THE WAR nITUATION , The Britien and French end also the Canadian ` troops are steadily maintaining their pressure on the en- emy on the western front, pressing him baek foot by loot and holding their gains in the -face of tremendu- bus -counter-attacks. The fighting during the early part of the week was in many ease, like that of Jain -week, desperate, and the casualties have been very heavet. Ttre British casu- alties ler the week_ ending last Mon- day were 14,331 *eluding 218 officers and 4421 hien ldiled•and'790 often, and 19,902 men wotmdedtor minting. • Canadians too, have only to look at . the deity 'papers during the lest few days to learn thenfeathd toll that our men are paying., The casualty list, lie matter how -large or how small is 301 a casiralteit list. In thesedays the sacritice is being brought -home to -um more, .perhaps, but always the blow falls on soine one. All we have to put against the 'less of life is the gains ti‘Se leases have made pos- sible and in tbie last offensive t -hey have been very great. Continued gains, no matter how small ;are bound to bring' victory. It is the continual pounding that tells, and the enemy is and hag been receivine -a terrible pounding during thelpast few weeks". , During, the past few days - heavy rain has fallen oa the western front and Weather conditions have praeti- cally stepped any fihfantry advance. - The rest, hoWever, is 'being well ern- - played he consolidating the gains and in. wearing for the next blow. Probably the greatest gains during the week have been'. made by the Ital- fattfi, They fiave'eaikured a strong pesition which dominates the coun- Ly for miles and .have brought their troops up parallel with Trieste, the great Austrian seaport, which is their ultimate objeetive. During the past few days they have also taken ever 25,000 prisoners, which shows more clearly perhaps than the cap- ture of territory the weakening raorale of the enemy. The latest despatches state that Trieste is being evacu- ated by the civil population of the city by order of the Austrian military authorities. On the eastern front fighting still continued, but little real news comes from that quarter. A' report, early, in the week that the coast city of Riga had been captured by the Germans has been proven untrue. which is ably as as good netts as will corae from the eastern front for some time to come, as the capture of Riga would leave the way ta Petrograd almost wideopen and the capture or even. a near approach to a capture of the Russian capital would prove almost a disaster to the cause of the Allies. not because of the loss of the city so Much but because of the great moral effect it would have itt heartening the droop- ing spirits of tlie German army and people, thus postewnitig, their collapse which must inevitably come. President Wilsott of the United States has sent his answer to the Pope regarding the recent peace pro- posals put forward by His Holiness. In his reply Mr. Wilson eraphaticalln declares there can he no peace while the Kaiser rules in Germany. There appears to be no doubt that the Un- ited States was seleeted to raake an swee before the world in advance of the other Allies. Whether the skilled nations will send extensive replies is not known, but it is regarded as prob- able that they will in large measure adopt the President's reasoning for their own and simply send notes endor- sing his stand. The feature of the President's reply which stands out over all is `the cold determination not even to jpermit the subject of pence negotiations to be broached so lone as the evil and dominating forces of militarism control Germany and her Allies, and as one correspondent has, said: "It is not even necessary to read between the lines of the Pres- ident's response to see clearly appar- ent the inflexible purpose." FROM THE DOMINION CAPITAL • What the Conservatives say is that they may lose but they are not going to hand the election to the Grits on a silver platter.. In other words they are going to make them work for it. The other day a cabinet minister was asked when the Military Service Act was going to he enforced.

As death is busyalt the, thee at the fitent it may occur that certain voters disappear before the ballot box gets round. Every soldier is entitled' to a vote and no :doubt he will get', it dead or alive. , • The Borden Government does not view the soldier vete• with -eoraplete confidence. • It will be, hard to take the• vote at, then front. When the shells are flying the returning officer has a habit of returning very quickly to the rear and taking the Wien box with him. Thia.' wasproved in the British Cohnnbia election when vain tweaty per tentof the soldier rite was corralled. • The returning officers made a good argument—they said that it was 'ballots -they *ere taking and that bullets were not in the bar- gain. Another clistrubnag feet ifr that a large majority of the 'soldiers voted against the McBride -Bowser govern- ment which was bedevilling affairslin British Columbia at that time. • If the -same sentiment prevails itt the ranks here and overseas as prevailed a year ago the Borden' Government -could not expect to net snore than „thirty per cent.: of the soldier trete, But Bob Rogers hopes to change all that by stirring' up Quebec and tmek- ing her holler: _ It was in. line with this 'preelotas scheme that Premier Borden read a. document ni the House �f Commons the other day. in which he _denied col- lusion with the Nationalists in outting up' thirty party candidates in Que- bec against the regular Liberal and Conservative candidates. Sir Robert argued that it could not be said that his Governmen,t was in collusion'with the Nationalists ie 194 simply be- cause it was I with them collusion in the year 1911. The document, which is said to have been( written for Premier Borden by Sir Clifford Sift,on wno- is now the chief cook for Sir Robert and head bottle washer for union ,goverament goes on to say that the Nationalists atti- tude ‘nrethis war" is unpatriotic . The word- in this war"—I am •talking of the original document—are in Perna,- mier Borden,. s own handwriting. Sir Robert thus limits the Nationalist lack of patriotism to "this war" When they were helping him in 1911, ,they were of course hightir- patriotic J Sir Robert does not exactly read the Na- tionalists out of the Conservative par- ty but gives them a slap on the wrist. life thinks he can afford to do it be- cause the solid Quebec isn't for, him anyway, At this writing ,it ie. impossible to say just what form the Franchise Act will take but the chances are tat it will net be as controversial as was expected.

It ap- pears that the lake was pretty rough but Mr. MacKay although blind, had no fear of the water, being a strong mid expert swimmer who had always felt himself quite safe, but on that we casion, his heart, which bad not been very strong for some time ,seemed to suddenly fail him while in the water about a distance of 75 feet from the shore and he went suddenly down, be- fore his nephews, Louis and Russel MacKay. or Mr. Garnet Sinallacon.be. who were all itt the water., not far from nine had a chance of rendering him any assistance, ' Itt fact, he dis- appeared betore they realized what had happened and while boats were quickly in search of his body, together with a large number of cities and campers of Bayfield, no trace of his body was found until early the fol- lowing mornieg, -when Mr. Willi-al/a MacKay, brother of the deceased, am companied by his daughter, Miss Lil- lian, in searching nearly a mile iron Deer Lodge Cottage, where they were camping, came upon the body washed up on the bank and on the seine day, Menden, the remains were brought to Mr. MacKay's home here and from where the funeral was held on Thurs- day afternoon last to the Hensel Un- ion cemetery.
