Yells and im- precations against tie Minister have been quited Yor cheers for democra- tic Russia. Through all the disorder there ran the instinctive caution against aiding Germany by disrupt- ing Russia's forces. Extremist agi- tators who sought to urge a complete brotherhood with German soldiers were howled down. Nicholas Lenin, now recognized as a German-influen- ced agitator, was literally swept away when he tried to speak. The whole gist of the orator's re- marks seemed to be that the populace was unwilling to support any minis- try which would enter into secret treaties Pro-German peace agitators are being attacked in the streets of Petrograd by crowds of soldiers and citizens. Numerous clashes have oe- curred. Shots have been:fired and several persons are reported to have been wounded, GERMANS STILL STRONG THE ALLIES HAAR A HARD TIME STILL AHEAD, soldiers' Col. Repington States thie Position or the Huns Very Clearly--Theilr Morale Still Respectable. London, May 6,---Col. -Repington, the Times military critic, who has been at Arras, writes: The Germans are still"very strong, in fact stronger than they ever have been. It is not open to us to reckon they have less than 4,600,000 men 'in the Md on both fronts, 500,000 on the "Hine of communications, and 1,- 000,000 in depots in Germany. They have increased the number of divis- fons in the west to 155. Of this number there are 68 between here and the Oise. The German strengths are fairly well' maintaiged, compan- jes average 200 rirles." Those who doubted the existence of the new German divisions, which I often al- luded to, must now change their views, for all the first series of the new divisions, 13 in number, have been identified in one theatre. In another, Rowlinson's troops captur- ed 400 of these gentry in a recent af- fair. If there are still sceptics in the Government it would be well to par- ade these prisoners in Downing street and show the numbers on their ¢houlder-straps. Our admirable in- telligence service has once more been found to be a faithful guide. Outlook "sul § Serious. To be still confronted by 6,000,000 German fighters makes the later sta- ges of the war a serious matter for all the allies, We have, besides, to%reckon with 500,000(men of each successive German class as it is call- "ed ap. The 1918 German class is al- ready incorporated. The 1919 class is in depots. But there is a reverse to this. The German method of combing out the €erman industries is practically: at an end.

There will not be enough, if the fighting contin- ues on the old scale, to keep the ranks full. In this case at-some per- jod this, year Germany must begin to use part of her new formations as drafts. It may be a second series of new divisions will be drawn,upen for tuis purpose. These new WiTWis- jons exist, but they are in a g§ense a buff, for the German headquarters staff must have known perfectly Well when They formed them that, they could not, with diminished resources, of men, maintain 2560 divisions in the field. Certainly they know this, but placed all their goods in the shop window to create the illwsion taat their stock in hand was tmitless and to afford their enemies fresh reasons for listeging to offers of peace nego tiations The morale of the German armies on our front is still respectable. There are nothing bug active and reserve formations fighting the British. THE WORLD'S NEWS IN BRIEF FORM Tidings From All Over Told in a Pithy and Pointed Way.

The ! tolling of the bell in St. George's | cathedral tower told the city of the | passing of his lordship, | The late Bishop Mills was a son { of William Mills of Toronto, and | was born in January, 1846. From | his youth he determined to dedicase | himself to the ministrg of the church, and in pursuance of this object studied at Huron College and Western University, London, grad- | uating in 1872. He was ordained | deacon that year and priest in 1872 by the Bishop of Huron He was incumbent of Holy Trinity, Norwich, | 1872-4, Rector of St. Thomas', Sea- forth, 1874-5, of St. John's, Mont- real Diocese, 1875-82, and ° finally of Holy Trinity Montreal 1882-97.

On the death of Archdeacon Lewis in the follow- ing year, Bishop Mills became Bis- hop of Ontario, having thus presided Huron, Otta- years. Gifted Preacher As a scholar, Bishop Mills reached a very high standard. He took his B.D., in 1884, and his D.D., in 1894, after a very searching examination. Many students at Montreal Diocesan College owesmuch to the excellent teaching he gave them there, while _ his attainments made him very use- ful and effective as examining chap- lain to the Bishop. But it was per- haps as a preacher that he attained the highest point of his reputation. Gifted with a splendid presence and voice, and endowed with great nat- ural fluency of language, which was however always subordinated to clear, logical, and incisive thought, he ranked when at his best with the great preachers of the church, Cer- | tainly he was never happier than when 'in the pulpit, and the an- nouncgment that he was to preach seldom failed to draw a large aud- | fence, As Bishop, he gave ungrudginiy of his best to the little country churches in which he so often officiated in the course of his visitations. His stately presence, kindly courtesy, and grac- fous words will be greatly missed all over the Diocese, where he was a most familiar figure in consequence of his rule of visiting every station, however small, each year, During his Episcopate the Diocese has been strengthened in many waysjand has reaped much benefit from Ss wise administration. His high position and attainments marked him out as the recipient of several honorary degrees. Trinity College, Toronto in 1901, and Bis- hop's College, Lennoxville, in 1902, presented him with the D.C.L., and Queen's University, Kingston, the LL.D, in 1992. He also held the ad eundem degree of D.D., from Len- noxville. of Abounding G Generosity The late Bishop Mills was a man of abounding generosity. His gifts and subscriptions to diocesan funds were large, as were his private bene- factions, though the extent of the latter was only known to very few. He will be greatly missed and regret- ted by the whole Diocese, and his personal friends will always remem- ber their intercourse with his hos- pitable and pleasing personality. He faced a long and most distressing period of weakness and suffering without a murmur, never loging his courage or his cheerfulness, The sincere sympathy of all will go out to Mrs. Mills and her son | T Arthur Mills who was prevented by his duties at the front from coming home to see his father, and to all his surviving relatives, Tuesday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock to St. George's cathedral, and will be attended by all the Anglican bishops and college representatives who can reach here in time.

In confir mation of his statement on Thursday, he had from authoritative sources that the "Corner' which had Winnipeg wheat mar -' brought about by the the Brit learned occurred on the ket unusually had been large buying of ish Wheat Commission It was now suggested that the Bri- tish Wheat Commission should ac- cept from the verdors to the extent that they were short of contracts grades, wheat of lower grades, hav- ing regard in the price to its propor- tionate value for milling purposes. He had therefore eabled Sir George Perley asking him to take up the matter with the British Wheat Commission If, as a result of this cable," said Sir Thomas, "'relief is not afforded, the Government will have to consider such further action as may be deem- ed advisable in the public interest." Has it ever occurred to my honor- able friend," asked Sir Wilfrid Laurier, "that so long as it is known that the British Commission is buy- ing, there will always be a corner to hold them up, should not some ac- tion be taken to guard against that?" "It has long been known that the British Commission was buying," re plied the Minister of Finance.
