FITTING SEND-OFF RUSSIIINS AND GERMITNS HS’SIDE C0
T0 VOLUNTEERS ARE STUBBORNLY FIGHTING IN CLOSIN
The volunteeers who left yesterday
morning for Halifax were given a send- off worthy of the cause to which they had given their services, and of the province. Although in civilian clothes. each looked every- inch a soldier, and those who saw them march to the steamer felt sure that they would give a good account of themselves in what- ever position the exigencies of war may place them. Notwithstanding the early hour thousands of citizens were on hand to see them off and say good- bye and good luck. Forming in the Drill Shed they marched along Kent Street to Queen Street and 1,0 the Northumberland, preceded by the 4th Regiment Band, which played appro- priate patriotic and stirring iiiurcliiiig selections. When passing the Fire Station the fire bell was rung in honour

(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON, Dec. 4.-The North Ger-
inan Lloyd steamer, Berlin, which was recently lnterned at Trondhiem, Nor- way, had according to a statement is- sued by the British Admiralty to-night. Dl‘0bi1blY been engaged in extensive mine-laying operations. When the Berlin put into Trondhjeln, the Ad- miralty says, she was “almost empty of coal and with her speed consider- ably redlwed, due Presumably to fast steaming.” Continuing the report says: "She has especially been fitted for mine-laying, but so fur as known she now has no mines oil board. the probability being that these have been sown on the higll seas under cover of darkness. From past experience it is known that the track of nierchaiit shipping, neutral as well as British, is a favored locality for their operations. German floating mines are constantly being sighted. On many occasions these mines have proved still danger- ous. Merchant vessels should there- tore be warned oi' the grave danger to which they are exposed. They nlust bear in mind that the waters which, owing to their great depth heretofore have been regarded as coniparatively safe, inust now be navigated with cau- tion. ‘

Of the naval reserve, 500 men have
been sent to England, 200 are on the drill ship Calypso ready to go. and re- cruiting is going forward with the oh- _iect ol' increasing thc total naval con- tribution to a thousand incn. ~

yesterday afternoon, before His Ilon- our Judge McLeod tlle arguments of
-*'l'-4"*--~ ' counsel were begun in investigation
LONDON, Dec. '4.-'rilere is still
lacking reliable news of the progress of the battle.iii Poland. _An unofficial depatch from Petrograd says thc battle of Lodz has ended in success to thc Russians, but this stittelllent is opposed to the Berlin oificialireporl., which says the German offensive oi' Poland is tak- ing its normal course. '1`ile fact is that the lighting iii this region has developed into such a juilible that it is nlinost impossible to i`ollow ii.. Tile most ilnportaiit factpr from the Allies' point of view is tlidt the German all- vailcc oil \Varsaw has ilot succeeded in its object, nor has it had the effect of diverting the Russians from their forward movement through the Cnr- patliians and ori to the plains oi' iiun- gary. or against the fortress of Cracow. As with the case of Przcmysl, which held out so long' against Russian attacks before tlieili, military men do not look for an curly full oi' Cracow, and are rather inclined to believe that the arniies of Emperor Nicholas will endeavour to keep the large Austrian force inside tile fortress and enter Silesiu from the south-east. However niiich depends on battle being fought between the River Vlsiulu and the Warthe, :ind in which all agree the losses oil both sides are very heavy. There is an inclination to believe that had there been any probability ol' an curly success for Gernlliiis in this field Eniperor Williani, who has returned to Berlin, would have rellisined to witness the victory of his troops.
The battle iii the West continues ill
a condition of stalemate. The Allies and Germans attempted to take the offensive at different poliits along thc froiit but neither claim any advance. lt is evident the attacks made havi- iiot niet with nincli siicccss. ifiiilcr thc title “four months of war" the French Bulletin of the armies is pub- lishing a report ot' thc entire opera- tion ot' war. In it the explanation is made wily the French were unable to takc the offensive until the British army was ready, and the advance ill- to Alsace was designed to draw the Gerllltius from thc Belgian front. This plan did not succccd, it says, and the Alllcs were rlrivcn buck to thc Sciiic.

The Government. thought well to give it a 'wider aim and consequently it was made wide enough to embrace an enquiry into the operation of the Pro- hibition Act witllin the province. It was largely for the purpose of acquir- ing information of that kind that the Commission issued. There were re- ferences made in the charges to certain cases that were abandoned in Suulnicrside and Charlottetown, and he would say that nothing moved the Government so strongly in granting the enquiry as the desire to ascertain how it was that some 14 cases that
.had been brought before the magis-
trate in Sumnlersids had been aban- doned and witnesses carried out of the province. He meant in this to show that the case was not one of plaintiff and defendant idea. Which- over way the blame might fail, right or left, whether on accuser or accused, was a matter which the Government was earnestly desirous of having His lionour report upon.

Southampt- on wus completely hidden by 3 thick fog and on the way down the ‘r0s<1s" ue had to reverse engines several tim- es,aa hells and horns were going ev- ery minute, and hundreds of ships at unchor or passing up for troops.

After dark it was very weird to see revolving lights dashing a circle into the sky from both shores. It looked just like a naval battle without the sound of the guns.

stayed on board all night. At 9 a.m. Monday immediately the ship was clcared,thc stream of wounded began arr‘iving,and continued all day.
