.terrain effected by the devastation wrought by the Germans in their retreat, both the British and French armies in France have made further notable gains.Fourteen additional villages have been entered by the British forces from Arras southward to Ham and they have passed the general line of Canisy, Estrce-En-Chaussee, Nurlu, Velu and Se Leger.The forward march beyond Estree-En-Chauseee, places the British troops within 18 miles of St.Quentin, On theli part of the line, however, the French have thrown their cav- slry to within four and a half miles of St.Quentin and also have re-occu- pied considerable teritory between the Somme and the Aisne.Paris reports that the losses of the French troops in their pursuit of the Germans have been insignificant, Berlin in its official communication says that in the retreat of the Germans they have rendered the field selected for the coming engagement with the Entente forces useless from a military standpoint, having render- té everything unserviceable which could have been of advantage for their operations.A high German military authority told The Associated Press that the manoeuvre of the Germans had ended the plans of the Entente for their spring offensive and that from strong new positions the Germans will give battle to the British and French as they come across the devastated battlefield.From none of the other fronts has there come a repore chronicling particularly sanguinary engagements.\u2018There has besh an increase in the outpost skirmishes in Russia.In Macedonia and north of Monastir the French War

Somme and the Aisne.The French have occupied Tergnier, an important railroad junction on the line between Almens and Riwims and have crossed the St.Quentin canal, French aviators report the destruction by the Germans of the historic ruins of Coucy-Le-Chateau, one of the mast striking menuments of the feudal-ages la Europe, built sariy in the 10h century.The French War Office offically announces that in evacuating Noyon the Germans carried away by force fifty young girls ranging in age from fifteen to twenty-five years, The text of the statement resds: \u201cFrom the Somme to the Aisne our troops, while making new progress occupied the reconquered zone.\u201cNorth of the Somme our cavalry pushed forward as far as the out- shirts of Koupy, about seven kilometres from St.Quentin, where they gave chase to German cavalry patrols.\u201cNorth-east of Chauny our infantry occupied Tergnier today and crossed the canal of St.Quentin, Several lively skirmishes with enemy detachments snded to our advantage, \u201cIn the course of this pursuit entending over several days we havi} suffered quite insignificant losses on' the entire front.Everywhere in our advance we have

SIDELIGHTS FROM GERMANY.Praises From the Ensmy is an Insult.(London Chronicle) An article appears in the \u201cDeuce sche Tageszeilwng,\u201d attacking the German Press for complacently reproducing, and the German people for complacently reading enemy tri butes to German courage, that, too, in the third year of the world-war against the German j'en and German existence, In the first place, says the writer, there is something incredibly stupid in this behaviour, and, secondly, there is something in it which ought to bring a blush ob shame to a German cheek.: Who can doubt, says the

appear pitiable.The recent wellmeant hon- outing of an English airman with (he wreath of a German was interpreted in England, not as chivalry, but as offensive intrusion, One should at least refrain

oll the court scandals or the constantly accumulating evidence by which seems to be clearly established the weak character and incroëi- ble lack of foresight of Nicholas nd and his t ignorance of conditions which spelled his Inevitable downfall.Most surprising of all was the Emperor's stubborn refusal to be guided by the counsel of members of his own family, and his quiet assumption that ail was well with the country at a time when the whole nation was on the brink of active revolution.Grand Duke Nicholas Michaclovitch made most persistent efforts to apprise Emperor Nicholas that the country was in danger and the throne tottering, but the Empercr showed no more signs of being stirred by this warning than by that of the Dowager Empress and a multi tude of other personages who approached him.Late in November Grand Duke Nicholas Michaelovitch took to the palace a letter which he had written and read it aloud to the Emperor and Empress, It expressed in most blunt fashion the danger the country was in and showed how only by the promptest action the Emperor could save the Empire from complete cul- lapse.The Grand \u2018Duke took no pains to conceal the Rasputin scandal, but when the name of the Empress was mentioned the latter snached the letter from Nicholas Michaelovitch's hands and tore it up.When the Emperor received ia silence the statement that Protopopoff (Minister of the Interior) had been foisted upon him by Rasputin, and listened to the other accusations without denying or showing signs of being the least confused by them, the Grand Duke lost all patience and shouted at His Majesty: \u2014 Do none of these things move yon?You maxe me think of Alexander 1.An appeal to the Emperor signed by seventeen Grand Dukes made no greater impression, and Viadimir Purishkevich, vice-president of the Union of True Russians and a pro.eminent member of the Duma, paid a fruitless visit to the palace on the same mission.All spoke freely te Nicholas of the growing danger to the dynasty and the neccssity of his Emperor replied: ( * \u2018 \u201cWhat has Alexsndr3 to do with polities?1- refuse to believe that she is unpoulsr among the people\u201d journal

