The healthof the men on the
voyage is • reported 'to have been
ascellent. On one `.;of the ehip&'• a;
grand military athletic tourna-
ment was held during the voyage.
Some of the.men seem to fear that
they -will not get at chance to go to
the front 'like the first Canadian
contingent, This is eausea by the
belief that the war will be over be-
fore their period of training sero
England is completed.
Major Hamilton Gault, of the
Princess Patricias, is now .a pa-
tient at the Queen's Canadian Hos-
pital at Shorneliffe. The Major is
suffering from a bullet wound in
the right forearm, and is being
treated by Cui.-S lr"geou Armour,
who expects that the officer's wish
to soon return to active service
will be gratified.
Several Patricia; mere who were
wounded in a recent ehar'ge on a

BPiTISg TROOPS HEALTII
Neither Typhus Nor Cholera Has Appeared Since
the Beginning of the War
A despatch. from London says
Tile first six months of the • war
passed without a single ease of ty
pilus or of cholera, in the British
army. including both the expedi-
tionary forces and the troops be the
British training 'camps. Smallpox
claimed.only one victim in the
rnited Kingdom, but returns in this
respect have not been given out by
the armies in Frtinee and Egypt. Of
184 eases "of diphtheria, only six
ended fatally. So far the greatest
cause of mortality among the troops
has heee pneumonia, w1hich resulted
in :357 deaths, out of 1,508 cases,
As regards other diseases, 625
eases of typhoid fever and 49 deaths
are reported in the expeditionary.
force. 'and 962 eases and 47 'deaths
in the campe in the United King-
<kiin, Scarlet fever had only 196
rases .and 4 deaths in the expedi-
ti»nary force, ,as against 1,379 cases
:and 22 deaths in Great Britain.
Measles," a disease as,ociated with
children, sent 1,045 recruits to the
English training camp hospitals,
with 65 deaths, while the seasoned
men on the Continent had only 175
sick front this cause, with two
deaths.
Considering that the British
army, regular and territorial, be-
gan the war with as half million
men, and ihas since expanded to
about 9,500,000, the low death rate
is said to have probably established
a record.
The report of the Canadians be-
ing snowed down by camp sicknesses
proved to be unfounded, and the
:'admiralty now says in regard to a
similar rumor affecting the naval
division in training at the Crystal
Palace that only two per cent. of
the 8,000 men are now on the sick
report.
THE : EM'S LOSSES
NOW TOTAL 5,000,000
.l:litualed German Casualties as
Calculated by the French
Press Damao.
1 despatch from. Paris say -ss: An
official note .issued by the French.
Press Bureau declares that the
German losses sines the beginning
of hostilities in killed, wounded,
sick, and prisoners, reaches the
enormous total of 3,000,000 men.
This calculation is based on the
known casualties in ten German
regiments.
"Analysis of the German losses
during five months, in ten regiments
taken from army corps on both the
eastern and,„western German
fronts, sihows a total of 36,281 offi-
cers and soldiers; that is, an aver-
age per regiment of 725 monthly,
says the Note, ".Applying this per
;ventage .of losses to. the entire Ger-
man .army, including the landwehr•,.
landsturm, new formations and
marines, the deduction is made that.
the total German'leas+es during the

A despatch from Petrograd says:
The Russians on re-entering
Przasnysz after its occupation for
three days by the Germans are de-
ported to have found nearly every
house filled with wounded or sick
German soldiers. In addition there
were Russians who had been pri-
soners for four days. Except for
the small service rendered them by
the inhabitants, these men had vir-
tually
irtually been without care.
Hundreds of men had died from
lack of medical. services, and their
bodies lay unburied. The streets
were barricaded with agricultural
implements and household ,furniture
and there was a great scarcity of
provisions. Scores of houses had
been giddied by shells, and the
municipal*building was party desk

Many prisoners. are being brought
back to Przasnysz, having been cap:-

QUEEN ELIZABETH WillCH BOMBARDED DARDANELLES.
POUNDI\G
AT THE FORTS
Progress of Combined Meets Against the
danelles Forts
A despatch from Constantinople
by way or Berlin and Amsterdam
contains the first admission from
that source that the Anglo-French
fleet bas had any success. It says:
"The British battleships com-
pletely outranged the forts, the
guns of which were unable to reply
effectively, so that the battleships
gained part of the desired effect.
Moreover the fleet has received re-
inforcements and now more than
forty big battleships are lying off
the Dardanelles, besides a. great
number of small eruieers, torpedo
boats, destroyers and other craft.
"The further advance of the fleet
seems to bempossible owing to the
chain of mines and the forts. An
Dar.
attack from land would be welcomed'
by the Turks, who have gathered a
strong army composed of their best
troops."
A despatch from ,Munich says that
Field Marshal Baron von Dor Goltz,
who was sent to Constantinople
from Germany to act as the adviser
of the Turkish Government in mill -
tare affairs, has telegraphed to the
German military headquarters ask-
ing for fifty German .artillery offi-
cers, on the ground tbat,they were
needed urgently far the defence of
the Dardanelles, The field marshal
received a laconic reply, the des-
patch says, stating that the Ger-
mans needed their artillery officers
and adding: "Do your beat."
German Crown Prince
Said to be in Disgrace.
A despatch from London says:
Speculation as to the long absence
of Crown Prince Frederick William
from the German" reports has re-
sulted in numerous rumors. The
DailyExpress,
E pr s, which a, year ago
told a, story' of„a quarrel between
the Kaiser and his son, prints a
Geneva despatch ascribing to'an
Innsbruck source the definite
statement that the Prince is in dis-
grace and is living in Berlin in se -
elusion by order of the Kaiser.
Biggest Proportion
Of Irish in the Arnky.
A despatch from London says:
There are 450.000 wren of Irish birth
or descent in Great Britain who are
of military age and 1;25,000 of them
have already joined the army, ac-
cording to figures prepared by the
secretary of the Irish National
League. This proportion, he as-
serts, is much larger than can be
shown by any other nationality.
If a man didn't make an occa-
sional mistake his friends would
have no kicks coaling.

PRO&RESS OF THE FIIENCII
General Joffre Can Do What Fie Likes With the
Germans in the Argonne
A despatch from Paris says:
Progress by the Freneh troops in
the Champagne district, between
Rheims and the Argonne forest,
which has been noted every day for
more than two weeks, has resulted,
according to the official commu-
nique issued on Wednesday night,
in the occupation o .a large section
of the ground which has been
strongly held by the Germans since
their retreat to the Aisne.
It is believed here that the Ger-
mans are concentrating forces in
Flanders for a new drive at the
Channel ports, notably Calais. This
belief is based on •a despatch front
London saying that the Gefntan
commanders have received orders
to step all traffic on roads leading
from the interior to Belgium to
West Flanders in order to prevent
the leaking out of news regarding
the movement of troops.
The following supplementary b 1-
cial statement was issued irate on
1C'ednesday night by the French'
War Office:
"It can be stated that in the, Are
gonne, where we had been eonstant-
ly attacked since December, the
roles in the last three weeks have
been reversed. To -day we have
gained the undisputable ascenden-
cy. These local actions, of which
the Argonne is the theatre, show
that more and more the enemy is at
our mercy and that our moral su-
periority is aesured.
"We have obtained this result by,
a series of limited operations ene.r
getically carried out, and although
the German forces • whiCh eanfroizt
us are extremely courageous, woe
feel that at a, given point and mmo-i
anent we are masters and can do,
what we wish."
The statement gives the details of
one of these engagements, which,'
it says, occur daily and slow the
splendid ardor of the troops, -
