" ' .- I" C i A despatch from London says: The Official Press Bureau announced that a telegram had been reecived from [the Governor-General of Nigeria re- porting that Garua, in the northern part of the Cameroons, surrendered unconditionally to Anglo-French forces under Col. Gunliffe. A despatch from Paris says: Of the allies fighting against the Austro- German block, it is certainly the French who, in proportion to their population, have thus far made the greatest effort. After nine months of war the French army is more redoubt- able than at any time heretofore. The troops have passed a hard appren- ticeship in war; they are well equip- ped and their morale is in general ex- cellent. Tools, artillery, war material and provisions have been massed in unbelievable quantities. Defenders Repulsed Previous Attack, But Have Now Yielded Without Fight. The Germans' great fault has been their seven months' stagnation on the banks of the Aisne and the Yser. Af- ter the defeat of the Marne they should have tempted fate again at all costs. They preferred to entrench themselves in their mole hills and wait for some vague favor of destiny. Surrenders To British A despatch from London says: A Copenhagen despatch to the Daily Mail says that five Zeppelins of the newest type left Schleswig and flew toward the North Sea. Joffre Has now in Hand the Host Formidable War ' _ Machine Ever Existed. 4,500,000 CALLED TO THE COLORS There are signs that the Germans are developing great activity north of the Pilica, in Poland, towards the Niemen, with heavy artillery and a chemical laboratory, in the hope of drawing the main Russian strength there. The latest Russian success has been achieved solely with bullet and bayonet. Scarcely a shell has been fired in the last fortnight. The stra- tegy is regarded as a triumphant vin.. dication of Gen. Ivanoff. The Germans are now entirely southward of thetniester. Evidently "ther-intended to develop in enormous force here. They were headed by Prussian Guards, and advanced rapid- ly towards Halicz, from where they proposed to conduct the main attack on Lemberg. All the movement, how- ever, was easily frustrated. The Ger- mans are now gathering south of the Dniester, apparently waiting for re- inforcements: They have lost in the past six weeks more lives in Galicia than in the previous six months against Russia. Everywhere the Rus- sians are in close, contact.with the enemy. Five New Zeppelins Fly Over the North Sea A despatch from Petrograd says: Russian infantry with surprising ease has indieted a succession of great de- feats on the~Germans in East Galicia. The main attack of the enemy was conducted at Moszick with heavy guns on the railways, but it was spent before the Germans reached the barb- ed wire entanglements in front of the main position. They retreated in ut- most disorder, leaving thousands of dead. Simultaneously the Russians start- ed an enveloping movement against Gen. Linsingen's army which had crossed the Dniester River. The Rus- sian infantry with magnificent dash attacked the Germans, who had a quantity of three-ineh guns, and drove them from the woods. They annihi- lated one division and captured be- sides 261 officers, 9,300 men, 17 field guns and-49 machine guns. The fight- ingilasted two days. Russian Infantry Defeated Germans in Galicia with Surprising Ease. LEMBEBG SAVED FROM THE ENEMY “Two comrades of the Royal Flying Corps had a most adventurous flight while performing a reconnaissance about 20 miles from the front. They were attacked by several German avi- ators, and during the engagement the British pilot was shot through the jaw and neck. At first he collapsed and lost control of the aeroplane, but quickly recovered sufficiently to right A despatch from London says: An- other extraordinary adventure of two British aviators is recounted in the following "eye-witness" narrative: Made Successful Reconnaissance Under Fire by Numerous Hostile Craft. "ik Of Two British Airmen The attack on Garua was com- menced on May. 31. Garua was an important German station on the Benue River. The first British attack on the station was made on August 29 last, soon after the beginning of the war. This attack was repulsed. Since that time the post had been consider- ably strengthened. These seven months have allowed the French, and also the British, to perfect their armament and to drill their new units. The eommander-irr. chief of the Franco-British armies has now in hand the most formidable war machine that has ever existed. Certainly the French have suffered losses, which, if smaller than those of the Germans, are yet heavy. Since the start of the campaign about 1,- 300,000 French have been put hors de combat. Of these there have been about 360,000 killed and 230,000 pri- soners or missing. Of the total French loss of 1,300,- 000, about 180,000 have been dropped out, either for wounds causing perma- nent infirmity or for serious illness. From 300,000 to 400,000 men cured of wounds or illness have returned to their places in the ranks. Cholera microbes are destroyed, the doctor says, by other microbes that develop during the process of the de- composition of bodies in the open air. This and other reasons, according to Dr. Legroux, removes all danger of cholera from decomposing bodies. A despatch from Paris says: Dr. Louis Legroux, of the Pasteur Insti- tute, has made the declaration that neither soldiers nor civilians in France need have any fear of the cholera. Shells