night after a brisk bombardment our infantry again carried Contalmaison by assault, taking 189 unwounded prisoners, including a battalion commander and four other officers.A strong counter-attack, delivered by the Germans during the night, was beaten back with heavy loss to the enemy, and the whole village is now in our hands.Furt,her east we stormed several lines of trenches in the Bois de Mamet?,, and the greater part of this large wood is now in our possession.Here we captured one howitzer, three field guns and 236 unwounded prisoners, including three officers.Heavy fighting continues in the Troncs Wood, In continuation of the report on aerial combats, on July 9 one of our aeroplanes was shot down by a direct hit fiom an anti-aircraft gun, and three other machines have not returned to our lines.MORE THAN 1300 IN TWO DAYS.\u2014 NO CHANGE TO-DAY.Paris, July 11.\u2014(Special) \u2014 The situation remained unchanged on the Somme front last night.The War Office statement of to-day says it has been ascertained that south of the Somme the French in the last two days have taken more than 1300 prisoners.BERLIN DENIES SAYS RUSSIANS HAVE NOT CAPTURED PINSK.Amsterdam, via London, July 11.\u2014 (Special) \u2014 A Berlin semi-official statement contradicts the Russian report of the capture of Pinsk.FRENCH CAPTURE IMPORTANT POINT NOW LOOK DOWN ON PERONNE FROM HILL 97.Paris, July 11.\u2014 (Special) \u2014 The Drench continue to report satisfactory progress in their great offensive in Picardy.Monday\u2019s operations again were confined to the southern echelon, which has consolidated and extended its hold upon the northern plateau opposite Peronne.The outflanking French success of the day was the rapture of all the German positions on Hill 97, the highest point of the plateau.The first French rush on Sunday carried them to the western slopes of this hill, on which they made good their footing, but the troops waiting there had been stopped until adequate preparation permitted an attack on the farm buildings at the summit, which the Germans had converted into a small fortress, being made with more speed and fewer casualties.They are now in full possession of this height, from which they look into Peronne 150 feet below.The result they claim from the day\u2019s fighting is command of the left bank of the Somme, from east of Feuilleres to a point opposite Kiaucourt, the Germans holding only a few positions on the edge of the river.This does not mean, French military critics admit, that Peronne nan be captured eut of hand.The Germans, according to the statements of prisoners, have constructed formidable defences outside the city, but the French believe that these are not likely to delay the capture long when General Foch decides the time is ripe to make it.French artillery already is beginning to throw a ring of fire around the city.How effective that artillery now has become is described by an officer attached to a heavy battery on the Somme front, who said: \u2018\u2018Thanks to our aviators, we never have been spotted by the enemy\u2019s air service since wc have been in our present position.Under these conditions our work is excellent.Objects aimed at are smashed with remarkable precision.For example, we have just fired four shells at a bridge more than fourteen miles away.Four times the aviation officers who\twere watching where our \u201cshipments\u201d arrived signalled us by wireless the simple word \u2018\u2018bridge.\u201d GERMANS FAIL AGAIN AT VERDUN Paris, July 11.\u2014 (Special)\u2014On tbc Verdun

FROM BERLIN REFERS TO FIGHTING ON ITALIAN FRONT\u2014AEROPLANES ACTIVE.Berlin (By Say ville wireless) \u2014 July 11.\u2014 (Special) \u2014 The official Austro-Hungarian statement of Monday reports the continuance of heavy : fighting on the Italian front.Monte I Como was captured by the Italians, but won back by Austro-Hungarian troops, which took prisoners 455 Italians.An Italian attack in the sec-| tor of Monte Interrotto failed.Aus-tro-Htingarian aeroplanes have again bombarded the Italian military establishment at Adria.The foregoing was not included in the Austrian statement of Monday as cabled last night.RUSSIANS ARE FORGING AHEAD MAKING SATISFACTORY PROGRESS IN EASTERN SMASH».Petrograd, July 11.\u2014An attack on General Bothmer\u2019s right has begun in the angle between the Lower Stripa and Dniester.Since the capture of Buczacz and the forcing of the Lower Stripa three weeks ago, this part of the front, which is held by the army of General Tcherbat-ch\u2019eB, had been fairly quiet.In the meantime General Litchit-sly\u2019s troops have been working hard continuing the deirulition of General Pflanzer\u2019s army, and after the seizure of Kolomea and advance to the De-latyn Railway succeeded last Monday in overthrowing the Austrians on the right hank of the Dniester, near Isakoff, south of Tcherbatcheft\u2019s left wing.Then came Tcherbatcbeft\u2019s turn and after a heavy bombardment he advanced, Litchitsky at the same time continuing to press the Austrians on the right bank of the Dniester.The result has been brilliantly