Constantinople, June 24.--Turk- ish steamers still run up the Sea of Marmora from Constantinople to Gallipoli and Chgnak, notwithstand- ing the activity of the British sub marines. Their cargo is mainly war stores and munitions, and anyone who wishes to ship as passengers, whether he be Turk or alien, must have official permission to make the | trip. The fear of submarines is very strong among the Turkish sailors, and the steamers bound for the fight- ing zone alip away from their docks at odd hours, generally midnight or | later with a squad of sharpshooters, | twelve or more in number, stationed along the rai] on both sides of the | boat, rifles in hand, straining their | eyes out over the waters in search of the enemy.

London, June 26.--According to the Morning Post correspondent in France, the Allies in the Festubert district have come against the most formidable entrenchments yet en- countered in the whole war and com- posed of solid cement and steel plat- es, with dugouts 20 feet deep. The British soldiers unite in de- claring that they have never seen anything like them. In these en- trenchments, aided by the enormous number of machine guns they are using, the Germans are enabled to hold their line with comparatively few men in the trenches. GERMANS. CHARTING SKY Zéppelin Raids Are Really Reconnals- sances, London, June 26.---Since the first raid over London early in June, Zep- pelins. have | making almost nightly visits to some part of the country. The war authorities have decided to allow mo information of any kind to be published about these so-called "air-raids". The short official statements which have been cabled that Zeppelins ap- peared on the east coast, dropped bombs and and injured a few people, doing lit! are all the press is allowed to print. This gection of the country is far from desolate. Every acre is culti- vated. Roads wind in and out along the shore, and crown the crest of'the ridge of Gal- lipoli. Whenever the sea pushes into the land to form a bay, there is | a litlte town, busy and prosperous in a Turkish manner of speaking. In every case the salient feature is a sky-plercing minaret. At fixed points along the road, white tented military camps squat against the | green landscape. At Gallipoli a curious feature is | provided by large black and white | | sign-boards erected here and there | over many of the buildings of the town. These are to indicate neu. tral property. How the hope that the gun-pointérs of the ships in the Gulf of Saros, many miles away behind the hills, can see these signs is not explained. The fact that several important structures here were hit by those sky-rocketing English shells jmpell- ed Enver Pashd to gend 25 French and English prisoners from Constan- tinople to be housed in the expense of Hoffman Phillip, gec- | retary of the American ¢mbassy,who | accompanied them officially. tion of cats living in the street of the Lame Camel. They were gath- ered from various destroyed houses by a kind-hearted Turk who now feeds them. Chanak is only the shell of a city. Beyond the white houses that line the sea-front, there is nothing, ex- cept in the direction of Kiid Bahr, from which it is separated by only a few hundred yards of water. NO BUMPER YIELD Saskatchewan Crop Will Equal 10-- Year Average. Regina, Sask., June 25.--' There is no indication of what might be termed a bumper crop in Saskatche- wan this year," declared Charles A. Dinning, manager of the Saskatche- wan Co-operative Ilevator Company, "The damage done hitheto from all causes is not sufficient however, to bring the yield per acre below the ten year average." Mr. Dunning Tecently returned from his trip to Yorkton, making the 150 miles each way by automobile, His opinion is based on personal ob- servation and also after studying re- ports received from agents of the Saskatchewan Co-operative Elevator Company. "The general effect of the frosts is to set the grain back one to two weeks, varying as to localities. In the northern part there is very little damage done by frosts, but the dam- age increases toward the south, 1 came home from my farm after the recent frosts and found the damage increasing as I approached Regina. "Most of the damage done is con- fined to low-lying lands. There is plenty of moisture for the crops that is dow needed is warm weather which seems to have started now in most sections."

Evidently at the present time the French do not appreciate the remin- der from the Holy Father that he considers them "brothers" of the Germans. The non-Catholic press declares flatfootedly, that the Pope's whole policy is directed toward the restor- ation of his temporal power, some- thing which, naturally, would only be possible through the help of Aus- tria or Germany. Gustave Herve, the noted soecial- ist editor, says that the Latapie in-| | terview is a heavier blow at Catholic- n ZABERN .

