BRITISH AIR SERVICE UNDER FLAG OFFICER A despatch from Rome sen: Three Armenian girls hive been rescued from Turkish massacre. An American physician on his return to New York laid before his departure that the Turks practically massacred 14,000 Armenians in Trebizond alone, where they looted and burned the houses. In Leson 100 families were saved. The decision of Emperor Nichol” to take chief command is regarded in Petrotrrad " the best possible re- ply to recent talk of peace proprosals, and as shoang clearly Ruth’s de- termination to bring victory to her- self and her allies.

Emperor Nicholas addressed to the Count 3 communication acknowledging the val- no of his labors, and stating that he yields to his request to be permitted to devote his energies to work for which his state of health is more equal. The Emperor, therefore, re- lieves him of the post of Viceroy and attaches him to his personal staff. “Valiant army and fleet: To-dny, your august supreme chief, his Ma- Jesty the Emperor, places himself at your head. I bow before your heroism of more than a year, and express to you my cordial, warm and sincere up- preciation.

Although these few miles have not lt been covered, the belief evidently stil grips the British Ministers. Mr Robert Cecil in a speech at Croydon declared that the Anglo-French forces are within little distance of a great suceeae in the Dardanelles which would have an enormous effect on all parts of the world. 1 Within Little Distance of Affect All World.

