London, May 25.—Serious events
are brewing on the frontier of Af-
ghanistan; Reuter learae. The
ghans have concentrated forces in-
cluding many well -armed and well-
equipped regulars against the British
Expedition-I:ley Force. Attempts of
emissaries of the Emirs to induce the
frontier tribes to participate -in the
operations against the British are
meeting with only moderate success
in the operations which are about to

REPORT OF CANADIAN
TRADE COMMISSION
Market reports which will serve to
guide Canadian exporters and farm-
ers show that livestock in Great Bri-
tain is in keen demand. The Board
of Agriculture's weekly returns for
the middle of April shoes that prices
for nearly all meat animals are main-
tained, especially for store cattle,
though *malities vary considerably.
;From several market centres the re-
ports wore that the supply MS not
up to the standard, mid that sheep
showed no improvement, as many lots
sees, marketed in unripe condition
ewirg to wet weather and the short-
age of artificial feed's. The same
shorinuss marked the reports on
hogs. r.f which all classes were sell-
ing well. At Shrewsbury some An-
gus cross bullocks made up to eighty-
eight ,shillimrs (521.12) per .cwt. live
weight, while at Birmingham the live
-weight- pried' fOr hogs -ranged 'about
twenty-one shillings per score (53.52
per stone of 14 llse.). Prices every-
where showed an upward tendency.
The same shortage was reported in
provisions, especially butter and
cheese.

ZILLEBEKE ONE OF THE RED MILESTONES,
IN CANADA'S PATH OF -GLORY
Dominion Troops Stemmed the Tide of Advance Against Ypres
and Calais During Two Weeks of June, 1916, Adding
Fresh Lustre to Their Immortal-Renown—
The Battle of Zillebeke opened on
June 2, 1916, and really continued un-
til June 13. The Zillebelte sector is
situated two miles due east of Ypres,
on a front of two miles from Hill 60
to the upper edge of Sanctuary Wood
and Hoodge on Meuin Road. At the
time the Canadians were occupying
the southeastern portiou of the 'Ypres
salient. The British were messing
troops for the Somme offensive and
the Ypres salient was Practically
stripped of forces. The Canadians
were at a great disadvantage. Thera
was no air service. There was little
artillery and only a thin line of in-
fautry. There were no series of sup-
port and reserve trenches, owing to
the nntere of the ground, while the
Germans had even the advantage of
position, being on high ground, while
the Canadians °templed the low.
The Zillebelte sector was defended
by the 3rd Canadian division, under
the command of General Mercer, with
the 7111 ana Stli Brigades in the line.,
Tho front line trenches were oecupied
by the 24id and 4th Mounted Rings at
the lower end near Hill 60, and Mount

Checked German Advance.
To the Germans it appeared that no
mortal being could live through the
terrific hail of lead and Iron. At 12,45
the bombardment suddenly ceased and
the enemy, confident of an easy vie,
tory, came over, but he had not taken
into consideration the indomitable

front line hung on all night, though

On the following morning at day-
break, a counter-attack failed. The

while leading his company. The Pats
hung on tenaciously until Sunday, the

Though they hadpaid a great piece

anted by the order recently placed by
Great Britain for lumber from Canada;
aggregating. around 550,000,0000 in

Our forests have a wealth -producing
capacity, the possibilities' of which,
from a long-time standpoint, have ar
yet been realized only in small part.
To transmute these possibilities into
