Departure of Canada'S
 South African Troops

All Canada resounded to cheers of patriotic enthusiasm 19 years ago to- day, on the eve of the departure of the first Canadian contingent of troops for South Africa. From St John to Charlottetown to Vancouver and Victoria there were manifesto . tions of the spirit of unity in the em- l pire which were wholly without pre- cedent in Canada, and which reached the highest manifestation when Can adds first troops left for the greater fight in Europe four years ago. At the time of the South African war everybody was singing "The Soldiers of the Queen" Quebec, the point of departure, decorated all its principal buildings and streets in the imperial colors Delegates from nearly all the cities and towns of the Don't ,ion as- sembled there to give the troops a glorious "send off," which Is quite ir contrast to the present method, when the point of departure for the troops i is not even known to their relatives l An immense throng cheered the thousand soldiers of the Dominion when they sailed away-some of never to return. The troopship Sardiniar arrived at Cape Town on Nov. 29. Int contingent, known as the Royal Cana
 dian Infantry, was commanded b! Lieut.-Col w. D. Otter, veteran O the Northwest Rebellion.

NOT BELIEVED
 GERMANY HAS
 GIVEN UP SUBS

London, Monday, Oct. 2s-Reports of German submarines being recalled to home ports, coupled with compar- ative inactivity on the part of the U-boats, are being discussed by Ad- mtralty officers here. It is not be- lieved that Germany has abandoned her submarine war.
 The view officially expressed is that Germany in checking the operations of submarines, hopes to lend weight to the reports that she is withdrawing them.
 It Is possible that Germany expects to create a better feeling in Amer ica.
 At the Admiralty it is believed if the inactivity continues most of the submersibles will be withdrawn.
 One Admiralty officer said:
 If the war continues, you may ex- pect the submarine menace to be as great, If not greater, by January tha- any with which we have yet had t deal"

Yankee Menace To
 Metz Scares Foe
Rows of Trenches, Protect ed by Charged Wires Un--
 der Nasty Construction.

With the American Army Northwest Of Verdun, Oct. 29 - Although the German army is making the most desperate effort i'll the wars history to prevent the Americans from break ing through in the vital Verdun sec tor, it is equally ort more fearful that there may be a breach endangering Metz, with the consequent necessity of abandoning all the territory still occupied and an invasion of the Ger man empire itself.
 With division after division of troops, machine guns and artillery, the enemy is bitterly defending him. self west of Verdun. But it is with an elaborately strong trench system, with rows of barbed wire, and even electrified wire, that he has been fe- verishly working the past few weeks to make Metz invulnerable. The sys- tenn has been laid out, roughly, be- tween Pont-a-Mousson, Fayrincourt and the river Seille, with a parallel front from Cheminot to Vic.
 The enemy's activity first showed itself between Chateau-Salins and Moyenvic, where no less than five parellel trenches have been construct ed and three on the reverse side of the slopes. The greater part of the system has only recently been com pleted. Two additional lines in the rear have already been planned and traced out and a double system ot dugouts and machine gun emplace- ments has been prepared This posi- ton is continued in the direction ot Marsal and Mulcey.
 Another position has been hastily organized, depending upon the heights of Juvelize and Donnelay. It run: along the ridge upon which is situated | Marimont Chateau and passes abou a third of a mile from Bourdonay; i follows the southern outskirts O. Maizieres Wood and finally reaches the southern outskirts of Rechicour Forest and the heights of Foulerey east of Avricourt. The southern pivot of this fortified position is situated northwest O Grey. The greater part of the lint is strong with electrically charged wires, the current of which is fur nished by high tension generators | plants being located at the Salin l Gorge, Morhauge and Sarrebourg.

SUGGEST SENDING FLEEING RUSSIANS
 TO THIS COUNTRY

Stockholm. Saturday, Oct. 26-The overflow into Scandinavia of Russian refugees seeking an asylum in Fin land has created such a problem that Dr. Hellner, the Swedish foreign min ister, has taken up the question with Great Britain. Sweden, he said, has had to refuse a new invasion of the Russians.
 Thousands of victims of the Bolshe- wiki regime have fled into Finland and are compelling the Finish population to divide with them the meagre sup plies of food.
 In some government circles in Sweden it is declared the only rational solution of the Russian problem would be to send the whole stream ta America, as Europe, for some time will not be able to feed and shelter the Russians. Most of the refugee; belong to the former well-to-dc classes in Russia.
