front, according to an official communication issued at Nish, Servia, and forwarded to the Havas Agency here.The fighting in which the Servians were the victors, according to the statement, occurred near Belgrade.The communication follows : i \"Strong forces of the.enemy occupied the small island of Ada Tziglia, near Belgrade, on January 3.Small detachments of our troops surprised and routed the Austrians during the night of January 4, capturing 45! soldiers, a sergeant-major and - two ! sergeants.Our loss was insignifi- cant.Beyond this engagement there is nothing important to report on any

Carpathian forest lands and in the southern part of the crown lands of Bukowina, regard for the safety of our advance troops obliged us to fall hack on the principal mountain passes before an enemy numerically superior to our-1 selves.On the Hungarian-Galician front everything is quiet.In the higher districts there is some frost and snow.\u201d GERMAN\u2019S NEW ATTACK ON YPRES TERRIBLE ARTILLERY FIRE MARKED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW MOVE.Paris, Jan.8.\u2014 Terrific artillery fire marked the development of a new\u2019 I attack by the Germans upon the Allies\u2019 position to the southeast of Ypres.Heavy rain continues to fall in Flanders, and the infantry reinforcements which are moving towards Dix-tnude had to march ankle deep in water.The transporting of ammunition and other supplies is difficult by reason of the roads, and the troops necessarily suffer hardship and continual discomfort.Vast areas are flooded, and the hooded portions of the district are daily being added to by the downpour.The conditions nre such ns are having a deplorable effect upon the health of the soldiers, and cases of illness are frequent, due to exposure and wet.GERMANS ADOPT SIEGE WARFARE IN CAMPAIGN AGAINST RUSSIANS.Petrograd, Jan.8.\u2014The following statement from the Russian General FRENCH OFFICIAL STATEMENT.Paris, Jan.8.\u2014 (Special) \u2014 The French War Office gave out the following statement this afternoon : \"The artillery of the enemy shown during all the day of Jan.7th,great activity in Belgium and in the vicinity of Arras.The French artillery responded spiritedly and efficaciously.Our infantry made some progress near Lombaertzyde.We occupied at a point fifty yards in advance of our trenches, a hillock which had been held by the enemy.\u201cTo the east of St.Georges we gained ground, and we inflicted serious damage on the trenches of the enemy in the vicinity of Ste.En-streate.UP TO SHOULDERS IN WATER.\"In the Sector of Arras at the for-| est of Rethonval, without being attacked, we were compelled to eva-cuate certain trenches where our men were up to their shoulders in sand and W'ater.\u201cTo the left of Boisselle our line of trenches has been moved forward and we occupied the road from Boisselle to Avelmy.In the valley of the Aisne the artillery exchanges yesterday were quite spiritedly.Our heavy artillery secured good results near Blanc Sablon.At this point the mine throwers of the enemy inflicted losses on us, but in the afternoon we checked this fire from the Germans.\"In the Sector of Rheims to the west of the Forest des Zouaves wre blew up a blockhouse and occupied a new trench 300 yards in advance of our lines.The artillery engagement between Bethany and Prunay wras conducted yesterday with great fierceness.The Germans left many dead on the field.Our losses were not heavy.\"Between Jonchery Sur Suippe and Sousin, wre time and again reduced to silence the artillery of the enemy, demolished his trenches and destroy- j ed his breastworks.In the Argonne to the West of Haute Chevauche the enemy by means of a mine blew up some of our first line trenches w\u2019bich were completely demolished.A violent attack undertaken at once by the enemy on our positions was repulsed with the bayonet.We took some prisoners and we maintained our front except for a distance! of eighty yards.Our offensive continued yesterday in the region of Thann and near Alt-kirch and brought important results.We reoccupied the trenches on the eastern flank of hill 425, a Position where the enemy two days ago succeeded in re-establishing himself.We then gained some ground to the east of these trenches.Further to the south we occupied Burhauspt-Le-Hautf and at the same time we made pro-, gress in the direction of Pont Das-pache and the Khalherg.The artillery of the enemy which had endeavored without success to reach our batteries gave over shooting at our artillery in favor of the exclusive bombardment of the hospital at Thann, which has been evacuated.PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE Notwithstanding Financial Stress Province Has Surplus of Substantial Proportions PROVINCIAL TREASURER MITCHELL WAS INTRODUCED TO THE HOUSE BY PREMIER UOUIN.Quebec, Jan 8.