ah a ary Re A Ry fo extend their lines : Oise on Wednesday met with disastrous failure, tried to get around Pont L'Bygoue by. crossing the Olse in the neigh! of the north- ern-most point of Carlepont Wood, where the small hill, Montalagache, stands out like a bastion, but the French drove them back immediately they left the protection of their lines. The sector between the Oise and the Aisne also found the allies very ac- 'tive. They are determined to hold this and are displaying the greatest energy in improving their positions, at the same time capturing small . batches of prisoners, most of whom show signs of terrible fatigue and privation, : A despatch from the British Army in France, says:--An enemy attack egainst the French in the neighbor- hood of Loere on Wednesday pight met with a repulse, although the Ger- mans apparently succeeded in captur- ing Locre Hospice, which lies just south-east of the village. The operation was a local one, with Locre as its objective. Fispie Ws | apetch 56m the French Army The Hospice whs gainer after hard | pts fighting, Troops to ken by Foe. but when the assaulting troops tried to advance further they came up against such a grilling ma- chine-gun i and artillery fire that they were forced to abandon the at- tempt and fall back to the Hospice, whith at the latest reports, they were still holding. This bit of ground, with the buildings, has changed hands innumerable times within the past few weeks, Locre and the Hospice lie well up on a slope which culminates in the important elevation known as Mont Rouge, to the west. Numerous raids are being attempt- ed by the Germans nlong the British front with the,purpose of taking pri- soners from whom the enemy, per- haps, hopes to learn whether the bat- tle of the Aisne has brought about any change in the disposition of the allied troops. > Several raids - were started last night. They proved costly failures. At 1 o'clock Thursday morning the near Morlancourt. They found the British ready. The Germans were re- pulsed with considerable losses. RHINE CITIES AGAIN BOMBED British Airmen Caused Enor- mous Destruction in Enemy Territory. A despatch from London says: The British official communication dealing with aviation issued on Thursday night says: "Wednesday night our long-distance bombing machines again attacked the Metz-Sablons station triangle and also the railway sidings at Thionville, dropping five tons of bombs with good results, although the visibility was in- different. Thursday morning the rail- way station at Soblenz was heavily at- tacked by us. Good bursts were ob- served -on the railway line. All the machines emerged safely. "The fine weather of Wednesday enabled our airmen to carry out much photographic, reconnaissance and ar- tillery work. Twenty tons of bombs were dropped on different targets, in- cluding dumps and railway billets, the Armentieres and Roye stations and the Zeebrugge seaplane base. "In addition, our long-distance day- bombing machines heavily attacked the railway station and barracks at Treves and the Metz-Sablons railway station, and the railways at Karthaus, returning without loss. "Seven hostile machines and three German observation balloons were shot down during the day by our dir- men, and three hostile airplanes were driven down out of control. Four of our machines are missing. "Wednesday night 18 tons of bombs were dropped by us on the St. Quen- tin, Poesinghe, Cambrai and Armen- tieres stations. All our machines returned." * STEFANSSON TO REACH VICTORIA THIS 'MONTH. "+ A despatch from Ottawa says: Word has been received by the Naval Department from Vilhjalmar Stefans- son, the Arctic explorer, to the effect "that he expects to reach Victoria ear- ly this month. Stefansson reported from Fort Yukon, where he had gone from Herschel Island, on recovering from an attack of typhoid. He and his party were ordered to return to eivilization with their scientific collec- tions, and detailed reports of new discoveries made during their four years in the Arctic. Stefansson in- timates that he 'will probably give a short lecture tour on his return. rms ee fp 457,000 TONS BACON AND HAM REACH BRITAIN FROM AMERICA A despatch from London says:-- John R.

But for some unexplained reason they went in the Sindorm. The Kodingen was sunk about ¥ am., either by a torpedo or a mine when off the Dutch coast. Acounts are incomplete, but the fact that the principal ship of a convoy, on which the British mission, including Home Secretary Cave, would ordinar- ily have been, was apparently torpedo- ed, and that the sailing of these ships and their routes were arranged with the German Admiralty, constitute, when taken in conjunction with what is known of the enemy's methods of warfare, a chain of circumstances urgently demanding explanation. iin lollies Arabs Rail Railway in Egypt Damaging It For Ten Miles.

