Cars Give Aid. A S---- SHIPS CARRYING VICTUALS AND | MATERIALS ARE SUNK. The Russian Submarines Were Ac- tive And Successful in Their Work Over One Hundred Vessels Were Destroyed During March. London, April 10.--A special to the London Dally Telegraph from Rome says: According to -informe- tion at the Russian Embassy the Turks have succeeded in getting im- portant reinforcements to Trebizond and Sivas, said to number eighty or ninety battalions with artillery. The Germans supplied thousands of mo- tor cars for the purpose of carrying them from railhead. The arrival of these -reinforce. ments explains the resistance of the | Turks on the Asiatic front. The feeding of the Turkish army continues a problem. Constant at- tempts are made to send food and material by sea, but few of the ships arrive, being sunk by Russian sub- marines and destroyers. Since the beginning of March the Russians have destroyed a hundred or more Turkish vessels. According to the Turkish situation in Asia Minor is improved only for the moment, and the Russian advance soon will move irresistibly on. belief here the | COMPLAINT 1S MACE THAT HOME IS IN A VERY SANITARY CONDITION UN- Child Is 111 And Matter Has Been Reported to Mayor Richardson -- Alleged Landlord Threatened to Put Family On Street For Non- Payinent of Rent. That the stand of Mayo# Richard- fon to. have an investigation regard- | ing houses in"Kingston, which are in| an unsanitary condition, is well tak- | en, was shown on Monday morning, | in a case which 'was revealed. The house complained of is situ- | ated on Queen street, and it is stat- | ed that the roof of the house is $0 | badly in need of repairs, that it is | unfit to live in. According to the report made to the 'Mayor, the kit- chen is the only room in the house that can be used, and it is not up to much at that. If the reports are true concerning the house, it should | not be rented. "Phe home is occupied by a man and his wife and several children, the youngest a baby, six months old, and the saddest part of the story is | that one member of the family is | quite {1l. It is further alleged that as a result of the man being behind one month in the payment of his rent, the jandlond threatened to put the family out on the street. It will be remembered that at the| beginning of his term, Mayor Rich- ardson referred to unsanitary hous- es fh the eity, and the mattér was brought to the attention of the Board of Health. The Board of| Health has the matter in hand, and | is anxious to have action taken, and taken as quickly as possible, but ow. jog to the fact that the Board has no sanitary inspector, the members are up against it. The question of the] appointment of an inspector is now | ander discussion. The Board asked the Council to provide for a| man for this work. Military Superintendent.

Ottawa, April 10.--The week in parliament opens with all eyes turn- ed the mid-Atlantic, where the vessel bringing Ger. Hughes from England is boring its way toward New York. Will his coming bring peace or war, is the question the gov- ernment is asking itself to-day. And nobody has an answer at present. General Hughes is expected here on Thursday or Friday. It is not ex- pected that he will waste much time before appearing in the House, though it is probable he will hold a lengthy conference with the Prime Minister before he does so. A Conservative caucus will be held on Tuesday, when there will' be a heart-to-heart talk over the whole situation. The caucus will doubt- less discuss the Hughes' situation as well as the proposed C.

London, April 10--Japan and Bel- |'gium will join with Breat Britain France, Russia, and Italy in the great conference to take place short- ly in aris to decide on joint action for destroying German trade ambi- tions after the war. Serbia may also | be represented. The conference will also consid. {er an immediate closer commercial | and financial union between the Al-| lies against Germany.

