Poland should\nonce more be a nation, which should include all the Polish lands,\nand have an outlet on the Baltic through old Polish Prussia, old\nWest Prussia.\nEast Prussia, which is Germany, would be unavoidably separated\nfrom the other German lands, but it could keep united politically\nand commercially by arrangements for through railway traffic,such\nas we have with Canada as regards our international railroads.\nThe Germans would keep Germany, would lose nothing except the\nright to oppress others, would suffer no injustice. Home rule\nshould come to Ireland. Seek justice for every one; the Dane of\nNorth Schleswig, the Finn, the Uniate, the Caucassian in Russia.\nEndeavor to secure a guarantee of real religious freedom and fair\nplay for Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox and Jew alike.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDColonel Roosevelt.\nEverybody is aware also that the\ncopper supplies of that great\nindustrial area in western Europe,\ncomprising the territory of the\ncentral powets, have been exhausted, and that following the\ntermination of the war the manufacturers in that section will\nhave to be resupplied. We know\ntoo that the rehabilitation of\ntransportation facilities, both on\nland and sea will call for immense\ntonnages of copper, and there is\nreasonable assurance that the\nindustrial development of the\nworld will receive new impetus\nimmediately, after peace is reestablished.\nThe outlook, viewed from every\npossible standpoint, therefore, is\nfavorable to the continuing prosperity of the copper producing\nbusiness for a very long period\nof years to come. Though there\nis no prospect will sell at 28 or 30\ncents a pound indefinitely, there\nare indications that a materially\nhigher level of prices than those\nprevailing prior to the war will\nbe necessary to encourage the\nimmense volume of production\nthat will be required to supply\nthe demand.\nOF INTEREST TO\nLOCAL SETTLERS\nHon. John Oliver, minister of\nagriculture, has authorized the\npurchase of a limited number of\nstumping machines,to be supplied\nto farmers' institutes on a deferred payment system. This action\nis the outcome of a number of\nrequests received by the department from farmers' institutes.\nIn giving the farmers' institutes this opportunity to purchase\nthese machines the department\nassumes absolutely no responsibility, and makes no recommendations regarding comparative\nefficiency of the various types of\nmachines on the market. The\ndeputy minister and superintendent of institutes,Wm. E. Scott,\nhas witnessed several demonstrations and at each one the results\nhave been satisfactory.\nThe department of agriculture\nwill supply application forms to\nany farmers' institute on request.\nThese forms must be signed by\nthe president, vice-president and\ndirectors and also by five members of the institute. Freight\ncharges on the machines must be\npaid by the institute from the\nfactory.\nTerms of payment for the\nmachines are: One third on\ndelivery, one-third in one year\nand the remaining third in two\nyears.\nNo interest will be charged on\nunpaid balances, but interest at\nten per cent will be charged on\noverdue payments. Institutes\nthat fail to make their payments\npromptly will not receive their\nper capita grant on account of\nmembership, but this sum will\nbe devoted towards the payments\ndue. The department recommends that all institutes securing\nthese machines adopt a plan\nwhereby a fixed charge of so\nmuch per diem be paid by members who use the mechine. By\nthis means a fund will be provided towards paying the cost of\nthe machine and depreciation in\nvalue.\n%\nThe Hazelton Mines\nUnder the caption \"American\nCapital in Northern B.C.\" the\nTrail News prints the following:\n\"Ninety per cent of all development on Rocher de Boule\nmountain, Hazelton district of\nBritish Columbia and vicinity, is\nbeing performed by American\ncapital, and a large part of it is\nfrom Spokane, Wash., or under\nthe management o f Spokane\nmen,\"said E.

