Canada is sending thousands of
men to fight in the Eng glish army.
In Fredericton, which is the capital
OF New Brunswick, there is big mil
itary school which, judged, is being
maintained by the English govern
ment. Men and boys are drilling
and being recruited every day. AS
soon as one great delegation is
ready to take their places in the
ranks others are brought in. While
! was there there entered the great
yard an old Englishman who had
lived in Canada for years. With him
came his three sons. He told the Of
ficers in charge that he was too old
to enter the army but he would give
his boys. all of whom were anxious
to fight for the English cause. That
particular delegation was escorted to
the railroad station by three bands
and at the depot every man was ten
dered what in our money would be
equivalent to five dollars.

over 5000 Seotchmen leave for the

playing, and it was a most interesting
sight.

JAPAN To

MAY SEND TROOPS TO AID ENG
LAND IN INDIA BUT CANNOT
AID THE ALLIES ON THE EURO
PEAN CONTINENT.

New York, Aug. 3f-Japan cannot
send troops to EUROPE to assist the
allies in the fighting there, although
she stands ready to help them in the
far east according to the Japanese
consul here, Takashi Nakamura. This
statement was made in reply TO gues-
tions as to whether Japan would send
soldiers to Europe to aid the allies
or organize an expedition to help
keep Turkey at bay.
Our agreement with Great Brit
aim said the consul general rs
such that she need have no fear OF
removing her troops from india TO
the war zone. That agreement binds
rs to protect the interests of Great
Britain in just such an emergency,
and the agreement includes india and
China.
Tn the event of Turkey getting in
to this war. which is not so promis-
ing as II may seem, Japan woud send
to India a sufficient force to keep
down any uprising of the natives that
might be fomented by Turkish or Ger
man interests. Such a movement of
Japanese troops is covered in the
agreement
'In the other hand we eanuot send
troops 10 the war no matter what the
fortunes OF the allies may be Our
agreement does not call for aid in
chat direction. In the second place,
it would be almost ,s=Dossbie to get
enough troops into ie war zone to be
of any service at he last desperate
cry for help"
The Turkish consul general. Djeiai
BeS laughed when he was asked
about the probability Of his country
going to war
Turkey has Just passed through

success by our right, where we have
thrown back the Prussian guard and
the Tenth army corps into the Disc.
owing to the progress OF the Ger
man right wing, where our adverse,
ries have united their best corps, we
have had to mark new retirement
"On our right after partial checks,

enemy is retiring before us.
In the center we have had alto~ra-
tive checks and successes, but a gen
eral action is now being fought.
"On our left by series OF circum-
stances which turned in favor of the
Germans and despite lucky counter
attacks the Anglo-French forces were
obliged to give way. AS yet our
armies. Notwithstanding a few incon-
testabie checks, remain intact. The
morale of our troops is excellent in
spite of considerable losses which
also are being filled rapidly from

Paris Gives Actual Situation.

Paris, Aug, SD, 55 p. m.--The fol,
lowing official statement was issued
tonight by the war office:
The situation in general is actual.
ly as follows
'First-ln the Vosges and in Lor-
raine, it must be remembered. our
forces, which had taken the offensive
at the beginning OF the operations
and driven the enemy outside of our
frontiers, afterwards underwent seri-
Gus checks. Before Sarreburg and in
the region Of Morhagne where they
encountered solid defensive works,
our forces were obliged to fall back
and TO reform, one part on Couronnne
de Nancy and the other on the
French Vosges
'The Germans then assumed the of
fensiye, but our troops after having
thrown them back upon their posi-
tions, resumed the offensive two days
ago, this attack continues to make
progress, although slowly. 1t is a
veritabe war OF siege as each posi-
tion occupied is fortified Immediately
'"This explains the slowness of our
advance, which is nevertheless char
acterized each day by fresh local
successes.

OF the campaign in this section be-
tween Metz, on the German side, and
Toul and Vordun on the French side,

Meuse. between Derm and Mezieres,
it will be remembered, the Frencn
forces took the offensive in the be-
ginning toward Longwy, Nenfchatedu
and Palizuel. The troops operating
in the region of Spincourt and In.
guyon have been able to check the
enemy's army under the command OF
the German crown prince.
"ln the regions of Neufchateau and
Palizuel on the other hand certain of
our troops have received partial
checks which obliged them to retire
upon the Meuse without having their
organization broken up. This retr-
ins movement has compelled the
forces operating in the neighborhood
OF Spncourt to withdraw also toward
the Meuse.
During the last few days the
enemy has endeavored to spread oft
from the Meuse with considerable
forces, but by vigorous counter Oh
great losses. In the meantime, fresh
forces of Germans advanced to the
district of Rocreoy Tin Ardennes),
