Of 29o,eoo Who Have .Joined the Colors 43, to Are

A despatch from Ottawa stays: Case
unities of every :. description among
the. Canadian forces since the oat -
break of war total : 22,000, and the
wastage evert from . casualties has
been 91,700. This makes.. a total of
43,700 men, out of 290,000 who have]
joined the colors to date, who cannot
now be numbered hi the effective'
fighting force. The 'Canadian army
actually under arms at the present
time is therefore about 246,000 men.
or thee 112,000 are overseas, either
in Great Britain or at the front, while
in training in Canada there are ap-
proximately 134,000, counting those
on guard duty, on Headquarters staff.
Thee were among the interesting
fart', given to the Commons Thurs-
day by Sir Robert Borden in reply to
a series of questions by Hon. Charles
Marcia. In regard to Mr. Marcil's `•.
question as to whether the Govern-
meat• had derided to enlist 500,000
("au adians for overseas service, after
cree siting the British authorities, the',
Prime Minister said that the Govern-
ment etwaye, took pains to ascertain
the views of the Imperial authorities,
pareletai a:ly the War Offiee, with re-
gard .o the: e matters before coming
-to any decision. Nothing had hap-
pened since that decision, he added,
to induce the Government to change
its mind as to the number to be en-
listed,
With regard to the question as to
how long it took the Canadian troops
to be ready for the fronts from the
date of enlistment, the Premier said
that the period varied. Six months
might be taken as a minimum for in-
fantry, but other arms of the service
required a longer period before they ,
were ready to go to the front.
The total expenditure by Canada
for war purposes up to the end of
February, Sir Robert said, has aggre-
gated $187,000.000, nob taking into
account the millions of dollars which
Great Britain has spent on behalf of
Canada for munitions of various
kinds supplied to the Canadian forces
at the front through the War Office.
The accounting for these will not be
made until the war is over.
In reply to Mr. Boulay, the Pre-
mier said that the members of the
Military Hospitals Commission served
without salary, but that they were al-
lowed $10 per day and railway fare
while engaged on the business of the
Commission.

PIECES!
Have Terrific Effect on Foe
Trenches.
A despatch from British Head-
quarters says: German prisoners
captured near St. Eloi on Saturday
last after we wrecked their trenches!
by a series of mine explosions, pared- I
ed to -day before being taken down to
the base. These men were lucky in'
;their escape from death. The ex -1
plosion of our mines was so terrific
that it shook the ground six miles
'away and its effect upon the German
trenches was volcanic. Tons of earth:
were flung up hundreds of feet high,
carrying away trenches, dugouts and
sandbags.
A Jaeger regiment which was hold-
ing this part of the line suffered
heavy losses. A captured officer says
that two companies of his battalion
were blown to pieces. The earth
was so disrupted that the communi-:
cation trenches were choked up and
there was no possibility of escape for
the men who remained alive in the
first and second lines of this ector,
nor for any supports to be sent up to
prevent the occupation of the craters
and trenches by the British, who still
hold this ground. The Germans sur-
vivors were caught in :the trap, and:
in a dazed condition were taken pris-
oners easily enough. The exact num- t
ber of them is still uncertain, as men
are still being brought down but the
number is about 200 with several of-
ficers.

I A despatch from Athens says : "I
do not believe the Austro -Germans
seriously intend attacking Saloniea,"
said an Entente general to the As-
ociated Press correspondent on Fri-
day. "They have an excellent intel-
ligence service in Macedonia and are;
fully aware of the great strength of
our positions. I do not think they will;
throw away men needlessly hi trying
to take it, especially after the Verdun i
experience. In respect to a possible j
offensive by 'the Entente allies it is,'
impossible to say anything. I be-
lieve Salonica to be absolutely am-'
pregnable."

CUSTOMS RECEIPTS '
SHOW BIG INCREASE.
Department Returns Place Figures
at $`25,000,000 Over Last
Year.
A despatch from Ottawa Says: A
twenty-five million dollar increase in
customs receipts during the fiscal
year, which ended March 31, is shown
by figures issued by the Customs De-
partment. The total receipts for the
twelve months were 3102,609,621, as
compared with 378,26'2,535, or an
increase of $24,347,085 for the year.
The March statement itself shows
an increase of 33,307,109. The total
receipts during the month were 310,-
663,234,
10;
663,234, as compared with 37,356,1.25
during the same month last year. Re-
turns from the Finance Department
confirm the statement made some
days ago, that the total revenue re-
ceipts for the fiscal year will exceed
Sir Thomas White's estimate by from
three to four million dollars.
The total revenue, including that
from the war taxation, will be in the
neighborhood of $175,000,000.
WOMEN WORK ON DOCKS