from the Italians Cause “In- vulnerable" Fort to Disap- pear in Clouds. The Rome correspondent of the Daily Mail telegraphs: - A Gorfizia, one of the Austrians' most srongly fortified frontier points, is being heavily bombarded by the Italians from three sides. The Sagra- do dike on the lower Isonzo has been destroyed by the Italians. Its de- struction resulted in the flooding of the surrounding area almost to the coast. There has been severe fighting in the Trehtino in an attack on the fort called Il Padre Eterno, owing to its reputed invulnerability. The garri- son held out until, as an eye-witness says, the fort disappeared in the clouds. Trees around the fort could be seen thrown into the air, and it rained rocks. The fort replied all through a day and night, falling only at dawn. No Fear of Cholera, The Austrian salient of Plava (8 miles north of Gorizia on the rail- road), which the Italians have cap- tuted, was shelled for some time by the Italians in their effort to cross the Isonzo at that point, and it was finally carried at the point of the bayonet. Above Tolmino a regiment of Ber- sagleri covered itself with glory. It warisolated on the eastern bank when the enemy destroyed three pontoon bridges over which supporting troops were to cross the river. Instead of waiting to be attacked, the Bersagleri flung themselves against the foremost trenches, making it impossible for the enemy to employ his guns against them. The Bersagleri held almost all the trenches until the pontoon bridges were reconstructed. For this action Col. de Rossi, who was in command, was decorated to the rank of major-general. the machine. Then began a running fight in which our men were fired at by a succession of hostile aeroplanes. The pilot gradually became weaker and weaker through loss of blood, and at last was scarcely conscious of what he was doing. His companion mean- while handed him bandages and help- ed bind the wound, which was a dan- gerous one. Despite these handicaps the observer did not fail to take notes, performing a complete reconnaissance. -. "In the-end on} men escaped from the German pursuers and landed safely with valuable information." HEAVY FIGHTING IN THE TBENTIND French Doctor Says In the forefront of the struggles were the Alpinists, whose splendid re- cord already in this war has shed fresh glory on the military annals of Successful operations announced by General Cadorna in three sectors of the war theatre have a definite value to the invading army. On the Tyrol- Trentino front the Italians, thanks to the latest victorious achievements, now occupy the principal dominating positions everywhere. The Italians have steadily maintained a forward movement. At Cortina d'Ampezzo, one of the most northerly points in the Trentino sector, our allies have repulsed the Austrians who opposed their passage into the heart of the country. The roads leading from Fal- zarego to the valley of Drava are now commanded by the invaders. Very se- vere fighting preceded the driving out of the Austrians from unusually strong positions. "Enemy forces comprising six bat- talions, coming from Plezo (in Aus- tria, 89 miles north-west of Gorizia) attempted, according to statements made by prisoners, to take our troops in the region of Montenero in the rear. The attempt was frustrated by the energetic resistance and rapid manoeuvring of the bersagliere and Alpine troops. "We are now solidly established in the city of Gradisca, which has been held by our advanced troops for some days." "Some progress has been made at different points along the front. A reconnaissance party beyond Monte- nero found in the gorges recently ex- plored by our fire the wreckage of rifles and machine guns abandoned by the enemy, and the bodies of forty Austrians. A despatch from Rome says: An official statement made at the main headquarters of the Italian army says that the Italians are now solidly es- tablished in the Austrian city of Gradisca, which, it is stated, has been held by the Italian advanced troops for some days. The full statement, which is signed by Lieut.-General Count Cadorna, chief of staff of the Italian army, follows: Successful Operations on All Three Fronts Against Austrians Have Been Made. Two features of the note, while in no wise modifying the demand for as- surances as to the future, hold the door open to Germany for a possible alteration of her submarine pro- gramme. One of these is the Presi- dent's invitation to Germany to sub- mit any "convincing evidence" in its possession that the United States ofticials failed to perform their duties in examining the Lusitania before she sailed. The other is the President's offer to convey to Great Britain or Germany any intimation or sugges- tion either Government may be will- A despatch from Washington says: President Wilson called upon Ger- many for an expression as to whether or not she intends to abide by the principles of international law as re- gards American lives. and American ships. He has- asked in effect for a prompt response, and on the reply to this question probably will depend whether or not the cordial relations between the two Governments are to continue. This demand is regarded by official Washington as the crux of the note which President Wilson despatch- ed to Germany. All other points in the communication were intended to be subordinate and incidental to this. GBADISGA FALLS TO THE ITALIANS President Wilson Notifies Kaiser That Laws Must be Respected.

