TELLS HOW- ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT CANADA'S HEROES WERE.The New York Times, which reached here yesterday, contained the fol- fow ng article written by Charles H.Grasty: That portion of the Canadian front from which the point of the ateack on Vimy Ridge appears to have been © projected happens to have been the place which I cho r my visit on Feb.31.I wanted to meet General David Watson, and 1 was glad that tius distinguished officer, whose career has been one of the many rensnces of the war, was holding a ine that touched such historic spots as Carency, orette Ridge, Souchez sugar refiery, and the Labyrinth.I have regretted ever since that visit that T didn\u2019t act on the impres- siens ! formed.If I had, I would have cabled a story to The New York \u2018Times that would have proved an atcurate forecast of the battle of Vimy precisely as pulled off.Canadiens are Americans.They are optimists unashamed.They told me that day, with shining eyes, that the Eritioh and French were going to lig Fritz out.In the face of such faith as they had it was a sin to doub:.I dian\u2019t doubt, but 1 made a show of it.\u201cYou are doing wonderful things here on your side of the lime.But do seu know what the Germans are doing on their side?\u201cWe don\u2019t give - a2 damn,\u201d Lack in clear Americanesehas got to go.\u201d That is what all those miles of munitions meant to the Canadians.Above all, that is what the seventeen.inch guns meant.There were scven- teen lines of defense between the Canadian front and the Douai-Cam- brai line; these were concrete dug- cuts.The only openings were for the guns, and against the old artillery the German dugouts were practically shellproof.The gun openings were the only vulnerable spots in the vast underground network of steei and concrete.Bu: on the whole iront there was something new in the way of artillery.The 17-inch gun fired shells that tarned dugouts upside down and inside out.We stopped on the road to Jcok at one of these in process of erection under some trees about 100 yards from the road.200 \"Those guns are the guns that will d) the trick,\u201d said an officer.\u201cBut they are not much gon.at a distance Tess than eight miles,\u201d he added, by | way of apology.They seem to be in the way of doing the trick.There are four Canadian divisions fu the Vimy neighborknatt.My reenl- lection is that three of them are com- - manded hy Quebec men.General Sir Julian Byng is the corps commander.The Canadians were delighted when they were assigned to what was ex.came \u201cFrits t ! fight on the British front).pected to be, and what has turned out to be, the hottest corner on the whole British front.Major-General David Waison\u2019s Fourth Division occupied the very heart of the hottest spot.This division held the area between the Souchez sugar refizery aad the Labyrinth where the very flower of France had fallen iy order to stem the German tide.This was the right kind of territory for the heroes of Hill 60 at Ypres.There it was that the then Colonel Watson's troops had received their historic baptism of fire, The French line had withered under the first application of poison yas; thie surprise of it had stampeded them The Canadians relieved them and held the line, Not many of these particular Canadians survived to climb) up Vimy Ridge, a mere handful.But the tradition has lived and put the heart of a lon in every raw recruit.General Watson is just euch a soldier as our Western materia! lends itself to making.He smiles broadly when he tells bow little he and the rest of his battalion knew when they yielded to the patriotic impulse to Join the colors in September, 1914.\u201cWe had this advantage,\u201d he said, \u201cthe nothing we knew was as much as anybody else knew.It was a -new game and had to be learned.There was mighty little about soldiering that we had to unlearn, which was to the good.\u201d They put the battalion through all the training that could be had in England for six months, and then shot it straight into the thick of the Ypres show.(That is the word universal for everything in the way of a If of the thousands of great episodes of this war one had to be singled out for heroism, it would be that of Hill ¢o at Ypres.General Watson's headquarters were in a house three miles from the aciual front and within range of gas as weil as guns.He went to the trenches almost daily and mingled with his men.When he raised some question us to the danger of my going under fire, I said that it was mnch more to the point that he should take nc risks.His reply was that he couldn't get along without intimate contact with his soldiers, New Hceadquarters were then being got 1cady a mile nearer the from.But for the fog that hung over the scene that day 1 would have had a pond view of the west slope of Vimy Ridge.1 was in the trenches near Sauchez sugar refinery, the iounda- tiens of which are atill standing.There had heen an incident at the drvision headquarters at Ablair tha: I missed by 4 few minutes, much to my regret.They had brought in a = \u2014\u2014 meme THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF QUALITY JOKE WALKER KILMARNOCK Scotch Whisky

