issumg today, while in Galicia the Russians continue with considerable success their attempt to envelope and defeat the Austrian army of 400,000 men under General Auffenberg- For the moment at least interest centres in the camgaign in France, for it is felt that the battle proceeding there is the first real crisis of the war and will have a most vital effect on the outcome.The Allies, according to a bullentin issued by the French War Office, have successfully repulsed another attempt of the Germans to penetrate their left centre between Fere-Champenoise and Vitry-le-Francois.where the roads and railways are more suited to the French .novements than th 1d hav further north.n an they wou ave been In fact, it is believed General Joffre purposely fell back from Chalons so that he could choose ground more favorable for his army for either defensive nr offensive operations.In this he seems to have been justified, for not only was the German attack repulsed but at Vitry-le-Francois the Germans actually lost ground.This has been the scene of the heaviest fighting of the present battle, for on the German right, which the Allies seem to have got around, General Kluck is falling back before the forward movement of the French and British forces toward the Marne, between Meaux and Sezanne.There must have been some fighting here, however, as the sent this army of the Allies.Some of the rumors are to the effect that Russian troops actually have joined it and others that the Indian troops took part in the fighting.These rumors, however, remain without confirmation and the more thoughtful observers of the war consider that the increased strength of the Allies\u2019 left wing is due to the arrival of fresh troops from England and to the fact that the advanced defensive army of Paris is taking part in the operations.The French are still sticking below the Lorraine frontier and here, according to the War Office, they have repulsed an attack made by the Germans on the line between Nancy and Chateau Salins.In Alsace, where the French advanced so quickly at the beginning of the war, there has been a long respite from ussian And Indian Reinforcements Are Not Confirmed-

The Austrians seem to be in an extremely dangerous position and, if they are defeated by the Russsians, it will be a second §.emberg for them.They appear to have other troubles, too, Reports persist that Emperor Francis Joseph is dangerously ill; that there are internal dissensions in the dual monarchy, and that Italy, Bulgaria and Roumania are waiting Austria's defeat by Russia to appropriate some of her vast territories on her southern frontier.The Servians having driven all Austrian troops out of her territory have commenced an advance into Bosnia from the north.The Germans have been busy in Belgium again.They have taken possession of Ghent without a fight and in the north they are trying to drive the whole Belgian army, the sorties of which have been annoying, if not threatening, back into Antwerp.The recruiting for Lord Kitchenor's army is growing as the The record was reached in London today, when 5,000 men joined the colors.The stubborn British fighting in France fras had much to do with this boom to join the army, although the bitterness aroused by the strewing of German mines, which have destroyed many fishing boats and merchant steamers, has helped.Statistics published today show that German ships of a value of about $25,000,000 either have been captured or sunk by the British, while British ships valued at $5,000,000 are locked up in German ports.ALLIES MAKE PROGRESS.Paris, Sept.8\u2014The following official communication, bearing on the fighting now in progress to the east of the capital, was made public today: \u201cThe left wing of the allied armies comprising certain pore tions of the forces now defending Paris, continues to make progress against the enemy.\u201cThe Frewh advance reaches from the banks of the River | Contionsd an Page Kish) e line, if needed, or were willing to attend to the economic prosperity of the country, if they could better serve that way.\u201c| agree with the Prime Minister thoroughly at this time, and 1 hope he will never disagree again with me.\u201d Miss Pankhurst said.The remark provoked prolonged laughter and applause.Miss Pankhurst commended the men who have volunteered in the ranks, and their officers, and pledged them the undivided support of the militant women.She reminded her hearers that only a geographical accident prevented England from standing today just where Belgium is.\u201cThe future of Democratic government is at stake,\u201d she said.\u201cOur tountry is in danger, and all sections must be united \u2018lat we may be strong as we never were strong before.All suffrage organizations are now engaged in recruiting and war relief work.The receipts from Miss Pankhursts lecture were donated to the relief fund.AUSTRIAN AEROPLANES SEEN IN ADRIATIC.Rome.via Paris, Sept.9\u20141.45 a.m.\u2014Austrian acroplanes have been observed in the neighborhood of Antivari and along the Adriatic coast.They ate probably engaged in watching the movements of the Anglo- French fleet.anNOpOGHANOTNONON INDIAN TROOPS TAKINO PART.London, Sept.8 810 p.m.\u2014 That the Indisn forces of the British army are taking an active part in the operations in France is indicated by the casualty lists.Among the names of the wounded made publie le that of Captain F.W.Hunt, 19th Lancess, (Fanc's Horse) Indian army.{ g0900UOGAGE0E0 da CO dpatmasganoans Waterman Fountain Pen Which is an essential in every soldier's kit Call in and let us fit your hand, at JOHN E.WALSH'S Reg\u2019d., it ST JOHN STREET VALIQUET\u2019S RESTAURANT Formerly of Boston.12 Fabrique St, Opposite City Hall.Steaks, Chops, Rolls and Coffee Our Own Farm Milk Cream Butter and Eggs PHONE 1526 Flour, Grains, Hay,Provisions, eto.Willam Carrier & Fils Registered Wholesale Dealers, QUEBEC .coupons iamed \u2018ep 10: that date will be accept.= ::: od, but nemo will be given cut afterwards.= Bring in yer order soon if you want to get sue of ham magnificent portrait \u2019 Retall Division, 187-198 St \u201cRC QUEBEC_ CHRONICLE: \"a QE HAT par PANY Tad oa + ae -~ \u2014 CES SITES WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER;

