AIRMEN'S _FINE EXPLOIT Details of Brilliant Work in Routing Division of German Cavalry A despatch from Paris say* : The most dashing exploit of fcho French fcirmon since the beginning of the war was the complete rout of a division of German oavaJry whom they shelled from the air, a briefly announced in official oomraun-voa- tlons on Wednesday. The avia- tors pursued the cavalrymen all day. ceaselessly pouring bombs on them and inflicting heavy losses. Additional details from tin* north how jthe Germans had crossed the frontier and were advancing to- ward the Hazebrouck region in the early morning when they were met fey a stronger French force. The fcreliminary skirmishes were in fa- for of the French. Th* Germans, eciiur the road absolutely barred, began an orderly retreat. The French general, while harrying tiwir roar with his own cavalry, or- dered an air squadron to give chase and convert the ret re alt into a rout with bombs. The effect on the enemy was devastating. The Frenchmen showered the deadly missiles upon the dense ma.ss of cavalry and as ugly gaps appeared where the dragoons and cuiras- siers became strewn across the road wi a horrible mass, panio spread among the Germans. TSiey gal- loped furiously toward the frontier, vainly attempting to escape the bombs. The, compact division was soon dispersed, squadrons dasdiing off across country in different direc- tions in order to baffle the aerial foe. This had the effect of reduc- ing the losses, though the aviators maintained the pursuit till night- fall, annihilating several squad- rons. Numerous horses were killed, while some riders miraculously es- caped. Many others were strewn along tlhe countryside in ghastly heaps, Borne killed instantly, ome wounded and some kicked to death by the horses as they strug- gled oil the roadside in agony. The unexpected air attack abso- lutely demoralized the Germans, and horseless sgtragglers captured the next d*y were in a pitiable state of horror. FAIL TO TURN ALLIES' FLANK licMiiiiil. Attempt tn Ucach French Coast Ports Are Frustrated. A despatch from Paris .says: The Htemj.t.s by the Germans to turn Ihe Hank of the allies and obtain bossessinii of the ports of Ostend, Jjunkirk and Calais have been un- iii n-- ful, fur the Germans came face (> face with a strong opposing allied army which compelled them to fall hack after severe fighting. What is known as "the marching wing' of the allies is continually in cuiiKK-t. with the'Gerinan troops and completely covers the approach to ihc r.i.-i.st towns. When they fought a pitched battle west of Lille the Germans were forced to make a marked retirement from Laventie in the direction of Lille, their occupa- tion of which by 30,000 men was of short duration. The line of the "battle of the north" extends over the most historic ground in Flan- d<T-. when-, nil the ''Field of Cloth of Cold/' Francis I. and Henry VI 11 had their celebrated meeting in l.">-0. Owing to the sinuous nhar- acter nf the line of battle, the total length <>f it from tin- coa*t of Bel- gium t" tin 1 S\iiss border now readies nearly 300 miles. Belief in their final success appears to have taken a firm hold on the allies. All the Mien display confidence in their commanders, who are doing every- thing |sible ti spare their troops. The allied Miklieis are lighting with vigor. They often perform marches wlhirii -eein beyond human power, whi'" '.n tln-liatile field their ardor is unrest rainable. This is made evi- dent often when .small detachments act apart from the main bodies. French dragoon-, r.'i-ently were en- tni |.<l with the task of covering the pa-^.-ii;' j of a river by artillery.

It 'i i i'li Commandos Flocking (o (he Call of Moiidi African Premier. A despatch from Cape Town says : As a result of Col. Maritz's rebel- lion in tihe north-west of the C'ape provinces, Gen. Louis Botha, the Premier of the Union of South Afri- ca and commander of the troops of the Union, is taking the field earlier tha,n he originally intended to do. General Botha is placing himself at the head of several strong Dutch commandos, organized on the old burgher line, which are affiliated with regiments trained by the Union defence force. Col. Britz, the offi- cer appointed by General Botha t<> take over the command of the rebel Lie tit. -Col. Maritz, reports that one of his patrols has engaged a part of Maritz's force at liaJedraal and taken 80 prisoners. Commandants, field corners and burghers who served under General Botha in the South African War are rallying to his call, irrespective of their politi- cal feeling, to fight alongside the British in defence of the Empire* against which twelve years ago they were in arms. This fact has had a marked effect on waverers. TKIKI) TO KILL POIM AHK. Spy Told of French President's VisU to Battle Front.