\u2014 BRITISH AT OUTSKIRTS OF LEN3 \u2014 FRENCH VIOLENTLY BOMBARDING ST.QUENTIN SECTOR \u2014 ALSO REPULSED TWO GERMAN ATTACKS-INTENSE FIGHTING IN THE AIR.Tke Germans with very large forces on Sunday attached the British along the Bapaume-Cambrai rond over a front of six miles, and, fighting desperately, succeeded in gaining a strong foothold in the village of Lagnicourt, which lies south-west of Queant, a position of great strategic importance in the German line.Everywhere else along the British front the Germans were repulsed, according to the official report from Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig and their success at Lagnicourt was not for long, as a powerful Britieh counter-attack drove them out Three hun- éred Germans were made prisoner, and 1,500 German dead were counted in front of the British positions.While unofficial reports say Britith patrols entered the town of Lens: tbe night British official communication merely says the British are now spproaching the outskirts of the town, having captured German defenses east of Lievin, Ground was gained Sunday by the British north-west of 81.Quentin, ; The French are violently bombarding the sector of Se.Quentin and are being answered spiritedly by the Germans.The artillery duel continues unabated in Champagne.Two attacks by the Germans on the right bank of the Meuse, in the Verdun sector, were repulsed by the French.Some German infantrymen succeeded in entering a French position ncar the Caurieres wood in this region, but, according to Paris, they either were rilled or made prisoner.What may be indicative of an intention on the part of the Germans troops have penetrated into the town of: Dixmude as far as the German second lines and found them unoccupied.Over the entire Belgian front {or days there have been violent artillery bombardments, and before the advañre on Dixmude the German positions were heavily shelled as a preparation for the manoeuvre of the Belgians.Pighting in the air between German and French and Sritish aviators continues intense.Berlin tells of the loss by \u201cthe French, British and Americans\u201d of seventeen airplanes.Sunday four German sirplanes were brought down by British fliers and cleven others wers driven down.Ten British machines failed to return to their base, The Paris War Office reports that French aviators in the last three days of the past week accounted for 85 German airplanes and s captive balloon.Both the British and French airmen have carried out notaole bombing exnloits on German positions behind the line.The mention of \u201cAmerican\u201d airplanes as having been lost would indicate that the members of the Lavaystte squadron have cartied out their intention to float the American flag from their machines over the battle line in France.; Little fighting of moment is reported from any of the other fronts.The vsual artillery bombardments arc in progress in the Austro-ltalian theatre, despite bad weather.In Macedonia the sector of the Cerna river bend and Lake Presba, hae been the scete of a Teutonic allied attack against Italian positions.The attackers were forced to withdraw under the heavy fusillade.Albanians and Austrians had the worst of skirmishes with Preach troops west of Koritsa.President Wilson has addressed a personal appeal to the American people, calling upon man, woman and child to join together to make the nation & unioh for the preservation of its ideals and for the triumph of STEWART LYON WAS UNDER FIRE CANADIAN PRESS CORRESPONDENT PRAISED POR COURAGE BY OTTAWA OFFICER Ottawa, April 15\u2014 Stewart Lyon, representative of the Canadian Press at the front, whose despaiches recounting the gallant achievements of the Canadian army during the recent : stirring events in Fraice, have stirred the hearts of all at home and chal lenged the admiration of the world in arms.was, it appears, under fire early in his career as war correspondent.An Ottawa officer in high command at the front, writing to a friend in this city under date of March 25th, says: \u201cl met Stewart Lyon over there and had one of my staff officers take him down to the front line, He had two or three close shaves from shells, j hat the staff officer gives him a certificate for courage which will help him à lot in his business.\u201d REY, J.Ha JOWETT FOR WESTMINSTER PASTOR OF FIFTH AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH ANSWERS BRITISH CALL.4 New York, April 15\u2014The Rev.J.Henry Jowett, pastor of the Fiith Avenue Presbyterian Church, announced today that he had accepted a call received some time ago from the Westminster Chapel in London.In declining 2 suggestion made by his parishioners that he divide his time between New York and London, Dr.Jowett said he had decided that would be

