GENERAL HAIG'S MEN: \u2014 ITALIANS ACTIVE AGAIN.* \u2019 While the cannon are roaring along the greater povtion of the front in Belgium from the region of the North Sea to the French bander, probably preliminary ta infantry attacks by the French and Belgiatn, the British troops in the Mesaines region are giving the Germans no rest.Not satisfied with the capture of the famous Messinss ridge last week , Pield Marshal Haig\u2019s men continue.htre and there to dig further into the territory held by the Germans.Sunday night and Monday again witness- od thrusts by the British south and south-east of Mesemes, in both of which appreciable gaing were made, especially in the neighborhood of La Poterie farm, Early Monday morning in this region a trench system over a front of about a mile wap captured and later tn the day the gain was considerably enlarged, bringing the British front to within a short distance of Warneton, the capture of which would give them domination of the road leading eastward about three miles to the important town of Comines.The day's operations added to the number cf prisoners taken by the British and also gave them seven more German field gyms.Comparative quiet reigns on the front held by the \u2018French, except for artillery duels on various sectore, éspecially in the region of Mont Car.Sunday night the Germans in 2 surprise attack killed the occupants of French trenches and returned to thelf own lines later With prisoners.On the Russian front quistude still prevails.In @acedonia artillery bombardments are still in progréss at various points, fperticularly in the Cerna bend region.What probably may be another intensive attack wy the Italiens has started in the region south-east of Trent, where King Vietor Emmanuel's men have captured several imporiant positions, notably the greater por tion of Monte Ortigara, which rises to a height of 6,984 feet, and the Agnello Pass, from which there ie comparatively heavy ground toward the town of Borgo and the Brenta river.There has been no renewal of the Italian offensive on the Carso plateau, where the objestive df the Italians isgTriest.On the contrary the Austrians several times

Russian government's request for a statemnt of war sims.The reply concurs in Russia's purpose not to dominate other peoples or take from them their national patrimony or forcibly occupy foreign territory.The defense of the existence of countries, the enforcement of respect for international agreements and the \u201cliberating of populations oppressed by alien tyranny\u201d is adhered to in the note.The note says Great Britain joins with Russia in acceptation and approval of the principles laid down by President Wilson in his historic message to Congress.The situation in China continues extremely tense.A mandate of dissolution of parliament has been drawn up by the President, as demanded by the military governor of the province of Anhwei, but Dr.Wu Ting Fang, the acting Premier, has declined to sign it, an action necessary to male it effective.A dissolution of parliament would make impossible a declaration of war against Germany until a new parlisment could be as sembled.The Bulgarian Premier spent Sunday at Homburg Castle conferring with Emperor William and Field Marshal Hindenburg and later departed for Vienna.In an interview he spoke optimistically of Bulgaria's position on both the Macedonia and Rumanian fronts.The crops in Bulgaria and Serbia, he said, promise to be the best in recent years.A British patrol boat in the North Sea hag destroyed two German seaplanes and put these otbers to Might.The pilots of the two destroyed me- chines were made prisoner.ITALIANS BEGIN ANOTHER OFFENSIVE.Rome, via London, June 11\u2014The Italians have begun an offensive in the region south-east of Trent and have captured two imponant points of vantage from the Austrians, according to the official communication issued today.Monte Ortigara, east of Cima Undice, and the Agnello Pass both were taken, in addition to more than 800 prisoners.The statenmnt says: \u201cThroughout the whole of the mountain zone of operations there was more fighting than wsual yesterday.especially between the Adige and Brenta rivers.Last night the enemy was driven back and followed up at the Tonale Pass, in the upper Chiesa valley, on the slope of Ddsso Caslna and in the Posina valley, \u201cOn the Asiago plateau our artillery destroyed the enemy's complex syntem of defenses at several points.our infantry attacking during a violent storm in the direction of Mounts

