been received at the militia depart-

were in the big drive which began Sat-

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

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.

ate fighting, which still is raging, the French-British
iorccs have undoubtedly proved their superiority.
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."

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

So far as infantry action was concerned the section

and the opposing artillery resumed their terrific can-
nonade.
