Gault, of Princess Pa. -1 kricia'a Canadian Light Infantry, has been decorated with the Distin- g'uished • Service Order, and that i Lieut. W. G. Colquhoun and Lieut. Papineau, of the same infantry, , have been decorated with the Mili- I tory Cross. The decorations are for conspic.tious bravery.. Lieut, Papineau was 1n charge of the first party of the detachment led by Lieut. Cra•bbe at St. Eloi, which exploit seas mentioned in Sir John French's despatch published recently. The two other parties were led by Sergeant Patterson and Company Sergeant - Major Lloyd, According to the official record, Major Gault is honored "for con- spicuous gallantry at St. Eloi on February 27 in reconnoitring quite close to the enemy's position and obtaining information of great value for the attack carried out the • next day. 'On February 28 Major Gault, assisted in the rescue of wounded under most difficult cir- cusriistances while exposed to heavy fire." Lieut. Colquhoun is decorated "for conspicuous gallantry and re- source on numerous oeessaons, spe- cially at St. Mei on January 26, when he rescued with the assistance of One man a mortally wounded officer after three others had failed in the attempt, being under vary heavy close range fire the whole time. Again en February 27 at St. Eloi rendered valuable assistance on reconnoitring duty under very difficult and dangerous circum- stanoes." Lieut.

ZEP1'ELI S MAKE ANOTHER RAID Dropped Many Bombs in Norfolk and Suffolk Counties, Slightly injuring One Woman A despatch from London says: Two Zeppelin airships visited the east coast •of England shortly after midnight Thursday, dropping bombs on several towns, doing con- siderable damage to property. As far as has been ascertained, only one person, a woman, was inured. It is said she was only slightly hurt. The airship dropped 12 bombs on Malden. in Essex County, 30 miles north-east of London, but only one building, a workshop in London Road, was damaged. Bombs were also dropped in the Heybridge Ba- sin, 2 miles across the river. These set fire to some buildings. The air-. ships came up the Blackwater River and over the Marshes and circled around. :At Lowestoft, on the North Sea, in Suffolk County, three bombs were dropped, considerable damage to house property in the centre of the town resulting. A lumber yard also was set on fire. The win- dow panes in many houses were shattered. Three horses belonging to the railway company were killed. After leaving Lowestoft the air- craft passed over Harwich in the direction of Felixstowe. Previously the aircraft had visit- ed Southwold, 12 miles south of Lowestoft, and having missed strik- ing that town with its missiles, went on, to Halesworeh, 8 miles in- land. It then returned again to Southwold and dropped six bombs. COLORS FLYING, CORNS TRAINED Why the British Cruiser Glasgow Sank the Dresden in the Chilean Harbor. A despatch from London says: The British Government has offered ".a full and ample apology" to the Chilean Government for the sinking on March 14 in Chilean territorial waters of the German cruiser Dres- den. the internment of which had already been ordered by the Mari- time Governor of Cumberland Bay when the British squadron attacked and sank her. This fact was. made public in a White Paper, giving the texts of the Chilean mote protesting against the sinking of the Dresden and the British Government's reply. The note delivered by the Chilean Minister to Great Britain says that the Dresden anchored in Cumber - And Bay (Juan Fernandez Island) Idarch 0 and asked permission to remain eight days for the purpose of repairing her engines, which wero said to be out of order. The Governor refused the request, as he considered it unfounded, and ordet'ed the captain to leave the bay within 24 hours. As the order was not complied with. the captain of the Dresden was informed that his ship was in- terued. When the British squadron ap- peared on March 14, the ships open- ed fire on the Dresden, on which a flag of truce had been. hoisted, and called on her captain tot sure re•nder. The captain then gave or- ders to b'.ow up the m+aga.zi.rue of the Dresden. It is pointed out that according to the 73ritish information the Dres- den "had not accepted internmein+t and still had her colors flying and guns trained.,, The British reply continues: "If this is so, and if there were no means available for enforcing tit° decision of the Chilean authorities to intern the Dresden, ebte might obviously, bad not the British fillips taken action, have escaped, again to attack British commerce." It is ,added : "The captain of the Glasgow probably assumed, espe- cially in view of the