\u2014One of the features of the Speech from the Throne read yesterday at the opening of the Legislature is the statement by the Government that despite the financial stress a surplus of substantial proportions for the year ended last June has been secured.This will form the subject of an interesting debate later on, especially when the Opposition begins its attack.The business transacted in the Lower House was largely of a routine nature.Six departmental reports were brought down and the customary resolutions were adopted.The first of the two new members introduced by Premier Gouin and Hon.Mr.Decarie was Hon.W.G.Mitchell, provincial treasurer, who succeeds the late Hon.P.S.G.Mackenzie.Mr.Fabien Bougeaud, M.L.A.for Bonaventure, was also introduced and took his seat.Premier Gouin proposed the appointment of the standing committees, and among those who are to make the selections of the members are the Premier and Mr.Tellier and a committee of ten.Speaker Delage announced as a formality that writs had been issued for the counties of Soulanges, St.Louis, Montreal and Temiskaming.The dates for these by-elections will be made known later by the Government.REMOVING U.S.GRIEVANCE Great Britain, Italy and the Ne- Prevalence of Meningitis Among 1,000 CANADIANS IN therlands Have Reached Agreement GEN.VILLA\u2019S IFIRST DEFEAT HE wWAS PERSONALLY IN COMMAND AT MARTE.\u2014TROOPS IN RETREAT.Eagle Pass., Tex., Jan.8.\u2014General Francdsco Villa was in command of the force which General Antonio T.Villareal and Maclovio Herrera defeated on January 5 at Marte, between Saltillo and Torreon, it was reported to-day, and it was the first severe defeat of Villa\u2019s career.Despatches received last night at pied-ras Negras, the Mexican town across the border from here, announcing Villa\u2019s defeat, said his twenty-five thousand troops were in full retreat from Torreon.It was declared the Carranza troops numbered only fifteen thousand.month that has been passing has been reducing the period if Roumania's inevitable co-operation with the Allies.Only cold, practical facts have kept Roumania aloof so far.RUSSIANS NOW INVADE HUNGARY WAR ATLAS A FEW LEFT.The Record baa a few War Atlases left which will be distributed to first applicants.This Atlas contains colored maps of all the warring countries.It Is really an Atlas of the World, and made by the famous map-inakerB, Rand & McNally.22c and One Coupon.Staff was issued last night : \"On the left bank of the Vistula on January 6th there was an almost general lull along the front of Bochaczew-Boli-mow, where only desultory fighting took place.\"The Germans, with a view to approaching our positions, are endeavoring to appl- the processes of siege Warfare.In certain places they advanced by sapping, and are resorting, for protecting themselves, to steel shields.\u201cIn the region of the village of Sochaczew the Germans, who on the night of the 6th captured part of our trenches, were forced out of tbomt in the morning by bayonet attacks.In the course of this fighting we captured five quick firers and a number of prisoners.In Galicia the situation is without important change.\"In Bukowina we continue our offensive.\u201d ROUMANIA\u2019S SIGNIFICANT MOVE.Paris, Jan.8.\u2014It is learned from a private source, but from one worthy of credence, that arrangements whereby the interests of Roumania In Berlin and Vienna will he attended to by the United States diplomatic service have been definitely made.This can mean but one thing in the opinion of the Roumanian Legation here, that Roumania would prefer to wait until the Russian progress througn Bukowina has been further developed across the Carpathians.Roumania, though ready to place üUO.OoO troops in the fighting line immediately, is not wealthy enough to face unmoved the prospect of a long war.Every TURKS\u2019 DEFEATS MEAN THAT THEY WILL STAY AT HOME ON DEFENSIVE London, January 8\u2014 A complete change in the situation in the near east may be brought about by the Russian victory over the Turks in the Caucasus.If the Turkish defeat has been as sweeping as has been of-ficiallv reported\u2014the virtual destruction of two, and the repulse of a third army corps\u2014the Turkish menace against the Russians in Trans-! Caucasia has been removed, and the loss of so many of their best trained officers and men, it is believed here, will compel the Turks to give up any ambitions they had of invading their enemys\u2019 territories and concentrate on the defence of their own country.RUSSIANS INVADE HUNGARY Military men, however, are taking even greater interest in the Russian invasion of Humrarv .