LOSSES DARK Papers Stop Publishing U-Boat Death Noticesâ<Recent Figures Shown to Be Untrue. (By Daily News Leased 'Wire.) COPENHAGEN, July 2.âFor many weeks, obviously in compliance with orders of the censor, German newspapers have published no death notices from the submarine service from which conclusions regarding the number of submarines destroyed might bo drawn. The monthly obituary tribute of the ^Hamburg-American company to its employees who have been lost appear however, with 12 names ascribed to the navy. Nearly all nrc from the mechanical personnel of the company, and It is a fair presumption that they wcro lost in the submarine campaign, |>ccausc trained mechanics are not assigned to the forces in Flanders and surface ships arc little exposed to casualties. Recently the some proportion of casualties from other sources from which the submarine personnel Is drawn, with five submarine losses, are inconsistent with the admiralty assertion that the monthly loss .-in boats is below 10. Among the dead Is Lieut. Brlnkhaeumer, who was decorated with the Iron Cross of the first and second classes, the usual tribute to a submarine commander. PLOT TO DESTROY SHIPPING EXPOSED Huns Planned to Delay Organization > of U. S. Armies and Check Food ' and Munition Supplies (By Daily News Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON, July 2.^Seeret investigation by government agents has disclosed the existence of a great conspiracy to destroy or hinder shipping on the Great Lakes and thereby delay organization of the war armies of the United States and check the flow of food and munitions material fifom the western states to the Atlantic coast. No conspirators have been captured nnd the identity of none has been made public, but It was learned today that the slate, navy and justice departments are cooperating to bring the offenders to punishment and that the Canadian government probably will bo called upon L'o help. This plot, engineered by Germans, assisted by sympathizers, is believed to have been responsible for the succession of "accidents" to lake shipping, especially In the neighborhood of the Soo canal, which began about a month ago, The steamer Kaxonla and Pentc- ctost Mltcncll were sunk at the mouth of the Soo river, with the evident indention of blocking the channel. Then there was the tanking of the steamer Venetian Maid In tho Detroit river with the loss of ono life. Later came an attempt to dynamite the steamer Mackinac, The Cnsga Second was blown up and burned and the Jay Deo and the Niagara had their machinery wreck oil. All of these ships had been or were about to be taken over by the navyy department and the investigations of the department of justice and the navy department have tended to the conclusion that what were believed to havo been accidents were the acts of conspirators seeking lo hamper the government In tho prosecution of the war.

Encounters between patrols ocacslonally have occurred out there but the territory was not effectively occupied by either side. To the west of Lens In the sector north of the Souchez river, where there had been almost continuous artillery duels since Thursday last, varied by Infantry thrusts and counter-thrusts, affairs have quieted down this afternoon.

Later information indicates that In the fierce house to house fighting which has been tho chief feature of the advance they enhanced their already high reputation. The Dominion day sports were most successful. The weather was that of a cloudless July day. There were baseball and football championship games, tugs of war and foot races between teams representing the various divisions.

BRITISH CHEERED BY NEWS OFVICTORIES Town Taken by Russians in Direction of LembergâManeuver Interrupted by Revolution Resumed (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, July 2.âThe resumption of the Russian offensive, with the capture of tho town of Koniuchy and more than 10,000 prisoners Is the most cheerful news the British havo had for some weeks. References In recent German official communications to the activity of the Russians had given hopo that something really serious was about to occur, but the public was hardly prepared for such Immediate and successful results, as It was thought It would take a few days for the artillery to destroy the Austro- German defenses, which were under construction for so many months. The sceno of the Russian success between the Strlpa and SSlota Llpa rivers was the battle ground of much heavy fighting after Gen. Brusiloff's offensive of a year ago, Koniuchy being on the latter river, This, like the other demonstrations, Is in the direction of Lemberg, the capture or which would be of strategic and political significance. Gen. Brusiloff apparently has resumed his concentric maneuver which was Interrupted by the advent of winter and then by the revolution. War Minister Issues Appeal PETROGRAD, July 2.âWar Minister Kerensky has Issued an appeal to the Russian armies to take the offensive. He says that Austria and Germany have replied to Russia's appeal to all democracies In favor of peace by the dishonorable proposal that Russia should conclude a separate peace, which would enable them to crush Russia's westorn allies. On Russia's rejection of the proposal tho enemy, says the war minister, threatened an offensive against Russia, and the freedom of the country and the revolution itself were in danger. The appeal concludes: "Every day's delay strengthens the enemy. That is why we appeal to our armies to take tho offensive. Let all the world know that it was not from weakness that we talked of peace. Let It be known that' liberty increases our military strength. All Russia will bless your exploits in behalf of liberty, your country's future and an honorable anl lasting peace."

For the last four days the war minister has been at the front, spending every effort to urge the troops to advance. He finally rode to the front line trenches, and placing himself at the head of the troops gave the order to advance. The spectacle of the popular war minister on the firing line accomplished what oratory had failed to do, and the Russian line swept forward into the German trenches. (By Associated Press.) Prisoners exceeding 10,000 and the capture of the village of Koniuchy and strongly fortified positions southwest of Brezezany are the first fruits of the new offensive movement of the Russian forces In eastern Galicia, North of Koulchy the Russians have attacked and fresh battles are in progress. Tho Russian artillery, long Inactive from lack of shells, played an important part in the defeat of the Austro- Germans at Koniuchy. For two days a rain of iron was thrown Into the German positions and Berlin says officially that they were turned into a cra- terfield. The Russians not only carried three lines of German trendies and Koniuchy, which was strongly fortified, but also advanced to the Koniuchy stearin south of the village, which is on the Zlota Lipa river. Around Brze- zany the fighting was most bitter and Berlin claims that 16 Russian divisions were thrown forward. The Russians carried the fortified Teuton positions at several points In the face of a desperate resistance by Austrian, German and Turkish troops.

"In the dlrcct.'on nf Xlichof, after two days' artillery preparation, our forces attacked the Austro-German positions on the Koniuchy-Byshkl front.