Michael 'McMahon, who | went overseas with the First Cana- | dian contingent from Brockville, and was last seen on Aprid 24th, 1915) fighting bravely in the great battle of St. Juliew where the Canadians saved the day and rolled back from Ypres the mighty wave of German soldiers who thought they had open- | ed a road to Calais. Since that | time no definite tidings of Sergt, Mc- Mahon have been received although relatives have used every effort to trace him and enquiries have been made in German prison camps with- out avail. - -He was thirty-nine years of age, a member of the 41st Regi- ment for nine years, a fine soldier and genial good fellow whe made friends everywhere and the uncer tainty of his fate has caused much | concern not only tp his wife, family, | and relatives but to his many friends generally. A letter just received by Sergt. MoMahon's daughter, Mrs. Roy Mul- ig len, 20 Kincard street, from a soldier friend of the family, is the most dir- ect news vet received, and indicates | that Sergt. McMahon was wounded and when last seen was bravely de- fying the Huns. " There is still a chance that he may have been taken prisoner and through the nature of his injuries may be still unable to communicate with his friends. Remembered the Day. Havre, April 10.--The birthday of | King Albert of Belgium was official- | ly celebrated by an imposing mani- festation of the Belgian Minister of War.

Toronto, April 10.--A tribute to the public spirit of his colleagues in the Legislature during the last five years, and their unfaltering and now successful advocacy of radical tem- perance reform, was paid by N. W. Rowell, on Saturday afternoon, speaking at thé annual meeting of the East York Liberal Association, held here, "While the Temperance Bill was under consideration in the House," said Mr. Rowell, "The Premier and Provincial Secretary presented their views on the part taken by the Con- servative party of this Province, in connection with legislation dealing all parts of the] Wilson suffering from a troublesome to-day and remained in the White It was reported at the White House, early to-day, how- Russia and A have agreed to guarantee to Belgium the Integrity of the Belgian Congo similarly to the guarantee for the integrity of | Watharte April 10.

May I be pardoned this afternoon if I pause to pay a tribute to the worthy part played in this great struggle by the gallant band of men who surround me in the Leg- islature, "When my colleagues and I adopted our policy for the abolition of the bar, a number of thé Liberal members who gave their hearty .as- sent' to thé conclusions reached, | stated that the adoption of such a | policy would mean defeat for them at the ensuing election. Although | these men recognized that they were | tak'ng their poltical lives in their hands, although they believed that the course proposed probably meant | for them political defeat, they cheer- { fully and heartily joined with us in | framing the policy, because they be- lieved it was in the public interest. What some of my colleagues feared came true, and they fell in the gen- eral election of 1914, nobly and courageously fighting for the cause | Which is to-day triumphant. They | gave their political lives thai this | cause might triumph, "My friends who sit around me adopted this poliey, not at a time when almost all men were its advo- cates; not at a time when it was con- sidered the properand patrioticthing to do; but they adopted it at a time when some people, at least, were disposed. to scoff and mock, and at a time when we were de- iscr'bed by many as faddists and cranks. "I venture to think," declared Mr. | Rowell, "that there is no finer chap- ter in the history of the Liberal Par- ty in this Province than the heroic efforts and sacrifices made by the party during the past four years in the interests of temperance reform; and there are no men more grati- fled to-day than the Liberals of On- tario that this great achievement is to-day thé work of a united Legisla- ture." Nelson Parliament, M.P.P, for Prince Edward County, spoke with Mr. Rowell and told of the efforts of the Liberals in the House to secure agricultural reforms. HOT FIGHTING STILL CONTINUES.

East of the. fiver the German assaults gained no appreciable results. There were violent attacks east and west of the Meuse River over a front of nearly fifteen miles from Hil 304 to Fort Douaumont. On the east bank of the Meuse, a violent struggle occurred east of Vacherauville, south of Douaumont. The French made some progress on German communicating trenches in that region. In the Woevre region and around the villages of the Meuse hills heavy bambardments occurred last night. Heavy Loss Reported.