Here\nthe German crown prince engaged in a series of attacks on\nthe French lines along the western end of the Chemin des Dames,\nwhere the curving front protects\nthe German fortress of Laon,\nwhich a further French advance\nwould menace. These attacks\nmet with success at one or two\nplaces, notably near Froidmont\nfarm, where a considerable salient\nof the French line fell into German hands. Serious attempts to\ndebouch from this salient were\nbroken up by the French and no\nfurther advance was made.\nIn the eastern war theater are\nindications that important fighting may soon be under way.\nWhile conditions in inner Russia\ncontinue uncertain and mixed,\nthe nation's armed forces seem\nto be regaining their morale, and\nare nearly ready to attack once\nmore. Everywhere signs point\nto a demand for a general move\nwithout delay.\nWhile the Italians were forced\nto let up in their attacks in the\nTrentino, which resulted in the\ncapture of the important height\nof Monte Ortega, it was emphasized in an announcement that the\nAustrians lost some of their heavy\nartillery as well as suffering other\nlosses of magnitude in the operations.\nCopenhagen: Two-thirds of\nthe workmen of the Berlin shops\nof the Prussian state railways\nstruck yesterday to enforce their\ndemands for a 9-hour day. The\nmen, who have been working\n11 hours a day, declare it is\nimpossible to continue such work\non inadequate food.\nNew York: More than two\nthousand British and Canadian\nsubjects in the U.S. have enlisted\nat the British recruiting station\nhere.\nStockholm: An anti-British\npropaganda has been begun here\nby T. S. Gaffney, former Ameri-\nconsul at Munich, who declares\nhe is here to represent the cause\nof Irish freedom.\nTUESDAY, JUNE 26\nNew York: General Pershing's\nforce of 25,000 American soldiers\nin all probability holds four miles\nof trenches between Anglo-French\nsectors on a portion of the west\nfront.\nLondon : Although\" official\nstatements report little activity,\nthe British are keeping up their\npressure day and night along the\nentire 120-mile front which they\noccupy. Last night a number of\nlocal enterprises were carried out\nsuccessfully. One of these operations was rather important, as\nit increased our grip about Lens.\nUnder the light of the stars British troops stormed and captured\nfour hundred yards of front line\nGerman trenches eastof Riaumont\nwood, on the western outskirts\nof Lens, thus drawing closer to\nthe mining capital. Elsewhere,\nseveral raids in the darkness\nserved to keep the Prussians'\nnerves on edge, and a number of\nthe enemy was killed.\nCol. Repington sums up the\nefforts of the British drive. He\ndeclares Hindenburg is unable to\ndo anything but support his tottering defences. All possibility\nof taking the offensive has been\nsnatched from the German leader.\nA great reception was accorded\nVenizelos by the Greek people,\nwho acclaimed the former premier\nand rushed to embrace him when\nhe landed at Piraeus. A Veni-\nzelist ministry will supplant that\nof Zaimis, and the leaders are\nprepared to check any movement\nof the old regime.\nAmsterdam : A miracle is\nneeded to save the German crops\nfrom failure. Teutonic papers\nunite in the statement that only\na moderate return can be expected. The shortage of food has\ngrown serious. The human supply is inadequate and cattle are\nin even a worse plight. Vegetable and fiuit crops are reported\nan utter failure. The people are\neating wild plants.\nNew York: A high state official has stated that the U. S. will\nsoon evolve a new style of airplane wherin speed will be sacrificed for heavy armament and\ngeneral invulnerability from attack.\nA huge fleet of torpedo-equipped airplanes is Rear-admiral\nFiske's solution of the submarine\nproblem, and it would be the\nanswer to the German high seas\nfleet's refusal to leave the safety\nof the fortresses at Helgoland\nand Kiel.\nNew York: T. P. O'Connor,\naccompanied by Richard Hazelton,\nM. P., has arrived here. The\nnoted Irishman will lay the real\nissues before those of his race.\nCork: Machine guns were\nused on Sinn Feiners in disturbances here yesterday morning.\nOne was killed and several were\nwounded.\nWEDNESDAY, JUNE 27\nLondon: The outstanding feature of the battlefront activities\nin the past 24 hours was a great\nBritish drive towards Lens. The\nGermans have heen compelled\nsince the Messines victory to keep\nlarge forces constantly mobilized\nto withstand countless surprise\nattacks. Recent operations in\nthis section lead to the conviction\nthat something approaching a\ndecisive battle may be expected\nhere in the near future. Hritish\nforces were busy yesterday along\na fifty-mile front from Epehy\nnorthward to Hooge.\nThe American government will\nannounce the disposal of its\nforces on the western front at\nthe proper time.\nParis: Suddenly assuming the\noffensive over a wide front north\nof Hurtboise, the French last\nnight captured front line German\ntrenches and completely attained\nall objectives. The Huns lost\nheavily, and bOO were captured.