In Eastern Galicia and Bukowina, however, the Russians are falling back between the Pruth and Dniester rivers with the intention, it is believed here, of making the Dniester their line of defence from the Roumanian frontier to the south-east of Peremysl. They have very strong positions along this line, and military experts say that if they can drive back the Germans who crossed the river near Zurawna, Lem- berg will remain in their hands, and they will be in a position to deliver a vigorous offensive, at any rate as soon as the Austrians and Germans begin to withdraw troops for their western and southern campaigns. More important, in the belief of military observers here, is the appar- ent change that is taking place in the Galician battle. Here again, accord- ing to the German account, the Rus- sians are advancing to the south and south-east of Lemberg, and also are attacking Gen. Linsingen's force which crossed the Dniester near Zur- awna. First Figure: Are you a, pillar of the church? Second Figure: No, I'm a flying buttress--I support it from the outside. A despatch from London says: Russian reinforcements arrived in the Baltic provinces and in Galicia, and it became their turn to attack. Accord- ing to the German official report, part of the German force on the Dubyssa River, in the Baltic provinces, threa- tened by an encircling movement, were obliged to withdraw, although in the region of Shavli and on the Nie- men they claim to be making pro- gress, despite a stubborn Russian re- sistance. .

BUSSIANS TAKE THE EFFENSIVE "“The Government of the United States deems it reasonable to expect that the Imperial German Govern- ment will adopt the measures neces- sary to put these principles (those of international law) into practice in re- spect to the safeguarding of American ships, and asks for assurances that this will be done." The kernel of the President's note to Germany is found in this conclud- iryttsenttee: This latter proposal is in answer to the reference in the German note to the efforts already made by the United States to bring about a modi- fication of Germany's submarine pro- gramme through obtaining Great Bri- tain's consent to importations of food cargoes into Germany for the civil population. This effort on the part of the United States came to naught, and instead of acting upon Germany's intimation that it might be renewed, the President now lays upon the Kai- ser and his advisers the responsibility of making any proposals to Great Britain.

J, Warneford, the young Canadian avia- tor in the service of the British navy, who destroyed a German Zeppelin from his monoplane while the airship was flying over Belgium, has been given the Cross of the Legion of Ho- nor for his exploit, on the recommen- dation of General Joffre, commander- in-chief of the French forces. Relatives of Lieut. Warneford, V.C., who single-handed destroyed a Zeppe- lin in Belgium, have been discovered in New Brunswick. Rev. Mr. Warne- ford, of Johnston, N.B., is a cousin, and Dr. P. H.

A despatch from Paris says: In retaliation for the bombardment by the Germans of French and English towns a squadron of 23 aeroplanes made a raid Monday morning on the city of Karlsruhe, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Baden, located on the Rhine, 75 miles from the French fron-, tier. The squadron started at three" o'clock and, although caught by a north-east wind, arrived over Earls. ruhe between 5.50 and 6.20 o’clock. The French War Office report says: "The aeroplanes dropped 130 proiee. tiles of 90 and 155 calibre on the ob- jects which had been indicated to them, particularly the chateau, an arms manufactory and the station. A great number of fires broke out dur- ing the time the aeroplanes were fe- ing over Karlsruhe. A serious panic was observed in the station, from which trains departed hastily, pro- ceeding in an easterly direction. The machines were subjected to a violent gun fire, particularly on their outer trip, at Saverne (Zabern), Strassburg, Rastatt and Karlsruhe, and on their return at Blamont, Phalsbourg (Pfalzbourg) and Saverne. All-,of them returned except two." ' According to German official re- ports, 11 citizens were killed and 6 injured by bombs. One aircraft was brought down by a military airman, and the occupants were killed, and an- other aircraft was obliged to land near Schirmeek. A desipatchfrom Ottawa says: The Militia Department was advised Thursday of the safe arrival of the Grampian at an English port. She carried 1,038 officers and men from the 48th battalion of Winnipeg, 500 from Winnipeg and Brandon, rein, forcements to the 79th, and a party oi 33 doctors.