-u-ough l-zsok] Pass in the Carpathians and ^heir rapid advance on Transylvania through Bukowina simultaneously, with their movement towards Cracow\u2019.These combined operations are the most gigantic undertaken in the war.In the meantime the Russians are held by the Austro-Germans in Western Galicia, and Field-Marshal %\u2019on Hindenburg, the German commander in Northern Poland, can move but slowly because of the mud, in his offensive operations against Warsaw.CANNOT MOVE ARTILLERY A despatch from Petrograd says that aviators have observed German artillery at the frontier railway sta-i tions which cannot be moved (in ac-l count of the softness of the roads.It has been suggested that the Ger-j mans intend to use the Vistula for the transport of their guns, but with the Russians in possession of the northern bank this obviously i would be Impossible.LITTLE CHANGE IN FLANDERS' Although the fighting has been in-1 tense at many points on the western front, there is little or no change in' Flanders, where the fields and roads are under several feet of water.in that territory only artillery has been able to work, but in Northern France between Lille and Arras, there has been some hard fight ng in which trenches have changed hands more than once.Hard fighting, too, continues in Alsace, where the French claim to have advanced a little toward Alt-kirsch.They have apparently got no further along the Cernay road from Stcinbach.DANGER OF ENEMY SECURING CONTRABAND ARTICLES THROUGH TWO COUNTRIES NAMED IMPOSSIBLE.Washington, Jan.8.\u2014Arrangements between Great Britain, Italy and the | Netherlands have been completed whereby commerce to the latter two countries from the United States is expected to undergo a minimum of molestation.The steps taken by Great Britain, and announced in statements from both the the British Embassy and the State Department, to remedy some of the complaints made by the United States in its recent note to Great Britain and the plans enunciated, encouraged admin-; istration officials in the hope that commerce with the Scandinavian countries and other neutral nations, also would be improved.The statements indicate that so far as Italy and Holland are concerned, the British Government now believes the danger of getting contraband articles through those countries to Germany and Austria has practically been removed.Should effective measures be agreed upon between the Allies and the other neutrals of Europe, American commerce, it is thought by British officials, will not be subject to the delays and interference complained of in the American note.American Minister Van Dyke, at The Hague, cabled during the day, that the British, French and Russian ministers had given formal assurances that merchandise, even of a contraband character, would not be molested on the high seas if consigned to the recently established Nether-! lands monopoly.GERMAN CRUISER INTERNED AT 1 LAS PALMAS.Paris, January 8.\u2014(Special)\u2014 A Madrid despatch to L\u2019Information, states that the German auxiliary; cruiser Otavi has been interned at Las Palmas, Canary Islands.MALTREATMENT OF BELGIAN CLERGYMEN London, Jan.8.\u2014(Special)\u2014At the request of the Belgian legation in London the British Press Bureau to- ! day issued details of allegations of the maltreatment of Catholic clergy in Belgium and the destruction o?their institutions by German troops, j This statement says that churches' and religious houses were destroyed or profaned in almost every village j and in many towns where the German troops passed.In most cases the edifices were utilized as stables and prisons, and when not placed in safe hiding the sacred vessels were stolen.Members of First Contingent Cause of Alarm IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THE AUTHORITIES HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE MEN FROM SALISBURY.London, Jan.8.