Belloni, of the Royal Italian Flying orps. : Lieut. Belloni pointed out that the machines could be built in American airplane factories in large numbers, and as there were plenty of airmen available for the service, there only remained organization, faith and skill to make trans-Atlantic flights sue- cessful. ey PRINCESS MARY TRAIN- Je AS A NURSE.

The princess will attend box, the hospital two days each week, and will undertake the usual work of a probationer #f order to make herself efficient in the care of children, omen Sete Bavarian Crops Unusually Poor.

A despatch from British Head- quarters in France says: Nightly raids, with disastrous consequences to the enemy, continue to be the only military development on this front. The obtaining of samples, or prison- 00;| ers, is one reason for these expedi- tions into the German lines at differ- ent points, but they are killing expe- ditions above all. One raiding party accounted for over 100 Germans dur- ing one of these recent incursions }|into the enemy - trenches, although only 20 prisoners were taken. The Germans understand the vicious character of these encounters and 0%; | ght desperately. Earlier in the wag many of them would have been con- sidered pretentious operations, but now they are only raids. The Ger- mans are loath to have the British ob: tain any prisoners for identification, especially as they are bringing into line divisions which have been rest- ing during the past month or more. As a consequence general. barrages are frequent, though of short duration and his very light red and green balls of fire signals proclaim his nervous- ness.

OF WHEAT IN CANADA Grain Supervisors Estimate This Amount on Hand May 31. A despatch from Ottawa says: There were 20,600,000 bushels of wheat in Canada on May 81 last, a census made by the Board of Grain Supervisors has shown. There were, moreover, products equivalent to an additional 14,150,000 bushels of wheat, There were in the farmers' hands in the West 5,000,000 bushels; in West- ern elevators and flour mills, about 6,760,000 bushels; in Eastern elevat- ors, 6,635,885 bushels, and in transit about 2,000,000 bushels. It is estimat- ed that there are ground 6,750,000 bushels in Eastern Canada, and 7, 400,000 in Western, Adding these products to the actual wheat in store, there were the equivalent of 84,650,- 000 bushels in the country on May 81. In the month of April the British Wheat Export Company exported 11, 000,000 bushels. in freee | CANADIAN TROOPS REACH ENGLAND.

A despatch from London says: A communication issued by the Air Min- istry on the work of the air squad- rons says: * "On the night of June 26-27 our air- planes attacked the chemical works at udwigshafen, the factories and rail- way sidings at Saarbrucken and the airdrome at Bolchen. Joveral bombs at - brucken, At the Bolchen pa 0 hangars were set on fire and also machine, which was out on the airdrome. "All our machines returned safely. One of our machines, which yesterday was reported missing, has since re- turned. "The enemy bombed one of our air- dromes during the night, No damage was done to our airplanes." ,The War Office communication on aerial operations on Thursday night says - "Several German ' machines were brought down by our airmen on June 26,.and two others were driven down out of control. Two of our airplanes are missing. "With the improvement of the wea- ther more photographic and observa- tion work was accomplished than has been possible for some time. Our bombing 'machines dropped 14% tons of explosives on enemy railway sta- tions, dumps, transports and billets and on the Bruges docks, "On the night of June 26-27 bomb- ing operations continued and 166 tons of bombs were dropped by our night- flying machines on various targets, without loss." "On Tuesday night successful at- tacks were made by us on the enemy's airdrome at Belcham. Observation was difficult, but much damage is be- lieved to have been done, a fire was started. The bombs were released from a low altitude, and machine guns fired into the hangars. Our planes were twice attacked 'with ma- chine gun fire by low-flying machines, one of which was brought to a stand- still. "A large number of bombs were also dropped on railway sidings at Metz-Sablons. "On Wednesday a railway establish- ment and a powder works at Karls- ruhe were attacked with good results. The powder works, main station and other buildings were hit. Our forma- tions were heavily attacked by hostile airplanes, and three of our machines have not returned." MANY U-BOATS SUNK DURING MAY British Navy Reaped Best Har- vest Yet Recorded. A despatch from London says: "The month of May was really the most favorable we have yet had." This is the comment of Archibald S. Hurd, the naval writer, in the Daily Telegraph. He adds: "It is common knowledge that ow- ing to the large number of submar- ines destroyed the enemy paid a higher price for every ton of shipping sunk than in any corrésponding period since piracy was inaugurated." "The offensive by sea was still be ing maintained by the Germans during May with the utmost vigor, but in spite of the unprecedented number of submarines sent to sea only 224,000 tons of British tonnage was lost, as compared with 874,000 in May of last year. "In spite of the fact that losses from marine risks were 'unduly heavy,' it can now be said definitely that the enemy's effort to cripple us by sea by an offensive simultaneous to attacks on the western front has failed definitely. "Although exact figures are want- ing of the sinkings of submarines, it is known they reached a higher figure last month than in any period since the submarine campaign began.

Three weeks ago Major Bishop jouk So, Jrel to France 3 hand-picked fighting squadron, whom a large percentage were Canad-- ians. The squadron was with the latest and best British fi ing airplanes, and in the short time they have been at the front have accounted for an extraordinary num- ber of enemy machines, = Major Bishop's record of Boche airplanes brought down in aerial combat has now reached a total of 72. If reckoned on the same basis as that of the late Baron von Bichthofen, champion German airman, who counted double seated machines as two victories, Major Bishop's total would be well over the century mark. The day Major Bishop was to leave France for England he determined to attempt to bring down one more Ger- man airman before his departure at noon. At 9.40 his machine left the airdrome. At 9.56 he met five German scouting Pfalz machines and one Ger- man two-seater, just east of Ploeg- steerte, Flanders He shot down two scouts and so successfully chased two others that their pilots lost their heads, and crashed their machines into each' other, both collapsing in midair.' The Canadian then attacked the German two-seater, shooting it down in flames, despite the attempt of the fifth scout machine to interfere. Failing in its attempt, the last German ma~ chine flew away, escaping the vigor-- ous pursuit of the Canadian, who re- turned to the airdrome in time for luncheon and to catch his train. KERENSKY ESCAPES FROM RUSSIA Dramatic Appearance Before Labor Council in London. A despatch from London says: M. Kerensky, former Premier of Rus- sia, who at the Labor Conference, on the Russian situation, said: "I am here to appeal to the peoples of west- ern lands in behalf of the Russian people. I am here to assure the allies that Russia is ready to rejoin them in the struggle for' the triumph of lib- erty. The Russians are determined never to submit to the German yoke. On every hand throughout the coun- try there are now indications, despite the chaos and misery of the Bolshevik regime, of the possibility of a great regeneration, which the aid of the allies and America may bring about. When the allies come to our aid the days of the Bolsheviki will be num- bered and Russia will welcome her old self. She is now only awaiting a sign of help and sympathy." He will shortly sail for America. He left Russia less than three weeks age by way of Mourmansk. The time be- tween the day of his disappearance from public affairs and his departure from Russia he spent in Novogorod, Petrograd and Moscow. His wife re- mains in Russia, in hiding. Although Kerensky's evasion of the police agents of his own country was facilitated by a moustache and a long beard, which he grew in kis long months of hiding, he did not think this sufficient to disguise him- self, and added the dress of a sol- dier servant. A friend procured for him the pass and other papers of an orderly, and finally he began to move more publicly about the streets of Moscow. Finally he risked passage on the railway and got out of the country. -------- Thomas McKenzie of the United States Forest Service has_been en- deavoring to arrange with the British Columbia authorities for summer pas. ture in the Pacific Coast Province for. 1,000,000 American sheep.
