THE WAR SITUATION°
The great German offensive on the
western front is still i:a the air, al-
though along the whole line of battle
hostilitiee continue to be carried. out
by meana of the big guns of the enemy
and by raiding operations. 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.

stortn of November, 1913. Fish that
are being. caught are found to have
oats in their mouths. As several grain
boats were wrecked somewhere along
this shore on that occasion, it is con-
jectured that this may explain where
the 'fish got the oats. Further inves-
tigation may yield interesting results.

and 200 calves.' The trading was very
brisk and a fair market for nearly
all lines was noted. Some of the
small meats were not very plentiful,
notably calves, and prices in this line
were firmer. The quality of the cat-
tle on the market was pretty good
and quite a few lots of good stock
were in evidence. Hogs were in fair
clemdled and sold at steady Prices, with
firmeihtone.

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.