\u2014The prevalence of spinal meningitis in the camps is causing considerable uneasiness, and it is understood that the authorities have decided to move the entire Canadian contingent to some other part of England in order to prevent an epidemic.Over one thousand Canadians are in the hospitals, twenty of them having meningitis.The artillery and cavalry have already moved to various villages in the Salisbury district, the men being billeted in the houses.The divisional staff officers have moved to Shrewton.Lieut.R.D.Briscoe, of Edmonton, was accidentally shot and killed at the rifle ranges.He was behind the targets when a stray shot struck him.Death was instantaneous.The persistency of the rumor in Salisbury and London that the Princess Patricias have been badly cut up, with casualties of forty per cent., is absolutely untrue.The Patricias have not yet been in action.Private W.J.Dodson, of Toronto, has secured a commiseiqp in Kitchener's army.Father O\u2019Leary, the veteran Can adian chaplain of the Boer war, has been compelled to return to Canada because of illness.SITOATION IN TURKISH CAPITAL IS FARMING Local Authorities Appear to Apprehend That Internal Disorders Will Break Out OFFICIALS OF THE GOVERNMENT PREPARED TO MOVE TO PLACE OF SAFETY AT SHORT NOTICE.Sofia, Bulgaria, January 8, via London \u2014 (Special) \u2014 Despatches' reaching here Horn Constantinople describe the situation in the Turkish i capital as increasingly alarming.j The local authorities appear to | apprehend not only attacks from thej outside, but internal disorders us well.The archives of the state have been packed up ready for removal from the city, and many of them already have been sent away.Preparations have been completed also for the removal of the treasury, and locomotives are kept constantly under steam in thn railway yards oi Stamboul to meet the possible necessity of conveying the officials of the government to a place of safety at short notice.GERMANS GET ANOTHER SET BACK London, January 8.\u2014Mr.Frederick Rennett, the Daily News correspondent at Petrograd, telegraphs : \"The German attacks on.the Bzura and Rawka rivers have, for the last fortnight, been steadily weakening, tremendous losses having reduced their strength.JtTbe Russians on Tuesday took the offensive in northern Poland.With brilliant success they surprised the Germans\u2019 leading column on the river Rosrova, west of the road between iPryemzsl and Mlawa, and drove it back with heavy losses before it was able to prepare resistance.\"Many prisoners were taken by the Russians, who are now pressing in force close to the heels of the German northern army.This victory is of great value, since it has upset the first move of Marshal Von Hinden-berg\u2019s new scheme which be had conceived since the direct attack along the Warsaw roads had been abandoned.\u201cReports reach Oressa that the Turkish failure is arousing dangerous fermentation among the mob at Constantinople, where secret arming is going on.\u201d ROUMANIA TO THROW IN LOT WITH ALLIES London, January 8.\u2014 (Special)\u2014, The Morning Post\u2019s special correspondent in Paris declares Roumania has decided to throw in her lot with the Allies.He telegraphs a statement by Mr.; Diamandy to the effect that the Ron- ( manian people have made up their1; minds and that active participation by the Roumanian army against | Germany and Austria-Hungary is assured.FORMIDABLE TORPEDOED Definite Opinion M Battleship Was Struck Twice Before Sinking FORMER FIRST LORD OF THE AD*; MIR ALT Y SAYS CHADDOCK\u2019S FATE WAS A BLUNDER.London, January, 8.\u2014The Marquis of Orewe announced in the House of ' Lords yesterday that it was the de-i finite opinion of the British Admir-l alty that the battleship Formidable j had been sunk by two torpedoes discharged by a submarine., The Earl of Selbourne, former First Lord of the Admiralty, in an address < in the House of Lords, had described' the despatch of Sir Christopher Ohaddock\u2019s squadron to the iPacific as' a blunder, as the.squadron, he said, ; was wholly incompetent for the task ! assigned to it, to destroy the German' warships there.He then asked for more information concerning the loss of the battleships Formidable and Bulwark and data about other naval operations.The Marquis of Crewe said he could not add anything to what Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, had said in the House of Commons.Before adjournment, however, the Marquis said that in the opinion of the Admiralty the Formidable had been struck, by two torpedoes fired by a submarine.He added that the captain of the Formidable had sent signals to the other ships not to stand by, which was taken to mean that submarines w\u2019ere in the vicinity and that they might suffer the same fate as his ship.There were now only two German eruisers and two armed merchantmen to carry on commerce raiding, the Marquis of Crewe said, and they could not long escape the Allies\u2019 ships.The manning of new ships, including monitors, he added, had.been completely provided for.