As stated, the officer commanding the Australian and New Zealand army corps was instructed to under- take operations having as theif ob ject the necessity of detaching troops on his front for re-enforcemernt at the southern area.

The island municipal- ity seems to have a great pull with the powers that be in getting its Strong men made peelers, The Lampman las no doubt that the members of the 'Indian Corps" would object to being drawn up on the Market Square for review by the town bartenders each month, as sug- gested by Lawyer Rigney. When the license commigsloner and his le- | gal adviser do not knew all the mem- bers of this corps by sight, how ean the bar attendants be expected to get acquainted with them unless, for. mal receptiong are held regularly?

A Gananoque clergyman in ad- dressing a Wolfe Island garden party crowd the other night told the island: lassies that if he were one of them he would be ashamed to be seen with a young man unless he were clad ina i soldier's uniform, That was a hard shot for the Wolle Island able. bodied men, who have not shown up well at the recruiting stations, Here Is a grand chance for the soldiers in Barriefield Camp to stimulate re- eruiting on the island, the Lampman says. Let them send over a vouple of hundred khaki-clad men every af. ternoon and get all the island belles. The dandelion remedy appears to the Lampman to be like the one to get rid of flies, namely, by catching them and killing them one by one. He expects to see everybody at work on their lawns these evenings with Tha Lampman supposes that doe- tors claims to have as much right as judges to give different opinions about a case.

E. J. Devine, 8.J., in the | current issue of.the Canadian Mes- | sepger of the Sacred Heart. = Rev.| Father Devine, who is one of the] best-known Jesuit priests in America | in the course of his "call upon the! generosity of the Catholics of the! Dominion of Canada," remarks that | a recent letter from Rome stated that | one of the effects of the present Eu-| ropean war is an abnormal reduc-| tion in the number of Peter's Pence | contributions. If these conditions] continue, according to Rev. Father | Devine, serious conditions must fol- | low which will be detrimental to the Church and her interests. | In referring to the multitude of] reasons for such an appeal to Catho- | lies, the Rev. Father Devine says that the Pope was obliged to provide for the maintenance of; the various congregations, commissions, ete., which help him to govern the hund-| reds of millions of Catholics who live] on every continent, and who look to the Pope for spiritual direction. According to Father Devine, there was a time when these appeals were not necessary. When the Holy See had its own patrimony Peter's Pence which Catholics imposed upon themselves, Now, says Father Devine, owing to the changed condition of things in Italy and the enormous interests at stake, the contribution of Peter's Pence should in this age be consider-| ,: ed an obligatory one. ! time and In conclusion, the Rev. Father De- however, vine states that the nations which have heretofore been generous in this part the matter of Peter's Pence are in- volved in a death struggle, and many channels through which aid had been sent are indefinitely closed. Who are to take their places except the Cath- olics of the rest of the world? asked Father Devine. No mention is made by the Rev. Father Devine as to the course to pursued in ordér to secure funds but it was stated in well-informed Church circles last night that it would take the usual form of the Peter's Pence collection in the var. lous parish churches of the country, -------- New German Salve.

'When the | submarine was first encountered it | was on the surface and fired shots | | across the Armenian's bow, as a cruiser might, for a signal to her! to stop.

"He, therefore, "was justified in| | running away, and the responsibility for the deaths which resulted can- | not be laid at his door. "The dead Americans are just as | much victims of German illegal sub. | marine methods as if they had been | drowned after the ship was torpe- doed, and no one would need to be anxious to shérk the issue which | their deaths raised if one accepted any other conclusion."

Paris, July 3.--A young French officer, who was wounded during a German counter-attack three days after the last inch of the famous "Labyrinth" had been finally won, has given a realistic description of the struggle for the maze of block- houses, trenches and dugouts. "Trench war is nothing," he says, "as compared to the fighting in com- munication tremches. The 'Laby- rinth' fighting lasted nearly three weeks w Imagine narrow galleries, feebly lighted by oil lamps, where the com- batants are only separated by sand- bags which push against one an- other. Directly an opening appears a desperate hand-to-hand struggle takes place, the only weapons being hand grenades and cold steel. The Germans sometimes use knives and brownings, and on one occasion they 'used a corrosive liquid which caused serious burns. Our men, however, invariably got the better of them, often finishing up with the butt end of rifles and even with fists.

York; July 2. ~~Commenting on the sinking of the Arménian, the New York Herald.said: "Whoever deliberately puts him. elf In danger must expect to lose his life. ~ Whoever gois to England aboard a ship salling under the Brit- ish flag and laden with contraband must expect to be sunk by one of the German submarines lying forever in British waters. "When all the facts connected with the sinking of thé Armenian are at hand, it will probably be shown that even the rather temperate indigna- | tion shown by the Allied press to-day was not at all in place. "The persons concemed in ren- dering the relations between Ger. many and America as strained as possible will do their utmost to make capital out of the sinking of the Armenian That must, never- theless, not confuse the friends of peace. If the strained situation in- vokéd by the sinking of the Lusita- nia could be successfully smoothed out, it will certainly 'be more possible to do so in the present case. For the Armenian had no passengers aboard. It was used for the trans. port of contraband and for no other purposes," TAKING NO CHANCES Lawyer Gog To England Has Life- ving Suit.