past action of the Dresden, that she was defying the Chilean authorities and abus- ing Chilean neutrality and was only waiting for a favorable oppor- tunity to sally out and attack Brit- ish commerce again. Lonesomest Tommy Gets 3,000 Letters A despatch from London says: Rifleman A. C. White, who was de- scribed by a sentimrenal fellow - soldier in a letter to a London pa- per as the lonesomest man in the British army, has beoome the bane of the British army postal service. White was lying in a hospital near the front, with no one to write to him or to send him presents. But after the pathetic description ap- peaned, an extra force of men had to be employed. to 'handle and carry his mail. His letters have .now passed the 3,000 mark, and his par- cels are numbered by the hundreds. Every mail White has a bigger bag than many companies. French Aeroplane Victor in Long Chase, A despatch from Bordeaux says t The tale of an exciting chase in the air and a battle a at an altitude of over 8,000 feet between a Frent9h aeroplane and a German albatross machine, in which the French avia- tor wasvictorious, was related by Lieut. Chambre, the observer on the French machine. The .pursuit began at Rheims, ac- cording 'bo Trteut. Chassabre, and lasted until the air orait reached Chalons, an approximate distance of 25 miles, The German used over 100 quick firer cartridges without doing further dazn,aga than to pierce the 'wins of the French ma- dMne, The eleventh allot fired by e French avlatare ennead the erreernen aeroplane to fall and on revealing the ground it can lit fire, The German 'officers elle aa. injury and were taken prisoner, RECORD OF PIRATES' CAMPAIGN Over i,000,000 Men Transported by Water- u,000 Ships grave Arrived or Sailed, With Loss of 40 A despatch from London trays: Great pride is taia`en ,in the record during the eleven weeks 9inee the German submarine terrorists cam- paign starbed, The Admiralty transported more than one million men by water.

AIRMEN RAID RHINE CITIES Bombs 'Were Dropped ou a Shell Factory in the Suburbs of Baden. A despatch fronn Paris says : Allied aviators have been very ac- tive on the western front. A squadron flew over the Rhine and dropped bombs on workshops in the suburbs of Baden which were being utilized for the manufacture of shells. Ten bombs were also drop- ped on the powder factory at Rott- well in Wuerttemburg, six striking the mark, and as a huge red flame shot up surrounded by dense smoke it is believed that the magazine was destroyed. Another airship squadron dropped twenty beaks, the majority of which struck their mark, on the electric station ten miles north of Metz which supplies the town and forts of Metz with power and light. The aviators re- port that much smoke arose from the central station. On the return journey the allied airships encoun- tered three hostile aviators, to whom they gave chase, forcing them to land. Although subjected to a heavy cannonade from the Metz forts, the allied squadron suffered no mis- haps. The aeroplanes which visit- ed Baden were struck by shell splinters, but returned safely to the lines. Tried to Wreck Cathedral. Several bombe have bean drop- ped by a German Taube aeroplane in the vicinity of the, cathedral at Amiens. Ten perilous were killed or wounded. The material damage done was slight. There are a. num- ber of Canadians in the Amiens Hospital. The enemy continues to launch counter-attacks at Les Eparges, but without ,success, while at Bois de Montmartre three German bat- teries were silenced a.nd an, ammu- nition depot blown up. UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL SUP- PLIES. The various committees in charge of supplies report ,satisfactory pro- gress. A sheet shower was held on, Wed- nesday last in the Physios Building, which resulted in an addition to our store, .amounting to about seven- teen ' ahtirndred 'sheets. In addition to this, the necessary quaota of the fallowing artioles has been reach- ed -Surgeons' gowns and masks, nurses' caps, covers for hot water bottles and pneumonia jackets. In spite of efforts, however, the number of articles required is still great. In the first place, ten thousand sheets are Estill needed, and this is an urgent necessity not to be denied. Next to sheets the most pressing needs are pajamas, of which nearly two thousand suits are required, and 'surgical night- shirts. Also let us not forget the need for socks. Each letter from the front. emphasizes the urgency of the demand for them. The writer will be glad of contri- butions to the wool fund, of offers tom women who are wilding to from if wool is sent to them, as well ae of contributions of socks.

