A despatch from Sofia says: Whether the European concert holds together or breaks up there is reason to believe that the allied States will hold firmly to their pro- gramme. They already have under- gone enormous sacrifices, and are prepared to face every eventuality. Only those who have been brought into close contact with the terrible realities of this war -can estimate the extent of those sacrifices. In Sofia the wounded are arriving lit- erally in thousands.- All the larger public and many private buildings have been transformed into hospi- tals. Even at that some have to be laid on the bare floors. The wound- ed from the last great battle have yet to arrive.

A mistaken order allow- ed a. work train to run out of Chwp- leau in face of an cumming freight train, the two being hidden from each other by the curving nature of the tracks.

A despatch from Winnipeg says: Two families of this city were plunged in grief on Tuesday night when one member of a hunting party returned with the news that his two companions, Edgar Guy Lees and" Henry Keene, had been drowned at Netley’s Portage in the storm that swept over this section Monday night.

A despatch from Montreal says: Fire on Sunday night destroyed the premisespof the Consumers Cordage Comp-any and the Canadian Bag Company in St. Patrick Street, Point St. Charles, causing damage roughly estimated. at $300,000. For three hours the full fighting strength of the city’s fire depart- ment battled with, a weak water supply to save neighboring struc- tures. The fire broke out a few minutes after 8 o’clock in the facâ€" tory of the Canadian Consumers Cordage Company, and by the time the firemen of the Point St. Charles division had arrived it was rushing through the long, low building, and had spread to the lumber piles along the banks of the Lachine Ca- nal. Owing to the low pressure due to recent accidents to the pumps at the water works it was impossible to throw a stream of water any dis- tance, and the fire spread with startling rapidity. Only when pumping engines were hauled to the KRONPRINZ WILHELM HURT. SERIOUS FIRE AT MONTREAL Must Pass Examination Test Be"- fore Appointment is Confirmed.

December 1st Is the Day Set Apart for the Purpose in Ontario. Following the worthy example set in the United? States, where Sun- day, October 27th, was observed as Tuberculosis Day in over 50,000 churches, it is proposed that Sun- day, December 1st, shall be devot- ed to a similar purpose throughout Ontario. The Interâ€"Denomination- al Ministerial Association of Toron- to, representing all the Protestant churches of the city, have already agreed to the proposal, and appeals are now being made to the prelates of the Roman Catholic and Angli- can bodies, and to the leading cler- gymen of the other churches, to have that'day generally observed throughout the provinces It is sug- gested that in the sermons of the day, the clergy should review the work already done in fighting the white plague, outline the possibli- ties of future effort, 'give practical instruction as to home treatment, and issue warnings against the use of numberless fraudulent, worth- less and'positively dangerous so- called “cures” for tuberculosis. Replies already received indicate that the, churches throughout. On: tario will £all into line with the Teronto denominations.

Be-« fore long the entire building of the Cordage Company was in flames, except a small section which in- cluded the offices and! before the fire could be subdued the entire building with that exception was destroyed. The fire also spread to the premises of the Canadian Bag Company, a threestorey building. The firemen were early driven from the building owing to lack of water, ._ the pressure being insufficient to throw a stream higher than the first storey. The firemen then secured better pressure by pumping direct from the canal,‘ and were able to prevent the flames from spreading: across St. Patrick Street to the numerous factories there. Prefom- taine’s lum-berayard, adjoining the Canadian Bag Company’s building, was saved, although several times the flames reached its limits. FLOATING 000K AT HAVEN.
