Nagao. of (he. few Brill pr tion of the new: Brifigh ord biting the sending of parce to individual prisoners-of-war i many has been received by thi vernment. The new plan has been srmulated by the new Central Pris- ners-of-War Committee of the Brit- GST: Sei in Eoin John of Jerusalem in England, é British Government has ap- ay Cot it, to take effect December 1st. The Government here has cabled for further information as to the ef- fect that this will have on shipments of Christmas parcels now being pre- pared in Canada. The_ object of the new plan is to eliminate the necessity of the British censorship by preventing the use of food parcels as a means of conveying information to the enemy, also to co- ordinate and control the supplies of food for the prisoners. The order will apply to all British prisoners, naval and military, except officers, parcels ALLIES EXTEND SOMME LINES French Troops Advancing at Verdun Now Dominate Vaux Village. A despatch from London says: The British and French have extended their lines in the sector south and south-west of Transloy. In a surprise attack Haig's troops advanced from their trenches east of Gueudecourt on Thursday night and seized a German trench.: The enemy's counter-assaults failed to dislodge the British from the position. They were completely re- pulsed, says the official reports. At the same time the French clashed with the enemy in hand-to- hand fighting for the possession of houses on the outskirts of Sailly-, Saillisel taken by the Germans earlier, Foch's troops completely cleared these positions and strengthened their grip on the lines outside the town. This move, coupled with that of the British to the west, marks another step in the allied encirclement of the important position of Transloy and the Bethune road south of that point. With clearer weather the combined forces are ex-| pected to deliver their final blow against Transloy and prepare for an advance on an extensive scale against Bapaume from the south-east. reir HERO OF DOUAUMONT SUCCUMBS TO WOUNDS A despatch from Paris says:--Gen. Ancelin, Commander of the brigade which led in the assault on Fort Dou- aumont, in the Verdun region, on Oct- ober 24, has died of wounds. Gen. Nivelle, the Commander at Verdun, in announcing the death to Mme. Ancelin, mentioned the fact that her husband had prepared for the victory and cap-' ture of Douaumont. Gen. Ancelin was a Breton officer, and had served as' first assistant bo three Ministers of in the direction of the army adminis- tration. He was in charge of the re- organization of the French cavalry be- fore the war. erie The Way of Man. Mrs. Wilkins--Did Fussleigh take his misfortune like a man? central com- or an organization authorized by | the et committee will examine and pack all parcels before sending them to the prisoners. While adequate | th supplies of food will be sent by au- thorized organizations out of their own stores to all prisoners, it will still be possible for persons to send parcels to individual ~ prisoners through the authorized organizations, It is provided, however, that such parcels sent to an individual prisoner must not exceed 80 pounds gross per week, and must not contain bread, cake or tinned food, as such articles are difficult to censor without spoiling. This is an outline of the scheme, full particulars of which are being forwarded by mail DRIVEN FURTHER OVER FRONTIER Roumanian Successes Over Teu- tons in Tansylvanian Theatre Continue. A despatch from London says: War, Berteaux, Etienne and Willerand, ! | --Violent fighting continues to mark the Austro-German atbempts to penetrate the plain of Roumania south of Kronstadt and Hermannstadt and toward Bucharest. The stiff defence sof the Roumanians is withstanding the blows of Austro-German artillery and infantry about Predeal.

They also have Sen Mount Siriul and 'Taturmio along the Transylvanian border south-east of Kronstadt.

A despatch from London says: "In some irresponsible quarters," said Lord Rosebery in a speech at Edin- some babble of immediate peace." Lord Rosebery's reference was' pre-: sumably to rumors which were cur- rent in London recently of .a move- | ment in favor of the consideration of proposals which, according to reports |2 emanating from Germany, Chancel- lor von Bethmann-Holweg intended making public in the Reichstag. The German Chancellor's expected statement has been foreshadowed as an appeal to reason and humanity on the ground that prolongation of - the war could not materially alter the military position and would only in- crease useless carnage. In England, according to the rumors to which Lord Rosebery referred, there was a tendency to look only at the present results and forget the primal reasons for which Great Brit- ain went to war, reasons which Lord Grey emphasized in his recent, speech to the foreign press. Lord Rosebery vehemently de- nounced "a sort of 'as you were' peace which would enable the Prussians to remain much as they are, ready and they had gained and with resources not much impaired to begin again at the earliest opportunity their fiendish antagonism against civilians." Fighting for Freedom. "Is it really supposed," he asked, "that we have shed our dearest blood by hundreds of thousands, that we have been paying over £5,000,000 a day and shall continue to do so as long as it is necessary, in order to leave Prussia the devilish power she has been in the past? "Why, I venture to say this (I can- not, of course, speak on behalf of the dominions): If there was a Minis- ter (and thank God there is not) so cowardly, short-sighted and imbecile as to conclude a peace of that kind {2 I am afraid our dominions and our Britons beyond the seas would say that a country, so governed, is not a country to adhere to, and we had better find some better statesmen of our own.' "Look at Sweden, Norway, Den- mark, Holland, Belgium, five small kingdoms, everyone of them outraged by the German power. We are fight- ing for them, for Norway, greatly gutaumbered at this moment by the e of her merchant seamen on the high seas. We are fighting for Sweden, who at any moment may find herself in the same position. We are fighting for every neutral nation. We are fighting for one that is not weak, the United States, for if we were van- quished, which Heaven forbid, the United States would be the next to |ember, guffer from the aggressive and un- scrupulous power of Prussia."
