Walkerville A (lespatch from Windsor says: After a severe grilling by the police without result Wm. Lefler, of Detroit, late Saturday night, confessed to Crown Attorney Rofif, at Windsor, that he had conspired with two other Detroiters to dynamite Canadian fac- tories and public buildings. In his confession Lefler said: "I have worked with Manager Al- bert Kalischmidt, of the Tate plant, in Ford, several years. When the war started the plot to blow up fac- tories making supplies and ammuni- tion was first introduced to me by a man who offered me $200 if I would handle the dynamite at the Tate plant. "Three months ago the man com- menced to smuggle dynamite over in his automobile at Walkerville. This was stored in the vault of the Tate factory. Another man was to bring over the fuses and time clocks. I bought two suitcases in Detroit and took them to Walkerville without any questions being asked by the Cus- toms officers. "The details of the plot were dis- cussed in the office of this man in the Kresle Building, Detroit. The only part he took in the plot was to fur- nish me with $25 on account and smuggle the explosive over from De- troit." According to the police Lefler said he was to blow up the Tate factory, which was sold several weeks ago to a Toronto company for the manufac- ' ture of munitions for Uie British \ army. The plot included the Peabody j factory, which was dynamited a week ' ago, the armories, the Canadian I Bridge Company plant at Walker- I ville, where 500 high explosive shells are being turned out every day, and the Dominion Stamping: Company's plant at Ford. Thirty sticks of dynamite were ^ found in the vault of the Tate factory â-  last Friday, and several more were \ uncovered by a grass cutter who was , cutting weeds in the rear of the , building. RUSSIANS WIN DNIESTER LINE Force the Austro-Germans Out of Their Positions on the River. A despatch from London says: The storm centre of the Galician battle front has shifted from the region of Lemberg to the line of the Dniester, south-east of the capital, and fighting of great intensity is going on along the river bAween Zurawna and Hal- icz. The German army of Gen. von Linsingen has been compelled to re- treat south of the river as the result of fierce Russian attacks. This re- verse is admitted by Berlin, though Vienna claims that the progress of the .-Austrian troops has not been in- terrupted, and that the forces of Gen. Boehm-ErmoUi are working southward from Lemberg to join those of Gen. von Linsingen. The Petrograd correspondent of the Daily Chronicle thus summarizes the situation. - "The fiKst movement of the Ger- mans after occupying Lemberg was to attempt an advance south-eastward along the Lemberg-Beregane railway with the object of cutting off the Russian forces operating on the Dniester. This advance so far has been checked, and on the Dniester itself the Russians are displaying great energy. A large force of Ger- ,ns who crossed the river near Zur- awna ha»b««n jammed on to the bank and on islands. They have suffered enormous losses. Further east, near Halicz, a very mixed force of Aus- trians has been thrown back to the river. In these engagements the Rus- sian light and heavy artillery gave effective support. STRENGTH OF THE NAVY INCREASED BY 50,000 A despatch from London says: The supplementary naval estimate, pro- vides for the addition of another 50,- 000 officers and men to the navy. This would bring the total person- nel for this year up to 300,000 offi- cers and men. The last vote, of 260,- 000 men, was made in February. CONVICTED SOLDIER FREED FOR BRAVERY A despatch from Paris says: Bap- tiste Alavoin, a private in the 29th Chasseurs, is the first soldier con- victed by court-martial who has pro- fited from a suspension of sentence to rehabilitate himself by gallant con- duct at the front. Alavoin was sen- tenced a few months ago to ten years â- t hard labor. This sentence was wiped out by his bravery, and he has been decorated with the military me- dal. TO DETECT PRESENCE OF UNDERWATER CRAFT A despatch from London says: The question of whether there exists any scientific method of detecting tne pre- sence of a submerged submarine, which was raised during the Lusitania enquiry, is now engaging the atten- tion of the Admiralty. Certain valu- able suggestions have been made by a prominent Canadian to Mr. Donald MacMaster, K.C., who representd the Dominion Government at the enquiry, and Mr. MacMaster has submitted these to the Admiralty and to Lord Mersey, and the latter has promised to give every encouragement to any experiments in the direction of set- tling the question.

