MlNISTRATIoN HAS FOL
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness tho AdministFa-
ton has followed, not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described a.
nervous and excited" Only
about = year and = half ago We
were told that the question Of
preparedness was not q press
ing one; that the country had
been misinformsd. Later, under
the pressure of other leader
ship. this attitude was changed.
The Administration, it was
said, had Learned something"
and it made q belated demand
for An increased army. Even
then, the demand was not prose-
cuted consistently and tho pres
sure exerted ON Congress with
respect to other Administrative
measures was notably absent.
We are told that the defects
revealed by the present mobili-
cation are due to the "system."
But 1t was precisely such plain
defects that under the constant
warnings Of recent years, with
the whole world intent on mill
tary concerns, should have been
studied and rectifed. The Ad-
ministration has failed to dis
charge its responsibilities. Ap-
parently, 1t IL now seeking to
meet political exigencies by its
naval program. But 1t has i'm
posed upon the country an in

between the Adige and the upper Isonzo the
enemy continued his violent bombardment of
our line, and at points launched strong infan-
try attacks. Hostile artillery activity in
creased yesterday on the left bank of
the Le1o in the Pasubio area and at
the head of the Posina torrent. In
the Sugana and the upper Cordevole
valley infantry actions took place which
were particularly heavy on the slopes of
Monte Self where three attacks on our posi-
tons failed. At the head of the Coznana
valley in the Falzarego area, the enemy's
heavy batteries fred 500 rounds on our
trenches without effect. The enemy again
shelled villages in the Chiarzo and upper
Dogana valley. Our artillery retaliated, de-
stroying an enemy camp near Raibed in the
Seebach valley. On the lower Isonzo there
have been lively artillery duels. During our
attack of Aug. 4th in the Monfalcone area
the enemy evacuating positions left behind
special gas bombs which exploded as we
entered the trenches.

The Children's Cantata by the Lutheran
Sunday School came off as advertised last
night; and a respectable audience of appa-
rently about four hundred enjoyed a very
delightful treat. To take in hand and sue
c~essfulIy render musical collections, with such
q gathering OF children, some of them mere
tots, must be a task of no easy kind, and
indeed great praise is due to those who
manifested by it's good results the untiring
efforts, care and zeal shewn in the work.
Our friend Mr.. G.. Motta, lately returned to
his nome was particularly good in his leading
and support Of the various choruses, and
promises TO hold a strong light in the future
on the platform as a vocal entertainer.
In this rather dull place it is well to give
encouragement to all such wholesome and
agreeable pastime and it is hoped that an
approaching community will be never lack
ing in the necessary support Comma'oe5-
Gated.

Paris, Aug. 5th.-All German attacks on
the French positions last night were repuls-
ed. SAYS the French official statement issued
this afternoon, the Germans sustaining heavy
losses. A Commandment of the most violent
character took place over the entire sector of
Thiaumont and Fleury.T The battle lasted from
nine o'clock last night until this morning.
the Germans making unsuccessful efforts to
drive the French from Thiaumont Wood.
After q spirited engagement in the village of
Fleury, the situation is without appreciate
change. Four German aeroplanes were
brought down by the French on Friday.
London, Aug. 5th.-Sir Ernest Shackle-
ton has again failed to rescne the mninbody
of his Antarctic expedition left on Elephant
Island, says the "Daily Chronicle" and has re-
turned to The Falkland Islands. Sir Ernest, the
correspondent adds, recognizes that ii is use
less to attempt to force a passage with a
light ship and he is waiting for the steamer
Discovery to come from England.
London, Aug. 5th.-Constantinople and
the suburbs OF Kartal and Perblk recently
were bombarded by u submarine from the
Sea of Marmora.
New York, Aug. 5~th.-Strikes were in
effect today on virtually every surface car
line in the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens
and the Bronx, involving $500 conductors
and motormen and affecting 1900, 900 per-
sons who daily use these lines. The test to
determine whether the organization of en-
ployees recently formed could paralyze the
street cor traffic of the city, began early
today when citizens going to work sought
transportation. Indications at 7.30 a.. m.
were that all surface ear lines in Manhattan,
the Brook and Queens were nearly tied up.
A few cars guarded by police were moved.
The Labour Leaders asserted that 7 per cent
of the employees of the New York railway
company which operates the majority of the
surface lines in Manhattan had voted to
strike. The elevated and subway lines which
were not affected by the strike vote, were
thronged by persons who were unable to use
the surface lines. Threats have been made THAT
the strike eventually will be extended to
those systems. The street railway lines in
volved include the New York railway COM
pany, the second avenue line, the third aven-
ne railway company and two lines in the
Bronx.
London, Aug. 5th.-The Daily Express
quotes the following from the Cologne
Volks Zeitung. We have suffered hea-
Wy losses in human life and happiness
and now the question arises what will hap
pen next. None can say when peace will
come, for there is no sign whatever that
our enemies have abandoned the idea of
destroying us. There is no war in which
there are neither conquered or conquerers.
In the present war there will also be a
conquerer and a conquered. II We are not
the conquerors we shall be the conquered
and must suffer the consequences. It is
evident therefore, that the time has not
yet come for sheathing our sword with
honour. Standing on the threshold OF the
