tuU on the side of the aim and the
prospects of Russia suing for a separ-
ate peace seems less real than they
- were a month ago. It is unfortunate,
to say the least, for the cause of the
Allies, that Russia should "fall down
at this time. Had she done her part
on the eastern front there would be
a different tale in the west to -day.
Had sheiput up even a semblance
of it fight Germany would not have
been able to withdraw the million or
so men that she has from the eastern
front and without that million added
against them on the west,- there is no
saying where -the British and French
forces might now be. On the other
hand it gives a good dealofencour-
agement too, because it clearly. shows
that Germany is not the power she
•was a year ago. .It shows that the
Allies are pushing Germany es- she
has never been pushed before. Outside
of the withdrawal of troops from the
eastern front, Germany has `been un-
able tie take e.n3r advantage of the Rus-
sian revolution. A -year ago it is
quite within reason to believe that
Gemany would now be in Petrograd,
had the Russian situation been the
same then as now. Now her hands are
too full on the western front to do
anything but battle fiercelsr against
the French 'and British in the vain
hope of stemming their advance.
Germany has announced her inten-
tion that she will in future prevent
all traffic by hospital shipe in the en-
tire barred zone and in the Mediterean-

• THE WAR SITUATION.
On the British part of the Western
front there has been • comparative
co4et during the week. This don not
mean that operations have been sus-
pended, because a steady pounding of
the enemy positions is maintained at
all times, but little or no infantry ac-
tions have been carried out aThe
withdrawing of immense numbers of
. German troops from the eastern front
for service m
on the west has rimeas-
urably increased Sir Douglas Haig's
task and has made progress slow since
the early days of the big drive. In-
dications, however, point to another
advance in the near future, when the
British artillery have thoroughly pav-
ed the way for the infantry. All the
positions captured from the' enemy
have been consolidated so that when
all is again ready and the guns have
blasted a way the British will take
another bite off the German line and
move forward another step. It is
very slow work, but it is also
sure and the casualties so far have
been remarkably light considering the
advantage gained, and but a small
fraction of those sustained by the Ger-
mans. On the French front the fight-
ing has been much more severe, the
Germans making desperate atempts to
regain their lost positions -positions
which to them are absolutely neces-
sary if they are to be spared another
retreat, but so far every effort has
been futile. The French have establish-
ed themselves so firmly that the Ger-
mans have been unable to shake them
off anywhere, despite the intense fury
of their assaults.
On the Italian front the advanced
commenced a week ago has been re-
marka.bly successful, when it is consid-
ered that advance was made over
sheer, rocky surfaces, without a bit
of cover for their troops and in the
face of fire from the Austrian posi-
tions prepared years ago, their victory
is a trernencluous one. The Italian
guns are now within ten miles of
Trieste, the great Austrian seaport
which is the Italian objective and it
looks at last as if this objective would
be gained. The surest testimony of
the strength of the Italian offensive
is that since the first attack in the
middle of may, their army has captur-
ed 24,619 Austrian prisoners of whom
487 are officers, which is a total of
prisoners equal to that taken by eith-
er the French or British in their of-
fensive on the west in. a considerably
longer space of time. Besides this the
number of guns and the quantity of
war booty captured has been tremend-
nous. The Austrians would seem to
be up against it, at last. At any rate
it is quite evident they will have to go
-under or work out their own salvation.
They can expect no aid from Germany.
She has too much on her hands now in
the west, and sacrificing herself to aid
an ally is not Germany's way of doing
business.
Affairs in Russia are still very un-
settled although there seems to be
some justification for the belief that
things will right themselves in time.
The recently created coalition govern-
ment gives some promise of being able
to control the situation and end the
anarchy which has followed the rev-
olution. The army too, seems to be
intensely loyal to the new government
but the whole number of hospital pat- also tie with bliss B. H. Stewart

William Rivers, of town recently had
the misfortune to fall and break her
hip. Mrs. Hammond is over 83

doubtful. -Mr. John W. Taylor has
received a number of interesting re-
lidts fromi his son,- Gordon, at the
front. Among them were a small
Russian jug of odd design, fragments
of burst shells and a German hel-
met, which he prizes very highly.

Notes. -Mr. William Koehler wears
a smile since his wife presented him
The -Late Robert Andrew Bell. -The
• following despatch from the New Era,
of Victoria Harbor, will be read with
melancholy interest by many in this
section. The deceased was a son of
the late Andrew Belleand besides his
wife and family, he is survived by
his mother, four sisters and three
brothers. The New Era says: "It
was a happy release from a life
of suffering, intensified by his tit-
ter helplessness during the past two
years, when death removed from our
midst, a man well and favorably
known, Robert Andrew Bell, who pass-
ed away at his home here on Thurs-
day last, May 10, after an illness ex-
tending over five years. Mr. Bell was
born in Kippen, Ont., 54 years ago e
He came to Victoria Harbor six years
ago last September. Shortly after
settling here he started to work for
Robt. Ney, contractor, on an addition
to the evelator at Port McNicoll, and
it WalS while working there that he re-
ceived an injury, which ' eventually
made him an invalid for the balance
of his life -he was struck back of the
ear by a piece of rock hurled by a
blast. Two years ago he suffered a
stroke, since which time he has been
nearly helpless. Last year he was a
patient in the Hamilton City Hospital
with a baby boy. -Our, teachers took for three months, where everything
in the 24th at their homes in Blyth possible was done for him. But his

whole community was shocked when
the sad new was received of the death
of Dr. Thomas McQuaid. He was
our school teacher about twenty years
ago and he cultivated the minds of
the young men and women of this sec-

his bereaved wife and two children,
and his brother and sisters. -Mrs. F..

