AMSTERDAM. Aug. 17. -Warning

has been telegraphed to Berlin by the war correspondent of the Lokal Anzei- ger from the eastern war theatre that, the resistance of the Russians may be expected to increase as the Austro- German front approaches the Russian line of defence. The correspondent declares the Russians can dispose siifficlently strong forces to enable them to make serious temporary rc- sistance, and adds the battles are increasing in intensity, with perhaps a retardation of the Austro-German advance to bs looked for ln the im- mediate future.

CALGARY, Alta.. Aug. 17.-Archi-

bald McKenzie lost his life in a vain attempt to rescue his brother, Jack, who was thrown liito Red Deer River north of Bassnno, when their boat capsized in the strong current. Both were drowned. The McKenzie bro- thers were well known in Calgary, where they were old timers, owning considerable property. The brothers were contractors and left a few days ago to assist in erecting an elevator on the Bassano Empress branch of the C. 1". R. Just after they had left the city a wire came, apprising their two sisters in Calgary that their mo- ther was dead in Prince Edward Is- land. They started for the east at once but urgent wires were despatch- ed when news of the double drowning came to bring them back to Calgary.

There were some details still lacking in the equipment and this was expect- ed to occasion some little delay. lt is therefore very improbable that there were any Canadian troops on board.

SUMMARY OF WAR SITUATION

(Special to the Guardlin.)

LONDON, Aug. 17.-The sinking in

the Aegean Sea by a German submar- ine of the Royal Edward with heavy loss of life has shattered the record of the British Navy in having trails- ported hundreds of thousiinils of men across the seas without the destruction ot' one troop-liidcn ship. On two pre- vious occasious transports had been attacked. Tile Wayfarer was toi'- pcdocd by a. submarine in the irish Sen, but not sunk and only live lives were lost. The Manitou was attacked by it 'l`urkish torpedo boat in the Ai-gr-uii Sea and although the ship wus not damaged, 54 lives were lost through the breaking of a davit as the boat was lowered. The loss oi’ the lloyal Edward is serious. The men it carried were not part of the new expedition, but were reinforce- ments for the 29th Division, which has been on Gallipoli Peninsula since the first landing. The news was a shock to the British public. This was the ilrst occasion since the sinking of the battleship Majestic on May 28 that thc German submarines which made the long trip to the Dardanelles have had success. The Royal Edwards destruction is not likely to delay the operations uiidortakcn, for with the Russian rt-tircniciit in the east and continuance of the Balkan ncgotia-I tions. tho iii-cosslty for achieving! soincthiiig dr-llnitc in an assault upon the llnrrlanollcs is growing greater.
