One distinguished American has offered to provide a full corps of 7,000 ditchmen, in every way skilled in the work. The number of men in the camp at Valcartier is already more than sufficient to meet the needs of the contingent, and 9,000 additional men are now on their way across the continent. The men not chosen for the first contingent will probaâ€" bly be utilized as a reserve to reâ€" lieve the men now doing guard duty at various points Under a heavy fire from the Rusâ€" sian fleet a majority of the cruisâ€" er‘s crew was saved by the Gerâ€" man torpedo boat Vâ€"26.

It was made in reply to interpellations as to the plans of the War Sccretary to add 600,000 men to the army. ‘"It is a mistake to think that only 100,000 men are needed,‘‘ continued the Premier, who, answering other questions, declared that British volunteers would not be compelled to go abroad. He added that no considâ€" eration has yet been given to the question of enlisting men between the ages of thirty and forty. as a superior Russian naval force was attacking. c‘ Britain Will Require 600,000 or More Men.

" A despatch from _ London | says : Prince Albert, King George‘s second son, who has been with the North Sea fleet, was recently taken ill with appendicitis.

Prince Albert became a midshipâ€" man last year, and was attached to the battleship Collingwood. mourning the loss of some of their members.

Son of King George TH. men, 86 nurses and six FRENGH AIRMEN MAKE VOW WILLING TO FACE DEATH FOR THEIR COUNTRY. One of the strangestâ€"and bravest bands of men fighting in Europe toâ€" day consists of twelve or fifteen French airmen, all army aviators, who are bound together by a weird oath of patriotism to sacrifice their lives in a battle of the air if the occasion requires it to destroy a German army dirigible and kill its crew, according to Capt. Horace B. Wild, the Chicago aweronaut, in the Chicago Sundiay Herald. Their pla;n The German Zeppelins in war times are equipped with rapidâ€"fire guns, but the gunners cannot aim at any target in the air above the balloon, _ amd â€" consequently the Fremch aviabors believe that their programme to destroy the enemy, with its attendant destruction of themselves, can be carried out, proâ€" vided they so manoeuvre as to get their monoplanes above the diriâ€" gibles before the guns can be aimed at them: _ oi Mnmet n on e Eooo ces i I" is for the aviator to take his air craftâ€"the monoplane is most popuâ€" lar with the Frenchmenâ€"high above the enemy‘s great bailloon and then suddenly drive his machine down into the big gas bag, wrecking it and sending the entire crew of from ten to twentyâ€"six men to their deaths. Swear to Charge German Dirigibles If Occasion Call For It. Capt. Wild, who has an intern@r tional reputation as & pioneer and expert in aeronautics, was inspired to tell his story of ‘the iband of French aviators and their oath by the report several days ago that Roâ€" land Garros, the French aeronaut, had sacrifieced his life in a success ful attack on a German dirigible such as has been described. "‘Whether or not the report is true," said Captain Wild, "just such a sensational incident of selfâ€" sacrifice may be looked for at any time if the present war on the Conâ€" tinent continues.‘"‘ Value of Sacrifice. A Zeppelin machine costs a milâ€" lion of francs and requires four months to construct. It has on board from ten to twenty men, whom it has cost the Genman Govâ€" ernment thousands of dollars to train at great risk over a long perâ€" lod of time, for these Zeppelin piâ€" lots cannot become efficient in the scientific manoeuvring of these maâ€" chines until after years of continuâ€" ous practice. Germany‘s sky navy is believed to ronsist of fifty Zeppelin dirigibles. There are five dirigible centres at strategic points, besides a marvelâ€" lous station at Heligoland, about which absolutely nothing is known. None but officials are allowed withâ€" in 1,000 feet of it. k The latest "air monsters,‘‘ 700 feet long, carry a crew of twentyâ€" four, six quickâ€"fire guns, seven tons of explosives, searchlights, wire less apparatus, and. a..f;etiwt nonâ€" UOmnt EPAE 0200 o inflammable gas in liquid form. One could sail over the French border. _ dynamite fortifications around Paris and return to Gerâ€" many without landing. They have a speed of thirtyâ€"five to sixty miles an hour nOu‘. The crew‘s quarters are heated. Dirigibles going up 6,000 to 8,000 feet to drop a new explosive having the property of setting on fire anyâ€" thing is hits would look from the ground no bigger than a football. A despatch from London says : It is announced that during the recent operations in Togoland one British and two French officers and 12 Briâ€" tish and 16 French native troops were killed.â€" Three British and two French officers and 24Ԥ_ritiah and EP PCR COGARNC P00 26 French native soldiers . were wounded. jermany‘s * Monsters."

