If this state of affairs continues it will soon have a far 'reaching effect and although the end of the war is not yet in sight, it wiU certainly have its effect in shortening the strugglei On the French end of the western front the Germans have been striving desperately fier a week to tegaht their lost positions. The Crown Prince's army has launched counter-attack af- ter counter-attack and his men 'have been killed likedlies, but all to no pur- pose. No a foot of ground has been surrend by the French and not a, •German a ier has put his foot in even the line trenches, although thousands ve died in the attempt. Why t,he German general staff con- tinue to sacrifice their men here, only they themeeIves know, but it is gen- erally -surmised among the Allies that it is the fear of a joint French and British offensive. On the British front things have been very quiet but whether it is the calm before the storm, of course we have not been told. It is definitely known, however, that Britadn is main- taining an army of over two million men on this frontand is keeping it constantly up to fill force, so that when the tune for another push comes Gen. Haig and his men will certainly he heard from. second airmaid was made on Lon- don on Saturday 'morning last be- tween nine and 'ten o'clock, when the business seotion of the city was the most, crowded: This is the second raid on Londele-in the past couple of weeks but altlitugh the Gennan con- tingent was 'argon, there ,being over 2.0 machine it is estimated, and they were more 4aring and descended much lower than n June 13th, the number of killed an wounded was much small- er, a1thougI the deetruction of _prop- erty was pr balny flinch greater. The Germans cr ssed over London, from Northwest to southeast, the flight lasting some twenty =mites. All this time they were chased by British airmen and deluged with shrapnel from the anti-aircraft guns, but all escaped destruction. The British, however, did not give up the chase, following tke enemy out to sea, where eventually ten German airmen were brought down. The British were more fortunate, all their machines returning uninjured. The raid caused the death of 37 and the injury of 141 but how it htnnened that more were not killed is a mystery as thousands were in the streets in the bombed area. The lowj altitude and the slow pace at which] the Germans crossed London and the calm way they circled over their ob- jectives has caused great surprise and much comment in England. That they were allowed to do thisAas given rise to some bitter attacha against the aerial defences, somuch in feet that there is likely to be a general shaking up among those in command of this department, On Friday night 84 French 'aeroplanes made a series of raids far into Germany in reprisal et - tacks on open French towns. One raid was made on Essen, where the great Kruen gun works are located and trustworthy reports state that tre- mendous damage was wrought b the rain of en -plosives. By way of Hol- land the news cdmes that a quarter of the great plant was destroyed and the Material damage amounted to mil- lions. THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT An hour after sunrise Friday Morn- ing at the close of .a session that will become historic, the Canadian C0111 - mons declared, by a vote of 118 to 55 that conscription must be put into ef- fect in, the Dornhden to- supply reie- forcements foi the Men at the front. In joining in that decision 26 Liberal members parted company with Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and by their inde- pendent stand in the three leas hi - portant divisions preceding -the second reading they ehowed that the Gov- ernment could rely upon the support of most of them to the end. the first division—that on the Barrette amend- ment to give .the bill a six months' hoist--waa reached at 3 o'clock in the morning. For two hours preceding that the French-Canadian members had held the 'floor, one after another using the opportunity to gethis oppo- sition to the bill upon Hansard. For seven limits a `hundred or more - tators had waited patiently for the test. When the "question" was finally reached and the division bells rang out their call the chamber began to fill up until it'held the biggest gath- ering of Members in recent years. The vote on Ole Barrette amendment, ar- oused very- little interest. The "hoist" was the shift of the French C nservative Nationalist element that did not want to fall tamely in line be- hind Sir Wilfrid Laurier in opposition to the bill. It secured but nine votes, the whole Liberal side with the excep- tion of Honore Achim, the new recruit to anti -conscription, ettfng with the Government. The count showed 165 votes to 9, a majority of 154 against the amendment. Then came the real teste—the vote -upon the Laurier referendum am- endment. Sir Wilfrid was given a round of applause as he stood up, but, as the vote proceeded, the split in the ' Liberal ranks became more and more evident. The vote showed the defeat of the Laurier referendum, amendment by 111 votes to 49, a majority of 62. The second reading of the bill was - almost_ at once proceeded with and this time the Liberal ranks were split wide open. Half a dozen English- spealdng members who had voted with Sir Wilfrid Laurier on the referendum refused to follow him to the lengths of opposing the bill. . Twenty-six of them threw theimvotes to the Govern- ment to make un the total of 118 votes for the measure. The antis polled 55 votes, of which about a dozen were French-Canadian Conservatives and Nationalists. The following Liberals voted for the second reading of the bill: Messrs. Pardee, Guthrie, Carvell, MacLean (Halifax), Cruise, Charlton, Turriff Graham, Duncan, Ross, Nesbitt, Mc- Millan, MacNutt, Buchanan, Loggie, Brig .