U.S. TROOPSHIP TORPEDOED Many of the troops came from Chiâ€" cago and Cleveland and a large perâ€" centage of them were factory hands of foreign extraction. Their behavior proved that they had assimilated the true spirit of the American soldier. A despatch from . London says:â€" The British steamship Persic, of the White Star Line, 12,042 gross tons, with 2,800 American troops on board, has been torpedoed. _ All hands were saved. â€" The troopship was beached.

The Northern War Areaâ€"A‘} eyes are now centred upon the western front but important events are taking place on the "northern front" also. Here is a new map of the Murman coast from which important news may be anticipated any day. 9 Ne "Every foot of available steamship space," says the department, "is reâ€" quired for the transportation of men, munitions and food. Canadian apples as well as many other articles of food are not considered essential, and unâ€" til shipping facilities are in a much more stable condition than at present all efforts to modify the apple emâ€" bargo must be futile." A despatch from Paris says:â€"The harvest in the reconquered or evacuatâ€" ed regions along the Aisne, begun by the French armies on September 3, is now almost completed, according to information furnished by Premier Clemenceau to the budget committee of the Chamber. _ Two armies reaped 85,000 acres, and there remain 6,000 with crops still standing. _ More than 8,000 men have been employed, as well as 11,000 horses and 314 reapers and binders. REAP 35,000 ACRES OF RECONQUERED LAND A despatch from Ottawa says:â€"A definite announcement is made by the Department of Agriculture that there is no possibility of removal or modiâ€" fication of the embargo on the shipâ€" ments of apples and other fruits to Great Britain until shipping condiâ€" tions change for the better. To the surprise of most of the solâ€" diers the troopship did not sink. Some means apparently were found to check the inrush of water, and she got near enough to the shore to be beached. It is hoped that the vessel ultimately can be salved. after one of the depth bombs exploded and then entirely disappeared. NO MODIFICATION OF APPLE EMBARGO "In spite of the strong wind several attempts were made to bomb targets along this front. Bombs were dropped on the railway at Courcelles and diâ€" rect hits were attained on the tracks. The village.of Verney (south of Metz) and the railway west of it were also bombed with good results." BRITISH MAKE IMPORTANT 'l ~ . PROGRESS TOWARD CAMBRAI!, Ham Wrecked by Infernal Maâ€" chines Placed by Enemy. A despatch from French Army Headquarters says:â€"Ham, the largest town in the devasted country which the Germans spared in their retreat, was visited with destruction even more complete and less justifiable than Noyon, which they methodically destroyed by fire. _ When the inhabitâ€" ants were . evacuted infernal ~maâ€" chines were placed in the houses and fires started by pressing buttons miles away. BRITISH DROP BOMBS PRESSED BUTTONS MILES AWAY Save for the blowing up of the bridges Ham had not suffered previâ€" ously by shell fire, neither side beâ€" ing interested in bombarding the place. The only excuse the Germans could make, that it blocked the roads against pursuit, is invalid. The desâ€" truction of the bridges alone made it impossible for the French to enter the town until.they had been replaced. A despatch from London says: The reports from the headquarters of the independent air forces says: British Battery Work Superbâ€" Allies Destroyed Ten Guns to German‘s One. A despatch from London says:â€"All indications on the British front point to the intention of the Germans to deâ€" fend their positions in the highly organized battle zone of the Germans‘ old positions and the Hindenburg line, inundating the country where that is possible. _ Doubtless, â€"however, they are considering the establishment of a strong line farth@r back with the big towns of Douai, Cambrai and St. Quentin as pivots. Before the Hindenburg system now held by the Germans can be successâ€" fully dealt with, much reconstruction of communications will be necessary. But this is not viewed as a great task owing to the speed of the British enâ€" gineers who are now engaged in the preliminaries of this work. In the recent advance the British fired more than 10,000,000 shells in four weeks. â€" As a result the enemy‘s wire was cut with greater thoroughâ€" ness than ever before, and the British counterâ€"battery work, according to the German statement, destroyed ten guns to the Germans‘ one. FIRED 10,000,000 IN 30 DAYS It is pointed out that the Germans since July 14 have shortened their line approximately 70 miles, thereby saving between 80 and 40 divisions. A further shortening however, is not imâ€"> possible. _ Hence, the, British expect strong resistance and counterâ€"attacks to continue. . . _ _A despatch from the British Armies in France says:â€"Our troops on Thursâ€" day stormed thci'g- way into the forâ€" ward defences of the Hindenburg line at Havrincourt, .

This means that many available soldiers will have only a few weeks at home. SMALL GAS SHELL OF DEADLY INTENSITY A despatch from Washington says: While American soldiers. at the front in France stood ready with French and British forces for what may prove the greatest battle of the war, 13,000,000 other Americans registered toâ€"day for military duty, and gave the most inspiring demonstration of patriotism in the nation‘s history. There was no delay in starting the machinery by which the manâ€"power of the country will be made available to bring the war to a speedy and triâ€" umphant end. Out of the tremendous bulk of men who respondedâ€"with every race and creed representedâ€" there will come soon from camps at home three millions and more fit for warfare and eager to go overseas.

We also established a post in Canteleur, a little west of La Bassee. We attacked at Moeuvres on Wednesâ€" day evening, and in the face of vigorâ€" ous opposition succeeded in establishâ€" ing a post on the east side of the Canal du Nord.