REASON FOR GERMAN OFFENSIVE EXPLAINED Want Local Suocess Over French Which Can Be Magnified to Offset Heavy Defeats. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, July 2.âVia Renter's Ottawa Agency. â Telegraphing today from French headquarters, Router's correspondent says that tho sudden return of the enemy to the offensive on the Chemin des Dames and on the loft bunk of the Meusc is probably to bo explained by the German government's need of victories, or rather local successes, which can be magnified into victories to offset the substantial gains of the Anglo-French offensives. At the moment when the inspired presa in the fatherland is trying to explain away the latest British successes in Flanders and knowing that more must come, requiring further explanation and also knowing the fact that tho vanguard of the American army Is already on French soilâcomprehension of these things is spreading among the German army and the peopleâthe high command feels that something must be done to counter-balance the effect of all this, In any event there is not yet any Indication that behind the sudden resumption of activity lies any more serious Intention, Both in Lemort Momme and tho Cerny sector, tho enemy, in tho event of success, stands to win important local advantages, notably in tho latter, where ho would regain at least a portion of tlie observatory lino on tho Chcmln des Dames crest, to retain which he fought so hard. By the operations of Sunday and Monday the enemy regained a very insecure footing on the crest about a mile west of the Dragon's Den, from which he was expelled last Monday. Small gains tho enemy hitherto so- cured were obtained by means which either side can omptoy at will and which, of course, result In temporary advantage to the side which secures them. Tt is a case of heavy concentration of artillery against a narrow front, followed by an Infantry attack. Tho value of such acquisitions lies in tho power to retain them solely, and tho enemy has not yet been shown to possess this power. HltherLV) it has been able only to annex narrow belts ot front without depth, If It is counting in the slightest degree on tho decline of tho fighting spirit in tho French army to exploit these gains. It Is counting without its h°»t, , PAGE TWO THE DAILY NEWS TUESDAY, JULY 3, 1917. 1 I Leading Hotels of the West I 'Vhere the Traveling Publio May Obtain Superior Accommodation.

The fighting was especially bitter on both sides of Brzezany. "Sixteen Russian divisions, constantly employing fresh troops, assaulted our positions, but they were completely maintained or recaptured by counter-attacks by Saxon, Rhine- land and Ottoman divisions. The Russian losses surpassed nny measure hitherto known. Some units have been entirely dispersed. "Along the Stokhod and on the Dniester the lively artillery activity of the Russians continues.

At a few points they penetrated our linos, but were repulsed everywhere by our Sllesian regiments in hand to hand engagements In which over 175 prisoners and 17 machine guns were captured by us, "Army group of tho German crown prince: After strong artillery preparation, the French delivered fresh attacks on the Chemin des Dames against the trenches they had lost south or Bovelle farm. All tho assaults of the enemy were defeated in engagements, which were especially bitter on the eastern slope of the plateau.'1 German Success Worthless FRENCH FRONT IN FRANCE, Sunday, July 1.âTlie Germans succeeded in occupying today French front line trenches a third of a mile in length to tho east ot Cerny, north of the Chemin des Dames. This local success, worthless from a military viewpoint, followed a terrific pile- driving artillery bombardment, at the beginning of which the French abandoned the line, the trenches of which were flattened out. This forward step leaves the Germans still without their coveted observation posts. Apparently there was little backbone In the attack, as the success was not followed up. The same lack of push has characterized all the German attacks recently along the line stretching from the eastward of Solssons to Verdun. Evidently the enemy, after his recent defeat in the Champagne, feels the need of local successes in order to encourage the men, who, according to prisoners, are greatly depressed. It is comparatively easy for them to concentrate many heavy guns at any given point and thus drive the French out of small sectors. Hitherto, however, whenever the Germans attacked with their specially selected troops, they did not penetrate to any depth, all their attempts to do so meeting with energetic resistance and usually being followed by French counter-attacks, costing the German occupants of the demolished positions great losses.

LONDON, July 2âSpain appears to be in the throes of a revolution. In well-informed quarters here it is believed that the fall of the Spanish monarchy and the rise of a republic in its stead, is only a matter of daysr perhaps hours. This view is justified by the latest development in Spanish politics, the leading parties in the nation having formed a republic bloc. The radicals and the Socialists decided to issue a revolutionary and anti-monarchistio manifesto, after having constituted themselves into a "bloc." In addition to these parties, the monarchist reformist party of Senor Alvarez, one of the most powerful of Spanish leaders, changed its traditional position and came out in favor of a republic. So strong is the republican tide in Spain that King Alfonso's abdication is speculation of a distinct probability. CHINESE FACTION WOULD REPLACE MANCHUS ON THRONE (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

EDUCATION POLICY IN FIJI IS ON BOLD LINES SUVA, FIJI.âThe government of FIJI is to be congratulated upon the boldness with which it has undertaken the first stage of its education policy, says an editorial in the Western Pacific (Herald, Suva. The expenditure involved In providing for the salaries und allowances of the superintendent of education, the maintenance of his department, salaries of the trained staffs of tho grammar schools together with the £7000 proposed to be spent on the erection and equipment of the boarding school, goes to show that tho government Is in earnest. The board of education, the article continues, is soon to take Initial steps with non-European education. This is a vaster und much more Intricate problem. The problem Is vast because of the numbers involved. White children in the group number a few hundreds; those of Indian and Fijian races number scores of thousands. The situation Is difficult because of neglect. The government's policy in tho past has been ono of masterly inactivity. The solution would havo been simpler had, It been attempted earlier. Then the work might have grown along with tho need. Education on sound lines, education FOR RENT Excellent house, 3 bedrooms, close In, no hills; nice garden; moderate rent. Bungalow close in; $12.

