This brings the death list, including Miss Ellen Car- bonnery, of St. John's, Newfoundland, who died from exposure after arriv- ing here, up to 26. Miss Carbonnery was 70 years of age, and was a wealthy owner of a ladies' empeorium in St. John's. She was returning from her semi-annual trip to London with Fall fashions. She had some reputa- tion as a writer and poetess. The body will be sent home for interment.

On re- turning after executing his mission, Bertin saw Boyer's machine in flames. He landed in face of a heavy fire, picked up his comrade and flew back to the French lines with a fragment of a shell in his thigh. The aeroplane was struck in 98 places by bullets and pieces of shells. _ A despatch from London says: "Death by misadventure" is the ver- diet at the inquest held at Shornelifre on Pte.

Smith's leg was caught in a rope with which he was leading the horses, and he lost his balance owing to the horses rearing. He had been studying dor the ministry previous to enlistment.

Captain Main and the officers who remained aboard the steamer while efforts were being made to tow the liner to port were able to save some of their effects before the ship plunged to the _ bottom, 78 miles goath-west of Fastnet, not far from the scene of the attack, taking with her 3,545 bags of mail, much of it originating in neutral countries. There were also 559 receptacles containing gar-eel lyst matter for Canada. v The flooding of 1the forward com- partment, which caused the Hesper- ian to sink so much by the head as to throw the propellers out of the water made the task of taxing the liner to Queenstown impossible in the rough sea. Most of the survivors, passengers and crew, will leave Queenstown to- morrow by special train and boat for Liverpool.

At the declaratiqn of war, the Brit- ish Army comprised 711,500 men, of whom, in Regulars and Reserves, 601,000 were in the British Isles. "Our right column, coming from the north, attacked the strongly-fortified positions at the Dume station, simul- taneously with an attack from our southern column. The Germans were defeated completely. They abandoned their positions, and in retreat threw most of their supplies into the river and allowed natives' to pillage other abandoned stores. In evacuating Dume the enemy set it on fire, making a stand on a hill overlooking the town. This position, which was defended with artillery and machine guns, was carried by assault by one of our offi.. cers and by prisoners." _ "Many of the native German troops surrendered, with their arms and other equipment. A party of these deserters while on their way to our post at Aradmakei encountered a com- pany of Germans, who attempted to bar their way. The deserters defeat- ed the Germans, and also attacked a German post at Sangamelina.

FINE HARBOR AT ZEEBRUGGE IS SHELTER FOR SUBMARINES But the real responsibility for the supply of men rests with the men themselves. To the man without de- pendents the call to service is well- nigh absolute, and it comes to the man with a job with precisely the same urgency as it does to the man without one. Your present job, im- portant as it may be, is as nothing in importance to the one your country has for you. The call comes next to those with others dependent on them, who would suffer if they went. Some men in this position should go, others should not. No one may decide toy any man but himself. But the free- dom of choice which " his carries with it a corresponding responsibility. If no man may say to you, “You ought to go," neither may' You lay But this will not alter the fact that in the past We have not done our full duty, and we are therefore under the greater obligation to respond to the call the Government is now making. Many of the initial difficulties con- nected with the raising of an army have been overcome, and men are now being accepted for overseas service as rapidlras they present themselves for enlistment. Their pay, separation and other allowances commence at once, and they are clothed, equipped and trained with all possible rapidity. Our ideal minimum is 400,000, our real maximum is 161,000. The result of our calculations need not make us down hearted. We are quite entitled to comfort ourselves with the thought that the original forces of the United Kingdom were incomparably superior to ours and that the British Isles were much better supplied than we were with the means, both human and ma- terial, of creating a vast new army. Adding the few thousands we had to begin with to those organized dur- ing the year, the total number of trained and equipped troops is not more than 60,000. Our incompletely trained and equipped troops will num- ber not more than an additional 100,- 000; and that none of our fighting re- sources may be overlooked, we will add a naval force of 1,000, making a total of 161,000. Our population being about one- sixth the population of the United Kingdom, we can readily ascertain the minimum number of men that we should now have available for service if we were doing our full share. In round figures, we should have a force of at least 400,000 men. Turning from the ideal to the real, we may estimate the strength of the Canadian forces as follows:-- military force, of completely trained and equipped soldiers, not less than 500,000. Adding to these the soldiers whielf the United Kingdom now has in the making, in all stages of equip- ment and training, numbering not less than 1,500,000, the total is at least 2,525,000. The figures are ap- proximately only, but they will serve. The United Kingdom entered. the war with a-qtmeid force of not less {5511‘ 2'25,000, and with a military force of at least 200,000.

The seven wonders of the ancient world were the Pyramids of Egypt; the Tomb of the King of Caria; the Temple of Diana at Ephesus; the Walls of Hanging Gardens of Baby- lon; the Colossus of Rhodes; the Ivory and Gold Statue of Jupiter Olympus; the Pharos, or Watch Tower, built at Alexandria by Ptolemy Philadelphus, King of Egypt. Some one thinks the wonders of the world to-day are the Panama Canal, the Aeroplane, the Submarine, Wireless Telegraphy, the Gramophone, the Telephone, and the Airship. Pegoud, who was only 26 years of age, served five years in the French cavalry, fighting in the Morocco cam- paigar. At the outbreak of the present war he joined the aviation corps as a private, but soon gained a sub-lieu- tenant's commission because of his skill and daring. His exploits won him the Military Medal and the Mili- tary Cross. _ A despatch from Paris says: Re- ports of the death of Adolphe Pegoud, the famous aviator, have been official- ly confirmed. The news caused sin- cere sorrow among the French people, who regarded him as a hero. ' Pegoud brought down h German aircraft on July 11. The Home Secretary says that all German women desiring to return to Germany are given facilities for so doing, and that, together with their children, they receive the same police protection as British subjects and similar relief from the guardians of the poor if they are destitute. It is added that access to hospitals on the same terms as Britishers are accorded German women andr children when they are ill. V THE DEATH OF PEGOUD T IS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED A despatch to London says: The Home Secretary has issued a denial of statements published in the United States that German women and ehil.. dren in London are being exposed to the fury of mobs, which are encourd aged by the police whenever they ven- ture out of doors, are prevented from buying food, and are compelled to subsist on what they can beg. Discussing the part Japan has played in the war, the Ambassador said: "We have not ceased to collab- orate with our allies to the extent assigned to us. The world will be as- tonished when it knows what we have done, what we are doing and what we are willing to do. The Russians are nearest to us and we can be most use- ful to them. Rest assured it is the greatest desire 6f Japan to assist every day in the sacred cause of civi- lization." _ DENIES GERMAN WOMEN ARE LEFT TWEOB’S MERCY "I cannot say much about that," the Baron is quoted as saying, in re- ply to a question regarding the Dar- danelles, "for we must not allow our enemies to profit by information about the movements of troops.” A despatch from Paris says'.

W. Fisher, 576 Lansdowne Avenue, Westmount, accompanied by a letter of apprecia- tion from the British War Office. Ther deceased soldier earned the distinction of the Cross by gallantly assisting with a machine gun, in covering the retreat of a battery, and later bring- ing his machine gun into action, un.. der very heavy fire, in order to covette the advance of supports. It was while doing this he was killed. He was only 20 years of age. PARENTS OF WAR HERO GET VICTORIA CROSS "The fighting was almost entirely hand-to-hand and of a severe charac- ter.