à largely attended meeting of employees of the Ross Rifle Factory, held in the Recorder's Court room, City Hall, last evening, a resolution vas unanimously adopted asking the Federal Government to issue orders Tor the immediate resumption of work the Ross Rifle Factory.The Resolution, The resolution which was moved by» Mr.Gardner, and seconded by Mr.Charest, is as follows: \u201c \u201cThe employees of the Rass Rifle Company regret that the Federal Government have caused the factory to be closed and thus thrown out of Employment, without notica, nearly three thousand workers, \u201cRealizing that this is z serious position for the employees, their dependants and families and for the trade of Quebec, this meeting hereby tesolves to ask the Government to Issue orders for the immediate resumption of work contiquing to manufatcure the present rifle until the necessary changes can be made for manufacturing the new model Lee Enfield Rifle.\u201cThis meeting further requests the Mayor to call a general meeting of fitizens in support of the above appeal to the Covernmen:.\u201cCopies of this resolution to be forwarded to the Acting Premier of the Dominion Government; the Min- Pter of Militia; to the Honorable Mr.Albert Sevigny, Minister of the Interior, and others, if found necessary \u2014 The meeting.which was non-polf- tical, was called to order by Mr.Robt.Brodie, who vacated the president's chair on the arrival of Mayor Lavigueur, who was detained by a previous engagement.His Worship addressing the meeting reviewed the messages and tele- s exchanged between himseli ir Charles Ross, Hon.Albert Seviguy, the representative of Quebec Dis trict in the Borden government, and Mr.J.G.Scott, president of the Quebec Board of Trade.The Mayor said that he felt confident that the Hon.Mr.Sevigny would exert every effort in having the Government re-open the factory.The Mayor said that in a message from Hon.Mr.Sevigny yesterday, the Minister of Inland Revenue, stated that the Government had cancelled the order for serious reasons.The Minister in his message gave assurance that the Government would pro- eure work for the Ross Rifle employes.: During the course of the meeting, Mr.Walsh, president of tlic Central Labor Union, and ex-Ross Rifle em- loyee, was interrupted in his speech à woman in the audience, who told him to \u201cshut up.\u201d This remark aroused the big body of men some of whom cried: \u201cOut with the women.\u201d Others shouted: SWe don't want any suffragettes here.\u201d ete .Order was soon restored and the meeting terminated withou: any fur ther scene.Mr.Walsh touched sarcastically on the patriotivm of the women employees at the Ross Rifle Factory, who, he raid, were respons.thle for.the smaller wages the men were now receiving.In proposing the resolution, Mr.R, Gardner, dwelt at considerable length on the seriousness of the closure of the Ross Rifle.He said \u2018hat when it is considered that the weekly pay roll of this company exceeded $20,000 the loss to the citizens generally was omething that would have to be Aeckoned with.He touched in a very clear manner on what the present state of affars meant to the employees who were depending on their sal aries from week to week te provide a means of subsistance.The mover of the resolution attributed the reduction in salaries referred to by a previous speaker, to the fact that the cost of raw material used in the manuufacture of rifles, had greatly increased since the war broke out.In his opinion this was the only alternative for the Ross Rifle Company, to teduce the pay roll.He did not hes.ftate to state that the Ross Rifle Comny had treated its employees well i the past.* Before concluding, Mr.Gardner DE A SW IN ATTIRED Pa CANE MORE SENSATIONAL ATTACK ON CNA SIR ADAM BECK ROUNDLY DE NOUNCED MACKENZIE AND MANN INTERESTS.Toronto, Mar.20.\u2014Sir Adam Beck, chairman of the Hydro-Electric Com mission, in the legislature this afternoon, made a sensational attack on the MacKenzie and Mana and other interests.He said: \u201cThere is a blight upon the public men and public life of this country which we must remove.Sir William MacKenzie and his associates are responsible.I say it absolutely.1 have been threatened with libel.I : seek no protection from this House.1 am prepared to face these men in the courts and on the platform, to discredit the men who should be discredited even at the sacrifice of my public life.\u201d Sir Donald Mann had stated that the Canadian Northern would remove their offices to Montreal if they were not dest with fairly.\u201cI do not know how many people would be sorry if Sir William MacKenzie and Sir Donald Mann removed their offices to Mexico.We have paid dearly for the exploits of these men in Canada.The province and the broad Dominion of Canada have been bled white.They have placed a debt on every man, woman and child in Canada of $26 per head.We do not care whither they go if they only come not hither after they have gone.\u201d Sir Adam charged that the Electric Development Company, of which Sir William MacKenzie is president, was entitled by the agreement to generate 125.000 horsepower, but during the last few months had been stealing sufficient water power to bring the amount generated up to 149,750 horse power, GERMS STILL CLAM STRATEGY FORMER MILITARY CRITIC IN BERLIN ENDEAVORS TO EXPLAIN RETIREMENT.Amsterdam, Mar.38, vis London.