Figures for barbed wire, harness and A despatch from Washington says: That a great part of Europe's enor- mous orders for arms and ammuni- tion did not begin to move from the United States until comparatively re- cently was indicated by export figures issued by the Department of Com- merce. The statistics, covering the 21 months ending with June, showed that, while exports of war supplies Increased tremendously over the pre- ceding year, the greater pert of the increase-in some cases from one- fifth to one-third of the entire year's exports-left the United Mates in June. MUNITIONS MOVING Ti) EUROPE RAPIDLY lune Figures Were About a Quarter of the Entire Year's Business. The siqnifleant announcement in the Admiralty report that it is not the practice of the Admiralty to pub- lish accounts regarding the losses of German submarines, together with the statement of the Earl of Selborne, President of the Board of Agriculture, in the course of an address to a deptr. tation of agricultural landowners that the navy now has the submarine men- ace well in hand, lends color to recent unofrieial reports to the effect that the British have of late months captured a very large number of these sub- mersible vessels, and that many others have been sunk. The number sunk has been variously stated at from 20 to 40, but this statement is the only official admission that there were others than those previously an- nounced by the Admiralty as having been destroyed. Concerning the recent bombard- ent of Zeebrugze. Belgium, by a Eritlsh fleet, the Amsterdam Tid) says It has learned that a large number of soldiers were killed by the fire of the fleet, and that 90 severely wounded men were brought to Ghent. The material damage done, it adds, was apparently very great, " a shed built for submarines was completely destroyed and with it some sub- marines. In the cue referred to above, how.. ever, the brilliant feat of Squadron Commander Bigsworth was performed In the immediate neighborhood of the coast in occupation of the enemy, and the position of the sunken submarine has been located by a German de- Btroyer." Nt is not the practice of the Ad- miralty to publish statements regard- ing the losses of German submarines, important though they have been, in cases where the enemy has not other source of information as to the time and place at which these losses hsve occurred.

Six thousand marines from Kiel have been sent to the eastern fighting front to reinforce the pioneer service of the army, it is sated. 58 UNDERSEA CRAFT IN THE GERMAN FLEET A despatch from London says: In sentencing a soldier for fraud in con- nection with separation allowances, Magistrate Sir William Treloar re- marked that he understood the nation was now paying something like 240,- 000,000 ($200,000,000) a '.year in these allowances to families'of sol- diers absent at the front. $200,000.000 ANNUALLY FOR SOLDIERS’ FAMILIES Punishment also is threatened to any person who hinders work ordered by the Germans or induces other per- sons to decline to work. A despatch from Brussels says: General von Bissing, military gover- nor of Belgium, has issued an order providing for the punishment of every person who without adequate reason refuses to undertake or carry on work of public interest which is demanded by the German authorities and which is suited to his calling. TO FORCE BELGIANS TO OBEY GERMAN ORDERS The comrades of the lst battalion of the Fusiliers displayed extreme valor during the landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula last April. The King awarded three crosses. The survivors elected Willis, Richards and Keneally as having performed the moat signal acts of bravery and devotion. A despatch from London says: The Victoria Cross has been awarded to Capt. Willis, Sergt. Richards and Pte. Keneally, of the Lancashire Fusiliers, by an interesting, though not unpre- cedented, method of suffrage. I This raid was duplicated by one of Iequal proportions against the wood iii Monthulst, north of Ypres, in Bel- gium. In the squadron which sailed lforth there were 62 machines, but i they were not all French. British and lBelgian aeroplanes participated. iHeavy fires were observed as the i1it,rt turned and began their flight I back. . SURVIVORS AWARD So far as official reports have dis- closed, there never had been previous- ly an air raid of such magnitude, so far as concerns the number of ma- chines employed. In a few earlier ventures of the kind 80 or more aero- planes were used. Press despatches have indicated that the principal belli.. gerents have built great number of aeroplanes, and as a result of the de.. velopment of this branch of the ser- vice since the outbreak of the war these machines are now sent forth in f1otillas for organized assau'ts on a large scale instead of being despatch- ed singly or in pairs, principally for observation purposes. The losses, if any, are not stated by the War Office, nor is the probable damage. But it is hoped and expect- ed here that the damage was great, as it seems it must have been, from the huge quantity of explosives car- ried by so many aeroplanes and drop- ped on a single target. Ssarlouis, over the heights of Del- lingen, a small town in Rhenish Prussia, was the objective, for at Saarlouls is a great German factory where shells and armor-plate are be- ing made. From the moment that the outfiiers, the scouts, crossed the Ger- man front until the army of aerial invaders had returned the crack of anti-aircraft guns was incessant. A despatch from Paris says: Sixty-two seroplanes rose from be.. hind the French lines into, a grey dawn recently, wheeled and monoeu- vred into four groups, and sped away towards Rhenish Prussia. It was the biggest and most formidable squadron of fliers that had ever set out as a body to bombard an enemy position. Sixty French, British and Belgian Aeroplane: Pnrticipate in [rest success in one of their attacks. An Austrian offieer declared that if the allied forces had had two more hours of darkness they could have covered six hundred ysrds of ground which separated them from the Bari Bahr hill, generally known as Hill 971. Once this hill was in the allies' hands, the officer declared, the Turk- ish communications would have been cut and it was for the possession of this hill that the dominion troops fought so bravely but futilely.