A despatch from London says: A curious sight neu- the Strand was a London motor 'bus returned from the front marked, "Non stop, Berlin." It "NON STOP. BERLIN," "Two days after the Germans en- tered the city more than 400 of the moat prominent citizens who remain- ed were arrested without warning or interrogation and sent to Germany. About 700 families were deprived of their heads and of knowledge of their whereabouts. Arrests continued daily. The only known reason was that the names of the victims ap- peared on a list compiled by inform.. ers and sent to Germany months :30. A house to house search was made and every copper vessel was eonfiseat- ed. Metal was stripped from any places in which it had been left. Arti, cles of cotton and wool were gathered similarly from houses and shops. Conditions in' City Described by n Refugee. A despatch from Petrograd says: A prominent Polish lawyer. who made his escape from Warsaw after its cap- ture by the Germans makes the fol- lowing statement: "In so doing, it assumes that, as a matter of course, the arbitral deci- sion shall not be admitted to have the importance of a general decision on the permissibility or the converse under international law of German submarine warfare." "If it should prove to be the case that it is impossible for the German and American Governments to reach a harmonious opinion on this point, the German Government would be prepared to submit the difference of opinion, as being a question of iter- national law, to The Hague Tribunal for arbitration, pursuant to article 38 of Tho Hague Convention for the parifie settlement of iternational dis- putes. "The German Government is un- able, however, to acknowledge any obligation to grant indemnity in the matter, even if the commander should have been mistaken as to the aggres- sive intentions of the Arabic. "Tho German Government most deeply regrets that lives were lost through the action of the commander. It particularly expresses this regret to the Government of the United States on account of the death of its citizens. "This conclusion is all the more ob.. vious as he had been fired upon at a great distance ln the Irish Sea on Aug. 14--that is, a few days beforsy-by a large passenger steamer, apparently beyonging to the British Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, which he had neither attacked nor stopped. "According to his instructions the commander was not allowed to attack the Arabic without warning and with- out saving the lives unless the ship attempted to escape or offered resist- ance. He was forced, however, to con- clude from the attendant circum- stances that the Arabic planned a vio- lent attack on the submarine. "When she approached she altered her original course, but then again pointed directly towards the subma- rine. From this the commander be.. came convinced that the steamer had the intention of attacking and ram- mine him. In order to anticipate this attack he gave orders for the subma- rine to dive, and fired a torpedo at the steamer. After firing he con- vinced himself that the people on board were being rescued in fifteen boats. "On Aug. 19 a German submarine stoped the English steamer Dunsley about 16 nautical miles south of Kinsale, and was on the point of sink- ing the prize by gun fire after the crew had left the vessel. At this moment the commander saw a large steamer making directly towards him. This steamer, as developed later, was the Arabic. She was recognized as an enemy, as she did not fly any flag and bore no neutral markings. MANY ARRESTS IN WARSAW. A despatch from Berlin says: Ger- many's note to the United State- bear.. ing on the sinking of the White Stu Line Steamer Arabic, which-wu com- municated to the American Ambassa- dor, James W. Gerard, for transmis- sion to Washington, is in the form of a memorandum under "date of Sept. T, the text of which follows: Germany, In Note to U. B., Bees No , According to information received ‘in Bulgaria from "liable sources. the allies are now concentrating large forces, including heavy landing artil- lery for a new general attack on the Dardanellea. The presence of mine- sweepers It Seddul-Bahr, near the entrance to the Straits, is regarded as foreshadowing increased activity. including a vigorous bombardment of the outer Dnrdanelles forts. Ac- cording to a despatch to the Temps from Dedeatrhateh, the Bulgarian: are actively lortifying that port and its environs. Heavy gum are being placed at all stragetic points. REFUSES Ti) PAY FOR LIVES LOST Obligation in Arabic SIGN ON LONDON BUS i In many countries the milk is car- ;ried about in great covered buckets 'which are hung one on each side of onen and in that way are carried to ') the homes where it is purchased. The _ oxen are always driv an by young boys ( or girls, or, In case there are no child- jen in the dairyman’s family, the old (father or the aged mother drives the 1 oxen on their rounds. But the people who are used to that method think their way is the very best of all. For in that way they get their milk warm and fresh right in their own pails. And the pretty goats can be heard every morning as they “in clutter, clatter up the village streets-they must like delivering milk, for they trot along so content- odly! Just imagine going to your door and saying to your milkman, "stop a bit! I want milk from that third goat --y", the one with the brown spotsl" -woudp's it new funny? But the strangest of all are the customs in the countries where goat's milk is used instead of cow's milk! For the coats are not milked and then the milk delivered, " you would think would be doms--no, indeed. In smaller towns and villages the milkmnn drives down the streets and stops in front of prospective cust- omer's homes. There he leans out of his wagon and rings a bell loud and long. If the housewife wishes some milk the must run out to the kagon with her bowl or pitcher and have her amount ladled out to her from the big can of milk in the back of the milk wagon. No caring for germs or flies in that method, is there? Then there is the more common horse-drawn dairy wagon that early in the morning travels through the streets and alleys leaving clean, cold bottles of fresh milk on all the door- steps. First there is the auto milk wagon in the cities which rushes around and delivers in lightning time the milk which has been brought from the country dairies on milk express trains. There Are Many Strange Ways of De- livering Milk. Milk is such a nourishing, whole- some food that people from the earl- iest times have used it when it was obtainable; and the ways of getting it from place to place have been most curious. But suppose you count the ways in which milk has been delivered this very day-mot in olden times, but to-day. It is understood that Ambassador Dumba will not be handed his pass- ports, but will be permitted to fol- low his own course and await word from Vienna. If he should desire to return home it would be necessary for the American Government to se- cure n safe conduct for him from the allies. A despatch from Washington says: The United States has informed Aus- tria-Hungary that Dr. Constantin Theodore Dumba the Austro-Hungar- ian Ambassador to this country, is no longer acceptable as that country's envoy at this capital. The demand for the Ambassador’s recall is based upon his admission that he atempted to disrupt industries in the United States. The action taken in Dr. Dum- ba’s case amounts to a notice to Ger- many, as well as to Austria-Hungary, that this Government will no longer tolerate activities by aliens calculated to embarrass the United States in its relations with the belligerent powers of Europe. It was the answer of the American Government to Dr. Dumba's explanation of his intercepted letter to Vienna outlining plans for handi- capping plants in this country making war supplies for the allies. AUSTRIA MUST RECALL ENVOY Answer of the U. B. Government to Dr. Dumba’s Explnn. ations.