\u2014A Berlin despatch received here guotes Major Morhat, former military critic of the Berliner Tageblatt, 23 saying in an article written for the Lokal Anzeiger: \u201cOur leaders have tried to create an entirely new situation and spare the terrible bloodshed which an as ssult on our enemies\u2019 positions must have involved.Our retreat from the old positions from the Ancre and Somme fronts has nullified the prn- jected great Anglo-Freneh spring offensive against our centre on the western front.\u201cLong strips of territory, having a width of from ten to twelve kilometres and running along the whole of our positions have been turned into dead ground.No village or farm remains standing on this glacis.No road is passable, and no bridge, railway line or embankment remains.Before our new positions rans, like « gimantle ribbon, an empire of death.\u201d I re urged co-operation among the employees, which he said was necessary to secure results.The resolution was seconded by Mr.Charest.Mr.Brodie, who called the meeting to order, lauded Sir Charles Ross, who-he sald, was much grieved at so many men being thrown owt of employment.Attempts to introduce politics inte the meeting by inviting certain speakers to address the asemblag: were frustrated by Mr.Brodie, who made it distinctly understood that the meeting was non-political.After reading the resolution Mayor Lavigueur congratulated the employees on the resolution.He felt confident that the Governmant would do ite duty.A suggestion by Mr.Walsh that a delegation composed of the Mayor, the President of the Board of Trade, and others go to Ottawa, was well received.No decision was reached regarding the visit to Ottawa.A hearty vote, of thanks to the Mayor for use of the City Hall was proposed by Mr.Dredly.FIGHTING AS THE BRITISH PURSUE GERMANS Neighborhood of Croiselles Still Held By Machine Gun Companies.WHOL ESALE HAVOC The German Troops Are Depressed at Extent of Their Retirement, Quebec QUEBEC, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1917, | 5 WELL PLEISED WITH NEW RUSSH GOVERNMENT CO NSTITUTES FLOWER OF NATION; SAYS FORMER U.8.AMBASSADOR Petrograd, March 30, via Londos, March 21.\u2014\"Never since 1 have been in the service of the country has the government been composed, as at present, of men constituting the flower of the nation\u2014the greatest and most distinguished men in every respect.\u201d This is the estimate of the new Russian government as expressed to The Associated Press by Baron Roe sen, the former Russian Ambassador to the United States.One of the From a Staff Correspondent of The Associated Press, British Headquarters in France, March 20, via London.\u2014The pursuit of the Germans by the British troops continues, and at places sharp fighting ensued today.This was particularly true of the neighborhood: of Croisilles (north-east of S.Leger), which is still strongly held by machine gun companies.The armies have been in such close touch at other places that field fighting tactics have been employed, the men firing from skirmish lines.Wherever the British penetrate territory formerly held by the Germans they encountered the same conditions of destruction and devastation as in Bapaume and Peronne.Only a few vilages have escaped, the Germans in these instances having been compelled to leave before their plans to lay waste could be caried out.The use of cavalry by the British and French seems to have taken the Germans by surprise, upseiting some of their calculations.In one village supper, which had been laid out, was abondoned, togteber with much ammunition, and in other places newly opened boxes of high explosives were { found with which the Germans had planned to destroy the villages before leaving.That the wholesale destruction was systematized in à manner characteristic of German thoroughness was shown by captured orders on the subject.These directed the blowing up of all houses, wells and cellars except those occupied by rearguard outposts, the rearguard being held responsible for making their shelters uninhabitable before falling back.Farming implements were all burned or destroyed.Wherever a building was spared, it was first rendered filthy.The orders also directed the assembling of filth in neighborhood of all wells for the purpose of contaminating the water, The destruction of fruit \u2018rees now apparently covers the entire belt of evacuated territory, even those clinging to the walls having been stripped off.In one abandoned yosition a large black cat was found nailed to an upright baard- A cap was on its head and a cigar was in its mouth A British observation party working forward today on horesback had a rather exciting experience.The patrol was attacked with.machine gun fire by three German airpraues, which swooped very low but failed to hit any member of the party.Prisoners recently taken appear entirely bewildered when told of the extent of the German retirement.Thy said they thought it a xreat joke when they first heard of the German retirement; they supposed it was solely for the purpose of getting the British deeper and deeper into the mud of the Somme.But when it came to abandoning positions that had been fortified with months of labor there] was much depression in the ranks.Most of the German gune which formerly boomed along the Somme seem to have been utteriy swallowed up.There is no longer doubt that the main German forces had already installed themselves on the line before Cambrai and St.Quentin, but today fires could be seen beyond this line, as if the retreat had not yet been carried out to the full limit.In the meantime the picture behind the Beh tish lines is one of greatest activity.Movement has given the army

