The Ministry of Colonies gave out a statement to-day announcing further victories. It follows: "French forces in the eutern and tsouth-eastern Cameroons are continu- tntt a vigorous offensive in the diree- tion of Yaunde. capital of the colony. The German troops were defeated in a series of engagements and are re- treating in great disorder. "Many of the native German troops surrendered, with their arms and other equipment.

Offensive Foreshadowed of French and British on the Western Front Defeats. A despatch to Amsterdam says: Following the example of Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Government now announces, according to the Frankfurter Zeitung, that all Aus- trians and Hungarians in neutral countries, particularly the United States, are warned not to work in fac- tories producing war material for enemies of the Dual Monarchy. This newspaper says that violation of this decree is punishable by imprisonment of ten to twenty years, and even by capital punishment under certain con- ditions. x But the real responsibility for the supply of men rests with the men themselves. To the man without de- pendents the call to service is well- nigh absolute, and it comes to the man with a job with precisely the some urgency as it does to the man without one. Your present job, im- portant as it may be, is as nothing in importance to the one your country has for you. The call comes next to those with others dependent on them, who would suffer if they went. Some men in this position should co, others should not. No one may decide for any man but himself. But the free- dom of choice which is his carries with it a corresponding responsibility. If no men mar say to you, "You ought to go,” neither may you lay the responsibility of your staying on anyone but yourself. Your’s is the choice. Stay if your conscience says so; but go if it says to Co, for your Empire needs the men.

Although un- der fire from French artillery, the eeroplanes turned back. One dam- Med mochine came down near the Swiss village of Buix, but afterwards took to the air and escaped towards Alene. The United Kingdom entered the war with a naval force of not less than 225,000, and with a military force of at least 200,000. Since the outbreak there have been added to the military force, of completely trained and equipped soldiers, not less than 500,000. Adding to these the soldiers which the United Kingdom now has in the making, in all stages of equip- ment and training, numbering not less than 1,500,000, the total is at. least 2,525,000. The flgures are ap- proximately only, but they will seWe. But this will not alter the fact that in the past we have not done our full duty, and we are therefore under the greater obligation to respond to the call the Government is now making. Many of the initial difficulties con- nected with the raising of an army have been overcome, and men are now being accepted for overseas service as rapidly as they present themselves for enlistment. Their pay, separation and other allowances commence at once, and they are clothed. equipped and trained with all possible rapidity. The Municipal Council is making arrangements with the Government for In official commemoration of the Battle of the Marne, in 'which the German advance through France in the early weeks of the war 'P'. end- h COMPARISON OF FORCES RR WAR In a year's time we have seen our army come into being and grow into a force of very considerable size and efficiency; but this is no time to rest on our iaurela, much less to indulge a tendency towards self-congratulation. Our duty now is to appreciate the full extent of our responsibilities and make adequate provision for dis- charging them. Adding the few thousands we had to begin with to those organized dur- ing the year, the total number of trained and equipped troops is not more than 60,000.' Our incompletely trained and equipped troops will num- ber not more than an additional 100,- 000; and that none of our fighting re- sources may be overlooked, we will add a naval force of 1,000, making a Our ideal minimum is 400,000, our real maximum is 161,000. The result of our calculations need not make us down hearted. We are quite entitled to comfort ourselves with the thought that the original forces of the United Kingdom were incomparably superior to ours and that the British Isles were much better supplied than we were with the means, both human and ma- terial, of creating a vast new army. Our population being about one- sixth the population of the United Kingdom, we can readily ascertain the minimum number of men that we should now have available for service if we were doing our full share. In round figures, we should have a force of at least 400,000 men. total of 161,000. September 12. Turning from the ideal to the real, we may estimate the strength of the Canadian forces as follows:--- CANADA'S RESPONSIBILITY.