-.THE VATICAN IS AROUSED DENIES ARREST OF CARDINAL MORE THAN ENOUGH ! If (tie Generosity of tiie Good Old Eastern Townships Continues Another Ambulance Must be Ordered.GERMAN MILITARY GOVERNMENT OF BELGIUM MAKES STATEMENT.London, Jan.8.\u2014The German military Government of Belgium has issued an official denial of the report that Cardinal Mercier, the Belgian member of the Sacred College, has been arrested by the German authorities.The cardinal has neither been detained in the bishop's palace at Ma-lines, nor placed under police surveillance of any sort, the official announcement says.It is also denied that any priests have been arrested.The denial is silent on the case of Dessain, the printer who published the Cardinal\u2019s Christmas pastoral letter, but.it is understood the story concerning him also is a fabrication.The Germans are said to take the position at this time that the point whether they are the legal rulers of Belgium Is not at issue, and consequently there will be no action on their part.____^ AT PORE WILL PROTEST PO KAISER AGAINST CARDINAL\u2019S ARREST.Jome, January 8.\u2014The Pope ia understood to have asked the Prussian Legation to the Holy See for information concerning the reports that Cardinal Mercier has been arrested.If the arrest is admitted, it is believed the Pope will at once make public his protest concerning it and will at the same time ask the German Emperor for the immediate release of the prelate.The news of the arrest has profoundly moved the Sacred College, where the Archbishop of Malines has many warm friends.It will be remembered that at the last conclave a number of foreign and Italian cardinals proposed Cardinal Merrier for the Papacy, and that he received many votes.AMEND LIVESTOCK EMBARGO Ottawa, January 8\u2014The embargo on livestock coming to Canada from, the United States on account of the foot and mouth disease has been amended so as to allow the admission of horses for special use in breeding, racing, 0r under exceptional circumstances.THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE with w\u2019hich !s united The Eastern Townships Bank.i SIR EDMUND WALKER, C.V.O., LL.D.D.C.L., President.AT.e.XANDEU LAIRD, General Mannser.JOHN AIRD, Asst.General Manaïer.Contributions continue to pour in' for Red Cross Ambulance Fund.As already stated the.surplus can be used j to advantage either for extra equip- ( ment for the ambulance or if this is not acceptable to the Canadian Red Cross headquarters it will be used for the purchase of hospital supplies.; If any of the recent contributors have any wish to express or suggestions! to make, they will be welcomed by .the Sherbrooke, branch and submitted to the head office.$2,500 was asked for, $2910 has been sent in.Previously acknowledeed\u2014-2725 Mr.C.Turner, Sherbrooke, 1 Mr.L.E.Dustous, Sherbrooke, 1 Ecoles Hill Chap.D.O.E.Cowansville ! 26.!

made his first comment yesterday on ï the alleged misuse of passports by German reservists, in the following ; statement : \"England had violated The Hague convention and the rules of international law hy taking unarmed people | off vessels, a proceeding against which the German Government complained to the neutral governments.In consequence of this proceeding, German citizens were deprived of going home and several may have tried to use false passports for this purpose, because of their desire to dy fend their country, a motive which every good citizen will understand, ff this really had been done it will have to he proved.In any case, however.German officials in this country had nothing whatever to do with it.\u201d TO FACE TRIAL FOR TREASON Winnipeg, Jan.8\u2014Otto Gellet who was arrested by the militai- authorities on suspicion of treason, will face trial on that charge, and if found guilty is liable to he shot.The charge is based on evidence that he assisted Austrian and German reservists to escape from Canada and return to Germany to fight.Most of Kaiser\u2019s Goldiers Carry Lucky Charms In Battle Superstitions akin to those which have been obsolete among the British peasantry for nearly a century are at this day rife among tho uniformed sons of \u201cKultur.