OTTAWA, May 29.—Major-Gen. Meftbhrri, minister of militia, has received from Sir Edward Kemp, minister of overseas forces, a report of the ■work of the Canadian' salvage department, which shows that through the utilising1'of articles1 which * - wobl'd -otherwise have been' classed as waste, this department has saved the Canadian public ?211,055 in tbe period of nine months ending Fob. 28, .1918, : The Canadian salvage, department's duty is to collect and conserve all discarded articles, with a view to their -return to military stores and for disposal' to the best advantage if unserviceable, the proceeds to go to the credit of the Canadian public. In each area there is a local salvage officer with a llmitel personnel of low category men, not otherwise usefully employed, and a salvage yard in each area in which goods are sorted and classified. The supplies are centralized in London because quantities appeal to large buyers, thus securing increased prices. The report states: Make Glycerine "In handling by-products, alt bones and drippings are sold to war offico contractors so that glycerine may be extraoted and utilized for the manufacture of explosives and .It. ls calculated that from Canadian areas atone there has been during the past nine months sufficient glycerine obtained to. furnish the propellant power for approximately 284,230 10-pounder shells. The most minute euro is exercised to secure every vestage of fats,, i?rt-fiial&iHStai'PfPi: -!*» <'W-','S,ll51,*.!W'5e*J: and every particle of value is thus secured, no waste fats from roasting is allowed and the greatest possible amount of dripping is obtained, - ■'The articles handled consist of almost every conceivable commodity found in a military camp, including bones, dripping, trap grease, rags, bandages, meat wrappers, leather cuttings, tailors' clippings, old horse shoes, lead, horsehair, rubber, straw, hoof parings, cork, sacking, rope, tin, barrels, boxes, bottles,1 Jars, crocks, lumber, paper, manure, bakery sweepings, hcrcshldes'l twines, swill, etc. • "A study has, therefore, been made for the beet markets for disposition of all lines, so that best prices can be obtained from competition between buyers. The success of the system is shown by the following figures, which cover the past nine months' operations, as; from June 1, 191T, to Fe*tt. -28, 1916: ■ ■ Detailed Figures "Cash credited to - public fuhds, $162,962,24. : * *: "Value I of equipment returned to ordnance for reissue, $31,855.65.

"Estimated value of Stock on hand, $8,562.8**. "Total, $211,065.10. "This record does not include the' salvage of clothing and other ordnance stores, of which iarEo quantities are reclaimed and handled through the usual military channels, as an ordinary econ'omy, "Tho general success* of the sal-vage department cannot, however, be fully gauged by the monetary Value of Its results, as the systematic education imparted has brought the point of view of all areas to a status entirely superior to past ideas on saving.- Not only have. areas, as such, received a, constant education in this direction, but the individual BOldler has learned to respect the principles of economy by suitable propaganda arid lectures, which have afforded opportunity for a practical demonstration in this regard, Areas showed a marked improvement in cleanliness while the ■ incinerator ceases to-be employed as the method of disposal of material formerly considered of-little or no-monetary value. "The principles guiding the Canadian salvage department are lo help* win tho war by avoiding waste and 'nothing is too small to save.'"

