TERRIBLE “AVOC WROUGHT LN EXPLOSION AT LILLE A despatch from London says: The Amsterdam correspondent of The Ber- lin Lokal Anzelger, who witnessed the recent explosion of the large German ammunition depot in Lille, northern France, describes the damage done as enormous. Not only was the muni- it,'),', depot entirely destroyed, but Voc was caused in the surrounding area to houses and factories, most ot which were razed to the ground. The German Landsturm troops which were guarding were killed. A despatch from Melbourne, Aus- tralh, Barr. A proclamation has been issued prohibiting all exports to the Netherlands. AI'STRALIA I‘ROHIBITS EXPORTS TO NETHERLANDS For four years and four months he remained there, but finally turned up attain in Largo while his parents were at church. So to church he went Alexander, and seated himself directly behind his father and mother. The good lady, on turning round and re- cognizing her son, caused the service to be interrupted by her cries of as- ionishment! While at home, Selkirk fell in love with, and married, Sophie Druce. But he did not settle down. After a very ghort while they both disappeared from Largo. Selkirk was born in the little Fife- shiro village of Largo, in 1676, and from almost his earliest days the un- conventional and adventurous spirit ot the boy brought forth the wrath of his neighbors. When he was about eighteen he de.. cided that he would go to sea, and, having refused utterly to follow his father's trade of shoe-making, he quit- ted his native village. Two years later we tind him (at his own request.') being marooned on a lonely island af- ter a violent quarrel with the captain of the ship on which he was making his second voyage. Nothing more was heard ot them until one day, years later, a young woman arrived in Largo, saying she was Alexander Selkirk’s second wife, and had come to claim her belongings. She proved that Sophie Bruce had died some years previously, and that now Alexander himself had also pas- sed away on board his Majesty's ship Weymouth, on which he was a lien- knant. _ ' The otBeial report Rives details of the dislodgement of the Turks from a ntrontt position over a front of 66 miles, extending from the region of Lake Tortun to the region of Charian- Ion River, north of Melazghert. The Ottomans retreated in the direction of the fortified plain of Erzerum. At many places this retreat assumed the character of a panic flight. Several Turkish units were almost annihilated, and hundreds of bodies cover the route of the Russian offensive. At many points the Czar's troops lid to advance on heights above the clouds. cutting trenches in the deep mow during heavy snowstorms. They occupied the village of Koprukeui, on the Arax, 30 miles east of Erzerum. In tho course of the fighting on the 17th the Russians took prisoner five officers and 208 men, and captured Inn-h material, including machine guns and caissons. They seized a Turl.iut ammunition depot at the vil- lage of Tsurnachel, in the Charianson district. A despatch from Petrograd says: The Russian offensive in the Caucusus is developing favorably, the Rus.si.ans capturing strong Turkish positions with relatively slight losses and tak- ing from the. enemy muny guns, hutee quantities of munitions, and numerous prisoners.

The London Daily Express an- nounces it is authorized to state that since the beginning of the war four- teen battleships and battlecruisers, all super-dreadnoughts, have been added to the British fleet, as well as a large number of minor warships, de.. signed to meet the demands which have developed during the course of the great eontliet. In some parts of France where the fighting has been m'ost severe and the trenches but a short distance apart only a few men are permitted to look through the apertures. These men are sharpehooters and the "spotters." The warfare consists largely in throw- ing small bombs or grenades. By the new use of the old guns every trench now, to all intents, is occupied by a small battery and the men of various sections vie with some other in try- ing to win a high score of "hits." New Version of Barnlong Muir Pub- lished In Norse Paper. A despatch from London says: The Cirntrnl News correspondent in Chris.. tianiu says: The After Posten on Friday published from its London correspondent a new version of the Barnlong affair which he received from a reliable source.