Lot there be no delusion as to J this. From every aspect, social, in-.' dustrlal, economic, moral, th© well- being of the colony is bound up with the education of its non-European peoples, the paper asserts. An assurance to the government of India that we arc making an honest effort upon an adequate scale to provide for In-j dian education would be ono of thei greatest factors to facilitate future im-| migration. There arc many technical difficulties] upon which we do not propose to en-1 large at present the place of industrial education and the means of occompl . lishing it, tho meeting of the needs ol the rural Fijian who, as a child of thf soil cannot be fitted into ready madl systems imported from other lands, thj relation of the vernaculars to EngllsJ in the type of race that we shall pn duce for the next and succeeding gen1! orationsâthese, wc repeat, will not bo solved in a day, even by expert minds. A word Is necessary, however, with regard to the means and instruments of education. It is probable that the government will not be able to carry out the work of non-European education without inviting the cooperations of other agencies. We havo now before us tho total cost of the government schools for Fljlans at Nasinu and Lau. Wc arc under the impression that tho outlay per head of pupils is such that an extension of this method of education to the whole non-European population of the colony would Involve such an expenditure as could not bo seriously considered. Nationalist bodies, both Fijian and Indian and even private individuals, will doubtless be found willing to organize schools if the government will assist by subsidies, the writer believes,, but warns that while such means of education may perhaps be utilized, the danger that influences subversive of loyalty may creep Into schools of this nature, makes It necessary that caution be exercised. The greatest part of non-European education has been carried on hitherto by the missions and the service rendered by them through their schools Is much greater, possibly than the community generally understands. The government may benefit much. by inviting the fullest cooperation of tho missions, whose understanding of the minds of the peoples among whom they work may enable them to avoid serious blunders.

World conditions are such that a strong market for silver seems assured for many years to come, and perhaps for all time, says tho Mining Record. Indeed, It is doubtful If any one living today will ever see silver sell under 70 cents and it is more likely to go over a dollar, /and remain at around that figure. Prophecy, this may be, but it Is backed by logjc and reflects the opinions of acknowledged authorities on finance. Very evidently there should be no hesitancy on the part of capitalists to Invest in silver properties; and this is trebly true of those old mines'where remunerative ore is positively known to exist, ready to be manufactured Into dividends. Surely Ihey wll not remain idle when the labor situation is remedied; and then Colorado may again achieve tho distinction of being known as the silver state, with its rejuvenated camps working at capacity to supply the demands of Christendom for practically unlimited quantities of the white metal.

Wheat and oats reflected the strength of corn. Trading in wheat, however, was not much above sserp in volume, the general assumption being that complete control of the market would soon be taken over by the government. On the other hand business in oats was large and the value of the grain was lifted, especially by a good, export demand. Strong hands took control of all the provisions delivered on -July contracts.

