Petrograd, March 1 5, via London.\u2014The Turks are in retreat on the Caucasian front, pursued by the Russians, the war office announces.Kerm anshah has been captured.The announcement says : \"In the direction of Sakkiz our troops, pressing the retreaing Turks, are approaching toward Banu.In the direction o f Hamadan, after an obstinate battle lasting two days, our troops took possession of the town of Kermanshah.Pursuit of the Turks continues.\u2019\u2019 TURKISH ARMY MAY BE CU T OFF BY THE RUSSIANS at last accounts.The official statement indicates a vigorous Russian offensive on a wider front in Persia than had been previously reported.The capture of Kermanshah, which is about 80 miles southwest of Hamadan, was reported unofficially from London yesterday.The town referred to as Banu probably is Baneh.130 miles northwest of Kermanshah, and only about ten miles from the Turkish border.It is well to the north of the Turkish army defeated by the British in Mesopotamia, which may be cut off if the Russian advance continues.(Canadian Press Despatch.)

London, March 15.\u2014Newspaper correspondents at British Headquarters in Frafice describe the operations of Wednesday as having been carried out ¦with a heavy rain beating In the faces of the British troops, who sometimes were unable to see more than a few yards, though, during occasional brx:f lulls in the storm, the men ploughed doggedly forward through the clinging mud, and their advance was hardly affected.The Germans are now holding a line of about the same strength as they just deserted, and there, according to the correspondents, are taking breath while the British push up and register their guns on the new' targets.The British outposts are now before the immediate defences of Bapaume, i and at some points are only a few hundred yards from them.The correspondents describe at length the positions abandoned by the Germans, and state enthusiastically that the evacuation was not voluntary, but that the Germans were j pounded out by the British guns.From Loupart Ridge, w'h.ich was ! held by Prussian Footguards, it is !said that the defenders ran away, leaving intact the dugouts which the British artillery had snared.Explosive charges and detonators, which had been prepared for wrecking the positions, mere found by the British.The British found villages tiiken much less damaged than the5r had expected.Grevillers, to i great exilent, was not damaged.Many houses I in Miraumont were only slightly in-! jured.i The Germans sacrificed considerable ammunition and supplies in their re-| treat.Some of the dugouts contain-| ed a quantity of champagne and other wines and cigars.I GERMAN RESERVE IN THE P\t*-nT*, Y~ ('TT*- J j The Times\u2019 military correspondent, commenting on the German retreat, says:- \u201cThe enemy evidently wishes to fight on clean ground where we shall have the worst of the deal, and seems to have prepare,! such a position on what is known as the Hindenburg line, which appears to run on our front from near Lens through St.Quentin and toward Ban.Naturally it takes us some time to make fresh dispositions after a German retreat, but, far from incommoding us, this retreat is precisely what we .desire.Assuming that the present German1 movement is not a main operation, the writer discusses other possible intentions.He believed that Von Hindenburg\u2019s great strategic reserve is still in the interior of Germany owing to the severe winter having impeded transport.\u201cTherefore,\u201d he says, \u201cthe Germans may have been compelled to postpone their plans.ENEMY WILL HIT HARD.\u201cWith at least 700,000 more men in the field than he had a year ago, the enemy is capable of hitting hard provided he retains tho necessary physical and moral momentum, and provided the Allies have not placed in the field equivalent reinforcements \u201cIf the German leaders really believe their submarine warfare will have the effect they promise their' people, then the strategic reserve-may he retained in the interior for a counter offensive when the Allies attack ; hut if the hope placed in the submarine war proves extravagant, then an offensive alone can give the Germans a decision.NEXT EFFORT WILL BE IN WEST \u201cEvidence continues to point to the western front as the most probable theatre for the next great German effort.We must also regard Jtaly as an extension of the French front and remain alive to the chances of changes in the Italian theatre.All hypothesis concerning the enemy\u2019s action, however, is subordinate to the initiative wc may assume.On this matter nothing can be said.\u201d PTE.HECTOR LONGHURST REPORTED MIHSING.Word has been rereived by Mrs.E.B.Stuart Patterson that her brother, Ptc.Hector Longhurst, is reported missing.Fte.Bongh: rst is a son of Archdeacon Bonghurst, Granby, and previous to enlisting was wiih the Bank of Montreal at Cookshira- DISS8 OF CONNAIT PASSES AWAY During Residence in Canada She Took Great Interest in Philanthropic Work.Bondon, March ,15.- The Duchess of Connaught, wife of the former Governor-General ofj Canada, died at 8.30 last night.j During the Iasi few days the rela-: fives and friends pf the Duke and Duchess of Gonna gin were aware j that the case of th: Duftiess was hopeless, in the 1 ttcr stages of her iPness, oxygen wr.:- .«quently administered.It is thought that the complicp.tion of broncho-pneumonia would proba jbly have been successfully overcome ! but for the drain on the patient\u2019s strength caused by an operation in London in 1913.As late as yesterday afternoon the Duchess was conscious and able to recognize the mem-here of her family, who were gathered i at Jier bedside.I Since returning to England from Canada h st nui ;\t1 the Duchess tool- part sparing!v h public engagements although B.ith n wo days after she j reached London.Her Royal Highness i made a cal!

