A Belgian woman, with a ragged red cloak over her shoulders, is holding tightly to her breast an infant in a shawl. Around the child is clasped the mother’s hand â€"a hand which spells starvation. in the Woman’s face there is the infinite sorrow of motherhood, !driven to despair by German in- humanity, and the pitii’ul, helpless yearning to relieve the child’s suffering. _ .i. ‘ 0‘ 1 Medical Directorv. -nll ’ III-Iv -- w Otfice: 13.

Issuer of eml huancml ad uate ‘r MM ISSION insurance lvua) te-r’ Bria» busi President Wilsonon Monday sent a 1 note to the German Government ac- C i ce’pting its declaration of abandon- t? , ment of illegal submarine warfare and P : rejecting the suggestion that the a 1 United States regard this abandon- t 2 ment as conditional upon Great Brit- t ain’s action with respect to the block- t ade. The text of the note follows in ( part: “The note of the Imperial Ger-, 1 man Government under date of May < 4, 1916, has received careful consider- 1 ation by the Government of the .1 United States. It is especially noted 1 as indicating the purpose of the Im- ' perial German Government as to the future that it “is prepared to do its utmost to confine the operations of the war for the reSt of its duration , to the fighting forces of the belliger- 9 ents,” and that it is determined to '= impose upon all its commanders at ‘ sea the limitations of the recognized rules of international law upon which the Govermnent of the United States has insisted. Accepting the Imperial 8 Governnnain.’s declaration of its aban-‘ 5 donment of the policy which has so‘ seriously menaced the good relations‘ '.' between the two countries the Govern- "' ment of the United States will rely upon a scrupulous execution hence- forth of the now altered policy of! the Imperial Government, such as will i remove the principal danger to an in- l _ i I (4 .v terruption o; the good relations eXIst- ‘ ling belxxmg; the United States and lGermany.

Cymric. whim for some time has been ‘ engaged in. .‘gc-.ight service, has been‘ torpedoed by a German submarine, ‘ according to London advices. The in- formation of the White Star Company at Liverpool is to the effect that the steamer was torpedoed aboutnoon Monday. The C: ’niric left New Yorkg April :39 with an enormous cargo of‘ war muniticns. , She usually makes the voyage in ten days, she was there- fore, within a day or two of her des- tination. The crew aboard numbered 110 men, but the steamer carried no passengers except five sick British seamen. Qaeenstown reported on Tuesday: The. Cymric was torpedoed [at four o‘clock Monday afternoon. It is reported that she is still afloat, and is proceeding; to an Irish port. This indicates that the Cymric had been at- tacked oi‘i‘ the south-west or south coast of Ireland, possibly not far from where the Lusitania went down. It is officially stated at Ottawa there are no Canadians aboard the Cymric. Neutrality and Mediation Desiredâ€" President Unlikely to Heed A new appeal for peace from Pope Benedict to President Wilson was de- livered at the White House on Satur- day by the Papal Delegate,. Monsignor Giovanni Bonzano. The POpe urged the President to maintain his neutral- ity and to do his utmost by mediation 1‘1-_-j___ -‘IJ “â€"â€" to bring peace to Europe. Coming only 24 hours after the German note, in which similar hints appear, omcials decided that the message was based on appeals from the Central Empires. The President did not see Monsignor Bonzano, and it is unlikely that he will heed either the appeal of the Pope or the obscure hints of the German Government. .11; A London despatoh on Monday said: Several lively local actions have been ‘ fought on the British front this week- end, but none of them has appreciably altered the general situation. A suc- cessful raid was tarried out on the German lines near Authuile under cover of a bombardment. The Gor- mans raided and penetrated the Brit- ish trenches southeast of Armentieres. but were immediately thrown out and retired to their own lines. They tried to make a raid on British trenches east of Cabaret Rouge and were re- pulsed. Petrograd despatches say: An - portant victory has just been won' y the Russians on the road from Persia to Bagdad, where, by the occupation of the strongly organized points of the defences of Zarinalkerind, Mesa . mia, the Turks have been com ed to retire hastily.

Col. Cantley, asked if any undue influence was brought to bear on him in making the awards, em- [I phatically answered: “Certainly not.” Col. Watts replied in the negative to the questions of Mr. Hellmuth as to ‘ any knowledge of corruption and as 1 to whether Gen. Sir Sam Hughes, ‘ Minister of Militia, had discussed with them or attempted to influence the Committee in letting its contracts. From Col. Watts’ evidence, it ap- pears that he was most active in try- ing to keep the manufacture of fuses in Canada. He was evidently con- vinced, however, that although fuses and cartridge cases could be made in ‘Canada the firu', orders must go to i the American concerns because of the l . urgency. It was to him T. A. Russell 1. and Lloyd i: arris first made complaint, land he immediately took it up with ‘Gen. Bertram. Col. Watts informed‘ i the Commission that it was Gen. Pease , of the British War Office who first in- i formed the members of the Shell Com- l mission that they were paying too Emuch for i‘uses. | On Party Vote 1 - On a straight party vote in the Commons Triday afternoon, Mr. Car- ‘vell’s metiezi tor a widening of the iscope of the Meredith-Duff Commis- ‘lsion to aliew Mr. E.

French lm‘iict Great Losses on Arcund Hill 304 London (2..,s:;pat.ches Sunday night| said: Heavy fighting again broke out in the region of Verdun today with the German zlorces making furious at- tacks agzainst iiill 304, on the western bank of the Blouse, and against the line betmugm I-iaudremont wood and Fort Donatnnont, and failing to gain their objeczive. The only result'o‘n- tained by the Germans was the pene- tration of i'rench underground pas- sageways at. tile hill and the gaining of a footing in about a third of a mile of French first line trenches near Fort Douaumont. All their attacks were broken in the centre and the right. The principal attack appears to have been launched with great fury against ‘ ‘ Hill 304. and the German losses were 'correspondingly serious. The waves of the assault were met by a furious fire from French machine guns and batteries. The infantry, it appears, did not come to close quarters. The German lines were energetically bom- barded during the assault. The fight ing here was preceded by a two days’ bombardnitnt of great intensity, but it failed to snake the nerves of the French defenders. They clung to their ‘ ground and fiercely resisted the onsets I of the enemy.

':'>.<>.pleted to a mere handful by the intense bombardment of the Germans, the remnants of the garrison retreated on their battalion. The Can- adian artillery, hcwever, soon drove the enemy out of the crater, and a bombing party from the battalion again occupied the position, rescued wounded and restored the entrench- ments. A signal honor was paid to‘ the battalion by the General Comman- der-in-chief, who personally compli- mented it on its heroic work and steadiness under the trying ordeal. Two Ontario battalions repelled a de- termined attack on their trenches. The explosion of a very large mine by the enemy was the signal for a furious drive. Although the Germans gained a footing in one of the ad vanced trenches, the parapet of which had been smashed by artillery fire. | counter-attacks were quickly organized I and the Germans driven to their own I lines. Alderson Retiring and General Byng” to Command Canadians It is announced that Major-General Hon. Sir Julian Hedworth George Byng a distinguished English soldier, will shortly succeed Lieut.-General Sir E. A. H. Alderson as Commander of the Canadian troops at the front and Major-General Sir Sam Hughes, Minis- ter of Militia for Canada, probably will also take an active command. Limit-General Alderson has been in command of the_Canadian troops since _â€"‘A:â€"-‘.“ n‘n -vâ€"v the arrival of the first contingent at Plymouth, England, in October, 1914.