successful.The Austrians were thrown back to the new line running almost due north and south formed bv the River Koropiec, a left hank, and the Sussodolietn, a right hank tributary of the Dnieseer.Five thousand pris-ers were taken, and at the village, of Bartniki, where the Germans used liquid Arc, Tcherbatcheft\u2019s men killed off all the Germans occupying the village and in the neighborhood took prisoners one thousand more.Bartniki is only two miles from Monnsterzyka, on the Buczacz Stan-isla Railroad, and Monastersyka is twenty-five miles east of Halicz, the important railway junction north of Stanislau.South of the Dniester the Austrians are trying to hold on to I he line Rykaezew Szocimirz, covering Tysmienica, a station on the Kolomea Stanislau Railway.The great gains for the Russians is that by their combined move they have entirely surmounted the most difficult section of the Dniester.FIGHTING HEAVY AND CONTINUOUS SOMME BATTLE CONSISTS OF STEADY METHODICAL PRESSURE London, July 11\u2014On both eastern and western fronts heavy fighting | persists.This is especially the case on the western front, where the struggle is not without fluctuations | I of fortune, and brings to mind the warnings of the correspondents from1 the opening days of the Somme bat He, that steady methodical pressure1 rather than brilliant advanees must be expected.The British oflldal statement tonight says that the Germans havCj (l unUuued an.Unus fi, ] DEMAND TO BE RETURNED TO LONDON OR SENT OVERSEAS.Camp Borden, Ont., July.H\u2014 Two thousand soldiers, most of them from London, organized a demonstration as a protest against having been brought to this camp and against the conditions under which they have been worked.The immediate cause of the riot was the rushing of preparations for the big review by Sir Sam Hughes.For the last week the ceremonial area, upon which the review is to be held, has been the scene of prodigious stumping and men have been put through rehearsals in the broiling sun, on a dusty plain.The trouble had been brewing since the return from the rehearsal at 2.30 and there was evidently some organization of the demonstration.Al>out two thousand men formed up in a straggling way near the lines of the London battalions, led by men waiving sticks and howling.Among the shouts could be heard such things as \u2018\u2018Do we like this hole ?\u201d \u201cNo, we can\u2019t get a wash.\u201d \u201cWe want wet canteens.\u201d \u201cWe want to go back to London.\u201d \u2018\u2018We won\u2019t sleep and live in dust for twenty-four hours.\u201d Brigadier-General Logie appeared with a list of complaints that had been handed to him on behalf of the men.The first, he said, was that they had not been allowed water bottles on the parade rehearsal.He promised that they should have the bottles to-morrow.\u201cWe want to go back to London,\u201d the men shouted, \"Or send us overseas.We might as well die there as choke here with dust.\u201d \u2018\u2018I cannot send you back or overseas.That is for the Government,\u201d said the General.Here the uproar prevented him saying more.CHARGED WITH BAYONETS.The officers then left and held a conference.The shouting continued, windows were broken and doors burst open at headquarters.Later many of the men went to their lines, hut.about three hundred loitered threateningly and the more pugnacious of them tried to force the rest up for a charge.Rifles and bayonets were visible in the dark and eight shots were fired from the lines of the 149th London Battalion, where the men were lined up.The eight cartridges were evidently blank.The 170th Toronto Battalion were out with bayonets fixed, and they made a rush toward the rioters.The latter turned and fled and some were taken prisoners.This seemed to settle mat ters and the riot gradually subsided about 11 o\u2019clock.SINK BRITISH PATROL BOATS REPORT COMES FROM AUSTRIAN ADMIRALTY OF SMALL SUCCESS.Berlin, (by wireless to Sayville) \u2014 July 11.\u2014 (Special) \u2014The Austrian Admiralty announced today that an Austrian cruiser had sunk four or five British armored patrol boats.Only nine men from the British vessels were rescued.The announcement follows : \u201cOur cruiser Novara met a group of four, or according to the declaration of prisoners, five armored British patrol boats off Otronto (at the lower end of the Adriatic) .All the patrol boats were destroyed by artillery fire.All the steamers sunk in flames, three of them after the explosion of their boilers.The Navara was able to rescue only nine men of the British.\u201d London, July 11.\u2014(Special) \u2014 Lloyds shipping agency announces that the British steamer Kara has been abandoned by her crew after striking a mine.The steamer Kara, of 2,338 tons gross was built in New castle in 1889 and owned in London.Complications Over Submarino AWAITS FULL REPORT\u2014IF BOAT IS NOT ARMED NO PROTEST.Washington, July 11.