iw â€"~MUTINY AT ALIEN DETENTION CAMP A despatch from Paris says: A handâ€"toâ€"hand fight with grenades in the eastern part of the Labyrinth along with a violent cannonade north of Souchez are the only features of the fighting north of Arras mentioned in an official communique. â€" French troops made further progress between Angres and Souchez, and a German attack in the Labyrinth was repulsed. In the course of the counterâ€"attack delivered by Joffre‘s forces in the region of Ban de Sapt four mitrailâ€" leuses and a great quantity of war material was captured, including rifies, cartridges and grenades. TO DETECT PRESENCE OF UNDERWATER CRAFT On the greater part of the front artillery duels and the explosion of mines have occupied the past 24 hours. At the Calonne trench, in the heights of the Meuse, the Gerâ€" mans made a desperate effort to reâ€" gain their second line of trenches, now in French hands, but were twice repulsed. The attack was of great violence, accompanied by the hurling of asâ€" phyxiating bombs and burning liquid. After succeeding in penetrating into part of their former second line, which the French now occupy, they were driven out by a vigorous counâ€" terâ€"attack. A despatch from London says: The question of whether there exists any scientific method ofâ€"detecting the preâ€" sence of a submerged submarine, which was raised during the Lusitania enquiry, is now engaging the attenâ€" tion of the Admiralty. Certain valuâ€" able suggestions have been made by a prominent Canadian to Mr. Donald MacMaster, K.C., who representd the Dominion Government at the enquiry, and Mr. MacMaster has submitted these to the Admiralty and to Lord Mersey, and the latter has promised to give every encouragement to any experiments in the direction of setâ€" tling the question. A despatch from â€" London says: According to Swiss despatches, 200,â€" 000 Prussian, Bavarian and Austrian troops in Galicia have been sent back to their homes terribly exhausted by their long fighting in the burning sun. Army doctors say that two months‘ rest is imperative. Fresh troops have gone to replace them. Exhausted Troops to bs Reâ€"placed by Men Drawn From Newlyâ€"trained Units of Landsturm. FRENCH CAPTURE ENEMY GANNON A despatch from London says: The Norwegian steamer Bergensfjord, together with Dr. Bernhard Dernâ€" burg, has been released by the British authorities. Great Quantities of War Material Also Fall Into Their C Hands. SHIP WITH DERNBURCG RELEASED BY BRITAIN. The Bergensfjord was detained at Kirkwall, Scotland. Dr. Dernburg earries a British safe conduct. GERMAN SOLDIERS ARE EXHAUSTED A despatch from Amherst, N.S., says: During an outbreak at the alien enemy internment camp _ near Amherst, one of the prisoners, Fritz Clause, a German, was shot dead, and four others, also said to be Gerâ€" mans, were seriously wounded. A rumor was abroad during the day that the shooting occurred when a squad of German prisoners attempted to escape. The following version A despatch from London says: In the course of an interview Mr. John Redmond stated that the German Government recently sent Sir Roger Casement to a concentration camp to SIEGES OF PEREMYSL AND LEMBERCG August 26, 1914â€"Russian armies attack Lemberg.

Germany will be able to _ place 750,000 new men in the field by the end of July. These consist of landâ€" sturm and inland reserves, but it is figured that they will not exceed in number those who must be sent home from the eastern front to recover from the hardships of the Galician campaign. A despatch from London says: Now that the agitation for munitions is at its height, England is going to take a stock of her resources. A bill providing for "the register of nationâ€" al resources" is to be introduced in the House of Commons by Walter Hume Long, presidé it. of the Local Government Board, according to anâ€" nouncement made by William Hayes Fisher, Unionist member for Fulham. Just what will be the scope of the inâ€" ventory, and whether it will include men as well as supplies, has not been made known. These figures, together with statisâ€" tics issued by other Ministries, indiâ€" cate continuous improvement in the industrial and commercial situation in France since the opening of the war. BRITAIN TO REGISTER THE e t NATIONAL RESOURCES. POPE IS HORRIFIED A despatch ~from â€" London says: Discussing the Vatican and the war, the Morning Post says the Pope has expressed his horror at some of the more atrocious crimes, but in regard to what many Catholics believe to have been the supreme and original iniquity the Pope remains silent. For two generations Germany has been taught to believe in the justice not only of the present war, but of all war. FRENCH UNEMPLOYED ABOUT 10 PER CENT. A despatch from Paris says: The Ministry of Labor has completed an enquiry into the effects of the war upon employment. In 27,610 indusâ€" trial and commercial concerns, with 1,097,000 employes in ordinary times, it was found that 65 per cent. were fully employed in the month of April. The remaining 35 per cent. does not represent the actual unemployment because 24 per cent. of the total numâ€" ber prior to the war is now with the colors; so that actually only 11 per cent., including both sexes, were unâ€" employed during April, as compared with 17 per cent. in January, 32 per cent. in October and 42 per cent. in August. â€"= A despatch from London says: The supplementary naval estimate, proâ€" vides for the addition of another 50,â€" 000 officers and men to the navy. STRENGTH OF THE NAVY INCREASED BY 50,000 This would bring the total personâ€" nel for this year up to 300,000 offiâ€" cers and men.