After asserting that the | Pope talks' like a German Bishop, | Herve continues: {| "Violated Belgium, dishonored | treaties, the martyrs of Louvain, those murdered on the Lusitania. What do all these amount to in comparison with the restoration of the Pope's temporal power in Rome? "He, whose Master said 'My King- dom is not of this world,' has only one idea, and that is to become once | more a sovereign. With 'that object | he has made a compact with Catholic | Austria and Bavaria, and the Prus- | sian clerical party. "The defeat. of democratic Italy and republican France would mean the establishment of papal sovereignty. It is this fantastic idea that underlies | the whole pitiable interview. "Catholiés of France, I offer you my sincerest condolence." See German Intrigue. | London, June 25.--The Morning | Post's Paris correspondent, referring | to La Liberte's interview, says: | "It may be said at once that the | interview has produced a deplorable | effect, and in clerical circles it is sug- | gested that M. Latapie may be the | vietim of a deep-laid plot which is intended to prepare the way for a mediation in which the Vatican could Dbe.supponted by the United States. French opinion is unanimous in be- lieving that such mediation could on- ly be the result of German intrigue. France {nténds to dictate peace to- gether with her Allies, and desires no mediation between herself and her enemies. The idea of such me- diation can only convince the nation that the Vatican is not on its side, <u jt as authentic and authorized, It prefaces the article with: i "Our readers will read .and pond-| er over the pontifical words with the | | sentiments due to 20 fugust a speak- | {er, not forgetting to place themsel- | | ves in the point of view of the head | | of the universal church, remember- ing that France has no representa- | tive at the Vatican to discuss such | matters. t "We believe the interview to be | authéntic, with reservations in re- | gard to certain details." | The French clerical press general- | {ly continues to aveid any discussion {of the interview, but the anti-cleri- | | cal press continues to show joy over | | it. | The Catholic Belgian organ, the | | Twentieth Century, which appears at | | Havre, is unwilling to believe that! | the Pope_has spoken in such terms, | | FAME WON BY PATRICIAS will ve Forever, Aitken. | General "Headquarters of the Bri- | { tish Army in France, June 23 -via| | London, June 24--""Few indeed are | left of the men whe met in Lans-| {downe Park, Ottawa, to receive the | | regimental colors nearly a year ago, | {but these who survive, and the, [friends of those who have died, may | draw solace from the thought that never in the history of arms have foldiers more valiantly sustained the | | gift and trust of a lady." i In this manner Sir Max Aitken, the Canadian record officer serving with the army in France, concludes a | thrilling account of the expleits of {the Princess Patricia's Canadian | Light Infantry who prior to their de- | parture for the front were presented | with regimental colors worked b | the hands of Her Royal Highness the Printess Patricia, daughter of Their | Royal Highnesses the Duke and | Duchess of Connaught, after whom | the valorous regiment was named. FEELING GROWS | Says. Sir | | | | {In Holland In Favor Of Entering | War, New York, June 25.--Americans arriving from Rotterdam declare that the recent incidents in the war have tended to crystalize the Dutch senti- ment, which favors participation on the side of the Allies. ahs ! M. Fromkes, an-American painter, who came on the Noordam, said the probability of Holland's joining the War was so great that foreigners were preparing to leave. The Belgians are quiet at present, he said, but are only waiting an opportunity to rise against their conquerors. The cause of indignation In the land of dykes seems to be the grti- cles which have appeared in German papers forecasting the annexation of Holland, 'as well as Belgium, at the close of the war. FEELERS FOR PEACE Germany Making Many Moves, Says Rumors At London. London, June 25.--Many curious rumors are widely circulating here concerning the growing German de- sire for peace. These rumors, com- ing from the most diverse continen- tal sources, are that the German Gov- ernments are, wholly but informally and indirectly, attempting to persu- ade either the Pope or the American President to sound the 'Allies upon a proposal to end the war as a draw. There is a growing German party, unable yet to make itself heard in the press, using its influence for peace. ------------------ Travers Captures Gold Trophy. Philadelphia, June ' 25.