\u2014 (Special) \u2014 | No diplomatic complications were seen by Federal officials today in the : arrival at Baltimore of the German super-submarine Deutschland, if examination establishes the vessel is a ! merchantman and nothing else, A ruling on the craft\u2019s status will be made when a report coming from j Collector of Customs Ryan at Baltimore is gone over, probably within 36 hours.There were no prospects ; today that representatives here of the allied governments would protest if the submarine is held to be a merchant ship.The British and French embassies have asked the State Department to satisfy itself of the vessel's character but no protest against \\ the boat\u2019s entrance into American .waters was made.Navy olficers have been detailed to assist the Baltimore I Collector in examining the submarine.Officials put little faith in rumors that there might be objection to a close inspection of the boat on the ground that it was of a secret type of construction.DEMONSTRATED ! BRITISH SUPREMACY Comment Upon German Submarine Transatlantic Trip SHIPS OF ALLIED NATIONS SAIL THE SEAS.GERMANY\u2019S CRA W ij BENEATH THE WAVES.\\ London, July 11.\u2014(Special) \u2014 The ! morning newspapers, while expressing admiration editorially for the i feat of the German submarine Deutschland, insist that it cannot have the slightest military importance, nor can it be regarded as a demonstration of the ineffectiveness of the British blockade.The Morning Post recalls the fact that ten British submarines constructed in Canaha, crossed the Atlantic last summer.The paper gives an official admiralty report as its authority for it.It adds: \u2018\u2018It is not the case of this being the first \u2018trader submarine\u2019 to cross the Atlantic, inasmuch as it is known that she is merely an ordinary U-boat with her fighting equipment removed, \u201cIt does not open a new era for the submarine as a trader.The small amount of cargo carried, compared with the cost of the voyage, prevents it from being a commercial proposition.England commands the sea routes and, while the trade ships of every nation pass freely in safety, Germany has to crawl under the sea.It is the finest demonstration possible of the efficacy of our blockade.\u201d The Daily Graphic says: \u201cWhile the submarine trip does credit to German enterprise and seamanship, it leaves the maritime situation where it was before.The risk of disaster is immense, and the capacity of submarines to carry commodities which Germany needs is insignificant,\u201d -4- EMBARGO ON MUNITIONS ONLY IT 13 LIFTED ON SHIPMENTS TO MEXICO OF ALL OTHER GOODS.El Paso, Tex., July 11.\u2014Tba embargo on shipments to Mexico has been lifted, it wax announced at department headquarters last night, on everything

Boisvert is investigating the shooting affair which occurred at New Rockland last Friday, when Noah Plant was seriously injured.Further details of the incident which have come to light show that it was not through the accidental discharge of his own gun that Mr.Plant was injured, but that he was deliberately fired at and shot with a revolver by one of the three stran-gers.As stated in yesterday\u2019s Record, Plant discovered the men, who are believed to be gypsies, on his premises on the night in question.They had removed two wagons from the shed and hitched them to two horses which they brought with them, and which are also believed to have been stolen.FIRED ON VICTIM FROM REAR.In the altercation that followed.Plant took hold of his shotgun by the barrel and dealt the nearest man a blow on the head, rendering him unconscious.It was then that one of the other men fired on Plant from the rear, the shot entering his thigh just below the groin.Plant fell to the ground and was carried to the house by his nephew.Medical aid was summoned from Richmond and the victim was afterwards removed to the St.Vincent de Paul Hospital, Sherbrooke.THIEVES BOLTED.The thieves took to the woods, leaving the stolen horses and rigs behind them.PLANT'S CONDITION.On enquiry at the hospital this morning the Record learned that Plant is in a slightly improved condition, but is not yet out of danger.ARREST OF GUILTY PARTIES EXPECTED.The police are working on certain clues for the arrest of the men.One of the parties has, it is said, been recognized as an individual living at P.oxton Falls.Should the victim not recover a very serious charge may be laid against the party who did the shooting, in addition to the charge against the trio for the theft of the wagons and horses.MR.ASQUITH ON IRISH QUESTION Explains Compromise Agreement Which Has Been Arrived at HOW BRITISH MAKE SHELLS CANADIAN RED CROSS SOCIETY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MONTH OF JUNE.Early in the