danger, but is gradually improving.In any case, :he effect upon the war can only be extremely favorable, inasmuch as it is sure to inspire the army with new spirit, in the knowledge that they are actually fighting for a free country.The quick success of the movement was due to the fact that the whole country was absolutely unanimous in its condemnation of the interior policy of the old

Canadiens, 0.Tommy Smith replaced Lalonde Por 3 spell but was outslated by Mor tie and the Seattle team continued te show (he same dazzling speed.Vezina saved sensationally from Foyston but succumbed a minute ater when Walker gave Wilson a perfect pass, which Cally slipped into the net.Seattle, 3;

Canadiens, 0.Play continued fast during the remainder of the period, Seattle keeping a man back on the defence and trusting to individual efforts to add to their score.The Canadiens were checked to a standstill and though they had several chances to score, they failed to make good and the period closed.Scattle, 4; Canadiens, 0.Third Period As in the second period Canadiens opened up on the aggressive in a determined effort to score but were soon forced back on the defence by the Seattle outfit who looked super.jor im every way.Time and again Foyston and Morris skated in on Vezina but the goal-tend was in form and he saved sensationally.The Canadien line failed to check back or could not do so and Mummery and Corbeau were practically compelled to handle three-men rushes alone Morris zig-zagged down through centre, faked a shot and passed to Poy» ton who gave Vezina no chance and the Seattle crowd went wild.Time, 9.20.Seattle.5: Canadiens, 0.Canadiens were now doing everything possible to avert a whitewash and they left Vezina unprotected.Mummery and Corbeau joined in the attempts to penetrate the stonewall defence offered by Seattle and Foyston and Morris getting a clear field, worked a two-man combination for Seattle\u2019s sixth goal, Foyston netting his third successive goal Time, 1.30.Seattle.6; Canadiens, 0.With still nine minutes playing time remaining.the Frenchmen work ed hard and Holmes saved twice when Pitre was almost through.Carpenter and Rickey broke up two men rushes of the Canadiens, stealing the puck from Corbeau when he was almost through.Foyston and Morris were treating the fans to some great passing and nearly added another score.Vezina just managing to save.Lalonde was replaced by Tommy Smith with only three minutes to play and to the ex-Quebec player went the honor of scoring the only goal of the challengers, Smith breaking through and slamming the puck past Holmes with only ten seconds playing time remaining, saving his team from a whitewash.Time.$9.00, Final score, Seattle, 6;

