The provisional gov- ernment have not yet succeeded in the upper hand and affairs both in the army and -country are in a very chaotic state. The failure of Russia has been a bed blow to the Allies, who undoubtedly based their present offensive campaign on the con- tinuance of the good work shown on the eastern front bir-the Rueeians last fall. The failure to live up to these expectations has undoubtedly been the cause of the stiff resistance of the Germans on the western front, who h tria een able to withdraw heavy re- in orcenaents of men and guns from the east, and while it has not enabled Germany. to halt the progress of the Allies, there is no doubt but that it will extend the war into another year at least. The Allies are still waging a very successful war against the German U-boats. The losses during' the past week were the smallest on record and on Friday last not 'one British boat was sunk. Whether the Allies -are cap- turing, more German submarines or whether new devices have been invent- ed to make their operatioes mere cliff - cult is not disclosed, but whatever the cause the results, are niest .encourag- ing. 1111111111IMOINIMMIIMMININOW HILLS GREEN.

Death of William Chesney. -Mr. William Chesney, one of the best known cnien in the township, passed • away at his -home °nettle', fifth ion - 1 cession on Wednesday evening in his 69th year. Always of a robust cons- titotion and fine physique, he had en- joyed lunusually good health until the past winter and although he showed • signs- of failing health, he had been about as usual, and was in town on Saturday last. Since. then, however, he sank rapidly until the end came on Wednesday, diabetis being the cause • of death. The late Mr. Chesney was born on lot 8, concession 4, Tucker - smith, on May; 31st, 1848, and was the eldest son of the tete Henry Me- Lellan Chesney and had lived all his life in this township, being a central figure in municipal affairs for many years. For a riumber of year e and up to the time of. his deatn, he acted as assessor of the township and his duties in this capacity brought him in close touch with every home, while his gen- ial, kindly manner made him a general favorite. la. was also connected with the McKillop Fire Insurance Com- pany almost since its organizatioa, and for some years past had been One of the company's principal agents. He always took an active interest in Po- litical and municipal affairs, and was a staunch leeeral in. politics, and his death will be learned with rcgcrt by a large circle of friends. Mr. Chesney was twice married, his first wife being Miss Jane McGee, who died a number of years ago leaving two sons, Wil- liam, of Swift Current and Harry) of ond lines in their last attack were an- weihilatecl before they reached half way to the Freneh position s and although. SOMet of the succeeding waves reach- . ed the French, they were speedily des- patched with .the bayonet so that the attempt, like the others, ended in dis- aster. The desperate attempts made by the Germans to retake these pos- itions shows' the great success made by the French in their gains, being as they were the observatories from which the Germans were able to watch the French artillery or in ether words the eyes which directed their artillery, and their loss . has made their fire very erratic, and thus, doom- ing the hifantay attacks failure. Great aerial activity has been dis- playe,d on both sides during the last few days. On Tuesday an aeroplane eaid was carried out by a squadron of 16 or more German planes. They crossed the Essex and Kent boundaries and dropped many bombs on the small towns and villages, but only 14 of them returned to their home base. Only two were killed and 29 injured in the bombarded districts and the enemy inet with a very lively reception. Since the last raid extra cautions had been taken and the Germans were attack- ed by British aviators before they had an opportunity to carry out their raid- ing intentions to any great extent, be- sides which the British anti-aircraft guns were very effective. After hav- ing lost two machines the enemy turn- ed and made a rapid retreat for their home base. To offset this raid British airmen have been very sucessfully_ bombarding Ostend and the German works and shipping on Belgian terri- tory in conjunction with a naval bom- bardment from the sea. This bom- bardment is believed to have been so destructive that it was the cause of driving out to sea several German destroyers using one of these ports as a base. At any -late .these destroy- ers did put out to sea and were short- ly afterwards sighted by a British squadron. The Gmemans turned tail and made back for port with the Brit- • ish in pursuit and a running fight was kept up until the mined waters of the Baltia were reached In this fight one German destroyer the 20 was destroyed and sank; all but seven of her mew of about `el perishing, and another German destroyer, was badly damaged but manatee. to escape. • Following the successes on the Ital- ian front last week there was a lull in the operations for some days. On 'Tuesday, however, activities were re- sumed, this time from the other side. During the interval the •Austrians succeeded in collecting considerable re-inforcements from the Ressian front with which they launched a des- perate attack along the whole front from Goriza to the sea. The fighting was very severe and the Austrians succeeded in establishing a footing in the Italian lines. Their success, how- ever was short lived. The next morn- ing the Allies drove the enemy back to their own lines. The Austrians re- sisted desperately, corning back again and again but could not shake the Italians who are now firmly holding ehe old line. The Russian situation has not im- orably • ZURICH.

