The -police, who assnmed charge of the funeral ar- rangements, secured the boats and took them to the home of the deceas- ed. The boat conveying the casket was rowed through the streets till higher ground was reached by the of- ficers, and was followed by ten boats containing the mourners. ITALY ASKS RESERVE OF 200,000 FROM HER WESTERN AWS Believes Enemy is Preparing to Direct Its Chief Concerted -Action . Against Her. A- despatch from Roln-e says: The possibility that the enemy will direct its chief blow against Italy continues to bethe principal object of discus- sion In the Italian press. The Tribune contains a long article by its editor, who argues that the allies must be prepared to support Italy with a re- serve army should the Germans join with the Austrians in an offensive on a grand scale. He urges that a Com- plete organization should be establish- ed by which a strategic reserve from the western allies of ten or twenty 7�'aveatnnn ..r divisions, with •transport, be got ready so that it could be thrown into action at the danger point. He seems to doubt whether the danger of a gen- eral attack :on the Italian front has been realized by Italy's allies, but it is not clear -why he should. Sir Wil- liam Robertson's visit to Italy should. remove this. It may probably be tak- en for granted if Gen Cadorna thinks he may require help he has already asked for it. There is no disposition on the part of the allied commands to minimize the importance of the Ital- ian front.;,. ifERE,CoME.S FRANK AND HE OWt2S M. rrtt BUCKS Too To 1 -11M - F L.Le) 13 r5E'l 40 Winnipeg' Grain Winnipeg, April 3 -Casty . prices 'Wheat—No. 1 Northern, 51_918; No, 2, do., 31.875; ' No. 3, do., 51.818; No, 4, 51.728; No, 6, 51.523; No: 6. 51.215; feed, 31.028.

The battle took place near the hstoric city of Gaza. Heavy casualties were in- flicted on the enemy. Gaza is. 20 miles north of the Egyptian -Syrian bcundary and about 48 miles south- west of Jerusalem. "The New Crusade." The newspapers, comment en- thusiastically on the British victory, which naturally opens the way for much Biblical and historical reference anis 'comparison. "The New Crusade" 'and "Fight for. the •Holy -Land" are 'among the headlines, Jerusalem is as- sumed in some quarters to be the im- mediate objective of the invaders. Other commentators; however, think the British aim first at . securing the whole coast of Palestine. In any case the newspapers con- sider the blow dealt the Turks near Gaza will seriously cripple the effects of Emperor William's visit to Pales- tine and his entry into Jerusalem 19 years ago. Of this the Times says: "The political dreams which led to. that visit are now in the process of being shattered, The Holy Land, it would seem, is on the eve of being rescued from the regime which oug ten uries as tnr h h t held - it in Lbondage." The, _manner in which the British have pushed railroads across the desert is considered a remarkable abhievement. Apparently hundreds of miles of railroad have been con- structed across the desert since last August. , PREPARE TO ENSLAVE RUMANIAN PEOPLE. r r r-�r, r,.r, r „w.,r. rc,r... u e m.:.r • THAN ON THE RUSSIAN FRONT HALTS "DASH FOR PETROGRAD" In Rumania Stiff Fighting Continues in the Uzul Valley Region --- Germans Capture Ridge.

A despatch from London says: A bill giving the military authorities power to order re-examination of men previously rejected for military ser- vice and also of men who already have served and been discharged in conse quence of wounds or illness, was moved in the House of Commons on. Thursday on second reading, by Chan- cellor Bonar Law. The Chancellor said the bill was an absolute neces- sity owing to the military situation. Arrangements were made Iast August which it was hoped would give' the military authorities the men. required, but owing to the submarine menace it had,,proved impossible to obtain the men expected from " agri- culture or from the Admiralty and the shipbuilding yards. The `recruits ob- tained, he said, had fallen short of the number estimated by not less than 100,000• In view of the definite arrange- ments made, not only by the British Commander -in -Chief. but in. coniunc- tion with the French,'the Chancellor continued, such a falling` off was most serious. To a considerable degree the shortage has been made good by a change in the employment of men in the army itself, and by using behind the lines, toa greater extent than ever before, men unfit to go on the firing line. The shortage has been. made good further' by employment of women behand the lines, but never- theless the bill was absolutely neces- sary. The C Shan ce 1 ford s a•lit w out dn e able the military authorities to deal with 1,000,000 men, and they estimated that at least 100,000 men would` be avail- able within the next three months. They were proceeding on the principle that every fit man should go on the firing line. GRANTED PERMISSION TO LIVE IN CRIMEA. M A.