Besides Von Boehm's and Von Billow's nrmles, many divisions of Von Hutier'*) troops "were engaged. These specially trained units had participated in the first rush on March 21 and hud since then been reconstituted. An enormous number of light machine guns were employed by the Germans, as well as a large fleet of tanks and much heavy and light artillery--,: while the German aviators were extremely active. Many Tanks in Action, From the plain toward Juvincourt numerous tanks came into action. For a considerable time tho thin allied lino held out, but as the enemy debouched wave after wave, the French and Brit-. Ish almost submerged, fell back slowly, getting across the river. Several British officers under a terrific fire lost their lives in destroying thc bridges. Overpowering enemy forces mado their way to the top of the Chemin- des-Dames ridge and also to the western end of this road, in the north off Mahnuison and the troops holding these positions were obliged to recede. Tlie allied movement to the rear was executed with the greatest precision. There was no disorder nnd all the units were kept In. constant llnson. Holding Out to Last. Further east, other British divisions, amalgamated with French colonial troops, held fast and- are still firmly sticking to their positions, although thoy have been compelled to. rearrange part of their' front alignment with their retiring comrades. Tn the direction of Soissons, a readjustment, of the front line also became necessary, in eonscquenco of the falling bafc-k of the centre, where the Germans were pushing hardest. The. fight has. been continued for two days through a country composed of a series of chalky plateaux, with winding valleys, whoso slopes aro half cloth'cd with trees and connecting many caverns. Along the top of one of thc principal ridges runs the former Cliemin-dcs-Dames, from which valleys spread toward the Aisne. The allied possession of these ridges compromised the security of the German southern flank. The enemy's, torrent of divisions rolling forward found only the thin nest Hue of allied troops facing the advance.' Theso fell back before the irresistible pressure, retiring, but struggling valiantly. The torrent as it moved forward became even stronger, for the Germans added new forces lo it. Even tlie Aisne did not stay its rush. Allies Did Not Sacrifice. The Germans followed the allies across the river and at the same time spread along the sides, the allies having realized tliat it was useless sacrifice men to hold the positions with too few defenders. The southern slopes of the Aisne valley offered good ground tn the allies to stand, had they been in sufficient force. But tlie Germans wore in Immensely superior numbers and the allied commanders chose to retire to the plateau beyond and thus give an opportunity for the reserves to concentrate. It is probable before tlie advancing German torrent weakens that further territory will fall into the hands of the enemy. That, however, In the opinion of the French officers, will not affect the strength of the nllled forces, which retain their striking power for tiie future. The French and British kept In closest touch throughout the battle, working together in a single unit. The spirit or .comradeship was touching. Both 'In tlie thanks and along the roads, wounded men of both nations, when able to walk, woro helping each othor toward the dressing stations, while all the soldiers indiscriminately gave aid when possible, to the civilian refuge os. The. reserves are moving up, proceeding toward points whore .they can oppose tho Gorman rush. Among the allied troops of whatever nationality, in spito of their lost positions, confidence is great that tho desperate attempts of tho Germans will not succeed in Inflicting more than a glancing blow on the allied forces nnd. that the present situation Is only temporary.

THURSDAY, MAY SO, 1918 A COAL FAMINE CAN BE AVERTED. Heed should be given to the statement by W. M. Nell, secrotory of the Canadian railway war board, that western coal mines are' not receiving ' chough orders at the present time to take care of their output. Earning has been Issued by the responsible' authorities that for somo time after Sept. 1 next very littles coal will be moved. Labor will bo Bcarcer oh account of tho demand for harvesting purposes and every available rall- -tt'ay car will be needed to movo the grain to the Atlantic coast and the elevators. "Whether western Canada experiences a coal famtno next winter or not will depend to a very large extent upon the amount -of foresight which is displayed by the people during the coming summer. If thoy lay ln an ample supply of coal while it can he moved and transported lt ls unlikely tliat thero will be any serious short- ago. If nearly everyone waits until cold weather arrives to order his coal a lot of people aro going to go colli oi- be compelled to operate a bucksaw ln the. woods next November, December, January and February. "Storage-presents some difficulty in some cases, but it is a difficulty which ^an be overcome without much trouble or expense. Plumbers' In Germany get 11.13 a day of 11 hours. It ls only by organization and German efficiency that such wage's can be procured, says "On the Side" ln Toronto News. The Americans have done splendidly in their first important battle. And their achievements in this case arc but tho forerunner of the final victories over Germany in which they are destined to play a big part. "German discipline" Is to be applied to Austrian Bailors who'have shown a tendency to mutiny lately. There is one thing the German sailors cannot toach tho Austrians. That is the wisdom of keeplng'Touton worships safely In port There is no reason for anything but crnfidence In the -result of the present battlo.

Japan decided upon offensivo military operations in support of the allied cause could It not render-moro effective aid ln Mesopotamia'than by entering Siberia? Occupation of Vladivostok would protect that area and it would be necessary to hold only one or two strategic points in order to safeguard Manchuria against German schemes. But, as an old country paper points out,' cooperation on the right wing of the British advance in Mesopotamia, and, by blocking the' Turkish advance in Caucasia, would give Germany something nearer home to think about than these" schemes in remote Siberia. With a substantial army Japan could accomplish much for tho allied cause in Mesopotamia. Destruction of Turkey's power would go a long way toward solving tho Balkan problem for the allies and removing tho. MltteUEuropa menace. AN APPEAL TO SUPPORT BOARDS OF TRADE. The president of tho Belleville hoard of trade has addressed ^an open letter to the. citizens of that placo urging that stronger support he given to the Institution. His letter emphasizes the value of boards of trade and therefore applies to every place where such an organization has been established. The letter reads:. "What is a board of trado? To my niind.it is a, body formed of moil In Trade to study tho conditions of trado Ip. all Its branches, to promote all kinds --pf trade, to stimulate business, lo better conditions of trade; in fact, thoro ls no end to the good it toay do.

