In addition they in- flicted heavy casualties on the Ger- :mans. Over a front of more than nine miles extending from the region of Ypres tlouthward and nearly. to Armentieres, he British started their drive in the Parry hours of Thursday morning and t nightfallauld everywhere advanced their line, capturing villages and nu- merous points of vantage among the latter the Messines-Wytschaete ridge? Which commands the surrounding plains for miles and which for two and a half years has been a trouble- some salient. The villages of Messines and Wyts- chaete fell into the hands of the Brit- ish during the attack, and the British even Pressed on eastward from WYtO" elleete and occupied the village of Oosttaverpe and tveuehes east of the village on a front Of mare than five miles. 1... Probably never in history was an attack launched with greater pre- pantion. For days the Wytsohaete salient had been the objective of the British guns, which had hurled tons of steel upon it. When the time for the attack came the British loosed mines containing 600 tons of high ex- plosives in front of the German pea sitions, the detentions being heard 180 miles away in England, With consternation reigning among the Germans and under a curtain of fire, English, Irish, New Zealand and Australian infantrymen, with "tanks" to aid them, started across the open, The Germans offered only slight re- sistance, and everywhere were beaten off, even late in the- afternoon, when they had somewhat regained their composure and attempted a counter- attack near the southern end of the line, which was broken up by the Brit. ish artillery. fire, GERMANY ANGRY AT FRENCH DEMAND Will. Not Accede to Restoration okAlsacd-Lorraine. A despatch from Berlin says: The French Chamber's decision that the war must continue until Prussian mili- tarism is destroyed and Alsace -Lor- aine regained caused the greatest indignation all over Germany, and not the least among the Socialists. For some' time one could notice a decided change in the attitude of the large German classes toward France, who even to the beginning of the present year had displayed something akin to compaseion. German papers pre- serve rather a forced calmness in dis- cussing the proceedings in the French Chamber, though all of them without any exception emphasize the stereo- typed phrase, "Alsace-Lorraine was • german, is German, and will rel./Min German forever, no matter what the Chamber may decide." Vorwaerts feels perhaps the hardest, because it says that even French Socialists who recently were ready to sit down with German Socialists at Stockholm . and discuss with them peace without an- nexation now seem to have identified theinselves with the war aims of the a -et capitalist classes. • : SIFTON WINS IN ALBERTA. Liberal Government Returned by About Same Majdeity as at Last Election. A despatch from Edmonton.' Alta„ pays: The Liberal Governmentunder the leadership of Hon. A. L. Sifton has been returned to power in Alberta its a result of the voting in Thursday's electien. Returns are slow in coming in, but the figures tabulated up .to 9 o'clock indicated that the Liberals would have about the same proportion of seats as formerly -8 out of a total n the House of 56. All the Cabinet Ministers are believed to have been returned, although the Attorney -Gen- eral, Hon. C. W. Cross, is having a close run in. Edon. Only a few polls have been heard from at Beaver River, Where Hon. Wilfrid Gariepy is the candidate. NORWAY PARALYZED BY FOOD STRIKES. , Many Important Plants Thieughout the Country Are Idle: ;le...A despatch 'from London says: A despatch to the Central News from Christiania says that great demon- stration's against 'the unsatisfactory food situation were held throughout Norway lately, The Govermnent, with a view to preventing rioting, pro- hibited the sale of alcoholic bever- ages for three days, and as a result of this order the restaurants were closed. The despatch adds that all stores in Christiania shut their doore that the gas world, and electrical plants are idle, and that nearly all workmen are striking.

A despatch from Ottawa says: Ex- tensive arrangements have been com- pleted by which British subjects, in the United States may join the Can- adian Expeditionary Force.

A despatch from London says: Eight of eighteen German aermilanes that took part in Tuesday's air raid on Essex and Kent were driven down by British airmen. Four of these were to a certainty completely destroyed, while two others are believed to have been put totally out of commission. Of the eighteen machines that stetted in the fetid two were brought down near the British coast after hay- ing dropped their bombs, as reported in the official British statement. The remaining sixteen were engaged by ten naval airmen from Dunkirk, who in a great battle over the sea destroy- ed two more of the Germans and drove down another four, two of 'which, it is reasonable to believe, were completely put out of action. OUR ENEMY, THE HOUSE FLY. Impartment of Public Health Urges War on Common Foe. From tiine to' time a good many nasty but true facts have been given about the fly. At the approach of summer we again draw your attention to this dangerous, filthy insect, and ask you to kill them and spare them not. The fly is a filthy creature. It breeds in illth, particularly manure, eats filth and carries it around to soil clean objects with. The product of a aingle fly in 40 days would aneount to 810 pounds, provided 'only half of them lived. The logical time to kill a fly is therefore early in spring. You will find a few adults now in cellars, attics, stables and other out of the way places. In warm weather the fly, lays its eggs in maniere or organic refuse, and in 6 to 8 hours its eggs hatch into larvae (maggots), which grow rapidly and mature in 4 to 5 days, Each larva then becomes a pupa in a hard brown case, and in five days More the adult fly emerges to catty on an ac- tive existence for several weeks. The great way to control flies there- fore is to kill the early onee, and clean up all places where they can breed, e.g., out -houses, fermenting vegetable and putrifyirig animal mat- ter, bedding of poultry pens, garbage, manure piles, etc. If .we allow filth to accumulate we soon have flies. The manure pile in your yard or your neighbor's may breed enough flies in a few days to worry you all summer.

