A despatch from Toronto says: Fish
has become so popular an article of
diet in Ontario that it is to receive
immediate Government recognition,
and the nationalization of the finny
denizens of the,.inland waters is well
under way.
Hon. F. G. Maediarmid, Provincial
Minister of Public Works,' in co-opera-
tion with the Food Controller, has an-
nounced the intention of the Ontario.
Government to develop large` areas of
the reserved waters of Ontario as a
permanent source of fish food supply
for the people of the Province. As a
beginning of this important national
undertaking, lakes like Nipissing and
Nepigon will be immediately develop-
ed. The resources of these important
waters have been ascertained, and
while it is not at present po'ssi'ble - to
state with exactness the quantity. ' of

A despatch from Ottawa says: To-
wards the close of 1916 the capacity
for producing munitions in Great Bri-
tain had so increased that the Minister
of Munitions advised that it was un-
necessary to continue the production
of munitions in the United States for
British account, except for a few spe-
cial •lines. The production in Canada,
however,was continued as before.
The Minister has now advised- that
:it is iinnecessary' to continue produc-
tion in Canada on the- present scale.
He has directed that certain lines
shall be discontinued; that other lines
shall be produced in lessened quanti-
ties, ;while some lines are to be con-
tinued as at present.
The effect of this will be to stop the
production of shells and components
at ,someaplaits which are now produc-
ing sizes no longer required. The other
plants' night work will be discon-
tinued.

Ypres -Mei -tin Road the Scene of
Strenuous Battles,
A despatch. from London says: The
British continue their'methodical
fighting on the Ypres-Menin road.
During the' past 24 hours they have
made gains over their front, varying
in depth from a quarter to half a mile,
notwithstanding the tenacious resist-
ance of the legions of Crown Prince
Rupprecht.
Perry Robinson, telegraphing to the
Times under date of Thursday, re-
fers to the scattered fighting on the
Flanders front as follows: "The most
valuable advance, though not 500
yards in depth, was made in; the des-
perately -contested of Glencorse
'wood and Inverness ' copse where
the strategical value of the high
ground made the determination of
the -Germans evident to hold: it as: long
as possible regardless of expenditure
of life. These two small woods have
seen almost as prolonged severe fight-
ing as Delville wood and High woods
last year. Neither is yet wholly in
our possession."

NEW SWISS -GERMAN
PACT IS ARRANGED
Teutons Seek Loan. From Swiss
In Return For Supply
of Coal.
A despatch from Paris says: A
wireless despatch from Zurich says a
new economic convention between
Switzerland and Germany was con-
cluded and signed on Monday' evening
at Berne.
Recent despatches from European
capitals indicated that a hitch in the
economic relations between, Germany
and. Switzerland had been straighten-
ed
out by Switzerland agreeing to ad-
vance Germany 40,000,000 francs
monthly for nine months at the rate
of 5 p.c. Germany in return was to
supply Switzerland with. 200,000 tons
of coal monthly.
The financial: expert of the Berlin
Tageblatt, referring to this financial,
arrangement, said it was inspired by
the fact that Germany's imports from
Switzerland were so considerable as
to outweigh < the valve of Germany's
coal and iron exports, even at the in-
creased' prices. The writer said Ger-
many also had perfected' a similar
arrangement with other neutrals,
notably Holland.

KORNILOFF `SUCCEEDS
IN DISCIPLINING ARMY.
A despatch from Petrograd says:
Lieut. -Gen. Kornilofr, commander-in-
chief` of the Russian armies, has is-
sued orders for a resumption: of strict
training for all the military forces,
the free time of the soldiers to be
devoted to gymnastics, drills and
games, and "for a cessation of all dis-
cussions. The order contains the state-
ment: "Henceforth the only language
in the army is command." This is
significant in view of the abolition of
the use of the word "command" since
the revolution.

A despatch from London says:

ing is going on a scant 20 'piles east

positions' without offering battle, pre-
viously
villages having destroyed es be -

To the south of Volhynia the Ger-
mans also have delivered attacks
against the Russians for gains of ter-
ritory, but later were dislodged in
counter-attacks. In the 'Rumanian
theatre the Russia -Rumanian troops
have takenthe offensive in various
sectors or repulsed Teutonic allied
counter-attacks. No important;. gains
in this region have been made ,by

On Trieste.
A despatch from London says: On
both the northern and southern ends
of the battle line in the Austro -Italian
theatre the, Italians have pressed for-
ward
their line for considerable new
gains against the • Austrians. The
counter-attacks of the Austrians are
of the most extreme: violence, but
nowhere have they been able to dis-
lodge the Italians, An instance of
this is the holding for three days un-
der most vita counter -strokes of a
strong Austrian position captured
south-east of . Dossofait. More than
16,000 prisoners _already have been
taken'by the Italians.
