According to returns already in, 15 people were killed and 32 wounded. The visiting fleet comprised four aeroplanes, both Taubes and Avia- tiks, which flew several times across the city, dropping bombs on each journey. Soldiers in the streets replied with vigorous rifle fire, but the aeroplanes sailed calmly on, One seemed to have been hit, for he turned on his head and descended several hundred feet before right- ing himself, but all got safely away. The bombs fell first on one side and then» on another. No sooner did one aeroplane seem to be departing than another arrived. The whole city cracked with rifle shots and bombs, which threw up dense clouds of black smoke. Buildings and windows were smashed in all directions and tramway lines at one place were cut kitchen of the GERMAN ATTACK CONES 10 GRIER ee re <aamtiots 'Slaughter.

Another fell near the Town Hall, others in the Rues Pierre and Nieu- port, and also near the arsenal. Two fell in the suburbs of Rosen- daal on a jute factory. The dis- tricts of Coudekeque and of Furnes also suffered, and many were wounded there. One child had an arm blown off, while another with an old woman was killed outright, being dreadfully disfigured. The pombs were filled with shrapnel, which pitted the walls and build- ings. A horse in the Rue Nieuport, close to the spot where a bomb fell, was mutilated. British ambulances carried the sufferers to the hospital. Some were dead on, arrival there. The fifth German aeroplane. re- mained as sentry outside the town, taking no part in the raid, but hold- ing itself in readiness to attack any of the allies' aeroplanes seeking to repel the invading fleet.

Own Life to Whole Brigade. Sacrificed Save His An equal heroism inspires all ranks of the French army, from pri- vate to general. In the mathemar tical nature of things, of course, more privates than generals. show themselves heroes. All the more reason then to remark the following act of heroism on the part of a gen- eral of brigade. This general had received orders from the _ highest quarters to advance his men along a certain road which was swept by the enemy's fire. Obedience to these orders would mean the practi- cal annihilation of his brigade, and the general knew it. How was he to reconcile the ne- cessary respect for authority with the desire to spare a fruitless waste of life? He could obey blindly, or wilfully disobey--that to the ordi- nary man would have been the ter- rible alternative, But our general had a Frenchman's keen judgement as well as a soldier's heroism.

Hundreds of armored biplanes, each carrying a _ small cannon and bombs, and numerous monoplanes equipped with bombs 'and steel darts, will be ready to sweep across the German frontier when winter is passed, he said. The monoplanes are intended mainly for scout work, and will make a speed of 120 miles an hour. All the aero- panes will have a cruising radius of 130 miles from the frontiers, said Chapa, and their attack will not be in the form of raids by a few ma- chines as hitherto, but by large di- visions. The aviators to man these machines are now being trained in several large cities for the purpose, he said. re aetna --! - wo A despatch &» the London' Daily Mail from Venice contains a report that a French submarine boat has torpedoed the Austrian Dread- nought \Viribus Unitis at Pola. It js said the hull z uis* of the: Dreadnought ustrian Dreadnought Torpedoed was pierced, but that she succeed- ed in reaching her dock. The. Viri- bus Unitis is of 20,000 tons displace- ment, and has a complement of 1,000 men. She is one of the four ships constituting -the largest type of the Austrian navy. Success for the Russians in a san- guinary engagement on the Rawka River 40 miles south-west of War- saw at Bolimow, where the Ger- mans made a desperate effort .to resume the offensive, is reported in an official communication from the headquarters of Grand Duke Nicho- las. The Germans, according to the Russian statement, moyed for- the Russian artillery, and endea- vored to take by assault the trench- es in front of three villages east of the river, "Our troops," reports, "by an impetuous counter- attack slaughtered with their bayo- nets all of the enemy with the ex- ception of a few, who were made prisoner. In this engagement we captured. German machine guns and inflicted enormous losses on the enemy, who brought into action successively regiments from divers army corps." At Inolodz, on the Pilica 65 miles south of Warsaw, the Russians stormed and occupied some Ger- man trenches. Further south the Germans, aiter a long cannonade, made an infantry assault, which was repulsed by the Russian artil- lery, excepting at one point, where the enemy secured an entrenched position. Later he was dislodged and thrown out of this ground by a Russian counter-attack. i It is unofficially reported from Petrograd that the German prison- ers taken by the Russians during the last fortnight exceed 50,000 in number. ------* IN FORWARDING MAIL. Many Letters Intended for Soldiers Abroad are Insufficiently Prepaid. It is found that a number of let- ters, post-cards, packets and other articles of mail addressed for de- livery in England, and on the Conti- nent; more particularly for mem- bers of the expeditionary force, are received at the General Post-office insufficiently prepaid. Mail matter addressed to Cana- dian soldiers in France or else- where .on the Continent must be fully prepaid at the usual postal union rates, which for letters is five cents for the first ounce, and three cents for each additional ounce. In eases where the senders of letters or newspapers or other articles of mail matter do not know whether the addressee is in England or abroad, the only way in which they can be sure of it being fully pre- paid is to pay the postal union rates on it. This is for the reason that it is impossible to collect any sur- charges placed on an item of mail matter from the addressee if on ac- tive service. All insufficiently prepaid letters, post-cards and packets addressed to the British expeditionary force returned to the senders. As to the rate of postage for par- cels addressed to the soldiers now at Salisbury Plains, or in active service, enquiry should be made at the General Post-office or one of the postal stations. ------_--k___ Made Her Puff.

