A despatch from Berlin says: Em- peror William on his recent visit to the troops on the Somme front in France made the following speech, ac- cording to the correspondent of the Tagebiatt: "Comrades, following an impulse of the heart, I have hurried to you from the east front to bring you the greet- ings of ,your comrades there and the thanks of the Fatherland for the .four months' hard struggles on the Somme, and for the heroic manner in which you have fought. The world's history knows no parallel for the struggles in which you are participating, and for the greatness of your deeds.

A despatch from London says: - The . Germans made four . violent and successive counter-attacks on Thurs- day in a vain effort to re -win the Dos- aumont positions and remove the French menace to Fort Vaux, which is now only five hundred yards 'from Gen- eral Nivelle's lines, and is expected to fall before the next French rush. The total number of prisoners taken by General Nivelle is now 5,000, in addi- tion to several hundred wounded Ger- mans picked up by French ambulances. . The recent assertions of French and British military experts that Hinden- burg no longer has an adequate re- serve seems to be borne out by the slow reaction of the Germans at Ver- dun, and their apparent lack of strength indicates that the high eom- mand has been forded to draw upon other sectors for the men who were hurled forward in Thursday's assaults.

The history of the Domin- ion, he said, showed that what mis- takes have had to be rectified have been due to short vision,.and that the deeds most criticized had been of over -anticipation. As between those two Canada would after the war. steer a middle course of steady develop- ment. "Canada is an Empire in itself," continued Baron Shaughnessy. "Its population is not a fraction of what it should be, of what it is capable of becoming, or what it will be after the war. We are now taking steps to pre- pare for the future, and are anticip- ating an immigration that should be unprecedented in Canadian history."

A young man was about to leave his home in Erin's isle for a trip around the world, whereat his mother was greatly troubled.

Churchill, when lie is in good' form, can be very animated, but at times he is preoccupied and;_ gloomy. Mr. Lloyd George, on the other hand, is always animated and animating. Mr, Churchill is apt to miss his sleep too much and too often, while the other has the enviable knack of be- ing able to go off to sleep at any mo- ment and anywhere he wants. Mr, Lloyd George cares nothing whatever for the pleasures of the table. He likes the very simplest kind of food, and cares not at all for wine, drinking very little and that little only for the sake of good fellowship. His one extravagant taste is a liking for a good cigar. Mr. Churchill, on the con- trary, is an epicure who appreciates •.-a►, the best of food and cooking, and likes a dinner of many courses. He is also a connoiseur of wines. He is blessed with a remarkably healthy ap- petite.

In a recent lecture before the Royal Geographical Society, . Mr. C. M. Woodford, former British resident commissioner of the Solomon Islands, described two islands thatare seldom! visited 'by white men. They are Ren- iell and Bellona islands, which were discovered at the beginning of the last century. Steamers from Sydney tet the Solomons pass close to them, and sometimes between them, but trading vessels do not stop there, for the an- chorage is poor. The natives, there- fore, having nothing to sell,.have been left to themselves, with the re- sult that, although natives of islanceiii- only a hundred miles away have ad- vanced to the stage of sewing ma- chines, gramophones andother arti- cies of modern- civilization, the natives of Rennell and Bellon.e, when • Mr. Woodford visited them a few years ago, were eager for scrap iron of every sort, old nails, and especially fishhooks; and so little was known about the islands that even the na- tive names for them had not been accurately determined. Immigration into the Pacific islands from Asia, far from having ceased, is at present go- ing on at a rate probably greater than during the old ,Polynesian migrations. Mr. Woodford predicts that at no very distant date the whole of the Melane- sian and Polynesian populations of the Pacific will be absorbed and merg- erin a race composed largely of Chinese and Japanese.
