PRUSSIAN GUARD DELUDED Thi Enemy's Six-Footers Moved Cheering Into Path of riachine Guns London, Nov. is. A correspon dent in Northern France wnds the following details of the defeat of tin- I'rusMnii Guard, as referred U in official British reports: "It WHS only when the wounded !>r. -oners of the Prussian Guards' arrived at that the Hiitisl' Holdicrs n-ali/.ed the kind of men lliry h;ul been lighting for the lust few da.vs. Huge fellows they were, nil o\er MX fed in height, and one nf them nearly seven. When one n-;i !i/.eM that this mag nifieenl regiment has now been se- verely handled by the British troop* for (be third time, and that its men nre looked upon as. the flower of the German army, then one also realizes just what a light the Hn tish put up. "After submitting for over eight bourn to terrible shell fire of both l\<Mite nnd shrapnel, the British troops were getting x^rv tired, nnd it was next to impossible to urnd relief to the advanced trenches un- til after dark. The Germans, anti- cipating this condition of things. and rculi/ing that it was now or never, massed in force their Prus- 'ian Guard and some other forces md drove the British back through cheer weight of numbers. Back they went, contesting ench trench Stubbornly as they evacuated it. 'When within about sixty yards of where the artillery wan hidden. the troops, acting under orders, suddenly split their line and dis- iii i. .1 on either hide, leaving a huge gap the break in the British line, which the enemy had been try- ing to make for weeks. Into this break cam*; the Prussian Guard, wildly shouting and cheering. The.v had advanced within fifty yards of the nm//les of the field guns when these belched forth at i>int-blank range, while the maxims fired into them from cither side. "Not even the Prussian Guard roii Id stand this. They broke, wavered and fled. Their Ilight wa.s aided by a savage charge made by the Black Watch, which regiment, in company with others, was up a IK) at them the moment the signs of wavering were seen. "The whole thing was beautifully timed .>!. I the infantry and artil- lery. Not only were the Germane driven back over the trenches which but a short lime ago they had taken from the British, but they were pursued by the Highlanders for over a mile bejotid. "The net result was that the Ger- mans lost over a thousand men killed and some three thousand wounded, as well as their own ad- vanced trenches, from which the final attack had originated, nnd the British artillery is now sending shells a mile further into their ninks."

The Solvay Company's works on the Bruges ship canal, which are being used as a base for German military trains, was wrecked.

THE NET HAS TIGHTENED The Immigration and Customs Regulations Are Now Very Stringent A despatch from Ottawa nays:: Precautions which have been taken as a result of the war, have result- ed in a most stringent tightening of the immigration and customs regu- lations of the Dominion. Addition- al restrictions have been added from time to time, until the authori- ties now consider that everything has been done to prevent the en- trance into the country of either German spies or German goods. To the ordinary queries with which a traveller crossing the Canadian border is confronted have been add- ed a long list of other questions calculated to bring out in minutest detail particlulars as to identity, citizenship and the like. These in- clude particulars as to parentage, nationality, age, movements during the previous decade, purpose in en- tering Canada and length of visit, and the like. All suspicious persons are being detained for investiga- tion. Similar care is being observed in the case of the customs regulations, and baggage for which the inspec- tors would formerly on occasion take the owner's word, is now close- ly searched. As regards merchan- dise and other goods imported, no chances are being taken, and they are being closely examined to as- certain whether they are of Ger- man, Austrian or Turkish manufac- ture. Turkish rugs are now on the list of contraband, and it is under- stood that such shipments are fre- quently being rejected. Clever Ruse of a French Airman A despatch from Paris nays: M.

The human st:unach stands much abuse, but it won't return good health if you give it bad food. If you feed right you should feel right, for proper food and a good mind is the sure road to health. "A .\f-ar ago 1 became much alarmed about my health, for 1 be- gan to suffer after each meal, no matter how little I ate," says a Western woman. "1 lost my appetite, and tho very thought, of food grew distasteful, with tlu> result that 1 was not nour- ished, and got weak nnd thin.