and news that the Japanese have landed an army in order to fall upon the city in the fear was to have been expected.This is the practice that finally led to the fall of Port Arthur, which for so long defied the best efforts of the Japarrese oavy.Finally, Nogi's desperate attacks in the resr forced the navy out of the harbor, \u2018there to be destroyed by the superior Japanese ships.There is not in Kiau-Chau any important German navy, .but- the waters leading tothe harbor are mined, and the shore fortifications are known to be very powerful and modern.An at- tackbya navy, thèrefore, would, not be likely to be more successful than.it proved at Port Arthur, and zotse- qeuntly the strategy is-for the landing of any army to attack from the.rear and eventually force a surrender.The Peacemakers\u2019 Rewards.No duty that could have been imposed upon Japan by the war will be more agreeable to her than the capture of Kiau-Chau.Its seizure by the Germans in 18% was a humiliation to the Japanese people that they, have never forgotten.It will be recalled that in this year China and Japan were at war, and that the defeat of China was as complete as it was astonishing to the outside world, which then for the first time became aware of the military strength of Japan.The terms of peace which the victorious Japanese wished to impose upon the Chinese were felt by Russia, Austria and Germany to be too severe.Therefore these powers intervened at a critical moment and deprived Japan of what she considered to be the hardly-earned fruits of her victory.However, she was powerless to do more than protest, and had to\u2019 submit.Then the powers forced ple, and when China in gratitude for Yheir services to féward them with territèry.Russia, for instance, secured pre-eminent rights upon the whole: df Manchuria and Port Arthur, and Germany on thé advice of the noted geographer, hofen, selected the Bay of Chau.Resentment of Chinese.But even before this opportunity cameto Germany she had been busy in the neighborhood, and for years had supported à Catholic mission in the interior of Shantung, the Chinese province that forms the hinterland of \u2018Kiau- Kiau-Chau.A ndtivé \u2018uprising tesutt- ed in the murder of two of these German missionaries, and\" German marines were landed \u2018at \u2018Kiav-Chau to obtain satisfaction.\u201c This action was bitterly resented by the Chinese peo- Kiau-Chau, the GCoternment of China, while obliged \u2018to yield, screened its surrerider behind the announcement that the territory had merely been granted to Germany oh a 9% year lease, that only the intervention of a power tike Japan could force her evacuation.Nor is Germany's determination to hold this territory at ail costs hard to understand.She has done great things there in the few years of her occupation, and hoped to do still greater things.Germany's Thriving Coinmerce.She has built there a fine city, that | in many respects has been a beacon- light to the people of China.It was under German auspices that the first important experiment in reforestation undertaken in Ching was made, and |! the result is that the hills surrounding Kiau-Chau, which were as bare as a brickyard 20 years ago, now.are | her clothed.with young pine She established good schools ia the little colony, and set herself to teach the native Chinese tha | German -language and German scientific: methods, In 1898 the commerce of the port.was about $750.000.In \u20181908 it had .risen to $25000000, and sines.then hag more than douhled again.In short, priced according\u2019 to sie.Ferdinand \u2018vor Richtermany demanded \u2018The fact \u2018id however, that\u2019 Germany would rever\u2018 have moved\u2018 out of Kiau-Chats té-obfige China, sind\" supplies of manganese and time; and therefore Germany has looked: forward with the greatest eagerness to the day when she would control much of the steel and coal industry of the Chinese Empire.Nothing is mors certain than that-sil this promising little empire that -Germany has been building up for20 \u2018years will be taken from her as a result of the war and that it will be handed bask to Chins by Japan.There can be \u2018little doubt that the Kaiser would give an ermy | corps if by so doing he could retain control of Kiau-Chau.THE \u2018INDUSTRIOUS CHINAMAN Of all oriental workmen the Chinese are undotibtedly the best;