The war has brought to European war fields many new inventions in tighting implements. The new guns sent many of tho old pattern back to the storehouses. At first the govern- ments ftgured these old guns as losses and steps were taken to break them up and sell them for scrap. Now, however, a use for the old guns'hns been found. After being polished up and oiled a simple con- trivance, the major part of which con- sists of a strong spring, is attached to the trigger. When the gun is tilted at any angle and braced with any heavy object it makes an excellent grenade thrower. - ,, _ The latest plans for air raiding call for heavy and fast machines. The driver or pilot is occupied in dodging the ttunfire directed upon his machine. Behind him sits the man who is an expert bomb thrower. The bomb ex- plodes on contact and its flight is di- rected by a set of wings at one end. It is claimed that after a few months more of practice the bomb throwers will become more expert and will prove a deadly menace to their enemies. LS. MULETEERS KILLED GERMAN SUB. SAILORS It was freely predicted that in the event of war the flying machine would put at naught the efforts of invading armies, as the aviators would invade the enemy's rear and by dropping bombs destroy all supply trains, re- serve artillery and stores Mid cut off the advance lines' connections with their bases of supplies. But the aviators of Europe have won their medals more often for dur- ing work in securing Information than they have for bomb raids. When the war opened a bomb of most any size or shape was thought to he sufficient to meet the needs of the aerial fighters. However, the ex- perts found that wind currents, heights and the great speed of the flyers gave the bomb throwers but slight chance of hitting their mark. "Scarcely any Taubes are now used. The new birds of prey were first seen in force shortly after the last Ger.. man gns attack. when several flew over the position that had been attack- ed and were greatly admired." The Present War “as Reduced It To a Science. One of the greatest disappoint- ments of the war to the experts has been the inefficiency of the flying ma- chine in carrying the struggle into the enemy's country. - ker. It is thought to be capable of 180 miles an hour, and is equipped with a device whereby it is enabled to shoot directly in front-a great ad- vantage in air fighting.

If the latter achieve upon one of these two great lines a real decision, well and better for them. If they really defeat-put out of action-the Western or the Rus- sian forces opposed to them, they can then concentrate upon the other, and perhaps defeat that in its turn. On the other hand, the two great lines, the Eastern and Western, ually offer "l opportupity for the omen. He, however, believes still in the possibility of a settlement which shall leave Prussianized Germany intact and secure from future chal- lentte--that is, free to continue its growth and menace to others. Military Aspects. The great main forces of the Teu- tons and of the allies stand, and must necessarily stand, in Poland and in France, that is, upon the Eastern and Western lines of the great tsiege. He no longer talks of European domination. He now talks of an "honorable" peace. He now empha- sizes the uselessness of bloodshed and the wickedness of slaughter--- ideas hitherto wholly foreign to Prus- sian history. It is believed possible b that high- er command that political, action, or the political effect of his military posi- tion in .the near future, will permit him to save the Prussian State and its dependents. He does not hope for more. Of his plan as a whole he now knows that he has failed in that rapid action which was his one clearly thought- out scheme. He failed to surround, pierce or put out of action in any fashion the French armies. Therefore, his war, which was to have been the end of a trilogy. the short, sure, triumphant and conclusive chapter parallel to, but greater than, the chapters of 1866 and 1870, has become an immensely expensive, not yet disastrous, but al- ready very doubtful thing. Take it for all in all, the general attitude of the German higher com- mand at this moment admits the pos- sibility of winning through. The German higher command at this moment may possibly suffer from similar misjudgments of mental fac- tors in the situation. But he has be- fore him certain elements of calcula- tion which he cannot ignore. In order to see the situation as it is, the bait way is always to take the point of view of the foe's higher command. Napoleon Bonaparte during the first days of his occupation of Mos- cow in 1812 certainly exaggerated the chances in his favor, and was subject to illusions both upon the Russian character and utun the mere mathematics of the military situation. If, however, one forgets this ir- rational mood into which a portion of the public has fallen and con- siders the situation as it is, then it is precisely the factor of time which appears as an advantage to the alliance. TEUTONS WEAK IN VULNERABLE SPOT The uncertain temper of many peo- ple in England at the present moment is duo, not to calculable definite mill. tary forces the interplay of which they could define, but to nothing more than the efrlux of time. It is the succession of days and weeks without events upon which anxiety can fasten for relief that has pro- duced this mental effect. They have been taught that victory was a matter of course, taking place far from these shores. It is no wonder that upon such startling misconceptions (and they were very common) of European war, the development of the present campaign should have bred disap- pointment. The two chief elements in that disappointment have been to this section of opinion the neces- sity for endurance and the obvious possibilities of failure. GERMANS CANNOT FURNISH MEN ENOUGH.

