He contradicted reports that have
been current ,that the Germans have
drawn large forces from the eastern
front to take part in the fighting In
France. a
"That fact is" he added, "that
there has been no considerable move-
ment of German troops from the east
to the west. The Germans have tent
fresh units to the western front, but
these were made up largely of men
called to the colors recently. The
Germans have been using the people
in the occupied territories to replace
laborers at home, who are thus re-
leased for the army."

FOR WAR SUPPLITS
Canada Makes Further Advance
to Imperial Government to
Finance Munitions Here.
" A despatch from Ottawa says: Sir
Thomas White has arranged to make
further advance of seventy-five mil-
t lion dollars' to the Imperial Govern-
inent to be used for the purchase of
munitions and supplies in Canada.
The advances 11'111 be made . at the
rate of twenty-five millions a month
during June, July and August. The
Imperial authorities regard the con-
tinued production of munitions in.
Canada as of the highest importance
in connection with the great offensive
now being carried on in France and
Flanders. For a. certain type of shell
the British military authorities grin -
pally depend upon Canada's indus-
aria' establishments whose output has
contributed in no small measure to
the recent success at the front. These
munitions can be purchased in Can-
ada only. if Canada provides the
money by way of loan to the Imperial
Treasury. Up to date the Dominion
Government has ' found $250,000,000
and the banks $100,000,000 for the -
purpose. The credits now established,
by the Government ensure continued
munition orders for months to come.

FRENCH. GAINS
IN CHAMPAGNE
Score Successes on the Aisne
and Regain Lost Ground.
A despatch from Paris says -the
big German 'offensive ' against
French line east of Vauxaillon Mon-
day, in which trenches were stormed
and captured, has gone for naught, for
tae French forces in a violent counter-
offensive had regained nearly all their
lost ground Tuesday night.
Although the German Crown Prince
had launched his,attack with huge ef-
fectives, composed of picked troops,
and covered it by a heavy artillery
fire and by bomb -dropping aircraft,
his tenure of the captured positions
was short-lived and only a salient, 400
metres north-east of the Meisn, Farm,
now remains in his�''halids. In addi-
tion, heavy casualties were inflicted on,
the Germans, who left many dead on -
the field of battle.
Likewise, in Champagne, the Crown
Prince has been badly battered be-
tween Mont Carnillet and Mone Blond.
In an attempt to recapture positions
previously taken from them, the Ger-
mans first were repulsed by the
French, who then assumed the offen-
sive and advanced their line on a front
of more than 600 yards and to a depth
in excess of 300 yards. Here also, the
Germans lost heavily in men killed or
wounded.

ORDERS OF CHIVALRY
NOW OPEN TO WOMEN.
Two New Distinctions Announced By
., King George.
A despatch from London says:
Orders of chivalry open to women
will be one of the outcomes of the
war. It is announced that in. recogni-
tion of 'the manifold services render-
ed in connection with the war, both
by British subjects and 'their allies,
the King has been pleased to institute
two new orders. The first is an order
of Knighthood styled "Order of the
British Empire." It will follow the
precedents of other similar orders and
consist of five classes or grades and
will be awarded both to women and
10 : men for services rendered to the Em-
5 pire at home and abroad. The first
two classes will in the case of men
carry the honor of Knighthood, and
in the cane of women the privilege of
prefixing the title "Dame" to their
names. The second order, which will
be closely restricted as to numbers,
will be entitled "Order of Companions
of Honor." It will consist of one class
only, to which women will be eligible
equally with men. It will carry no
title.

in the Provisional Government and un-

outlined the political and military pro-

the Russian people and their new
Provisional Government, the Russian

fight against German autocracy.. until

Tourists Shown the Fighting Front

How parties of "distinguished neu-

to the front" was told recently in a
Paris cafe which the "war correspon-
dent" frequents, according to a de-
spatch to the New York World.
"You've no idea how many people,
women as well as men, insist on be-,
ing taken to the front," said the offs-'
cel• who was explaining that it was his
official duty to "guide" these parties.
"There are men and women who come
over here and explain that they have
.een sewing shirts for soldiers or col
lecting pennies for poilus for a long,
time and feel that in order to continue,
carrying on their work properly theyi
should see war waged at first hand.
"Well, we have several different -
places where we take these parties.;
One is on the old battlefield of thej
Champagne offensive of the fall oft
1915,• and more recently we have used
our old first line positions in the Som -I
me sector. Then up in the Vosges;
we have a spot where the fighting lisle'
to -day is several miles in front of,
where :t once was.
"There are always plenty of troops
behind the lines all along the front,
so that the old trenches never have
the appearance of being deserted,'
And they look a little battered, too, so;
we do not bother to repair them and'
strengthen them continually as we do,
the actual fighting positions.
"We take our sightseers out to a
rail -head behind the lines and whirl;
t�iem furiously for 30 or 40 miles
army motor cars, and then stop some -I
where, in a spot about as safe : sl
Chicago. There we hand out gas
masks to the ladies and gentlemen.'
although the former usually refuse to
put them on because ,it disarranges,

Three mothers by your cradle stand:
One mother who has given birth,
And one of then is Motherland,
And one of them is Mother Earth;
Three mothers must you have •i13 all,
Arid two are great and one is small;'
Your Motherland is strong and dread;
Her shield your sure protection
makes;
She spreads her law above your head,
But even while she gives she takes.
Her arm is strong, her word is true,
But she may ask your life of you.
From Mother Earth by toil you wring
Or feast or crust at her caprice,
The, shelter for your journeying,
Though brief at best will be the
lease.
And at the end she gives you bed
But cares not where your soul hat
sped.
Tho Mother who has borne your flesh
Through hot',
or ill will hold you
Will guide you through the world's
And so ,thy it save your soul at last,
Throe mothers shall you havd in all,
And ono is great and two aro shall.
