He declared that he had first met Respa in the office of Albert Kaltschmidt in De- troit, and that he was given two suit- cases to take across to Windsor.

Respa, he said, told him to be careful, as the grips con- tained dynamite. He declared that Respa and the woman left in the di- rection of the river, and that a few hours later the explosion followed.

These figures were included in the grand total of British casualties pub- lished earlier in the week. A despatch from London says: British casualties at the Dardanelles up to August 21 were 87,630. The number of killed in that time was 17,608. As far as the Turks are concerned, Lord Kitchener said there was an abundance of evidence of "the pro- cess of demoralization having set in." In Mesopotamia the resistance of the Turks had terminated. TOTAL LOSSES 87,630 AT THE DARDANELLES Lifting the veil of secrecy, he an- nounced that eleven divisions of the new army had reinforced Field Mar.. shal French's force in France, and others would follow quickly. He, too, spoke optimistically of the situation on the‘various fronts, expressing the opinion that "the Germans have shot their bolt" in their offensive against Russia without achieving their object of destroying the Russian army. Kitchener Says 210,000 Men Sent to France Have Been Well Tested. A despatch from London says: Lord Kitchener in the House of Lords read a carefully prepared and opti- mistie speech on military operations. In the course of his address the See- retary of State for War made the in- teresting disclosure that the German attacks with gas, liquid fire and as- phyxiating shells, lacking, as they do now, the element of surprise, have failed in their object, and have lost much of their offensive value owing to the steps taken to counteract them. WEE NEW ARMEES READY 1'0 FEET Italian Mountaineer detachments made raids against the Austrian posi- tions 10,000 feet high at Villa Corna and other peaks in the upper Genova valley. _ Climbing the most difficult ground and glaciers, the Alpines reached the enemy's entrenchinents and partly destroyed them. They re- turned to their own positions without being seriously assailed. Analysis of the explosive bombs being used by the Austrians has revealed the presence of large quantities of prussie acid. It is an open secret that the Italian general staff since the outbreak of hostilities with Austria has expected German aid to the Austrians, hence the Italian military chiefs are prepar- ed for such an event, and it is config dently asserted in military circles here that even if the reinforcements to the Austrians are stronger than reported they will not alter the situation on the Italian front, now so favorable to Italy. Reliable information is to the ef.. feet that Germany is prepared to aid the Austrians, so that a combined cupreme effort on the part of the Teutonic allies is expected on the Italian front. Such an effort, it is believed, is aimed by the central pow- ers at favorably influencing the Bal.. kans. A despatch from Rome says: A general Austrian offensive against the Italians is now looked for as the re- sult of the arrival of considerable German reinforcements. The object of the expected attack will be to check the Italian advance which the Aus- trian troops, unaided, failed to halt.

F _ Stone Barricades Thrown Up by Germans to Keep Fre A despatch from London says: Miss Mary Booth, a relative of the principals of the Booth Line steamers, has succeeded in collecting funds to provide 1,196 motor ambulances, now being used at the front, as a memor- ial of the Lusitania disaster. She is now collecting funds for a hospital for paralyzed and other permanently in.. jured soldiers as a further memorial of the same event. WOMAN RAISES FUNDS FOR 1,196 AMBULANCES A despatch from London says: The principle of compulsion is now ad- mitted on nearly all sides as being necessary within a short time, the speeches of both Premier Asquith and Lord Kitchener being so interpreted. It is believed that compulsion will be held back to try the effect of ap- proaching the men registered on the pink forms, that is, those eligible for service. If this step fails, there will be no alternative to conscription. Naturally, all of these could not be armed and equipped, but Russia could have the pick of them. CONSCRIPTION SURE A good deal of importance is at- tached to the decision of Russia to call to the colors the reserves of the terri- torial army. Should the age limit be fixed at 35 years, this fresh call would mean the possible addition of eight million men to the Russian armies, including the men who had passed through the first line and reserves, and those who heretofore have been exempted as students, or men who are not quite up to the physical stan- dard. 1 To the south of Vilna, toward 'Grodno, the Russians are offering stubborn resistance and have the Ger- mans firmly held. Something of the same kind has happened in the cen- tre; Prince Leopold has been delayed in his advance. Field Marshal von Mackensen has passed his forces through the Pripet marshes and is now in possession of Pinsk. From this point southward the Russians are advancing and have reoccupied a num- ber of villages, but they are not likely to push their advantage much farther, as to do so would make their northern flanks vulnerable. ‘ This General, who began his offen- sive against the Vilna-Dvinsk railway a week ago, has not yet established himself on the line. His cavalry, which did reach it, has been driven back. Nevertheless he has driven the Russians across the Dvina River, north of Dvinsk, placing that city in a rather dangerous position, and has also made some progress north of Vilna. While these Russian victories natur- ally are welcomed in Russia and the allied countries as an evidence that the Russian armies are still able to take the offensive when well supplied with ammunition, there is no inclina- tion to exaggerate their importance. The engagements, however, keep the Austro-Germans busy, and make it imperative to send reinforcements southward which could be used to bet- ter advantage in the north, where operations of much greater moment are being directed by Field Marshal Von 'Hindenburg. " A despatch from London says: Stern battles are being fought all along the eastern front from Riga t0 the Roumanian border, and while the Germans continue to advance slowly in the north and centre, the Russians in the south are repeating their suc- cesses against the Austro-German armies, which are now being driven back across the River Stripe, in Gali- cia, and have been forced to retire westward, north of the Galician fron- tier.

