- AEROPLANES BOMBARD PALACE: | OF WURTTEMBURG Paris Announces Reprisal for German Raids on London and Other Places A despatch from Paris says: French aviators have bombarded ~ Stuttgart, capital of the Kingdom of Wurttemberg, according to the French official communication. They dropped: about a hundred shells'on the Royal palace and the station. The official report says: "In retaliation for the bombard- _ ments by the Germans of open towns 'and civilian populations of France and England, a group of aeroplanes set out recently to bombard Stuttgart. About a hundred shells were dropped- on the Royal palace and the station." Our aeroplanes, which were cannon- aded at different -- along the line, returned in safety to their base." The point of cearre is not named i the communique. If this was Nan- y, the aviators hada straightaway fight of 135 miles to Stuttgart, "Al- lowing for no detours. The distance from Belfort is a matter of five miles shorter. A statement issued- before the an- nouncement of the attack on Stutt- gart tells of the effective bombard- ment of the railroad station at Con- flans, which is in occupied French ter- ritory on the line between Verdun and Metz, by a ited of seven French air- men. SAVED NANCY FROM SHELLING A French Aviator Single-Handed Puts Six Hostile Air Craft to Flight. A despatch from Paris says: With the exception of an attack by an enemy patrol in Champagne the fight- ing recently has been largely in the hands of the artillery. Cannonading has broken out in Belgium, according to the French official report given out in this city. Artillery fighting has taken place also near Arras, between the Somme and Oise, between the Aisne and the Argonne region, and in Lorraine. One French aeroplane carrying Lieut. Daum, as observer, and aide Garnier, as pilot, attacked and defe ed a fleet of six German battle aero- planes, it was revealed-in a general order. Both French aviators are men- tioned for conspicuous gallantry. The fight took place over Nancy. e French aviators attacked the German machines one by one, preventing them from bombarding the town. When the French machine landed it was riddled with bullets. General Joffre, the French Com- mander-in-Chief, and the allied com- manders on this front--Field Marshal Sir John French and King Albert of Belgium--are developing a new plan of campaign that involves the almost continuous use of artillery on a vast scale along the whole line. ENTRANCE TO TO BALTIC IS MINED BY GERMANS A despatch from Ai Amsterdam says: A Berlin despatch received here says the German Government has announc- ed that aenew mine field will be laid south of the outlet to the Sound and that a pilot service will be established to enable neutral shipping to traverse the danger one. The Sound is the channel between the Danish Island of Seeland and Swe- den which connects the Baltic with the Cattegat and the North Sea. The waterway formerly belonged to the Danish sovereigns, who for many years collected tolls from foreign ves- sels using it. In 1857, however, by a treaty with the commercial nations of Europe, the dues were abolished. - INVALID PRISONERS ~ GO TO SWITZERLAND A despatch from Geneva _ says: Consumptive prisoners to the number of 2,500 will shortly arrive from belli- gerent countries for asylum and treatment in Switzerland under an agreement recently reached between the Swiss Government and those of belligerent nations providing for the eare of invalid prisoners under Swiss guard at the expense of the belliger- @ts The British section of the sick pri- goners will be sent to various places fn Oberland, the French to Leysin and the German to St. Moritz. * MURDERED BY GERMAN. Canadian Spared Life of Hun Who Shot Him in the Back. A despatch from Lethbridge, Alta., gays: That Captain Frank Pett, a Lethbridge officer, with the Tenth Battalion, was intentionally murdered by a wounded German on the field of battle at Ypres is now 'established by d from one of the soldiers with ptain Pett at the famous charge. Captain Pett, in the charge, came across a wounded enemy, who asked him to spare his life, which he did. When he turned to go the German LAMP LANGUAGE. Different Colors at a Military Camp After Sundown. If perchance you are admitted to a military camp after sundown, you will see lamps of various colors shining and twinkling here and there. To the initiated these lamps have a meaning according to their arrangement aul color. Thus, two red lamps suspended ver- tically, one above the other, indicate the position of general headquarters, and not, as the novice might suppose, the situation of the hospital or ambu- lance. Two white lamps, placed, side by side, are the distinguishing mark of the hospital or field ambulance tent or hut. These are not to be confused with the two lamps of the veterinary hos- pital; these are also white lamps, but are Hy one above the other, not side by sid The "thotor-eyeliat or other orderly who arrives at a camp at night with despatches for the officer in command of the line of communication, should know to look out for a green lamp shining beneath a white one. On the other hand, should his errand be to the. headquarters of an army, he will look for a red lamp over a white one. Red lamp over green indicates the headquarters of a division, while a solitary red lamp stands for the head- quarters of a brigade or administra- tive district. Two green lamps hanging side by side will guide you to the headquar- ters of a post, garrison, or base, while a single green lamp will tell you where to find the supply depot. Red lanip on the right, green lamp on the left, mark location of the ammu- nition column; while 'he ordnance de- pot hangs out two red lamps placed tide by side. Red lamp on the right, white lamp on the left inform all and sundry that here is the post-office. A telegraph- office has no lamps of its own, for by night it is always with divisional headquarters. By day lamps are replaced by flags, ranging from the Union Jack of gen- eral headquarters to the diagonally- halved blue-and-yellow flag of the pay-office. a. QUEEN'S HOSPITAL BEST SENT TO EGYPT A despatch from Kingston, Ont., says: Dean J. C. Connell has issued a statement regarding the work of Queen's Stationary Hospital at Cairo, Egypt. The opinion was expressed by the authorities in Egypt that Queen's Hospital was the best equipped that had arrived. It is the only hospital there with a laboratory and expert pathologist. The wards-have been named after prominent Kingston and Queen's donors. There are 480 bed in the hospital, which is situated in| the Abbassia cavalry barracks, built | by Kitchener.

