Russians Report Killing 75,000 Germans Near the Kin« Blending into a galaxy of warm colours, the evergreens and flowrrs which filled the arena of the McIntyre Community Building on Monday and Tuesday for the annual Horticultural Show, proved that the Northland is equal to any other part of Ontario in its production of perfect flowers and vegetables, while the Household Science Section showed the culinary ability of Timmins and district housewives, as well as the eagerness of the people of the camp t6 take part in all patriotic efforts. Entering the arena, the visitor was confronted with an amazing variety of flowers in all colours and some of the largest and most perfectly formed vegetables ever seen in this district. To the right of the main enâ€" trance was the Hollinger display, with flowers and shrubs from the mine garâ€" dens, and at the left was the display from the Buffaloâ€"Ankerite Mines, Along the entire length of the arena, at both sides, and in both ends, were arranged evergreen trees, as a fittingly rich background for the floral display and at the very eng of the floor was a large pairting of mine shafts and garâ€" dens, painted for the ‘occasion in strikâ€" ingly realistic fashion by Miss Helen B.

A new Iranian government has been formed and had decided to give up resistance to the British and Rus« sian forces that are driving their way into Iran, in view of their superiority and in order to avoid further blood= shed, a buletin from Berlin announced this morning. From London reports say that the the British and Russian diplomats had refused to accept the initial peace proposals of Iran and are continuing to fight. Full British and Russian control of Iran are the only basis of terms on which the Allies are willing to end hostilities. Another London report says that the second largest city in Iran is in Bri«â€" tish hands toâ€"day as British forces continue to drive from the Persian Gulf to the north. Iranian troops are said to have‘ been cleared out of the entire area around Abaden, where important oil installations are. The Russians forces report that they have retaken Gomel from the Huns after a fierce twoâ€"day battle. The Rus« sians also report annihillation of five German Givisions, totalling 75,000 men, in a series of engagements, near Lenin« grad. The Germans counter the Russian statement saying they have ssaughâ€" tered 40,000 Russians and taken. 30,000 prisoners. These prisoners are report= ed to have been captured on cen« tral front where the Germans say that they encircled the main Russian force.
