Germans Said to Be Planning an Eastern Offensive. LONDON, April 11,—Despatches from Petrograd forecast a serious German effort in Courland. Large troop movements have been noticed by Russian aviators ---a constant stream of trains bound for the Cour land bases, accompanied by big parks of new artillery. These forecasts are regarded as more than plausible be- cause of the situation of the German armies on the Russian front. No line in the east less easily de- fended could have been selected by the German staff than, the one pee*. pied by the German armies from the Gulf of Riga to Volbynia. Lzce$t for the field railways built, stnee their offensive was stopped last SOQ- tember, the entire line from "I>wfhF to the Galician frontier' is without railway support. The nearest sub- stantial defensive line in the rear is, that of Brest -Litovsk, 75 milgal a+Rsi4. Almost in sight of the trench line, however, is the Riga-Dv1nak-lto ne railroad. By it, cut only from Vila._ to Lida, Russian troops and can be moved from one end of the front to the other wheawer dimger threatens. Nowhere is the Russian army more than a day's z .th front this'element of support. Pushed be- hind the railway the Russian fortes would be in as difficult a position as the Germans are to -day: for the dos - eat lateral rail line would be more than 150 miles in their rear. O advantage of terrain at ptaseat lies' with, the Russians. Furthermore. more. they are nearer to their =vessels and their main supply depots than the Germans, so that in any general en- gagement the odds are strongly int their favor. This fact, however, can- not be exp ected to deter the German command from seeking a decision. It is obvious, despite their initial handicap, that ter a aneeeraftil de- fence of their eastern line the Ger- mans must obtain control of Rtga- Rovno railway. This means the cap- ture of Riga, Dtinsk, and Minsk. It is regarded as certain, then, that in' the next few weeks Field Marshal von Hindenburg will make another and more determined effort to Cover the ten and twenty miles that eep- arate him from cosnparatiRvely easy defensive positions.. iYNOPSIS OF CANADIAN NORTH WEST LAND REGULATIONS THE sole head of a family, or any mal. over 18 years old, may homestead, . ,tuarter-section of available Oominl io,t land in ikdanitoba, Saskatahetdan oris Alberta The applicant must appear' in perso . at the Dominion Lands ency of Sub -Agency for the Dis- trict.

LONDON, April 11, London wit- nessed yesterday one of the old "suf- frage rows" so familiar before the war. Trafalgar Square, the scene of such memorable events as the arrest of Mrs. Pankhurst several years ago, was again the centre of the fire- works yesterday.. Sylvia Pankhurst's east -end suf- frage organization bad announced a meeting of protest against the De- fence of the Realm Military Service and Munitions Acts. A large mixed crowd of soldiers and civilians gath- ered on the square long before the hour of the meeting. When the pro- cession finally arrived, the paraders were greeted by derisive shouts, groans, and laughter. Red and green banners whipped jubilantly into the air by the marchers were torn to shreds, The police were forced to make a way for the demonstrators, who in- cluded several women speakers who clambered for the plinth of Nelson's column, Sylvia Pankhurst had hardly opened the show when a bag of yellow powder burst on her head. She went to the other side of the plinth, but was similarly greeted there. Then a fusilade of bags with red and yellow powder burst upon the woman, smothering their hair and clothes. The police prevented the crowd from rushing the plinth, but were powerless. A man broke through the police line and clambered to the plinth and then walked among the speakers calmly emptying his powder bags on. their heads. Two policemen tried to capture him. The police line was broken and there ensued a series of scuffles around and upon the Plinth of the Nelson column. ALIENS TO AID FARMERS. Arrangements Are Made for Tempor- ary Release of Prisoners, WINNIPEG, April 11.—A meeting', in connection with the proposal to release a large number of interned aliens from detention camps in order that they may aid farmers in the op- erations of the present year was held on Saturday afternoon in the office of the Commissioner of Immigration, .7. Bruce Wacker. Those present at the conference .included Major-General Sir William D. Otter, K.C., who is in general charge of the detention camps of the Dominion; officials of the `C.P.R., C.N.R., Bankers' Associa- tion, and Grain Growers' Association. It was arranged that as the list of available men, in the camp at Bran- don was exhausted, special trains would be operated from Cochrane west, and if necessary 2,000 men would be brought from the camps near that place to Brandon. The cost of this transportation may be borne by the Federal Gogernment. Farmers using this labor will be required to take each man for a period of seven months, to pay the current rate of wages, and to repot once a month to the commandant of the camp. •erromm.•4MMWOO 0 0 0MMMP OWWWW.• a. ammo.•. mrsomp...IIW1WW•GO-- •.••MY••D 0 0411MWMP•.OOMM0.• 1 F 7 4 - d ash THE BEAUTY OF SUNLIGHT is that every garment washed with it bears the impress of, purity; a purity 'begotten of sweet, cleansing oils, and maintained by absolute clean- liness in manufacture; a purity exalted by the co-operation of workers united for the purpose; a purity demonstrated by the "$5,000 guarantee" which rests upon every bar of SUNLIGHT SOAP, substitute for Sunlight is not as good and never can be.

BERLIN, April 11.--A successful attack by four German seaplanes on a Russian aviation station; on Oesel Island, at the entrance to the Gulf of Riga, is announced in an official statement yesterday by the chief of the Admiralty staff. The statement says: • "On April 8 few •;naval planes at- tacked:, the . ,Russian aerodrome at Pa.ppensholm, near Kielkond, : on sOeseli Island 's`'fTwenty bombs were dropped, .Two enemy., aeroplanea- which rose• were forced to descend. Ln. spite o! .Ilea anti-aircraft Are our aeroplanes' return safely.'" I fo ductioi ardlhrift CANADA from her abundance can help supply the Empire's needs, and this must be a comforting thought for those upon whom the heavy burden of directing the Empire's affairs has been laid: Gain or no gain the course before the farmers of Canada is as clear as it was last year—they must produce abundantly in order to meet the demands that may be made, and I believe this to be especially true in regard to live stock, the world's supply of which must be particularly affected in this vast struggle. Stress and strain may yet be in store for us all before this tragic conflict is over, but not one of us doubts the issue, and Canadians will do their duty in the highest sense of that great word."—HON. MARTIN BURRELL, Mimi -ter of Agriculture„ . „•A if u MODERN war is made by resources, i i money, by foodstuffs, as well as by men and by munitions. While war is our first busi- ness, it is the imperative duty of every man in Canada to produce all that he can, to work doubly hard while our soldiers are in the trenches, in order that the resources of the country may not only be conserved, but increased, for the great.struggle that lies before us. ' Work and Save' is a good motto for° War -time." -SIR THOMAS WHITE, Minister of Finance. THE CALL. OF EMPIRE COMES AGAIN IN 1916 TO CANADIAN.
