THE WAR SITUATION.
The struggle on the Western front
is -still being bitterly waged, and. as
yet no dec, ision has been reached. For

France and Germany have been strug-

which baffles description. Thousands
-Upon thousands of reservists have
been hurled against the Allied fronts
by Field Marshall Von Hindenburg in
a desperate effort to cheek the Brit-
ish advance, but se far their efforts
have been unavailing, and almost foot
'ley foot the Allies are forcing back the
Germans. Both. sides are fighting with
a resolution more savage end. more
terrible than the war has yet seen,
and while our losses are high they are
as nothing compared to those of the
-
enemy, whose castutlity lists for the
week have been colossal. The German
general staff seem to feel that if their
present line of defence is reached and
broken all will be lost to them, and
to avoid this they are pouring out

Recently
opting a
new mode of defensive. Instead of
piecing their troops in trench lines of
cement with dugouts and barbed wire
entanglements in front they have a-
dopted what is practically guerilla
warfare. 'Small detachments of troops
are scattered where any natural cov-
er is afforded and in the shell holes
with which the ground is pitted. These
troops are armed with machine guns
and cannot be reached with heavy ar-
tillery, because they are so scatter-
ed, except by an expenditure of ammu-
nition that would be out of all pro-
portion to the results attained. On
the other hand British troops cannot
advance without being swept by these
hidden and unexpected machine gun
attacks, without heavy losses. This is
the method adopted to delay the Brit-
ish advance against the main German
_ line of defence, and until these small
nests of machine gunners can be clear-
ed out the way will not be open for
any big movement that will bring the
main forces into touch. This kind of
fighting means hand to hand encoun-
ters, without artillery protection, and
with consequent losses.
Again the Canadians have shown
their superiority over picked German
troops, having captured the line which
the enemy prepared after their feened
retreat from Vilny Ridge. This last
advance, taken Saturday morning, cov-
ers territory to an extent of over 2,-
500 yards and 1,800 yards in depth,
and prepared German poeitions,which
they were confident of holding, are
now firmly in the hands of the Cana-
dians. As would be expected this kind
of fighting entails losses, and the Can-
adians are having quite their share of
them. Their toTal casualties since Eas-
ter Sunday are now estimated at 13,-
000, but fortunately an overwhelming
proportion of these are wounded, and
even the majority of the wounds are
slight eases.
As an evidence of the intensity of
the fighting, not only on land, but in
the air, an official statement reports
that there were 714 aeroplanes
brought down on the Western front in
April. Such eremendous losses have
not been approached since the war be-
gan. In July of last year, when the
Somme offensive began, there were
only 165 British, French and eerman
machines brought down. In August
the losses were 189, and in September
322, This -t6thi of 714 is made up as