have done more to atimülate recrultiog in this part of the country than any American military organisation engaged in the work, They came to Bostos to recruit Canadlans and other British subjects, but they worked in close co-operation with the American recruiting officers, and every day since the Canadians first the American recruiting stations bave been crowded with men cager to join the service, The Canadians have already pro- éured close to four hundred men, ail of them of British birth, who have sever been naturalized, and they could have had hundreds of Ameri cans, but American applicants were tarned over to the recruiting offi gars of Uncle Sam.Tt is possible that some of them will be trained by the of the Kilties Regiment, all \u2018of whom have seen service in the tronches.* The Canadians, after three years\u2019 experience, recruit as well as they fight.They brought with them, besides their pipe band of thirty-four pieces, four of the best Scottish dancers in Canada, and from early le the morning until nearly midnight dafcers and pipers have been kept dusy.They have appeared at thes- \u2018tres, on band stands and in the _ streets.and from every crowd they drew at least one or two men for the \u2018battalion, * Boston opened her arms to the Kilties and gave them the time of their lives.Thousands following the pipers parading the streets, and not once have the officers addressed aud- jences of less than 5,000 or 6000 persons.Mayor James M.Curley gave orders on the night the pipers arrived here, following a parade in which 50,000 joined, that they were to be taken care of at the Crawford House nntf a state armory could be prepared for them, and he paid ail the bills, Governor McCall and Adjutant General Swertser provided the * armory at ouce, and the heads of the poliee department: Stephen O'Meara commissioner and Michael H.Crowley.superintendent: waived all rules and gave :he Kilties the right-of-way throngh Boston streets.\u201c They were even given permission by the Metropolitan Park Commis- grand, something tha: has been permitted for years, Orders have come from Ottawa, which may force the Canadians to leave here early next week but if they remain, their pipe hand and a brass band and a company of soldier entertainers who are to be brought from Fredericton.will give concerts nightly in the Hippodome.Whatever money is made will go into the fund to pay for the cost of the recruiting campaign.It is also proposed to have the Kiltie band for a night at the \u201cPop\u201d concerns.and they and the officers have been invited to attend dozens of affairs which have been arranged %y Canadians, Scotch and English societies.© Col.Percy A.Guthrie, commander of the 236th.is amazed at and pipers have reecived in Boston.*T simply have heen swept off my feet.\u201d said the colonel, who was wonnded eight times fighting in France, \u201cby the way Boston has treated us.Governor McCall, Mayor Carley, the newspapers and the

democracy against Prussianism.We will carry the emblem of Massachusetts with us into battle, and T am sure that our Canadian boys, who have lived among you so long that they are as much American as they are Canadian, will give a good account of themselves.\u201d It is believed that when the Kilties feave here they will take at feast six hundred Boston Canadians with \u2018them, and if they remain until the end of the week.the number of re- erults, it is expected, will be close to one thousand.Half Battalion Signed, New York, June 11\u2014Reeruiting of Britons and Canadians here for the

Rev, Dr.W.T.Herridge, Ottawa, an ex-moderator.It re-affirmed the action of the last assembly, and urged that debate and organized propaganda on either side be discontinued until the second assembly after the war, when final action towards consummation of the union could only be taken with the consent and authority of the assembly.An amendment to this was offered by Rev.Dr.Clay, Victoria, B.C., and Judge Farrell.Moosomin, Sask, that before such final consummation should be taken the whole question of organic union with the Meshodist and Congregational churches should once again be referred to the membership of the Presbyterian Church.A second amendment, fathered by Rev.Dr.Dickie, Montreal.and Proi.Jordan, of Queens University, Kingston, asked that the date for Urion be extended to the Assembly of 1923, and that the Union committee, in the meantime.should confine i- self to co-operation with the negotiating churches.