' GERMAN SOLDeS ARE EXHAUSTED Exhausted Troops to b.^ Re-placed by Men Drawn From Newly-trained Units of Landsturm. Enter the Dried Egg. A comparatively young industry â€" the conversion of eggs into the frozen and desiccated product â€" should be- come a great stimulus to the egg in- dustry of this country. In fact, it seems destined to have a great future. The desiccated product not only fur- nishes an excellent and highly nutri- tious substitute i9t fresh eggs, in compact form, to campers, explorers, sailors and soldiers, but there is an increasing demand for it for general culinary purposes, and wherever eggs are used in large quantities, as, for instance, in bakeries and restaurants. The product, as it appears in the market, is chiefly in the form of gold- en yellow flakes, which are made ready for use by simply dissolving them in water. The cold storage of eggs only retards, but does not pre- vent deterioration. With the modern method of freezing and desiccating eggs, on the other hand, it is possible to obtain a product that retains for a long time the qualities of fresh eggs. + Things to Remember. Many a man is full of original sin who never stole an apple in his life. Husbands are like eggs; if kept in hot water long enough they will ' harden. I However ugly the baby may be, it j generally resembles the wealthiest re- i lative. ! If you must fret and worry, get away somewhere by yourself â€" they're both catching. If what a great many husbands say is true, that married women have no idea of the value of money, it is be- cause they never have any. NEW STYLE OF GERMAN AEROPLANE BROUGHT DOWN A despatch from London says: The correspondent of the Daily Mail at ' Calais telegraphs that a German aero- plane of the newest type has been brought down by anti-aircraft fire. It is very heavily armored and has suffi- cient /lifting power to carry a gun which is almost as big as a cannon. A Real Comforter. Hub â€" If business don't improve I shall go crazy.

ATTACHE AT HAGOE INVITED TO LEAVE German Diplomat Too Active in Espionage to Please the Dutch. A despatch from London says: The Daily Mail's corresp BuC jnt at The Hague telegraphs that he learns from a trustworthy source that Col. Ostertag, the German military at- tache at The Hague, and formerly at- tache at London, whose sudden de- parture from the Dutch capital a few days ago occasioned surprise in diplomatic circles, was practically re- quested to leave by the Netherlands Government. "Col. Ostertag," the correspondent says, "nominally attache here since early in the war, is said to be in real- ity one of the most efficient and use- ful leaders of the German intelligence department, and is said to have kept an active watch on all lines of com- munication between Holland and Eng- land, and between Holland and America. He latterly has become much interested in Dutch military operations, and in the disposition of the Dutch troops on the Belgian front- ier. His efforts to obtain information and the methods he has pursued, it is stated, finally attracted the atten- tion of the Dutch Government, which intimated its strong disapproval to the German Foreign Office. "Col. Ostertag left on 24 hours' no- tice, and is now at Ghent. Soon after his arrival there, nine civilians were summarily courtmartialed and shot on a charge of transmitting military information to the frontier." A despatch from London says: According to Swiss despatches, 200,- 000 Prussian, Bavarian and Austrian troops in Galicia have been sent back to their homes terribly exhausted by their long fighting in the burning sun. Army doctors say that two months' rest is imperative. Fresh troops have gone to replace them. Germany will be able to place 750,000 new men in the field by the end of July. These consist of land- sturm and inland reserves, but it is figured that they will not exceed in number those who must be sent home from the eastern front to recover from the hardships of the Galician campaign. POPE IS HORRIFIED BY WAR ATROCITIES. A despatch from London says: Discussing the Vatican and the war, the Morning Post says the Pope has expressed his horror at some of the more atrocious crimes, but in regard to what many Catholics believe to have been the supreme and original iniquity the Pope remains silent. For two generations Germany has been taught to believe in the justice not only of the present war, but of all war. FRENCH UNEMPLOYED ABOUT 10 PER CENT. A despatch from Paris says: The Ministry of Labor has completed an enquiry into the effects of the war upon employment. In 27,610 indus- trial and commercial concerns, with 1,097,000 employes in ordinary times, it was found that 65 per cent, were fully employed in the month of April. The remaining 35 per cent, does not represent the actual unemployment because 24 per cent, of the total num- ber prior to the war is now with the colors; so that actually only 11 per cent, including both sexes, were un- employed during April, as compared with 17 per cent, in January, 32 per cent, in October and 42 per cent, in August. These figures, together with statis- tics issued by other Ministries, indi- cate continuous improvement in the industrial and commercial situation in France since the opening of the war. SUB.MARIE OFFICER GIVEN VICTORIA CROSS A despatch from London says: It was officially announced that the Vic- toria Cross had been awarded Lieutenant-Commander Martin E. Nasmith for taking his submarine into the Sea of Marmora and sinking various Turkish transports, stone