WHEN THE PROPER HOUR COMES
But Allies Will Not Take Hasty Iiiiprovised Offensive Doomed

A despatch from Paris
says:-
Marcel Hutin, in the Dello de Paris,
`,.-s writes:
"I am asked on every side whether
an offensive torelieve our troops at
Verdun may not have been expected
on our side,and especially on our al-
lies' side. From what I can learn the
greatest, patience must be observed.
The hour will come when the enemy
will pay dearly for his Verdun mad -

" Our brave
soldiers a

still suffer and withstand for some
time. If the enemy expecte some
hastily improvise& offensive which is
doomed to failure from us or the Brit-
ish or the Russians, he once more,
fails to understand the psychology
that tle war has riponed by the allies'
experience. When everything ` is
ready, with, artillery, munitions and
reserves, we, with our allies, will give
the Crown Prince his answer."

A despatch from London says :--
It has been stated that the German
Government expects a crop in 1916
estimated at 35 per cent. better than
in 1915. The Berliner Neueste Nach-
richten prints a statement to the ef-
fect that the harvest prospects "un-
doubtedly have been overestimated,"
and says : "The outlook in the east-
ern provinces is far less favorable
than represented. Certainly the crop
will not exceed that of 1915. The
drought is worse than in 1915, and
blights and frosts have greatly dam-
aged the crops. The rye crop will
be from 10 to 15 per cent. below that
of 1915." The newspaper attde:
"Apart from local troubles there has
been a great overestimate of thehar-
vest generally, especially in relation
to food questions as discussed in the
Reichstag. Such overestimation' is.
Mischievous, tending to induce the
population to neglect to exercise the
necessary economy."

THE WEEK'S DEVEL OPMENTS IN THE WAR.

During ' hSaloniki and the
the week S
Balkan situation there came promin-
ently to the fore after being practi-
catty out of the news columns for sev-
eral months. An advance by Bul
garian forces over the Greek border
was announced. This movement was
made along the Valley of ,the Struma,
river (as shown in the map)' and was
notthalted until a Strong position on
the heights on the Greek side of the
border had been occupied.,Th'e delay
here was momentary and the next
day French headquarters announced
that the Bulgarians had' occupied Itu-
peli, Dragotin, and were advancing
from Demir-Hissar. Kavala : was
thought to be the objective. Two army
corps, officered and bolstered up by
Germans were being used in this
movement. Simultaneously Greece
became very angry and there were
wild demonstrations hostile to the in-
vaders. Incidental to the movement
on to Greek soil, came the news that
100,000 Serbians, re -equipped and now
well nourished, had been landed at
Saloniki by French transports, and
were ready again for what the future
might bring in the way of fighting.,
Parts of this force already have been
engaged. '

Caused Surprise in Accident Ward of
British Hospital.
King George's wonderful memory
for faces was again demonstrated on
a recent trip through the .accident
ward of a great London hospital.
Two years before on a visit to the
same hospital, he talked to a patient
with a broken leg. This time he re-
cognized the same man.
"You were here last time I came,"
said the King, "but you were in that
bed over there."
"Yes, your Majesty," replied the
man, "it's the other leg this time."
NEED MUNITIONS :
DEFER HOLIDAY
The Austrians attacking in three
columns south • from Trent ' an-
nounced the capture of two towns, Ar-
siero and Asiago, and large numbers
of men and guns. These two towns
are important railway bases for sup-
plies ab the foot of the mountains.
But General Cadorna hopes to hold
the enemy on the plains. There the
enemy guns will not, ho says be so,
vastly superior. He will then also be.
able to use more .troops to advantage.
Fighting at Verdun during the
past week has been as severe as at
any time during the three months it
has continued. The French appear to
have the siltuation well in hand al-
though, German attacks have won
some sma11 gains. New formations
of Germans have been thrown pell
mall against the heroic defenders only
to be hurled back in confusion.
The French first line trenches have
been entered several times but at
once counter attacks were organized
with the result that before the 'en-
gagement ended net result was slight.
In an official review of several days
fightiug the French war offices, sets,
down the result as "a costly check
for the Germans," This was per-
haps the heaviest fighting of the war
for it is said that the enemy con-
centrated along three miles of French
front, between hill 304 and the Meuse,
"more and heavier guns and denser
massesof troops" than in any pre-
vious attack. Austrian reserves to
the number of 80,000 have been ob-
served among German troops at
Dpuamont and other points of the
line. On Wednesday the French re-
ported la bombardment of "unheard-
of violence." Thus does the Verdun
fighting continue day after day, ap-
parently becoming more bitter and
entailing greater losses to both sides
as the 100th day of the engagement
is passed.
In other theatres of war, despatches
have told of a cheek to the great Rus-
sian enveloping movement in Syria;
and that 'General Smuts, operating
in East Africa, has again defeated
a strong German force. He still has
heavy fighting ahead of him, however,
and that campaign promises to be
lengthy. -

Six British Cruisers Lost.
The text of the Admiralty announcement issued Friday afternoon fol.-
"On the afternoon of Wednesdays the 31st of May, a naval engagement
took place off the coast of Jutland. The British ships on which the brunt
of the fighting fell were the battle cruiser fleet and some cruisers and
light cruisers, supported by four fast battleships. Among these the losses
were heavy. The German battle fleet, aided by low visibility., avoided a
prolonged action with our main forces.,As soon as these. appeared on the
scene the enemy returned to port, thogh not before receiving severe dam-
age from our battleships.
"The battle cruisers Queen Mary, Indefatigable and Invincible, ankh
the cruisers Defence and Black Prince were sunk. The Warrior was dis-
abled, and after being towed for some time had to be abandoned by;
her. crew. It is also known that the destroyers Tipperary, Turbulent;
Fortune, Sparrow Hawk and Ardent were lost, and six others are not yet
accounted for, No British battleships or Tight cruisers were sunk.
Enemy Losses Are Serious.
"The enemy's losses were serious. At least one battle cruiser was des-
stroyed, and one was severely damage. One battleship is reported to
have been sunk by our destroyers. During the night attack two light
cruisers were disabled and probably sunk. The exact number of enemy'.
destroyers disposed of during the action cannot be ascertained with any cer-
tainty, but must have been large."

Concentrated
Satisfaction
A great many former
users of tea and coffee have
learned that there is a pure
food beverage made from
wheat, which has delightful
flavor.
It never exacts of its
users the tribute of sleep-
lessness, heart -flutter, head-
ache and other ills often
caused by the drug, caf-
feine, in tea and coffee.
instant
Post
has a delicious, snappy
flavour and is absolutely
free from caffeine or any
harmful ingredient. In-
stant Postum is in con-
densed, soluble form, and
wonderfully convenient for
the home -for the picnic --
for travel -everywhere.
If tea or coffee interferes
with comfort or success, as
it does for many users, try
a shift to Postum.