= In the discussion which followed the motion to sdopt the Union committee\u2019s report es presented hy Sir Robert Falconer and Dr, Herridge, there was evidence of a desire on\u2019 the part of several speakers.to refrain from stirring up strife, so far ar possible, bu: each side showed a disposition to go the limit in the battle.Out of seventy six presbyteries overtures had been received from twenty three or twenty four,\u2019 these showing a diversity of opinion ; on the question of union.Sir Rob- | rt Palconer pointed this out, and he \u2018 took the ground that the presbyte- vies which had not sent in overtures | should be regarded as in favor of Union.He stated that the vote taken : in the Church Union committee io | self was 22 to 4 for Union.Dr.Herridge argued that the act- | | Jion of the last assembly was binding h on the church, and it was the more binding because it had been in the | nature of a pledge to the Methodists ' and Congregationalists.He referred to the anti-Union organization and said:\u2014*1 should like to point out, \u2018 Mr, Moderator.that at this present | hour there is only one body autho- riezd to represent the Presbyterian Chureh, and that is this General Assembly, representing the whole membership of it.\u201d Rev.Dr.Clay contended that che: question should be lef: over until the war was over, because the feelings of the people were strained and harrowed enough without interjecting the great and vexed question of Church Union.Better wait, he said.until the soldiers returned to help decide what should be the future life and policy of the church.He urged that another vote of the churches be taken as the vote at the last plebc- | scite had been indecisive, and the minority had since increased by 23.-; 000.while the majority had increased by only 600.; Judge Farrell claimed that the ov- | ertures indicated a fecling in the: church that there is peril of disruption.Those who differed from the | General Assembly had taken steps to prevent such disruption.Prof Jordan said the action oi the Assembly in appointing 8 Union committee on which\u2019 those opposed : had no place logically compelled the .minority to organize.Montreal, June 11-\u2014During a discussion tonight on the budget.Me | John Patterson.K.C.Toronto, chairman of the Board of Finance.\u2018 made a plea for missionary work onl patriotic grounds.He said the average giving last vear was $2.50 per communicant, which was only held the revenue which a8 hen could pis- duce.Mr.Paterson said it took $3.000 to kill a man in the present war, but it had been estimated that it cost about $2 to evange\u2026ze 8 man.\u2014 PATENTS HELD BY ENEMIES.Washington, lune 11\u2014The adwmin- {stration \u201ctrading with the enemy\u201d bill was favorably reported to the House today by unaimous vote of the Inter-State and Foreign Comrrtrce 1t means that it would penalize by heavy fine and imprisonment trading with an enemy or enemy ally, provide for the sdminintration of enemy property where necessary und authorize \u2018case of the Presbyterians : Mod:rator;

Courtrai, \u201cthe Battle of the Spurs,\u201d which was fought under ity walls.In that battle, which recorded \u2018the first Important victory wom by infantey § %aca the Battie of Hastings, it was, the red-coated ecatingent of Ypres which, joined with the men from Bruges ang Courtrai, defamed the Æ French under \u2018Count Robert of Ar- tois.Ypres, indeed, like so many et) the towss in this part of Flanders, has seom its sharc of fighting.During the Seventeenth Century, it wes four times captured by the French: but, many years before the present war, it had ceased to be à place of any military importance, and some thirty years ago its old fortifications were dismantled, the ramparts being converted into boulevards and promenades.In quite recent times, Ypres devoted itself chiefiy to the making of Valenciennes lace, aithough it also carried on 8 large trade in butter.It is a city of the plains, the wide, sandy Flemish plains; a city, too, of wide streets and old-world buldiags, past which the little River Yperlee makes its way to the Yser.WINNING THE WAR.The best feature of our smsshing victory at Ypres is the conclusive evidence it affords that it is now beyond the power of the Germans to impede our advance.It would not have been so if in the impact there bad been much of the element of surprise.The advantage of being on the offensive is that it is possible to take advantage of that element.As 2 rule, the evemy never knows where you are going to strike, and you can concentrate your attack on what you thing is his weakest point before he has time to bring up his reserves.But at Ypres, it was not so.The Germans were fully aware of what the British intended doing.They did their very utmost to stem the tide.We overmatched them at every point The extent of our victory is seen in the number of prisoners taken\u20147.000 as far as counted.And the height we have captured relieves us of a menace and a chance for irritation from which more than a year we have been plagued.The descriptions of the engagement concur in producing an impression that mot in the whole history oi war has anything so weird and fearsome ever been beheld.Nothing in human experience has equalled it.and