Ottawa. Ont.-Major- Sir
Sam Hughes stormy career as Cana
dian minister OF militia and defense
came to an end with his resignation
from the Borden ministry.
General Hughes submitted his res
ignation at the formal request of Pre-
mier Sir Robert Borden, after the
premier had conferred at Rideau hall
with the duke of Devonshire, Canada's
new encouragement, who arrived
here with his family from England.
The premier's conference at Rideau
hall was preceded by cabinet coun-
ell. Reports emanated from the coun-
ell that the minister would resign, and
caused sensation in government cir
cles.
The break between General Hughes
and Premier Borden and other men,
bers OF the Canadian government re-
suited from differences over questions
of policy and details of administra-
ton. Since the beginning OF the war
there have been many such differ
ences on questions OF military man.
agement, but until recently it is said
they have been adjusted generally by
allowing General Hughes to carry out
his plans.
One of the points over which a diff
ference arose was the supplying OF
the Canadian forces with the British
army rifle. General Hughes. it il
reported, advocated instead the use Of
a Canadian weapon.

Second and Ledyard streets, just

The conditions surrounding the
body when the officers from head
quarters arrived indicated that the
dead patrolman had been murdered

attacked with knives. Four knife
wounds were found in his coat and
another slash in his hat. His assail-
ants had apparently then succeeded

upon the body OF their victim, the
slayers then fed to safety.
The murder OF the policeman was

THE ANCRE RIVER.
MANY PRISONERS CAPTURED
General Won FaIkenhayn's Campaign
Against Aumapia Takes Three
More Towns.

London-What may become known
as the battle of the Ancre opened
when the British forces struck fresh
blow against the German front in the
region OF the Ancre river. There had
been no serious fighting in this sec.
tor since the opening of the British
push, July l, when the British line of
attack extended five miles north of
the Ancre to Gommecourt.
Frequent trench raids during recent
weeks indicated that some new move
was contemplated, but the bad wealth
er, which has prevented any serious
operations since October 81, when the
last big attack was launched on the
Sehwaben-le-Sars sector, delayed the
blow.
Apparently the Germans we're
taken by surprise as they offered no
serious resistance except before
Serre. The attack was carried out
over a front extending five miles on
both sides of the Ancre against po-
sitions which the Germans had held
for two years. 1t resulted in the cap
Pierre Divion, with a gain of new
ground OF a maximum depth of one
mile and a large number of prisoners,
between 5000 and 1000 having al
ready been reported.
The positions north of the river are
described as OF extraordinary
strength, Beaumont-Hamel equaling
Triepval in the extent and security
of its dugouts.
The fighting continues north OF

Schwaben-le-Sars line, threatens the