General Smuts, Minister of Defence of the Union of South Africa, said some interesting things recently about the new -features in the bistory of wee - fare which this war has supplied. There was the eubmarine, which had proved one of the most deadly in- struments of warfare ever invented, and we SUM how far it was going, in its recent developments, to undermine the very foundation of sea -power. He was not a pessimist at all, and he was sure this weapon, too, would be fought efficiently to its end, but until that was done we were passing through an anxious period, /laden period during which those who were in command of our war machine would have to turn every Attention to this problem. Another g-reat innovation in this war had been wireless telegraphy. He had had special experience of that in liis campaign in East Africa. Nm tele- graph or telephone could ever f011ow these mobile troops over swamps and mountains and rivers; and the wire- less was the only means of keeping up communication. The third novelty in the present war, the aeroplane, was probably go- ing to prove the most important of all, not only from the military point of view, but afterwards, in time of peace, from a commerical point of view. Time and space are the two enemies in the ddvelopment of the human race, and, one of the most efficient instru- ments ever discovered to help in the struggle against time and space was the aeroplane. When the war was over we would have an Minimise num- ber of aeroplanes which could be Prince Lvoff.

CANADA'S GRAIN CROP Coming Harvest WM Probably Yield 275,000,000 Bushels When Vice -President George Bury of the C.P.R, made an inspection of the Western lines in June, 1915, he asked all the crop experts for estimates of the wheat yield of that year. The high- est he could get was 230,000,000 bush- els. With eye pacticed at judging the growing wheat over great emaces, he wet secretly amazed at the unusual fecundity of the' soil, at the high and thick growth, the uniform excellence of the plant and its luxuriant appear- ance. He said Canada would raise 240,000,000 bus.hels of wheat and felt thet it would raise 390,000,000. In June, 1910, a private estimate placed the Canadian crop at 220,000,- 000 thishels. Notwithstanding a con- tinuous avalanche of unfavorable re- ports, this was adhered to in the face even of Government figures. The 1915 crop yielded 150,000;000 bushels more than the public estimate of Mr. Bury, and the 1916 crop has produced ap- proximately 220,000,000 bushels. Canada's Spring wheat area in- oreased from 4,977,000 acres in 1906 to 13,643,000 acres in 1916; oats area from 2,309,900 acres to 6,976,000 acres.

A despatch from London says: The tremendous explosions which opened the British attack on Wytschaete bend were heard by David Lloyd George, the British Premier, who was staying for the night at his residence, Walton Heath. The plans for the attack had been long maturing, and when the pre- parations were perfected the Premier was acquainted with the exact hour it was intended to open it.

The War Department of the United States is getting out a book of songs for their troops to sing in.,the trenches and on the march in France. General Bell is quoted as taathority for the statement that singing 'shortens the weary mileage for the foothoee, bur- dened infantryman. Every' military camp has found itself sooner or later a nest of singing birds. So prone are the Italian soldiery in the Alps to "bel canto" that often they have to . be warned in the face of the enemy that song, as well as the live thunder, of the peet's description, leaps "from peak tb peak the rattling crags among," and wakes betraying echoes. General Bridges, of the British commission to the United States, tells how he once had hard work to get some fatigued British stragglers out of St. Quentin when an overwhelming force of Ger- mans was apprOaching. Finally he had the Inspiration (he was then a ma- jor) to procure a toy drum and a whistle, and to trirs music he and a trumpeter brought the men out of town singing the "BrItish Grenadian.", The other day, addressing the training camp at Plattsburg, General Bell said he wanted every company to have its own song. "'A Hot Time in the Old Town To -night' has a swing to it thief will put ginger and cold courage in the hearts of men. Go to 18. Sing and fightl" Not without reason is part of the Young Men's Christian Association budget devoted to 200 pianos and piano -players, 200 phonographs and 10,000 recearde. Canadians and Terri-) torials marching through LonTon their way to the front are accustom to lift their voices in music -hall dit-• ties -not, as a rule, those of the latest' vintage, but usually the songs thati have been gaining favor through sev.J eral seasons. That is a striking faci about the songs the sailors sing. They are tenacious of the old and approved tunes. A modern ballad of a rhythm) sufficiently taking may sweep the regi.: ments like machine-gun fire; but for one "Tipperary" there are hundrede of modern mushroom growths that perish. The song a soldier carries in his mental kit must have a swinging simplicity of form and the syhpatheto appeal of the elemental sentiment thal, makes the whole world kin. Life's Motto. Once in thy father's arms, A new-born child, Thou dids't but weep while all About thee smiled. So live that, sinking in thy last Long sleep, - Thou then mayst smile, while all About thee weep, WOMAN NOW 114 PERFECT HEALTH What Came From Reading a Pinkharn Advero tisement Paterson, N.
