Naval experts are totally unable to explain the destruction of the Bul- wark upon the theory-that the explo: gion was accidental, unless it was caused by deteriorated ammunition. That such could be the cause, how- 1| ever, is considered most unlikely be- cause of the frequent tests made aboard the ship and the fact that the Bulwark’s magazines were protected by the latest designs. The spy and submarine terrors run rampant in London. The contention of the admiralty that the explosion was certainly internal has by no means satisfied the public. Some of the papers criticise the au- thorities for lack of vigilance about government docks. As all London has been wild upon the subject of spies for months it is insisted that German agents would have little trou- ble operating in some of the ship- yards. It is believed that the destruction of the Bulwark may go down in his- Remedy as Bad as the Disease. “On the seventh of February contracted a severe cold followed by a cough and final loss of voice. I tried many remedies none of which did me any good. Ithen went to my family doctor and he swabbed my throat five or six times with some abominable stuff. It think it was beneficial but the remedy was as bad a5 the disease. At last the thought struck me—why not try Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy. I did so and this morning my voice is fairly good and is gradually growing better,” writes H. C. Clay, publisher of The Reporter, Rapid City, Manitoba.

GERMANS ATTEMPTTO MINEALLIES' TRENGHES Paris, Nov. 28.—A daring attempt to mine’alifed trénches in the vicinity of Arras is reported. German sappers had succeeded in carrying a mine trench well up to the British lines, working under cov- er of darkness. Only the discovery of the enemy prevented the blowing up of the Brit- ons with enormous loss of life. Heavy cannonading with intermit- tent infantry attacks continues along the great battle line stretching across Northern France and Belgium. In the Vosges operations are large- ly suspended owing to heavy snows. On the northern ‘end of the line, how- ever, the Germans continue their ac- tivity in so far as the weather will permit. An attempt to blow up a pontoon bridge across the Yser was frustrated by an armored train of the allies. It drove off the Germans, who had all but completed their work. SECRECY SURROUNDS CASE William Waldorf Astor Defendant in Sensational Suit. London, Nov. 28.—William Waldort Astor is defendant in an action before Justice Rowlatta in the high courts brought by Mrs. Alice Alexandria Falcke of Green Cottage, Kineton, ‘Warwickshire, who sought to recover payments in arrears under an alleged agreement entered into between Mr. Astor and herself for the support of her child, of whom Mrs. Falcke claims the expatriated American millionaire is the father. Great secrecy was aimed at. Shortly after the case was called Sir Edward Carson, counselor for Mr. Astor, had a few minutes’ talk with Compton Smith, K. C, who was appearing for Mrs. Falcke, following which it was an- nounced that the case had been set- tled subject to certain-details being worked out. The case was then ad- journed.
