OTTAWA, Ontario, Oct 1S-Inci-
dents of recent fighting in the Arras
sector in Northern France, in which
members of the Canadian contingent
were engaged, are described in an of
fetal communication received from the
Canadian Headquarters in France by
Sir Samuel Hughes, minister of mill

Brig. Gen. Watson, Quebec, had just
passed along the trench when a mortar
shell fell into trench few feet from
Major Roy and his men. The shell did
not burst on impact, and, rushing to-
ward it, Major Roy bent down with
the object of seizing it and throwing
it over the parapet in order to save
the lives of those near him.
Before he could grasp it the projec-
tile exploded, inficting wounds from
which Major Roy died His gallant

ed by his brigade and divisional com
mander.
On the afternoon of Oct. s, contin-
ues the account, the enemy exploded
four mines at points on the front of
one Of our divisions, simultaneously
opening a heavy bombardment. The
enemy advanced into the craters, but
was driven out by our bombers.
At one point two German officers led
party through a crater. One was
blown to bits by our bombers and the
other rolled back into the crater. This
party then withdrew. A party of the
enemy next reached our parapet an6
attempted to effect a permanent lodg
ment, but was driven off with fixed
lbayonets. Our companies manned theil
lparapets and maintained a controlled
fire wherever the enemy showed him
self. The slight damage to our para
Ipets was speedily repaired.
The Twenty-second battalion, under
Colonel Gaudet of Montreal, and the
Twenty eighth battalion, under Colone
Embury, Regina, displayed great cool

ALLIED ARMIES
ARE ADVANCING
BuIgarians Defeated by the Timely Arrival of the
French and Project of Cutting the Saoniki-Nish
Railroad Frustrated Bulgarian Town Of Strum-
lisa Occupied

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-Serban and Anglo
French troops have occupied the Bulgarian
town of Strumitsa, 30 miles north of Sa-
loniki, according to official kilograms from
Athens. This follows closely upon news
that Serbia with allied resistance have re
pulsed an attack at Vilandova, turning the
advance of the Bulgarians into a retreat
beyond their own border.
Thus the AngIo-French-Serb action in
the Balkans has leaked out of field OF
surmise into fact and it is asserted by
London military observers to have been
crowned at the outset with success.
This arrival of French troops when the
Serbian struggle with 10000 Bulgarians at
Nilandova still hung in the balance, has
dramatic quality which for the moment
has completely eelipsed military exploits IN
the other theatres.
The chief military importance of the al
lied Serbian success is the defeat of the
Bulgarian project of cutting the Saloniki-
Nish railroad, which is known to have
been the Bulgarians' objective. 1t is not
clear whether British troops co-operated
with the French in this operation, but the
message from Athens stating they had left
Saloniki for the Serbo-Bulgarian frontier
indicated they were near the scene of the
fighting
Russian and Italian help has been only
indirectly asserted by the increased ag-
gressiveness against the Austro-Germans
making further DETECTION of the Teutonic
forces to the Balkans impracticable.
In the eastern theatre the Germans are
again attacking the Russian positions
southeast of Riga, but the Petrograd com
mentators regard this to be purely a dem
onstration calculated to distract the attcn-
tion from the Dvinsk region and Galicia,
which have greatly gained in Importance
with the Balkan development.
1t is clear that with the battle which
Gen. Ivanhof continues with varying sue
cess the Germans have been unable to es-
tablish themselves on the eastern bank of
the river Stripa With particularly intent
artillery fire continuing on both sides in
the Champagne region, the French war Of
flee reports slight progress. A strong bar
ricadc to the southeast of Melville has been
captured and the woods position has been
consolidated.

BRITAIN NEEDS 5000, 900.
Recruiting officer Says This Number OF
Men Must Re Secured by Spring.

LONDON, Oct. 18-Great Britain
needs 100000 more men by spring.
This declaration was made yesterday by
Brighten. Sir Eric Swayne, director of
recruiting in the northern command, in
speech at Hull. Gen. Swayne estimat-
ed that Germany still has between g.
100000 and l0,0O0,O00 men from the
ages Of IS 70 -, and that therefore it
was useless to talk about wearing Ger
many cut.
in the spring said he, Germany would
lose more men than the allies which
would balance the numbers Of the allies
and the central powers, but if Great
Britain should raise 100000 addition
AL Germany probably would recognize
that it would be fruitless TO continue.
Great Britain, ne added, did not want
conpulsion, but unless 100000 more
men were recruited by spring the mill
tary authorities could not be response

Mr.. Bats said he wanted to make

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

While the Bulgarians and Serbo-French
forces are clashing for the possession of the
Saloniki-Nish railroad in southern Serbia
the Austro-German invaders are continu-
ing their advance from the north. Berlin
today reported further progress for the
Teutonic armies south of Belgrade and in
the Pora Pozarevc region.
On the Save-Drina front, where the Ser
bians have apparently hardly moved since
the beginning of the invasion, they are
now beginning to give way. The Bulga-
rians, pressing from the east to form a
junction with the Teutonic forces. have
captured additional heights.
Hard fighting continues in sections of
the western front. Berlin chronicles the
repulse of repeated attacks of the British
with strong forces in the vincity of
Vermelles and the breaking up of
French advances at Tahur in Champagne.
Defeat for the French in attempts to re-
take lost positions in the Eosges is also re-
ported by the German war office.
In the official report from Paris the only
infantry clash of Importance noted was
in the neighborhood OF Souchez. where
three German attacks against positions
there We're completely checked
In Russia Field Marshal Won Finden-
burg reports good progress in attacks
south of Riga.
