BRITISH "STEAM ROLLER" HELD UP BY HEAVY RAINS Ahhough Gen. Haig Did Not Reach All Objectives Planned, the Hritish Assault Met With Considerable Success On Wide Front. A despatch from London says: For the first time since he started his series of attacks against the German positions in Flanders, Field Marshal Mail? has had to cease an operation before all the objectives set out for were attained. It was not the Ger- man puns, however, that stopped the Briti."h. It was a more than usually heavy rainfall, which started during the battle, and turned the already Rwampy rejjion over which the men were supposed to pass into a veritable quatrmire from which they could not untrack themselves for a forward move. The drive, as has been customary in Haiff's strategy, was started in the early hours of Friday morning and extended from near the Toutholst Wood to below the Ypres-Menin road. .At several points the British troops succeeded in gaining ground over fronts ranging up to a thousand yards, but here the rain intervened and the fighting ceased for the day. During the forward movement over the six-mile front the British cap- tured in the aggregate about six hun- dred prisoners. The struggle was particularly bitter to the north of Poelcapelle and around Passchendaele. In the latter region the Germans apparently have massed their strongest array of troops, hopeful of being able to stay a fur- ther press forward by the British to- ward the Ostend-Lille railroad.

A despatch from Paris says: â€" The ofTicial communication issued by the War Office on Thursday says: â€" "During the day the two artilleries Were active at various points along the front, particularly in the region of L'Epine de Chevregny, south of the iButte du Mesnil, where our Are ar- rested enemy groups who attempted to reach our small posts, and on the right bank of the Meuse. There were no infantry actions. "In Belgium during the night we broke up a German attack delivered Mat of Drneibank against our posi- tlons between Victoire farm and Pa- tegoet farm. "On the Aisne front an enemy pa- trol which was seeking to approach our lines in the region of Cerny was dispersed by our fire. "On the right bank of the Mouse (Verdun front) in the region of Hill 844, the Germans made an attack which enabled them to gnin a footing momentarily in portions of one of our advanced trenches. After a spirited engagement we repulsed the adversary >nd remained masters of our posi- tions." 8ULTANATK OF KGYPT -\ OFFERED PRINCE FUAU A dospatch from Cairo, Egypt says: •â€"Although the order of sucecssion to the Sultanate remains to bo settled, tile British Agent has called upon prince Fuad, brother of the late Sul- Un Hussein Kemal, to assume the dig- nity.

Major-General Freilerick B. Maurice, I Chief Director of Military Operations j at the War Oflice, in his; weekly talk I on Thursday with the Associated I Press, after an optimistic review of I the past week's work on the British front in Flanders, said: "We have every right to be confi- dent when we see what our men have done. But the fighting is hard, and we do not think that the present se- ries of battles in Flanders is going to end the war. There is a great deal more hard fighting before us. I would say that the importance of getting the American troops here as quickly as possible and in the great- est possible numbers has not been diminished. "The word 'steam-roller,' which was so often used in the early days of the war in connection with the Russian army, is exactly the right word to characteyze the Briti.sh ad- vance in Flanders. It is an advance not rapid, but insistent, irresistible. It goes up hill very slowly, but now it is going down hill, and battles are following each other more and more rapidly." -^♦- Mutlny on German Warships A despatch from London silys: â€" A revolutionary outbreak on German warships at Wilhelmshaven about six weeks ago is reported in a Central News despatch from Copenhagen.

