OTTAWA, Sept. 17.--No word has

been received at the militia depart- ment as to whether the Canadians were in the big drive which began Sat- urday. General Hughes, however, stated that from the despatches, as he icad them, lt would not appear that the i)ominlon's khaki clad sons had been in the thick of the fighting so far. The only time in the reports which might refer to them was one in which an action had been described as taking place south of the Minirn roittl, but on the whole it is consider- ed that unless their position has been changed they have not yet been in the] forefront of the new fighting.

JOHANNESBURG. Sept. 27.-(via London)-W. H. Dawe, President of the South African Chamber of Mines called attention today to tho vital importance of South African gold to the cause of the Allies. Mr. Dawe said that numerous employees of tho mines desired to 'volunteer for ser- vice at the front but that permission for them 'to do so could not be Elven because the importance of the indus- try was so great that no _risk could be taken which might affect its steady operation.

The adjustment of the American

exchange rate, Mr. Dawo said, cover- ed ordinary commodities but the large orders for munitions placed by the Allies must be paid for, to a con- siderable extent, in gold. The conti- nuance of gold payments. he added. would be possible because the British Empire produced $800.000.000 in gold lllllllllllly. two-thirds of it from the Transvaal.

lt is impossible 'to estimate the amount of booty cap-

tured by the Allies, but a conservative estimate places it at hundreds of machine guns and many thousands rifles taken from thc enemy who could not withstand thel ter- rific assaults of the magnificent troops commanded by Sir John French.

As an indication of how the British received the news

of what may developinto ‘the long promised general Ad- vance, it is only necessary to say that the Daily Tele- graph calls it the greatest battle since -the beginning of tho war, and the feeling of jubilatlon is intensified by the

AustroiGcrmans into marsh latids, where their heavy

artillery is stalled, are continuing a counter-offensive,

which is administering terrible punishment to the foe, and has paralyzed the strategy of the Kaiser's generals, who, according to despatches from Amsterdam, Copenha- gen and Petrogrnd, are beginning to believe the history of the retreat from Moscow will repeat itself, with all the terror that that implies. Meanwhile, the Italians are fighting among the mountain tops and are taking a ‘terrible toll from the Austrians.

NEW YORK, September 28.-The Paris correspondent

of the New York World says: \

"The Allies' offensive is likely to become the most de-

cisive movement on the western front since the present' lines were established, months ago. Such is the informa- tion that reaches me. Unless the German resistance .is tar greater than expected at present, or German strategy dictates a change of plan, the Allies will be able to compel a retreat that must mark the end of trench warfare. Two wedges are being driven into the German lines at Arras and west of the Argonne, thus gripping the armies of Von Bnelow and Von Heeringen in pincers of artillery concen- tration more powerful than anything concentrated on any front hitherto.

“Should the campaign be carried through to its ulti-

mate conclusion, it must achieve what the Germans have sought vainly again and again to inflict on the Russians-

100 and subscribers mlzhi DRY f0l` to cut off one or more German armies from their neigh-

bors.

"Thus the German centre may be caved in beyond re-

pair, upon which the German right and left must leave their trenches."

ALLIED ARTILLERY

Allies Captured llundreds

Its immediate result is the messing of strong German

railroad supplying the German forces between Sorry Au Bac and Argonne, and from which French batteries are now only two miles distant. The l'oini`orcemcnts are nc- cessarlly being drafted from other points on the Western front where no infantry action is now in progress. The movements of those troops iorcshadow the French at- tacks against weakened portions oi’ the line, and it is cou- fldently believed the offensive will become general. At this moment the whole front is being tlrellclied with shells and air torpedocs night and day. Tito swift movements of the Germans is being conducted behind a, 400-milc curtain of fire, but is watchcd by hundreds of French aeroplanes. Never before have so many acroplancs ap- peared above tho hugo battle linc. Every hour new squadrons rise and a perpetual air bitiilo accompanies thc ccaseless roar of iliousaiidsr of guns.

While the mighty struggle is proceeding on lnud, so far

favorably to the Allies, a tremendous flanking operation is being carried out by tho Liritish, of which thc commu- niquos have as yet. made no mention. This development will probably prove the decisive factor in the huge attack now in progress. lt is rt surprise for the Germans and another triumph for the British fleet. An operation anal- ogous to the Dardancllos effort is being carried out; on the shell-swept sands of what was once ‘the most famous gambling resort in Belgium. This is a. part of the Iiugo effort thc Allies are making, bcforc winter sets in, to

_cripple permanently Germany and Turkey on the fronts.

Admiral Jellicoc's fleets activities are by no means

WiIihéd"t'6"tlie' North ' Sea." i'lls'sliip§,wvlth’French units; are even now covering operations on the shores of the Aegean and. of Asia Minor. Everything points to the fact that tho Allies are delivering the blow for which they were preparing throughout the summer.

News reaching inc from Champagne tells of fearful

carnage among the retreating Germans. This is, in fact, one of the bloodicst of thc battles and which, for tire num- ber of victims, surpasses any previous combat in French warfare. On a. front of only 16 miles, 30,000 German in- fantry feli, which, in addition to over 20,000 prisoners, makes the total German losses more than one army corps. .

The suddenness and vigor of the attack are clearly

illustrated by the number of guns taken. That the re- treat was swift and bloody, especially north of Beause- jour, is shown by the frightful slaughter on the hill above the Boise river. The lmpetuous rush of the oncoming Frenchmen, charging with the bayonet, drove the Ger- mans from the crest of Hill 200 into the river below. 'llhe shouts of the victorious French mingled with the screams of the fugitive Germans, as they plunged into the swift Plllllllllg river, and as the current swept the Germans off their feet, they clutched one another hy tho necks in a 56599”-A0 death grip. It is no exaggeration to say that in a few minutes the rushing stream ncocunted for several German companies, and at certain points it could be forded across on their heaped up bodies.

This hurried retreat, however, was saved from becom-

ing 3 regular l‘0lli by the German batteries, which open- Gd fire from the other sidc of 'the river and stayed the
