NEW HYURUPLANE

IS A REAL WUNUER

WASHINGTON--Army aeronautical

experts expect telling results from a type of hydrnplane just perfected by the Curtiss Company. lt is declared' to be adapted to all the purposes of modern war in the air and particu-I larly well adapted to coast patrol. | , The machine differs from prevailing .types principally in the fact that the motor ig installed in the body of the "boat" insteal oi’ over the operator‘s head. Another i-nnovation is appliances iwhich give the operator power to cut ,loose entirely from the planes, throw- ing the power of his engine to a regu- tlation marine propeller for aquatic propulsion.

ln this way it ic. expected that the

peril of rough weather work- the bane of coast patrol--will br- ellmrlna- eti in a large extent. if- sudden gales neressiate a descent to the surface of the sea the aviator simply converts his machine into a motor boat and ciugi; cheerfully for the nenrer.t port or friendly ship.

BELGIUM.--= British and French and Ger-mans alike, along the front of bat- he in Fianaéis, situ iisitriheii- -posi- tions late today in the iron grip of the bogland produced by the torren- tial rainstorm which has been delu- ging the battle line from Tuesday evening until' today, when it showed signs of moderating. Beyond artil- lery operations, which are continuing with great intensity, there is little activity with the exception of one or two points, and French and British were resting in consolidated and strongly organized positions, com- manding the territory which they cap- tured from the Germans in the first few hours onslaught.

ST. JULIEN THE STORM CENTRE.

St. Julien today continued to be the

storm centre of the artillery of both sides which are pounding steadily at their oppoiient's positions about this place. The British were again in possession of a three hundred yard front just north of Freaenberg, which the Germans wrested from them in a counter-attack late yesterday. In a. sharp drive last night, after heavy ar- tillery preparation, the British forced the Germans from this strong posi- tion and have held it since. This was the only counter-attack of any consequence, delivered by -the Ger- mans since late Wesnesday.

BRTIBH REGAIN LOST POSITIONS.

(Canadian Press Despatch.)

I.0NDON,- British troops, accord-

ing to an official statement issued to- day by the British War Office, already have regained part of the ground lost when the Germans pentraited the British front lines on infantry Hill, to the east of Monchy Le Preux, last night. -

(Canadian Press Despatch.)

LONDON-. Both British and

French gained-further ground in the figtrting in the Ypres sector, but the Germans, by heavy counter-attacks, succeeded in recapturlng the village of St. Julien and part of the village of Wesihoek. According to the offi-

nlght, along the battle front in Fland- ers. but generally speaking, -the Ger- man guns were less active this morn- ing and the situation was unchanged. At daybreak the Germans concentra-

ted heavy gunfire on the newly ac- quired British positions in the area south of the Ypres-Menln road and they have been actively shelling these defences since that time. During the night the enemy launched a counter-attack on s, small part of the field held by Australian and New

;Zeaiand troops in the Hollobroke-Liv basseville line, but were forced to re- Itlrs by the ‘British artillery, which poured a deadly fire into the German ranks. _

jesriwm REPcin'rs or THE BAT- ‘ TLES.

(Canadian Press Despatch.)

COPENHAGEN.- German newspa-

pers of Thursday morning, contain no details of importance on the battle in Flanders, beyond an official report. German war corresipondents are' "as yet observing the battle at a safe dis-

tance near,Chaij1eyille, several hun- dred kilometres behind the front, and ‘ endeavor to give the news from scap- ty material supplied by the military censors. ,

That the correspondents - observed

instructions, is evidenced in all news.- papers, by the heading "Special from the front" and all state -the German artillery was able to hold its own with

lthe Anglo-French in the preliminary ybombardments. All accounts em- phasize the character of the British and French attacks, and all claim preliminary victory, explaining how- 'ever, that the heavy fighting has not

Iendecl, and may continue for weeks. I A casual survey of the Flanders ibattle supplied by the German Gener- :al Staff through the Wolffe- Bureau, ‘mentioned that Bixhoote three times Ichanged hands, the French eventually retaining the village at nightfall, but that the German lines gripped the vil- lage north and cast. The British, ' according to the survey, de-livered the

cial report from British Headquart-'main thrust before Ypres, and suc-

ers tonight the number of Germans

made prisoners exceeds 5,000.