ships ar.J a gunboat. "Two officers of the submarine, Lieutenants Guy d'Oyly-Hughes and Robert Brown, were awarded the Dis- tinguished Service Cross. Each of the crew received the Distinguished Service Medal. NORWAY IS WORRIED BY PIRATE WARFARE A despatch from London says: The hope that Germany will take steps to safegruard neutral shipping from sub- marine attacks was expressed by the Norwegian Foreign Minister, M. Ihlen, at the opening of the Storth- ing, says a Reuter despatch from Christiania. Discussing the torpedo- ing of the Norwegian steamships Belridge and Sveinjarl, Ihlen declared: "Whatever differences of opinion may exist regarding rights under interna- tional law, it is my hope that the German Government, having learned through experience how easily mis- takes are made, will give commanders of German warships such instructions as will make neutral shipping safe." « FRENCH CAPTURE ENEMY CANNON Great Quantities of War Material Also Fall Into Their Hands. A despatch from Paris says: k hand-to-hand fight with grenades ia the eastern part of the Labyrinth along with a violent cannonade north of Souchez are the only features of the fighting north of Arras mentioned I in an official communique. French troops made further progress between Angrres and Souchez, and a German attack in the Labyrinth was repulsed. On the greater part of the front artillery duels and the explosion of mines have occupied the past 24 hours. At the Calonne trench, in the heights of the Meuse, the Ger- mans made a desperate effort to re- gain their second line of trenches, now in French hands, but were twice repulsed. The attack was of g^eat violence, , accompanied by the hurling of as- phyxiating bombs and burning liquid. After succee(iing in penetrating into part of their former second line, which the French now occupy, they were driven out by a vigorous coun- ter-attack. In the course of the counter-attack delivered by Joffre's forces in the region of Ban de Sapt four mitrail- leuses and a great quantity of war material was captured, including rifles, cartridges and grenades. BIG RUSSIAN CROP. An Increase of Forty Per Cent, Over Last Year. A despatch from Ottawa says: A cable from the International Institute of Agriculture gives the 1915 forecast i of the winter wheat crop for Euro- I pean Russia at 301,000,000 bushels; winter rye, 941,000,000 bushels, being ' for wheat an increase of 40 per cent. 1 and for rye nearly 20 per cent., as compared with the production of the last year. BRITAIN TO REGISTER THE NATIONAL RESOURCES. A despatch from London says: Now that the agitation fur munitions is at its height, England is going to take a stock of her resources. A bill providing for "the register of nation- al resources" is to be introduced in the House of Commons by Walter Hume Long, president of the Local Government Board, according to an-> nounctment made by William Hayes Fisher, Unionist member for Fulham. Just what will be the scope of the in- ventory, and whether it will includa men as well as supplies, has not beeni made known. PRISONERS IN BRITAIN WILL HARVEST CROP* A despatch from London says: The Government has decided to allow prisoners of war to help in the har- vesting of crops near places where they are under detention. The out- side labor will be performed only un- der specified conditions. An officer was showing an old lady over the battleship. "This," said he, pointing to an inscribed plate on the deck, "is where our gallant captain fell." "No wonder," replieil the old ladv. "I nearly slipped on it my- self." GERMAN SPY IS SHOT IN TOWER OF LONDON A despatch from London says: F. Robert Muller. who on June 4 was found guilty at the Old Bailey Police Court of being a German spy, was executed in the Tower of London on 1 Wednesday by shooting. .Another alleged German spy, Rob- 1 ert Rosenthal, who is said by the police to have coivfessed that he was sent to England by the German Ad- | miralty to obtain information on na- | val matters, is to be court-martialed MUTINY AT ALIEN DETENTION CAMP SHIP WITH DERNBURG RELEASED BY BRITAIN. .\ despatch from London says: The Norwegian steamer Bergensfjord, together with Dr. Bernhard Dern- burg, has been released by the British authorities. The Bergensfjord was detained at Kirkwall, Scotland. Dr. Dernburg carries a British safe conduct. ^ A despatch from .\mherst, N.S., says: During an outbreak at the alien enemy internment camp near Amherst, one of the prisoners, Fritz Clause, a German, was shot dead, and four others, also said to be Ger- mans, were seriously wounded. A rumor was abroad during the day that the shooting occurred when a squad of German prisoners attempted to escape. The following version , was obtained from a competent source: "While the prisoners of war in the detention camp were being conducted to the compound for physical exer- cise, one of them, Fritz Clause, as- saulted one of the internment police, knocking him insensible. The camp police with the guard was called out to quell the mutiny and in the mean- time the originutor of the trouble was shot dead, and four of the othet prisoners were stiriously wounded." Prisoners Mob Traitor Baronet A despatch from London says: In address the Irish prisoners. The the course of an interview Mr. John men not only refused to listen to his Redmond stated . that the German 1 disloyal remarks, but mobbed th« Government recently sent Sir Roger traitor, who was rescued with diffi- Casemcnt to a concentration camp to culty by the guards.
