A despatch from Berlin a Simons, 'the Foreign Secretary, speak- before the Foreign Affairs Com- of the Reichstag, declared that ri the event the Entente contemplated the « satch of troops: .through Ger- many for the aid of Poland, Germany 'would vigorously protest. + A note on the attitude of Germany in the Russian-Polish crisis was pre- sented at Paris on Wednesday. The German declaration of neutrality in "this crisis, said the Minister, was proof that the country was at peace with both Russia and Poland and could not FATE OF GALLANT MEN KNOWN AT LAST War Mystery Solved by Dis- covery at Gallipoli. A despatch from London says:--One of the mysteries of the war, the fate of part of a battalion of an English Territorial regiment, the Fifth Nor- folks, in the fighting at Sulva Bay, Gallipoli, has at last been solved. Sir Ian Hamilton, in his despatch on the fighting around Anafart~ on August 12, 1915, referred to the fate of the battalion as a very mysterious thing. On the night of the attack they found themselves less strenuously op- posed than the rest of the brigade and, under Colonel Sir H. Beauchamp, the men eagerly pressed forward. Some + were wounded or exhausted and found their way back to camp. "But the Colonel, with 16 officers and 250 men," continued Hamilton's despatch, "still kept pushing on, driv- ing the enemy before them. Among these ardent souls was part of a fine company enlisted from the King's Bandringham estates. Nothing more was ever seen or seard of any of them. They charged into the forest and were lost to sight-and sound. Not one of them ever came back." : The. forest into which: the battalion gallantly charged was mever retaken by British troops. A few men who fell into the hands of the Turks, it was afterwards found, had fallen out of the attack earlier, and not a man of Col. Beauchamp's force was made prisoner. Rev. C. 8S. Edwards has just return- ed from a visit to the peninsula on graves regigtration work. He says that on going over Anafarta Plains he found skeletons of the men of the Fourth and Fifth Norfolks, the Fifth Buffolks and the Fourth Hampshires over a mile in front of what was after- wards the first-line trench. Apparently the battalions had ad- vanced in perfect order and to all ap- pearances had been caught by ma- chine-gun fire. One man had taken, cover behind a stone, and a large pile] of empty cartridge cases round his skeleton showed he had defended him- self to the last. Just behind the Nor- folk front line Mr. Edwards came across the remains of about fifty men who had fallen in a grim hand-to-hand struggle. Touching each other lay the bodies of Britons and Turks, the heads of the latter facing the sea and those of the attackers toward their adversaries' lines. sme cian Live Stock For Prince's Alberta Ranch A despatch from Montreal says: -- Live stock for the Prince of Wales' ranch in Alberta have arrived in Montreal on the Montcalm. The ship- ment congisted of eight fillies, eleven Dartmoor ponies, eléyen colts and two pens of Suffolk chickens. These ani- mals and fowls are being shipped to the West on a special car, in which running water and electricity have been installed. They are in charge «of the foreman of the ranch. It is stated that a number of tows will be sent from England in October. ----e ptt Greeks Repulse Turks in Thrace A despatch from Athens says:--An official communication, issued by the Greek army in Thrace, states 'hat at- tempts made by the enemy to shell the bridges on the Maritza road were neffestige sul bombs were dropped from G airplanes on the enemies batteries at Lulu Brugas, An attack on the Greek right wing, in the Kara- gash section, was repulsed. assist in the 'the aid of Poland, - R 'Germany, continued Dr. Simons, would protect her frontiers against the troops of both belligerents, and any forces violating this order would be disarmed. : Vorwaerts says that Germany is Te-| inforcing her troops on the frontier by local defence troops and intends to guard the frontiers of the plebiscite areas with German troops to obviate the possibility of a conflict between French and Russian troops, which might bring the war to German soil. {POLAND TO RECEIVE MILITARY AID 7 Na Allies Arrange for Prompt | Check to Bolsheviki Plans. A despatch from Paris says:--The allies have decided to take measures preparatory to giving military aid to Poland, if that should prove necessary. A French mission headed by Jules J. Jusserand, French Ambassador to the United States who is home on leave, with General Weygand, right- hand man of Marshal Foch, and M. Vignon, a close collaborator with Pre- mier Millerand, left on Thursday night for Warsaw to arrange for prompt succor to the Poles. On the same train and with the same object there was a British mis- sion headed by Lord D'Abernon, Bri- tish Ambassador at 'Berlin, General Radcliffe and Sir Maurice Hankey. These, missions, it is learned, leave with full authority to say to the Poles that whatever aid is necessary, either military or financial, or in the nature of supplies, will be forthcoming if the Bolshevists persist in a design to march into distinctively Polish terri- tory. 1t is stated unofficially, but on high authority, that this means help for Poland in the form of troops if they are required. Already a large number of allied officers and subalterns are with the Polish army, which, it is declared, will be increased according to circum- stances with as many divisions, of in- fantry, tank detachments, air forceg and artillery as may be transported in due time. siemens Eurepe Getting to its Feet. During the war it was often hard to tell from the articles in the news- papers. what the precise truth about the military situation was, To-day it is almost as difficult to tell what is the precise situation financially and industrially in France, in Germany and in Italy. Correspondents are hopeful or depressed 'according to their temperaments, to the course of their information, or to the effect they wish to produce on their readers, There is still propaganda, commercial and political, mixed with the impartial and conscientious news that some report- ers send across tHe ocean, and it is often hard to separate the trustworthy from the disingenuous. But it is clear enough that Western Europe is getting to work again, It is recovering from the condition of shocked and dazed suffering into which the war plunged it. The only question is whether the burden of war debt laid upon 'the shoulders of the people is too great to be successfully borne, even by willing and thrifty workers, The best opinion is that it is not. If Western Europe does not fall again into the chaos of war, it will- gradually work its way back to solvency and prosperity. The weak spot is Germany, for the morale as well as the resources of Germany, has been sadly weakened. And yet in Ger-] maiy it is political rather than busi- ness incapacity that menaces the state. The present government is timid and ineffectual; yet any other would be still more dangerous, for the radical -Socialists would inevitably swing Germany nearer the fatal policy' of the Bolgheviki, and the monarchists 'would restore a Germany that no-one else could trust, ~~ France is hard at work and doing nobly. Although half of its men be- tween the ages of twenty and forty are gone, it is repairing the losses and ravages of war and beginning to cut a figure again in international business.
