Stun and Beans.

For the News
A question oft confronts me,
Wher'er chance to roam,
Within this mighty service,
Which I've learned to call my home.
Through east and west I've wandered
Midst cold and torrid scenes;
Yet ever in the menu,
l find listed, Stun and Beans.
No matter il the snow drifts,
Without are piled up high,
No matter if you're baking,
Beneath burning tropic sky,
No matter if you're living at ease,
Like Kings and Queens,
Within the mess hall waiting,
Is plate of Stun and Beans.
Quite soon 1 grew disguised,
AT this quite simple fare,
And hungry went the mess call,
When knew it was waiting there.
Till to escape the menace,
/ shipped in the marines,
To find set out for supper,
The usual Stun and Beans.
l wonder if in Heaven,
Beyond the gates SO fair,
When we are all assembled,
To receive the verdict there,
When mess call softly echoes,
Resounds DER Heavens scenes,
We will find upon the table,
A dish of Stun and Beans.

Monte Cauriol.

Of persistent bad weather, our troops

slopes of Monte Majo, in the Posina
Valley, we drove back the enemy with
heavy loss, taking about twenty pris-

of our trench mortars compelled the
enemy to withdraw on section of his
front north of the summit.
"In Fassa, area of Avisio, after fierce
fighting our Alpine troops gained pos

German Communication.

Berlin, Aug. 29.-The War Office
issued the toIlowing announcement
to-day:
On numerous sectors of the front
the hostile fire was more active. The
artillery engagements on the Somme
front were very violent
North of the Somme the British at
tacks were repeated, with considerable
forces, between Thiepval and Pozieres,
These attempts failed, with heavy
losses for the enemy. At some places
there was hand-to-hand fighting,
which is continuing north of Ovillers,
with violence. Several hand grenade
attacks in Delville wood and south
east of Guillemont were repulsed.
On the right bank of the Mouse
(Verdun 'front.' the French attacked
between Triaumont work and Fleury
and in the adjoining wooded section.
The attacking waves broke down under
the fire of our artillery, machine guns
and rifles.
Minor hostile advances south and
southeast of st. Mihiel were without
success.
Three hostile aeroplanes were shot
down in aerial engagements. one south
of Arras and two near Bapaume. A
fourth aeroplane fell unchanged in
our hands east of st. Quentin.

Cars Troops Unable to
Break Deadlock in
GaIicia.

London, Aug. 90 Evidences are ac-
cumulating that Hindenburg is prepar-
ing for operations on large scale
along the East front probably on the
Stokhod line.
To-day the Teuton forces took the
field against the Russians in the region
Of Tobol. the scene Of bitter fighting
during the last three weeks. Between
that village and Helinin Brussiloff's
troops have established themselves in
strong positions on the western bank
Of the Stokhod.
Relying on deadly asphyxiating gas
shells. the Austrian and German in
fantry advanced at several points, but
we're hurled back with heavy losses.
Two thousand gas shells were used by
the Teutons during the day.
The Russians are still unable 10
break the deadlock along the Dniester
front. North of Nariampol and at other
points in this region they advanced TO
the attack, but always were repulsed
or found it impossible to consolidate
their gains before furious Austrian
counter attacks swept them back TO
their original positions.
Bothmer and Pfanzer apparently
have greatly strengthened their lines
in the arc around Lemberg, while at
the same time the Russians, because
of the entrance of Rumania into the
war, have for the time being abandoned
all serious attempts against the Cali
clan capital and have weakened their
forces here to prepare for joint op.

Bucharest. Aug. 2s via Pstrograd
and London. Aug 29).-The causes
which led Rumania 70 declare war on
Austria Hungary arc set forth IN a
note presented TO Count Czernin, the
Austro- Hungarian Minister to Rumania'
after a meeting of the Rumanian crown
council. at which it was decided 70 de-
clare war Summarized, the reasons
given are:
The Triple Alliance, to which ku-
mania was party, was broken when
italy declared war against Austria
Hungary.
Austria-Hungary threatened the IN
terests and national aspirations OF ku-
mania. ..
Austria-Hungary's assurances that II
was not inspired by spirit oil CON
quest or territorial gains. n attacking
Serbia have not been fulfilled.
Rumania was confronted with terri
torial and political changes menacing
her future.
Rumanians in Hungary suffered OPP
preston. arousing a continual state OF
animosity between the two nations.
Rumania desired to hasten the end
of the war. safeguard her racial inter
ests and realize her national unity
Teutons Broke Treaty.
The note, after defining the purposes
Of the Triple Alliance. as constituted
prior to the war, and after declaring
that this Alliance no longer existed
after Italy declared war on Austria
Hungary, said;
"Rumania remained in the peace
group Of states, seeking to work in
agreement in order to assure peace and
to conserve the situation. de facto and
de jure, created by treaties. Rumania
then found herself in the presence Of
powers making war for the sole pur-
pose of Transforming from top TO bot
tom the old arrangements which had
served as a basis for their treaty OF
alliance.
These changes were for Rumania
proof that the object she pursued in
Joining the Triple Alliance no longer
could be attained and that she must
direct her efforts in new paths, espe-
cially as the work undertaken by Aus
ria-Hungary threatened the interests
of Rumania and her national aspira
tions. Consequently Rumania resumed
her liberty of action.