Y.âWhile coal resources In the remote nnd difficult localities are of very slight value at the present time, owing to tlie availability of much greater resources near large renters of population, the coal fields of the Arctic may have great potential value for the fi lure should the present stock of nynilahlc coal become exhausted. This statement was made by Dr. Isaiah Bowman, director of the American Geographical society, In discussing the significance of the discoveries made in the north by Donald U. McMillan, as reported in McMillan's recent report. "Mr. McMillan speaks," said Dr. bowman, "of tho large game resources In the soveral localities he visited,.and particularly on Rlesmore island. While tills undoubtedly has a high importance for future explorers, or for preliminary survey of the resources of the region, such game Is a poor reliance In the case of general Industrial development. The most Important possible resource is the conl which he mentioned as occurring all through plesmere Island. Hut this coal has lefts interest to Industry than it has to geolqglcal science, for the matter uf [ho deposition of the coal and the light it throws upon the climate of the past arc of great Interest to geographers and geologists. These facts arc also in line of what has been known of Greenland for many years, that it at one time hod a mild climate quite different from the rigorous Arctic conditions which are found there today. "McMillan's determination of latitude and longtltudo are especially important. On Captain Rernlcr's map of 1909 North Cornwall and Finlayland are represented In only their southern portions. On tho map of the Arctic regions published by the American Museum of Natural History and the American Geographical society In 1912 still later explorations are shown, but they represent only meagre reports and distant sights and the geographical position of a number of Important land musses must now be corrected. "For example, McMillan speaks of u large Island to the east of Amu ml Hinges Lund In latitude 78 degrees 18 minutes. If this observation is correctly reported, Rlnges land is either Incorrectly shown on previous maps or extends much farther south than has previously been supposed. In any future exploration of the region, or should there be any economic development of It, the exact position of Important islands and capes must be represented on our maps. "The war has practically stopped all tlie more expensive explorations that' had been planned before its beginning. Shack el ton has just recently returned and there Is no exploring expedition In the Antarctic at the present time. With the return of tho Crocker Land expedition there will be but one exploring party in the north at the present time, that of Stefannson, and It Is expected at Ottawa that he will return during the early autumn months. With his return there will be no exploring party in the north. "There are several projected expeditions, one of which has been noted In the press a number of times during the past year, that of Captain Roald Amundsen, who had planned to go north from Behrlng straits nnd remain In the Arctic for at least five years with a staunch, well equipped ship, which might lie expected to survive, and directed for portions of the Arctic not hitherto explored. He hoped by this means and through drifting with the Ice, to make known the extent of the large blank between Alaska and the pole, tlie borders of which were reached by Stel'fansson In 1915 and which the McMillan expedition search- ed for as the supposed Crocker Land." Tom Moore, the poet, was the son of a Dublin grocer. Without any pushing on his part his genius nnd his unaffected manner mado him a welcome guest everywhere. All London went mad over him. On one occasion nt a banquet he had made some brilliant witticisms. A snob, thinking to humiliate, him, leaned ovor the tublo to the poet and quite audibly said In a drawling tone: "Pwny, sir, wasn't .your" father a grosHOh?" Monro smilingly replied that he was. "Then, pwny," continued tho snob, why didn't he make a grossah of yon7" â - â , ., Moore quite affably retorted, "Wasn't your father a gentleman?" Of course he,wae7',was the rejoinder. "Thlfr why." queried Moore, "didn't ho moke u geuUejnuu ol you " RECENT OPERATIONS ARE R$VIE WED B Y GEN. HAIG LONDON, EnglandâField Marshal Halg has forwarded to the war office a dispatch covering operations from Bee. 18 to the present offensive. It affords a connected story and a valu- i.ble historical â¢ record, elucidating much th'at has hitherto been obscure, e,rd revealing the strategic plans behind the apparently isolated attacks and raids which continued throughout the winter, and showing all as flt- t'ng Into a comprehensive and systematic scheme in order to prepare a favorable situation for the spring advance. The report says: "Owing to the Somme battle the enemy in the region of the Ancre vnl- ley has been forced into a pronounced salient between the Ancre and Scarpo vnlleys, therefore a further short advance would glv.e us command of the Beaumont-Hame} spur. Accordingly, ar. attack was delivered against the defences overlooking the villages of Pys and Grandcourt on Nov. 18. Won Valuable Positions The object was to advance within assaulting distance of Lo Transloy- Loupart line. Five thousand yards of valuable positions were acquired. Tho weathe then hejd up operations until January, when tho whole spur was captured, and we advanced a thousand yards up the Beaucourt valley with exceedingly light casualties owing to skilful cooperation between the infantry and nrtillrey and fine aircraft work. Possession of the high ground opened up an extensive artillery field, end further successes on the third and fourth of February nave us an Important section of the German second line north of the Ancre, making the evacuation of Grandcourt inevitable. The Serre Salient The noxt task was to drive tho enemy from Beaucourt valley, which was begun on February 10. The capture of 1500 yards of trenches lying at the southern foot of Serre hill made the village of Serre a pronounced enemy fii-.llent, and further progress in the Ancre valley would make it untenable. Therefore, a larger operation >vas begun with the view of acquiring the northern extremity of the Morval- Thlepval ridge, which commanded the Southern approaches to Pys and Miruu- tnont and the observation of the upper Ancre valley. Simultaneously u smaller attack was designed to capture Miraumont. . Weather Favored Enemy During the night of Feb. 17 the assaults were delivered. Despite the heavy ground, a thick mist, and an alert enemy, who burraged, the troops assaulted with great gallantry. We succeeded completely, and gained the desired observations, also command of the enemy artillery positions in the tipper Ancre valley and defenses of Pys and Miraumont. Our subsequent bombardment, as anticipated, forced the evacuation of Pys on Feb. 24. On tho following day positions from the north of Quedecourt to the west of Serre were captured. The weather favored tho enemy retirement. The thaw broke up tlie reads, the sides of trenches collapsed mid the acquired ground became the worst quagmire. Contrary wise, the roads behind tlie enemy Unproved the lurther he withdrew, and a succession of misty days prevented rapid pursuit. Consequently it Is greatly to the credit of all ranks that constant touch with the enemy was maintained. Systematic Advance Continuous and systematic advance drove the enemy out from successive positions until March 2, when we reached Le Transloy-Loupart line, except at Irles, which formed a salient. Seven days were then devoted to improving communications and bringing up guns, and on March 10 Irles was captured. Our casualties were less tl;an the number of prisoners taken, who numbered 289. The way was thus opened for attacking Le Transloy-Loupart line, which was shelled so effectively on March 11-12 that the enemy fell back to parallel lines, and whereupon Loupart wood was occupied and methodical operations begun tor attacking the next. line. The Hindenburg Line Prior to this there were indications that the German withdrawal would be further extended. Tt had been ascertained that he had been preparing a new defensive system, known as the Hindenburg line, running from Arras southeastward to Queaht, thence west of Cambral towards St. Quontln. Various switches, branching off from this line, were also being f constructed. The enemy's Immediate concern appeared to be to escape from the salient be- tween Arras and Le Transloy. which became increasingly difficult to hold. It was also evident, however, that the enemy contemplated eventually the evacuation of the greater salient between Arras and the Aisne valley. Obstacles Encountered The dispatch then deals In detail with the operations between April 14- 19, In which the allies took possession of Cbaulnes, Bapaume, Peronne and numerous villages from which the enemy retired. On April 19 the advance reached the stage at which the increasing difficulty of maintaining communications compelled slackening the pace of the pursuit. South of Peronne. the lack of bridges, which the enemy had destroyed, presented a formidable obstacle, while north of Peronne the wide licit of devastated ground over which the Somme battle had been fought offered even greater difficulties to the passage of guns and transport. Had to Be Cautious Wo were advancing therefore, continues the dispatch, over a country in which all means of communication laid been destroyed, and against an enemy whose army was still intact and capable of launching a vigorous offensive should a favorable opportunity offer. Strong detachments of bis infantry and cavalry occupied points of vantage along the line of our advance, keeping the enemy Informed of our progress and screening his arm movements. His guns had already been withdrawn to previously prepared positions, available at any moment to cover and support counter strokes, while tho conditions of the country across which we were moving made the progress of our artillery slow. Hut the enemy's forces were known to be holding a formidable defensive system, upon which be could fall back should bis counter stroke miss Its aim. On the other hand, as our troops moved forward, they left all prepared defenses farther behind. In such circumstances tho necessity for caution was obvious. Repair Work Quickly Done. Meanwhile, despite the enormous difficulties which the condition of the ground and the ingenuity of tho enemy placed in our way, the work of repairing and constructing bridges, roads and railways was carried on with the most commendable rapidity. The despatch proceeds to describe how the enemy's resistance increased as the British peared the Hindenburg line, emphasizing the great costliness of his many counter attacks; flartlciK larly in attempts to recover Beau-- metz-Las-Cambrai. Winter Campaign - y Speaking of the outstanding features of the five months'' flghtlhfrfrom Nov. 18, Field Marshal Halg say«Y Despite the unusual a'evOrltV' of' the"' weather, the winter campaign wftfl^ conducted to u successful issue under the most trying and arduous conditional!.' The activity of our battlefrout -*as maintained without a break1 from the conclusion of last year's offensive to the commencement of the present op-" eratlons. The successful accomplish- r ment of this part of our general plon"i had already enabled us to realize nb Inconsiderable instalment of the fruits I of the Somme battle and has gone far to open the road to their full achievement. The courage and endurance of our troops have carried them triumphantly through periods of particularly trying fightmg, In which they were subjected to the muximum of personal hardship and physical strain Praise for Troops. I cannot speak too highly of tho quality of all ranks. The ability with which the troops In the Ancre were handled by Gen. Gough and further south by Gen. Rnwllnson, was in all respects admirable. The retreat to which the enemy was driven by our continued success reintroduced conditions approximating open fighting, in which cavalry was given an opportunity to perform its special duties. Although deliberate, the enemy's withdrawal enabled him to choose new ground for resistance and to employ every device to inflict losses. Our casualties which were exdoedlngl/y moderate throughout all our operation In the Ancre, became exceptionally light during tho period of retreat. Tribute to â Engineers' The prospect of a more general resumption of open fighting can be regarded with great confidence. The systematic destruction of roads, railways and bridges made unprecedented demands in the royal engineers, who were already heavily burdened by the work entailed in the preparations for the spring offensive. Our steady progress in the face of great difficulties is the best testimony to'the energy and thoroughness with which those (demands were met. The bridging of tho Somme at Brie Is an example of the nature of the obstacles which wo . encountered, and the rapidity of their removal; In this instance six gaps had to lie bridged across the river, where It is of considerable width and where the current flows swiftly. The work was commenced on the morning of March 18 and by 10 p.m. the Infantry bridges were completed; by 5 a.m. March HO. a medium typo bridge for horse transport and cavalry was completed, and by 2 p.m. of the 28th. heavy bridges, capable of taking all forms of traffic had replaced the lighter type- Transportation Problems Throughout the winter the transport problems were most serious, both In the buttle area and behind the lines, and on the rapid solution of these success necessarily largely depended. At the close of last year's campaign the steady growth of our armies and the rapid expansion of our material resources had already taxed the roads and railways to the utmost. The existing broad and narrow gauge railways were insufficient to deal With the increasing traffic, an undue proportion, of which was thrown upon the roads.