An exhibition of man-hunting was given for the benefit of the lst Siberian Corps. A soldier was directed to hide in a clump of bushes two blocks dis- tant in a field. The sanitar released the dog and directed him in the tren- eral direction of the spot. After mak- ing several wide circles the animal caught the scent and made straight for the hiding-place at top speed, re- turning presently with a glove. The sanitar tucked I small package in the saddle pocket and away went the dog on his return journey. The sanitar, to carry out the deception, followed, Ind appeared to assist the hiding men, while the dog looked on with apparent interest. In times of inactivity of the troops the dogs are frequently used to convey dispatches from one section of the Column to another, and always per- form their task with unerring fidelity. During battle even under heavy fire they search out the wounded by scent, and the sanitars may be certain the man to whom they are led is still alive, since the dogs instinctively ig- nore the dead. Having found a wounded man the animals will carry his cup or a mitten back to the sani- tar, who follows to the spot. Each animal wears a pair of miniature sad- dle bags, in which he carries flasks of brandy. The dogs had been brought from London by authorities of the city of Vernaya for use in tracking down thieves and murderers, with which the place was infested. Within a few weeks they enabled the police to round up these criminals. One dog, who still retains his English name "Jack," slightly Russianized, was several times sent to Moscow, Kief and Odes- sa to similarly aid the police of those cities. Six Bring in " Russians to Red Cross In One Night. English police dogs, of which there are six attached to the let Flying Column of the Russian Red Cross, have proved their worth in many in- stances on Russian battlefields, writes an Associated Press correspondent at Petrograd. In one night, near the village of Kute (vicinity of Lovitch), these wise animals hunted out in grain fields, over which the battle surged. and brought relief to 49 wounded men.

He knows that the two great fronts, Eastern and Western, are the only theatres of war in which a decision can appear. The two central empires must keep upon the Western lines (counting the Italian front), close upon 2,250,- 000 men. They must keep something more than this upon their Eastern front. They must allow, say 1,500,- 000 men for their combined communi- cations. They are beginning to draw upon their first categories of inefrieients, and they keep in reserve what re- mains of their younger clam 1916, while preparing to call up at any moment the still younger class 1917. The German position is simply this: That, with the end of the year 1916, they have exhausted their effi- cient reserves. THE HERRING INDUSTRY.

The net result of this, he said, was only a decrease in national eiheieney. Will Not Be Allowed to Do Business During the War. A despatch to London says: The Board of Trade, under the bill amend- ing the "Trading With the Enemy" Acts, will be empowered to prohibit any person, firm or company of hos- tile nationality or associutions from carrying on business in this country during the continuance of the present war." "Sir Alfred expressed the highest satisfaction at the tutnouneetttent of Walter Runciman, president of the Board of Trade, that articles not strictly necessary might have to be shut out of the country. “I do not believe," Sir Alfred con- tinued, "that the supply of either ships or transport facilities ashore can be increased to any great extent without encroaching on what is re- quired for the effective prosecution of the war. At present the strain on port and inland transport facilities is almost greater than the strain caused by the shortage in tonnage. Nt is doubtful whether we could get more merchandise into the coun- try even if we had more. tonnage, for the reason that we cannot handle the tstuff. More tonnage would only add to the list of steamers in port waiting to find berths. The competition for heights can only be reduced by the elimination of the demand for article: now necessary for the support of the country or the conduct of the war. Otherwise freight rates will rise still further." ALL ENEMY FIRMS LORD DERBY'S TRIBUTE.
