The Germans are partiuleerly de sirous of capturing Messines Ridge and Wytsehaete, and pressed their at- tacks hard there throughout the day.:Vlach sanguinary bend-to- band.futting occurred at the place=s, the tide of battle surging back and forth for many hours before the en- mity finally abandoned temporarily bis attempts here. Coincident with the attack tl north of Armentieres the enemy continued to push northwestward from Croix du Bac below Armentieres in order to complete the pocketing of the lat- ter city, A later despatch says: "The situa- tion in Flanders is regarded on Thurs- day as fairly well in hand, but the fighting continues on a heavy scale and is likely to continue. What suc- cess the Germans achieved developed out of an advance in the centre of the original front of attack, helped out by !the misty Weather. The territory 1w1 eh the enemy over -ran was sparse - populated by civilians, and as re- gf ale the character of the country, it Ls r'. barren gain. Moreover, the en- emy communications are lengthened across long tracts of clay. "The \;either has improved and on Thursday morning the allies Were effectively co-operating in large num- laws. "At 10 o'clock Thursday morning the enemy made a formidable attack against Hollebelte, and fighting of great intensity followed. Masses of the enemy advanced in waves over heavy ground -flanking Roozebeek, making a great target for the rifle- men and machine guns, which wrought what is described as terrible execu- tion. A despatch from French Head- quarters says: Relative quiet pre- veils from Hangard to Noyon. The French carried out a small infantry attack at Grivesnes Chateau, locally improving their position in the park. The guns are active on both sides along the whole front. The Germans have done little trench digging. The enemy airmen are more active, but are showing little inclination to take the offensive.

A despatch from Ottawa says: The Canada Food Board states that the new anti -waste and anti -hoarding or- ders made by the board have been responsible, in part at least, for a large reduction in the surplus of apples and potatoes in Canada. The quantity of apples in the Annapolis Valley and in leading marketing thecon- Cres was reduced during month of March by nearly 1.00,000 barrels. The smallest reduction has taken place at Winnipeg, where 18,000 bar- rels of apples -were in store on March 30, as compared with 15,400 barrels on March 1. The Canada Food Board has telegraphed the chief food in- spector at Winnipeg enquiring whe- ther these holdings are liable to be marketed without loss. If the stocks there cannot be taken care of without waste, the Food Board is prepared to require dealers to dispose of their holdings without delay. Very con- siderable supplies of onions are re- ported to be held in British Columbia. Dealers are warned that they are liable to prosecution if any part of these stocks be allowed to spoil.

To that j will be added if the disbursements for the present year are as estimated, $516,277,804, making a total since the outbreak of war of $1,362,227,823. As the Prime Minister pointed out, how- ever, that sum does not represent all the expenditures of the period inas- much as certain large amounts laid out in Great Britain have not yet been reported and included in the amounts. • S MUST RAISE FOOD OR JOIN THE ARMY AIM TO RE- TAKE JER.SAL 1t Turks, Reinforced by German Troops, Open 1111 Offensive Near Palestine Coilst..

In both Palestine incl 1i :'1poti4nlin the British have been c,,royieg en e- ces2.ful campaigns for several and have accomplished thu destructioe of two Turkish armies.

Last - Week, for' the first time, the Germain War Office referred in the War r'epor't to Pales- tine. Another indication that the Ger- mans were planning offensive opera- tions on that front was the statement a few days ago by Lieut. -Gem. von Ardenne, a German military' writer, that the tide was about to turn in Syria and Palestine; and that the re- capture of Jerusalem bad become a practicable possibility.

To -day these trees are being felled for war purposes. "Wooden wails" have ceased to be, but the old woman's foto-' sight has been justified. Airmen's Electric N'litte, Sustained winter flying on Euro- pean battle fronts is made possible by electrified clothing for the Airmen. Even in summer the night air at great altitudes is bitter Bold, and in the win- ter months the wind is (hilly enough to benumb airplane pilots wore they not prepared.
