HIS SON WOUNDED I'm WAR.
John Kane of Barre Gets Forcible Re-
minder of Its Stern Realities.

The stern realities of the European
war were brought forcibly home to a
Barre man, John Kane of Maple avenue,
when he received clipping from an
Aberdeen paper telling Of the wounding
Of his son, Alexander Kane, in the great
battle of Mons in southern Belgium.
The young man was not critically in
iured and hopes to return to the front
from Netley hospital.
A letter from the front to the young
mans relatives in Woodside, Scotland,
telling OF Private Kane's injury, says he
was in the fighting line for three days
and toward the close of the third day
was shot in the right hand. The letter
goes on to say: -The fighting was ter
rible. The Germans made terrible on
slaughts, but we managed to keep our
heads and held them in check"
Private Kane was a member OF the
Kings Own Scottish Borderers. The clip
ping says OF him: "Kane who is a
young fellow of fine physique, Is in ex-
celIent spirits and hopes he will soon be
able to go to the front again. Before
enlisting. he was employed at Grand
holm Mills. He is son of John Kane,
stoneeutter,> who is now at Barre, Yer
mont, L. S. A."

CANADIANS MAY SHOOT
AT ANY AIR CRAFT
Fear Is Expressed That Some German
Sympathizer May Float Over Bor-
der and Drop Bomb.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. ls.-Air craft have
crossed the American border on several
occasions since war began in Europe, and
fear that German or Austrian sympa-
thizer in the United States or Canada
may resort to bomb throwing has led
the Canadian government to make regu-
lations, announced last night, governing
the movements of aeroplanes in Canada
A few days ago, it is learned, the ac-
tions of an aeroplane in the vicinity OF
the Welland canal excited so much sus-
picion that canal guards were prepared
to fire on it.
The government under the regulations
forbids fight within ten miles of the
principal centers of populations, and
points at which aeroplanes may alight
have been designated.
Guards have been ordered to fire on air
craft within ten miles of Halifax, st.
John, Sydney, Charlottetown, Quebec,
Montreal, Ottawa, Edmon-
ton, Kingston, Toronto, London, Winni-
peg, Regina, Calgary, Victoria and Van
couver, and OF any government wireless
station.

GERMANS REPORT
PLENTY OF MONEY
War Loan Subscriptions Surpassed All
Expectations Is the Statement
Officially Given Out.

London, Sept, ls.-The following Ger
man official statement was received here
last night by the Marconi Wireless Tele-
graph company.
''lt is reported from East Africa that
German colonial troops have successfully
attacked the Uganda railway at different
points.
Information has been received from
Cape Town to the effect that a German
division on the Orange river has been
surprised and made prisoners by the
South African forces.
"All Germans between 10 and As
years of age resident in states of the
South African union are being accommo-
dated in the concentration camp at
Roberts Heights.
subscriptions to the German war
loan, which began at the savings banks,
have surpassed all expectations.
"Servian forces which crossed the
River Save have been repulsed every
where. The enemy has now been cleared
out of the districts of Syrmia and Banat.
rifles in the form of sticks have been
taken from Belgian franctireus (irregu-
lar troops.) These rifles we're being
made stationary and could be fired by
merely pressing button. Our troops
have been warned of the danger of these
apparently harmless instruments in the
hands of fantatical Belgiums.
The report in London that the Ger
mon moratorium has been extended to
the end of September is untrue. A mora
torium was neither required nor deereed.
All the banks are carrying on business
as usual"

ARMIES HURL DEFIANCE
IN TREMENDOUS BATTLE
ALONG THE RIVER AISNE

French allies and spoke Of what would
be done in the future of the war, whlcn
he said probably would be long one.
"There are already in France, sali
Earl Kitchener, "rather more than SIX
divisions of our expeditionary."
! The latest advces from Sir john
French, he said. did not materially
change the situation from the published
! statements.
The troops were in good heart ready
to move forward when the moment al
rfyes..
In addition to the six divisions of
troops. he said, there were two divisions
| of cavalry in France which were being
maintained at their full strength, while
further regular divisions and additional
, cavalry were being organized from units
drawn from overseas garrisons.
A division Of territorials already had
fieft for Egypt, he said brigade for
Malta and a garrison for Gibraltar. As
to the two new armies, new divisions
were now assembling at training quar-
ters and third army was being formed
on the new camping ground. fourth
army was being created and Indian d.
visions were on their way.
A steady flow of reinforcements were
required, said Earl Kitchener.
In his dispatches from the front, Sir
John French, commander OF the British
expedtionary forces, had omitted, the
secretary continued, one aspect of the
situation-''th consummate skill and
calm courage Of the commander him.
self"
The government appreciated, however,
the full value of Sir Johns services.
Earl Kitchener also paid tribute to
the other generals and the bravery and
endurance of the officers and men OF tie
expeditionary force.
On the subject Of recruiting, Earl
Kitchener said:
"A country which prides itself on out
door sports as does England, should have
no difficulty in finding men capable Of
making officers. The territorials are
making great strides in efficiency ami be
fore long will be able to take their part
in the campaign. Meanwhile, reserve
units are being sent to augment the ex-
peditionary force and their places are
being filed by territorials.
'NVhile England has good ground FOR
quiet confidence. it should be borne IN
mind that the struggle is bound 70 be
long one, and it 5ehooves us to develop
armed forces to carry on and bring II
mighty conflict to successful conce-
sion. 1t will be necessary to keep The
army at it's full strength te maintain a
steady flow Of rei1fofcenerts.P

SHOT OFF TOP OF HEAD
IN SUICIDAL MOOD
Homer Palmer of Sheldon Junction Had
First Warned Member of Household
He Was Going Away.

Sheldon, Sept Homer Palmer
committed suicide at 6 O'Clock this
morning by shooting off the top of his
head at the home of Y. +. Willard at
Sheldon junction, where he had boarded
for the past four years while he was
working on the railroad section. Palmer
was "a years of age.
Early this morning Mrs. Hattie Clark,
who is employed by Mrs. Willard, heard
Palmer call to her. She went to his
room and saw him standing in the mid
die of the floor. Palmer told her he was
going away and wouldn't be down for
breakfast. Mrs Clark told him he bet
ter get breakfast before he started and
then left him and went down stairs.
Presently she heard the report of gun.
The other members of the household
were aroused, and on going to the room
of Palmer they found his body stretched
across the bed with the gun resting be-
tween his knees. The top of the head
was blown off. Evidently the man had
fred the weapon by using cleaning rod
of the gun.
An inquest was held later before s. B.
Thomas. notary. with DIR. F. NJ. Brown
of Sheldon as the chief witness. II is
said that of late Palmer had been drink
ing considerably. He had no relatives,
so far as known.