A ' despatch from Paris says : French troops have made notable advances at widely-aeparated points of the battle line, one in the region of Arras after a hotly-oop- testfight, and another in Alsace, where a gain of nearly a mile Was made. In the fighting on the nor- thern part of the line the French drove the Germans at the bayonet's point from the hill east of Notre Dame de Lorette, continuing the drive toward Lens and Bonar. un - taken last month. A notable feature of the opera- tion's was the bombardment by French aviators of several towns occupied by the Germans. One aviator flew over the German lines at the centre of the line and hurled five bombs on the buildings occu- pied by the Imperial general staff at Oharleville and Mezieree. These towns where for the first time the headquarters of the German great general staff has been definitely lo- cated, are adjoining fortified towas on the Meuse, in the Depart- ment of Ardennes, about 15 miles below Sedan. This position • is some ten miles south of the Franco- Belgian frontier and 35. mules north of the German battle line in the Argonne. All the projectiles hit the buildings housing the general staff, according to the official re- port, which states that the aircraft visit was in the nature of a repris- al for the bombardment of Nancy by• a Zeppelin. It is also announced that a squad- ron of 15 aeroplanes threw bombs successfully on the military build- ings of the Germans at Ostend. The machines were subjected to a violent cannonading, but all re- turned intact. At Les Eparges the Germans de- livered three counter-attacks in an attempt to retake the eastern salient. He was repulsed with heavy losses. German artillery stationed near Bethune, France, is reported to have shelled a Belgian ambulance, killing three wounded Belgians and six wounded German prisoners. Plans Hero Colony For Maimed Germans A despatch from London says: Dr. von Be7tahmamn-Hdllweg, Im- perial German Chancellor, is con- sidering the feasibility of a. sugges- tion for the establishment of a "hero colony" near the famous old Pforta School in South Prussia., of which he is an alumnus, where thoseu maimed and crippled in the war may take up their life after it is over. The -originator of the idea is Paul Karsten, head of a big fac- tory in Bad Koe,sen. He believes that there will be thousands of noble and patriotic girls and widows of soldiers who, when peace is con- cluded, will be glad to ,marry the men who have been injured and who otherwise would gravitate into soldiers' ,homes. To prevent this is one of the principal objects of the proposed plan. Kersten feels that soldiers in such a situation soon come to feel that they ars use- less and in the way, whereas they can continue a useful and happy existence if they have their own homes and wives to help came for them. Kersten believes that the loss of an eye or a leg is not s, de- fect that in any wary affects future generations, If injured soldiers can marry and live in colonies in- stead of in .homers by themselves, he thinks that the birthrate will have some of the inereaee that is to be n+eoesswry atter the war. 4, British Prisoner Gets Another Trial A Copenhagen despatch to the London Daily Mail says it is an- nounced in Berlin that the British prisoner, William Lonsflaile, has been granted another appeal. The case will come before the supreme military court on April 27. Lonsdale, who made =attack on a Germain non-commissioned officer at the military prison at Doeberitz, was onoe sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted to 20 years' imprisonment, after the American Ambassador at Berlin and the Anzeriean Minister at The Hague had interested themsetives in the case at the request of the Lord Mayor of Leecls. 4 Hungary Clamoring For an Early Peace A Budapest rrefaeatoh says: "The desire for peace as the overwhelm- ing sentiment noticeable through- out Heingary in the past few days. 111:few absorbed the people acre taus idea can be teen at a glance in the newapeepers,. which, tin alar�nosit every issue oonta3n prom,inoett allrltsione, gditorials ami expressions of opin- ton along this line.

