has exceeded its own highest records.
The effeet upon the enemy Is terrify-

Nothing can be said, of course, about

BONAR LAW'S STATEMENT
PLEASES THE FRENCH.
A despatch from Paris says: The
greatest interest has been „roused
here by Bonar Law's statement to Le
Matin that the British army is com-
pletely in accord with Gen. Joffre
and is prepared to move whenever the
French Headquarters Staff sees fit.
The statement finally nails bhe lie that
the British are indifferent to the
French losses before Verdun. The
press expresses much satisfaction
over Bonar Law's frank statement.
From the outset the military author-
ities here have insisted that it would
be playing Germany's game for the
British to move before thepsycholo-
gical moment, and they have scouted
the anti-British rumors as idle or ma-
icious gossip. Bonar Law's statement
will go far to reassure them..

LLOYD GEORGE CHOSEN

A despatch from London says: The
Morning Post's political correspondent
says: "It has been decided that Mr.
Lloyd George is to succeed Lord
Kitchener as Secretary for War.
There remains to be settled the rela-
tions of the new Minister to the Muni-

the two offices will not be combined,
in which case it will be necessary to
appoint another Minister of Muni-

Robertson, member for the Tyneside .
Division of Northumberland, and in-
cluding other members- of the House
of Commons and economists, to in-
vestigate the rise in the prices of com-
modities and recommend remedial
measures.
A despatch from Calgary says: The
Calgary School Board decided on
1 Tuesday night not to re-engage any
members of its staff at the close of
i their engagement, June 30th, who are
unmarried, of recruitable age and
without valid reasons for not enlist-

the chief recruiting officer for the
Province are to be judges of their

An Annoying Practice.
Judge Campbell Flournoy, formerly
of Kentucky but now of Washington,
was making a horseback tour through
the mountains of his state once upon
a time, when a shaggy hillsman rode
!down a creek and joined him. As they
jogged along side by side, the native,
after asking the stranger's name and
business, volunteered some in£orma-
tion touching upon himself,
"I oughter be plowin' nay sawn," he
said; "but I jest natchelly felt like I
had to ride down to the county seat
to -clay. Them pesky fellers down thar
have -fotched up a lawsuit agin me and
I gob to go see about it"
"What's the lawsuit about?" inquir.
ed the judge.
"Hit's about my father -in -]acv. They
fotched hit up agin me on account of
my killin' him with a double-barrel
shotgun here about two weeks- ago,
That's the third lawsuit they've fetch-
ed up agin me fur shootin' somebody;
and I'm a-gettin' mighty tired of it,"
Next day when Judge Flournoy
dropped into the courthouse he found
the object of litigation on trial upon
an indictment alleging murder in .the
first degree:
