Some Loading Views---Jouralists Free to Indicate Situ * tion Speak of Crisis Freely---Some Resigna- tions Have Taken Place. London, June 22.---The Noncon- formist Conseclence, which in pre-war | days generally favored pacifist dreams and ocombatted compulsory | service, is now at variance in respeet | to the latter. The Issues of the | British Weekly and the Christian World to.day reveal this very clear- ly. In a very able leader, the edi- | tor of the British Weekly (Sir Fred. erick W. Robertson) urges that the | nation shall face the facts with re. gard to munitions and men. "We | may say with certainty," he writes, "that the next three months of the war will be extremely critical for the Allies. Journalists are now free to | indicate the posiibilities of the situ- | ation. Mr. Lloyd George has en- abled them to write about munitions | without being intimidated by press censore."" The article goes on to | point out that while much fuss has | been made about the word "com pulsion,'* the actua] thing already | exists under the Defence of. the Realm Act, by which employers can be called upon to surrender their | factories, Among recommenda- tions made by the writer, one is that "the national register ought to be begun at once"; "that moral com- pulsion should be applied in the strongest *® degree," and that "the adoption of the badge has become | imperative." i THE PORTSMOUTH | ~~ PROMOTIONS From "A" of Primary Clasg to "B"~~Dorothy Marham, Nellle Me.

Mr. Roberts asserts that the fact that war wsa | inevitable for the secular State, did not endow it with any quality which | the Chureh could declare as right- | 80us, He is therefore associating himself with a body known as the | "Féllowship of Reconciliation." The members of this body believe that no permanent. peace will come out of the present struggle except by stimu. lating those moral forces and senti- ments which make for good-will and reconciliation before peace is con- cluded, A DEFENCE OF GERMANY Ry "The Fatherland," A Weekly Pa- per In New York. A Kingstonian who turned from New , the Whig a copy of "The Father- land," a weekly publication devoted th the defence of Germany and the abuse of Great Britain and her Al- lies as well as of the United States. A perusal of the publication leads one to the conclusion that the Unit- ed Statesers are a people of much endurance or they would tar and feather the Germans who are issuing the little journal. "The Fatherland" in its latest is- sue contains these editorial reflec- tions: : "The difference between Kultur and Culture is the difference between Kant and Cant." "The election of Mr. Wilson was an accident. The election of Roose- velt would have been a calamity." "If the sinking of the Lusitania saved the lives of 50,000 German soldiers, then the sinking of the Lu- sitania was an act of humanity."

Though badly crippled, he managed to crawl back to his gun, and was sticking to it when another German bullet found him. He was shot through both legs, one leg be- ing broken and his heel shot off. In this state he succeeded in crawling a distance of two hundred yards to a trench, where he hoped to be picked up by stretcher-bearers. He remained there some hours before help came and he was removed to the base. Gangrene developed on the journey and the doctors gave him up. Des- pite his wounds and the blood poison, he has pulled through, and has now been moved to a hospital in England, where his chances of ultimate recov- ery are sald to be good.

Rome, June 23.--The deadlock still continues. Most con- tradictory news comes from every Balkan capital, but as the demands of these little kingdoms overlap, it is a question as to which will cede to the necessities of the situation. Roumania is the most exaggerat- ed in her pretentions, and Bulgaria thé most modest. The intervention of the latter would be the most effi- caclous against Turkey. However, an it Is necessary to make the Balkan states agree among themselves, something which ~ they never have done, politicians here consider their intervention impossible. Serbia stands firm.

The other day he retired with his staff to an isolated village behind the lines to rest. It was a spot the Ger- man heavy artillery had neglected, although it was in range. - The chan- Ce8 were that he would pass his days of rest there in security. The evening of his arrival the Ger- mans remembered there was a vil- lage there and began to bombard it. The last shell they fired fell in the Very centre of the messroom. The four officers around him escaped with insignificant bruises but the Colonel was killed outright. Six artillery officers were at mess in the little house from which the fire of their battery had been direct- ed. A shell struck it; five of them were killed and the sixth was un- touched. His men pleaded with him to go to the cellar as long as the bombardment continued, but he in- sisted on remaining where he could better direct the fire of the battery. Scores of shells fell around the spot without touching him. Finally he was prevailed upon to go into 'the cellar, and he had no more than dis appeared when a shell went through the cellar window and killed him.

Leave Trenches First---Australians' Losses Heavier Than Cana- dians' in Past Two Weeks. London, June 23.--The British army casually lists ending June 9th show that since the beginning of the war 3,372 officers have been killed, 6,661 wounded and 1,049 put down as missing, making a total of 11,072. From May 19th to June 9th, 703 of- ficers were killed , 1,407 'wounded and 150 reported missing, or 2,260 in all. These figures bring' out the fact that the probably due as much to the fact that the line officers of the lower grades are the first to leave the tren- ches in making attacks as to the use of high explosives. During the fortnight ended June 9th the Canadian contingent lost forty officers killed and 130 wound- ed, the Australians 107 killed and proportion of "killed to wounded runs one to two, which is| forty-eight killed and 117 wounded, who, being officers, were in large part English. The Royal Field Ar- tillery 'lost thirty officers killed 'and sixty-two wounded. In many regi- ments more officers were killed than wounded. The Leicesters had eigh- teen killed to fourteen wounded, while in the Dublin Fusiliers the pro- portion stood seventeen to seven .in the Welslr Fusiliers eleven to five, and in the Surreys fifteen to thirteen. With each casualty list, a certain number of officers and men are transterred from the missing to the killed, owing to the finding of their bodies. The number of dead Is also constantly increased by those succumbing to wounds. The British casualty lists issued Monday night contain the names of fifty-five officers and 3,500 men. The week-end list, issued Sunday, was 4,- 175 wounded, and the Indian troops! 000 ~~ GERMANY'S GREAT EFFORT. Tremendous Force is Advancing on Galician Capital, Petrograd, June 23.--The Ger- mans are sparing no effort to take Lemberg. They are advancing in tremendous force.. They are not only filling their depleted ranks by (drawing on reserves, but actually are increasing the attacking force by bringing up reinforcements from other parts of the Russian front, and, what is more important, from Belgium, It is estimated, with what justid- cation I am unable at present to say ~~that at least one-third of the Ger. man forces on the westorn front Jave been transferred to Galicia. @ extraordinary difficulty of fore- ing a way through the German forti- fied line in the west is fully appre. clated here, and recent successes north of Arrag are noted with great satisfaction. On their part, the Russians are fully determined to, carry out their most painful task. in the mean- time, the nation is working with re- doubled energy to secure victory, It is worth noting that the new mea- sures have already resulted in a con- siderable increase in the output of munitions, and thig is only the be- gioning of a great national effort with this end in view. ---------- The Hidden Dreadnoughts.
