For ob- vious reasons the Admiralty does not report every instance of British suc. cess in this line. It 13 éurrently re ported that a huge net, stretched across the Channel from Dover to Calais, caught three subs. in two days.

The latest returns give the Liberals, forty seats, Con- servatives, five and Social Demo- crats one. Elections in The Pas, Grand Rapids and Churchill and Nelson were deferred, and these constituencies will likely add to the Government's majority. The unparalleled character of the landslide in Manitoba is shown by the fact that the standing of the par- legislature last May, 'when the Roblin Government re- signed, was twenty-eight Conserva- tives as against twenty-one Liber; als. 4 Furthermore, every member of the Norris Cabinet was returned to pow- er with majorities which were great- ly in¢reased over those of July. 1914. Premier Norris was elected by a majority of 812 in Lansdowne, his opponent, W. J. Cundy, losing his deposit; Hon. A. B. Hudson, At- torney-General and Hon. T. H.

Geneva, Aug. 7 (via Paris) --Ad- vices from Essen say that all the de. | mands of the employees of the Krupp works have been granted, and that a serfous strike has thus been avert- ed. The German military authori- ties brought great pressure on the Krupp administration to this end. | Many of the skilled workmen dur- ing the early part of the troubles re. fused to continue at their machines, some of them entered the army, and were sent to the Russian front. Oth- ers in the ammunition department were replaced by women, |. There wag no strike among the en. | gineers and draughtsmen. The se- rious situation, which was admitted even by the Frankfurter Zeitung, ms now to have passed, p ork continues on the production of war munitfons night and day, in three shifts.
