General Haig has again assumed the offensive on the British part of the Western front after !leveret weeks spent in. consolidating the gains Made in the first great advanee, in building roads and bringing up guns and sup- plies. This time however, the enemy are fully prepared for the attack, knowing exactly where to expect it Large numbers of German reinforce- ments have been rushed to the front and their orders are to hold the line at any cost. This, they are endeavor- ing to do as is evidenced by the num- bers of 'their dead found When the Britisle advanced.' Everywhere the German defence has stiffened and they are putting up a strong fight ao that the new British offensive is now Only gaining yards where in the first rush they gained miles. The Germans have plenty of men and their com- mands are sacrificing theta without stint. Their object is to hold their line until the new defences in that- rear, upon which they :are fev- erishly working, are completed and after every gain the British make,they they come back with tremendous counter-attacks. These attacks how- ever, so far have failed in every case and made as they are, in massed form- ation as in the early days of the war their losses hamve1 been stupendous, wave after wade Swept away British gun fire, but others waves - are there to take their place and ,so the slaughter goes on day after day. The British will evidently have to pourid their way through and this they are doing in their own methodical way. If the Germanline breaks it -will show conclusively that their mor- ale is completely shattered and that their day is done. If it holds fur- ther sacrifices will have to be niade and these losses* are now heavy en- ough as is plainly shown in the col- umns of casualties which have been appearing in the daily papers for the past week. During the week the French have been meeting with brilliant success on their part of the line. As in the ease of the British attack, so sure were the flermans that their defences were impregnable that they did not attempt to retire until it was too late to bring away their gun teams or save their artillery. It was no strategic retreat, e they retired because they were forced - e 4 THE 111MON EXPOSITOR 1 he same, while the boat afoWly Sank .. beneath them. Not so the Prussians. The moment the torpedo struck the Prussians Made a Mad rush for the lifeboats, and when, they were driven back many droppedtotheir knees and implored mercy. Even while wounded and helpless soldiers lay unaided in their cots the Pnissians made another attempt and rushed a lifeboat, which, however, toppled- over and they were thrown into the sea, where they toned with each other to reach another beet loaded with badly wounded. That so many lives were saved was due solely to the staff and crew who stuck to theiitposts until the heit nian Was taken off. " , f Mr. Arthur Balfour, Biitish. Minis- ter of Foreign Affairs, and his staff, who composed the British irepresent- ation at the Conference to be held in Washington with the newest Ally, the United States, arrived in Halifax on Sunday last, and proceeded direct te the American capital. France's War Commissioners for the same confer- ence, which include Rene Viviani, French Minister of Justice, and Gen- eral Jeffre, arrived at HamptonRoads on Tuesday, and are now ' also. in Washington. to in hand to hand fighting. At Vail- ly one of the points of attack the Ger- mans were so sure they would not have to move that when the unresist- ible French -rush came it was found that the German shelters and dugouts were intact and even mines which had been prepared for some considerable time were unexploded. There alone, in one haul, the French took 50 guns and supplies of ammunition, 2,000 prisoners of whom thirty were officers and a great quantity of machine guns, stands of rifles, officers' baggage, note- tooke, half -finished letter and food. During the past two days weather conditions for flying have been the most perfect for months, and the bitter fighting on the ground has been accompanied by equally bitter fighting ha the air. On Monday there was a greater aniount of fighting in the air than in any one day siee the begin- ning of the war and a new air record was established by the British Flying Corps when they brought down forty German machines. Since last Saturday the enemy airmen have been having a bard time of it The British flyers have apparently swept them out of the sky and our flyers have been every, - where along the battle front and as far as 45 mites ;back of the German lines where bombing raids were car- ried out on German trains rushing reinforcements to the front and - transport columns on the roads com- pletely disorganizing them, and even flew low enough over the fighting lines and poured machine gun fire into the German ranks. The British hospital ships, Donegal and Lanfrane with many wounded on board were torpedoed and sunk with- out warning on Tuesday last. The Lanfrane in. addition t� 234 British wounded carried 167 wounded Ger- man prisoners. Of these 19 13ritieh and 15 Germans are believed to have perished. The sinking of the hospital ships brought to fife the real Ger- man and showed him in his true and only colors, and showed the great gulf between himself and his British en- emy. The British soldiers stood at at- tention, even the crippled trying to do THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT. No tariff changes and a substant- ial increase in the taxation of war profits, were the outstanding features of Sir Thomas White's bahf hour Bud- get Speech in the Commons on Tues- day. It was the shortest BUdget speech given in the Commons in many years, and the meat of it was sum- med up in ore short paragraph defin- ing the increased taxation on busi- ness profits in excess tif 15 Per cent. of the capital invested. . The proposal is "to take from per- sons, farms and companies liable to the business profits wah tax act, 1916, 50 per cent, of all profits in excess of 15 per cent., but not exceeding 20 per cent per annum, and 75 percent of profits in excess of 20 per amt. per annum upon capital." —Miss Nettie Robertson, is spending the week at home.—Mrs..

The Government is now taking somewhat belated action to collect something like a fair share Ifor the National Treasury out of the money which a small body of fortun- ate people have been able to make out of the war. Sir Thomas was very brief in his presentation of the financial, and trade results of the past fiscal year. He dealt only in generalfigures, and did not attempt to analyze the _details of income or expenditure or trade de- velopments. He hoted, amid Govern- ment applause,'that out of a total in- come oft$232,0,000 last year, an in- crease of $62,000,000 over the preced- ing year, the. Government was able to meet all` ordinary and capital domestic expenditure, and still have $60,900,- 000 to the good to apply on the twin- eipal Of the war debt He recognized the growing financial obligations of the country arising out of the war claims, but for the present at least he thought that the proposed increase in the business tax was all that was necessary. He deprecated the imposition of an income tax as being both unwise and impracticable in Canada. He declared that existing arrangements would finance the war until June. Then there would be an is- sue of Treasury bills and in the early autumn another domestic war loan. As to the trade conditions, he noted -that the total trade of the Dominion for the year just closed had crossed the two -billion mark, while the Meer - able balance had increased to $314,- 000,000. He recognized the fact that the Dominion wide prosperity indicat- ed by these figures was more or less due to the abnormal conditions of war business and he closed with the rrm dent admonition to the people of Can- ada to save and be .conservative in their business commitments.
