*****************:
* War' Review Lk
*ot the Week
*******************
EVENTS
are now moving swift
ly in the Great War, Durtn9
the spring of 1916 more his-
tory will pass through the
newspapers than M the 'coin
tui peat. Three great powers are
hammering at the hitherto impreg•
nablo water -gates of Constantinople,
the British are bearing down on the
Gertnan legions in Flanders, The
French are rapidly clearing their way
to the Rhine and the Russians are
flooding into Hungary,
The most significant news of the
past week is hard to choose, but from
the point of view of history it is
probably the official announcement
from Petrograd an Sunday that thtl
Russian Black Sea fleet bad begun
the bombardment of the Uospllorus,
the eastern waterway leading to Cone
stantinople. Simultaneously with this
Game word that the attack of the
allied fleet on the Narrows of the Dar•
daneites had been resumed. A come
ler from the Turkish capital says the
city is skew resigned to Its fate and
the Porte has issued proclamations
to the people telling them of the corn,
Ing of the foreign battleship as if it
were all a friendly affair. Great fear
of Cbristian massacres are feared in
Turkey in Europe. In the meautime
the Germans in Turkey are bending
every effort to make the best of a
desperate job. Von der Goltz and
Von Sanders are striving to buy the
neutrality of the Balkan States, and
German naval officers are working
night and day to tit the disabled cruis-
er Goeben for service. At the same
Ulna comes a report from Sebastopol
that the cruiser Breslau has been
ruined by a mine.
The French have not only won
Hartmanns-Weilerkopf, a command-
ing height to the east of Thann, in
the Vosges, for which they and the
Germans had been fighting for sev-
eral days, but in -the midnight report
from Paris Sunday night it was stat-
ed that they had consolidated their
position. The Germans did not yield
possession of this dominnating posi-
tion on the foothills of the Vosges
without a prolonged struggle and ser-
ious loss. The French took six un-
wounded officers and 387 unwounded
men "besides numerous wounded."
In the Berlin report of Sunday night
it is stated that only artillery duels
took place Sunday on Hartmanns•
Weilerkopf, If the French are able
to plant heavy artillery upon the post -
tions they Dave secured they should
greatly strengthen their grip of the
region and open the way toward the
Rhine. From Thann to the Rhine by
the main road, which passes through
Cernay and Muhlhausen, is only 22
miles, and most of the distance is
downhill. The importance of these
operations cannot be over-estimated,
The best military authorities believe
that it is in this district of Upper
Alsace that Joffre will seek to cross
the Rhine in force, and not farther
north, where the river becomes wider
and the banks more steep.
France owes ber success to the Al-
pine chasseurs, who, beginning their
attack last Tuesday in the face of tre-
mendous artillery fire, took line after
line of the trenches on the range.
The lower positions were carried by
Wednesday, but there remained the
crest of the huge mass, situated about
3,500 feet above the valley of the
Rhine. Upon the summit was a large
body of the famous Fifteenth corps
of the German army, who used much
artillery an every device known in
modern warfare to thrust back the
ehasseurs, including burning liquid
sprayed upon the advancing French.
From Wednesday till Saturday the
struggle continued, until finally the
tri -color floated on the topmost point
of the range.
From Petrograd comes a despatch
to The London Daily Telegraph stat-
ing that the Austrian army is rapidly
wearing away, and that during the
past two weeks, apart from the great
number taken at Permysl, 3,000 Aus-'
trians daily have been captured by
the Russian armies operating in the
Carpathians and in Bukowina. The
advancing Muscovites are now well
over the summit of the Beskid range,
the western part of the Carpathians.
The retreating Austrians set fire to
the village of Zboro, only six miles
north of Bartfeld, which is the north-
ern terminus of the railway to Buda-
pest. From Bartfeld to the capital of
Hungary as the crow flies is 130
miles, but the region is mountainous
for a considerable part of the way.
They should be in effective occupation
of BartfeId within a day or two.
In Bukowina the Austro -Germans
are putting up a very strong defence.
The waters of the Pruth are greatly
swollen, and the Russians will not be
able to cross and begin the reduction
of Czernowitz until the floods sub-
side.
Affairs in Poland are quiet. The
Germans are still bombarding Osso-
wiec north of Warsaw, but without
effect, owing to the superiority of the
Russian guns, There is no develop-
ment at present t9 cause a diversion
from the Russian advance foto Hurt-