The text of the statement reads:

“Rain ‘continued to fall ithroughout

the day. By a successful operation today on our new battlefront our line was advanced slightly in the neigh- borhood of the Zillebeke-Zandvoorde road. On the left flank oi' our at- tack our Allies gained further ground on the east bank of the Yser Canal. During the night our new positions east and northeast of Ypres, between Westlioek and St. Julien, were heavi- ly counterattacked by strong forces of the enemy. Our troops success- fully reslsted the enemy's repeated attempts to drive us from the impor- tant positions on high ground captur- ed yesterday in this neighborhood. but under the weight of his assuait, and after stubborn fighting we were compelled to withdraw our advanced troops from the village of St. Ju- lien.

'USING TRAUTURS I - TU AIU EARNIERS

TORONTO-A demonstration of

two farm tractors took place yester- day on the Neilson Farm on Dawes Road under the auspices of the com- panies manufacturing th.ea6..,machines and was attended by representatives of the Departemnt of Agriculture and the Organization of Resources Com- mittee. The machines proved to be a great improvement on the old horse ploughlng system. They ploddsd along at a rate of more than two miles per_hour, turning over three furorws as they went. One of these. machines-. drawing a twofurrow plough, can turn over five acres of lailltin a ten-hour day whereas' by the old system not more than one ,and a half acres can be turned in the ‘same time. They require the atten- ‘,tion.of only one man. .. .. I The Provincial , Government now has 60 tractors, which will all bs at work next week. With the aid of these machines it is hoped to reclaim for the sowlnlg of late crops the half mill’-on acres of land that have ,gone into pasture because of the inability of its owners to cultivate it. This would. of course. mean a great in creasz in the 1917 Ontario crop. The Government will demonstrate for'far- mers the possibilities of the farm tractor and will organize co-operative societies toasles-t the farmer in sec- uring these maichines. 1,

ARTHUR HEN RSIINS

PLACE IN CABINET

LONDON- The fact that a member

of the -cablnet,nArthur Henderson, mi- nister without portfolio, in the war council h_ad gone on a mission to Paris with the paclflsts, ‘-Ramsay Mucho- nuld, M. P., George .latmes Wardle, chairman of the labor, party in the house of commons and Russian dole- rgates, aroused great irritation among the .members of parliament. _and,seems to threaten trouble in the govern- ment. _ ,

The purpose of the Journey is to_

confer with French socialists in re# gard to the proposed conference of

`a'iii_c§1, socialists _at Stockholm.

T o truth of the matter is that

Mr. Henderson, since he returned from Petrograd, reversed his attitude on the uqestion of the British labor party and socialists meeting the Gar- rnan representatives at Stockholm and now advises them to rescind the former resolution against joinind the conference with enemy delegates. Mr, Henderson has not publicly explained his views, but this is known to be the result of his visit to Russia.

The government has been closely

questioned in the house of commons in the past few days on the subject of Mr. l-lenderson's mission to Paris and the admission by Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the , exchequsr,

that it was 'settled without the go- ‘it may be reached by ri tremendous vsrnnient's knowledged and that the fleet of aeroplanes. A huge Bpproprl- government was ignorant of what he ation to build aeioplanes has' been was doing ln Paris has further compli- passed by Congress and the short cut

The Submarine Peril

~ One of the most cheering r‘ircuin~ stances in the-war totaly, from thi- poiiit of view of the Allies, is the vir- tual admission by Germany that sh.- runnot win this war with hf~:~ armies She says that the suiiinnrino is .ici trump card, and with this t-ard shi- has undoubtedly taken soiuo import- ant tricks, The German pcopic are told that if they will only liold out the submarines will yet wlii thc wui for them. Some- experts who ‘car t‘n, submarine point out flint ai its pri.- sent rate of activity it can perliaps iitarve the people of the Brltlsli luv.- in 18 months. That is to say, the .»\i- ilied armies have 18 months in wiiirh Ito defeat the (lc-:man arinies',. even if the Allies are unable to do any- 'thing to check the activity of the iriv- 'ers or are unable to build boats as fast as Germany can sink them.