While junker annexationists and moderate antl-annexatlanlsts in Germany dispute ns to whether Helgium shall be annexed or not, the kaiser's government calmly proceeds on the theory that Belgium is already annexed. It Is treated as belonging already to the. German empire, but as being subject to special penalties because it has pot properly appreciated the delights ot German kultur and of being the country that Uethmann-Hollweg (old the relchstag the German troops had to hack their way through as a necessity of war in August three years ago. That Belgium is being treated as part of Germany is proved by tlie fact that some Belgian workmen have just been sentenced to jail terms on the charge of treason. Treason cannot bo Committed against a foreign country. But Belgium is being treated as ir It were Germany. â Of course, Germany intends lo bold It, It It can. Is not Belgium the pistol that is to be used to blow off the head of hated England in tho second great war that is to follow the present struggle? The question as to whether Belgium Is to be annexed will be settled not in Germany, but by the issue of the struggle between the entente and Teuton armies. REPUBLICAN RUS3IA WIN? ITS FIRST VICTORY The initial offensive of revolutionary Russia's army was more successful than early reports indicated. To huve captured 10,000 Germans is no small achievement for an army which has been, In a sense, dry-rotting through inaction, rent by Internal disputes and weakened by lack or discipline. An army which has just ceased occupying Itself wilh the business of arresting its officers nnd trying them on various charges, or engaging in arguments as to whether under a strict democracy officers have any place or not, Is doing pretty well when it achieves such a success as that recorded In yesterday's despatches from Petrograd and virtually admitted In the Berlin communique. But too much must not be hoped for from the Russian army in the immediate future. From now on there is little danger of any further fraternizing, but the Russian army cannot reach Its full fighting effectiveness until the country behind It has been reorganized and order fully restored. When that has been accomplished the Russian army will be stronger than at any time since the war began. It will no longer be hampered by the intrigues of pro-German czarism and a pro- German bureaucracy. A FEAR OF CONSCRIPTION THAT IS UNFOUNDED. A Regina man, passing through Nelson on his way to the coast, says the farmers in the prairies fear that conscription will deplete the supply of men necessary for agricultural production. That is exactly what conscription Will not do. It Is just what the voluntary system of enlistment has been doing from the commencement or the war. Men engaged in the essential industriesâfarming, mining, smelting, transportation, and so onâhave enlisted In great numbers. Directly tin- selective draft system is made <Ti'oc- tlve.no men actually engaged in the necessary Industries will be taken. The effect of selective draft will certainly not lessen the number of men engaged In the essential Industries. MORE THAN MATERIAL SAFETY AT 8TAKE. To offer ns an argument against conscription the statement that Canada is in no danger of actual physical Invasion Is to assume that Canadians are dying In this war for material reasons, which Is not true. Neither is It true that Canada Is In no danger of Invasion. It will not he free of the dan. ger of Invasion until Germany hns been defeated, but there Is something else that Is Impelling the men of Canada to Klve their blood for the great cause and which Is Impelling the women and children of Canada lo hear the sacrifices which they are bearing with such nobility of spirit and such splendid patriotism. The material stake nt Issue In this struggle Is great enough, but there is a moral stake. Canada is fighting for the maintenance of the hardwon lib â¢riles of mankind, Canadians ate dy ing that freedom may live, that the small nations and the large nations may be preserved from the destruction by a military despotism of all that they hold most dear. They arc dying that their children and grandchildren may not be exposed to the danger of being murdered or* suffering worse than death in another great struggle by Prusslanism for world power. They are dying to save the laboriously con structed edifice of civilization that the arch enemy of humanity is determined to destroy and to replace by the bloody Idol of militaristic ruthlessness. And Canada will see that those who have fallen shall not have died in vain. It. will not desert the men who are now In the trenches. The Russian bear has again begun to walk like a man. King Alfonso of Spain seems destined for quiet retirement beside his former neighbor, Manuel of Portugal, Wnr Minister Kerensky has his own methods of persuading the Russian troops to inaugurate an offensive. It is hoped that ho will not ride into the firing line very often. He is too valuable n man to lose. The phlnese are reversing the Russian and Spanish order of things. They are endeavoring to reestablish an absolute monarchy. If they succeed they will find that the Manchu divine-right dynasty cannot survive. It is too far behind the times.