Such tratatement is a confirmation in itself of the Bryce re- port.-iltimore American. A despatch from Geneva says: The Tribune says, under a Bucharest date line, that thousands of Roumanian workmen in all parts of Germany have been given notice to leave the country and are returning to Ron- mania. Roumanian banks at And, Temeavar. and other cities in Aug- tria, have been closed, the Tribune asserts, while passports have been issued to large numbers of Rouman- inns in Kronstadt. ROUMANIANS HASTEN TO LEAVE GERMANY Much will depend, the correspon- dent asserts, upon the attitude of Roumania, whose intentions are un- known, but who is believed to be averse to another Balkan conflict, and to disapprove an attack upon Serbia. The Times correspondent, who usually is well informed, declares he has reason to believe the Bulgarian Government has been notified of this intended aggression with the admoni- tion that opposition would be futile and the suggestion that it eo-operate with the central powers. The fate of Belgium, lie says he has heard, has been cited as an object lesson of what might happen if resistance were offer- ed, while Bulgaria has been told that if she acquiesces in the plan she will be given a free hand in dealing with Serbia, I Montreal, Aug. 31.-There was a [fair demand for steers and sales of fair sized lots of good quality were made at $8 to $8.26, while fair stock l brought from $7 to $7.75 and common (from $5.50 to $6.25 per ewt.

GERMANY CALLS OUT LANDSTURM RESERVES Universe Will be "Dumb with Admir- ation" When It Realizes Fact. A despatch from Paris says: "The Government now has under control all factories able to produce cannon, rifles, projectiles and explosives," said David Lloyd-George, British Min- ister of 21,,'1ft,',t in an interview with Char es Humbert, new editor of the Journal, From what Mr. Lloyd- George showed him, Mr. Humbert be- lieves British preparations in many ways are more ample than those of the French. He declares the army now in training will be one of the most powerful the world has ever Been, and when, later, it will be possi- ble to tell what has been accomplished by the British, the universe will be "dumb with admiration." Police officials, whose prerogatives have been somewhat confused during the period of military rule, show great satisfaction at the removal of all dan- ger of eoniliet of authority and at the possibility of pursuing reconstructive measures. MOST POWERFUL ARMY WORLD HAS EVER SEEN A despatch from Paris says: Mar- tial law has been abolished every- where in Paris outside of the zone of military activities. The decision of the Government in this respect is in- terpreted on all sides as a sign of eonfidenee in official circles that the interior administration of France will not be disturbed again by military operations. The Turks are making a very stub- born defence of their positions, but the allies have eonfidenee that with the strong forces at their command and the assistance of the fleet the Dardanelles will be forced before the arrival of the unfavorable weather, which is due towards the end of Sep- tember. ABOLISH MARTIAL LAW THROUGHOUT PARIS In the first attacks the Australians and New Zealanders reached the sum- mits of Sari Bohr and Chanak Baht, commanding positions on the west coast of the peninsula, but through the failure of the new landing party at Suvla Bay to make the progress expected the troops from the domin- ions were compelled to fall back. An- other attack was made last Saturday, but on this occasion, having lost the advantage of surprise, the British could not reach the summit. toa PROGRESS IN , .9 THE I)hll0hlilllll,uis The report sets at rest rumors which have been in circulation for several days. crediting the British troops with having either cut " or outdanked the Turkish forces. The statement indicates also that additional troops" have been landed on the peninsula, although no details are given on this point, and it is stated simply that "further reinforcements have arrived.” It is stated that the losses have been very heavy, but that the Turks suffered more severely than the British. A despatch from London says: Re- cent operations on the Gallipoli Penin- sula have enabled the British troops to extend materially the area. in their position and to connect their lines along a ront of more than 21 miles, according to an official statement.
