A. despatch from London says: The
correspondent of the Morning Post,
describing the successful counter -at -
back of the Canadians at Zillebeke,
says the night was wet, cold and dis-.
agreeable. The Men were in high
spirits. The • enemy seemed . to be
taken by surprise; and were complete-.
ly overmatched: Two mehine guns
were captured: Prisoners state that
the Germane had planned a further
attack there that very morning. The
Canadians found a great quantity of
stores they had left ten days previous-
ly practically intact,
Phillip Gibbs writes: It was a great
point of pride with the Canadians to
recapture the lost ground, themselves.
'Their losses were, not heavy in the
counter-attack, In the astonishing
THE ANTI -GERMAN
LEAGUE GROWS
THE _ENTIRE BRITISH EMPIRE IS
IN IT.
Also Spain, Venezuela and Argentina
Rally to Great Trade
Movement.
The Anti -German Union, an organ-
ization of English commercial and in-
dustrial interests, is fast spreading
throughout the British Empire, ac-
cording to a bulletin sent out recent-
ly from its headquarters in London.
It announces tht henceforth there
shall be "no German influence, no
German labor, and no German goods
that compete with British, so long
as the union exists. The slogan of
the organization is "The British Em-
pire for British subjects." '.
The union was founded in April,
1915. 'Practically all of the large
commercial houses' in England have
allied themselves with it, entering
into an ironclad agreement never to
re-establish business relations with
German producers, Branch offices
have been opened in all of the large
cities of the British Isles. An organi-
zing committee has canvassed the
United Kingdom and assigned agents
to all of its important industrial
centres. Not content, however, with
throttling Goeman trade in the United
Kingdom for all time to come, as it is
hoped there, the parent organization
has extended its operations and in-
fluence to all of the British dominions
and dependencies in the Empire.
Dominions and Neutrals.
The bulletin announces that the
union has aroused widespread interest
in India, the membership there in-
cluding
neluding thousands of merchants and
manufacturers who practically control
the foreign trade of the country. This
is true also in Australia and New Zea-
land. Canada and British Columbia.
were among the first of the dominions
to join in the movement, branches of
the union having been established in
all of the large cities, and commerce
thoroughly organized to continue its
trade war on everything ' German.
British South Africa also has joined
the union with a rush, 12,000 mem-
bers having been recruited in a single
day at Johannesburg, according to the
London bulletin.
At tiro outset it was not intended
that the Anbi-Gorman Union should
attempt to extend its influence be-
yond.the British umpire, but several
neutral countries have conie knock-
ing at the door, and the parent body
is now considering the extension of
its' influence to a point that will make
it world-wide. Spain, Venezuela, and
Argentina have volunteered to join in
the movement, and agents of the union'
have been sent to these neutral conn-,
tries to erect organizations.
The scope of the union is of the I
broadest, litre are some of its aims
and objects as announced in the Lon-
don bulletin;

"To foster 'national ideals' and to
keep alive the patriotic spirit of the
piece of work the Canadian guns play-
ed no small part, A great orchestra
of the heavier and field batteries
played an annihilating devil's tattoo
upon the Germans. The attack was a
complete success. The men were sur-
prised, as they expected greater
trouble, ,The enemy's shell -fire was
heavy, but the' Canadians got through
under cover' of our guns. The men
advanced two in open order down-
wards and sobthwords into their old
positions. Our continual bombard,.

ployers of such labor, or by other
suitable means. "To restrict the sale of all such Ger-
man goods as eat be supplied equally
Well from British sources.
"To -prohibit the sale of land and
house property to Germans.
"To strengthen the hands of the
Government in dealing, with enemy
aliens, and to repatriate at the end of
the warall who have been interned.
"To urge the Government to publish
a list of German firms and of those in
which enemy aliens have a controlling
interest."
Ask for Legislation.
Admitting ,that many of its"aims
are impossible of attainment in the
absence of legislation, the union has
carried its commercial war against
Germany into parliament. It is the
sponsor for three important bills now
pending. These arc the Service Fran-
chise bill, the Naturalization bill, and
the Alien Labor bill. The object of
the first is to obtain "adequate repre-
sentation of soldiers and sailors in
any new parliament." The second is
intended to repedl the existing na-
turalization laws and prohibit the
change of names of aliens. The third
if enacted into law, will make the em-
ployment of German labor practi-
cally prohibitive.
The activities of the 'inion arc by
no means confined to the question of
controlling foreign trade, It takes
credit for having rendered invaluable
services to the Government since the
day of its foundation. Its agents
everywhere in England have voluntar-
ily assistedin the protection of the
public from German raiders and spies.
Several of the latter have been con-
victed in the last few months through
information obtained by these agents
and- turned over to the Government
authorities.
The membership rolls of 'the union
include thousands of English women.
They are trained for the work in
hand and sent into the field to arouse
the nation in what is to be a cease-
less trade war against Germany. They
are also engaged in raising a large
fund which is intended to be used for
the perpetuation of the organization.
LONDON -BERLIN FOOD PRICES.
Advertisements Show English People
to be Better Off.
The huge Berlin departmental store
of A. Wertheim is the biggest con-
cern of the kind in Geemany, catering
chiefly for the middle and lower
classes, and enjoying a reputation for
cheapness. The other day it inserted
a prominent advertisement from its
provision department, taking care to
mention that the prices quoted were
exceptionally low, and only good for
the following Thursday and Saturday.
It is instructive to compare these
Berlin 'dices with the prices of simi-

Georges Carpentier; Famous French Pugilist, and Limit. Navarre, Who Has
Shot Down 16 Garman Aeroplanes.
Georges Carpentier, the famous French pugilist, and Lieutenant Na-
varre, the "Fokker killer," who has just brought down his sixteenth German
warplane. The airmen are standing in front of Navarre's machine, and it
will be noted that the Lieutenant has tied around his neck, his talisman,
a lady's silk stocking. Lieut. Navarre is a popular idol and favorite, the
bringing down of sixteen German aeros being quite. a record for one
aviator. He is familiarly known as the ``Fokker Killer," the nickname be-
ing quite a distinction. Carpentier is now a trainedaviator and skillful
pilot, and can manoeuvre his machine in the air as well as any other pilot
in the flying corps.

AUSTRIAN LOSSES
NUMBER 300,000
Original Austrian Force Has
Been Reduced to
300,000.
A despatch from Petrograd says:
Confidence prevails among Russian
observers of the offensive along the
southern section of the battle line that
the catalogue of the successes won by
Generals Brussiloff and Letehitsky is
by- no means complete. It is estimated
that the Teutonic losses along the
front.from the Pripet to the. Rou-
manian border now total 300,000, or
nearly, half the original effectives.
Great satisfaction is felt at the re
establishment of contact with the
Teutons along the whole south-west-
ern front, but attention is chiefly
centred upon the operations for
Kovel, Vladimir-Volynski, Czernowitz
and Kolomea. Col. Shumsy,-summar
izing the results of the fighting,
makes the deduction from the latest
Russian official statement that the en-
tire line of the Stripa is now occu-
pied by the Russians.
The precipitancy of the retreat of
the Attstrians In many sectors is
shown by the fact that the Russians
found several telegraphic and tele-
phonic installations intact, and are
now using them. The cartridges cap-
tured in the Stripa trenches would
have sufficed for the use of the Aus-
trians in the most intensive sort of
firing for several weeks.