In u small Ontario town ono day recently a farmer walked Into the branch of tho Canadian Ba£k of Commerce and demanded the balance of his savings accountâa few thousand dollars. The reason? He had read In the newspapers of "Conscription of Wealth." This is just nn instance of how the public mind may be inflamed in an unsettled time like the present by reckless newspaper talk. Also it is a sample of the reckless methods by which many editors seek to cater to popular public opinion. The idea of confiscating wealth will always bo popular with the non-thinking masses, especially so long as popularity-seeking newspnpers continue to encourage Uie idea rather than to educate the people to a common sense view of the relations of capital and labor. If Individuals burled their treasure in their cellars there would be ftn excuse for such an agitation as that which Is being aroused. But they do not. Every dollar is either invested or deposited in a bank and is therefore financing production or commercial business, in fact all monies Invested within the nation are employed in the service of the nation and in the last analysis are In control of the nation. It is for the nation to organize finnnciul and national resources to best perform the required service. But It; must bo remembered thnt Canada is a young country. She has illimitable natural resources, but'has only since the war been producing sufficient to pay her way. The more capital she takes for the war the less she will have to finance production. The policy of deferring war debts is sound business if in the conservation of capital such capital can be made to produce more than the interest on borrowings. It is for the government to consider our national war debt and what should be raised against It nnnualjy and then distribute the burden in the manner it can best bo borne without hindering productive development. â Financial Post.

Tho answer to this is simply that under tlie bill every province will be treated on the same principle.

It is also a hint to some of the Liberal M. P.'s from this province that they have been giving the party a false load in this matter." In fact the two parties in Ontario are as near, ly as possible of tho same mind on the subject of conscription as two political parties could lie. The same Is true, though perhaps in less degree, in the west. The only organized opposition to the measure Is to be found In the maritime provinces and Quebec and even in the maritime provinces most of the opposition seems lo spring from Ingrained party habit. Some of the strongest Liberals from the seaboard are warm supporters of conscription. The load given to the nation has been responded to, nnd If tho motion had originated in a people's movement.

The Ottawa plan of uniting all elements, Irrespective of their war attitude, on a common platform, is directly opposed to the spirit which brought so many thousands to the Massey hall meeting to declare for conscription and victory. The temper of that audience was grave and stern. Partisan politics and measures of political expediency were bitterly denounced. The unquestioned spirit of the meeting wns to support the men nt the front Immediately and to sacrifice mere party considerations to national unity and "win the wnr." It is now becoming evident that no such spirit animates tho official Lib eral party at Ottawa. Thoughtful Liberals here are suspicious of the desperate straining to conciliate all elements. They recognize that there can bo no true affillntion between the rioters of Quebec and conscriptlonists of Ontario. They know that no sincere platform can accommodate both sections. They know that in pronouncing against conscription Sir Wilfred Laurler has given authority to the activities of every lukewarm and disloyal element in tlie Dominion. They know that the men at the front must have support, and have It soon. Because of these facts they look with regret and suspicion upon tho obvious political manoeuvring that is going on among the official Liberal leaders at Ottawa. A percentage of Liberals all over the province will refuse to follow Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The number Is increasing every day and with the official jockeying at Ottawa among tho other leaders of the party, the break with Sir Wilfred is extending to a break with the whole organization. The machine is being repudiated in tho cities and throughout the constituencies. The rank and file in Ontario wants union government, in Toronto there is earnest hope that coalition will still be possible, lhat N. W. Rowcll will enter the cabinet as the leader of Ontario and the patriotic Liberals of the Dominion, and that the English-speaking Liberals of the house of commons will not refuse the generous and patriotic appeal of the prime minister. If they do refuse Itâ if as a consequence Mr. Rowell also declines to enter a union cabinetâthe party in this province will be split from top to bottom. The anger among Liberals In Ontario against temporizing with antiwar elements while the men nt the front are sacrificing their lives for the Dominion, is Increasing every day. Pressure is being brought to bear on Mr. Rowell to declare outright against such indifference to the critical war situation. It is believed that he will pronounce unequivocally for conscription and against the leadership of Sir Wilfrid Laurler he will carry the party in Ontario solidly behind hlin and win such support from the west that he will eventually assume tho leadership of the federal party and win for It the national respect and goodwill that it is losing overy day from the actions of present leaders at Ottawa.âToronto News. .TOO MUCH LOVE FOR LAU- i RIER, TOO LITTLE LOVE FOR T CONSCRIPTION.

A day of fervent rejoicing in palace and in hovel that did much to dispel the gloom of the unfortunates who bad been unable to get anything to oat with their food tickets! Attended by his gorgeously uniformed staff the kaiser went In stale to his favorite place of worship to give devout thanks to his divine junior partner and to hear Herr Pastor Stumpf preach a sermon on patriotism from a text taken from the gospel of Nlotzcho. He spoke of the German peasant and the privilege he enjoyed of giving his life for his emperor. Not since Herr Pastor Bnempf delivered bis memorable discourse on tho good fortune on- joyed by the Belgian women who became "lady companions" of highly placed German officers has such eloquence issued from a Berlin pulpit. It was moot and fitting thnt the pious Huns should give thanks to their kaiser's partner for the glorious triumph of their arms. No wonder their hearts were filled with a solemn and holy joy. Never before since the beginning of tho war had 20 little children ben massacred and 04 wounded in a single airplane bombardment of London.âNew York Herald. â¦-»-â¦-â¦â »â¦ *>*>*> + »â¦>-â¦â «>â¦â â¦â¦ *>-*»â¦>â¦â »â â¦ 'WARE THE HIDDEN HAND. It is unfashionable to suggest that Gorman agents are to be found in Canada. The wise and the scribes are frankly contemptuous of one who wonders If any of the kaiser's money is in circulation here. Incredulity hus marked the attitude of the majority of Canadians since the war began. The minority, which includes Sir Percy Sherwood, and a number of police officials in every city, knows better. Of the activities of German spies in the United States during its time of neutrality, wo have heard in full measure. Amsterdam today is a nest of spies. France has been so troubled that only the native-born can gel work of any kind. Everywhere else In the world Germany has been served, and is being served today by men and women In all ranks of life. Some of them are Germans. Somo are money lovers of other nationality, but they are atl laboring to paralyze the arms of the kaiser's enemies. Why should Canada be ignored by the central powers? If no spies and no German money are to be found here It Is the most astonishing/act of the war. Lot us understand that while many of the government's opponents nre incorruptible and ontlrely conscientious, many are also likely to believe stories and rumors set on foot by less immaculate people. It must be understood that tho chief object of nny German agents In Canada today Is to turn our attention away from tho war nnd Its requirements and to lend us Into Internecine quarrels. The man who pours oil on the fires of domestic discord is either a conscious ur unconscious German agent.

