Germany in return was to uupply Switzerland with 200,000 tons of coal monthly. The financial expert of the Berlin Tageblatt, referring to this financial arrangement, said it was inspired by the fact that Germany’s imports from Switzerland Were so considerable as to outweigh the value of Germany’s coal and iron exports, even at the in- creased prices. The writer said Gerri many also had perfected a similar arrangement with other neutrals,“ notably Holland. nounced the intention of the Ontario Government to develop large areas of the reserved waters of Ontario as a permanent source of fish food supply for the people of the Province. As a beginning of this important national undertaking, lakes like Nipissing and Nepigon will be immediately develop- ed. The resources of these important waters have been ascertained, and while it is not at present possible to state with exactness the quantity of fish obtainable for public use, it is known that the added food supply distinct call would have to be made to all interests to save coal just as food was being saved.

A dcspatch from Edmonton, Alta., says:#Harvesting is well under way in the territory immediately tributary. to Edmonton. Operations here are at their height this week. This means that the last. district in the West to commence harvesting has already be- gun, and that throughout the three’ ,Prairie Provinces the final period of rthe crop season has been entered fully a week earlier than a year ago. Dan" iger from frost is now reduced to a. 'niiiiimum, and the Western wheat crop to be uniformly two-thirds of a mile on a front of two miles and a half, giving the French possession of the Fosses and Beau- mont woods and bringing them to the outskirts of the village of Beaumont. The official report from the War Office, to-night, also records artillery fighting of great violence around Hill 304, on the left bank of the Meuse. The text of the statement reads: “On the right bank of the Meuse our troops this morning strongly at- tacked between the Mormont farm and the Bois le Chaume. Our at- tack was completely successful and and the Bois Beaumont, situated fur- ther to the north, is in our hands. Pushing further forward our troops reached the southern outskirts of the village of Beaumont. “A violent counter-attack. debouch- ing from the Wavrille wood, was caught under the fire of our artillery and repulsed with heavy losses. We took a number of prisoners who have not yet been counted. “On the left bank of the Meuse the artillery fighting was characterized at times by great violence in the region north of Hill 304."
