FURTKER GAINS AGAINST TURKS TurkLsh Forces Hopelessly Out- classed l)y British Yeomanry. A (lespRtch from London says: â€" Reuter's correspondent witli British headquarters in I'alestine, telejcraph- ing last Wednesday, says: "Within a fortnight of the inception of the British offensive tl.e Turkish army, occiipyinK apparently an inipreunoble line, strongly fortified and provided with guns, ammunition and supplies, has been driven headlong from its de- fences and chai-cd across country. Its losses have been enormous. "The feature of Thursday's fi^jhting was a lirilliant charge by thy Mid- land Counties Yeomanry. The enemy had been dinging leriaciously to a position above Mii^hair, beyond Wadi Rubin, where he had hastily en- trenched himself. Supported by field and machine guns, the mounted troops charged across the swelling up- land straight upon the enemy. They were received with a heavy fire, but nothing could stop them. They cut right through the Turks, sabering right and left. "When the enemy found themselves Kurmunded eleven hundred of them laid down theii- arms. The Turk is fighting bravely, but he is hopelessly outclassed. "The total number of prisoners verified since October .11 now exceeds 9.(100."

O STOinN(; C().\L UNDER WATER. - A HAIG PREPARES FOR NEW ADVANCE Cuns I'avinn Way for Fresh Thrust in Flanders. A despatch from London says: Sir Douglas Haig's despatch from head- quarters on Friday indicates that pre- parations are umler way for a new , offensive in the Passchendaele region. I The official communication regarding ' aerial operations also points to renew- ed activity. It reads: | ••During the early part of Thursday , a heavy ground mist considerably j hampered aerial observation. Later in ' the day the mist partly cleared, and considerable activity ensued in the air. Many targets were successfully en- ., gaged by our artillery with the aid of aerial obHervation, and a number of reconnaissances carried out by our aeroplanes. | "On the buttle front our low flying ', machines engaged several ground tar- , gets with machine gun fire. Hostile aeroplanes dropped a few bombs on our side of the line. 1 "In air figliting, live hostile aero- planes were downed and one was driv- en down out of control. Another (Jer- man machine was shot <lown by our anti-aircraft guns. Four of oui- ma- chines faileil to return " j MOSCOW IN ' I STATE OF SIEGE Covernmenf Troops in Kremlin .Attacked l>v (hi- Keliels.

The (ioverninent troops are said to have a fairly plentiful supply of fodd and ammunition and to be capable of holding out for some days. j «. DENM.ARK Tit KXI'EL ALL I OREKiN SPIES. A despatch from Copenhagen says: The Goveinment has submitted a bill to the Danish Parliament authorizing Ihc expulsion from Denmark of any undesirable foreigner, even those re- siding in the country for more than two years. The law is aimed at spies and other objectionable persons, but may also be invokeil, following the Norwegian preceilent, to reduce alien consumers of Denmark's food supplies. To Prevent Deterioration Caused by Exposure (o .Air. Coal when exposed to the aii uniier- goes some ileterioration. It loses heat- ing value.* Under such conditions it in really undergoing a process of slow- combustion, i.e., oxidation. To prevent this, the United Slates navy yards within recent years have resorted "to the expe<lient of storing liHnri-picU.d. Ihou.sands of tons of coal under water. It was thought that salt water was better for the purpose than fre?h wa- ter. An elaborate series of experiment.^ recently conducted by the U. S.

But the loss in the open air is only about 1 per cent, a year, and so ' the water cure does not pay. | Millteed â€" Par lots, delivered Montreal ficlKlits. haK."
