THE WAlt SITUATION.
Through the continuous heavy fight-
ing of tbe past week the Allied armies.
bane more than held their own. Al-
most the witole western front has been
witnessing unending fighting. The
Germans have never ceased to counter-
attack and have been throwing in
fresh battalion after battalion, only to
take them out again in a day -or so
as decimated units. They have been
driving their men to slaughter and
spilling blood as only German officers
can and yet in spite of these sacri-
fices their gains have been nil. • The.
British headquarters staff, on the
other hand, have refused to sacrifice
• their men in attacks of this
• kind, but day after day they have
been Ring along taking a bite here
and a bite there until they have new
eaten into and through the Hindenburg
line and, are threatening the positions
, beyond.
The situation in Russia is still very
unsatisfactory and is causing the other
Allies a good deal of uneasiness.- Al-
• though the men now at the head of
the provisional government of • the
country,: who are among the most,
able in Russia and staunch supporters
of the Allies, so far have beeu able to
• keep a semblance of order and their
armies in tie field; their task has been
almost a super -human one and what
theend will be, no one can say. The
Russian populace heretofore, has al-
ways been a docile, patient and
although, an illiterate one, or perhaps
because of their illiteracy most amen-
able to discipline. Since the revolution,
however, the country has become dis-
organized until the peopleihave almost
essurnecl the aspect and proportions
of a mob without a leader. Their
whole mode of life for generatiems
back, has unfitted them for their new
found freedom. They are more line
children, veered first one-way and. then
another. If they can only be
brought to the view of the pres-
ent Russian Government and be con: -
tent to be directed by it all will be well
but at present it looks very much as if
German intriguers were already get-
ting in their work of advocating for a
separate peace. Certain it is that dis-
organization in Russia has ceased to
make her army a factor in the fight-
ing, and has enabled Hindenburg to
withdraw some 700,000 men from the
eastern front to fight in the west. If
is these new troops that the German
general staff have been sacrificing so
recklessly in the massed formation
counter-attacks they have been sus-
taining during the week, because eyith-
out new forces from some scnfrces
it is very doubtful if they could have
sustained the tremenciuous effort. Now
that this effort has in every case prov-
ed futile it would seem quite possible
that the German Army are ?bout
ready for an early and further retreat.
The report of the losses from sub-
marines is a moat favorable one again
this week, the number of ships tor-
pedoed being much below the average,
while thenumber of ships reported es-
caping attack is very large. A still
more encouraging feature is that more
submarines have been sunk during
the past week than in the month pre-
vious.

Montreal, May 15 -At the Montreal
Stock Yards (west end market), an
easier feeling developed for cattle to-
day and prices generally ruled 25e
per cwt. lower than a week ago. A few
loads of choice steers changed hands
at $12 per cwt. and small lots at $12.-
25 to $12.50. Some choice bulls sold
at $11,25 to $11.50. Sales of some
fair size lots of canning cattle were
made at $7 to $7.50.
Spring lamb prices declined $1 to
$2 per head, due to the very limited
demand for them, because butchers
generally have still fair supplies of
frozen stock on hand. A few spring
Iambs sold at from $7 to $10 each as
to size and quality. The trade in
sheep, yearlings and calves was active
and steady. The demand for hogs
was good and prices were firmly main-
tained, with sales of selected lots at
$17.75 to $18 per cwt, weighed off
cars.

Union Stock Yards, Toronto, May 15.
-To-day's offeripg of 3,460 cattle was
the largest at tha market this year.
Many loads of good butcher steers and
heifers were included, but the trade
was slow throughout. Heavy eattle
were practically ignored for a time,
but later fourd buyers, but never
et any time was the activity cf •a
week ago apparent. The best cattle
on sale found values between $12.15
and 12.50, and, quality considered,
the market was a shade easier than
at the inlose of last week. For this
the exceptionally heavy run was chief-
ly the blame. Choice nutchc-rs sold
from 311.50 to $11.75, with a few
loads of nice mixed killers at $12.
All grades of catee with the exception
of fat cows and bulls and canners were
inclined to weakness at the close, when
several loads of killers were left -un-
sold.
Milkers and springers were in, fair
demand at steady prices, with the
strongest call! for good animals, but
stockers and feeders were quiet.
All small meats were active and
steady to strong at last Thursday's
quotations. Another effort was made
to vat hog values, but it did not suc-
ceed, the light offerieg sellirig at last
Week's general closing price of $17 fed
and watered. The receipts were 180
cars, with i3,460 cattle, 416 calves, 861
hogs and 141 sheep and lambs. Frank
Heneisett bought 100 butcher cattle
at $11 to $12.
