Save Your Magazines ( The boys in the trenches are gluttons for reading matter. If you have any recent magazines that you do not need, by handing them to Secretary Jack Frost of the Soldiers' Aid, who will thus be able to augment his fortnightly bundles of The Miner, you will be helping to cheer the boys in their daily round of trench life and help them relieve monotony. London: South and southwest of Oppy yesterday Haig struck a sudden, tremendous blow at the German lines, capturing forward positions on a front of two thousand yards and gaining the whole object sought. Our troops continue to gain ground on a wide front south of the Souchez river and have entered Avion. Lens is practically a ruins from both the German scheme of destruction and the shells of the fighting forces. Hindenburg is thought to staging another strategic retreat after the fall of Lens. The belief in Holland is that next week's meeting of the German reichstag may produce startling developments. The press is declared to be completely muzzled. "Peace before victory would be the greatest disaster in the ��� history of mankind," declared Lloyd George in an epoch-making speech yesterday. The war, he said, will only stop when the Allies have attained their ends. Russian inactivity in Mesopotamia is hampering Gen. Maude. The British expeditionary force there is now admirably equipped.

June 30, 1917 No. 44 ROOSEVELT AND THE MAP OF EUROPE T et the average citizen get into his mind what this war is for. ���" The Prussianized Germany of the Hohenzollerns has shown itself even more the enemy of freedom and humanity and justice and international right than was Napoleon's France. Did they but know it, the German people themselves would benefit by our victory; and especially the people of South Germany and of Austria, who would be freed from the tyranny of Prussia, and would be guaranteed in all their rights���surely more than an offset for not being allowed to wrong others. Belgium and France must have all that has been taken from them restored. The Turks must leave Europe���a democratic Russia at Constantinople will threaten no one; or eise a free internationalized Constantinople could be established. Armenia should be free and autonomous. Austria is not a country, but a knot of nationalities of which two tyrannize over the others. Let the Hungarians keep Magyar Hungary, and the Austrians German Austria. Let the Italians have Trentino and Trieste. Let there be a great Serbia, a great Bohemia.a great Roumania. Poland should once more be a nation, which should include all the Polish lands, and have an outlet on the Baltic through old Polish Prussia, old West Prussia. East Prussia, which is Germany, would be unavoidably separated from the other German lands, but it could keep united politically and commercially by arrangements for through railway traffic,such as we have with Canada as regards our international railroads. The Germans would keep Germany, would lose nothing except the right to oppress others, would suffer no injustice. Home rule should come to Ireland. Seek justice for every one; the Dane of North Schleswig, the Finn, the Uniate, the Caucassian in Russia. Endeavor to secure a guarantee of real religious freedom and fair play for Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox and Jew alike. ���Colonel Roosevelt. Everybody is aware also that the copper supplies of that great industrial area in western Europe, comprising the territory of the central powets, have been exhausted, and that following the termination of the war the manufacturers in that section will have to be resupplied. We know too that the rehabilitation of transportation facilities, both on land and sea will call for immense tonnages of copper, and there is reasonable assurance that the industrial development of the world will receive new impetus immediately, after peace is reestablished. The outlook, viewed from every possible standpoint, therefore, is favorable to the continuing prosperity of the copper producing business for a very long period of years to come. Though there is no prospect will sell at 28 or 30 cents a pound indefinitely, there are indications that a materially higher level of prices than those prevailing prior to the war will be necessary to encourage the immense volume of production that will be required to supply the demand. OF INTEREST TO LOCAL SETTLERS Hon. John Oliver, minister of agriculture, has authorized the purchase of a limited number of stumping machines,to be supplied to farmers' institutes on a deferred payment system. This action is the outcome of a number of requests received by the department from farmers' institutes. In giving the farmers' institutes this opportunity to purchase these machines the department assumes absolutely no responsibility, and makes no recommendations regarding comparative efficiency of the various types of machines on the market. The deputy minister and superintendent of institutes,Wm. E. Scott, has witnessed several demonstrations and at each one the results have been satisfactory. The department of agriculture will supply application forms to any farmers' institute on request. These forms must be signed by the president, vice-president and directors and also by five members of the institute. Freight charges on the machines must be paid by the institute from the factory. Terms of payment for the machines are: One third on delivery, one-third in one year and the remaining third in two years. No interest will be charged on unpaid balances, but interest at ten per cent will be charged on overdue payments. Institutes that fail to make their payments promptly will not receive their per capita grant on account of membership, but this sum will be devoted towards the payments due. The department recommends that all institutes securing these machines adopt a plan whereby a fixed charge of so much per diem be paid by members who use the mechine. By this means a fund will be provided towards paying the cost of the machine and depreciation in value. % The Hazelton Mines Under the caption "American Capital in Northern B.C." the Trail News prints the following: "Ninety per cent of all development on Rocher de Boule mountain, Hazelton district of British Columbia and vicinity, is being performed by American capital, and a large part of it is from Spokane, Wash., or under the management o f Spokane men,"said E. P. Spalding.mining engineer, on his return from the district, where he has spent about a year. "Among the properties represented by Spokane men are the Silver Standard, Rocher de Boule, Highland Boy, Cassiar Crown, a group owned by James Cronin and the Amargosa, of which I have charge. The Rocher de Boule has received $1,- 500,000 net smelter returns from its ore, the shipment of which began two years ago. Europe's Copper Exhausted Now the time has come to review past history and analyze the future outlook calmly and rationally, says Walker, the copper authority. It is common knowledge that the demand for copper has exceeded the supply for more than two years, that prices have been almost unbelievably high, that the producing companies, in addition to paying dividends at unprecedented rates, have accumulated vast sums in cash and quick assets, putting themselves in a stronger position to cope with trade emergencies than they ever have been before, '^ If m . m S.

