Real negotlationsare still a long way off, but interested Bulgarians and Turks are working for this end. 00LOIIIL IOHII SIIIIIILLR. III’-. SLRIRUSII ILL (Canadian Prose Despatch.) HALIFAX.

THE HAGUE, Aug. 16- The new German “war usury bureau," has justified its' existence by revealing surprising details of widely ramifled food frauds, according to reports re- ceived here. Tlle frauds are said to involve a half dozen leaders and a hundred acconlplices. These men are said -to have smuggled hundreds' of _tons of wheat, rice and barley flour from the province of West Prussia to Berlin, where it was sold at a profit of three hundred (300) per cent. I The existence of the flour, reports say, was concealed from the govern- ment stock-taker by all manner of ar- tlflcec, and was shipped on night trains as potatoes or machinery. 'Among the accomplices and ring- leaders were adveral governunent officials and several station masters. who are charged with connivance in ithe fraud by consigning ilcur under _false des'ci'lptions. German news- papers are demanding exemplary punishment for the men arrested. FL_iRTHER RUSSIAN ` ` GAINS IN CARPATHIANS. PETROGRAD.