-Gen . McLean, McCraney, Clark, (Red Deer). Sinclair, Champagne, German, McCoig,Neely, Levi Thomp- son, Truax, Douglas, Knowles. The following Conservatives voted against the second reading: Pate- naude, Descarries, Forget, Paquet, Girard, Boulay, Guilbault, Bellemare, Barrette. Seven of •the 26 Liberals who sup- ported the bin, Messrs. Knowles, Thompson, McMillan, Truax, McCoig, German Sinclair, voted for the refer- endum. The other nineteen voted with the Government. THE WAR SITUATION. Russia is proving that her awaken- ing is not a flash in the lien, but the real thing. Following their successes of hist week, they are steadily press- ing back the German -Austro armies on the eastern front with Lemberg as their objective. On Tuesday they captured Halicz the strategic key to Lemberg, and a very important rail- way centre, after desperate fighting . - They have penetrated the German line to a depth of over 11 miles on this front and the enemy were forced to retire so rapidly that large amounts of guns and military_stores could not be moved and have fallen into the hands of the Russians. From July 2 to July 8 the Russians have taken 14,000 prisoners and 55 guns,of which 12 are heavy pieces. During the past two days their offensive has con- tinued in spite of energetic resistance and counter-attacks of the Germans. Additional villages have been captured and on Tuesday over 1,000 additional prisoners were taken. Russian cav- alry is now pursuing the retiring array and the dem.oralized Austrians are lite terly unable to stem the advance. These successes are having a wonder- ful effect on the Russian people throughout the new Republic and is greatly stiraulathig the war spirit so muchi so is this the case that the war GOOD MEANS 'TO PROMOTE TRADE. • The following article from the July Shoe and Leather Journal, a trade magazine published in Toronto, is so absolutely true and applicable, to not only the retail merchants in this line, but to all others, that we publish it below. The Journal says:. "This journal has through its col-, UMW from time to time advocated this co-operation with the local paper as the best means of promoting the general trade of the country and has consistently urged dealers to do their Part along this line toward increasing the consumption of native products, Too Many retailers are content to sit down and take what -Providence sends them in the way of trade. The manu- facturer or jobber who did this would soon be without a business. At this time it is particularly necessary to tell people what to buy. This policy of using the local paper is also the best means of counteract- ing the competition of departmental ancl.mail order houses who are able through their huge announcements in the city papers to create the trade to which they are justly entitled. If local merchants did more advertising and less whining about dePartmental stores there would be less to whine about, This journal, as well as other trade journals, has always sought to er.courage active co-operation be- tween the local merchant and his pap- er, both by preparing special adver- tising matter for local use and. repro- ducing specimens of the best work a- long this line by live retail merchants throughout the country. The bright- est and most successful men in the business today are those who have built up their trade through local ad- vertising." FROM THE DOMINION, .CAPIT.A.L The general opinOn her is that Food Controller Haa's opening re- marks contain a good deal of the east wind. His advice is to grow more and eat less. This has always been good advice. It is in line with Fin- ance Minister White's preachments in regard to thrift and production. The bulk of the people of Canada being city dwellers are not in a -posi- tion to grow more but they.have cer- tainly eaten less and less ever since the war started. The dollar has shrunk and the larder with it. There is little doubt that Food Controller Hanna's advice to eat less will be gen- erally followed. He can rest assured on that point. When FoodController Hanna was ap- pointed there was an idea afloat that controllership might extend to prices -- that he would suggest or adopt measures that would bring down the cost of living. But it seem e that his activities are to take a different slant. What he is going to control is our. appetites. As Mr .Shakespeare says, we are to be satisfied with bare neagination of a feast. In other words, this hearty nation ef meat -eat- ers is to be put off with spinach and green stuff. And the spinach woeth its weight in silver at that. The food controller advises us to eat the. more perishable things like vege- tables and fruit. This is very much like Marie Antoinette's advice to the starving people of France. When she was told that they cried for bread she asked why they did not eat cake. TEE 111M014 