A despatch from London says : A great battle was fought in the Black Sea between Sebastopol and Odessa by a Russian fleet of two battle- ships and five cruisers and a Turk- ish squadron composed of the fam- ous German battle cruiser Goeben and the light cruiser Breslau. The Russian Government supplies de- tails of the fight, and asserts that the Goeben was badly damaged by broadsides from the Russian flag- ship'fi 2-inch guns, and escaped only because of her great speed. The Turkish Government give* out that the Russian fleet was de- feated, that a Russian battleship was seriously damaged, and that the Russian ships, pursued by th* Turkish ships, fled to Sebastopol harbor. The statement issued by the- Rus- sian Ministry .f Marine gives tin- following account of the engage- ment: "On November 18, a division o* the Black Sea fleet, returning from its cruise to Sebastopol, near the coast of Anatolia, sighted 25 mile* from the Bhersones Light a Turk- ish detachment, consisting of the Qoeben and the Breslau. The Rus- sian fleet immediately drew up in battle order, bringing the enemy to starboard, and opened fire at a dis- tance of 40 cable lengths (about five miles). The first salvo of 12-inch guns from the flagship Admiral EvMafry struck the Goeben am 1 caused an explosion amidships, set- ting her on fire. Following the Ev- stafry, the other Russian ships opened fire, the Russian guns, giv- ing an excellent account of them- selves. "A series of explosions were seen in the hull of the Goeben, which opened fire slowly. The enemy seem- ed not to have expected to meet us. The Germans fired salvos of their heavy guns, directing them exclu- sively at the flagship. The encoun- ter continued for 14 minutes, after which the Goeben withdrew and dis- appeared in the fog, taking advan- tage of her speed. "The Brcslau took no part in the fight, holding herself on the hori- zon. The Kvstnfry suffered only in- significant damage. "The Russian losses were a lieu- tenant, three ensigns arid -29 sailors killed, a lieutenant and 19 sailors seriously wounded and fiye sailors slightly wounded." In putting the Goeben to flight the Kvstafry defeated a warship enormously her superior in every- respect. The battle cruiser Goeben is a vessel of 22,400 tons, nnd 2^'.. knots speed, while the pro-Dread- nought battleship Kvstafry is of only lL',300 tons and IT 1 '.' knot" speed. The Goeben's main arma- ment consists of ten 11-inch and twolvo 6-inch gun?, while the Ev- stnfry carries only four 12 inch, four S inch nnd twelve 6-inch WEATHEB HALTS THE INFANTRY Neither Side Can Do Mori- Than Hiiiiinior (he Other nilli Big Guns. A despatch from Paris says : The fall of winter has numbed the ener- gy of allies and Germans in Bel- gium and Northern France. Snow is falling. Gales from the sea have driven tide water far inland, widen- ing the inundated district.. Infan- try operations are well nigh impos- sible. The official report* issued by the French Government show that the elements have bested for the time being both the men in grey and the men in khaki. Neither side can do more than hammer the other with big guns. The Germans did not press their artillery attack as strongly as on the previous day. It is officially announced that the Germans were forced to abandon heavy guns because of the spread- ing waters. Near Ramscapelle the allies salvaged two large mortars which the Germans had been unable to remove. The reports of corres- pondence say that both sides have lost cannon and automobiles since the flood changed the character of operations. There is no doubt that bad weather has increased the ex- haustion of the troops.

A Criminal Offence to Have Them in Possession. A despatch from Ottawa says: The Staats-Zeitung, the Vital Issue, the Truth About- Germany and the Yaterland, four German publica- tions, have been prohibited from the Canadian mails under the War Measures Act. It is made a crimi- nal offence to circulate these pa- pers or to have them in pot-session. They have been particularly offen- sive against Great Britain and the cant* of the allies. I. M. -INN Said to Be Preparing a "Surpri.-* % " for the Allies in Belgium. A despatch from the Hague says: The Germans are mining the dune* near Ostend and northward to the Dutch frontier. A Dutch military expert says : "Military men have been sur- prised that hitherto we have heard so little of German land mines. Perhaps it is because the allie have not yet penetrated to German soil. Although after the battle of the Marne they reached a position that had been occupied by tim enemy, it must be assumed thai the Germans had not time to mine the ground. Now in the north wes* of Belgium, it looks as if the Ger- mans were preparing a uiine sur- prise. The whole dune region, which is about fifteen miks wide, has been declared forbidden ground n.it only to civilians, but to th soldiers and officers, of the German, land forces, who are allowed there only on special permits from th marine brigade, under whose juris- diction that territory has been placed. "From a fugitive who has arrived in Holland, we learn that active digging is proceeding in the dis- trict. "Isolated German land miivei consist of cylinders filled with shells or bombs and strong explo- sives. The cylinders are fastened to chains about ten feet long which ure firmly anchored in the ground. "Through electric connections the mines can be exploded at great distance. Gunpowder placed near the mines is fired by the elec- tric current, and the resulting ex- plosion causes the cylinders to leave the ground to a height of fiv or tix feet. Then the shock caused by the resistance of the anchor causes the dynamite in the cylin- ders to explode and the charge spreads in all directions horizon- tally." ARRAS SHELLED TO PIECES A Clergyman From There Tells of Devastation Caused By the Germans Tho Sul ton of Turkey. A despatch from Boulogne says: A clergyman, who remained in Arras through every bombardment, has given this description of the town as it exists to-day: "I have stayed and I am going to continue to stay at my post in this ruined town. Yesterday the place had another bombardment, the fourth. Arras is now a grave. The churches and the cathedral are all gone. Four hundred houses have been burned. The roads are disappearing and leaving enormous cavities. Yesterday the civil and military hospital at St. Jean was Khelled for the tenth time. The wounded and sick were placed in the cellars. One of them was the Chief Magistrate, who was badly wounded by a shell. The Hospice is also a victim of the explosion of shells, 30 people being killed and 17 injured. The dead and wounded are all huddled together in cellars. The only peo- pie still eeen in the streets are priests 4nd soldiers. For over a month we have heard a constant cannonade, and the enemy have been within two miles of our town for nearly four weeks."