Here the German crown prince engaged in a series of attacks on the French lines along the western end of the Chemin des Dames, where the curving front protects the German fortress of Laon, which a further French advance would menace. These attacks met with success at one or two places, notably near Froidmont farm, where a considerable salient of the French line fell into German hands. Serious attempts to debouch from this salient were broken up by the French and no further advance was made. In the eastern war theater are indications that important fighting may soon be under way. While conditions in inner Russia continue uncertain and mixed, the nation's armed forces seem to be regaining their morale, and are nearly ready to attack once more. Everywhere signs point to a demand for a general move without delay. While the Italians were forced to let up in their attacks in the Trentino, which resulted in the capture of the important height of Monte Ortega, it was emphasized in an announcement that the Austrians lost some of their heavy artillery as well as suffering other losses of magnitude in the operations. Copenhagen: Two-thirds of the workmen of the Berlin shops of the Prussian state railways struck yesterday to enforce their demands for a 9-hour day. The men, who have been working 11 hours a day, declare it is impossible to continue such work on inadequate food. New York: More than two thousand British and Canadian subjects in the U.S. have enlisted at the British recruiting station here. Stockholm: An anti-British propaganda has been begun here by T. S. Gaffney, former Ameri- consul at Munich, who declares he is here to represent the cause of Irish freedom. TUESDAY, JUNE 26 New York: General Pershing's force of 25,000 American soldiers in all probability holds four miles of trenches between Anglo-French sectors on a portion of the west front. London : Although" official statements report little activity, the British are keeping up their pressure day and night along the entire 120-mile front which they occupy. Last night a number of local enterprises were carried out successfully. One of these operations was rather important, as it increased our grip about Lens. Under the light of the stars British troops stormed and captured four hundred yards of front line German trenches eastof Riaumont wood, on the western outskirts of Lens, thus drawing closer to the mining capital. Elsewhere, several raids in the darkness served to keep the Prussians' nerves on edge, and a number of the enemy was killed. Col. Repington sums up the efforts of the British drive. He declares Hindenburg is unable to do anything but support his tottering defences. All possibility of taking the offensive has been snatched from the German leader. A great reception was accorded Venizelos by the Greek people, who acclaimed the former premier and rushed to embrace him when he landed at Piraeus. A Veni- zelist ministry will supplant that of Zaimis, and the leaders are prepared to check any movement of the old regime. Amsterdam : A miracle is needed to save the German crops from failure. Teutonic papers unite in the statement that only a moderate return can be expected. The shortage of food has grown serious. The human supply is inadequate and cattle are in even a worse plight. Vegetable and fiuit crops are reported an utter failure. The people are eating wild plants. New York: A high state official has stated that the U. S. will soon evolve a new style of airplane wherin speed will be sacrificed for heavy armament and general invulnerability from attack. A huge fleet of torpedo-equipped airplanes is Rear-admiral Fiske's solution of the submarine problem, and it would be the answer to the German high seas fleet's refusal to leave the safety of the fortresses at Helgoland and Kiel. New York: T. P. O'Connor, accompanied by Richard Hazelton, M. P., has arrived here. The noted Irishman will lay the real issues before those of his race. Cork: Machine guns were used on Sinn Feiners in disturbances here yesterday morning. One was killed and several were wounded. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27 London: The outstanding feature of the battlefront activities in the past 24 hours was a great British drive towards Lens. The Germans have heen compelled since the Messines victory to keep large forces constantly mobilized to withstand countless surprise attacks. Recent operations in this section lead to the conviction that something approaching a decisive battle may be expected here in the near future. Hritish forces were busy yesterday along a fifty-mile front from Epehy northward to Hooge. The American government will announce the disposal of its forces on the western front at the proper time. Paris: Suddenly assuming the offensive over a wide front north of Hurtboise, the French last night captured front line German trenches and completely attained all objectives. The Huns lost heavily, and bOO were captured. Berlin: Sharp fighting took place yesterday between Teutons and