The bright moon- light interfered with the activity of our patrols. One night, after 3. prev liminary bombardment, a small party from the Royal Canadian Regiment, under Lieut. Bole, approached the German trenches, but finding that the enemy was alert. our party threw bombs among the garrison and re- turned to their own trenches with the loss of only one man. “Upgn another occasion a dummy raid 00-03: eration with the artillery was successfully carried out by a Toronto battalion.

Resolutions were enthusiastically pas- sed demanding that the Government immediately regulate all food prices. Speakers referred to the fact that the price of the four-pound loaf will reach ameteen and twenty cents to-morrow, escrihing the rise as unreasonable. Many notable labor leaders were pre- sent.

The action, decided upon at a hurriedly-convoked session of the Federal Council in Berlin, was taken following the announcement from Bucharest. An omcial statement is- sued ln Berlin says: “After Roumania, as already reported, disgracefully w-- wwwâ€" fioke treatdies _c6ncluded with Austria- Hungary and Germany, she declared war yesterday against our ally.” Balkan Ofiicial reports from Saloniki on Friday said that British cavalry pat- rols had pushed beyond the Struma on the right flank of Sarrail’s army and destroyed three bridges over the Angista, east of Tahinco Lake. This would indicate that the passages of the Struma are still held by the allied forces. The Serbs, aided by the Rus- sians on the western end of the line, are also advancing to the attack. They have succeeded in winning more ground in the neighborhood of Lake Ostrovo, and have halted the Bulgar offensive south of Florina. In the centre of. their line they are forcing the enemy back toward the border. “A V vâ€" wD-â€"-G -__ _ left wifig.

Vienna reports officially that the first clashes between troops of Roumania and the (neutral Powers occurred Sunday night. in southeastern and eastern frontier passes of Hungary. The attacks by the Roumanians are described in the statement as “treach- erous.” Advance guards of the two _forces came intocontact at Rothen-l Fthurm Pass, 15 miles south of Her- *mannstadt, Transylvania, and in the passes south of Kronstadt (Brasso), the staten: -r-.t adds.
