B. Bennett, M.P., Calgary, has been ap- pointed in his stead. The resignation was entirely uneXpected. The inci- dent, which led up to his resignation arose out of his proposal to appoint G. M. Murray, secretary of the Can- adian Manufacturers’ Association, to the position of secretary of the Direc- tor of National Service. An oflicial statement upon the subject, issued by the Prime Minister, says: “All pro- posed appointments are, in the regular course, submitted to the Government for approval; in order to acce t this appointment, however, Mr. urray resigned in advance his position as secretary of the Canadian Manufac- turers' Association. Objection was taken to the proposed appointment of Mr. Murray on the ground that 8 Cir- cular which he had issued to the mem- bers of the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association, misrepresented a com- munication to him from the Minister of Finance, with regard to the use of. Canadian products and materials for the equipment of the Canadian forces, while in Great Britain. It was felt that while this circular remained un- corrected the Government could not consistently approve of Mr. Murray’s appointment to the position mentioned Sir Thomas, in his letter of resig- nation to the Prime Minister, dated Oct. 12, said: “In view of what has occurred in the case of G. M. Murray who had been oflered by me and ac- cepted the position of secretary of National Service, and of that incident as indications of what may be antici- pated in connection with the future organization and work of National Ber». vice, I feel compelled after serious consideration, to relinquish the posi- -tion of Director-General of National Service, and therefore do now resign from that position.” Sir Robert Borden, replying on Oct. 18. said in part: “It came somewhat as a surprise, as you had not given me in our interview of last evening an intimation of any such Intention. While I do not venture to question a decision which must rest upon your own Judgment, you will permit me to say that in my opinion there was nothing in the incident which has oc- curred that should have impelled you to take so serious and precipitate a decision." After a stubborn battle with German forces, north of Korynltza in Volhynia, on the Stcizhod River, the Russian: stormed the trenches of the enemy and captured two machine guns. They also took a ”camber or German prison- ers. The attack was made at dawn and it was a. complete success. After this advam e. the Germans made seV- eral fierce counter-attacks with the bayonet, b:.t they made no impres- sion on the Russians. These steadily held their ground and mowed down their opponents. The action was a costly one .‘ r the Germans. Stubborn Fight Before KovoLâ€"Ruas.

Although King Ferdin- gtnd's troops have had time to fortify g the border passes, Falkcnhayn is ‘ ttering at the defences without ‘ ause. Each hour the Roumanian line olds lessens the Teuton chance of breaking through. for the Allied com- ~mands are taking ail measures to re- lieve the passare. For the moment 'the greatest danger is in the Torz- lburger Page, where the Germans are v striking for the railwa to the capital. Campolung is only 1 miles beyond . their reach and it lies on the edge of the Roumanian plain. Falkenhayn’s advance hcze. however, has produced 9, deep salient in his line. To the ‘ st, along the border, the Roman- fins are holding their ground, while to the west they are making slow progress in their counter-offensive. Unless Falkenhayn can straighten his line an advance out of the pass carries with it a. serious threat to both flanks. In eastern Tran min the Roumanians have yield little ound. In the Oituz Valley, where Teutons had succeeded in forcing their way across the frontier, King Ferdinand’s troops threw them back. Only south of Kronstadt and to the east were the Roumanians compelled to give way. Meanwhize there are indications that the figuting in the Dobrudja will soon be reeumed.
