T. N. T. From Pulp Mills.

The world is using tremendous
amount of trlnitrotoluol, the high ex-
plosiye of this war. In fact the sup
niles OF toluol are In some danger
of running short What the Germans
will do about II Is not known. but the
allies are turning to the CANADIAN pulp
factories employing the sulphlte proc
ess.
1t appears that the turpentne from
spruce Is easily saved at the mills,
and can be readily converted into
toluol.
Since a gallon of turpentlne per cord
Of wood Is n possible by-product
and SIS per barrel is paid for 1t. there
will be some little increase in revenue
for the pulp makers, and the armies
will be enabled to keep on with their
good work of defeating the enemy.

There has been no abatement in the
strength of the offensive the British,
French and American troops are
throwing against the German armies
from Arras to the region of scissors.
And as yet there is no indication
that it is the purpose Of the seeming
ly demoralized enemy to turn about
and face their aggressors or to offer
more resistance for the present than
through the activities of strong rear
guards.
Not alone have the allied troops all
over the battle front from Arras to
scissors gained further important ter
rain, but to the north the British have
advanced their line materially in the
famous Lys sector-and apparently
without much effort on the part OF
the foe to restrain them.
OF greater significance than any OF
the other victories achieved in Fri
days fighting is the gain OF the French

The latest French official communi.

There are on exhibition at the state

graphs of the United States exhibit
which is to be shown at the fair the
week of October T. These photo
graphs are OF special interest at this
time. They depict scenes in which
evidences of what the government has
been doing are shown, and they can
but leave an impression on the mind
OF the spectator as to what magnitude
the government has acted in prepar-
ing itself to smash out the Hun.
The exhibit will cover several acres
OF ground, and will. as Manager

no other attractions.

be exhibited show what we have made