ON The following open letter to Premier Brewster and which deals with the 100 per cent increase in taxation that has been inflicted on farmers, whllo the Increase on wild land Is 25 per cent, appears in the Victoria Colonist of June 27: Sir,âTo the Hon. H. C. Bwrester, Premier, Victoria, B. C: Respected SirâA few dnys ago, when at the assessor's office paying my taxes for the present year, I was informed that the government had authorized the imposition of a surtax due and payable on July 31, and equal in extent to the amount of tlie land tax for the current year. Now, sir, if yon will be good enough to indulge me, I should like to give you a few private details In regard to my income and the effect the taxes have on same. I am (and have been for the past nine years) engaged in the noble profession of chicken farming, and appeared after six years of strenuous endeavor, in a fair way of making a success of It'and. t may mention incidentally, realize a lifetime ambition, but, unfortunately, the world war broke out, which had the effect of placing a very detrimental und serious handicap on my business, and after striking a balance sheet for the year 1914-15 It showed that 1 had boon able with the help or God to make a net profit on my operations for the year of $359 which, loss taxes amounting to $119, left me with $241 on which to support myself und wife, and tho labor Involved in achieving this handsome recompense Including the pulling of my ox out of the ditch overy Sunday. I had, however, a little better success I am glad to relate, during 1915-16, when, on account of a much Improved market for my produce, and a relaxed tension of the price of feed, I wns able lo show n net profit of $802; but in regard to the present year I havo not had the courage, so far, to look the situation straight in the face; I will say, however, for your Information, that I shall consider myself lucky If I am able to break even, due to feed prices being approximately 90 per cent over those of last year,' Now, sir, you will rcudlly see: tV.at this Increase in taxation hits me below the belt and is In effect a knockout, Inasmuch as the total will amount to $200, or equul to one-quarter of my entire Income for last year. What would have been my position if, instead of putting my little cash into land, I had invested it In 7 per cent dividend bearing stocks and shares? I should have derived an Income from same of something like $950 and this amount being below the minimum subject to income tax would have placed me on the footing of a man liable to the government under the new arrangement for a $5 head tax und-a $2 road tax, total of $7; and I now ask you with all deference why should I be held up to the extent of $200 just because I am endeavoring to farm, when If I lay back nnd loafed I would only have to dig up $7? Now, sir, I do not wish to write unkindly in the matter, but It Just amounts to this: if I am expected to contribute 25 per cent of my ,hard earned income In order to help pay some of your $5000 a year men, while the other follow gets off scot free, I shall at the first opportunity seek a country where the administration expenses are a little more moderate, and where those in authority have the ability to arrange a more equitable adjustment of the burdens placed on the shoulders of Its citizens.

If Food Disagrees Drink Hot Water When food lies like lead' In the stomach and you have that uncomfort able, distended feeling. It is because of insufficient blood supply to the stomach, combined with acid and food fermentation. In such cases try tho plan now fotlowed In many hospitals and advised by many eminent physicians of taking a teaspoonful of pure blsu- rutcd magnesia In half a glass of water us hut us you can comfortably drink it. The hot water draws the blood to the stomach und the blsuratod magnesia, as any physician can tell you, Instantly neutralizes the acid and stops tho food fermentation. Try this simple plan and you will be astonished at the immediate feeling of relief and comfort that always follows the restoration of the normul process of digestion. People who find it Inconvenient at times to socuro hot water and travelers, who are frequently obliged to take hasty meals poorly prepared, should always take two or three five- grain tablets of Bis mated Magnosla after meals to prevent rcrmentntlon and neutralize the acid In their stom- ach.

OR HAY ENTER KEEN CABINET Move Is On at Capital to Get Rid of Brewster and Put in Weart as Premier. VICTORIA, July -'.âRumors that Hon. William Sloan and Hon. .1. 11. King will soon leave the Brewster cabinet are coupled with statements that John Keen, M. P. P. lor Kaslo, may get the portfolio ol' mines and that Premier Brewster may go to England as agent-general, and be succeeded here by .1. W. Weart of South Vancouver, who recently resigned tlie speakership. J. 13, W. Thompson of Grand Forks Is also mentioned for a cabinet position, but there are several const men who will put hard lights for any vacancies that may occur. They consider that the allocation of cabinet 'positions by .Premier Brewster litis definitely established the interior representation at iwo members, Instead of the four given it under the Bowser administration, and thai the const and island districts should get all the rest. It is said lhat Mr. Sloan has his eye on the agent-generalship if he resigns and he would probably get a lot of support for the position, as he is regarded as a "good mixer." Those who support Mr. Brewster for the position, if it should become necessary for him to resign the premiership, declare that Mr, Sloan has not sufficient business ability to handle the work to the advantage of tlie province, Mr. Sloan's supporters retort in somewhat similar terms. The Victoria byelection, in whicli the final count shows that Hon. John Hart, minister of finance, only beat Dr. Hall by 144 votes, has been the cause of much of the revival of talk of changes in the cabinet as It is a bad blow to the government, but the possibility of further Investigations into .campaign funds being forced by the Vancouver independent Liberal clement is another factor. There are many rumors of a "round robin" to ask Premier Brewster to resign. Those who favor Weart for premier have picked out Jerry McGeer of Richmond for attorney-general and claim that they have a strength of l'J members on the government side of the house. The Victoria byelection was morally a defeat, as a great many Conservatives stood aside ami did not vote, the big vote polled by Dr. Hall coming in a large measure from dissatisfied Liberals. To r'ass Prohibition. Prohibition Is an clement of uncertainty insofar as the probable action to be token by the government is con cerned. It is stated, however, that part of the cabinet has decided to jam through a bill at the August session. Tills expectation Is based largely on the fact that at the byelection promises were made to the prohibitionists in Victoria in order to get their support for Mr. Hart. Finances are giving the government some trouble. It is reported that the best offer the government has been able to secure Is $1,000,000 loan at 6'A per cent interest with ?12ii,000 more discount than the late government had to pay. Last session's leslslatlon has had the effect, hankers say, of frightening eapital and making it hard to in. duce the financial interests to loan money to the province at the old rales, although money generally is cheaper since the I'nlted States decided to pay only 3% per cent on its big war loan.

