After pushing back the French front on Thursday, the Canadians and the Belgian Grenadiers pressed forward to fill the gaps in a manner which won general admiration. One of the Belgian Grenadiers has just explained to me the thing that met his eye at this point. "When I raised my head out of the trench", he said, "the ground be- fore me was one huge dead mound." He meant that the corpses of the fallen Germans were so thickly strewn that it was impossible to dis-! tinguish the natural color of the soil. "During the last two days, the Ger- mans have again thrown asphyxia- ting shells, but the effect is much less terrible than that of the tubes of liquid compressed air. Thought Victory Sure. Among the German shells which had not exploded some have been found to have fuses of aluminium instead of brass. The German arty- lery fire has slackened considerably, in the latter stages.

In spite of the terrible fighting that has taken place, the enthusiasm ut the reinforcing troops is irresis- tible. The Allies have recovered the ground they lost on this side of Langemarck. They are now on 'the right bank of tthe Yser Canal, hav- Ing succeeded in crossing the Yser on Thursday, and are marching on Bixschoote. The narrow river channel, which adjoins Lizerne, has been lost and retaken several times. Around this spot the bodies of Germans are piled up a yard high. There has been no such accumulations of corpses since the battle of Dixmude in November.

CALLS GAS BOMBS HUMANE. German Newspaper's Defence Of Their Use In War. Rotterdam, April 28.--The Frank- furter Zeitung, in its defence of the .employment of the asphyxiating gas bombs, asks whether the enemy real- ly believes it makes any difference whether hundreds of guns and mor- tars and hundreds of thousands of grenades of all calibres are thrown into a small district, tearing away every living thing to pieces, and mak- Ing the German trenches an inferno, as at Neuve Chapelle, or whether the Germans fling grenades that spread gas not more deadly than the poison of the English explosive, but spreading over a wider area and ob- taining its end more quickly and without the pain and suffering of torn bodies. -------- Safety In Numbers. New Haven Register. An English girl was reproved for engaging herself to no less than four of the boys who went to the front. "How could you do such a thing?" said her aunt. "It sent them all away happy." answered the guilty one. "I think: any girl who wouldn't do what she could to make the defenders of her country happy is no patriot and be- sides. --" "Well, miss?"
