Athens, May 4.--Bombardment of the fortifications guarding the Dar- daneles was resumed with increased vigor by the Allied fleet to-day. The Queen Elizabeth, the Warspite and other "big'" ships are raking forth from the Aegean Sea and the Gulf of Saros, while a squadron of the French and British warships has penetrated the Straits and is con- centrating its fire on Kilid Bahr and Chanak Kalessi. Practically "every unit of the fleet is engaged, accord-! ing to reports reaching here. A second squadron of four Brit- ish battleships is pounding away at the forts in the Gulf of Smyrna and reports reaching here are that the response is feeble. It is believed, however, that the Turks are hus- banding their ammunition in antiei- | pation of important land operations.

Calgary, Alta, May 4.--Stricken by a bolt of lightning as they were hasténing home, arm in arm, through the storm Thursday evening, on Pros- pect avenue, near Tenth street west, the charred and distorted bod ies of May Swindell, aged twenty- five, and Charles Towse, aged thirty years, who were shortly to have been married, were found early next day lying in 'the centre of the street. The couple, when the fatal bolt | struck them, were returning to the home of Miss Swindell at the rest- | dence of A. M. Peters, 1031 Prospect | avenue, and they were at the time but a block or two from the house Their bodies lay all night where they had fallen, in the midst of the rain and storm. The pair were engaged to be mar- ried shortly and Towse had bought a home in Highbury and it is believed | that they were just returning from a visit to the little house. Miss Swindell had no relatives in this country. She came to Canada about two yearg, ago from Maccles field, England.

(Special to the. Whig.) Paris, May 4.--Desperate efforts {by the Germans to advance north of Ypres have failed. The British forces repulsed night attack on May | 3rd, inflicting heavy losses. It is apparent that "the attack | started on Sunday is to be continu ed by the Germans despite their re peated repulse and the frightful loss- es they are sustaining. Unofficial reports from the front are that poisonous gases thrown in specially constructed shells by the Germans have in many cases been {blown back on the ememy's trenches {by the wind. | The official communique this af- ternoon dismissed the situation with the laconic comment that the Brit- {ish had repulsed night attacks. It | was also stated that the French of- | fensive in the Argonne was continu- {ing successfully, an advareé having been made in yesterday's ments. Russia Not Disturbed. | (Special 10 the Whig.) Petrograd, May 4 (via London).-- The spectacular advance of German { forces along a hundred-mile front, extending from the Baltic Sea near j Libau in a southeasterly direction to | tha North tributary of the river Nie- engag>-| , men, continued unchecked, It has not disturbed Russian activ- ity in the region south of thé Ntemes, where, according to information re: ceived here, consistent sucesses are being won there by the Russians. The G rman movement in the Bal- tic provinces, which is. designed to sever communications with Libau and thus cripple the Russian right wing, is not regarded seriously by the Rus sians inasmuch as the flooding of the Niemen entirely separates the Ger- mans from their base and from the other German armies. The two | lelds of operations are on opposite sides of the river, Russian observers characterize the German advance north of the Nie- men as a "comic opera affair' de- signed to induce the Russians to transfer hurriedly troops to that re- gion. At points to the southward, par- | ticularly the region between.the riv- ers Skwa and Plssa, the German of- fensive is more formidable. It is | marked by intense and prolonged ar- { tillery fire. On Friday the Ger- | mans fired 30,000 shells. This was | followed by infantry battles in which the Germans, after suffering heavy | losses, reached the Russian trenches | only to be repulsed. enn ries um rer sen | Two Years War The Opinion of Roy W.