Griffith, secretary to tho Canadian HigJi Commission- er, Dr. PolLetier, Agent-General for Quebec, continues to rex-eive en- quiries indicating growing interest in trade opportunities in (Quebec Province. The latest enquiry is from a firm requiring magnesia, which has. hitherto been obtained from Asia Minor. This is required in the crude state. The boot trade here is too active for the home man- ufacturers to fill 11 demands, hence the merchants are looking abroad for their supply. ^ IMIOMISK TO DYINti FATHER.

MONTREAL WINNIPEG CRUISER SUNK BY ENEMY Only 73. Including But One Officer, Saved From the North Sea A despatch from London says: The British cruiser Hawke, launch- ed in 1891, was sunk 'by a torpedo from a German submarine in the northern waters of the North Sea. Of her crew, which numbered as many as 544, only 73 survivors have been reported, including a lieuten- ant-commander and three warrant officers. The Theseus, a sister cruiser of the Hawke, also was at- tacked by the submarine, but escap- ed undamaged, the torpedo, in this case, going wide of its mark. The survivors reported by the Admiralty are Lieut. -Commander Robert R. Rosoman, Boatswain Sydney Aus- tin, Gunner James Dennis, Acting Gunner Harry Evitt and 69 mem- bers of the crew. Commander Ro- soman and twenty men were saved by a raft, the others being picked tip by a trawler and landed at Aberdeen. Among the missing are Captain M. P. Williams, Com- mander B. A. Pratt Barlow and eight naval cadets. One of the rescued non-commis- sioned officers, Boatswain Sydney Austin, of the Hawke, bears a charmed life. Twice he has touch- , ed shoulders with death. He was a boatswain of the Hogue's crew ! when that cruiser was tornedoed on Sept. 2'2. He jumped into .the &e that day and kept afloat until his good luck took him into a trawler. 1 His grim experience was repeated 'as nearly as could be possible. So that within three weeks virtually he has twice escaped with remnants of crews destroyed by the Germans. It is presumed that the Germau [submarine, witJi the boldness which has characterized the operations of the Unter See Botes, took advant- age of an early morning- fog and at- tacked the scout ships somewhere off the coast of Scotland. The suc- cess of the German submarine, com- ing so quickly after the achieve- ment of the U9 in destroying the Cres-sy, Hogue and Aboukir on Sept. 22, is particularly note- worthy, because the blow appears to have been delivered far from the German naval base, and in spite of the increased vigilance of British commanders. It is probable that the German submarine ventured fully 250 miles from the moutih of the River Elbe and sank the Hawke in the region of the Dogger Banks. TIIK COST OF LITING. Five Per Cent. Increase in Canada Since War Begun. A despatch from Ottawa says: The cost of living in Canada has jumped by nearly 5 per cent, since the outbreak of the war. The Labor Department's index number showing the general level of prices at the end of September is 140.7, as compared with 135.5, at the end of July. Most of the rise took place during tho first three weeks of the war, and during the past three weeks there has been a general steadiness in prices. Retail prices are reported to have been, on rthe whole, steady in September, after the first upward movement follow- ing the war. In flour and sugar further advances occurred last month in most of the cities. Rent were reported downwards in some fifteen localities throughout the Do- minion. HOSS KIFI.K F.UTOKY HfSY.

The activity which is reported from the Krupps Works in Germany is being duplicated on n small srcoJe with the Canadian ritle factory, which is working full speed to meeft the great demand for guns. It is not improbable that it will be further enlarged as soon as practicable. FOH MONTKK.U, IN KMIM.OYKI). Vote MI- $50,0110 Ileeoiiiiiiended by . (he Ci(y Council.

PLOT RSVEALED IN LONDON RAH Police Seize Factory With a llool of Concrete Four Feet Thick. A despatch from London says : The police have found at Willesden, a suburb to the north-west of Lon- don, a building occupied by Ger mans, with foundations and roof heavy concrete. They arrested Germans oil the premises. The raises were being used by C 1 . G. 11' her, a German music publisher, a factory. The police laid th< plans and conducted a successful raid. In large force they surround- ed the building and then entered and took into custody 22 German subjects. The factory is of one story. Within they found very thick concrete .foundations, and it was discovered that the roof also was of concrete and between three anil four feet thick. The site oJ this factory at \Ville<deu commands several important railroad June-, lions. The Paris premises of this same firm were blown up recently on orders issued by the French Government.