the oaly possible comparisons are with earthquakes and volcanoes.From this we learn, greatly to our satisfaction, that in military science and equipment Great Britain is now as distinetly overmastering in modern warfare on land as at sea.That is something to know, and something of which to be proud.The net result is that the Germans might as well come to the conclusion that they are decisively beaten.and accept the inevitable at once.Thei* submarine devitlry bas failed.The Stockbolm conference is of.The Russian army only wants a little time to be as effective and as reso- tute as when Hindenburg was give ing his chief attention to the eastern front.For the Teutons, the outlook is darker than ever.For the allies, it is brighter than for many a long day.Indeed, it is not too much to say that hope may now reasonably be revived of the final attainment of our desire, and an armistice for negotiation or the end of the war this season.soooouanasasess © PRESS COMMENT.° e VOnsSOOHOOOEGASOO: THE DEMANDS OF WAR AND THE COMMON SENSE OF COURAGE.The logic of events has called upon partyism in Canada to prepare to lay aside its usual weapons in political warfare.Abuse and retaliation and all that sort of thing, in the game o?party against party, is, let us all hope, going to be of little avail, in the rear future, in keeping the constituencies of Canada in the dark as to what the public interest is.The public interest of Canada has to> long been placed at a discount by partyism and the persons! aggrandizement which has its uplift in and through influences.The grestest sufferer from this partyism bas been the Province of Quebec, which has been so blinded by certain politicians born and brought up in that Province that it has for the most part come to think of itself 3s a segregation of territory from the rest of the Domimion, in nearly every public question that is brought up for consideration in par- lisment, And at last the action of Sir Wilirid Laurier in refusing to associate his statesmanship with that of Sir Robert Borden in @ coalition government.to aid in the saving of Canada and the rest of the Empire from the murderous intentions of Hohenzollern | demoniacisme, has brought all Canadiens, irrespeetive of the province in which they live, to thitk of getting back to 8 reasoning platform of common-semse, in line with the foresight of the Fathers of Confederation.Certain of our Can: adian fellow-citicens have failen at the front and others of therm are still bravely fighting at the front.Is Cessda going to betray her ows high salting o9 a nation by saying that it was sil 3s mistake for those who have succeeded on the battlefield to have gone vo the front, or that the serviv- ots are te march to the front with no es will be taken up by Canadians should they happens to be killed or disabled im the omsets ageimst the enemy?Therein lies the initial query that otarcs Canada in the face at this very moment.The Canadian-born who answers that query in the affirmative is far down is the seale of hunianity as it is possible for him to get.In fact every Canadian cannot but be prepared to answer it in the negative, if he be mot of those whe have eliminated the common-sense of courage from the mental or moral make-up.Indeed it is from them the world looks for a meeting of the demands of these war-times that more men have to be instantly enrolled to save the situation for us in Europs The war conditions in Great Britain and Ireland bave sent tous Canadians the message that more men are required.Sir Robert Borden has brought that message home with him from England.Sir Wilfrid Laurier is privy to that message.And, now.so are we all What then?More mes must be enrolled.Who then is it that is to be blamed for forcing Canada to take to Conscription?The party spirit influenced by the party press.would blame this one or that ome.But it is the Common-sense of Courage, after the failure of every effort at Conciliation that discerns who has brought about the necessity for conscription.The blame does not fall upon the poor brave lads who have sacrificed their lives for Canada, nor upon their comrades who are still fighting for us.Upon whom then does it fall?Upon Sir Robert Borden?What, was it he who brought on the war, any more than it was King George?Upon Sir Wilfrid Laurier?Why he objects to Conscription, in common with those who would promote the aggrandisement of their party, outside and beyond all saving of Canada from disgrace.Who then has it been who bas made conscription a necessity?Perhaps the Com- | mission\u2019 in behalf of our National War Service, can answer the question.Perhaps the Province of Ontario can tell ws, or Mr.Thomas Church the Mayor of Toronto, or the New York Times or Mr.Henri Bourassa who