Bulgurian foreign offices.- The sympathy of the Roumanian \u2018throne is entirely with Germany and \u2018Austria But the people are so en- thushastic over the Russian victories in Galicia and Bukovina, where Roummnia hes territorial aspirations, that any attempt to come to the res- Que of Austria at this time would immediately result in a general re \u201colution.There is a general feeling here that \u2018Austria, no matter what the outcome of the war, is certain to lose a good \u2018part of hier territory.It # also considered certain that Roumania will receive Bukovina ss her price for

\u201cSeclian.\u201d He says: England is prepared for a war of years rather than of months.This is not a menace.England is able, for \u2018geographical, military and moral reasons, to prolong the war almost at her -own pleasure.Italy is invaded by Germans who assert that Germany will issue vie- torious and that her commercial and industrial activity will not be arrested.We are inundated with German letters, telegrams and private communications from famous German houses, all asserting that Germany will win and that Italy should keep neutral to be on the winning side.We are not of that opinion.We cannot lose sight of England.Germany knows that England represents her great, final danger, hence the bit- -terness with which she speaks of England.England is not impotent by land, as Germany says, and may give re many 8 mortal blow by sea.The war nay possibly end in a titanic duel between England and Germany.In this case England will go through with he struggle grimly and regardless of losses.BRITISH WAR LOSSES.London, September 8\u2014Up to the sent time the British naval and and forces have lost 15681 men in dead, wounded and missing.The most serious loss suffered by

alarm wires were again kept busy last night with false calls and the men were called out repeatedly between eleven o'clock and midnight.No less than six false alarms were sounded and in several cases the men had scarcely time to return to their respective stations when they were summoned out again.Surely there must be some way of putting an end to this criminal nuisance and if the city cannot do so of itself the company which supplies the alarm boxes might do something to supply the desired remedy.This false alarm ringing has become 2 veritable farce and so much money has been spent to properly equip the fire brigade that it should not be turn- ad into a \u201cJumping Jack\u201d show.The numbers called last night were: 8S, 67, 65, 124, 71, #7.THE FORTY HOURS DEVOTION IN ST.PATRICK'S

regiment fared.\u201cVery badly,\u2019 he said, \u2018We have had three heavy engagements.Your rifle fire, concentrated and sustained, snd followed )y bayonet charges, has given us a good deal of trouble.We could have saved a good many of our lives if our orders were not so strict about the solid formation.\u2019 \u201c\u2018But why the solid formation?I asked.\u2018That simply means 2 useless

ZENSHIP RIGHTS; ANTISEMITISM SWEPT AWAY BY WAR London, Sept.8 \u2014 Talegraphing from Petrograd, the Standard\u2019s correspondent states that the Jews will in the future be admitted as officers of the Rusian army and navy.The announcement of this important concession to the Jews in the Russian\u2019 Empire was made on official authority and was well received in all quarters.Up to the present no Jew ever had been allowed to be a military officer.The decision to admit them to the highest rank of both services is officially stated to be due to the gallantry which the Jews, serving as common soldiers, have displayed in the battles already fought.The important decree has enabled the Rusian commander-in-chief to confer officers\u2019 commissions on several hundred Jews who gained exceptional distinction in the fighting preecding the capture of Lemberg.The correspondent says he is at thorized to state that the commissioning of Jews as officers of the army and navy will be followed by the removal of civil law restrictions, and that Jews will be admitted to the full rights of Russian citizenship.VETERINARY LEAVES FOR VALCARTIER London, Ont, Sept.8&\u2014Major J.H.Wilson,

