The War Summary
The new Germ' submarine ipoliey
is :reaping some harvest in the 'lum-
ber of vessels being sunk. They are
nearly all small craft, however, ex-
cepting the big French troop ship,
Pxovence, which went down with over
3000 souls. This is the greatest
c mar -
in
t iri history. When it is
considered that there have been mill -
Leos of troops taken over the various
waters it is surprising that the losses
have not been much greater.
The great battle at Verdun still
rages and the gain to the Germans
who are attackhig is only a few hun-
dred feet o1 territory, and a few vrl-
lages, but ata loss of life out of all
Proportion., It ;is 'believed that over
50,000 Germans were killed and three
times that number wounded, French
losses are only one-fifth of the en-
emy losses,
Preparations are being made by,the
Germans :to attack the British lines
along the western front, in great
force, and they will undoubtedly find
the lines there as well defended as
at Verdun.
in the Balkans the .armies seem to
be at a standstill. We hear little of
Salonica these days, Spring will pro-
bably see the campaign re -open in this
theatre.
The Russians are having uninterrupt
success in their campaign in Armenia
capturing city after city and wreck-
big. a terrible vengeance on the Turks
for their massacres of the Armenians.
Farther south in Mesopotamia the
Russians and British are coming to
getter with the Turk in between
and we may look for a notable vic-
tory in this quarter soon, At any
rate, all danger of successful cam-
paign. against Egypt has passed.
Persistent rumors are afloat that the
Germany navy is about to come out of
the Bole—;probably due to the lucky
chance by which the ,Woev'e got out
card sank a few ships and returned to
her home eport. It is doubtful if
this feat can +be.re,pleated.
German Zepps are still proud of
the tact that they axe abln to raid
the English towns and kill a few help-
less women arced children.
Canadian 'recruiting still progresses
et a rapid rate all over the country.

WHO STARTED THIS WAR, -
ANYWAY? - -
Berlin, Mar. 8.—(Special,)—The Ger-
man Crown Prince .last evening was
having a nice little .chat with his
father, the Butcher of Pots'dain and.
apropos of northing said •
"Father,- who started this war ?"
"I know," !sand his father, playfully,
"but I won't tail."
"Did Cousin George start it? per-
sisted the youth without a chin.
"No !" said father.
"Did , Cousin Nicholas ?" '
"No !" said Papa.;
"Did Francis -Joseph ?"
"No !" said the, Old Man
"Well, who did, then?"
`sI'll tell you soul! You remember
Teddy Roosevelt canoe out of Central
Africa and called on us several years
ago, and I showed ham our magnifi-
cent army; I showed hien our great
and glorious navy; I showed him, the
Zepps and the submarines and, the gas
bags, and Teddy, greatly impressled,
slapped me on the back and said:
Bill, my boy, you can lick 'the
world—and, lake a d-- fool, is be-
lieved him." •