London, March 15.\u2014The Associa ted Press has been placed iu possession of a review of the first six weeks of, the German unrestricted qritmiarine campaign.The figures giYrgi are from the Board of Trade reports, and the conclusion are t^iose of hifcjffv j competent authority.\u201cThe German campaign, reported j to have assumed enhanced vigor on February 1st, must lx- sifularly dis- ! sapointing to the Germans themsel-1 ves,\u201d says the review.\u201cAt the he-! ginning of January, 1917, Great Britain possessed approximately! 3,731 vessels of 1,600 tons and over many others of lesser tonnage are not taken into consideration owing to the j importance id restricting the question j to overseas traffic .and cargo.Judg-I ing the results carefully, and looking) to possible future development, from ; February 1st,until March 14th the; losses of British ships of over 1,600 j tons were approximately 78, which, number, deducted from the total,! leaves the British mercantile marinp ! with 3,653 ships of over 1,600 tons ! after six weeks German submarine warfare.\u201cIt should he remembered that a! very large proportion of tonnage is on the stocks building for the British mercantile marine, and a fair percentage of the total is being turned out monthly! In the total above i mentioned no account is taken of \\ ships completed or bought in neutral j countries.NO BRITISH SHIPS HELD IN HARBOURS.\u201cDuring the period from February) 1st to March 10 no British ships have been in any way blockaded in harbors.Every opportunity of carrying out their plans has been at the disposition of the Germans after their declaration of unrestricted submarine warfare.ENEMY WILL NOT HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.It is extremelv improbable that the German authorities will ever have the opportunity gain, for the following reasons : First.\u2014-A large number of old tramp steamers, slow of speed, have been sunk, as they aSurded easy prey.Second.\u2014Their efforts would he directed for the first six weeks or two months towards producing the most considerable results by careful organization and administration, with a view to affecting the morale o! neu- tral nations.A carel'ul study of the German methods has beeu made by the British naval authorities, and untl-submarine measures have been adopted which, as the outcome of experience, have attained, a large measure of success.Third.\u2014The arming of merchant vessels is rapidly taking place, arid it is capable of proof that a submarine takes particular care in attacking armed vessels, a large percentage of which always escape.Fourth.\u2014Anti-submarine devices are being daily perfected, but a little time must necessarily elapse in order that they should receive a proper trial.Fifths\u2014The German naval authorities are bound to flrd some difficulty in replacing the trained personnel of which they have lose a considérable portion.It should be remembered 1 hat there is considerable difference between the efficiency of individual courman ers, ami the greatest losses have br- i inctuacd through the acl ti-'n of a few submarine commanders who by their skill and training, stand far above the average U-Boat officers who leave Germany on mission!: of destruction.LOSS OF BTTTTSH SHIPS REüWJC-ED.The loss s of the British merchan-tile marine arc being steadily reduced.During the past twv weeks only twenty-nine have been sunk, as opposed to forty-eight sunk in the first two weeks.The vessels engaged in the constal trade are continually exposed to German submarines and are naturally included in a German commander\u2019s reports.NEUTRALS SUFFER MOST As regards the general situation of the submarine warfare it may be thus summed up : It is having a more serious effect upon European neutrals than upon belligerent mercantile marine.The continued losses of ships will seriously affect post helium trai e.\u201cThe lossr?of British metcantile vessels in lie first six weeks represent a percentage of 2-3, while the average daily movement of vessels in United Kingdom ports is 710.This figure exempts fishing and local craft.\u201cIf the same rate of destruction were to continue at this average it would take at least a year to reduce the British mercantile marine by one half, without taking into consideration additional tonnage procured from builaing or purchasing.\u201d THE CANADIAN BANK ¦ OF COMMERCE SIR EDMUND WALKER.\t/ C.V.O.LLD., D.C.L, President | H.V.F.JONES, Ass t Gcnl Manai.r .JOHN A1RD, Genen!