port probably Thursday morning it was announced tonight.Her crew will be made up of Americans or Spanisrds\u2014men of neutral nations.The Red Cross, formerly the Ham.burg-American Liner Hamburg, was to have begun her voyage today, but \u2018those employed on board included a number of Germans, and her departure was delayed after the British and French Governments had protested against persons of that nationality being among the crew.Sir Cecil Spring-Rice informed the State Department late today of the reasons for the holding up of the vessel.He stated that when the British and French Governments notified the United States two weeks ago of their attitude on the sending of a Red Cross ship to their ports, it was specifically understood that the crew would be Americans.State Department officials expressed surprise that any difficulties had been encountered.The incident attracted great attention because\u2019 it foreshadowed similar action on the part of Great Britain and France toward ships which may be purchased by the United States for its merchant marine.Both governments in expressing their attitude on the neutralization of ships \u20acormerly owned by belligerants suggested that the crews of the vessels ought to he American, as they could not permit sailors of hostile countries to enter their ports under neutral flags.GERMAN REQUEST FOR AN ARMISTICE ALLIES

IMPORTERS OF GERMAN GOODS TRADB COMMISSIONER ADVISES MERCHANTS TO DUPLICATE ORDERS IN OREAT BRITAIN.an aptes Montreal, Sept.8\u2014A strong effort is being made by the British Trade Commissioner for Canada and Newfoyndland, C.Hamilton Wickes.to enable importers of German goods to duplicate their requirements in the markets of the United Kingdom.The value of German goods imported into Canada for the year ending March 31, 1914, was $14,586,223, and in 1913 the figures were only slightly less.Since the outbreak of the war, and the prohibition on importation of German goods, there have been a number of inquiries from merchants and manufacturers who are desirous of getting in touch with British manufacturers of similar lines.Mr.Wickes has received many of these enquiries, and he states that he will be pleased to give attention to all who desire information of this chars acter.There is a fund of valuable statistics and other matter bearing on the subject, and if importers wish to submit samples of any goods which had been imported from Germany or Austria, his office will endeavor to secure quotations on articles of a similar nature from the United Kingdom.It is further stated by the Trade Commissioner that many firms holding German or Austrian agencies will no doubt be obliged to sever their connections, and if they desire to secure British representation to ce- place the foreign houses now répre- sented, he will be glad to furnish all information if application is made to His Majesty's Trade Commissioners office, 3 Beaver Hall Square.A statement of German trade with Canada for the year ending March 13, 1913.has been prepared.showing the classes of goods imported and their values.Details of the goods under the different heading may be obtained from the Trade Commissioner's office.The list of articles as supplied for 12 months ending March 31, 1913, from Germany, follows: Chemicals, $833.300; dry gnods, apparel and minor articles, $3070440: piece goods, $714.350: varns and oils, $121.100: threads, $22.320: various.$116.660: earthenware.$30.000: china.$312,110; glass.$258.340; stone and clays.$6240: fancy goods.$722.530: groceries (ales,

manufactures.$243.240; paints and varnishes, $31,000: paper and stationery.$571,850; rubber manufactures.$92, 410; miscellaneous \u2014 musical instruments, $275000; seeds, plants.$115.000: raw material (furs, hides, tohaceos, palm oil.rubber), $1.784.- 200; various (explosives, brushes, furniture, guns.wads, etc.combs, hops, scientific apparatus, ete).2546430: ugar, sparkling wines, $304.430; settlers\u2019 effects, packages paying duty, $325.760.Total, $14,- 473.030.In addition to the foregoing statement.the Trade Commissioner states that he estimates goods of German origin to the value of $1.000.000 came through and were credited to Great Britain.through the United States about $2.000.000: and hy way of Relrium about $750.000.There is no way of ascertaining the nature of these goods.Added to the official figures credited to Germany.goods of German origin in 1913 or 1914 were probably $18.250.000.These, indirect imports.through other countries, were made up mainly of items under the class of dry goods, chemicals and hardware.The German trade for the 12 months ending March 31.1914, was about $100.00 more than in the previous year.The items were divided about evenly.with slight increases in drv goods and hardware.Mr.Wickes, in discussing the tabulation of figures by the statistical branch of the Department of Trade and Commerce, referred to the enormous increase in Canada\u2019s trade, which was taxing the officials to the utmost in getting out these figures for the public.000750900060 090G2O0 AUSTRIANS AFRAID OF REVOLUTION.Paris.September

