A despatch from Ottawa says: Sir Thomas White has arranged to make a further advance of seventy-five mil lion dollars to the Imperial Govern- ment to be used for the purchase of munitions and supplies in Canada. The advances will be made at the rate of twenty-five millions a month during June, July and August. The Imperial authorities regard the con- tinued production of munitions in Canada as of the highest importance in connection with the great offensive now being carried on in France and Flanders. For a certain type of shell the British military authorities prin- cipally depend upon Canada's indus- trial establishments whose output has contributed in no small feature to the recent success at the front. These munitions can be purchased in Can- ada only if Canada provides the money by way of loan to the Imperial Treasury. Up to date the Dominion Government has found $2650,000,000 and the banks $100,000,000 for the purpose. The credits now established by the Government ensure continued munition orders for months to come, e------ PRES. WILSON AIDS RECRUITING Bets Apart Week of June 23 to 30 to Secure 70,000 Soldiers.

FRENCH GAINS IN CHAMPAGNE Score Successes on the Aisne and Regain Lost Ground. A despatch from Paris gays:--The big German offensive against the French line east of Vauxaillon Mon- day, in which trenches were stormed and captured, has gone for naught, for te French forces in a violent counter- offensive had regained nearly all their lost ground Tuesday night. Although the German had launched his attack with huge ef- fectives, composed of picked troops, and covered it by a heavy artillery fire and by bomb-dropping aircraft, his tenure of the captured positions was short-lived and only a salient, 400 metres north-east of the Moisy Farm, now remains in his hands. In addi- tion, the ? Germans, who left many dead on the field of battle. Likewise, in Champagne, the Crown Prince has been badly battered be- tween Mont Carnillet and Mons Blond. In an attempt to recapture positions previously taken from them, the Ger- mane first were repulsed by the French; "who then assumed the offen- sive and advanced their line on a front of more than 600 yards and to a depth in excess of 300 yards. Here also, the Germans lost heavily in men killed or wounded. oe faeces ORDERS OF CHIVALRY NOW OPEN TO -- WOMEN. ' -- Two New Distinctions Announced By King George.

The skeleton of this prehistoric mon- ster now has been definitely located, and the gradual exposure of it is pro- ceeding. 5 .
