BUSSA -:.PTUBE HEIGHTS CANDADIANS PRAISED FOR TAKING REGINA “Signal and Economical Victory,” Say. Sir Douglas Haig in Official Report In a further review of the operations on the British tront in France and Belgium, dated last week. Gen. Sir Douglas Haig, the British commander, reports: “Since my last review, Oct. 10. the weather has been mostly un- favorable to extended operations; the heavy rain almost daily has converted the chalk soil of the upland between the Ancre and the Somme into a wilderness of mud. Nevertheless dur- ing the past fortnight we advanced our front towards Butte 1e Warlen- court. near Gueudecourt and Les Beards." After narrating the capture of the Schwaben redoubt and showing from German sources the importance of this the report continues: “Early on e let we attacked Schwaben re- doubt in considerable strength. This attack came as an opportunity for us. We replied by an attack delivered shortly after noon against the whole length of Regina trench. The attack -vâ€" ___ _ _ was completely successful. We took the whole Stuff and Regina redoubts, and pushed our advance posts well to the north-east of Schwaben redoubt, taking nearly 1,100 prisoners. Praise For Canadians “The Canadians and the troops of our new army, who conducted the 9 on. deserve great credit for air signal and most economical vic- m.

The appeal of the trustees from the judgment in favor of the city of Ottawa, which upheld the validity of the legislation appointing the Com- mission to administer the schools, has been declared ultra vires. The first judgment holds, in brief, that the regulation complained of, “Regulation 17,” was not ultra vires. The second judgment holds that the act by which the power of the elected trustees were vested in an appointed Commission was ultra vires of the Ontario Legis- lature. The appeal was heard origin- ally hy Lord Chancellor Buckmaster, Lords Haldane, Atkinson, Shaw and terms of those provisions on the pollute and the school under t‘ ; control.

Stripped of all legal form and phraseology, the decision means that French is not a language with equal rights as English in Ontario schools (and by parity in the other Provinces, except Quebec), but that the regulaâ€" tion does not prohibit French being taught, only it mus‘t be according to a timetable over which the Province alone has control. -A‘A Regulation 17 was issued in 1913 after the famous Dr. Merchant report on conditions in French-English schools to prescribe the rules under which French might be taught ,in these schools.

If I had my life to live over again, I would certainly master the French language."

In Stormy Weather The British oflicial communication dealing with the operations on Sunday on the Somme front says: “We attack- ed at several points along the front, making some progress and taking a' few prisoners. On our extreme right we cleared a pocket of Germans. In the centre we progressed on a front of over a thousand yards. sec the high ground in the neighbor of the Butte de Warlenoourt. The weather continues stormy." Capture 522 Prisoners The following omcial communica- tion was issued Sunday evening: “North of the Somme we made several successful attacks during the course 'of the day, accomplishing a series of appreciable advances between the re- gion south of Le Transloy, and the district south of the St. Pierre Vaast Wood. Between Lee Bosnia and Sailly- Saillisel we pushed our lines several hundred metres in the direction of Le Transloy. East of Sailly-Saillisel we captured a trench, and conquered the greater part of the village of Saillisel. South of this village we attacked from three sides at once the St. Pierre Vaast Wood, which is powerfully or- ganized by the enemy, and made an important advance, capturing three trenches which defended the northern horn of the wood, and also taking the whole line of the enemy's positions i on the south-western outskirts. The fighting was particularly bitter on that notion of the front. German counter- sttaokl were brilliantly repulsed with the hand grenade and bayonet. In the course of these actions we cap. iin-ed 522 prisoners, at whom fines}: m emcers.” Picked German troops struck back a ghe Somme Monday night in the moat desperate counter-attacks ‘ Lntdiaw, A.