German forces along a six-mile front on the Bapaume- Cambrai road, according to the official report from Field Marshal Haig tonight.The British gained further ground in their advance upon both St, Quentin and Lens, The text of the communication reads: \u201cFighting again today north-west of 8t.Quentin, we gained ground east and north of Gricourt and captured some prisoners.We also further | progrersed in the neighborhood of Havrincourt wood, and cast of Lievin, | where oru troops are approaching the outskirts of Lens.\u201cFurther particulars of the enemy attack this morning astride the Bapaume-Cambrai road show that his losses were even heavier than at first reported The attack was pressed with great determination under a heavy fire from our infantry and artillery.In addition to the three han- dred prisoners captured, fiftean hundred dead Germans were left in front of our positions.\u201cOur airplanes carried out successful bombing raids yericrday.Valuable work was performed in co.operation with our artillery.Ssvere fighting occurred in the air throughout the day.Four Gernian airplanes were brought down and eleven others were driven down by our machines, Ten of our airplanes

fulfilling the prophecy of Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain that more ships meant victory for the Entente Allics, was the pirncipal subject before a recent meeting of BR | President Wilson's Cabint.As a 3 J cesule, a bill will be introduced in both Houses of Congress early next 3 ! week, probably Monday, substanti- I'ally increasing the $50,000,000 appropriation now available for the Shipping Board and giving the board authority so that the building of wooden ships and the acquisition of other vessels may be expedited, Legislation also probably will be proposed by the administration giving the Shipping Board power to formally take over the German merchantmen in American ports, which are now in the custody of the Tresury Department.While it is conceded that the President would have the right to take this step it is understood that a specific act of Congress will be preferred.First among the German ships to be put into service will be two of the fleet of 23 lying in Philippine harbors.The insular bureau of the War Department has secured permission from the Treasury Department to hasten repairs on the machinery of the two vessels least damaged by the crews, and it is expected that within two or three weeks the ships will be loading a- nila hemp, to he rushed to the United States to prevent a failure of the supply of binding twine for the farmers of the United States and Canada, While the exact sum to be requested of Congress for the upes of the Shipping Board in building up the American merchant marine has not been disclosed, it has been estimated tha before the campaign of wooden shipbuilding has been completed, it will have cost approximately $225.000,000.After the cabinet meeting.it was said that every possible means of putting additional vessels in the tran: Atlantic trade to convoy supplies to the Entente Allies, and thus render the German submarine cam- * paign ineffective, will be sought out and utilized.Steps are already under way to ascertain the most pressing needs of Russia, France, Fngland and the other Tntente Allies, and every possible ¢ff srt with he made to fill them.While the Allied and American fleets are seeking to actually destroy the German submarines, more ships will be supplied tn take the place of those sunk.Within a few days definite word as to how many vessels now in coastwise and Great Lakes trade can he spared to he sent to Europe will be in the hands of the National Council of Defence.W.J.Connors, of Buffalo, who controls 33 ships on the Great Lakes, was here tnday to tell officers of the vessels available there for ocean service.\u2014 PORTO RICO FRUIT SHIPMENTS.More than 500,000 packages of fruit, chiefly pineapples, will be shipped between now and July 1, according

\u2018The following is a translation from Konsulatberetinger, of Christiania: \u201cIn 1915, as in previous years, many complaints were presented by captains of Norwegian sailing vessels at Swansea, Wales, about wood cargoes from the United States and Canadian ports.The substances of these complaints was that the captains were forced to sign the bills of lading which were presented to them according to the conditions in the contracts, although the tallies effected by the schip's officers in the port of loading showed considerable differences from the tallies of the exporters, \u201cIt is advisable for the Norwegian owners of sailing vessels to consider these circumstances in closing contracts for wood cargoes from these countries.The losses incurred on this account may amount to several hundred polinds sterling in each case, because teh steamer must pay for the difference between the quantity taken aboard according to the bill of lading, and the quantity unloaded even if it is evident that the quantity given in the bill of lading was not placed on board the \u2018steamer\u201d ICEBREAKER AT WORK.Port Arthur, Ont, April 14\u2014The ice-breaker James Whalen after cutting a
