The military leaders paid particular attention to conditions in the Champagne and the Waevre. An official note, which gives details of the trip, says Lord Kitchener and M. Millerand were greatly impressed by the splendid appearance of the troops and their high morale. Sev- in] conferences were held, but the nature of them is not disclosed. Speaking at the close of a dinner £4. Millerand declares he felt highly anored by Lord Kitchener’s visit to France, and was glad to learn from the British Field Marshal's own lips of the complete accord uniting the two nations. Addressing the British War Minister directly, he said: "Yours is not the only voice which praises our soldiers, for the enemy 59st; gircs than their due. After a Particular Attention Was Paid to Conditions in the Champagne and the Woevre Never before in military operations has any enemy been so completely hoodwinked. The utmost secrecy as to the allies' plan was preserved, the various units composing the landing force departing from their several bases each unknown to the other. They composed the largest force ever yet thrown from the sea directly into a hostile country.

But the Russian victory did not end with the defeat of the German naval forces. The invading fleet was accompanied by four enormous trans- ports, all crammed with troops. These troops attempted to make a landing on the shores of Pernov Bay, on the nortlf-eastern shoulder of the- Gulf of Riga. Either the accompanying war- ships were unable to support the land- ing of the troops or the Russian strategy in some way overcame the advantage of German naval guns, for the troops were permitted to land and were then attacked and exterminated by the Russian forces at that point. The Petrograd despatches say that the Russian troops at Pernov did not even have the support of artillery. It would appear from the Petro- grad despatches that the admiral in command of the Russian naval forces in the Gulf of Riga permitted the Ger- man, fleet to work its way through the narrow entrance to the gulf, when at his leisure he directed the attack that costthe Germans so dearly. Not only, according to Petrograd, did the Rus- sian fleet overwhelm the German forces, but having destroyed the bul- wark of the German battle line, final- ly drove the invaders to flight from the gulf and into the comparatively open waters of the baltic. A despatch from London says: Russian naval forces in the Gulf of Riga have won a decided victory over the German fleet which penetrated the Gulf on August 19, according to official Petrograd despatches. The great German battle cruiser Moltke, one of the finest ships of her kind afloat, was destroyed by the Russian ships, as well as three German cruis- ers and seven torpedo boats, all un- named. h New $12,000,000 Battle Cruiser and Ten Other Vessels Sunk or Badly Damaged TEE lllBSihl)l mm FLEET r'cmyws'ce"' '. i SINES ELEVEN EEEEAE SEES All reports signify bumper yield. and if present weather continues, grade will be largely number one. year of war the enemy no longer has illusions of winning.

The following telegraphic advice from the Department of Agriculture of Alberta at Edmonton was received at the head office of the Canadian Northern Railway in Toronto: Unlike experiences at Seddul Bahr and Gaba Tepe, the warships were silent, and for 24 hours the landing operations was carried out without a single shot from big guns or rides being fired. The northern section of the great force moved forward in a north-easterly direction, and the southern section advanced in a south, eastern direction toward the left of the "Anzae" lines. The only Turks on the spot, an observation post of 50 men, surrendered to the first comers, and no enemy was reported in sight until almost nightfall, when our ad- vanced forces were six miles inland.

Daylight came, and still thework was proceeding. With the greatest possible speed artillery and supplies in vast quantities were put on shore, and still no opposition was experienced. The battle which has resulted so disastrously to the Germans had been in progress for two or three days. The German fleet in the Baltic is still strong in spite of the whipping) it has had. There are eight battleships and nine cruisers left, but this defeat, in which the British destroyers are said to have played a very useful part, must at all events delay opera- tions. It has put a fresh heart into the Russian fleet and in the nation, and has come just at the moment when good news was needed. The Russian fleet, says the Petro- grad despatches, was greatly aided in its attack on the German naval forces by British submarines and destroyers. This news has been received with the greatest enthusiasm by the British public, who are overjoyed that British warships participated in what seems to be a very important defeat to the Germans. The Daily Mail's correspondent at Petrograd telegraphs that the news- papers containing the news of the vie- tory of the Russian fleet are selling as fast as they can be printed. The people fill the streets talking in groups, congratulating each other, and even crying for joy in some cases. This account of Russiatrsueeesses in the Gulf of Riga was supplied by the President of the Duma, M. V. Rod- sianko, at Petrograd. Furthermore, they were taken com- pletely by surprise. How they accom- plished the utter defeat of a force which must have numbered some 8,000 men, aided by the gunfire of convoying warships, and later cap- tured the trangisorts as well is not ex- plained.

A despatch from London says: At the request of A. G.

The consignments, some of which already are in Rotterdam awaiting shipment, while others have not yet left Germany, are valued at several millions of marks.

Passengers arriving in Queenstown were in practically an exhausted con- dition, due to fright and exposure. None were able to save any belong-. ings, being ordered to take to the boats some time before the torpedo actually hit the _ steamer.

Of these 174 were passengers and 217 crew. The rescued included 140 Bri- tish, 26 residents of the United States, three French, one Belgian, three Russians, one Spaniard and one New Zealander. After floating around in lifeboats for some hours the victims were pick- ed up by the steamer Primrose and taken to Queenstown in the morning. This first big victim of the German submarine since the Lusitania was sent to the bottom had no warning, and the fact that there was not great- er loss of life is due to the wonderful training and discipline of the crew under Captain Finch. White Star officials say there were 26 Americans aboard, 10 passengers and 16 of the crew. So far as can be learned the Arabic carried no securities, Four hundred and twenty-three souls were on boavd-180 passengers and 243 crew.

Ten lifeboats and a number of life rafts were quickly got over the side of the steamer, and into these a large number of passengers and members of the crew scrambled. Many of the passengers, however, fell into the wa- ter, but they got hold of the rafts and clung to them and later were rescued. One woman who fell into the sea screamed pitifully for help.