Englend alien enemies, who heretofore have been permitted tu land -under the guise of Americans whose citizenship was attested by consular certificates granted on the continent.After Sept.14 comsular certificates will not be accepted as proof of the American citizenship of those arriving from the continent.These persons will not be permitted to land un fess they are provided with passports This measure has heen urged by the American Relief Committee which has been frequently victimized by fraudulent claimants of American citizenship.The committee says.however, that it is desirous hoth of protecting its own funds from imposters and of preventing suspicion that the United States is assisting the enemies of Great Britain, These consular certificates, it is al- feged, have been issued wholesale in some of the continental cities, without anything approaching an adequate investigation to determine whether the applicants for them real! ly were Americans or entitled to Am.| erican

of the birth of Sir George Cortier.During his leng association with Sir John Macdonald, his ascendancy in Quebec was complete.\u201cCall the members,\u201d from his lips before an important divisions is parliament usually settled the matter.He was 8 tree patriot.Without him there might have been no confederstion in 1887.Sir Charles Tupper, himself the wbipper-in in Nova Scotia\u2014has lately said as much Quebec was the keystone of the arch, and only Cartier could lay that stone.Sir John Macdonald was the chief architect, but he needed many helpers, and the lack of say one of them might have imperil ted the fabric.Those who wish to follow the life and lifework of Sir George Cartier\u2014which during the span it covers is almost equivalent to the history of Canada\u2014will do well to get the recent biography of him prepared by Mr.John Boyd, the well- ksown Montreal journalist.Mr.Boyd says of him: \u201cGeorge Etienne Cartiers\u2019 whole career and policy constitute a protest against racial animosity, religious antagonism and sectarian etrife, and therein is to be found the greatest lesson of his life.\u201d That lesson still needs to be learned, and will so long as men like Bourassa are allowed to rave.ZEPPELIN BARBARISM.Germans in Belgium have been in- duiging in the practice of dropping explosive shells from aeroplanes and Zeppelins into cities and towns to the danger of non-combatants.This may be war, according to the ideas of those engaged, but it is none the less barbaric for the reason that it endangers the lives of women and children, old men and other non-combatants.It is related that in several instances explosives were dropped on hospitals containing wounded.This is so foreign to the civilized idea that it appeals to those who read.People are prose to speak of the rules of \u201ccivilized warfare\u201d Imprimis, there is no such thing as civilized warfare\u2014war being nothing less than savagery\u2014but to date there has been a rule generally observed by all nations to the effect that women and children should be spared, that oid men were to be respected and that nurses and doctors and members of the Red Cross were exempt from attack.To violate this unwritten rule is to return to the state of mind where age and sex were not exempt.when war meant annihilation of all sre to be made the cockpit of Europe, and her ungathered harvests will be trampled ints the earth by the feet of millions of men.And whose is the quilt?The answer may be given in the words which a correspondent tells us be heard on the Hips of a Belgian | peasant.Looking sadly at the crop that never shall be garnered.the old | men exclaimed with the energy of | conviction: \u201cGuillaume en est I esuse.At any rate, in this hour of national trial England may feel that she is striking for the weak and the ; oppressed, and for the vindication of | u violated treaty, and because until the tide of this unprovoked invasion is rolled back, for her there can be mo peace with honor.\u2014London Tablet.ADMIRALS ALL.Effingham, Grenville, Raleigh, Drake Heres to the bold and free, Benbow, Collingwood, Byron, Blake, Hail to the Kings of the Sea!