The Late Dayid, Workman. -Last week we made brief mention of the passing fromourMidst of one of our most highly esteemed residents, in the person of the late David Workman. Mr. Workman's illness was ii- very brief one; only extending over some to weeks. He was first attacked by bowel trouble, but later pneumonia developed, and although three doc- tors and a nurse were in attendance and all that science and loving friends could do was done. to avert the fatal blow, Divine Wisdom had or- dained... othetwise, so that their efforts were in vain. The decease, ed was born on the farm -op. which he died 42 years ago, being the second son of the lite John Workman, and bad resided in. that vicinity all his life. In 1906 he was married. to Mies Hannah Thompson, youngest, daugh- ter , of Mrs. George Thompson, sr., • of Kippe,n, and beside . bis bereaved widow and two daughter, he is also survived by two /brothers and four sisters, Thomas and John, of Stanley, Mrs. Williaire; Butt and Mrs. Archibald McGregor, of Tuckerstnith, -Mrs. R. P. Bell of Seaforthsand Mrs, - Samos Reid of London. Mr. Workman was a most industrious, well doing man, and leaves his family liberally provided for, and although he was retiring and unassuming in- manner he was greatly liked and tespected in the community where he had lived all his life. He was in short a most estimable citizen, and his death so • early in life is deeply regretted by all who knew him. To his. partner in life and his young .family his death is an irreparable loss and to them is extended the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle 'of friends. Deceased was a Conservative in politics and a inem- ber of St. Andrew's church, Kippent The funeral, which took place on Fri- day lest, was one of the largest seen in this vicinity for Many years, and abundantly testified to the very high esteem iniwhich thodeceased was Keld and the sympathy felt for the be- reaved family and relatives. The ser- vices were conducted by Rev. Dr. Aiken, pastor of St, Andrew's, who took these words Or his sermon "As I live, ye shall live dime' and tle re- mains were laid to 'rest in ,Hensall. Won cemetery. The pall bearers were all the deceased's neighbors, viz.: Messrs. T N Forsyth, Wm. Sproat, James W. McLean, Wesley French, Robert Elgie and Robert Daymond.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS Montreal, -June 5the-At the Mon- treal stock yards, west -end market, the supply this morning for sale eon - misted of 550 cattle, 250 sheep and lambs, 1075 hogs and 750 calves. There - as no actual change in the condition of the market for cattle as compar- ed with last Wednesday except that the undertone was easier owing to the more liberal supplies corning forward, there being over 1000 head on the mar- ket for sale, and although there was practically no decline in prices, the prospecte were that they would dome lower' in the near future. There was not the usual aietivity the market owing to the fact that buyers Were only asking sufficient to fill immediate wants, but a steady trade was done with sales of a few extra choice steers and heifers at $12.- 50; ordinary choice at $12.25 and full loads of the latter at $11.75 to $12 per cwt. Owing to increased receipts for sheep and lambs and the fact that .there was very little deniand fer the same as the ',trade has still ample supplies on hand of cold storage stock to dispose of, t the tone of the livestock market to -day was weaker and prices declined 50c per cwt. and even at this reduction sales were very slow, in fact, some drover e who had a very few choice spring lambs found it impossible to sell them. On the other hand the de- mand for calves was good for both do - elastic account and for shipping to the United States and quite an active • trade was done at firm prices. A very weak feeling developed in the market for hogs and prices dropped 75c to $1 per cwt. This was attributed to the fact that packers generally were well supplied with stock, consequently the demand was very limited and trade was slow and as the supply was in excess of the requirements quite a few lots were cari•ied over for another market. Sales of selected lots were made at $16.50 to $17; sows at $14.50 to $1 -and stags at $8.25 to $8.50 • per efirt., weighed off cars.

It was -very early apparent that the buy- ers were in real earnest about cut- ting down prices, and they started in to try and take off 50c. Business was hung up immediately, and it was well on in the morning before butcher cat- tle began to be driven to the scales, the buyers having eased off in their demands, but once they had secured what cattle they did require they as- , eumed the attitude that drovers could accept the bids offered or take their , cattle back into the country. At noon two-thirds of the offerings were still in the pens, and the buyers were at lunch, caring little whether they made more purchases or not. Later in the day a few drovers consented to a , further sacrifice rather than have the : cattle left on their hands, with a pros- pect of a further cut in values next day,- but at the close many loads of cattle were unsold. There were several loads of choice killers for which not a bid was made. That cattle values are on the decline seems certain, and if the buyers can hold out there may be a return to the lic top. Drovers were badly hit this morning, and it is up to them now to go back into the coun- try and buy more cheaply. Farmers have a lot of cattle on the grass al- ready, and are not likely to keep them there any length of time, so the drovers' time may come before long. Very few cattle this morning sold over 12e, the best with a few excep- tions meshing in from $11.50 to 11.85. Other grades of steers and heifers met coresponding values with bulls and fat cows were steady and moderately ac- tive, several choice cattle selling as high as Ile.

A few orders for stockers and feed- ers were not filled, chiefly because _offering was light, but there were no farmers on the market in search of cattle. Prices were barely steady, and values may drop lower at any ffine now. Fat sheep were weaker and a drag on the market, while light sheep were about steady at last week's decline. Calves were strong and active. Regular shippers received $16.50 for their hogs this morning, but packer -buyers stated that they were picking up loose hogs at $16, which may be the general price before the week is out. • Grums Ltd. bought 225 cattle:, But- chers' $10.-50 to 12; cows, $8.50 to $11 hulls, $9 to $11, -Swift Canadian *bought .400 cattle; Butchers' 9.75 to $12; best cows, 10.40 to $11; good cows, $10 to ;10.35; fair to -medium cows, $9 to $9.85; bulls, $8.50 to *11; one carload of hogs, - $16.50, fed and watered; 75 sheep and yearlings; clipped sheep, 8.50 to 935; clipped yearlings, $12 to ;13; 75 calves $10 to $14.505. • H.P.