Death of a Former Pastor -tett is (Jur
sad ditty this week to make mention
of the death of Rev. D. W. -SS Urqu-
hart, who 'witted away in Collingwood
en Thursday of last week after a long
illness. Mr:Urquhart was well konwn
in this community; having been the
much beloved pastor of St. Andrew's
church, Kippen and Hills Green, and
i
the sympathy of all his friends s ex-
tended‘ to his bereaved widow and
litle daughter and his aged mother and
sisters . °
Death of MTS. Cochrane. -We made
brief mention last 'week of the death
of MTS. Cochrane, a kind and affection-
ate mother and friend who was, called'•
to her. rebt on Sabbath morning, April
22nd. Mrs. Cochrane had been ill
for many months, her trouble baffling
the best of medical skill, and the
tender care of her daughters, Mrs. An-
derson and Mrs Love. She was,
however, a patient saffermenever com-
plaining, and althaugh she was sur-
rounded by everything that, makes life
attractive, she was hilly resigned to
the DivinelVill, whom she had trusted
in the days of her healthandstrength.
Mrs .Cochrate wasborn in York Coun-
ty, in 1840, being the second daughter
of the late William. Blair, who. was
one of the 'first ruling elders of St.
Andrew's church, Kippen, and came
with her parents to the Huron tract
60 years ago,where they settled on the
farm in Stanley justnorth of the vil-
lage and now in the possession of Mr.'
William Cooper. Fifty-five years
ago the deceased was married to the
late Mr. Cochrane, the cerernony be-
ing performed by the late Rev. Ross,
of Brucefield, the young couple going
on a wedding trip to Vancouver, where
they remained some ten years, when
they -returned to this locality. -14.r.
Cochrane taking possession of his
father's farm in Stanley, three miles
west of the village, About 13 years
ago they retired from fanning and
moved to Centralia where they hoped
to enjoy at their leisure the fruits of
their long years of Work. Mr. Code -
ranee however, passed away shortly
after moving to Centralia. Mrs. Coch-
rane was a loving wife, a kind mother
and a most estimable citizen, who was
ever ready, to assist and comfort the
sick, and whose Meld deeds and willing
hands made her beloved by all. She
is survived by a family of one son,
and two daughters, John on the home-
stead' in Stanley, Mrs. George Ander-
son, of Centralia, and Mrs. James
Dive, of Hills Green and also by one
sister, Mrs. Andrew- Bell, sr., and her
departure will leave a great void not
only in theehome circle but in con-
nection with the Presbyteran churcheof
vehich she was a life long xnember.
The funeral services, were held on
Tuesday, interment being made in the
Hilis Green Cemetery, beside those of
her husband and other members of
the family and the esteem in which
she was held was fittingly nanifeeted
by the large attendance at the funeral.
The funeral services, were -COP hided
by the pester, the Rev. Mr. McDer-
mid, of Lucan, assisted by ll,ev. Mr.
Findlay and the pallbearers were
Messrs. C. Cochrane, James love,
Hugh McMurtrie, AllaneCochrate, F.
Farquhar and M. Elliott.
I Death of Mrs. Citdmore.-A cloud
of sorrow has been east over this vi-
cinity by the death of the beloved
widow of , the late William Cudmore,
who was so well known and so highly
respected by all who had the benefit a
her acquaintance, and whose death will
be read with melancholy interest by 80
many readers of The Expositor. Mrs.
Cudmore passed to her rest at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. George
Stewart ,in Crystal City, Manitoba, on
Tuesday, April 24th, in her 72nd year
after an illness of some four months.
She left her home in Exeter at Christ-
mas time to visit with her daughter,
Mrs. Stewart and with other friends
in the west, but had only spent a week
of her much, anticipated visit, and
which she had looked forward to with
so much pleasure, when she was taken
ill, and through ,her long illness, al-
though all that science, • could devise
and loving friends suggest, was done
to avert the fatal blow. Divine Wis-
dom had ordained otherwise, so that
medical aid and love were alike ex-
pended in vain. The remains were
brought east to the old homestead on
the London Road, where Mrs . Cudmore
bad spent 34 years of her married life
and were accompanied by Mr. and
Mrs. Stewart. Mrs... Cudmore's maid-
en name was Louise Phillips, who will
still be remembered by a few of the
older residents of this vicinity and who
came to the Huron Tract 64 years ago
and , settled in Stanley, a couple of
miles tertein the village. She was one
e a family of twelve children, six
brothers and six sisters, and was mar-
ried to her late husband 65 years ago.

live stock market of the week at the
Union Yards to -day. The top price
for cattle was $12.60 for two choice
loads of steers and heifers weighing
over 1300 pound & Another transac-
tion involving high prices was the sale
of al load of butcher cattle at $12.40.
In both cases the quality of the cattle
was, very chisiee. Fairly good but-
chers were steady to firm, and the
tone of the market throughout was
steady at last week's close or fully 25c
above the scale of .prices that were ob-
tained at the beginning of last week.
There was a good inquiry for cows
and bulls of choice quality. The top
price for bulls was $11.25 for an ani-
mal that weighed 1900 pounds. A num-
ber of sales were made at $10.26 to
$10,50, but theeleulk of choice heavy
biills were cashed at s9.50 to $10 25.
Medium and common cows and bulls
were: steady at. last week's close.
Breedy stockers and feeders met a
good enquiry, with prices strong and
unchanged from Thursday's quota -
dons, and in some eases the rnarleet
appeared to have a stronger tone. The
best breedy stockers were cashed at
$9.75 to $10.40. Canners and cuttees
were steady and unchanged. Milkers
and -springers were inactive with the
few sales recorded, showing no ap-
preciable change in the market eince !
the sales made in last week's trading.
The market for hogs was a feature of
strength, with prices on the fed and
watered ;basis- at $16.90- to $1.1`. Phe
lower figure was paid M a few cases in
the earlier trading and the market
firnied up later, with packers paying
$17 fed' and watered and $17.25 off
cars. Allowing a di -Term -dial of 75e to
$1 between the fed and watered price
and the quotations f. o. b. country
points, the latter would be at $15.90
to $16.25. There was a fair run of
hogs yesterday, for the opening mar-
ket of the week, with 1628 on sale,
and buying was fairly active.
Choice calves were waeher to the
extent of 50 cents per cwt. Quotations
were at $11.50 to $12.50. Medium
and common calves were steady at last
weeks prices. Sheep and lamb prices
were steady, with a limited supply
coining on the market. A few spring
lambs are wanted, provided the etial-
ity is choice at $10 to $12 each. There
were hardly enough sheep and lambs