Chronicle: Dear Sir \u2014May I ask you to kindly publish a suggestion to the military authorities which might obviate the clashes between the local police and militiamen, who sometime unfortunately fall under the influence of liquor and cause annoyance to the public.Why not organize a military patrol ito look after the soldiers who come to the city when off duty and who are : subjest to the many temptations offered to them.Only today a poor {fellow overcome by the fiery fluid i fell asleep in the doorway of my office, while cases in which several of these unfortunate men have had narrow escapes from death, especially at the Quebec and Lake St.John depot, have been brought to my personal knowledge.I think that a patrol such as suggested would be of great advantage, as these cases should be looked after by the military authorities more so ficers have always kept a sharp lookout for their men when in port and there appears to be no reason why the militia cannot do the same when it is merely a case of protecting a man against himself.Thanking you, Me.Editor, and trusting that some action will be taken in the matter, 1 remain Yours respectfully, FAIRNESS.SOME AGED TREES.\u2014 One In Ceylon Is Said To Be Ofspring of the Buddha's Banyan, Probably the oldest trees in England are yews.There is, for instance, one in the church yard at Burrington Coombe, where the famous hymn, \u201cRock of Ages,\u201d is said to have been written, which is estimated to be at least sixteen hundred years old, and there is also a very ancient one in the church yard at Stoke Poges, where Gray wrote his \u201cElegy.\u201d But the yews are very closely run by the oaks, many of the most famous and ancient of which, however, are mere tree ruins, like the oak tree called \u201cRobin Hood's Larder\u201d and the famous Parliament Oak, both in the Midlands.These are not trees at all, but simply sheets of bark propped up as remnants of historic days.The Cowthrop Oak, in Yorkshire, is supposed to date from Saxon times, and it was only in 1848 that the tree fell against which, according to tradition, King Edmund was martyred.Then there is the Crouch Oak, at Addiestone, under which Wycliffe preached and Queen Elizabeth dined.The Hindus ave peculiarly fond of the stately banyan.They consider its long duration.its outstretching arms and overshadowing beneficence as an emblem of the Deity.They plant it near their tempies, an in these villages where there is no structure for publie banyan and there perform a morning and evening sacrifice, Many of these trees have acquired an historic celebrity, and the famous Bubbeer-burr, on the banks of the Nerbuddah, thus called by the Hindus in memory of à favorite saint, is supposed to be the same as that described by Nerchus, the admiral of Alexander the Great, as being able to shelter an army under its tar-spreading shade.But even the age of this tree falls into comparative insignificance when compared with the Sacred Tree of Ceylon, which is said to have sprung from a branch of the one under which Buddha reclined in the sixth century B.C.Undoubtediy the most remarkable and interesting group of trees In England is that which is known as Burnham Beeches, near Windsor.It 15 probably à fragment of the ancient forests of Brituin, and many of the trees, hollow to the core, must be very old.It is a matter of history that these trees were pollarded\u2014that is, they had thelr heads cut off\u2014by Cromwell's Tronsides, who wanted wood for gunstocks, so they must have been remarkably well grown even then, : wotship

yesterday putting the roads into shape.In some places the mud was so deep that au- somobiles sank to the mud.guards and it was not an unusual sight to see a pair of horses engaged in pulling a motor car out of these ruts slong the camp lines.The sandy soil at Valcartier absorbs the water quickly, however, and the men state that no water made its way into the tents, though it may have in some places on the bill-side.The following appointments have been made cn the Administration Staff: Lieut-Col.D.Watson, 8th Royal Rifles, Quebec, will relieve Lieut.-Col.E.B.Worthington, 3rd E.T, Mounted Brigade, in the command of No.2 Provisional Infantry Battalion.Licut-Col.R.W.Patterson, 34th Fort Garry Horse, will relieve Lieut.Col.J.G.Rattray, 20th Border Horsein the command of No.6 Provisional

command of No.2 Provisional Infantry Battalion.It will be noted from the above appointments that Lieut.-Col.Watson will be detached from his regiment, the 8th Royal Rifles, cf Quebec, as this unit is comprised in the 12th Battalion of Infantry.The telephone lines have now been established to all points in the camp and visual signalling with camp headquarters has now been discontinued.A runaway