A despatch from Ottawa says: The Minister. of Finance is giving early attention to the details connected with the next Victory Loan, which it is thought will be issued about October or November next. It is his inten- tion this year to have, if possible, the ery at the time of the flotation, ' so that subscribers upon paying in full at any time may receive their securi- ties. This will do away with an im- mense amount of work connected with the issue and surrender of interim certificates, and will glso greatly econ- omize the clerical labor, which in the last issue was very great. The Victory loan of last fall had to be organized very quickly in order to mest the unexpected . demand for large British credits for the purchase of munitions and foodstuffs in Can- ada. 'This year the problem is known well in advance, and preparations for the issue are already under way. iid BURDEN OF WAR WILL OUTLAST GENERATIONS. A despatch from London says:-- Right Hon. Bonar Law, in the course of his comments on the double in- cofne tax, said that the war was go- ing to leave a financial burden which would outlast many generations. What would have to be considered was how each part of the Empire should bear its own burden, and, having re- gard for the 'immense natural re- sources of the dominions, he thought they would be better able to bear-their | took share than the Mother Country would be able to bear hers. : ° : SUBMARINE USED TORPEDO IN SINKING THIS VESSEL. A despatch from Washington says: The sinking of the British freighter Harpathian, of 2,800 tons, 100 miles off the Virginia Capes, at 9 o'clock on Wednesday, was afinounced on Thurs- day night. The entire crew was res- cued by the steamer Palmer. The submarine used a torpedo. One mem- ber of the British crew was injured. -------- FOCH WISELY BIDING HIS TIME BEFORE USING ALL HIS FORCE A despatch from Paris says: The German losses grow more serious daily, but they are still numerically su; , on the whole front, and may be able to embark upon a new offen~ sive in some other sector, perhaps Montdidier-Noyon. ' The French com- mand is therefore wisely biding its time before putting: forth all its ef- ous fortifications. barricaded the streets and the under- ground defences would make the city very difficult to capture, ; Except for the moral effect, the Germans would gain very little by the capture of Rheims unless they "could drive the French back as far as the important railway junction on the high ground. Since June 8 the Ger- mans have made only, local efforts to capture the crossings of the Oise, - 1Poilus' Pay. Until recently the French soldier's pay was almost a negligible quantity. Nominally, he was supposed to re- ceive one cent a day, but he really got only geven cents in cash every ten days, 8 cents being deducted on each pay day on account of his tobacco ra- tion. Some little while back, however, his rate of pay was increased to 5 cents a day, so that he now draws 60 cents for ten days' soldering. , . A pitifully small sum 4t seenis to us. Nevertheless, the average Poilu is a rare money-spender, the explana- tion being that not one in a hundred, probably, is dependant entirely upon his pay. ¥very French lad knows that he will be called upon to serve in the army in his turn in due course, and eventuality from 'a very early age. The accumulated money, often sup- plemented by the savings of his par- ents, is sent to him in instalments from his home at regular brief inter- vals, and he spends it right royally, 'from his point of view, in wine, cig- ars, extra food, and any amusements that may be going in the way of theatrical or concert parties. » A despatch from the American Army in Picardy says: American ma- rines attacked the Germans at dawn on Thursday morning and gained 3% kilos over a four-kilometre front, and capturing 100 prisoners in the Cha- teay Thierry sector. The at- tacking a the same time on o left, The Americans now hold all the im- portant high ground north-west of Chateau.

The fight started at 8.54 o'clock on Thursday morning, and the Ameri- cans had attained all their objectives by 7.45 o'clock. The Americans have been pressing the Germans so -hard that the enemy has been forced to throw three new divisions of his best troops in the line during the last three days. Soon after the attack of Thursday morning the Americans carried Hill 142 (about two-thirds of a mile south of Torcy), the highest point in this vicinity and swept on and stopped at the foot of a wheat field on the other side, from where they raked the Ger- mans with machine guns. One en- tire enemy machine gun company was almost annihilated. The Germans had donned French uniforms, but the Americans, forewarned, ed vol- leys of fire into them. soldier had 82 wounds.