\nBerlin: Sharp fighting took\nplace yesterday between Teutons\nand Russians on the battlefronts\nof southeastern Galicia and in\nthe Carpathians. On the eastern\nMacedonian front clashes have\noccurred between British and\nBulgarian detachments.\nAthens: Greece is expected to\njoin the Allies in a few months.\nThe assumption of power by\nVenizelos may be followed by a\ngreat campaign for the Entente.\nThe new premier will not mobil\nize the nation against its will.\nVenizelos was received yesterday\nby King Alexander and will\nsucceed Zaimis. French troops\nhave entered Athens. Slight\ndisturbances by Gounaris' followers were quickly subdued. The\nAllies now command the Greek\nsituation.\nRome: The conquest of the\nhighest peak of Ortigara has\ngiven the Italians control of the\nwhole of that mountain region.\nNew York: The Russians are\nprepared to assume the offensive.\nA correspondent predicts a spectacular drive on the eastern front\nwhich will tax German resources\nto the utmost. The army is fit\nand anxious to redeem itself.\nNorway would fight if the U.S.\ngave the invitation. Secret service men say the country's rage\nis at boiling point over the continued outrages against her merchant marine.\nThe German minister to Norway has resigned.\nJassy: Germany has imposed\na fine of 250,000,000 francs on\nthe occupied Roumanian territory.\nTHURSDAY, JUNE 28\nLondon: Throughout the day\nHaig continued his tactics along\nthe British front, harrying the\nenemy everywhere. Every day\nthreatens Lens more. Everyday\nsees local battles and local retirements by the enemy. Air fleets\nflock the blazing sky. Prussian\nmachines are conspicuously avoiding battle whenever possible.\nAir raid reprisals are not approved. The British cannot lower\nthemselves to the level of the\nGerman murderers.\nThe commission which investigated the Kut-el-Amara disaster\nseverely blames Sir John Nixon,\nwhose over-optimism was the\nmain cause of the untoward affair. Armament and equipment\nwere insufficient for the needs of\nthe expedition. The former viceroy and commander-in-chief in\nIndia are held responsible.\nParis: So thoroughly complete\nwas the French victory on Tuesday at Hurteboise that the Germans did not even attempt a\ncounter-attack.\nLondon: Alfonso of Spain may\nbe the next king to lose his throne.\nThe revolutionary movement is\nassuming large proportions and\nthe dynasty is threatened. The\nmonarch is accused of playing\nfavorites, and two-thirds of the\npoliticians favor his overthrow.\nSenor Marti may head a revolution. The royal family was hissed in the theaters.\nWashington: American troops\nhave arrived safely in France.\nNo figures are given.\nThat the king of Bavaria plotted with the Russian agitator\n| Lenine is the deduction made\nalter intercepting wireless messages from the monarch. The\nrevelation stirred the congress of\nsoldiers' and workmen's delegates\nin Petrograd, and a resolution\nagainst sepaiate peace received\noverwhelming support.\nItaly's position is questioned\nby the Greeks. Venizelos is expected to clear up the situation\nwith the Allies' aid. A counter\nto Italian ambitions is declared\ndesirable. An immediate conflict\nof opinion rests upon the Italian\noccupation of Epirus. All uncertainties must be removed be\nfore Greece participates in the\nwar.\nChristiania: The discovery of\na German plot to destroy Norwegian steamers by explosives\nplaced aboard them was unearth-\nlast week, and has appalled the\nwhole nation.\nFRIDAY, JUNE 29\nLondon: Canadian troops have\noccupied the town of of Eleu Du\nLeavette, half a mile southwest\nof Lens. This is the nearest approach made yet on the city.\nLens is now surrounded on three\nsides.\nParis: The Germans last night\nattacked the salient of Wattweiler\nnortheast of Thann, in Alsace,\nbut were repulsed, leaving a\nnumber dead. Violent artillery\nengagements succeeded infantry\nfighting in the Hurteboise and\nCornillet sectors.\nParis is flooded with American\nnaval officers and bluejackets\nfrom the ships which escorted\nthe American expeditionary army\non its voyage to France. They\nwere given a great welcome.\nAmsterdam: Several priests\nof the entourage of Cardinal\nMercier,primate of Belgium, were\narrested recently and have been\nimprisoned in Germany. Twenty\nothers have been incarcerated in\nBelgium, among them Cardinal\nMercier's private secretary, who\nwas sentenced to one year in\nprison for preaching a sermon on\nChristian charity.\nThe Huns are fearful of a Russian offensive, and Austrian divisions are being hurriedly rushed\nfrom the Italian front.\nWashington: Somewhere in\nFrance thousands of American\nfighting men are encamped ready\nto take their places beside the\nthe seasoned campaigners of the\nAllies. These forces will be a\nnet gain to the Allies, as the men\nwill be fed, clothed, armed and\nequipped by the United States.\nA sufficient supply for many\nmonths is already in France.\nMontreal: Henri Bourassa, in\na three-hour speech, said Canada\nwent into the war as a slave.\nFear of invasion keeps two million\nmen in England, he declared.\nHe described meetings in Vancouver as being \"terrorized\" by\nsoldiers, and made a threat of a\nbig strike by anti-conscription-\nists.\nDALBY B.