\u201d There is hardly a German soldier in the ranks whi does not carry some sort of charm which he believes will make him immune from hurt.The superstitions vary.The soldiers from Witrtemberg have next the skin a linen bag containing the pollen of ferns, which is to render the wearer invulnerable.In Bavaria they have a supernatural surgery which heals wounds in this way.Before going into action the soldier cuts a little hole in a birch tree, in which he places a few drops of blond from a self-inflicted wound, and his wounds heal simultaneously With the closing up of the bark of the tree.The Tyrolese soldiers in the Austrian army wear, sewn Into their underclothing, the wings of bats.Men\u2019s Cashmere Sox 37 £c.value \u201cPenmaa\u201d Sox for men at, pair.Cashmere 30c Winter Underwear VESTS AND DRAWERS\u2014 Special line at.25c.65c.line at.48c.$1.00 line Natural\tWool at.89c.\u2022J* We pay the water.ï | mmn imn go, ï 32 KING ST., Telephone No.907.;lilnyei1 on Saturday evening.January !i)th, and it is intended to make the Lpenlng a most auspicious one.Antlcl-|Putin,'r a large crowd.President Morgan, jof thu Farnham Skating Association, has i arranged extra accommodation for spec-'tutors, and it is hoped that hockey I lovers from the surrounding towns will journey to Favnliam on Saturday night I and Join with the Farnham fans in wit nessing this match, which promises to j lie fast and exciting.The Royale will practice at the ' Stadium this evening from 10 to 11.Recruiting In Napoleon\u2019s Time Recruiting In the great war which ended In the fall of Napoleon was a vastly different matter from that which prevails to-dny.Take the Militia Act Of 1803, for instance.In each subdivision of a country a list was made of all men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, classified into (a) those under thirty and without children; (b) over that age; (c) men with no children under fourteen; (d) men with only one child under fourteen; (e) all others.If the men required equalled tho number in the first or second, or any set of consecutive classes, they were taken.If not, all tho names were put In a bag and drawn until the re-quisltu number was obtained.Any balloted man could purchase exemption for five years on paying a fine of $59.raised to $75 In 1803.the money being paid for a substitute.Tho men paying dims ere exempted from the second ballot, and the money was devoted to enabling the men tn tho second ballot to obtain substitutes.On this vicious principle the only man really obliged to nerve was (ho poor man drawn In tho first ballot.Tough Luck to Stand Fire Without Returning It All tho heroism that has been displayed by British troops in the present war will never be known.A few Individual cases may chance to be heard of.Others will be known only to the Recording Angel.Two Instances of extraordinary bravery on tho part of officers were mentioned by a couple of wounded soldiers in the London Hospital in the course of the narrative of their own adventures.One of them, a splendid fellow, of the Royal West Kent Regiment, said: \u201cWe were in a scrubby position two days.After four hours of action each of our six big guns was put out of action.Either the gunners were killed or wounded, or tho guns themselves damaged.For the rest of tho time we had to stick the German fire without being able to retaliate.It was bad enough to stand this Incessant banging away, but it made it worse not to be able to reply.\u201cWhat happened to us h appened to the Gloucesters.Their guns, too, were put out of action, and, like us, they had to stand the shell fire for hours and hours before they were told to retire.What we would have done without our second in command I don\u2019t know.'During the Sunday firing he got hit In tho head.He had two wounds\tBIRTHS through the cap in the front and one SMITH\u2014At Richmond, on Tuesday, or two behind, and lost a lot of blood.january 5, to Mr.and Mrs.J.D.Two of our fellows helped to hind Smith, a daughter.up his head, and offered to carry him\t\u2019\t____________ back, but he said: \u2018It Isn\u2019t so bad.\tDEATHS I\u2019ll be all right soon \u2019 Despite his SANDORN\u2014At Iron Hill on January wounds and loss of blood, he carried , 6i 1915> of chronie Bright's disease, on until we retired on Monday.Then | Floy(i Sanborn, younger son of the I think, they took him off l.o hospital.\u2019' | late Cha8.Sanborn, aged 23 years.- I BROWN\u2014At Compton, Quo., on De- As long ago as 1888 there was seen relict of the late\u2019c.N.Browni ag\u2019 63 years, 8 mos.8 davs.\u2022f- HOSIERY Ladies' Black Cashmere Hose, \"Penman\u201d mak-e, soft and seamless, 3?jic.value.\tQOp Sale price.Wool Hose U5e Knitted Wool Hose for ladies, girls and boys ;
