vain." GERMANS CUT UP LONDON, Sept. 2.â€"The correspondent of the Daily Mail at Bouiogne reports that a regi- ment of German infantry has been cut up and almOst completely destroyed by the allies. A body of German troops, he says, was surrounded in two days’ fierce battle, finally ended with the retirement of the Germans who left large numbers of dead and wounded on the field. The losses of the allied armies were heavy. t ~‘ .L; This report was received in London from theuheadqua’rtersfiin Franceuof the ex editionary forces. As regards the men as distinguished from officers it is known that considera le propor- tions of the missing were wounded men who had been sent down country and of whom partic- ulars_were‘no_t available at headquarters. , MARCHING TOWARDS ANTWE RP LONDON, Sept. 2.â€"An Ostend correspondent reports that an extensive movement of Ger- man troops towards the north has been seen from Brussels and it is believed the Germans are going to Antwerp where an investment and bombardment are expected.

GERMANS ANNIHILATED PARIS, Sept. 2.â€"lmmigrants from Crepy-en Valeis, in the department of Oise 23 miles east of Campeigne, report that the Germans were crushed near there and that miles of bodies were lying aroung. A Sergeant, wounded while in the neighborhood of Campaign, declares he witnes- sed the annihilation of an entire German division by the French artiller y. The reports indicate a marked advance of the Germans. Previous reports had them fi ghting atLafera in the depart- ment of Aine, about 70 miles from Paris. Campaine is less than 50 miles from Paris in the de- partment of Oise, which is just north of the department of Seine in which Paris is located. PRESSING ON TO PARIS LONDON, Sept. 2.-â€"The correspondent of the Mail at Boulogne says: “It is quite evi- dent that except on the south, the German forces are pressing on all sides towards Paris. It is reported to-day that a German patrol with a quick firing gun in a motor car and 50 cyclists was in Arras, capital of the department of Pass de Calais, yesterday. FLEW OVER ANTWERP LONDON, Sept. 2.-â€"A despatch from Antwerp reports that another Zeppelin flew over Ant werp last night. It was fusiladed and cannonaded but with what result is not stated in the des- patch. RUSSIAN COMMANDER DEAD LONDON, Sept. 2.--Atelegram from St. Petersburg says: “The passing of Lieut. Gen. San- senoff, who commanded a corps in the Russo-Japanese war. and who, until recently, was chief of the Russian Turkish military districts, is deeply regretted. The above would seem to indicate that Gen. Sansenoff had died although no report had been received here. RUSSIAN DISASTER a... LONDON, Sept. 2.â€"Advices have been received from St. Petersburg to the effect that the Rusian General staff frankly confess to disaster to two army corps including the loss of three Generals. LONDON, Sept. 2.-â€"-A despatch to the Daily News from Rome says: “Besides advancing in East Prusia the Russians are also invading Germany in northern Galicia, their objective be- ing Koenigshutte in Prussian Slesia whence presumably they will march on Berlin via Breslau. EVACUATE THE CAPITAL ROME, Sept. 2.â€"The Gisrn ale D'ltalia publishes a despatch from Vienna saying that the American Government has made arrangements for the evacuation of Lemberg, the capital of Galicia. Amid all the welter of war, the correspondent continues. the British troops produced the great quality of efficiency. The spir- it of itchener apparently provides the whole British expeditionary forces. The transport and commissionaries are all excellent and they have withstood the slaughtering tactics of the German Gen- eral staff with wonderful equanimity. LONDON, Sept. 2.-â€"The Paris correspondent declared that although on the left flank the allied armies have been forced to withdraw, their lines remain intact. At no point has the army suc- ceeded in driving a wedge through the circle which is drawing closer and aroung the capital and gathering its strength as it retires. LONDON, Sept. 2.-â€"Baron Lewis Von Herst, of Cobourg. Germany. was arrested in London to-day on the charge of es- pionage and placed in one of the concentration camps as a pris- oner of war.