The men not only refused to listen to his disloyal remarks, but mobbed the traitor, who was rescued with diffiâ€" culty by the guards. ‘"While the prisoners of war in the detention camp were being conducted to the compound for physical exerâ€" cise, one of them, Fritz Clause, asâ€" saulted one of the interrment police, knocking him insensible. The camp police with the guard was called out to quell the mutiny and in the meanâ€" time the originator of the trouble was shot dead, and four of the other prisoners were seriously wounded." was obtained from a _ competent source: BY WAR ATROCITIES. A despatch from London says: The storm centre of the Galician battle front has shifted from the region of Lemberg to the line of the Dniester, southâ€"east of the capital, and fighting of great intensity is going on along the river between Zurawna and Halâ€" icz. The German army of Gen. von Linsingen has been compelled to reâ€" treat south of the river as the result of fierce Russian attacks. This reâ€" verse is admitted by Berlin, though Vienna claims, that the progress of the Austrian troops has not been inâ€" terrupted, and that the forces of Gen. Boechmâ€"Ermolli are working southward from Lemberg to join those of Gen. von Linsingen. . "‘The first movement of the Gerâ€" mans after. occupying Lemberg was to attempt an advance southâ€"eastward along the Lembergâ€"Beregane railway with the object of cutting off the Russian forces operating on the Dniester. This advance so far has been checked, and on the Dniester itself the Russians are displaying great energy. A large force of Gerâ€" mans who crossed the river near Zurâ€" awna has been jammed on to the bank and on islands. They have suffered enormous losses. Furtherâ€"east, near Halicz, a very mixed forcee of Ausâ€" trians has been thrown back to the river. In these engagements the Rusâ€" sian light and heavy artillery gave effective support. RUSSIANS WIN DNIESTER LNE Force the Austroâ€"Germans Out of Their Positions on the River. The Petrograd correspondent of the Daily Chronicle thus summarizes the situation. * *â€" SEâ€" ATTACHE AT HAGUE INVITED TO LEAVE A despatch from London says: The Daily Mail‘s correspos@ent at The Hague telegraphs that he learns from a trustworthy source that Col. Ostertag, the German military atâ€" tache at The Hague, and formerly atâ€" tache at London, whose ~sudden deâ€" parture from the Dutch capital a few days ago occasioned surprise in diplomatic circles, was practically reâ€" quested to leave by the Netherlands Government. & "Col. Ostertag," the correspondent says, "nominally attache here since early in the war, is said to be in realâ€" ity one of the most efficient and useâ€" ful leaders of the German intelligence department, and is said to have kept an active watch on all lines of comâ€" munication between Holland and Engâ€" land, and betweenâ€" Holland _ and America. He latterly has become much interested in Dutch military operations, and in the disposition of the Dutch troops on the Belgian frontâ€" ier. His efforts to obtain information and the methods he has pursued, it is stated, finally attracted the attenâ€" tion of the Dutch Government, which intimated its strong disapproval to the German Foreign Office. German Diplomat Too Active in Espionage to Please the Dutch. & "Col. Ostertag left on 24 hours‘ noâ€" tice, and is now at Ghent. Soon after his arrival there, nine civilians were summarily courtmartialed and shot on a charge of transmitting military information to the frontier." A despatch from London says: The Government has decided to allow prisoners of war to help in the Harâ€" vesting of crops near places where they are under detention.

Lefler, of Detroit, late Saturday night, confessed to Crown Attorney Roff, at Windsor, that he had conspired with two other Detroiters to dynamite Canadian facâ€" tories and public buildings.. In his confession Lefler said: "I have worked with Manager Alâ€" bert Kalischmidt, of the Tate plant, in Ford, several years. When the war started the plot to blow up facâ€" tories making supplies and ammuniâ€" tion was first introduced to me by a man who offered me $200 if I would handle the dynamite at the Tate plant. "Three months ago the> man comâ€" menced to smuggle dynamite over in his automobile at. Walkerville.

The only part he took in the plot was to furâ€" nish me with $25 on account and smuggle the explosive over from Deâ€" troit." According to the police Lefler said he was to blow up the Tate factory, which was sold several weeks ago to a Toronto company for the manufacâ€" ture of munitionsâ€" for the British army. The plot included the Peabody factory, which was dynamited a week ago, the armories, the Canadian Bridge Company plant at Walkerâ€" ville, where 500 high explosive shells are being turned out every day, and the Dominion Stamping Company‘s plant at Ford. Thirty sticks of dynamite were found in the vault of the Tate factory last Friday, and several more were uncovered by a grass cutter who was cutting weeds in the rear of the building.
