A despatoh from Ottawzl says: Customs officers at all ports of en- try in Canada, have been notified by the department to exercise greater vigilance toward the excluâ€" sion of German-publications. 'llhe entry of these publications has been prohibited under the proclamations relative to trading with the enemy, but some are finding their way in by mail and express. Special referâ€" ence is made to a. book entitled “Fur Vaterland Und Ehre” or “For Fathenlzmd and Honor,” which is said to have been distri- buted extensively through Ontario by a. St. Louis publishing firm. Over this 200-mi1e line the enemy has probably 35 corps, of which 15 are Germ, which are operating here in a. frontal attack.
