MAY RELEASE DAC'IA.

French Government ,challenges the

It was learned that a requeskf'or

that while she is out on band she
avill not engage in trade with Ger-

but will be employed on routes en-
tirely different from those used by
her when she was under the Ger-

A despatch from Ottawa says:
Statements that the Militia, Depart
meat would shortly call for volun-
teers for a fourth Canadian contin-
gent designed eventually for the
front are not quite in accord with
the facts. There will be no fourth
contingent, .so-called, ,aud no third

forcements will be sent forward
steadily to fill the gaps in the Can-
adian lines. While these will be

Still a Possibility
A despatch from Landon says:
The Marquess of Crewe, Lord of the

of the volunteer training corps
which has been raised for home de-
fence, said that while there was a
possibility of ,a hostile landing in
England, this was eson-idered more
likely some mon& ago than flow,
There was no telling, he added,
what form the latest stages of the
war might take or to what devices
or straits Germany's desperation
might drive her. Therefore, he
said, it would be unwise to dismiss
from eonsidel•atton the possibility
that a hostile force might land in
no great numbers. but in sumeient•-
ly formidable force to make a'
strong resistanee necessary- and
possibly the invoking of the assis-
tance of the volunteers.

LLIED FLEETS SUFFER LOSS'.
very One of Ten Ships Hit In Sharp Fight With
Dardanelles Forts
A deslatclt from London says:
The Admiralty announced Friday
night that the British battleships
Ocean and Irresistible and the
hrenct t
Lot.
tI battleship t Bouvet struck
I
drifting mines in the Da3danelles
and were sunk. Most of the men
on the Bouvet were lost, but nearly
all the erews of (the British war-
ships were saved.
This is the most serious lass nus-
tained by the Anglo-French fleet
under Vice -Admiral Carden, which
has been bombarding the straits
intermittently for more than two
months and has been increased
until it is now the most powerful
aggregation of fighting ships ever
assembled for war purposes. The
three ships went down during a
furious ,cannonading inside the
straits, just outside the Narrows,
in which 16 battleships participated
in relays. The big British .battle
cruiser Inflexible and the French
battleship Gaulois were put out of
commission temporarily by lucky
shots from the Turkish forts,
The vesselsdestroyed will not, it
is stated by the Admiralty officials,
interfere with the Dardanelles op-
erations in the slightest. The lost
ships will be replaced and the•Iat-
tack on the forts will be 'carried on
until the strait is passed. Naval
experts say that both France and
Great Britain expected to pay a
big price for the possession of Con-
stantinople and that the general
scheme discounts even greater
losses.
Menaee of floating Mines, -
The mines in the Dardanellee
have proved a much greater menace
to the allied fleet than the numer-
ous
naval fot�
r ,�. and naval authori-
ties
have predicted that as soon u
the strait was -cleared of that dan-
ger. the passage .seduld soon be
forced. Grimsby trawlers and
French fishing boats have been sant
to the scene in large numbers, and
have been engaged night and day,
in sweeping the eltannels clear- At
one time the task was, almost corm-;
{ plated, but recently the Germans
and Turks have adopted the plan -
of launching floating mines, which'
come down against the ships with,
tremendous force, swept at the rate;
of nearly ten miles an hour by the
strong current from the Sea of
Marinora,
ICephez Forts Silenced.
The Kephez forts replied strongly'
when the battleships advanced fir-,
ing .up the Dardanelles and all the:
ships were hit. It is asserted that
these forts finally were silenced and
a bombardment of those in the
Narrows was under way when the
three battleships struck the mines)
The blowing up of, the ships did
not cause =a ;cessation of the fight-'
ing, which con.tinu•ed until darkness
intervened.
"It is officially confirmed that a
Russian squadron bran approached
the northern part of the Bosphor-
us," says Reuter's Petrograd cor-
respondent. "The appearance of a
the squadron caused a great panic
in Constantinople."
Zeppelin Killed Seven,
But Missed Station
A despatch from Calais says: A
shower of shrapnel from French
artillery greeted the Zeppelin
which raided this city Thursday
night and dropped bombs which
killed seven persons without dam-
aging the railroad station at which
they were aimed. The characteris-
tic throbbing of the Zeppelin's en-
gines gave warning of the airship's
approadh between midnight and 1
a.m,
The :rays of ,powerful seaohlights
were turned upon the clouds in an
effort to looate the aerial invader,
but the German craft flew high
above banks of dark clouds and for
some time was invisible. Finally,
however, it same into view and the
artillery was trained upon the air.
ship. Notwithstanding the bom-
bardment, it dropped` several
bombs, which missed their target,
and then made off as rapidly as
possirble.