Canadian casualties have been con-

A New Rain .
The British navy has developed a
new type of mine, which, according
to The Scotsrean, marks a new e..
In. this branch of warfare. The Ger-
man and French floating mines have
hot presented such a very difficult
problem, because it has been cern-
paratively easy to sweep them up, ow.
Ing *to their suspension tackle. The
new British mine has no Hoots and
no tackle. it can be ejected from a
torpedo tube or incontinently thrown
overboard. If deahed, it can be set
to rest on the sea floor until the

As soon as the mine, floating tree,
reaches a certain depth there is set

Letter from the Front
The following letter was •received by
Mr. Herbert Frost firm his brother.
who went with the Duke of Con-
naught's Own Rifles, Vancouver.
France, March 13.b, 1915.
Dear Herb:—
Hope these few lines will find you
and L and family in the best of health
WeII we have just been here a little
oyer a month and have had our share
of the firing line, having been in the
front trenches three times, we go in
for—days, and then are relieved
by another battalion of the same brig-
ade and so on. The first time we were
in with one of the regular regiments
who put us wise as to what to do, this
was ti. good idea and worth a whole
lot of lectures. Then after that we
marched away and our people took
over a whole line of trenches relieving
several regular battalions who have
since, stormed and captured some
good positions from the Germans,
taking a lot of prisoner?, so you see
what we have helped to do. The
morning that this one job was pulled
off was lively for us, as the al tillers
ie our tear shelled the Getman trench
e end we loop -haled the parapet t f
our trench and poured in our rifle fire
into any breach that wee made by
our shells, as we expected that they
might make a counter attack on us,
but much to our disappointment they
did not, we wished they would, t ben
we Would have shown them that Can-
adians too can fight, but, our time may
r•.rne when the big sweep forward
rumes and I dnu'ts., think this will he
very long as the roads and • country is
di ying up so as to enable guns and
ttan'port to move forward. The
trenehee when we first went hi were
very wet and muddy, and we got in a
fearful state of mind and dirt, it is so
etieky, just like brick earth and in
places there was quite a bit of water
in them, `Which was boarded over,
but the boards were to narrow and
the trenches are winding and natrow
SO that it is Very hard to pack in ra-
tions as this has to be done at t iAht
One night 1 went into the boles three
times and my feet got soaked and re-
raained cold till 1 came out and it wee
raining and very cold, an you can see
that apart from being continually sora
at from enipera of the Get Mans who
are very good shots and ran bit any
thing that is Pitman up above top par
apet. Well, the trench Ili is not very
pleasant but the shell stiek close hi
epite•of everything, Our people ton,
have gat the beet shote of our battal•
ion told of to athlpe and every thing
that 1onktt tike a Osman is shot aft
Well we have bad quite a few caeual-
irles, 1 am sorry to say we lost our
Company Commander, he was a brave
and cool fellow and we shall miss bltn,
Well I have seen quite a few amusing
incidente since T have been here, The
whole business is different to what 1

In Our Advertisement of Last Week
in referring to the shoes made
for the 1st Canadian Contingent
now in France
We made mention of that fact that ac-
cording to certain evidence .submitted
it was stated that
The Murray Shoe was the only one
that stood the test. eve also mention
that wc' are Sole Agents f or the h' ur
ray Shoe in Wingham, but we omit-
ted to state that The Murray Shoe
and the Derby shoe are the one and
same make -
There are hundreds of wearers of
"Derby Shoes" in this locality and as it
may not be generally proven that Muro
ray and Derby are identical, we con-
cluded that it would be best to make
this fact known.
Murray and Derby Shoes are Dis-
tinctly High-grade, in fact they are as
near perfection as it is possible to make
shoes, and the prices are very reason
able.