Railway Building An Increase of railway facilities of every type and on a large scale therefore became Imperatively and necessarily urgent. Great quantltes of material and rolling stock were required Immediately, while subsequently our wants In that regard were considerably augmented by a large program of new construction in the area of the enemy's withdrawal. The task of obtaining the amount of railway material required and the carrying out of the work of construction at the rate which our plans rendered necessary, besides providing labor and material for the repair of roads, was one of the greatest difficulties. Its successful accomplishment reflects the highest credit on the transportation service, of whose efficiency and energy I cannot speak too highly. Aid From Canada 1 desire lo acknowledge In tho fullest manner the debt which the country owes to all who assisted In meeting this most difficult situation, especially to Sir Brio Geddes, director general of transportation, io whose great ability, organizing power and energy the results achieved are primarily due. I also wish to place on record the fact that the successful solution of this problem would havo been impossible but for the patriotism of the rallway compantes at home nnd in Canada, who did not hesitate to give up locomotives and rolling stock required and even to tear uu their tracks to provide Frank Keenan and Margery Wilson Was she u slave?

Regrets Destruction The despatch concludes: The loyal cooperation and complete mutual understanding between our allies and ourselves throughout the Somme battle has been continued and strengthened by the events of the winter, and particularly by the circumstances 11- tending the enemy's withdrawal. During the latter part of the period under review a very considerable tract of country has been won back to France by the combined effort of the allied troops. This result Is regarded with lively satisfaction by all ranks of the British army in France. At the same time I wish to express the feelings of deep sympathy nnd profound regret provoked among us by the sight of the destruction that tlie war has wrought in a once fair and prosperous countryside. AT THE THEATRES "The Bride of Hate" at Gem Tonight The strange life drama of Mercedes, a beautiful Spanish girl wrongfully hold in slavery, is told In "The Bride of Mate." the Triangle play which will be seen at the Gem theatre tonight. Mercedes is introduced by Dr. Duptey Duprcz, a southern planter, to bis friends as a creole girl, his object being to use her in a plan of revenge against Paul Crenshaw, who has betrayed the doctor's niece and caused her suicide. Crenshaw falls In lovo with .Mercedes and marries her, after which Duprez reveals the girl's negro blood. Crenshaw, ostracized by society, meets a violent end, after which the doctor finds he himself has made a terrible mistake, the girl being as white as he is.

The manufacturing Industries and the crops are flourishing. The judge said: "Times are so good that the east IB enjoying unprecedented prosperity, but the fly in the ointment Is a danger that as wealth increases men decay, the comforts and luxuries which easy money provides are not always, an unmixed blessing. I am not prepared to be uncharitable or hypercritical but the fact remains that there are thousands of young men who must be evading the call to serve, avoiding the glory of military service for meaner duties. Whether the spirit of sacrifice has decayed In this abounding prosperity is not for me to Judge but certainly the time has come to change the question of 'will you come' to 'you shall go.' Time to Save the People This Is not a time to consult the people, It Is u time to save them. Our men at the frortt arc colling for help and we must send it. I am not unprejudiced in my attitude to extending the terms of the Militia act to tho present critical 'conditions. I have from the outbreak of the war advocated in public a pel private the justice nnd necessity of selected service as provided in our Militia act, sections 10 to 15, which divides those liable to serve into four classes. We have conscription everywhere. In our system pf taxation, federal, provincial and municipal, In our criminal laws, in education and In every page of our statutes, and now when our national life Is at stake we hold academic discussions about our constitution. I cannot enter into any controversial questions. I know good men differ on this question, but I think an equal responsibility rests on men In Canada, whether taken Individually, by families or by provinces, and let me say i am prouder of the spirit of the west, our splendid west, which certainly Is not unduly blessed with wealth, but has sent great numbers to fight for the Empire nnd something even greater than the Empire." WARM IE HELP GRA N CROPS Outlook for Another Heavy Yield in Saskatchewan Is Excellent Says C. M. Learmonth. While the cold spring held the Saskatchewan crops back copious rains in June brought them along splendidly and they are now in tho shot blade and looking extremely well, stated C. M. Learmonth, U.S.A., of the extension department staff of tho University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, at tho Hume last night. "All that Is needed now to round out a bumper crop is more rain, followed by warm weather for ripening tho grain," he staled, Mr. Learmonth stated that the acreage sown In grain is about the same this year as It was last. There Is somo decrease In wheat owing to the shorlage of labor last fall, the high price of seed wheat and to some extent to the tendency of fanners lo go Into mixed farming. He said that there is an Increase In oats and barley and the coarser grains generally. "Following the harvesting of two good crops the farmers In Saskatchewan are optimistic regarding the outlook for this year's crops," said Mr. Learmonth. Ho said that his department was do. ing its utmost to encourage agriculturists to go Into mixed farming and said that the province was being gradually transformed from a. cattle and wheat country Into a flourishing mixed farming area.
