F". lla' T (From our own Correspondent.) OTTAWA, Aug. 31.-"As far as I could see the people of the West are with the Government in its policy of straining every muscle in this war. which is as much a Canadian wsr as English." Hon. T. Chase Casgrain, Postmaster-General. made this state- ment to-day on his return to Ottawa from an extended trip through the western provinces, during which he saw and hcarda great deal of the two great works upon which these pro- vinces are engaged, the harvest and the raising of troops for service over- seas. The Minister has been several times through the west, but no one of his previous visits was either as in- teresting or as instructive as the one just completed. He went west Nor the Canadian-Pacific and returned by way of the Grand Trunk Pacino, which enabled him to form an accurate judg- ment of conditions based upon observa- tion and information received nt a large number of places. llc is en- thusiastic over the harvest. "I never saw such crops." he said. "When I went out the grain was standins. when I returned it was being cut and I heard from all parts that the harvest is the best in twenty years. I got this from the farmers themselves. Sonic say they never had such a cut before Wheat is running as high as thirty bushels to the acre and outs io one hundred bushels. One farmer actually thrashed oats from parts of his lands which averaged 106 bushels to the acre." 0 With such conditions the West is not at all downhearted. “ The result," Mr Casgrain__ said, " is that, notwith- standing the fact that the West was hard hit by hard times and thc war there is a spirit of confidence in the near future of the country. that it does ‘one good to see. None of the men I met are dewnhearted by any means, All say they are living in God‘s country -and that they can wait a little while for the new era of success and pros-, pcrity." < Mr Casgrain was niost favourably impressed with the great spirit of loyalty throughout the West. “ Men,” he said. " are flocking to the colours.” The cities are full oi’ troops. “ I want, toe, to say a good word for the ladies. Every woman in tho' North-West is working for the troops either to pro- vide comforts for those at the front _or to relieve the sufferings of those who have been wounded.” The Postmaster received a great ‘many invitations to address Canadian Clubs, -but was able to address only two. those nt Vancouver and Edmon- ton. Hc also addressed a patriotic .meeting at Regina on August 3. He 'describes this meeting as one of the |largcst he ever saw. there being from fifteen to twenty thousand people present. The gathering wiis opened by i.lie Lioiit.-Governor and was closed with a speech and benedit-tion from the Roman Catholic Archbishop at Edmoii- ion. _Mr (lasgraiii was entertained at In banquet by the Conservative Associa- tion. eoNDuNsEn Aus.

Iii.-The Russians 'thus far have prevented the Germans and Austrians from carrying into ef- fect their efforts to force back the two extreme wings of the armies of Grand Duke Nicholas. At the north- ern extremity of the front that por- tion of 'Field Msrshai"Von Hinden- burg’s army commanded by General Von Buelow is still fighting for the bridge-head south of Friedrlclistadt, while the Austro-German forces un- der General Botlimr, who broke through the Russian lines on either side of Brzesany, Galicia, have been checked. At some points on the strip -a river along the rest ot' the front. the Germans claim to be making head- way although some who got to the forest region cast of Bilistek have suffered a reverse at the hands of the Russian rear guard. The points of most interest, however, are at the two wings. The Germans near Fried- erl.sctadt are well oast,of Riga and military experts hero say tiiat unless the Russians can dispose a consider- able force so as to threaten the Teu- tonic flank it appears improbable that l~‘ri<\dcriclistadt can be held much longer without grave danger. The threat against tho other wings is not so serious as it is more distant and the difficulties of the country are too great for rapid advance. In the Western tliontre of war the French continue artillery attacks and concentration at points witiiout as yet any evidence of it general offensive. The Italians are more active and to- night report the capture of another strong Austrian position southwest of Trout and of some Austrian trenches on the Carzoon rond to Trieste. Ac- cording to Italian avcoiints italian progress, while iiatiirully slow on ac- count of the iiatiirc oi` the country to be trnvorscd, is coiii.iiiiioiis.
