Superior court signed an order stat

There has been trouble over the

Wenman got a divorce in 1914 in this
city. Cruelty was the ground. Wen
man fled a cross complaint alleging
infidelity and naming Henry Slack Of
New York as correspondent. This
complaint was not pressed, however,
because of the effect it might have
on the childs future.
When the decree was signed the
child's custody was given to Wenman
with the understanding that the
mother could take the boy for GER

these visits that the fight to San

WAR TO VICTORY
IS RUSSIA'S AIM

Petrograd, July 30-Negotiations
for the reconst-' dction of the cabinet
are delayed 1wing to the conditions
raised by the non-Socialist parties
and also by the department of Pre-
mier and War Minister Kerensky for
the front.
Z The Premier has decided that the
new cabinet will be composed of Is
or 16 members, all equal in power.
The Constitutional Democrats, M.
Astroff and M Kishkin, both minis
terial candidates, have handed to the
Premier statement of the condi-
tons upon which they will collabor-
ate. Chief among these are war by
the side of the Allies until victory is
gained, definite home policy in the
struggle against anarchy and post
ponement OF social reforms until the
Constituent Assembly is convened.
The Constitutional Democrats are
resolutely opposed to the Minister of
Agriculture, M. Tchernoff; they also
appear to be against the Foreign
Minister, M. Terestchenko. But the
Premier says that he will refuse to
sacrifice either of these officials.
Z M. Astroff declares that if the non
Socialist Ministers, as M. Kerensky
demands, are proclaimed Independent
Of party dictation the Socialist Min
listers must cease taking instructions
from the Councils Of Deputies. A
conference of the representatives of
trade and industry, under the chair
manship of M. Kutler, former Minis
ter of Agriculture, has declared that
it will collaborate only If all the
power is oonfided in the provisional
government.
AS Premier Kerensky has announc-
ed that the reconstruction of the cab
met would not mean a change in the
governments program, these de-
mands would raise an obstacle against
such reconstruction. M. Tse-ete-.-s
Minister of Posts and Telegraph is
authority for the statement that il
the attempt at reconstruction fails the
present cabinet will remain in power
The Bourse Gazette estimates that
| there wiN be $50 delegates at. the
Moscow conference. On account OF
their attitude toward Russia the Fin
land, Ukraine and Maximalist parties
have not been invited to participate
Gems. Brussiloff and Korniloff, repre-
senting the troops at the front, will
probably attend the secret sitting OF
the conference.

perience of Canadian methods, any
attack in force was likely to be made.
That was good tactics, but the obvi-
Gus method of catching the enemy
mapping was to send an attacking
party in daylight while our lombard
ment was still in progress. This was
done. The range of our guns was in
creased as the men went over and so
cut the enemy outposts off from their
supports.
With ample equipment of machine
guns our men occupied the western
part Of Cite do Moulin and recon-
structed the many positions so that
they will afford fairly good shelter.
There has been as yet no serious
counter attack, on the northern part
of our line.
This morning quantity. of gas was
projected into the enemy's trenches
between hill 10 and Cite st. Laurent.
Heavy thunder storms have inter-
fered with the progress of trench de-
struction by our artillery.