--Jerome D. Travers, national open goif cham. pion, won the Lynnewood Hall cup at the Huntingdon Val Country Club by defeating in the round of match play Max Marston, Bal- tusrol, the New Jersey champion, 2 up, 1 to play. Travers' victory gave him perma. nent possession of the gold phy, which wag placed in com in 1906, after Harold B. M land in 1905 won the origina] eup offered fif- teen years ago. Travers won a leg in 1906,, and second two years later. COM ING OF TOURISTS This Section of Canada Promises To Be Thronged By Summer Visitors From the States. The Gates of Europe Will be. Practically Closed and the Tourists Will Turn Their Feet Towards the Domin- ion---There is no Restriction to Prevent Free Intercourse Between the Countries. Max That this section will be the most prosperous from a tourist traffic standpoint that the Dominion of Can- ad has ever enjoyed, due chiefly to the inability of the KEurope-loving American to visit his favorite Old World resorts, the opinion of Gar- nault Agassiz, magazine writer, and publicity representative of the Can- ada Steamship lines which the one hundred and fifteen vessels in operation on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence is routed to be the largest inland navigation company. "Each year," said Mr. Agassiz, "more 'than 125,000 tourists from the United States"have been in the habit of summering in Europe, leav- ing behind them a sum computed by the Department of Commerce to be fully $350,000,000. 'This year the gates of Europe will be practiéally closed. The tourist will have to go somewhere, and Canada feels that with her magnificent scenery, won. derful climate, and her unparalleled sporting facilities, she wil] be able to attract a very large number. "Copditions are about commensu- rate with conditiong here. The un- certainty of the past féw months has been outlived, and prosperity looms large on the horizon of the to-mor- row; The visitor to Canada will find "things just as in other years. The somewhat ubiquitoug soldier, the outward indication of the Domin. ion's purpose to live up to her im- (TH Po Review The Hamilton Derby race will be run this afternoon, Tex Westerzill, a third baseman with the Brooklyn Federals, has been purchased by the Chicago Club of the Federal League. "New York positively will be rep- resented in the Federal League in 1916, and in all probability Boston will be too," said President James E. Gilmore, of the Federa] League, Thomas Betts, a well-known Ca- nadian lacrosse player and hundred yards runmer, died suddenly after finishing second in & race in the Ca- nadian sports at London, Eng. . His death was due to overstrain of the heart. Abe Attell, the ex-feather weight champion, is going to try his hand at the boxing game again. He has been signed up to fight Frankie Fleming, the Canadian champion, for ten rounds at a show to be staged by the Hochelaga A. A. of Montreal on the afternoon of July 1st. Toronto Globe: The war has shown its effeetg on sport in more way than one, and it is primarily due to the conflict that the Niagara District Baseball League has decided to with. draw its schedule for the balance of the season. The attendance at the games so far played has been so small that the clubs have been un- able to make both endg meet. A meeting was held recently, when it ' . + ¥ perial obligations, will be the only suggestion of the war abroad, aud, if anything, less of the war will be heard than on this side of the boun- dary. "The Dominion Government has placed no restrictions on free inter- course between the two countries. No passports wil] be required, nor will the tourist have to comply with any but the accepted regulations of nominal times. In fact, the Amer- ican yacationist will be more wel- come this summer than ever before, for the Dominion feels that 1915 presents an opportunity for the ex- ploitation of her scenic and climatic advantages that may never recur." Mr. Agassiz, who has been travel- ling steadily for the past two and a half months, having visited "every large centre east of the Mississippi, and some beyond in that time, be- lieves the United States faces the dawn of the greatest era of prosper- ity in her history. Bverywhere he hag found unmistakable signs of business recovery, and 'a return of national confidence in the inherent destiny of the country. The Bryan resignation, he thinks, has served to clarity the situation, because the people as a whole, feeling that the interésts of America will be gonserv- ed, will not be 80 prone to hasty ae. tion. Vaciliation could have had only one ending, and that would not have been a peaceful one. was the unanimous opinion of all the club representatives that they disband for the rest of the season. The teams in the league are: Wt. Catharines, Hamilton Rowing Club, Welland, Port Colborne, Niagara Falls and Tonawanda. Owen Moran, the English boxer, lost a chance recently to become the legitimate feather weight champion of England, He met Edwards, of Wales, at the National Sporting Club of Loudon, and, after punish- ing him severely for nine rounds, he Jest his head in tbe tenth and dealt Edwards a foul blow, and was dis- qualified. A letter received by George Ross, of the Torontp post-offie,from Lieut. Alexander Sinclair, the Argonaut oarsman and Rughy player, says that he left the hospit in England, where he was jaid up with marching scalde and blood poisoning, on May 28th, and is back in the trenches. Honus Wagner, "baseball's grand old man," received thousands of congratulations yesterday on his és- tablishment of a second record. By clouting a timely homer Wagner scored his one hundredth ' circuit clout since he broke into the game. His other record is for the greatest number of hits.
