Premier asquit'h announced in the
House .of Comnn.ons that "all male
enemies over military age will be
repatriated." He ,also said that
women and children in suitable

ment the Premier said:
"At this moment some 40,000 un -

Wilson Expects Germany to End Submarine War
on lVierchanti len
A despatch from Washington
says : Germany many must abandon her
entire submarine programme
against merchant vessels if she is
fully to satisfy the stand taken by
President Wilson in the note sent
to Berlin. She must disavow the
Lusitania and other outrages upon
Aiuesioan life and property of
which the United States Complains.
She must make reparation "so far
as reparation is possible for injur-
ies which are without measure,."
and she must take "immediate
steps" to prevent a recurrence of
the attacks on the American flag
and on American lives and Ameri-
can vessels.

GEIBIANS WORSE
TRAIT SAAES
Crimes of Unparalleled Horror
Committed by Kaiser's
Armies.
A despatch from. London say's
When Canadians, secure in their
homes thousands of miles away
from the devastated' battlefields of
France and 13elgiuzn, hear ebonies
of crime •and outrage beyond the
conception of their wildest imagiria-
tione,they may perhaps be excused
for being sceptical. But now 'the
last vestige of doubt has vanished.
The powerful light, of sworn evi-
dence taken by .a rspecially picked
Imperial Government committee,
under the chairmanship of Viscount.
Bryce, former British 'Ambassador.
at Washington, has been turned on,
and Germany, in the eyes of the:
civilized world, stands convicted of
having deliberately planned and
carried out wholesale massacres
of crime of unimagined horror.
Many months ago Premier As-
quith named this committee, whose
personnel includes rsuch mien as Sir
Frederick Pollock, Sir Edward
Clarke, Sir Alfred Hopkinson, II.
A. L. Fisher (vice-chancellor of the
University caf Sheffield), Harold
Cox and Kenelm Digby, and in
strutted them to earefuliy sift all
evidence of "outrages alleged to
have been committed by German
troops during the present war,"
This they have clone, and their re-
port is a document that will at-
tract world-wide attention. The
report of this committee has re-
peatedly been asked for by indi-
viduals and newspapers during the
last few months, but the members
refused to be hurried, and only
published it after they had thor-
oughly established the authenticity
of every ;statement contained in. it.
Couched in simple term's, the re-
port lays bare the story of a great
German .arm.y ,sweeping across Bel-
• giuni literally with fire and sword.
'Organized bodies of troops, direct -
done and abandonment of practi-
cally all she hopes to do with sub-
marines against merchantmen and
an admission that she has violated I
the laws of nations and humanity
will enable Gernnany entirely toI
meet the views iso earnestly coma-
municated to her by the United
States.
Stripped of its diplomratic dress,
the President's note carries not
only the'demands, but a threat
'Stress is laid Upon the expectation
of. the United States for prompt
action, and as regards the most im-
portant demand, that of guaran-
tees for the future, "immediate
steps" are required.
Finally, the plain intimation is
conveyed that the note itself is not
all Germany must expect if any
action is not forthcoming.

The fighting in Flanders and North-

resumed with redoubled fury on
Saturday night and Sunday, and
resulted in importaaat 'successes for

most importance to the Empire and

upon the responsibility of the army

German Infantry Wretchedly inferior to Artillery

A despatch from London says
"The great battle hangs in sus-

terror. Nothing is left of Ypres,
as raging fires of •shells knock to
atoms the relic`s of what were once
itst walls. Nothing could live in
the city and there have been fires
at Poperinghe to give the name of
only one town near the• fighting.
"Every road and cross road has
been blown up and shelled into
craters. The Germans have, launch-
ed a .new fleet of aeroplane's or have
stimulated new activity in the old
ones. Some flew over Dunkirk re-

clouded with the smoke of shrapnel

thoroughly tilled and they will reap

terrible enough in itself. It has
seemed to some. on the .ride of the
allies that they are engaged in a
warfare between human and evil
elements, so persistent has been the
rain of explosives .and gas-filled
bombs from the eneany, and then so
euperior is their own power when
the human element comes into