A. despatch from Liverpool says :
Women are now being employed at
the Liverpool docks, handling cotton;
imports and other bagged goods. At
the Leyland Line docks nearly 100,
women. are now working. Fears were
entertained that the Dockers' Union
would raise difficulties, but these have
been smoothed over and the women
are receiving the same rate of pay as
the n•ien.
BIG RUSSIAN VICTORY:
TRADES FOR THE CRIPPLES OF
GERMANY.
Many Different Kinds of Artificial
Limbs Are Being
Provided.
An account of how Germany is seriv-
ink: to patch up soldier victims of the
Kaiser's war lust is contained in a
special Berlin letter from Mary Etbe
el M'Auley to the Pittsburg "WO -
patch."
Even now, with the war only a
of the "war -wrecks.," even though
".made in Germany," might be com-
mended to the attention of the Bri-
tish authorities when grappling with
this difficult problem.
The word "cripple" is a word that
hurts, she writes, and in Germany
when the people speak of the men
who have lost arms, legs, or eyes,
they say "Kriegsbeschadigte," which
has a softer sound, and means hurt
I or damaged by war.
I Even now, with are war only a
year and a half old, many plans have
been ctarried out for these unfortun-
' ate nien, and many other plans are
being made. Skilful doctors and arti-
ficial limb makers are contriving all
• sorts of ways to make various kinds
of arms and legs that are suited for
' all kinds of work that the crippiedw .
men may wish to do.
A. man who wishes to be a carper',
ter, fur instance, must have a differ-
ent kind of a hook on his new arm
to the man who wishes to be a black-
smith,
Experiments.
All this means an enormous amount
of experimenting, for there are so
many hundreds of trades in the world,
and the crippled man wishes, if pos-
sible, to follow, the same trade'he had
before the war. -Of course, in many
cases it is not possible to do this, and
for these cases there have been map-
ped out fifty-one new trades `which are
• easily carried on by igen without
arms or legs. The Government also
has schools where these trades can be
learned without charge. These are
not merely oceupaatiaiis for the labor
; ing man, but also for the mean of
education, and a man may -study art,
music and literature there.
! Most of - the crippled men do not
! return to war, but settle down to
, peaceful labors. One soldier, a she
maker by trade, found that he coulc
make just as good shoes with one
leg as with two. Another case was
that of a soldier who had lost both
his legs at Liege. He was an engi-
neer by trade, and now he is run-
: ning the fast train between Cologne
and Brussels. A tailor had both his
I legs cut off. The new feet that were
;made for him were very large, and
now he can treadle his sewing ma-
chine as well as before.
The loss of aiz arm is much more
serious than the loss of a leg, and
all sorts of hooks and stress must
be provided so that the men can do
more than one thing. In the sad
cases of both arms being gone, im-
plements have been invented for
holding spoons, knives, forks, cigars,
cups, and, indeed, everything, se that
the man will not be helpless.
Homes For Cripples.
Every province in Germany, contin-
ues the writer, now issues each week
a little pamphlet to help the crippled
men. These pamphlets telt them of
trades they can pursue, of things they
can make if they prefer to stay at
home, and where they can sell what

TERRIBLE TURK LOSSES
Desperate Enemy Counter -Attacks in;
the Caucasus Region
A despatch from Petrograd says:!
Virednesday's official statement says:
"In the Caucasus, on the coast sec-'
tor, our detachments which had oc-1
cupied the heights on the left bank
of the River Oghen Dere sustained,
during Monday night a series of des-
perate enemy counter-attacks. All j
of them were repulsed, and the Turks, i
having suffered terrible losses, beat a;
retreat., leaving behind prisoners and f
a gun. We also took prisoners in the'
direction of Erzendjan,"

SOLDIER SETTLERS
The Kaiser and Kaiserin are going
to build a home for blind soldiers,
where they will not only be cared
for, but taught occupations as well.
The German Government has also
drawn up plans to build houses for
the men. Sites have already been
selected and plans completed. The
houses are to be built near factories
in which work will be carried on that
a crippled man can do.
Some of the homes are single
SALONICA DEFENCES.? OFFERED FREE LAND houses, little cottages effects with a

Then there will be a number of
larger apartment houses, ancl, last of
all, there will be one very large house
in each community, like a hotel,
where the unmarried men can live
and be cared for.
The rental of these houses is to
be almost astonishing low. For in-
stance, a room for the bachelor in then,,,,
large house will cost from 325 to $bb''`✓
a year, and this includes light anil'�
heat, and in some cases furniture.
An apartment of three or four rooms
and bath in the large apartment house
will cost • from $75 to 3100 per year,
with light and heat. The single