CORRESPONDENT. Grand Forks, May 28. WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING Tribute to Canada, Canada has done wonderfully we'l thus far with its war finance, and there is evory reason to expect that she will keep this paco to tho end. Canada is enormously rich in undeveloped resources and her promises to pay are among the best securities in the world. As a matter of fact, thero is practically no difference between Canada and the United States so far as 'financial responsibility is concerned. After the war there Is bound to be a rapid development of Canada's 10- sources with great increase ln the visible wealth.—Buffalo Express. COLD STORAGE John H. Mo'sler, attorney and oil man of Muskogee, Okla., was ln Kansas City recently with a new Indian story. An Indian soldier, home on a furlough, was walking down the main street at Muskogee when a wh.te man who knew him stopped him and said; "Well, John, I see you havo become soldier." "Yes, me soldier," replied the Indian. "How do you like being a soldier, John?" "No llke-um." "What's the matter?" "Too much salute—not enough shoot." 'Of courso you know what you are fighting for, John?" 'Yes, me know," answored tho Indian, "Well, what are you fighting for, John?" , ....... 7.

Wo aro living in'days when successive crises fall to* shock our Imagination, Just as tho frequent recital of horrors makes callous out* feelings, Nevertheless the moment is full of slif nlfleant events; The pronouncement of the premier of Great Britain and the President of the United States havo been published so nearly together as to emphasize the essential solidarity of the two English speaking nations and tn hearten thoir peoples with the assurance that the two governments know what course they aro steering, [ The war has readied the crucial stage ■ when the actual fighting ls subordinated to political considerations, bo- causo the apparent absence of a decision on the battlefield Is Joined to the hardships that winter brings upon tho warring peoples. The men at the front—our gallant defenders in the trenches—do not doubt the issue, we do not doubt them, but they aro asking If the people at homo will see it through, If they will hold firm to tho end. Signs multiply that the nations of Europe are weary of fighting, they count their losses and ask anxiously Wow long?" Lack, of food and fuel begins to sap the ardor of the onslaught. This is the moment when tho quitter falters and the sticker stays; ln conventional language the morale of some of the belligerents appears" to bo weakening. Shall rightfulness triumph over a blood-stained world; shall the outlaw bo conciliated with fresh scraps of paper? Franco lifts a mournful face ln which firm resolve gleams undismayed; Britain smiles with the set teeth of a bulldog; America raises her hand and shouts' "We come." If there Is to bo any quitting 11 will not be among these. Our leaders have stated our aims—enough of that—it ls hits tliat count henceforth. Peace talk, with Its poison gas of bolshevlkl anarchy, must await,tho only conclusion that will restoro civilization, Germany has seceded from civilization. The world cannot remain half slave and half free. Either this cankor of military ruthlcnsncss must bo cut out or wo relapse to a scientific barbarism: Are wo to bo cogs In an Infernal ma-< chine or citizens eaoh ih his own democracy, free to live and let live? It to one or the other. Tho Prussian has not changed the spirit of his paranoiac dream,' the Pan-Gernfan still - hopes to make good his will to conquer* A few days ago Gen. von ,Lleb^ ln a speech before the Gorman conservative congress said; "We must recqtfnlzo only one principle,' namely, that might is right, and must Know neither:sentiment, nor'consideration of humanity, nor compassion. We must havo Belgium and northern France. The curse of God ls upon' tho French. France •must be bled white. We must have a strong peace." There spoakB the voice of the beast with tho brains of an engineer, undaunted by the world's repro bation,-unfeeling for the butchery he has -provoked. In every great war these* comes a moment when the Issue seems either doubtful or unsettled; tnht is the moment when moral courage gives a new edge to physical brav- ory. Such a time came after three years of the civil war; such a time came in thc Napoleonic struggle after the battle of Friedland, when the allies signed the treaty of Tilsit and legalized Napoleon's conquests, thereby committing Europe to eight more years of warfare. At Friedland tho Russian army was so badly beaten that the czar and the king of Prussia capitulated. But England continued to fight Napoleon In Spain and on the sea and by her tenacity of purpose eventually allied tho allies to final victory at Waterloo, France, England, the United States and their allies, moan to fight to a sure decision, although it is lllcely to be brought about not by any single battle but by a steady hammering of the enemy. . We are fighting for peace, for a peaco that will endure, not a, patched-up truce enabling the enemy to reorganize himself for another spring at the throat of civilization.' A treaty with an outlaw is a scrap of paper.-1 Our aim is to create a league of nations committed to the preservation of international order. Shall wo over havo a leaguo more effective than the one now existing iimong tho allies? If this league cannot bring tlie breaker of tho peaco to his knees then-no imaginable combination of tho future can do so. Now'is the chanco to prove to thc world that predatory militarism Is a punishable crime, that It la incompatible with social progress and that a majority of civilized nations is ready to check it with all tho resources of outraged humanity.—Mining and Scientific Review.
