A German fleet during the past week left the Kiel Canal for a short cruise in the North Sea. A hasty re- treat was made, however, before ally engagement with British warships took place. It appears that during the r Bent Zeppelin raid on England several German' cruisers left the canal intending to make a raid on the Britieh coast. They discovered, however, that the .preparations and watch of the British Fleet were greater than they had haunted upon, with the. result that the enemy warships were turned hassle. A sensation in Great Britain was the attack on the policy of Mr. Balfour by Colonel Churchill, his prede- ccsscr as British Lord of the Admiralty. Mr..Balfour replied in as vigorous a speech as that of his critic. • t • Ontario P,xcCc.. Oshawa, Cobo.' Utilities Cor._aa C y Gas Co, STATION 1B3S AGAIN 730M B#tDED I ~on.

There have been killed in action 2,338 Canadians. Some `988 have died of wounds and 298 have succumbed to sickness, or a total of known dead of 3,624. There is be- sides, however, a list of missing men not known to be prisoners -of -war, of 1,012. It is practically certain that by far the greater number of these men are dead, which swells the list of Canadian dead to almost 5,000. The total number of wounded is 9,325. If prisoners -of -war and cases of sickness are all included the total number of casualties would be nearer 25,000 men. w orm 3 Created The Sun Lige of C na a ROGRESSIVE buwh ±ess methods, backed by forty- five five. years of fair -dealing, have achieved for the Sun Life of Canada during 1915 records that are new in the Canadian life assurance field.
