In East Prussia the great Russian army has begun its forward march, and in Galicia tho Austrian army of 600,000 is in a precarious position with Russian troops on three sides and bog land on the fourth. Alto- gether yesterday was a red-letter day in the history of the war, and seemed to indicate that n turning-point had been reached in the fortunes of thc Allies. According to the Paris correspon- dent of the London Chronicle, the world's great puzzle of yesterday was the disappearance southward of the German host, which was supposed to be ready to dash itself against Paris. lt has gone and no one outside the war zone seems tg know whither it has gone. though surmises are rife. The French have advanced ten miles from their base, thus clearing the third defences of Paris, without evidently meeting the enemy, and an Antwerp message shows that large numbers of Germans are repassing Liege on their way back to Germany.

His Royal Highness regrets that owing to existing conditions of bad weather the men have been unable to do anything to- day consequently he has been prevent- ed from seeing the troops at the work. He wishes however to impress upon all ranks the necessity of devoting their best energies to trslnin'g in camp and the necessity of maintaining a high standard of discipline. His Royal Highness, leaves the camp with the knowledge that a line spirit prevails among the patriotic Canadians who have come forwardso splendidlyfrom all parts of the Dominion to take their share in defence of Empire at this try- ing time in her history and he feels 'confident that their example will bo followed by all Canadians capable of helping the Motherland in the field should the call be made upon them.

Despite this fact however, every man in cam worked as usual today but the hlrdllxps did not last as long as usu- al.

The list of those who will go in the first contingent will be given out in a day or two. The headquarters staff are now preparing it. Medical examinations are practically completed as well as the shooting test which is also very important. No doubt a considerable number of officers will be disappointed.

LONDON, September 8.-It is learned on reliable authority that the captain and fifty of the crew of the British cruiser l’athi'inder, which was sunk by a mine in the North Sen, have been saved. The destruction of the Pathfinder occurred about four o'clock Satur- day afternoon at a point ten miles nortlieast of Saint Abb‘s Ilead, Scotland. Wllile she was patrolling the coast the cruiser struck a mine, which ex- ploded near her magazine. Trawlers ten miles distant felt the shock. From Eyemouth, fourteen miles from the scene of the explosion, a huge cloud of smoke was visible on* the horizon. A torpedo destroyer was the first to the r\"=v\\e. Sine was followed by the Saint Abl)’s motor life boat. The Pathfinder was literally blown to pieces, and the sea was strewn with v/rvcliage. The dcvasting effect of thc explosion on the Pathfinder is empathized in the report of Coxswaill Nisbet, of flio Saint Abb's motor life boat which first arrived to give assistance. He says that for a 'mile and a half thei water wus strewn with wreckage off every coiuzclvalilc description.

About ninety of the crew of the Pntlifindcr, dead and wounded. were picked up by torpedo boats and `aptuin l.c.¢1l\e and sewral other offl- cers were saved. According to offi- rial unnmluccnl-ent the casualtii-s among thc officers were: One killed, eight missing, one seriously wounded and one slightly wounded.

I do not know how any wlrcless opera- tor could have sent n message from the cruiser. as there seemed to be no time for anything. The ship's back must - have been broken, and the two minutes following the explosion and before she sunk must have been terrible. But somebody seems to have kept his head, and a wireless message was certainly sent out. Three other destroyers soon arrived.