The gar- rison on Monte Coston, the communi- cation says, evacuated the position as the result of an attack by "forces ten times their number." The mountain for some months had presented an awkward wedge in the Italian front, which now has been straightened. Winter snows are already falling in the Alps, rendering still more perilous the work of the Italian and Austrian troops who are engaged in warfare in the mountainous region near the bor- der. _A correspondent of the Gazette the recent bat- tle te possession of the Austrian stropghold on top of Freikofel moun- tain, 9,000 feet high. The attack was made under most difficult conditions. The Austrians had prepared for an assault from the east. Two battalions of Italian Alpine troops made their way around the mountain and attack- ed the Austrians from the rear. To reach the summit they were compelled to. scale the precipitous side of the mountain, clinging to ropes placed in position by mountaineers. The cor- respondent states that the Italians captured 250 Austrians and a large quantity of munitions. PURELY PERSONAL. Interesting Chats ts About. Men and Women of the Day. ; Mr. Ronald McNeill is one of the tallest members in the British House of Commons. It is a toss-up whether he does not beat Mr. Eugene Wason, the giant who represents Clackman- nan. The Tsar is probably the best whist- player to be found on any throne.

British famous actresses always confess to some disappointment. That NEW POSITIONS ARE FAVORABLE Russians Have Formed Firm Front After Retreat From Vilna. A despatch from Petrograd says: Experts with the staff say that the Russians in the course of the fighting during the successful retreat from the Vilna region inflicted terrible loss- es on the enemy, estimates of German casualties in this region running as high as 250,000. The new position on the front is altogether favorable. It extends from Oshmiani south-west- ward along the River Gawla and crosses the line from Molodechno-Lida near the station Gawla, 30 miles east- ward of Lida, which is in the enemy's hands. Further it extends southward 15 miles and westward from Nove Grodok to Milovida and eastward te the Oginski Canal. The Russians are preventing the enemy from turning the Rivers Oljan- ka, Beresina and Dubowka, which at resent are serious obstacles in the direction of Minsk. The Russian suc- cesses at Molodechno, Novo Wilersk and Lebebevo show that they are en- tirely free to devolop offensive opera- tions between the upper Vilna and Eastern Dvina along the railway from Molodechno to Polotzk. Russian officers admit that the new front in the Vilna region is warp and interrupted in places. The region to re east of Lida and south of Molod intersected b a multitude of rivulet ese a embarrassing the German advan necessitating a detour northward, see consequently co-operation between the erman group in the vicinity of Vilna and that near Lida will be difficult The Russians expect that the Germans contemplate a race for crossings of the Beresina River, particularly at Borissov, 38 miles north-east -- of Minsk, where Napoleon came to grief nil The Red Cross hospitals evacuated Vilna in good order.

They were us- ually all too genteel. Of one Bas-! sanio she has remarked: "In the love- scenes he appeared to be taking or- ders for furniture." Although Mr. TRoosevelt's attitude over Germany's outrages against America has been very militant, it is a mistake to describe him as a _fire- eater. There is a notable saying of his to judge him by: "I have always remembered the battle at Santiago, in which I fought; I have always remem- bered the horror and the sadness of war, and I have said to myself it must EXIT ENTERIC, Water and Milk | the Two Sources of Typhoid. The present ,war is remarkable for much that is new, but the exit, or, rather, the non-entry, of the enteric scourge, easily takes pride cf place. The typhcid or enteric germ--the two are the same--breeds among the sew- age and decayed and decomposing animal matter. It is the living part- icle, very minute, and has been identt- fied as a low form of plant life. Typhoid is medically termed a "filth Main disease," because dirt, filth, bad drains, and the like are the soil in which the germ originates, grows and multiplies. It is transferred to us, by drinking or inhalation. It is not "infectious" in the sense that ordinary contact with a patient will be likely to convey it. Lack of care, imperfect disinfection of linen or typhoid matter are the, causes Contaminated water or .milk--the latter especially, as it is. more sus- ceptible of contamination than any- thing else, and is a perfect growing ground of all germs--are the i | Above is shown Crown Prince Hum- bert of Italy in his new uniform as a Boy cars, | Scout, ' ° main sources of typhold infection. But the germ has to bred in "filth" first, Therefore, perfect sanitation and cleanliness in dustbin, milk-jug, ; person, ete., makes it impossible for the germ to originate. Extraordinary precautions have been taken at the front, and the re- 'lt is the exit of enteric, &} counter-attacks of Russian cavalry, that the Germans not only failed to | envelop the Vilna troops, but have been | compelled to break their line and un- dertake separate unconnected engage- ments. At present the Russian dis- position and locations between the railway from Vilna to Baranowitchi, Novo Wilesk and Minsk will evidently compel the enemy to change its move- ment from eastward to northwest- ward, a CONSPIRACY TO CA STRIKE OF "AU STRIANS A despatch from Wheeling, W.