W. Fisher, 576 Lansdowne Avenue, Westmount, accompanied by a letter of apprecia- tion from the British War Office. The deceased soldier earned the distinction of the Cross by gallantly assisting with a machine gun, in covering the retreat of a battery, and later bring- ing his machine gun into action, un.. der very heavy fire, in order to cover the advance of supports. It was while doing this he was killed. He was only 20 years of age. The Home Secretary says that all German women desiring to return to Germany are given facilities for so doing, and that, together with their children, they receive the same police protection as British subjects and similar relief from the guardians of the poor if they are destitute. It is added that access to hospitals on the same terms as Britishers are accorded German women and children when they are ill. A despatch to London says: The Home Secretary has issued a denial of statements published in the United States that German women and chil- dren in London are being exposed to the fury of mobs, which are encour- aged by the police whenever they ven- ture out of doors, are prevented from buying food, and are compelled to subsist on what they can beg.

But in the earlier days of traBlitthtintt the coal-tar was regarded as a horri- ble nuisance, and surreptitious1y got rid of. In Lancashire alone cotton-waste has an annual value of fifteen millions sterling! It consists of fag-ends and sweepings and pickings and combings. Thousands of women are employed to divide this stuff into good, middling, and bad, and it is sold at various prices for different purp0Be8--pttper- making, matting, surgical wadding, and, most of all, the making of shod- dy. A young man who had been reduced literally to his last cent was wander- ing aimlessly about the docks of Liverpool. He saw a lot of frowsy- looking stuff, the use of which nobody could tell him. It had come from South Africa three months before and had failed to find a purchaser. The young man made a bid of eigh- teenpence a pound, and bought the lot, three hundred bales. It was alpaca, the wool of a sort of camel- like sheep. The purchaser's name was Titus Salt, the founder of Sul- taire, England. THE DEATH OF PEGOUD IS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED Astroud brought down his sixth German aircraft on July 11. Fortunes Made Out of the Tallinn of Gold Mines. The tailings of the gold-mines of the Rand have latterly proved nearly as valuable " the reef. A new treat- ment was discovered, and the tailing: which encumbered the landscape for miles around suddenly became new mines. It was found that the amount of gold left in them was enormous. Many fortunes were made out of tail- ings alone. Then the great discovery was made that all the hues of the rainbow dwelt in this dirty-looking stuff which men despised and threw away. To-day the by-products of coal-tar are counted by the dozen. Soap-boilers used to have great dif- fieulty in getting rid of a thick, evil- smelling liquid which was the chief by-product of their industry. They ran it into streams and sewers. Pre- sently someone began collecting it and refining it. The result was pure glycerine. A despatch from Paris says: Re.. ports of the death of Adolphe Pegoud, the famous aviator, have been official- ly eonfirmed. The news caused sin- cere sorrow among the French people, who regarded him as a hero.

V htttri%ia TORONTO PRICELESS RUBBISH. TACTICAL POINT Wonders of the World. From liriA Green Isle Thomas Bolsover, a Sheffield me- chanic, was mending the handle of a knife made of copper and silver. He saw these metals fuse together, and the idea of silver plating was born in his mind. He laid a thin plate of silver on a heavier one of copper, and heated them till the edge of the sil- ver began to melt. He took them from the fire, let them cool slightly, then rolled and hammered them to the desired thickness. This was the orig- in of 'Sheffield plate," all of which was made in this way until electro- plating was invented. Cornelius Dubbel left a bottle of aqua regia (a mixture of nitric and muriatie acids) on a shelf. it fell over; the acid ran down over a win- dow and dropped into a bottle contain- ing an extract of cochineel. This turned to a vivid scarlet. Dubbel found that the acid had dissolved some of the tin of the window cas- ing, and the combination had pro. duced the new color.

Powerful Mechanical Organization of For instance, though it would verily appear that Germany is now " her highest pitch of success and achieve- ment, it would also appear that that does not appeal to those upon when depend the f1nnneial arrangements for carrying on the war. Though Ger- many is at her height these experts do not see how she can continue to to on as she has done-for which there must be a reason! Wall Street au- thorities. and there could hardly be better, have come to the conclusion. indeed, that however victorious Ger- many may seem at the present mo- ment she is already beaten-be- she is really bankrupt, or on the verge of bankruptcy. That will certainly make Germany, not Europe, “trem- ble"; for when her credit is assailed and she becomes flntutci0.v, not to say morally, creditless, she may pre- pare for mdden collapse. The essen- tials which Germany cannot produce she must get from abroad and pay for with gold, her credit being under. mined. And gold has been disappear- ing in startling rapidity from Ger- many.