has taken to the singing of God Save the King to hide his lack of logic in discussing the pressing demands of war.When Canada is given the chance to answer the query for herself, what a record the answer is going to make in history for our Canadian patriotism.Before that answer comes, it looks as if the partyism that would win elections no matter what happens to Canada will have its wings somewhat clipped, to the opening of the eyes of those who have, through deception influences, failed to give Canada, ns & whole, its proper share of their regard.Yet even then the query will stand in history: Who forced Canada to take up with conscription?J.M.HARPER.Could Not Lift Stick of Wood Would Almost Faint From Severs Pain in Back \u2014 Doctors

TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 1917.BRITAIN OUTLINES AIMS TO RUSSIA HEARTY ACCEPTATION AND _APPROVAL OF PRESIDENT WILSON 18 VOICED.London, June 11\u2014In reply to the Russian Ps request for a statement of the British was sims, Great Britain has forwarded to Pètroad a note in which is expressed ahearty acceptation and approval of the principles which President Witson laid down in his historical message to Congress.The British government believes, broadly speaking, that the agreement made from time to time with Britain's allies are corformable to these standards, The purpose of Great Britain at the | outset, says the note, was to defend\u2019 the existence of the country and ens force respect for international agreements.Since then there has been sdded that of \u201cliberating populations oppressed by alien tyranny.\u201d , The note bespeaks not only the liberation of Poland by Russia but of that section of Poland within the Dominions of the Germanie Empires.Following is the text of the note: \u201cIn the proclamation to the Russian people enclosed with the note it is said that free Russia does not purpose to dominate other peoples or take from them thelr national patrimony, or forcibly occupy foreign tervitory In this sentiment the British government heartily concur.They did not enter the war as a war of conquest; they are not continuing it for euch object.Their purpose at the outset was to defnd the existence of their country and enforce respect for international engagements.To those objects have now been added that of liberating populations oppressed by alien tyranny.\u201cThey heartily rejoice therfore, that free Russias has announced her intention of liberating Poland not only Poland ruled by the old Russian autocracy, but equally that within the dominion of the Germanic Empires.In this enterprise the British democracy wish Ruesis Godspeed.\u201cBeyond everything we mast seek such settlemnt as will secure the happiness and contentment of peoples and take away all legitimate causes of future war, \u201cThe British government heartily join with their Russian allies in their acceptance and approval of the principles laid down by President Wilson in his historic message to the American Congress.These are the aims on which the British peoples are fighting.These are the principles by which their war policy is and will be guidedy \u201cThe British government believe that, broadly speaking, the agreements they have from time to time made ith their allies are conformable to these standards, .THE FRENCH HIGH COMMAND The military çorrespondent of the Lordon Times eays: The announcement made in Paris on May 18 that General Petain succeeds General Nivelle as Commander-in-Chief of the Northern and North-Eastern Armies and that General Foch succeeds General Petain in Paris as Chief of the Generat Staff of the Army, resteres the stability which has been to some extent lacking since the removal of Marshal Joffre and the break up of the old Grand Quartier Generale.These changes were not unexpece- ed.M.Ribots Government were not responsible for the appointment of General Nivelle, and the 10 or more interpellations respecting the Reims offensive which are due to teme before the Chambers, probably In secret session, on and aiter May 8e, promeed to be dificult to deal with unless action was taken to strengthen the higher command before the Chambers met.There will be much sympathy on all sides with General Nivelle He is a good soldier, \u20ac great gentleman, and an edmirable Army Commander.Always well-intentioned, he was a general favorite, but be was much hampered by the stories current of what tary he was about to do, and though he won important successes, they did not come up to promise for which, so far as the writer is aware, he was not primarily responsible.He will, no doubt, accept his appointment with the same admirable calm and gell- possession as have been shown by many other French generals who have found themselves simitarly placed, and