Greece accepted the (allies' demands. The question, there- fore, is now solved. Negotiations are still pending for the settlement of ltechnical details between the general staffs of the Greek army and the ', Anglo-French forees." A despatch from London says: It is officially announced that an order. in-council Just issued requires that in all ordinary cases of persons going abroad, British or alien, passports will be required. The army authorities already have acted on this advice in preparations for clothing for the troops during the cold months. The meteorologist visited the Alps and obtained the views of experienc- ed mountaineers. The latter told him that the Alpine field mice, instead of burrowing some ten or twelve inches, as usual, in order to pass the winter comfortably, have gone down fully three feet. Trees and plants point to the same conclusion, the ash and heather being particularly emphatic in their weather signals. ILL LEAVING BRITAIN MUST HATE PASSPORTS I A despatch from Rome says: Italy has pledged herself not to make a iscpamte peace An announcement of [this step was made in the Italian Par- liament by Baron Sidney Sonnino, iMinister of Foreign Affairs, who said Ahat Italy had affixed her signature Ao the London pact of September 6, which was signed originally by Rus- nia, France and Great Britain. At tho same time, Baron Sonnino announced that Italy would send ar. distance to Serbia. . Informing the Appropriations Com. mittee of the Chamber of Deputies of his decision, Gen. Gallieni said he had reached it as the result of a report prepared in behalf of a committee by Raouel Perot, former Minister of Commerce, and Emmanuel Brusse. A despatch from Paris says: Gen- ovals and other high officers of the French army must get along with fewer automobiles and horses here. after, by order of Gen. Gallieni, Min- ister of War. TI )1) hi A N Y MOTORS The members of Parliament, many in uniform, greeted both the an- nouncements with great applause. F The announcement of the raid is one of several announcements of ne- ; tivity on the part of the British tlrintt icorps. British airmen brought down two German aviators in Belgium re- :‘cently. Two British aviators are re- 'ported missing after setting out on [reconnaissance flights. "The above appears to his Majesty’s Government to merit being brought to tho notice of the public as showing how the German Government in those waters where they have an opportun- ity for displaying naval activity prac- tise the principle of the freedom of the seas for neutral commerce, which they have so loudly accused his Majes- ty's Government of violating." ITALY IS PLEDGE!) WITH HER ALLIES; SIGNED PACT A despatch from London says: The Foreign Office publishes a statement which it announces was made by the captain of a Swedish steamer to the effect that, before the sailing of a vessel, Swedish Customs houses in all cases telegraph to Berlin information of the sailing and that the vessel does not carry contraband; and that all Swedish vessels leaving the Baltic are stopped at the entrance to the Bound by German patrol boats, which examine tho vessels very carefully. In making public the statement the Foreign Oftiee appends the following observation: Montreal, Dec. 7.--Butehera' cattie, choice, $7 .50 to $7.75; do., medium, $6 to $6.75; do., common, $6 to $5.75; canners, $8.15 to $4.25; butchers’ cattle, choice cows, $6 to $6.25; do., medium, $5 to $5.50; do., bulls, " to $6.50; milkers, choice, each, $90 to Sim; do., common and medium, each, teo to $85; swingers, $66 to $75.

"I don't know what to say about his good- ness,” added the minister rather bluntly; "for my Bible teaches me that a good man should clothe his wife, but he lets you go half naked!” A certain minister lately paid a visit to a lady of his acquaintance who was newly married, and who was attired in the modern fashion. After the usual compliments he familiarly said, " hope you hale got a good hus- “I am convinced," continued Mr. Redmond, "that so far as the western front is concerned we have got the upper hand definitely. I am also con- vinced that the war will come to an end sooner than most people believe." A despatch from London says: John Redmond, the Irish Nationalist leader, in a speech at Waterford, re- counted talks he had with Lord Kit- chener at the beginning of the war. Lord Kitchener said to Mr. Redmond.. "Can you guarantee me 5,000 men from Ireland; if you can, I will say thank you. If you can guarantee 12,000, I will say I am deeply obliged." _ -- _ "Serbia will win with the aid of the allies or die fighting," the statement said. "In a short time Serbia will be in a position to hurl 200,000 men against our enemies." EARLY END T0 WAR. JOHN REDMONIYS VIEW Simultaneously with the Foreign Minister's speech was the issuance of a statement by M. Ristich, Serbian Minister to Italy, emphatically deny- init reports of capitulation in Serbia. "Italy is not insensible to Serbia's distress. She is preparing to aid that heroic. country," was one of the out- standing points in Baron Sonnino’s speech. This position of the Italian Govern- ment was set forth by Foreign Minis- ter Sonnino. At the outset of his de. claration he announced that Italy for- mally signed the agreement to act jointly with the allies to the ond. Secondly, he asserted that Italian troops will be despatched to the aid of the Serbians, and "the Italian Mg on 'L'alltra sponda (The Dalmatian shore of the Adriatic) will reaffirm Italian interests in Albania, whose in- dependence is indispensable to the strategic defence of the Adriatic." Italy will make Albania her base of operations. Already a detachment of Italian troops has been landed at Aviona. Besides, she will co-operate with the Entontc powers "in the Eastern Mediterranean," which means an expedition to the Dardanelles, operations on the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic, or oven eventual aid against an invasion of Egypt. They Will Also Aid Against a Pos. sible Invasion of Egypt by Enemy. A despatch from Rome says: In addition to the oMeial announcement in the Italian Parliament that Italy had signed the agreement with her allies not to consider a separate peace, Baron Sydney Sonnino, the Foreign Minister, made the detinite statement that Italian military aid would be sent to Serbia, and hinted at a much greater activity on the part of the Italian army and fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean. ITALIAN TROOPS M (ihll,I,Pth,l Serbia has been almost completely overrun by the Austro-German and Bulgarian. forces. The . Serbian army has been driven into Montenegro after suffering heavy losses in their heroic resistance of the invaders. The Anglo-French Expeditionary forces still hold the southern part of Serbia, but their movements are being kept strictly secret. The surprise in the Balkans which Premier Asquith said was being prepared by the Allies has not yet developed. The attitude of Greece is anything but reassuring, probably on account of the Austro-German threat to invade Greets-Macedonian territory. . . . Conflicting reports continue to come from Rumania, which country, apparently, is still negotiating with both the Central Powers and the Entente allies. . . . Large additional reinforcements for the French and British are arriving daily at Saloniki, while the Rus- sian troops are reported as ready for a strong attack on Bulgaria. British troops are now only some ten miles from the ancient city of Bagdad. . On the western front there have been air duels and artillery exchanges, but no infantry engagements P force. The most violent fighting of the week has taken place on the Isonzo front, where the heavy Italian a.r.til- lery ls battering down the defences of Galicia and drawing additional Austrian troops to resist the Italian attack.