places.Offenders of tiese orders will be severely dealt with.The Medical Staff of the camp are making preparations for and in some \\ oculation process.And the second dose should not be deferred over ten days and all over twelve days have heen ordered to report forthwith to Lieut-Col.Hodgetts.The Battalion make use of necessary means to see that this procedure is carried out.Many of the men are not particularly anxious for the second dose, but all are ready for the process.The bad weather of the past few days has not in the least dampened the ardour or the spirits of the men and the usual activity goes on unceasingly.The outfitting seems to be rogressing Fre men still appear to be drilling in mufti.Military manoeuvres will commence very soon now, aad some interesting work will be seen

AN OVATION The large audience who attended to vaudevile and moving picture show at the Auditorium last night may have been somewhat surprised to see one of the Privates of the Princess Patricia Regiment appear on the stage snd render a recitation, but if they were their surprise promptly gave way to appreciative appluse and Private Joyner, of Moose Jaw, Saskwho came on the stage was given a real ovation.Few of those in the audience were aware that the appearance of the soldier was the result of a bet with several fellow volunteers and that Pte.Joyner won the bet with ease.It appears that Joyner bet that he would appear on the stage at the Auditorium and receive as much applause as any other performer.He spproached the management and made known his wager, asking that he be permitted to deliver a recitation.When it was learned that Joyner had previous experience on the stage in various roles the desired permission was promptly given.Joyner recited \u201cThe Face on The Barroom Floor,\u201d which is more or less of a chestnut, but the old theme when given the touch of the artist is not the same as when it is rendered on Amateur Night and the hook has to be brought into requisition.With rare ability the young elocutionist delivered the old recitation and took the house hy storm.He was anplaud- ed to the echo.and even those who had bet against him were forced to join in the applause anid acknowledge their defeat with good grace., CHANGE OF TIME-TABLE ON THE Q.R.L.& P.Co.Commencing Monday September 7th.the Fall and Winter Time-Table | between Queb=c, St.Anne and

we do not know as yet how great ; à part we may have to play in it.Certainly, it should be our endeavor to have a strong and able force which * could be called upon for home defence if needed after

SATISFACTORY.Mr.W.Harcourt Palmer, of Montreal, vice-president of the Du Pont Safety Powder Company, Limited, ot | Canada, and his staff, including Mr.Harry Harris, of Ottawa, yesterday and today are engaged in giving very important demonstrations to the government of their explosives, known as the Perchlorate Safety Powder.When spoken to at the Chateau last evening, Mr.Palmer would not discuss the demonstrations of the explosives, that are being made at Valcartier Camp, without the consent\u2019 of Cautain Turnbull, the government representative.It is learned, however, from private information, that these demonstrations were escentially of the highest order and gave the greatest satisfaction to all those present, who represented the leaders of the engineering.chemical and active technical divisions of the war department.Captain Turnbalf who has charge ot the work, was also approached, but he refused to give out any information concerning the tests that are being made, except to acknowledge that they were satisfactory, until he receives the consent of Col.the Hon Sam Hughes, under whose instructions he was acting.In view of the fast that the demonstrations are said to be of an excep-, tionally interesting nature it is pro-! bable that an early report will be, made by the government representative.QUEBEC JUDGES GIVE TO PATRIOTIC FUND.At a meeting of the Judges of the