side of her sister, Mrs. Joseph Dant-

all in their bereavement. -A3 we have
been hearing a good deal about large

A Splendid Record In Horse Breed-
ing. -Six years ago, Mr. James Smil-
lie, the well known horse breeder of
the London Road, neardbere, purchas-
ed from Mr. T. J. Berry, the import-
ed .mare, Bloomhill Bess. This ani-
mal now has a splendid record as a
brood mare, having at present six liv-
ing feats. Two years later Mr. Smil-
liepurchased Lady Everest, which has
raised four living colts, Of the ten
foals raised by these two mares, Mr.
Smillie has sold six for record prices,
and still has four left. All of these
colts were sired by King Thomas. This
is another evidence that it pays to buy
ghod Mares and to breed them to good
sires.
Briefs. -With the warmer weather
that we are now -enjoying, coupled
with the continued rains, the field and
garden crops are looking promising
for this season of the year. - Our
Connell have done good work during
the past week in the way of cleaning
and grading main street and if they
will follow it up by oiling the business
portion at least, it will be found a
great improvement on the watering
system as the water is hardly on the
roads, before it is largely dried up
and besides it is too much a drain on
our water supply in the event of a fire
or fires occurring that would need all
the water supply we have at best, and
the conserving of the water is of
paramount importance for fire protec-
tion and besides -the experience of our
teighboring towns and villages in the
matter of oiling the streets is good
and is, we believe, thus far, the only
solution for the dust problem which
with the large use of autos makes the
keeping down of the dust, one of the
most important things that oui Coun-
cil or village have to grapple with.-
Mr. James W. Bonthron is making
good improvements to the dwelling he
recently purchased, both as to the in-
terior and The exterior. -Mr. John

Kaiser, second daughter of Mrs. Kais-
er, of this village and we unite with
their many relatives and friends in

piness .-Rev . J. F. Knight preach-
ed a memorial sermon in the Metho-
dist church on Sabbath evening last,
for the late Pte. Case Troyer, only
son of Mr. Charles Troyer, and who
enlisted here with the 161st Hurons,
and who gave his life for his country
on the battlefield of France. He was
very severely wounded in the first
place, losing his leg through amputa-
tion near the thigh, and the injuries
received and the shock of amputation
was more than his young elastic cons-
titution could stand and despite the
best of surgical treatment and skilled
nursing he passed away. Very much
sympathy is felt for the bereaved
father and relatives. The church was
crowded on the occasion and Mr..
Knight preached a most excellent and/
practical sermon, which is very highry
spoken of. The service of praise was
also in keeping -with the occaeiten and
was well rendered .-The auction sale
of the real estate and personal effects
of the late Mrs .John McFarlane, was
held on Monday last. There was a
large number present and very good
prices were obtained. The real estate
was sold to Mr. Alex Murdoch, who,
we believe, has sold it to Mr. Garnet
Smallacombe. Mr. Benson Phillips
was the auctioneer. -Mrs. J. Knapt,
of London, visited her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Fulton, during the
past week, accompanied by her little
infant daughter. Dr. F. Hamlin, of

Montreal, West End Market, May
of some small lots of extra
choice steers were made at $12.75 to
$13 while ordinary choice sold in full
loads at $12 to $12.25; and picked lots
of the same at $12.50 per cwt. There
were quite a number of well-bred bulls
of choice quality offered, which met
with a fair sale at $11.25 to $11.50,
and a few choice loads of butchers'
cows brought 10.25 to $10.50, per cwt.
The feature of the small meat trade
was the stronger feeling in the market
for calves, and prices advanced fully
$1 per cwt., which was 'due to the
smaller offerings and sales of round
lots of choice stock were made at $11
to $12 per cwt. The tone of the
market for sheep was allo stronger,
and prices scored an advance, with
sales of choice lots of ewes at $12.50.
The trade in spring lambs was quiet
and prices were unchanged at 7e to
$10 each, as to size and quality. In
sympathy with the lower prices ruling
for live hogs at other centres, a weak-
er feeling prevailed, and outside prices
declined 40e per cwt. The demand
from packers was fair, the sales of
selected lots at $17.75 to $18 per cwt.
weighed off cars. There were a few
lots delivered on contracts made late
last week at $18.15 to $18.25 per
cwt. for selected.

Union Stock Yards, Toronto, May
29.-A much smaller run of cattle
caused a stronger feeling in the op-
ening live stock market of the week
yesterday, and all grades of good but-
chers' were advanced from 20c to 30e
per cwt. It was intimated that drov-
ers are showing extreme caution until
the market is on a more stable basis,
on account of some extreme lesses
which were suffered last week. All
good butchers' met a strong market.
The top price was $13 for a few odd
heavy cattle and some choice handy -
weight stock. The top price for a
full load was $12.50, and quotations
for choice heavy cattle was at $11.83
to $12.50, while good heavy steers
were $11.50 to $12. Choice butchers'
bulls sold as high as $10.50 to $11,
and choice fat cows wene over
scales at *10.40 and $10,75, with the
prices going 25c higher in a few cases.
Stockers and feeders continued slow,
and draggy but quotations showed
little change from the markets of last
week.
Hogs were quoted at $16.50 for to-
day's market and only last week's con-
tract hogs were bought at the old
level of $17 fed and watered.
Trade in the small meats depart-
ment was fairly active, with prices
firm. A few choice veal calves sold
up to $14. Sheep and Iambs were
also strong at last week's quotations.
Some representative sales:
Gimrts Ltd. bought 150 hogs, $17
fed and watered, 12 calves $12.50 to
$13.
Matthews -Blackwell bought 225 cat-
