London, Feb. 11th-A French official
communicate states: During the night we
blew up at LaBoisselle three series of mines
aud succeeded in occupying the excavations
thus made, Notwithstanding q counter-attack,
which was repulsed with the bayonet. In
the Argonne artillery firing and bomb throw
ing occurred on all sides, particularly in the
region Of Balante and Bagatelle. The Ger
mans delivered a very violent, but ~fruitless,
attack Oh our Notifications at Marie Therese.
In Lorraine, at Lalisiere, east of the forest
of Parroy and north of that forest, our adj
vnnced posts easily repulsed attacks, and in
the VoSges at LaFontenelle on the Bandesapt
an attack by the enemy was checked
A Russian official bulletin announces: "In
East Prussia, fighting continues in the re-
gions of Lasdenen Ragoufrenen and Arts
biala. On the rest of the front, Oh the right
bank OF the Vistula, and along the whole
front on the left bank of the same river,

,Advices from P~etrograd state that, upon
the assembling OF the Douma, VI. G%olemykin,
President of the Council of Ministers, said
that confidence in a victory wa passing into
absolute conviction. The ARM. notwith-
standing it's losses, is stronger than ever, and
unity among the people has been rendered
stronger by the conquest of Galicia, the only
jewel lacking in the Imperial crown. M. Saz-
onoff, Minister for Foreign Affairs, denounced
the German intrigues, especially those OF the
German Am bassadOr at Washington, and
he desert bed the efforts made to secure peace
by sowing dissensions among the Allies,
whose unity was immutable. Events on the
Russo-Turkish frontier were covering the
Russia arms with fresh glory, and also
bringing Russia nearer the realization OF
her political and economical problems, which
are bound up with the question of Russia's
access to the open sea. The Donna unani-
mously resolved, and expressed its firm con-
~viction, that the great national and lib
Grating objects of the present war will
be achieved, and declared the infexible
det termination Of the Russian nation to
carry on the war until conditions have
been imposed on the enemy assuring the
peace of Europe and the restoration of
right and justice.
The correspondent of the "Daily Mali
describing the terrific fighting on the Bzura
says that, conservatively estimated, the Ger
man losses in killed alone in one position
in forty-eight hours were 1000 mel.
He quotes a Russian officer, wounded at
Goumine, as saying: eFlesh and blood
may be able to stand such slaughter, but not
the birth rate, and it must end soon. Under
cover of darkness the Germans appear to have
rushed q fresh army corps by trains, motors
and every conceivable conveyance along the
raj way from LoWiez to Warsaw. Quite
half Of these troops were shattered, but the
enemy shrank from no conceivable sacrifice.
We had picked troops at Goumine who were
entrenched up to their eyes, but still the
Germans came on, regiment after regiment,

London, Feb. 11th-The French and Ger
man official bulletins agree that there is moth
ing important to record in the Western thea
ire Of war.
A German official bulletin says "Isolated
fighting on the East Prussian frontier has
developed at some points into greater en-
gugements which are progressing normally.
III Poland, on the right and left banks OF
the Vistula, the situation is unchanged"
A Russian official statement yesterday,says:
"The Germans, who gradually had been con-
centrating in East Prussia with fresh troops,
began q series OF energetic reconnalsances oD
Sunday when they opened offensive opera
lions with considerable forces in the district
between Khorjele and Johannesburg, under
taking simultaneously active operations on
both wings OF their front. In East Prussia,
IN the vicinity of Lasdehnen, east of Tilsit,
we drove back an attack and succeeded in
almost completely annihilating one of the
German battulions. Following this encoun-
ter our cavalry moved forward in the direc-
ton of Sierpec, travelling over the road to
Rypin. Judging from the corpses aban-
doned by the Germans before our positions
they appear to have lost in dead and wound
ed several tens of thousands in the six days
fighting before Borjimow, Goumine, and the
neighbourhood. In the Carpathians The
fighting continues in the vicinity of Barjad
and Svidnik, the enemy here undertaking
active operations, but they were not con-
tinued and he finally retired, leaving prison
ers in our hands. IN the vicinity of Mount
LoupkOw we continued our pursuit and IN
one day captured SO officers, 5000 men and
10 machine guns. German columns having
made their way over the TOukholka Pass
delivered no fewer than twenty-five violent
attacks upon certain heights IN the re-
gion Of Kozaczowka occupied by us.
They cume forward to this attack several
ranks deep, presenting a full front line UNI
der our violent cross -tile, and twice took pos
session Of certain heights, but were dislodg-
ed by counter-attacks by our infantry. This
success was preceded by a long and violent
hand to hand fighting with the bayonet,
which is without precedent in history. Tie
losses sustained ID this engagement by the
Germans were excessively heavy. Attacks
10y the enemy in the vicinity of Wyszkow
also were repulsed."
The report continues: In order to attack
our positions near KozaczoWka the Germans
commenced their concentration OF troops on
Sunday night, and early next morning began
the delivery of an irresistible offensive move
ment, supported by very violent Ere from
their heavy artillery. They gained an i'm
portant height occupied by us, but We're
promptly driven from it before our bayonets.
Attacks then followed without cessation and
towards evening in very considerable num-
bers they took possession of the highest
position in our line, from which they were
dislodged only after desperate fighting.
Before retiring they exhausted all their
strength in a stubborn resistance to our
general counter-attack, q feature of which
was an unprecedented encounter with the
bayonet. All the side OF this hill was COW

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
~

1t has long been honored custom of our
people to turn in the fruitful utumn of the year
in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for
his many blessings and mercies to us
tOn The year that is drawing to close
since we last observed our day of national
thanksgiving has been, while year of discipline
because of the mighty forces of war and of
changes which have disturbed the world, also
year of special blessing for us.
Another year of peace has been vouchsafed;
another year which not only to take thought
of our duty to ourselves and to mankind, but
also to adjust ourselves to the many responsi-
bes thrust upon by which has in
volved almost the whole of Europe, We have
been able to assert rights and the rights of
mankind without breach of friendship with the
great nations with whom we have had to deal,
and while we have asserted rights, we have been
able also to perform duties and exercise priv
ieges of succor and hcpfulness which should
serve to demonstrate desire to make the
offices of Friendship the means of truly dsin-
terested and unselish service.
Our ability to serve all who could avail
themselves of our sacrifices in the midst of crs-
es has been increased, by gracious Providence,
by more and more abundant crops; our ample
financial resources have enabled us to steady
the markets of the world and facilitate necessary
movement of commerce which the war might
otherwise have rendered impossible; and
people have come more aud more to sober
realization of the part they have been called up
on to play ia time when all the world is shaken
by unparalleled disasters.
The extraordinary circumstances of such
time have done much to quicken national
conscentiousness aud deepen and confirm
confidence in the principles of peace and free.

very sorry to have to ane auY one,

used by all Libraries, are printed
on the pocket in the back of each
book. The committee does the
work of the Library without re-
muneralion, except the great JOY
of distributing books to people; it
is requested that each member do
his part in returning the books
promptly at the end OF the two
weeks, and not wait for the notih-
cation from the committee. Those
living in the country have the
privilege of keeping the books
three weeks.
The membership card, which
the member is supposed to keep

the date taken out. The commit
tee went to the expense of pur-
chasing the cards and pockets for
the express purpose of running the
