The War Situation.
During the past week the people ot
Samna and e.specially the people of On
tains have had brought home to _ahem;
in a manner as never .before, the hor
rors and sorrows af war. Six i.housand
of leer bravest .and best sons .have been
killed, wounded or are missing in the
battle of Langemarck, near Ypres, in
Belgiume The particulars a this strug-
gle are given in detail in other columns
of thts issue. There is scarcely a city
Lown ar municipality in `Ontario, that
Is. not called upon to mourn "the loss
of one or more of its residents and
several have many names in the casu-
alties,liSts. The situation is such as
eo cause even the most :stolid and in-
klitlarent to take thought. And it is
feared that the worst is not yet. The
wily --White spat in the whole,situation
is the knowledge that Canada's sons
have acenitted themselves with such
unspeakable bravery and ceura,ge as to
win for them the plaudits and praise of
the whale nation. This is much to be
thankful for, but it will not heal the
wourids In the hearts a those who
leave been so sorely bereaved no will
it bring- back to us the noble manhoad
that has been destroyed. But We than
e
also tire consolation •that the sacrifice
has been made in bebalf of -a goon and
sufele cause.
It is now abundantlyevident that but
Lor the brutal and inhuman act sof
throwing tepee Their opponents poison-
ous gasses, a thing never before practised
In civilized' warfare or indeed in war-
fare of any kind, the Germans would
not have achieved enen- the temperary
victory which they seem to have [gain-
ed in this spixere. Subsequent events
ahow tnat but for this the Allies were
abundantly prepared and able to re -
gist any offensive attacks which the
Germans could make upon them despite
the large reinforcements which they
tad brought forward and which they
precipitated into the contest: Since the
!great conflict of the last days af April,
continual skirmishing has been in pro -
grass between the feaces but the Ale
lies have gained back most of the
ground which they lost in tae destauc-
Ore German drive. The practical result
ie that the German people have been
-given new hope and the wa,e..>has Ithus
probably been prolongued. But the only
thing that prevents a forward march
t on the part dik the Allies is the .lack
of nemitione. They have ,an abundance
a men but the consumption of ammun-
ition is such that it is impossible ' to
get a sufficient sapply' ahea,d: to justify
an onward march of such proportions
as that intended. This is, however, a
• difficulty that is gradually being aver -
come. The Germans are still using their
polsorous gasses, but the British and
French are adopting n:eans to subvent
there in this respect. John Bull moves
slowly but he usually moves very effec-
• teally. The Germans made a great
splurge about their inhuman submarine
bombardment of the waters an the Bri-
tish coasts. At first they did some
little damage. They sunk a few freight
meets and caused the death of a few
innocent, seamen. But of late their op-
erations in this direction have been
prantically abandoaecl as the British
authcetities have made it too danger-
ous for them to continue their .nefari-
aus practices. They now confine their
submarine activities to the North Sea
and- even, there they are getting the
Werra af it as two of their torpedo -boats
have been captured and destroyed by
the British during the past week, but
net until they had done considerable
• injury. It will b.e the same with the
poisonous. gasses. Their evil practices
will ultimatsly recoil upon themselves.
The Allies no -w -have their lines in Bel-
gium and Frame re -adjusted and are
once more in a position to taketie an
active offensive movement. In the ean-
titre they are holding their own an,d
are successfully repelling all attacks of
the enemy. •5
Ir the East the eituatime at present
is not so favorable. The Germans, ow-
ing to their superior railway facilitics
e and the consequent facility with which
- they can move their troops from onc
ipoint to another have succeeded with-
in the past week in massingegreat for-
ces in one or two points against the
Rassiaa armies and have driven the
the Russ:lane back at one or , two
points and gained eaneiderable ground.
The reports. howevor, are very contra-
dictory, the Germans claiming great
victories, while the Russians admitting
defeat at one or Iwo points ,deny that
their opponents have made important
aerogrese and "they declare their ability
and determination to recover all lost
ground, whic thee- will no doubt do.
In the Da-r4laneUes satisfactory pro-
gress b bin made both on eancl and j
sea. The Allies have landed large for-
ces of infantry arid artillery on Tur-
kiet soil contiguous to the Dardanelles
and the forts along that important and
well guarded waterway are being hot-
ly stormed. The work is being carried
en VaftWconsidernage vigor but the ,op-
position by the Germa.n-Turkish for- e
ces is strong although no serious easu- h
aides -from this scene have recently