A despatch from Brussels séys: Gen. von Bissing, the Governor-Gem. eral of Belgium, has issued'an order against the' boycotting, blacklisting, insulting or threatening otherwise to injure Germans or persons showing German sympathies or trading with German firms. The maximum penalty for infractions of the order is two years' imprisonment or a fine of 10,- 000 marks ($2,500). The term of im- prisonment can be extended to five, years when disobedience is offered byi several persons in collusion. I BELGIANS FORBIDDEN TO BOYCOTT GERMANS Activity about St. Mihiel, at the l point of the German wedge which has been so stubbornly maintained, is again reported after a long period of calm in this region. It was the French artillery which resumed the contest in this 'sector, and it won an important point in the destruction of the great bridge, a pontoon bridge and three foot bridges over the Meuse. The importance of the success in de, straying these bridges lies in the possibility of cutting off the Germans across the river at Chauvoncourt, the only point at which the enemy has been able to retain a hold' on the west bank of the river south of Verdun. ems Slii3li'f 3mm am *â€" BM flilhffEllf h mm»; SPY The German artillery fire in Charm. .pagt1e has lessened in intensity, the enemy replying only feebly to the French fire. To the east of Charm. pagne, in the region between the Aisne and the Argonne, however, the Germans continued violent cannon- ading. Explosions in tour German ammunition depots were caused by the French artillery on the eastern part of the line. A French aeroplane, aid- ed by concentrated firing from anti- aircraft guns below, caused a German aeroplane to descend suddenly inside the German lines at St. Mihiel. Three infantry attacks were made by the Germans against the bridge- head held by the French at Sapigneul, on the Aisne-Marne Canal, but the French maintained their positions. British men-of-war undertook a bombardment of the German positions in the region of Nieuport, on the Bel- gian coast. The German criiast batter- ies replied, and the French heavy ar- tillery joined with the British ships in the attack. A despatch from Paris says: Ger- man infantry made an attack in the region of Faye, south-west of Per- onne, following the explosion of a mine described in the French com- munique as "very powerful." The French infantryysupported by artil- lery fire, repulsed the attack, aecord- ing to the official statement, and took a number of prisoners. Allied Fire Against German Organi- Rillil%il BEN Il)?

Avoid pastries, cake, fried foods, gravies and sauces. Do not eat 7 be- tween meals. Live in the open air and be active.

Light meats, like chicken, white fish, lean beef; all vegetables except potatoes, parsnips and other starchy kinds; fruits of all kinds except bana-. nas; grains or cereals, except oatmeal and rice; beans and cheese; milk (in small quantity); eggs. Following is a list of nourishing foods which will not produce excess fat: Many foods are very nourishing, but do not produce fat. The two kinds which create fatty tissues are fats of all kinds, like butter, lard, drip- pings (foods cooked in them), and the large group of foods classed as. starches. If eaten in excess starch will be laid up in the body as super- duous or stored fat. Death may occur from any of these numerous complications or it may come in unconsciousness and coma. That is a common termination when idiabetes attacks the young; it is ow- ing to the toxic action on the brain of an excess of acids in the blood. The treatment of diabetes-which, of course, should always be directed by the physieian--is mainly dietary. The object is to exclude as far as pos- sible all carbohydrate foods, that is to say, all those that contain sugar or starch; for starch is changed into su- gar during the process of digestion, That is not so easy as it sounds, for you cannot cut off all starchy food for any length of time without en- dangering life; an all-meat diet, for example, will almost certainly result in diabetic coma and death. The pro- blem of the physician is, therefore, to . reduce the amount of starch as far as he can with safety, and' at the same time to keep up the natient’s sitgengtha- He must also attack the disease it.. self, and try to reduce the sugar ex-- cretion by restoring the power of the body to "burn it up" before it reaches the kidneys:---); Companion.

Neuritis may occur, cataract is a not uncommon complication, and boils and carbuncles are frequent. Such a patient does not bear surgical opera- tions well, and is likely to have bron- chitis, pneumonia, or other affections of the respiratory organs. . The disease occurs commonly in middle life, although it may attack the young-when it is a very serious matter-or the old-when it is usual- ly mild in character and not danger- ous to life. It begins insidiously, and it may be several months, or even years, before the patient feels that his health is failing. His appetite may continue good and he may digest his food well, but he loses weight and tires easily,ynoreover, he suffers from thirst, and "notices that his kidneys are so active that he has to rise two or three times in the night. If he consults a physician, an examination will show that his urine contains more or less sugar. _ There are two diseases called dia- betes. In one there is only an exces- sive excretion by the kidneys; that is called diabetes insipidus. In the other the excretion is not only large, but it contains an abnormal amount of sugar; that is diabetes mellitus. The second disorder is usually under- stood when the word diabetes is used, and it is that which we shall discuss. Foods Which Make No Fat, Cheap Doctoring. HEAL TH Diabetes. ii 1