FEARING THE CANUCKS AND THUS MAINTAINING TER- RIFIO ARTILLERY FIRE. An Old Brick Barn is Held Jointly-- Canadians At One End and Ger- mans at the Other--The Job is » Hard One But the Canadians Arve Getting the Upper Hand. London, April 10.---Ypres is bom- barded night and day and with shells of such calibre as to show that big guns have been brought back to this section. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night there was one con- tinuous bombardment, the Germans thinking that we were to launch a big attack. It was following this that Germans regained a small sec- tion of trenches by a desperate night attack, which cost them heavily. Dur- ing the day this section was blown up by our miners and we hold a rem- nant of the trenches. It is the clo- sest fighting that Carfadians have been in for many months. At the north end of our section we hold one end of an old brick barn, while a battalion of Jaegars hold the other, a barricade of broken bricks being between, and each side having picked shots firing point blank at fif- teen yards. Gradually we are get- ting the upper hand, but the job is a difficult one, because the Germans have established themselves so.com- pletely. Considering how erce have been these fights and how ter- rific has been the artillery fire, our losses have not been heavy. Every. body is cheerful and confident, say officers arrived back, and everybody expects 'something doing" the next six weeks. The Canadian Eye-Witness writes: A patrol of our 21st Eastern On- tario Battalion, under Capt. Shep- herd, entered an enemy front line trench and finding it unoccupied made an examination of the-trench and of the ground beyond it for a hundred yards, A wiring party was heard at work and our patrol was fir- ed on by sentries in the German se- cond line, but suffered no casualties. On the night of April 1st Lieut. Southey, with Ptes. Northey and Hind, of our 21st Eastern Ontario Battalion, entered an enemy trench and proceeded along it for 70 yards Our patrol was then fired upon by the enemy but returned safely. War Tidings.

Tried to Kick Ligh Lighted Grenade From Trench, And It Exploded. rt Ottawa, April 10.--Details of the heroic death of Lieut. Normaa Salis. bury, who was killed at the Dardan- elles last December, have been re- ceived by H. B. McGowan, manager of the Québec Bank. He was a mem- ber of the Ottawa Rowing Club and was the only son of Rev. Norman Salisbury of London, Eng. He eulist- ed with the first contingent and got a commission in Kitchener's new army: An eye-witness of his death writes: The lieutenant came into the bomb ing sap in the best of health and spir- its, laughing and joking with hia fel- low-ofticers and the men under hin. We had been busy for an hour qr so, throwing grenades into the I'irkis) trenches, for which purpcse we used a catapult, The catapult went wrong an¢ we could not get it to work piopariy. Salisbury took charge, removal his coat and began to work on the cata- pult, which was in one end of the sap. He finally thought he had fixed it and said, "Hand me a grenade," He then ordered us to stand back, fired the fuse and let it go. But, alas, the right side broke, and the bomb, instead of go- ing toward the Turkish trenches, shot back over his shoulder and down into our trench. Realizing what had happened, Lieut. Salisbury turn- ed and put his hands to his raouth, shouting, "Run, men, run", He then deliberately dashed toward the bomb and took a flying kick in the hope of driving it out of the trench before it exploded. Unfortunately it went off at that instant, killing the lieutenant and two of his men, so you see your boy died willing in an effort to save his men. He did not show the white feather and certainly saved some of us by his brave conduct and his or der to clear. FOUR VESSELS WERE TORPEDOED.

Khaki weddings of non-coms and privates are becoming too numerous tor the militia department, and =a bulletin against them has just been issued by the department of militia. Copies have been received by the commanding officers of Kingston battalions. The document says that many recruits have married since en- listment without permission and are claiming separation allowance, The applications are being refused on the ground that "the separation allowance was intended to provide for the families of married men who had enlisted as such and whose fam- ilies would otherwise have been in want or become g heavy burden on the patriotic fund. "It was not the government's in- tention to encourage men to marry after enlistment, as that would in- crease the already 'heavy expenses, under separation allowance, and in case of the soldier's death would ne- cessitate placing his widow on the pension list." In the case of lovers betrothed be- fore enlistment, separation allow- ance will be granted "provided the application has the recommendation of the officer commanding the unit in which the man is serving." The recommendations of the O.