Russians on the battlefronts of southeastern Galicia and in the Carpathians. On the eastern Macedonian front clashes have occurred between British and Bulgarian detachments. Athens: Greece is expected to join the Allies in a few months. The assumption of power by Venizelos may be followed by a great campaign for the Entente. The new premier will not mobil ize the nation against its will. Venizelos was received yesterday by King Alexander and will succeed Zaimis. French troops have entered Athens. Slight disturbances by Gounaris' followers were quickly subdued. The Allies now command the Greek situation. Rome: The conquest of the highest peak of Ortigara has given the Italians control of the whole of that mountain region. New York: The Russians are prepared to assume the offensive. A correspondent predicts a spectacular drive on the eastern front which will tax German resources to the utmost. The army is fit and anxious to redeem itself. Norway would fight if the U.S. gave the invitation. Secret service men say the country's rage is at boiling point over the continued outrages against her merchant marine. The German minister to Norway has resigned. Jassy: Germany has imposed a fine of 250,000,000 francs on the occupied Roumanian territory. THURSDAY, JUNE 28 London: Throughout the day Haig continued his tactics along the British front, harrying the enemy everywhere. Every day threatens Lens more. Everyday sees local battles and local retirements by the enemy. Air fleets flock the blazing sky. Prussian machines are conspicuously avoiding battle whenever possible. Air raid reprisals are not approved. The British cannot lower themselves to the level of the German murderers. The commission which investigated the Kut-el-Amara disaster severely blames Sir John Nixon, whose over-optimism was the main cause of the untoward affair. Armament and equipment were insufficient for the needs of the expedition. The former viceroy and commander-in-chief in India are held responsible. Paris: So thoroughly complete was the French victory on Tuesday at Hurteboise that the Germans did not even attempt a counter-attack. London: Alfonso of Spain may be the next king to lose his throne. The revolutionary movement is assuming large proportions and the dynasty is threatened. The monarch is accused of playing favorites, and two-thirds of the politicians favor his overthrow. Senor Marti may head a revolution. The royal family was hissed in the theaters. Washington: American troops have arrived safely in France. No figures are given. That the king of Bavaria plotted with the Russian agitator | Lenine is the deduction made alter intercepting wireless messages from the monarch. The revelation stirred the congress of soldiers' and workmen's delegates in Petrograd, and a resolution against sepaiate peace received overwhelming support. Italy's position is questioned by the Greeks. Venizelos is expected to clear up the situation with the Allies' aid. A counter to Italian ambitions is declared desirable. An immediate conflict of opinion rests upon the Italian occupation of Epirus. All uncertainties must be removed be fore Greece participates in the war. Christiania: The discovery of a German plot to destroy Norwegian steamers by explosives placed aboard them was unearth- last week, and has appalled the whole nation. FRIDAY, JUNE 29 London: Canadian troops have occupied the town of of Eleu Du Leavette, half a mile southwest of Lens. This is the nearest approach made yet on the city. Lens is now surrounded on three sides. Paris: The Germans last night attacked the salient of Wattweiler northeast of Thann, in Alsace, but were repulsed, leaving a number dead. Violent artillery engagements succeeded infantry fighting in the Hurteboise and Cornillet sectors. Paris is flooded with American naval officers and bluejackets from the ships which escorted the American expeditionary army on its voyage to France. They were given a great welcome. Amsterdam: Several priests of the entourage of Cardinal Mercier,primate of Belgium, were arrested recently and have been imprisoned in Germany. Twenty others have been incarcerated in Belgium, among them Cardinal Mercier's private secretary, who was sentenced to one year in prison for preaching a sermon on Christian charity. The Huns are fearful of a Russian offensive, and Austrian divisions are being hurriedly rushed from the Italian front. Washington: Somewhere in France thousands of American fighting men are encamped ready to take their places beside the the seasoned campaigners of the Allies. These forces will be a net gain to the Allies, as the men will be fed, clothed, armed and equipped by the United States. A sufficient supply for many months is already in France. Montreal: Henri Bourassa, in a three-hour speech, said Canada went into the war as a slave. Fear of invasion keeps two million men in England, he declared. He described meetings in Vancouver as being "terrorized" by soldiers, and made a threat of a big strike by anti-conscription- ists. DALBY B.
