(Canadian Press Despatch) -- Polish question in consequence of the | strong stand taken ' by Emperor Charles and the Austro-Hungarian Government, according to infornra- tion received by the correspondent of the Daily Mail at The Hague, to which the Mail gives much promin- ence. It is possible there will be no 'rsonal union of the crowns of Po- ing liguor through any zone where prohibition is enforced either by provineigl statute or municipal by- law, In the case decided, the city of La- chine was the place held to fall un- land and Austria, but the King of Poland is certain to be an Austrian archduke, says the correspondent, who adds that the discussion at the German main headquarters had the following basis: The Germans demanded that Aus- tria send to the western front from ten to fifteen divisions of picked troops, confining themselves to the defensive on the Italian front. Em- peror Charles and his advisors made counter-demands, Germany make further declarations regarding Bel- gium, guaranteeing the evacuation, restoration and an indemnity, make a powerful 'movement in the direc- tion of peace and that the Polish question be solved in a manner/favor- able to Austrian wishes, Advisors of the Austrian Emperor, it is declared, emphasized that the opposition of the Austrian military and public opinion to transfer troops to the western front was universal. This opposition could only be quieted if the Govern- ment was assured of Polish support, which could be obtained by securing from Germany concessions on accoun of Poland, and if the public could be shown that the German Government had been influenced-in the direction of another strong effort to! obtain peace. Short of this Austria would not send troops to the western front. THE KAISER'S PALACE IS TO BE SHELLED From the Air by An Allied Fleet by Next Spring. London, Aug. 17.---~Germany has made concessions to Austria on the FRENCH AND OANADIANS MAKE A NOTABE ADVANCE, P . Roads Leading Out of Roye Are Under Fire of the Allied Guns. (Canadian Press Despatch.) New 'York, Aug. 17.--The Asso- ciated Press this morning issued the following: Roye, the central bastion of the German defense line from Peronne to Noyon, which has 'witnh- stood the Allied thrusts for nearly a 'week, fs menaced seriously by the advancing French, British and. Can- adian troops, and its fall would ap- Pear to be a probability of the next few hours. With the town in Aled hands, the southern end of the Ger- man line at least undoubtedly would have to retire, although the north- ern end through Chaulnes to Per- onne would be affected. The Allies are now but a scant one and ono- quarter miles west of the town, 'while they are pressing eastward in the north and in the south. Along the front of nearly ning.miles north and south of Avre, 'which flows through |Roye, the Allies have push- ed back the enemy in stubborn fighting. The most notable advance was made on a front of three miles in the centre by French and Can- adian troops, who now are fighting on a line through Goyencourt, St. Mard, Les Triot and LaCours.

An Irish Pert, Aug. 17.--The Ger mans, in their extremity to make their raw materials for munitions | 80 as far as possible, have stripped | their torpedoes until they are bare! as skeletons compared to the former | efficient mechanisms. It seems that the idea of the Ger-| mans is to gain the highest possible | explosive power and to eliminate the | delicate and expensive propelling | and steering apparatus.

But it has resulted in a great saving | of copper and brass, and doubtless has facilitated quantity production. Under normal conditions a torpedo should be effective at 2,000 yards or more, but the Germans now seldom fire from more than 500 yards, and when they believe they are compara- safe they approach much near- er than that to their intended victim. At close range the stripped torpedo is practically as effective as the more complete types, butthe fact remains that the Germans hake forced their danger for what the have saved by producing an inferior torpedo, .