EXPOStrOlt stsiienakiisadithirty- whenaintome:acryvoundforo;sbaht 'at lifty, Food 'Controller Hanna asks why we doneat turnips et tencent each. If Feed Controller' Hanna has- n't learned it already soniebodY ahould 'lint hint wiati to the fact that vege- tebles are a great luxury in this coun- So .are, fruits. Even at the War price of tvtenty-five cents a doz- en bananas imported from the West Indies, sifter paying freight hi SOS and rail, are cheaper' than our home- grown apple. Owing to the enliglite end . endeavors of a few middlemen vegetables and fruit are as dear rela- tively as meat, bacon and eggs. Food Coiittoller Henna is recom- mended to Study the behavior of the common or garden potato since the war began.IA more shameless ex- ample of exploitingiente of the com- monest necesearies of life cannot be cited. With two million bashele u(& surplus over all home and export needs potatoes rose to six dollars a bag. The Food Controller gives a long list of things we ought to do without,— wheate meat, fish, Cheese, beanscan- ned and evaporated food. He would confer a reabenefit on the Citizens of Canada if he would provide another list of things that we can do with. Mr. Ilianna's list of exteptions in- cludes nearly evemithing on the table &it makes a meal worth eating. One observes that he even takes away our beans—the sure foundation of the quick lunch restaurant. What are We to do without our beans? Ai the Poet Milli, of all sad Words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, we might .have beans only Food Controller Han- na. says we mustn't. • Food Controller Hanna tells us to go short on fish.. This will be no great hardship because fish have Jong been a luxury even for the rich especially in inland cities.. Where, as in To- ronto, it happens that there is a plentiful supply of fish at one's very doorse-the Niagara herring is a famous delicacy—we find that it is all sold to the United States. As for cheese it has become such a precious thing that poor people gave it up long ago.. Bread has also become very dear owing to the sticceseful efforts of the millers to boost flour to sixteen dollars a barrel. The food of love was once bread and cheese and kisses. All most folks can afford now ire. the kisses. They remain cheap and plen- tiful to a certain extent satisfactory: though not replete with ncrurislupent. Food Controller Hanna will probably issue another statement to the effect those those who used .bread and cheese and kisses as a working diet should shift to strawberries, which are a de- lectable fruit with a fine diuretic ef- fect. The only objectibn to them is the price. They will probably be two boxes for a quarter this summer and the season is short and the boxes have high bottoms. - What will we do when the straw- berries are gone? Well, the apple will eome in if the middlemen will let it. It will come in by degrees. It will cost perhaps a cant at the height. of the apple season and three cent e a- round Christmas when the coy cold -storage crop comes out. Millions of bushels of apples will probably rot on the ground. The people will not get them at any price. It would spoil the market for the choicer trade. So far the egg has not been mention- ed in any of Food Controller Hanna's' list, but the egg is a great factor and I would advise FoodCoptroller Hanna to keep : a sharp' eye on it. Just now the Canadian hen is lled with enthus- iasm for Canada anl the British Em- pireand the cause o democracy and is laying eggs like in d for Sir Jciseph Flavelle and others o his tribe to • put away for Christina', Filen they will eaily'emerge a della a dozen. Every egg has its day an Sir Joseph and hi friends so mana e that the egg's day is ;Christmas or thereabouts when everybody is so full of peacefel feel- ing that the dollar dozen eggs gets by without too mu h fuss. At the same time I think t at the hen gets a raw deal. She has 1 the toil and par- turient pains and ir Joseph has all the money. This s not an even break. It goes 'without ying that the egg was cut out by mot people long be - fere Food Controlle Henna -took -held. He will not need to , la our extrava- gance in that dir. tion. Anybody •who has an egg no treats it more as a heirloom than as . article of food. They have become s scarce and dear that people in diff ent parts of the country write to ach other about meeting an egg or o as if it were a great adventure. Of course vegeta , es and fruits are very dear in vrinte . Even the can - tiled stuff is peohibi ve. The Food Controller [sloes not • uch this branch of the subject. " t about the green stuff he rec, mmends, when a white 'mantle of now covers the ground. What is t e cheap, plentiful and cony,enient for of green stuff which may be used instead of some- thing to eat? The nly thing that oc- curs to my mind i hay—preferably baled hay. Horses and other of 'he enimals eat it raw b tit can prehably be made more pa table for human beings by proper eatinent. Indeed the story goes that e Department of Agriculture will pres ntly issue a little pamphlet entitled 0 e Hundred Ways of Cooking Hay. This ought to help some. At all events it will help just about as nauCh as Food Contv !ler Hanna's -advice to eat less. it's if we didn't all have to eat less when it takes more money to buy it? • CROMARTY Notes.—Mrs. A.