call to the 1918 hockey season, but Eddie | Gerard, captain and left wing of the Ottawa \u201cSenators\u201d makes the announcement that he will not be in the game next year if the the war is still in progress.Eddie does not intend to retire, but he says he will not lend himself to further criticism by playing professional hockey so long as the war is on, If the war is over by the season 1918, the crack forward will be back stronger than ever.There has been considerable criticism of the incident of last Friday, i when recruiters approached the line of ticket purchasers for the Ottawa Canadien match, on Sparks street, with a view to landing men.We are not well enough versed in recruiting to offer an opinion, but :ne of the most successful recruiting officers in this district states it was poor business accosting the hockey line last week, and did considerable harm to recruiting.Lieut.fCol Dick Greer of the Sportsman's Battalion, of Toronto, started here a year ago the most successful recruiting was accomplished by meeting a prospective candidate on equal terms and appealing to his finer instinct oi duty and patriotism.But under no cireom- stances baw! him out on tic street.Hockey is being conducted in every city in Canada ta its limic without the criticism it is receiving in Ottaws.The same goes for soccer, rugby ané horse racing in England.RICKEY SWITCHERS TO

seem to indicate that the Aberdeens have hopes of taking a try at the trophy this week But the Ottawas have another \u201chope\u201d coming to them.a a 8 Because George Kennedy expressed the opinion that the Seattle team would probably beat Canadiens at the aix-men style, some wise ones begis to smile and suggest that the Canadien leader was \u201cpulling\u201d his tea and getting ready an alibi.But Kennedy was only showing his hockey knowledge after witnessing the first game.Anyone knows that the six-men game is the real \u201cepeed test\u201d.Players on both teams cannot do any loafing and Kennedy with only seven men to call upon and a raw recruit, Couture, knew that against the speedy Seattle outfit, the Canadiens would have a desperate struggle when the abbreviated style was in vogue.A striking incident which shows the difference of teams when playing six or seven-man hockey is illustrated in the fact that the St Patricks team of Toronto, which finished low in the league standing at seven-men hockey, defested the Riversides of Toronto in a City chamg- ionship series, taking both games\u2014 because the teams were playing the six-men game.À slow team has a chance when there are seven a side, but in the six-men game the \u201csnails\u201d have to take a back seat, In a letter here, Emmet McDonald, manager of the Sons of Ireland states that Pittsburg has 8 very fast team and on an ice surface which is twice the size of the Quebec Arena, the Sons were at ses, though they were beaten fairly.Emmet says 4.200 people were skating at the Gardens the afternoon before the game.Evidntly the Pittshurgers enjoy the winter sport to the limit.The only draw-back to the rink \u2014 though its size is rather detrimental to good hockey\u2014is the lighting

consented to meet Harry Condon and the bout will be fought in Montreal tonight.Wosder what's the matter with Condon?.* + They say the oniy real champion is Willie Hoppe the Billiard wizard.Hoppe never has any alibis ready before the game.If the room is too cool or too hot, he figures his opponent will experience the same handieap and if the cushions are hard he just adapts himself to circumstances.The rule-makers tried to make the game harder for him by introducing the \u201cthree cushion\u201d method, but Hoppe just went out and beat everybody at this game too, though he objected to it because of the element of luck.He contends the balk line is the only \u201creal biltiards.\u201d His high run is 662.e + » Fddie Watters is a good hockey : player but Manager Baird of the
