'The main feature will be the back - to -the' -land principle, preferably in Canada, but with the option df the other colonies or in Great Britain. The question who will provide the honey is the chief problem for the Committee. ' The committee wants the Imperial and overseas Govern- ments to provide not merely the land and transportation, but sufficient money to tide the soldier settlers over the non-productive period. ' I An emigration agent who has just completed a tour of Scotland reports a marked revival of interest in Can- ada. Many enquiries were received from young crofters regarding pro- ' eisects ro-aspects in the Dominion after the, war. 345 FACTORIES ARE UNDER "CONTROL" Excess of Employers' Profits Over Fixed Limit to be Paid Into the Imperial Exchequer 'A despatch from London says; Da -Mr. Lloyd -George, "Parliament has Yid Lloyd -George, Minister of Muni -assured that sacrifices made by work - tions, announces that 345 establish -men are made for the nation as a meats have bden declared "controlledivhole and not for the advantage of establishments" under the Munitionsindividuals.

" "By this provision," saystablishments," NES OFFENSIVE AGAINST CALAIS Movement' of German Troops Through Belgium Continuous for Days. A despatch from London says: The Daily Mail's correspondent at The Hague telegraphs that a prominent neutral citizen, who has just arrived from Brussels, says that the move- ment of German troops through Bel- gium to the western front has been constant for several days. A significant order of the day pre- dieting resumption by the Germans of a vigorous offensive in the west has been issued to the Teutonic armies in Flanders, according to the Amsterdam Telegraaf. An extract from this Iprder, telegraphed by the Amsterdam correspondent of the Ex- change Telegraph Company, follows: "Our work now is practically fin- ished in the east end we are about to begin in the west. Peace is cer- tain in October." The French official communication chronicles the recapture through counter-attacks of part of the trenches lost in the Argonne, and the repulse of enemy attacks at other points. There was also some rather severe fighting in the Vosges, in which hand -grenades were used. Albert Thomas, Under-Secretary of War in charge of munitions, tells the Petit Parisien that France's efforts to produce .munitions are different in method, but equal in results, to those of England, which he recently viewed. The newspaper quotes him as follows: "We have an army which at the present moment is armed so as to Withstand any shock, an army which on the other hand is capable of mak- ing a strong offensive. Its morale is good; that is to say, the army is pre- pared to remain as it is if necessary. "Every day our strength grows both in England and in France. Not- withstanding the formidable re- sources at the disposal of Germany, it is not possible that the resources of the allies will not assure them when the time is ripe for complete victory. GERMANS ARE DROWNED IN EFFORT TO ESCAPE A despatch to Christiania says: Twenty-five members of the crew of the German converted cruiser Berlin, interned at Trondhjem last Novem- ber, attempted to escape- by swim- ming across the Trondhjem fjord, but they were observed by a guard and caught. All were provided with bun- dles of civilian clothing, money and knives. Several were drowned. Three German citizens have been sentenced to terms of imprisonment for attempting to smuggle copper in- to Germany. The Berlin, which carried a crew of 460 men, entered the Norwegian port of Trondhjem on Nov. 17, to escape, British warships after attempting to escape from the North Sea to act as a commerce raider in the Atlantic.

TROOPS AT GALLIPOLI . SHELLED . BY SUBMARINE A despatch from Mitylene says: After the sinking of the Turkish bat- tleship Barbarossa the allies' submar- ines also sank a large gunboat and empty transport in the neighborhood of Gallipoli port. After the coast had been cleared of enemy ships two submarines drew in close to sho-re and shelled a column of troops marching toward Gallipoli town, causing them very heavy casualties. The destruction of the Barbarossa re- moved a regular thorn in the allies' side, for the accurate fire of its well - calibred, high -trajectory guns across the peninsula had more than once seriously hampered the movements of the allies' ships approaching from Saros. • WARNING AGAINST FOOD INTINBOXES. Cardboard is Best Plan; Germans Need the Tin. A despatch from Ottawa says: A warning has been issued by the Wo- men's Canadian Club of Ottawa not to send food and parcels in tin boxes to prisoners in Germany. It is stated that several cases of eatables sent in tin boxes have not been received, while in many cases eatables have been reported received but minus the tin boxes. It is pointed out that un- doubtedly Germany, which is badly in need of tin has been confiscating all boxes of that metal. Those send- ing eatables are asked to use wood or cardboard boxes. DISCOVERS A SPECIFIC FOR SPINAL MENINGITIS. A despatch from Melbourne says: The discovery of a specific for cere- bro -spinal meningitis has been an- nounced by Dr. Richard Bull, director of the bacteriological' laboratory of the 'University of Melbourne. 'J r. Bull stated that eucalyptus would de- stroy the germ. The treatment of cerebro -spinal meningitis has long presented a seri- ous problem for medical science. Up to a comparatively short time ago it may be said that there was no affec- tive treatment for this disease, known popularly as "spotted fever," or "the black death," The medicinal proper- ties of the oil obtained from leaves of the eucalyptus tree have long been recognized. It has been used in treat- ment of microbic diseases of lungs. and bronchi and employed as an anti- septic. ITALY NEEDS MORE GRAIN. 12,000,000 Quintals to Be Bought in America. A despatch from Rome says: The latest official reports regarding the harvest show that Italy needs 12,000,- 000 quintals more of grain for her consumption until next year. A quin- tal` is approximately 220 pounds. Most of this grain, it is understood, will be purchased in America, WORKMAN IN GERMANY PAYS MORE FOR FOOD. A despatch from Amsterdam says: The official organ of the General Fed- eration of Trades Unions of Germany states that as one result of the Brit- ish ritish blockade the average German workman's family last May had to expend 36.49 marks (about $9) week- ly for food, as compared with 24,70 marks (about $6) in May of 1914. Rumors of German Peace Overtures Confirmed ed 'A despatch from Petrograd says: The Nova Vremya, confirms the ru- mors of German overtures for sepa- rate peace. It is alleged that Ger- Many offered Russia Galicia and the Dardanelles, with a guarantee of the integrity of her frontiers, Germany of ceding the same to Turkey and for a free hand to deal with Russia's allies. "This attempt testifies," says the journal, "that in spite of her bril- liantly organized espionage Germany entirely fails to discount the senti- melt of the Russian authorities and stipulating for Egypt on the pretext of the whole Russian people."

A despatch from Ottawa says: That at the end of the war Canada will have 5,000' or 6,000 pensions to pay is the estimate made from the experi- ence of the Militia Department so far. While the uncertainty as to the length of the struggle precludes any very accurate prediction, it is practically certain that there will be added to the Dominion expenditure a sum of at least $4;000,000 per year for pen- sions for the wives and families of dead soldiers and for disabled men, Up to the present, however, the number of Canadian soldiers receiv- ing pensions as a: result of the pre- sent war is only 160, and the amount paid out up to July 31 has been $25,- 000,, As each application for a pension takes three or four months between the time the soldier falls or is wound- ed and the date on which the applicas tion is finally passed, it is altogether probable that the $2,000,000 set apart for pensions during the present year will be sufficient. It is estimated that already about•1,000 Canadian men of family have fallen in action, but as stated, only a small . proportion . of these cases have been dealt with. These cases are first passed on by the Pension and Claims Board of the Militia Department, and then referred to Major W. S. Conger, Canadian Pensions Officer. l About Her Young Man.