QUEER DAIRIES. BULGARIAN GUNNERS WHO AWAIT THE CALL The losses have been " heavy to Norwegian shipping that war risks in.. surance rates have been increased and restrictions imposed. Up to date the Norweginn War Rink Bureau hes in- curred risks aggregating '2,000,000 aind collected in premiums but 81- 820,000. Of the number of veaeels flying the Norwegian flag lont 18 were destroyed by mines, 24 by torpedoes, three tl,'itw appeared in the war zone, end one we: crushed by a German wirship. Still another was taken as e prize to Hamburg. - A despatch from Washington says: The State Department has made pub- lie a report from the American Mini- ster at Christiania, Norway, diselor. ing that Norway has lost 41 vessels since the war began. Seventy-six sailors have perished. "There is no doubt, however, that the rays of the sun have great cura- tive power in the treatment of tuber- culosis in Colorado and the West. The higher one goes the more direct and therefore the more powerful are the sun’s rays. Therefore, it is plain that the carrying of a patient into the air to a high altitude is a move in the right direction." 41 NORWEGIAN SHIPS LOST SINCE WAR BEG. "The greatest obstacle to a general use of this plan, to my notion, lies in the fact that aviation hasn't reached a suffleiently advanced stage to make it safe to carry the sick into the air," said Dr. Sachs. "Until aerial naviga- tion is safer a physician would hardly feel iustified in sending a sick man up into the clouds to face dangers as great, if not greater, than those at- tending his physical ailment. Dr. Theodore B. Sachs of the Muni- cipal Tuberculosis Institute of Chicago, and recognized as an ex- pert on the subject, said that the chief advantage of the new method lay in the fact that the patient would be carried up to a point where the rays of the sun were more direct than thosethat ordinarily were played up- on the germ-ridden parts. It was during military experiments in Berlin that the idea of using the aeroplane to conserve rather than destroy human life was conceived. Dr. Bruenstein began experiments at once and it is declared that they have open- ed up the moat promising field for work among the tubercular known to medical science. Rays of the sun long have been used as an aid to the cure of all germ dis- eases. All of the big tuberculosis hos- pitals troughout the country now are using the sun as their chief medicine But the slanting rays, together with the moisture and dust in the air, com- bine to prevent the light from reach- ing its greatest effieieney. In a. statement attributed to the Berlin physician it is asserted that but fifteen minutes exposure to the rays of the sun at a certain altitude is necessary to kill every germ in the body of a man. Although details of the experiments now in progress are meager because of the surplus of we! news that crowds the cables, it is known that Dr. Hugo Bruenstein is making numerous experiments in connection with avia- tion as a cure for disease, especially tuberculosis. The new hope of medicine, briefly, lies in the knowledge that direct rays of the sun will kill any germ. The aeroplane, as now used in experiments in Germany, "arries the patient up above the clouds to an altitude where the air is free from moisture and dust and the rays of the sun are direct. Aviation is looked upon as an al- most certain medium for the cure of the most dreaded of human ills-tu- berculosis. Moreover, it is expected that many other diseases of germ or- igin that hitherto have defied the ef- forts of medical science will now be placed upon the list of curable air. ments. Will the Aeroplane Kill the Deadly Tuberculosis Germ? Aeroplanes, long looked upon by military experts as the greatest de- stroyer of lives known to man, now promise to become the greatest aid to health and longevity.

An amusing story of an experience of the Canadian contingent when they first arrived at the front was related to a London Daily Chronicle represen- tative by a Canadian staff " ieer now at Shorneliffe. Tho story has been told before how the Germans revealed their knowledge of the supposed se- eret arrival of the Canadians by call- ing out, "Hello, Canadians.'" across the zone of fire as the Dominion troops took their place in the trenches. The Petrograd correspondent of the Daily Mail remarks that the Czar has pluckily undertaken the responsibility of the chief command at a time when the retirement from Grodno is still in progress under diff1cult conditions. The enemy at the same time is ad- vancing through the marsh region with the object of occupying the rail- way running north and south. He is using a ready-made railway line over the swampy ground, the rails attached to ties put down on narrow roadways which are sufficiently firm to allow a speed of ten miles an hour. Thus Field Marshal von Hinden- burg and his commanders in Courland are still being denied their objective, the Dvina River, while von Mackensen and the Austrian generals at the other end of the line are engaged in oppos- ing the Russian offensive. In the centre, on the other hand, Lieut.Gen. Von Eichhorn and Prince Leopold of Bavaria are pushing forward, and, ac- cording to the Berlin official report, have occupied Wolkowysk, an import- ant railway junction immediately east of Bialystock. It is for these railways that the Germans are now fighting, as when the Autumn rains turn a great part of the country into an impassable morass they will need every line of railway to keep their armies supplied with provisions and munitions. A despatch from London says: Almost simultaneously with the an- nouncement that the Emperor has personally replaced Grand Duke Nicholas as commander of the Rus- sian forces, the fighting along the easern frontier, despite the beginning of the Autumn rains, has been re- Burned with the intensity which char- acterized it throughout the Bummer on both wings in Courlsnd, in the north, and in Volhynia, Podolia and East Galicia.