GILLETT COMPANY LIMITED WINNIPEG TORONTO, ONT. MONTREAL ORDERS WERE POT OBEYED Heavy Losses at Neuve Chapelle Accounted for in Sir John French's Report A despatch from London says: The report of Field Marshal Sir John French, reviewing the Neuve Chapelle battle, has been eagerly awaited. For some days rumors ascribing the heavy British losses (12,811) to some extent to British artillery and to a mistake of a Bri- tish commander have found their way into print. In his introductory remarks the British commander specifically states that "considerable delay oc- curred after the capture of Neuve Chapelle. The infantry was dis- organized by the violent nature of the attacks." Further in the despatch. he says: "I am of the opinion, that this de- lay. would not have occurred had the clearly expressed order of the commander of the first army been more carefully ,observed." Field Marshal Fren• th fails to re- veal the name of the officer wham he so sharply blames for the delay whicsh robbed the British of the full fruits of their victory at Neuve Chapelle. Field Marshal French reports the British losses in the three days' fighting at Neuve Chapelle as fol- lows : Other Officers. Ranks. Total. Killed 190 2,337 2,527 Wounded . 359 8,174 8,543 Missing . 23 1,728 1,751 Total . ,572 12,239 12,811 Field Marshal Feeneh's report continues : "The enemy left several thousand dead on the field, and we have positive information that up- wards of 12,000 wounded were re- moved by train. Thirty officersand 1,857 of other ranks were captur- ed." SEPARATED FROM MOTHERS Hundreds of Infants Sent Back to Switzerland Cannot be Identified A despatch from Paris says : William T, P. Hollingsworth has returned from Schaffhausen and Zurich, where he investigated the conditions of returning civilian prisoners on behalf of the American Clearing House for Relief. Germany has already sent back 30,000 of these civilian prisoners, stating that between 150,000 and 200,000 are yet to be retutrned. Two trains are arriving in Switzerland from Germany daily, each carrying 500 of the returning prisoners. Three-fourths of these are women and girls. No boys over 13 years of age are being sent back. The most extraordinary point in Mr. Hol1•ingsworth's report is that the trains bring 100 babies, a week old and upwards, daily. These are unolothed, but are wrapped in fragments. of skirts and shawls. There is no means of tracing their identity, Mothers 1'eturning with their children Saye they reoeifed no medical attention at childbirth. Swiss women are supplying babies' clothing at the railway :stations, for the unfortunates. Many of the older children who !hare arrived also cannot be identified. NEUTRAL VESSEL SUNK AT ANCHOR Pirates Submarine Steamer Char- • tered by the Dutch Government. A despatch from London says: The Netherlands steamer Katwyk, from Baltimore to Rotterdam, was torpedoed while anchored seven miles to the west of the North Hin- der Lightship in the North Sea. The crew of 23 men were saved and taken aboard the lightship. A despatch to Reuter's from Flushing reports the arrival there of the crew of the Katwyk. The men say that while the night watch was being changed a severe shock was felt and the ship began to bake in water. .Aa the steamer was sink- ing the crew took to the ,boats, and while rowing away saw 'the peri- scope of a. submarine, which quick- ly disappeared. 'Ilhe Katwyk sank fifteen minutes after the explosion. She was a freight steameR'. Built in 1903, she was 1,287 next tone, and 218 feet long. She sailed from Baltimore Maroh 26 for Rotterdam, and pass- ed Dover April 14. 4 To he Made Prisoners On Entering Canada A despatch from Seattle, Wash., says: American steamship com- panies operating between Seattle and Alaska ports and Seattle and San Francisco were notified by the British Admiralty that all German, Austrian, or Turkish passengers or members of the crews would be re- moved from sally vessel calling at a Canadian port and held as prison- ers of war. TRIED i0 BU OCKYARDS Fact Only Made Pudlic by the Announcement of a Reward for the Discovery of the Incendiaries despatch from London says : There was a rumor in London that a serious fire had broken out in the big government dockyards at Ports- mUuth l bub the • censor eliiminated all mention of the matter from pre se despetche+s, It now appears that the fire was of e very serious oharaeter, and Dams near wiping out the docks and other valuable properties at Ports maoutb, The deal extent of the dam- age is still unlamown. It is !the com- mon belief in • official circles that the firs wags the work of incendiar- ies presumably German 'spies. A. carefully worded notice was is- sued by the dookyaaard authorities, offering a reward of $500 "for the discovery of the incendiaries re- sponsible icor the fire at the .build- ing slip sheds the night of January 81."