Idvs Stock Markets Toronto, Oct IB Kxtra choice PRICE OF POTATOES NOT TO BE FIXED A despatch from Ottawa says: â€" The Food Controller has decided not to fix an arbitrary price for potatoes. This decision has been arrived at as the result of a meeting here of repre- sentatives of the Eastern Provinces, acting as a Sub-special Committee of the Fruit and Vegetables' Committee of the Food Controller's Office. Re- gistration of wholesale handlers of potatoes has already been ordered, and it will be unlawful for any per- son to engfage in the wholesale potato business without a license. A re- gulation is now under consideration which will require such dealers to take out a license to do business, and to file regular reports of all their trans- actions, covering the purchase and sale of potatoes. The sub-Committee decided not to fix the price at $1.25 per bag to the consumer, after asserting that the cost of producing a 90-lb. bag in each of the five Eastern Provinces was as fol- lows: Ontario, $1.'27; Quebec, $1,50; New Brunswick, $1.35 to $1.50; Nova Scotia, $1.05; Prince Edward Island, 90 cents. To these costs must be added a fair profit to the grower, freight, and the profits necessary to the wholesaler and retailer. Further Information Concern- ing Von BernstorfTs Plans. A despatch from Washing^ton says: â€" Secretary Lansing drew upon his collection of secret German diplomatic correspondence again to shed further light upon what the German Foreign Office and General Staff were doing in this country while at peace with the United States. He gave to the public, without com- ment as usual, three brief cablegrams, disclosing that more than a year be- fore submarine piracy drove America to war the Berlin Government was instructing Ambassador von Bemstorff to arrange for destruction of Canadian railroads and to use Irish-Americans in carrying on sabotage in their own country. They showed, too, that von Bemstorff on his part was even at that early date seeking authority to support a campaign to influenc» Con- gress. MINISTER FORCED TO RESIGN AS RESULT OF MUTINY IN NAVY. A despatch from Amsterdam says: Vice-Admiral von Capelle, the German Minister of Marine, has resigned, ac- cording to the Frankfurter Zeitung. | Vice-Admiral von Capelle, who sue- ; ceeded von Tirpitz in 1916, announced in the Reichstag last Wednesday that ; a plot had been discovered in the navy | ' to paralyze the efficiency of the fleet ; and force the Government to make ; ' peace. He said that the guilty parties had received their just deserts, and . attempted to link Socialists with the plot. The Socialists and their news- 1 i papers have attacked both the Chan- j cellor and the Vice-Admiral for their • statements. $700,000,000 IN SHELLS SENT FROM CANADA A despatch from Montreal says: â€" Canada has shipped sufficient tonnage of shells to the Old Country to build nineteen bridges across the St. Lawrence, each equal to the Quebec Bridge, or sufficient to buil3 sixty-six battleships of 18,000 tons each, so Brigadier-General Sir Alexander Ber- tram told the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers in an address on Thursday night. Sir Alexander said the total value of all the munitions and supplies sent overseas since Sept., 1914, had reached the enormous total of $700,- 000,000. The work was carried on in 400 factories in Canada, three-fifths in the manufacture of shells and two-fifths on components, basic supplies and shipbuilding. Shortage of Sugar is Serious, Says Foodv Controller. A despatch from Montreal says: The possibility of the banning of the manufacture of candies, confectionery and jam because of the sugar short- age was hinted by Food Controller Hanna in the course of his address to the Housewives' League here on Thursday. Mr. Hanna said that the amount of raw sugar available for the re- finers in Canada and the United States was so small as to be the sub- ject of alarm in both countries. Dur- ing the past ten days a crisis had de- veloped, but drastic measures were being taken by tho Departments of Food Control at Ottawa and Wash- ington to insure a steady supply. Cuba, since the war began, was the world's main source of sugar, and the United States was in close contact with the Island, and Canada was not. Mr. Hanna said that a member of his staff had been in New York try- ing to secure even a moderate sup- ply, but had not succeeded. The last consignment of raw sugar for Can- ada was now on its way here. NICHOLAS ROMANOFF OBTAINS TRANSFER A despatch from Petrograd says: â€" Nicholas Romanoff, the former Em- peror of Russia, and his family have been transferred from Tobolsk, Si- i beria, to the Abolak Monasteryj four- |teen miles from Tobolsk. The trans- I fer was made at the request of the I former Emperor. He complained that ihia Tobolsk prison had no garden in j which ho could exercise and also that ! he and his family were annoyed by the I curious crowds which surrounded th< house all day long. GERMAN "RAILWAYS ARE SHORT OF FUEL A despatch from London says: â€" The Gerpian state railways ar faced with *' great shortage of fuel and drastic limitation of traffic has begun, according to reports reaching here. The railroads propose to levy heavy excess fares on express trains so as to discourage all except unavoidable busi- ness journeys. A large number of fast trains have been ellminatei! from the Winter time tables. The Wurt- temborg railways will charge hea'/y excess fares for traffic on Saturday afternoons and Sundays. HEAVY FIGHTING IN RUMANIA WITH ALLIES THE AGGRESSORS A despatch from London says: The prospects of a return to heavy fight- ing in Rumania with the allies the aggrressors seem good. On the Ru- manian plain and near Braila the Rus- sians have heavily bombarded the Teutonic allied position, while the Germans in reprisal shelled the im- portant Danubian town of Galatz, their shells causing several fires. On the northern sector of the eastern front near Riga the Germans, follow- ing a heavy bombardment, pushed back the Russians in the vicinity of the Pskoff high road. FRANCE PRODUCES 250,000 SHELLS DAILY A despatch from New Yorli says: â€" France has for a year been produc- ing 260,000' shells ' a day for the famous "75" guns, as compared with 12,000 daily when the war began, Andre Tardieu, French High Com- missioner in the United States, said in a statement here on Friday. WILL BE NO REDUCTION IN PRICE OF WHEAT. i A despatch from Ottawa "lays: The ' view in official circles here is that th« price fixed for wheat will be unchang- ed. While no oflicial guarantee is giv- ' en that all wheat offering will b« bought at the price, it is asserted that there need be no apprehension in this regard. "I don't see why there should ] be any fear of a reduction in the i price," a high authority informed the : Canadian Press Limited. "It is the price fixed for the crop." j .â€" «. . GERMAN SEAMEN .\RE SHOT FOR REFUSAL TO MAN U-BOATS A despatch from London says: â€" Re- liable reports received here by way of Holland Indicate the growth of ai strong disinclination on the part of German seamen to serve on submar- ines. This news, the authenticity of which is not doubted, is to the effect that several seamen already have been ' shot for refusing to perform U-boat duty. The shooting are said to have occurred prior to the mutiny in Wil- helmshaven. OH TOM.HSRE COMES THE MIKIISTErI WU^T WILL HETHIMW OFWoOB- , PIACKESE? -60 HIDE.