by no one more than Marshal Joffre, who has set an example of dignified silence to be commended.General Petain possesses the entire coufidence of the French Armies.He le the greatest leader in council and in action that France has produced during the war.His etats de service, from regimental commander to chief of an Army Group show that he 1s » hard hitter, and has great talent in the field.Cool, determined, far- sichted, he possesses in almirable measure power of action and of th He makes no \u2018pictures in his mind of a fanciful character, but measures the situation as it is, pre- paies to meet it.apd will never sub- prdinate his military judgment to any political influence.If he has sometimes terrified his parliament by boutadée, and by plercng phrases of which no one since de Gallet has been such a past master, a French geuers] may surely be allowed oc- rasiohally to be sarcastic, and # ie pertain that some of his most famous rases have been spoken moce in a ¢ than in earnest.Some foolish npreseions of bis strategy have béen abrosd.The recent Confertn Porie has re-established the pa.and ft hae deen found that tals, Robertson, and Haix are en- = \u2014 \"eo \u2014 tirely in agreement and that there is no difference at sll between our respective points of view.The British commanders and armies and the British people will welcome with enthus- jasm the arrival in the chief command of a leader who has so well merited by his great deeds and strong character, the high distinction which ha.been conferred upon him.Since General de Castelnau could aot be spared from his Command of the Group of Armies of the East, there was only one other French gereral temporarily unemployed, whose absence we regretted, and that was our old friend and trusted comrade Genera! Foch.Foolish rumor ascribed Foch's temporary eclipse to differences with the British.No such differences ever occurred.We were always on the best of terms with him.Like Petain, he understood and highly appreciated our Armies.No French general thas acted with us more often, more closes ly.or in more cordial agreement, but when people decide to do things they often invent reasons for doing them, and we can only reaffirm that our confidence in Foch is complete and that we hive never had a shade or s shadow of difference with him.His views accord with those of the new French Commander-in rooms at 79 and 83 St.Louis strect Apply at 79 St.Louis street.june * x6.mm rere TO RENT\u2014At 118 Maisonneuve, a flat, \u20ac rooms and bathroom, with water gas heater, hardwood floors and all amelioratons.Apply J.A.Chiquette, 111 St.Cyrille; \u2018phone 1751 Jn2x3w TO LET\u2014On the St.Foye Road, within easy reach of the Street cars.à 0 room brick house (\u201cGlenfield\u201d), with spacious grounds in front and in rear, also stable suitable for gar age; chicken house and enclosure; currant and raspberry bushes and some fruit trees; plenty of ground for growing vegetables, etc.For further particulars apply to The Royal Trust Company, 58 St.Paul street, Quebec.apl.19xtf \u2014\u2014 re TO RENT FOR SUMMER.\u2014 À furnished house, eleven rooms, view of the, river, 3 bath rooms, electric light, hot water heated.gas and coal Stoves, special boiler heated uy gas for the baths.Large yard with hangar, stable and gurage if wanted.Handy to the street cars and four minutes from the Terrace.Apply to \u201cTourist\u201d, P.O.Box 33 Station B., Quebec.maylix in.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ee TO LET\u2014The Self-contained cottage, No., 4 Cliff View Place.Containing 3 rooms.Rent $M.per month.Apply te Amos J.Coleton, 288 St.Peter Street, apl.txtf.rt ee TO LET.\u2014A warehouse at No, 615 8t.Valier strect, occupied by \u201cThe Kaufman Rubber Coy.\u201d comprising four storeys, cellar, office, elevato- snd all modern ameliorations, Imwiediate possession.Apply to LaRue, Trudel & Picher.apL7xtf.TO LET\u2014kower flat No.10 Fraser street, 60 feet from: Maple Avenue, 6 rooms and oath, Hours and woodwork in British Columbia fir, furnace, electricity, gus, grate.LL.Fdurroughs, 167 Maple Avenue apl.Tx1m.TO LET\u2014House No.74 St.Ursule Siret, containing eight rooms.For partiewfars, apply to C BE Tapchereau, N 1°, Quebec mar.féxtf.Amar re tr tr eterna oo a OFFICES TO LPT\u2014Fine modern ofices, wel) bented.Large safety vait at No.88 Mountain Hill.Appty to Né Belanger, 29 Notre Dame Jan.$Txvi.thsatxtf FOR SALE OR TO LET.So \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 FOR SALE OR TO LET ~\u2014That nc property knowa as the Verreanl: Boarding House, 89 St Genevieve Avenue, 18 rooms, bot water, furnace and modern convesiences.W.R LaRus, Netary, 99 84.Ase Bt re .apliexd.nw : \u2018 and handymen.\u2019 1P 1 tor, FOR SALE \u2014 Mari Steang !