New York, Sept.8\u2014More cong- dence in the financial situation was expressed by domestic bankers today.This feeling was regarded as & natural reflection of the casier cou litions reported from London, resulting largely from the success which attended recent negotiations for the payment of New York City's foreign indebtedness.Direct connection with Paris was mote difficult today, but bankers with French connections were completing arrangements for drawing bills on Bordeaux, the temporary seat of the French government.It was caid heavy remittances to that point would be made in the near future.Foreign exchange was slightly easier, rates for cables and demand on London declining about 134 per cent, but advancing a trifle later in the day.Transfer of $1,00000) gold to Canada was made by the local agent of a Canadian bank, who declined to disclose the character of the transaction.There is reason to believe that shipments of the metal from this and other home reserve centres to Ottawa for account of maturing obligations will soon be under way.Lreal maney conditions werc unchanged as to rates, hut supply was more limited, last Saturday's bank statement, which was not up to popular expectations, causing some leaders to withdraw from the market: It is not probable that New York banks may increase their supply of emergency currency, because of the increasing disinclinations of isiterior hanks to make loans in this market.The most interesting item of routine news was the government crop report as of September 1, which showed a decline of over 3 per cent in corn condition compared with the previous month, and .a decline of 7% per cent in spring wheat.In the main, the report bears out the adverse conditions set forth by unofficial experts during the past three weeks.The government's cotton report issued today places the amount of that staple ginned from the 1914 crop to September 1 at a little more then 475,000 bales, or substantially 325,000 less than in the corresponding period of 1913.Western railway officials report little change in traffice conditions from a year ago, Volume of general business is said to be even with that eriod, but miscellaneous tonnage is Fighter, An increase of almost $2.- 000,000 in local exports of general merchandise last week denotes further readjustment of that situation.DOHAN'S MARKET LETTER.Received over the private wire of M.L.Dohan.broker, Dominion Bldg., St.Peter St.Phone 4748, New York.Sept.8\u2014Cotton ginning report at 10 o'clock.Government crop report at 2.18 o'clock.Pacific coble connecting Canada and _Austrafia cut.Bethlehem Steel Co.say it is not making ordinance for any of war $26 50.000 for war purposes.Interboro Rapid Transit réports 229 per cent on stock against 18.68 per cent a year ago.Dupont Pawder Co.de- ties that it is sending power to Eerope, British imports in August decreased $65,000.000 and exports nearly $10,000000.President Wilson truce he established to include all nines involved in strike, all work to be resumed.; What promises to be a mots decisive hattle of the war has heen going on for three days and still continucs on a line extending from Nanteuil-Le- Haudouin, nort-east of TI through Meaux Sezanne and Vitry- Le-Francois, as far cast as Verdun.Allied forces have taken offensive along the entire 140 miles front.The French left wing has forced the German turning forces back from Meaux and Coulommiers back to the right bank of the River Owrco.The second German army, however, which two days ago reached Chatean Therry has advanced its line from Montmirail to Chalons.Official War News Bureau in London gave out the following at 1.45 last night: \u201cGen.Joffre's plans are being steadily carried out.\u2018The allied forces acting on offensive have been successful in checking and forcing back in north-easterly direction the German forces opposed to them.A telegram from Gen.Pau announces victory by the Allies.\u201d THE TORONTO PRODUCE MARKET Toronto.-Quocations ase as fol.Wheat\u2014Ontario, No.2 winter, $1.15 lows: nominal outside, according to location.Manitoba, No.1 northern, $1.32; No.2 no-thern, $1.30, _Oats\u2014Canaria west.No.2, Ge; No.3 do, 63e at lake port for immediate shipment, Ontario, No.2 white, 55 to 57c outside; No.2 new, 49c outside on track Toronto.Corn\u2014American, No.2 yellow, 6c cif.Collingwood, on track Toronto, à Barley\u201463 to 65c outside for malt.ng.Buckwheat\u201488 to SOe per bushel shipping pcints.Flour\u2014Manitoba, listed quotations | | | suggests that a three-ycar Colorado TRY IT pNP BE CONVINCED FCR SALE BY «J.B.RENAUD & CO.AND FIRST CLASS CROCERS.| = ï | It) Cn RENT IES i Ii i GU=BEC TYPEWRITER EXCHANGE, «.© VEZINA, Pron.82 Mountain Hill I | | Phone 3551.Quebec.Jn.13x:mn.wn,satxomn.ai Toronto are: First patents, $0.60; Ontario, winter, 9Ù per cent patents $4.50 10 $5.i Millfeed-Manitoha bran $25.00 per !

As a consequence it is explained, the British, like other nations, have found mine sweepers the only satisfactory way to clear the seas of explosives.Two small boats dragging a heavy wire rope between them are used for the purpose of clearing the steamer routes.Scores of these are at work in the North Sea.Germany is not a signatory to the Hague convention, forbidding the use of mines;