A laughing crowd had gathered, and the porter said, "Well, did you catch her?' "No," said the traveller, "but, by jingo, I made her puff."' DO Tit For Tat. Here is a good story told by an American.

New Intro- The character of the artillery dis- closed in the war, from the ma- chine gun to the great siege mor- tars, has introduced largely new methods of warfare, and the stra- tegy of the campaigns is a subject gaining rapidly in public interest as people begin to realize how meaningless, although thrilling, isolated engagements are in the present conflict, and that the re- sult is not likely to be settled in any single battle. The subject of strategy in this war is entertaining- ly analyzed for the general under- standing by a high authority im military matters in a series of arti- cles appearing in the Scientific American, and in the special war issue he writes as follows in re- gard to artillery: The big development of this war has been the great improvement in artillery and in the supply service. Indeed, it is well named a machine- made war. Like any other machin- ery the new highly developed types require fewer men, yet accomplish equal or even greater results. Especially is this the case with the German machine gun, or auto- matic rifle, that has been quoted so often in the despatches. It fires the same cartridge as the rifle, but has them mounted in long bands, from which they are fed into the gun. Its fire for short periods at the rate of five shots a second gives it great value in stopping charges or in shooting up any bodies of the enemy that expose. themselves. The Germans have these guns posted so as to cover the ground over which attacks will probably be made. When the signal is received from the observing station that the enemy has reached the danger zone, the gun that covers this part of the front can then turn loose a storm of bullets that will wipe out any troops in its path. Ten men can in this way deliver as much fire with machine guns as can one hundred men with rifles. Besides the advantage in ma- chine guns, the Germans haye so far had an additional advantage in that their 6-inch siege guns could outrange most of the field guns of the French and British. But such equipment wears out rapidly in ser- vice; the bores get worn andi the shooting is inaccurate; guns are captured; many are broken or des- troyed. It is doubtful whether Ger- many can replace this great drain upon her equipment in spite of her great ordnance factories. The al- lies, on the other hand, have not only their own gun works, which are working night and day, but they also are calling on most of the arms and amunition factories of the world to aid in increasing their me- chanical fighting equipment. At present the Germans are counting on their superior equip- ment to enable them to hold back the western allies while Germany and Austria prosecute their cam- paign against Russia. The French and British have had to fight for time to complete the equipment of their armies. France now has near- ly caught up with Germany; Great Britain, though far behind, is stead-| ily gaining. The situation in France seems to point to an early assump- tion cf the aggressive by the French andi British.

