BOCHE INFANTRY INACTIVE
Canadians Subjected to Gun Fire Of
Harassnu Kind.

Canadian Headquarters IN france,
Oct. t. (Monday) - (By Canadian
Press)-Smarting undet the heavy
losses sustained in the heavy fighting
f last week north Of Cambria, the
Germans have given up infantry at
tacks for the moment but continue to
subject the Canadiar' to harassing
artillery fire. In the fighting last week,
according to prisoners, the enemy suf-
fered tremendous punishment with
the result that some Of his divisions
are in no condition to contest with
the Canadians the possession OF the
high ground west and north OF cam
brai.
Fires can be seen burning in Cam
brai from Canadian positions in the
suburb of ST. Ole. There are no in
dications that the enemy is making
systematic attack to destroy the city.
1t Is believed he is burning his ammu-
milton dumps and other heavy material
preparatory to evacuation.

CAUSES HEAVY EXPENSE
Lieut. Col. Banks Makes Plea for More
Careful Examination of Registrants.


Careful Examination Of Registrants.
Washington. Oct. 8.-Hasty or su-
perficial examination of draft regis
trants sent to cantonments by draft
board physicians is not only taxing
this country's hospital and medical re-
sources, but necessitates immediate
additional physical and sanitary facili-
ties, government experts testified this
afternoon before the house committee
on buildings and grounds.
Lieut.. Col Banks, Of the federal war
risk insurance bureau, stated that a
draft board physician often had only
fifteen minutes to determine the thirty
points in physical examination OF a
registrant, and that ut was doubtful
If he could tell an eye from nose
by the time he was through his neces-
sarily hasty and impossible task.
Banks explained that so many regis
trants passed by draft board physicians
were rejected by cantonment surgeons
for physical defects that the govern
ment now had $4,000 tuberculosis pa
tients to care for with the prospect of
10000 more. He also estimated the
number of epileptic patients at $4,000.

ALLIES CUTTING INTO
FLANKS OF ENEMY
Swift Advance Imperils Various
Groups of German
Army.

Paris. Oct. s.-The fruits Of Marshal
Foch's mastery strategy are accumu-
lating.
French military experts today ex-
pressed the opinion that the Germans
will regret that they did not retreat
on larger scale when the strategical
situation was opportune.
The allies are cutting into the tanks
or the German army and are menac-
ing vital lines Of communication.
Swift advances of the allies are i'm
periling various groups of the German
army. There was an example of this
on the Champagne front within the
past few days when Gen. Won Mudra's
army was nearly surrounded before it
could retire to safety.

GERMANY IN DREAD
OF ECONOMIC WAR

LONDON, June %. - President
Achelis of the Bremen Import Asso-
citation, in letter to the Nordeutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung, admits the I'M
pleasant character of the weapon
which the Entente possess in the shape
of an economic war He says:
1t would be wrong to believe that
we can find substitute for our form
er world economic position in the form
of a close union with the countries
situated east and southeast of Ger
many and Austria-Hungary. 1t is just
as erroneoos to suppose that we shall
protect ourselves against an economic
war by establishing large number OF
monopolistic military organizations.
We must therefore endeayor to in
duce our opponents to abandon their
eventful plans of an economic war.
Let our watchword be overcome
the economic war by peace terms.

One PLATINUM RING
MAY WING A GERMAN

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Dont buy
platinum jewelry! is the latest war
urge.
The whims of fashion, which have
created a great demand for platinum
in jeweldy, have not yielded to the
national needs as readily as had been
expected. The Bureau of Mines so
announced to-day in making a re-
'newed appeal to the people to realease
this precious metal so that the
American war machine may go
ahead at full speed"
The bureaus announcement said
that aside from the large amount of
platinum in the form of manufactured
jewelry, there is less than rs per cent.
of the normal stock of manufactured
platinum in the country available for
war needs. AS this metal is necces-
sary in the production of nitric and
sulphuric acids, in the manufacture
of nitrates from the air, magn sttis
for airplane engines contacts for
telephone and telegraph Instruments
and many other war uses, officials
are apprehensive as to the future sup
ply.
Consequently the public is asked
not to purchase any platinum jew
eiry, either during the war or there
after.
