Austrian warships and torpedo craft do not dare leave | their ports, and are thus prevented | concentrating at one port or rein- | foing insufMecient naval forces scat- | tered along the Dalmatian coast. Observation. and wireless stations on the Dalmatian Islands have been de- stroyed, and thus the movements of | hw Itglian fleet are unknown to Aus. | ria.

Farm Hands Scarce So Fair Sex Is Drafted' to Help in Old London, June 16 There is a war shortage of 170,000 male agricultu- ral laborers on. the farms of Eng. land, Scotlahd and Wales, according to a report from the Board of ARri-" culture. During the next two months the board hopes to fill virtually all these vacancies with women. Already women have come to the assistance of farmers in the counties of Hssex, Norfolk and Lincolnshire in planting the potato crop and in truck gardening. Several hundred women are being trained and employ. ed in place of men laborers on dairy farms in Cheshire, Dorset and Berks, where the wages paid range from $3.50 to $5 a week. There i8 one feature of dairy work which the board hopes to see taken over everywhere by women for the duration of the war, and that ig the twice daily drive to the station with the milk or the delivery of the milk to the customers. It is a common sight in Ireland to see the women drive the milk to the station for creamery in a donkey cart. Rexall Orderlies work gently on the bowels, bringing to the cheek a tinge of health.

They were attacked by several Ger- man aviators, and during the engage- ment the British pilot was shot through the jaw and neck.

The narrative then continues to say that on Tuesday a British snip- per near Cuinchy picked off three Germans. Wednesday was entirely uneventful.

His Grace Archbishop Bruchesi has just issued a Pastoral. letter to the clergy of his diocese 'dealing with the coming Canadian Eucharistic Congress to be held in Montreal on July 13th, 14th, and. 15th.

Whilst the coming event 'in Mon- treal may not have the splendor of the Roman Assembly, it is expected that the attendance of clergy from all over Canada will be very large, it being the express of the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XV., ex- pressed in his Special Brief that this be the Congress of the Canadian Priests. Dealing with the welcome that awaits the delegates in Metro- politan city, Archbishop Bruchesi remarks. "We consider it & great fa- vor and a still greater honor, that our episcopal city is to ¢ the Bishops and Priests of Ca to a Eucharistic Congress.

The attempt at revolution 'was launched, according to witnesses, at a meeting of 6,000 East Indians at Sacramento, Cal., in August, 1914. "It wag thought," declared , one witness who was present at this meeting, 'that as a great war had broken out in Europe and troops from India were serving in this war, it was a good chance for Bast In- diang to demand their rights, and, it necessary, to\use force."

Following the arrival at Hong -Kong of the party of Indians which sailed from San Francisco on August 29th, parties of Indians went to var. rious ports of the Far East with a view to seditious propaganda among the Indians. They were active among the Indian Sepoys stitioned at Hong Kong, and they instigated the nearly -successful mutiny at Singa- pore on February 156th. The leaders obtained considerable assistance, it was testified, from German sources The witnesses gave details of the activity of the ringleaders after reaching the Punjab, and of efforts to seduce the Indian troops in La- hore, Umbella, Meerut and other can. tonments. - 'A general rising in the Punjab, the United Provinces and the north-west frontier province was set for February 21st, one of its fea- tures being an attack on the Lahore cantonment arsenal, were gent 'in all direotions a weok in advance, but on February 19th gus- picion fell on one Kirpal Singh, who had arranged to go and excite the troops at Mainmir.

The German Officers Recognize This As the Allies Steadily Advance In the Dardanelles. Athens, June 16.--The latest reli- able news from the Dardanelles shows that the position of the allied forces continues to improve materi- ally, though the advance registered within the last few days may not ac- curately .be described as great from the point of view of ground won. Nevertheless it has been extremely effective as regards the losses inflict- ed on the enemy. One of the most reliable and well-informed Athens newspapers states, in the course of a despatch regarding thé position on the pen- insula, that at the southern end -be- fore the recemtly-commenced offen- sive the British held a position run- ning from the sea up to the road going from Sedd-ul-Bahr to Krithia, while the French front stretched from the other side of the same road to the shores of the straits at the mouth of the Kereves Dere. The use of heavy artillery enabled the BPFitish left and the French right to advance about ome mile, so the line is now straight from the sea to the straits. Turks still occupy Kri- thia, and the British are engaging them. The ruined village naturally is offering a strong position for the enemy. Australians and New Zeal banders occupy an impregnable posi- tion before the heights dominating 'assumed, the offensive. News not yet Maidos andKilid Bahr. y have here ony ont tinople says there have been bread wr riots on a' somewfat dangerous scale, and violent collisions have taken place between Turks and Germans in the Galata quarter. Feeling against the Germans is re- ported to be steadily rising. The population want to know why Ger- man officers' families are being sent back to the fatherland. There is a general feeling of extreme despond- ency. Even German officers of high standing recognite only one thing can save Turkey now, and that is peace. "A Smell in the Swamp."