MILITARISM HAS RUINED A 'GREAT PEOPLE. 4 The Allies Are Now Fighting for Redemption of Their ' Foes. We Bee One of the strongest arraign- ments of the militarist leaders of Germany published in the United States appeared recently in the Philadelphia Ledger under -the | heading of "Mene, Mene, Tekel Up- harsin." It was as follows: : "The handwriting is on the wall for German militarism; the mighty war empire has been weighed in the balances and found wanting; the vast. superstructure of militarism built at infinite cost is falling be- cause it rested upon a flawed foun- dation. Of all the terrible pages that history has chronicled this is the most awful; that a people who possessed a superlative capacity for abstract thought, for scientific in- vestigation, for music and poetry, for commercial domination and for the domestic arts should have been wrecked on the false assumption of militaristic supremacy propagated by a despotic aristocracy. The peo- ple are not to blame; for the mass of German men and women, gentle, peaceable, thrifty, industrious and ingenious, the world at large has nothing but sympathy. They have been blinded and misled by a einis- ter caste of : War-Crazed Aristocrats, whose prestige and place of power could be upheld only by infecting the nation with their own virus. "And the pity of it is that a mil- lion blameless and useful lives must be sacrificed before these caste de- moniacs can be brought to reason. The great nations of the world are not fighting against the Germans who love to hear Strauss and Wag- ner, who work in the laboratories in the name of science, who study philosophy in the famous universl- ties, who toil in the factories to produce commodities that all men of civilizing commerce, and who walk abroad with their under the lindens in the cool of the is no quarrel; towards that Ger- many there is no animosity. in self-defence, in line with every conclusion of logical thought and by virtue of every instinct and. in- crush Prussian militarism. ever cost, until that dragon erushed.

Arnold White, a promineat wri- ter and former colonial official, has been making a thorough inspection of the training camps for the pur- pose of detecting any scandals and mismanagement. Having been a bitter enemy of the Government, his point of view was not prejudiced in its favor, He writes: : "Having visited 36 camps in vari- oughly cheered .

DANGER IN FLY POISON. Move on Foot to Prohibit Their Menufacture. Because of the large and increas- 'ing number of cases where children jhave been poisoned by various fly | poisons, a determined effort is be- 'ing made by a number of medical associations. and other sources in- terested-in the health of children to prohibit. the manufacture and sale of-such products. ) In less than three months during the summer 'of. 1913, forty-seven eases of children being poisoned were reported in the newspapers of eighteen American states. Of these quite a number proved fatal, and many. others were expected to die. ' The danger to children in the use of fly poisons, lies in the fact that practically .all of them contain arsenic in a sufficient quantity to cause death or very serious illness, even when but a little of the pre- paration is swallowed by the child. Children are particularly attract- ed to fiy poisons because of the fact that it is customary to mix sugar with the poison in order to attract the flies. There were undoubtedly a great many cases of children being poi- soned in this way which did not come to public attention, especially because of the fact that the symp- toms of arsenical poisoning in chil- dren are almost identical with the symptoms of cholera infantum. This deadly infantile disease pre- vails during the fly season and the doctors state that it is practically whether deep soul of Germany revealed it- self when the wheels of the ruthless machine rolled over Belgium and left its ghastly trail of crushed and rent humanity; or when the chaste and rich beauty of Rheims Cathe- dral, that symphony in stone, was battered to dust; or when the rules of civilized warfare were abandon- ed and quiet British seaside resorts and holy shrines were shelled with- out the prescribed notice. These were the deeds of A Blood-Drunk Caste, that by a pseudo-patriotism had harnessed a noble race to its char- jot. The same nations of the world cannot, must not, halt until the mil- itaristic ogre is shorn of its power m. and the real soul of Germany is re- stored to its rights.

The authorities in South Africa have already taken steps to regu- late and ultimately eliminate the sale of fly poisons, and it is hoped by the opponents of these prepara- tions to secure prohibitory legisla- tion in the various states. at an early date. In the meantime, parents having small childern are particularly cau- tioned against the use of fly poison of any kind in locations where it is within reach of the children, upon unbending lines of steel, mar- tyrs to the glorification of Mars. Slowly but irresistibly that inflex- ible line is closing in upon the deci- mated ranks of the deluded. And all because the blood-drunk mili- tarists are too proud and too fear- ful of their feudal tenure to ac- knowledge that the fighting machine has failed.

A despatch from London says: The Daily Chronicle's correspond- ent at- Basel quotes reports Geneva of serious internal troubles in Austria and Hungary. A crowd made a demonstration in ' Vienna, according to these reports, in fayor of peace and denouncing the war. Women shouted "Give us back our husbands and sons." The police charged the demonstrators in the Pratersprasse, where they were threatening the official buildings, and wounded thirty of the manifest- Pants. Several others were arrest- ed and are being court-martialed. "Since the Servian victory,' the correspondent says, '"'not a day passes in Budapest without disturb- ance.
