The actual appearance ot' the first. two Canadian troop ships was the first news Plymouthians had of (‘anadiiiiis landing there. Plymouth messages show how quickly the tale spread. Before the first boat dropped anchor in the Sound the famous promeiuide. the line and every vantage point near the harbour was crowded with people griindly cheering. `Kitclieiier"s new recruits, who were being friiinr-ti tn niusketry drill, broke ranks and waved caps on rifles.

LONDON, Oct. 17. - French reported a successful resistance to effectual use by Germans of the advance they made to the River Mouse at St. Mich- eil. All this is drawn from French sources, the Germans having been more silent than usual with regard to operations in the West. They have been fighting south of the Bruges Ghent Line which is taken to mean that the forces which opposed the Germans around Ghent have been drawn southward to join hands with the main body. Any Allied forces fighting on the coast will have the as- sistance of British .Wsrshlps but it is unlikely that these vessels will bombsrd the German force occupying Oltend or other cout towns for it 'rhe lehfih of today will be ten hours and orty-llx minutes.

Basel iii Switzerland a- gain reports the defeat of the Ger- mans. There is still no mention of this in official communications al- though such defeat has been reported several times from unofficial sources. Promise that pressure would be taken off France and Belgium when the big battle commenced in the East has again been delayed in fulfilment. The Germans are before Warsaw. in fact fighting has taken place eight miles from that city and while the ad- vance to Niemen was a failure ilie forces of the Emperor William appar- ently have retrieved some defeats of the Austrians in Galicia and advanced as far as Jarostau, 17 miles north- west of Przemyal. The German plan seems to be to have two armies advance within the ‘course formed by the Vistula River on the left bank of thc River, while two other armies advance round on the right bank to take the defenders of Warsaw on the flank. This, according to Russian accounts, suits the Russian General staff who is snid purposely to have withdrawn to the Vistula so they would have railways at their back, roads this time of year being very bad. Both sides claim to have gained advantage in fighting. The battle on East Prussian frontier has ceased. Two armies are facing each other across the border, both doubt- less satisfied to remain where they are until the main battle in Poland is decided. This may not be for months although thc Germans it is said, will attempt to achieve ix quick victory to IHI Bill-IISH IMPI Who Will Replace haustcd Allied LONDON, Oct. 18.-“ The Times " military correspoiidexit, replying to the “ l<‘i'aiikt`urtlier-~Zeitiing's " statement that Great llritain was unable to raise more than 000,000 troops, says: “We have at the present moment exactly double that iiuinber--iianiely. 1,200,000 nieii--uiid the number grows almost faster than we can cope with it.