11.\u2014At half past 3 yesterday afternoon Mr.Asquith rose to explain his new Irish proposals.Mr.Asquith spoke for about half an hour with extreme carefulness and with an obvious sense of the gravity of the occasion.The prime minister made it clear at the outset that he was not going to explain the provisions of the bill, hut only to indicate such changes as would be caused in the parliamentary act for the provision of home rule in ! Ireland.He began bv explaining that after the late disturbance in Ireland an opportunity had been presented to the cabinet of settling the Irish question in a way it felt it would be un-îwise to neglect.For this reason the cabinet had nominated Mr.Lloyd George to sound Sir Edward Carson as representing the Ulster party, and Mr.Redmond as representing the Nationalists, as to a means of agreement.It had been strictly laid down, however, that the negotiations were to bind nobody, but were to be subject ns it were to a referendum of the Ulster : party in general as well as to the Na-1 Itionalist party and the cabinet.An agreement having been reached on these lines it was intended to embody that agreement in a bill and to present it to the House.At the very beginning of Mr.Lloyd George\u2019s negotiations, he explained, it became evident that agreement could be reached on one basis and one basis only.That basis was the exclusion of the six parliamentary counties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderrv and Tyrone, as well as the three parliamentary boroughs of Belfast, Londonderry and Newry, from the operations of the bill.On this basis it was now proposed to amend the existing home rule act.and he would only say that agreement on these terms had been brought about solely through the feeling that in this time of war concessions must be made on all sides for the sake of the country and for the i successful carrying forward of the | war.' Two other points only he felt need ! be dwelt upon.The first point was that precautions would be taken, though personally he felt they were unnecessary under the existing act, to safeguard the supreme authority ! of the imperial authorities during the war, whilst the second point was that steps should be taken to make the bill provisional in case amend-1 ment should afterwards be desired, ! 1 though the provision would insist that no attempt should be made hereafter to Include these six counties and the three parliamentary boroughs in the act except by the general consent of all concerned.For the rest he would implore the House to recognize the seriousness of the moment and the unique opportunity for creating a peace which he hoped would do much to hind together all the portions of the United Kinedom in the future development of the empire.THREATENS SO.AMERICAN PEACE PERU AND VENEZUELA PLAN TAKING VAST LANDS FROM \\ COLUMBIA AND ECUADOR.Washington, July 11\u2014Official despatches received to day in Latin-Am-erican diplomatic quarters say a < secret agreement has been made be-: tween Peru and Venezuela with the object of taking vast tracts of land, rightful possession of which they i dispute with Colombia and Ecuador.! Grave fears for the peace of the nations involved were expressed.Industrial Organization Since War Starts Beats all Recnrds FRANCE AND RUSSIA SUPPLIED WITH VAST QUANTITIES\u2014 MADE PRESENT OFFENSIVE POSSIBLE.New York, July 11.\u2014 (Special) \u2014A despatch to the British Intelligence Department, received here, gives further extracts from the speech made by Mr.Kelloway, of the Munitions Department, at Bedford.He says: \u2018\u2018Germany has never done anything which equals the work in this country in the.way of industrial organization.During the past twelvs months eighty arsenals have been, built or adapted, and with the exception of a very few are now producing heavy howitzers, big shells on explosives.The weekly output of .303 cartridges is greater by millions than the annual output before the war.There is a certain machine gun being produced by the hundred every week, planned and built during the last twelve months, which had never been made in this country before 1915.\u2018\u2018France, Russia and Italy have been supplied by Great Britain wnth many of the most important munitions of war.Many thousand ton» of steel have been sent to France.One leading firm has a factory devoted entirely to the making provision for a particular gun of the French Government.\u201cRussia has been supplied with great quantities of grenades, rifle cartridges and guns and explosives, and some of these have been instrumental in enabling the Russians to make their great offensive.\u201d MAY START ZEPPLIN SERVICE GERMANY PLANS ANOTHER TRANSATLANTIC FLEET.Amsterdam, July 111.\u2014(Special)\u2014 It is reported here that a carefully thought out plan is under way la Germany to inaugurate in August a transatlantic Zeppelin service to supplement that established under tha sea.According to the report, the first airship to attempt the passage will be named the Z-Deutschland.It 1» said she may carry passengers, in addition to mails and a cargo of dyestuffs.ROOSEVELT OFFERS DIVISION COLONEL MAKES FORMAL AP-PLICATION FOR AUTHORITY TO ORGANIZE FORCE FOR MEXICAN WAR.New Yo'k, July \u2022 11.\u2014Theodora Roosevelt has made forma) aoplica-t\u2019on to the War Department for authority to raise a division of troop» in the event cf war with Mexico.Mr.Roosevelt\u2019s application is for g reinforced infnntry division, with permission to mount one anl possibly two of the three infantry brigades.-H- The Weather -I Light to moderate winds fine and warm.H-i-S-W fr-r-r-\u2019rt.:-i-i-K -K-H-H-4 117™ EASTERN TOWNSHIPS BAI TALION -
