In none of these raids, however, have the .en- emy made the slightest gain. On the other hand the French on their front have penetrated the German positions for a considerable distance and effec- tively killed the attempt of the Ger- man Crown Prince to pierce the French line. At other points along this front the Germans have been try- ing out the Belgians and Americans by Strong attacks, and for a day did succeed against the Belgians, may to be drivea out again after suffering a heavy loss in prisoners and gems. So far the efforts of the Germans to. find a weak .pot on the *Allied front have been without reward, in fact the gain, if any, lias been made by the Allies in every raiding operation commenced by the enemy. From every quarter the report comes that the plans of Germany for the great offensive are completed and the attack iniminent In fact it is reported that neutral re- presentatives; have already been invit- ed by the Germans to view the offen- sive. While all these reports may be true, the fact remains that the German offensive still hangs fire. Why this is so, only the enemy headquarters staff know, but there are several reas- onable suppositions. It is authori- tiveIy claimed that it will cost the Germans a Million men to gain a mile on the Western front. e Such being the case it is quite probable that the great concentration of enemy troops and guns on the Western front, has been for a defensive rather than an offens- ive scheme. All the world knows how cheaply the Getman command bolds the lives of its soldiers, but at the same time the German command prbb- ably knows better than the rest of the world that no matter how willingly they would snuff out a million Ger- man soldiers' lives, they have not the soldiers at their disposal for such a tremendous sacrifice, without the ab- solute assurance that by such a sacri- fice- their end would be attained, which end would. be a German. made peace. Such a peace never will be attaind by the loss of a mile of Allied front, and none better than the war lords know it. Mons, Ypres and oth- er engag-ements have made their teach- ings perfect in this respeet. Another reason why the Germans are delaying in the weet is their desire to launck a great offensive egainst the Italians sinniltaneous with the West- ern push. In fact. it would appear to be their desire to strike a tremendu- ous blow against Italy first. with the hope that in case it proved at all suc- cessfulthe Allies would be forced to h come to Italy's aid, thus weakening e their line on the Western front; in which case the blow on the vmst would be immediately struck with greater hope of initial success. Whatever the case may be, the fact remains, , that the Gerreaes are holding back which is -a sure indication that they are not confident of the outcome, and that they fear the Allied strength. In the fight for the mastery of the air the allied fliers have had wonderful success since the first of the year. The enemy losses in planes destroyed or driven down out of control in Janu- ary were 292; in February, 273; and during the first seventeen days in March, 278. The British Royal Fly- ing Corps alone destroyed 99 planes last week, losing only 23 themselves. This success, especialy itt the west has greatly effected the Work of the Ger- man ertillery, which is probably an other reason why the German offensive is delayed, because without control of the air, an offensive would have to be launched blind -folded. Beer since the commeneement df the war raany hundreds of thousands of tons. of Dutch shippinghas been_lying idle in the ports of America and Brit- ain and their edonies because of the fear that these shipswould be cftP- tured or destroyed br Germany. A week ago the Allies issued an tat, matum to Holland that unless she consented to used this tonnage it would be taken over by the Allies and used in their services compensation to be made for any losses. This has put Holland, which up to the present, has conscientiously tried to follow a neu- tral course, in rather a bad hole. Hol- land's location has made the German menace an ever present one, and, she 1 fears that if she gives assent to the Allieii she will have Germany at her throat. The time limit set for her i answer has been extended until Thurs- day, no previous answer having been received. Holland' has begged that if her consentbe given or her ships be seized that they be not used to trans- port troops and munitions. These conditions, however, were rightly re- garded as those 'Of Germany and net of Holland+ and were refused and now it is up to the little country to say whether she is to side with Ger- many or with the Allies.

The Late JO* Glenn. ----The decea eel John Glenn was born in the Coun ty of Durham in the year 1842, an later with his parents moved to th Tovvnship of Blanchard, where he r ceived his education and later mov to the old Glenn homestead in th township of Usborne. In the yea 1860 he accompanied his father to th Cariboo mines. There were twelve i the party leaving St. Marys and h was the last survivor. Those were th days before the C.P.Re were eve thought of. In order to reach th gold mines a round about way had t be taken, the party leaving St. Mary for New York, where they took th boat, passing through the Gulf o Mexice, through the Isthmus of Pan ama, up the Pacific coast to Vancouv er Island,/ landing, in Victoria, wher they joined a party of surveyor known as sappers land miners. Whe the party was fully made up the set out from Yale, B. C. It wa necessary for each man to carry pack of no pounds of previsions a the cost of flour was $4 a pound, an almost impossible to get, and othe provisions at a similar price. Afte following the trail for 300 miles cross ing the peeks. of the main chain o the Rockies they landed. in the goi diggings known as Cariboo Mines After spending two years there he re turned to resume his farm life dutie at which he was a success,until h retired three years ago to the villag of Hensall to enjoy a well earned rest He was of a kind and loving disposi tion, not seeking public office and man among men; his word being a good as his bond and he lived a lif which was an example to all, being a maze that everyone was the better of knoWing.

Goodfellow, of Toronto; Harold J., of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, Thedford; and Thomas C., of the Do- minion Bank, Toronto.

Union Stock Yards, Toronto, Mar. 19. -Cattle for the Easter trade made their appearance this amorning and met with a strong, active trade. Worn point of view of number the offering was moderato. but the general qual- ity was the best seen in the yards for many weeks. The improvement in the offering helped to give a snap to the trade. A nuenber of baby beeves sold from 13 to 14c, and several loads of extra choice heavy steers met values betwen $12.35 and $12.75. One straight load cashed in at $13. These were exceptionally choice butcher cat- tle and were among the first sent over the scales. The trade was equally keen for good to choice butcbersi at prices 10-4» 15c stronger than last week's close for the same grades, and Ma few cases the advance was nearer 25c. Loads of choice butchers sokl from $11.60 to $12 and kood grade killers from, $11.25 to $11.50. Com- mon to medium butchers met a steady and active trade. Best bulls and cows were firmer, but values for the other grades were unchanged. - With the demand for butcher cattle ssa keen there was little left for the stocker trade, but the loads shipped out . showed the markety firm at last week's quotations. Lambs and calves met a 15 to 25c stronger trade, one lotmf choice black - faced lambs selling. at $20.50. Sheep were firm, with the offering light. - Very -few hogs among the 2500 head unloaded during the week end were on the open market this morning, but for such as were loose the trade was firm to strong. The bulk sold at $20.25 fed and watered,, which was last week's closing price, but as high at $20.40 was paid this morning for small lots.