I The toll of young officers is espe- cially heavy just now, as the subal- terns of Kitchener's army, which is at last in action, are in great part lads out of the upper Schools and col. logos. Recent casualty lists show, to take one example, that out of 182 offi- cers killed in action, 102 were under 30 years of age, and of these 80 were under 26 years. There were 5 under 18 years, 10 aged 19, 13 aged 20 and Ir, aged 21 years. They included the sons of lawyers, clergymen, military officers, doctors and members of par- liament. Thirty-one of the lost werei only sons. - l " 'God bless you, sir!’ said the youngster. 'You've saved me from worse than death,' and he was pretty near crying when he said it." "Well, in three minutes that seared lad was fUrhting like a veteran, and cool as a cucumber, and when he saw it 'Bobs' started on. " 'You're all right now, my boy,' he said: 'you'll make a good soldier.' " 'There isn't as much danger as you imagine,' said he. 'Now, get up and take your rifle and fight, and I'll stand here beside you, That's too high,' says 'Bobs.' 'keep cool and try again.' "Any other commander would have sent the boy to the rear in disgrace. and that would have been the end of it; but 'Bobs' stood there with the bul.. lets flying around him, beside the boy, who had crouched down again, and thoughtfully stroked his chin. By and by he put his hand on the boy's shoulder. "'Woll, you’re a fine soldier'.' the general. Then he looked at boyish face of the lad, and his softened. q suppose you ean't it,' he said. " 'Halloa, there!’ says 'Bobs.' 'What's the matter, you fellow down there? Get up and fight with the eompanr' "'No, I can't!’ replies the kid. "'Can'tt.' says 'Bobs,' jumping down into the trench and hauling the boy up. 'What's the matter with you that you can't? Are you hurt? " 'No, sir,' says he. "I'm afraid of getting hit.' "Well, there was a kid in the com- pany that couldn't. have been over 18. Never ought to have let him 'list. He was always gr'owling and kicking, and at the first fire down he went flat on his face and stayed there. Then along came 'Bobs,' cool and easy, and sees the kid. " 'Bobs' was the boy for me. I found out what he was in Afghanistan. My company was digging trenches, and while finishing, one of the Afghans began firing, and the bullets whistled close to our heads. Interesting Story of the Late Lord Roberts. An English soldier tells the fol- lowing story of the late Lord Roberts on active service: "Talk about your TPnypders/', said Tommy Atkins.

But, as it is, the air scout has been hampered merely in his work, and this to no great extent, instead of being driven from the air." "Even a motor of 200 horse power --and this is almost the limit to-day--- gives none too much power for a large and heavy craft; and for this reason. if a machine has a gun and ammuni- tion, and carries in addition the weight of a pilot and a combatant, its pace may be so reduced that, when it seeks combat with some high-speed hostile scout, it will fly so slowly that the enemy-having no such burden to check his pace-can fly out of range, and so escape.

In a re- cently published book, "Airernft in the Great War," by Claude Grahame- White and Harry Harper, the authors discuss the possibilities of duels in the air. The Aeroplane May Yet Be Dominant Factor in the War. It is an acknowledged fact that a moving aeroplane is an abnormal dim- cult target, no matter from what dis- tance it is aimed at, because the air. man can easily adopt rapid and erra- Fifteen hundred thousand pounds of tin and 10,000,000 pounds of resin are also required. The value of the shell orders up to now has been $220,000,000, with additional orders of about $180,000,000, making $375,000,- 000 in all. The number of shells ship- ped to England so far has been 3,500,. 000. I At present nearly 100,000 persons are employed on orders amounting in all to 20,000,000 shells. The steel re- quired for the industry from now till the end of next year is 800,000,000 pounds, which will tax the capacity of the Dominion steel plants to the ut- most. Nearly 45,000,000 pounds of copper and brass are used, and 102,- 000,000 pounds of lead. This is more than Canada can produce of these metals, and the surplus must be im- ported. A despatch from Ottawa says: Some idea of the stupendous propor- tions to which the munitions industry in Canada has grown was given to the members of the Ottawa branch of the Canadian Society of Civil Engi- neers by Gen.

An article in the Windsor Magazine deals with the waratiine services of women, and the extent to which they have already been able to replace and release men for active service by un- dertaking their work at home. The wide range of activities in which this substantial service can be performed is carefully considered. In the cours- of his theme the writer says;---""') great war has given woman's life a new turn. She has seen tive great hospitals ut the Front entirely sup- plied and maintained by her own sex.

A fifth defendant, Felix Sefrner, supercargo on one of the neutral steamers sent to supply the German fleet, was not brought to trial.

The jury reached a decision seven hours after retiring.
