presenting us so many new and strange situations that au error of judgment oi' this character is pard- unable.
"lint it has been ueresary topoliit
out for thc further guidance of His Mnjesiy's ships that conditions which prevail when a vessel of a squadron .s injured in a mine field, or is cx- posed to submarine attack, are ana- logous to those which occur in ac- tion, and that the rule ot' leaving disabled ships to their own resources is applicable, so far, at any rate, as large vessels are concerned.
“No act of humanity, whether to
friend or foe, should lead to neglect of the proper precautioiis and disposi- tions of war, and no measures can be iairen to save life which prejudice the military situation. Small craft of’ ull kinds should, however, be directed by wireless to close on the damaged ship at all speed.
Men Were Courageous
I
“The loss of nearly 60 officers and
1,400 men would not have been be- grudged it' it had been brought about by gunfire in an openflre in an open action. But it is peculiarly distressing valled. The absence of any of the ar- iiiider the conditions which pre- (lor and excitement of an engage- ment did not, however, pre- vent the display of discipl- liie, cheerful courage and ready selt- sucriiice among all ranks and ratings exposed to the ordeal.
"The duty on which these vessels
were engaged was an essential part of the arrangements by which the con- trol of the seas and the safety of the country are maintained mid the lives lost are as usefully, us necessarily, and as gloriously devoted to the require- ments of His Majosty's service as it the loss had been incurred in a general
action. . ~
Cruisers Were Out of Date.
“ln view of the certainty of it lil'0'
portion of misfortunes of this char- acter occurring from time to time. ll- is important. that this point of view should be thoroughly appreciated. '1`l\0 loss of thcso three cruisers, apart from thc loss of life, is of small naval sit!- iiificaiice. Although th0y W€l'0 large und powerful ships they belonged to a class of cruisers whose speed has been surpassed by mails' of the enemy S batilesliips.
“Before the war, it had been decided
that no more money should lic Slwlll in repairing any oi' this class and that they should make their way to the snle list as soon as defects became

UNCH ANGED POSITION.
LONDON, Sept. 29.-The fighting of
the past fewvdays, which took the form of heavy offensive operations, has not to any marked extent affected the positions of opposing armies in Northern France. Some hard blows- liave been struck by each side, but the armies remain practically where they were when the Germans stopped their etirement and commenced to entrench themselves.
A lengthy official communication issued to-day by the Freiicli Generali staff makes this plain. The lines of the Allies are roughly sketched in tho statement, from which it is gathered the French right still rests on Pont- a-Moiissoii. From their it turns south- ward across the Meuse, near St Mihel. where the Germans succeeded in push- ing a contingent forward. Thence the front proceeds northward to Verilun. from which fortress it strikes in a direct line westward to lthelins. thence north-westward across the lliver Aisnc at Berry au Bac. It. follows the Aisne to Soissous ami runs from there northward, crossing the River Ofse at Ilibeoourt, Roys, Albert and Combles. The two latter places are north of the Soinnie. In the west the wings are in very closo touch, the Gornians holding Lessigny, which lies between llibecourt and ltoye, which is in possession of thc French, also (ihaulnes, in an almost direct line betwaoii Itoye and Albert. lt was here the Allies were attempting a wide turning movement, to prcvout which tho Germans apparently sont strong opposing forces. The French announcements says the Geriuans con- tinued day and night attacks, only to be repulsed, but it is evident that they are showing plenty of fight in making the effort to prevent the Allied forces.
FIRE IN ST STEPHEN.
ST. STEPIIEN, N.B., Sept. 29.-The
new shoe factory of Clark Brothers in King Street- here was destroyed by fire early to-day as well as tho dwelling houses of Ilenry Pinkerton, Levatte Russell and Mrs J. ft. McClure and the blacksmith shop of John Manuel. On the buildings other than the shoe factory the loss is about $10,000, partly covered by insurance, the factory loss in building and stock is placed at about $35,000 with $28,000 insurance. The fire broke out in the factory. It is believed from a heater. The firm employed 60 hands and was rapidly building up business.