French Routed the Germans on South Side Aftes Five Days‘ Struggle "Longwy, a very old fortress, the garrison of which consisted of only one battalion, which had been bomâ€" barded Aug. 3, has capitulated, after holding out for over 24 days. More than half the garrison was killed or wounded. _ Lisut.â€"Col. Darche, Governor of Longwy, has been nominated an officer of the Leâ€" gion of Honor for ‘heroic conduct in the defence of Longwy.‘ A despatch from London says : The following official bulletin was issued by the French War Office : side ‘‘The Germans bombarded Saint Die, which is an unfortified town. "On the Meuse our troops have repulsed with great vigor several German attacks. A German flag was taken. Half a Million Dollars Will be Spent in Saskatchewan. A despatch from Regina says : Employment for more than 2,500 men in the awreas in the west and southâ€"west of Saskatchewan affectâ€" ed by drouth will be found during the fall by the Provincial Highways Commission, _ who are #spending $500,000 on road work and bridge construction. Every married man in the districts which have suffered will be given work until he has earned $115 in wages, and every single man until he has earned $75. When these sums have been earned the settlers will be expected to stand aside and allow other men to take their places in order that the funds may be distributed as evenly as possible. No Shortage of Food Reported in Other Linecs in Britain,. A despatch from London says : There is still: no scarcity of food supply here except for a shortage of cheese. The only Canadian cheese available is now at a six shillings hundredweight rise, which is probaâ€" bly permanent, owing to war risks and higher freights. The Russian Government has prohibited the exâ€" port of butter, in which there is a regular weekly trade to England of five thousand cakes. Efforts are beâ€" ing made through the British Govâ€" ernment to have the prohibition reâ€" moved.

The British Press Bureau gave out the following statement : ‘"In the north the British have atâ€" tacked forces greatly superior in number, and were obliged, after brilliant resistance, to withdraw a little in the rear on their right. _ "‘The French operations of war over a distance of some 250 miles have necessitated certain changes in the position of our troops, who are occupying a strong line to meet the German advance, supported by the French army of both flanks. ‘‘The morale of both armies apâ€" pears to be excellent, and there is little doubt that they will give good accounts of themselves in the posiâ€" tions they now hold.‘"‘ A bulletin to the French War Office says : Tess i o cs ‘‘‘The events in the region of the north have neither imperiled nor modified the arrangements made in view of the future development of operations in the region between Vosges and Nancy." Farmers Selling Their Grain at Fair Prices to Government. Paris, Aug. 26.â€"The wheat crop has â€" been harvested throughout France, according to information collected by the Government. The cutting of the oats erop is well adâ€" vanced. Beets are in splendid conâ€" dition. The news regarding the vinâ€" tage is good, although the vines are somewhat damaged by cryptogamic growths. The farmers are selling their grain to Government agents. The price of the wheat is comparaâ€" tively low, though that of oats is higher. A despatch from London says: A Boulogne despatch to the Standard says that the town of Tournai, capiâ€" tal of the Department of Hainaut, Belgium, occupied by the Germans, was compelled to pay an indomnity of $400,000 within an hour, the Burâ€" gomaster being held as a hostage Motherâ€"‘"Now, Willy, you told me a falsehood.
