Morris, of Newfoundland, and W. F. hiasyryn of New Zealand. “The ultimate success of the allies‘ cause.“ Mr. Lloyd-George declared, “depends in my judgment on our solv- ing the tonnage difficulties.” This problem had to be dealt with ruthless- ly and promptly. The measures sub- mitted fell under three heads: First-â€" Drastic new restrictions on imports which were not essential for the prose- cution of the war. Secondlyâ€"Pro- duction at home to be stimulated to its utmost capacity by abold and com- prehensive programme of State assist- ance. Thirdlyâ€"There were to be re- strictiins at home, including the fur- ther cutting down of the manufacture of alcoholic drinks. The ’rime Minister was fully justi- fied in claiming that the measures the Government was proposing would mean enormous sacrifices on the part of every class of the community. He wanted the country to know that their food stocks were alarmingly lowâ€"low- er than within recollection. It was imperative that more food should be grown at home. The greatest obstacle {tiâ€"immediate action nvas the timidity of the farmer in cutting his pasture. State Aid to Agriculture The Prime Minister announced a tar-reaching scheme of State assistant. The Government would guarantee a price of 388 (id for oats this year, 323 for the next two years. and 24s for the three following years. For wheat the Government will guarantee the far- mer the following minimum prices per quarter: For the present year, 603; for 1918 and 1919, 55s; for 1920, 1921 and 1922, 45s. Potatoes would be guaranteed a minimum price for the coming season. Prohibited and Restricted Lists Brewing will be cut down to 10,000,- 000 barrels annually. A similar reduc- tion will be made in the output of spirits, effecting a saving of 600,000 tons of foodstuffs. The importation of apples, tomatoes and fruits will be ohibited. The only exceptions will in the cases of oranges and bananas in which the amount brought in will be restricted 25 per cent. Canned sal- mon importations will be reduced fifty per cent. The importation of foreign tea, coffee and cocoa is prohibited, and even the amount of India tea which may be brought in is reduced. The importation of aerated, mineral and table waters will be prohibited. The Premier said it was expected to save 900,000 tons of shipping yearly on foodstuffs. The importation of pa- per, the Premier announced, must be curtailed by a further 640,000 tons an« nually, or halved. A11 essential ar- ticles of food, he continued, would be on the free list, but certain articles would be reduced or prohibited. These restrictions would be imposed imme‘ diately, said the Premier. Steps would be taken to prevent speculative buying and if necessary, the food controller would take control of the commodity. Dealing with shipbuilding, Mr. Lloyd- George said that he made a special ap- peal to labor, and that he was con- Vinced the output could be very con- siderably increased by an alteration in methods. He wanted more piece work. For the shortage of tonnage he blamed the loaning of ships to the allies much more than the German submarining. The measures were anticipated to save several million tons of ocean freight. Gown Neutral Vessels Attacked by U-Boat Despite Promises The fleet of. seven Dutch vessels which were attacked by German sub- marines last week, and of which three were sunk, left Falmouth on Thurs- day, three being outward bound from Holland and four homeward bound with full cargoes. The steamers had arrived at Falmouth on various dates, and had been released at the special request of the Dutch Government. From Dutch sources the Renter Tele- gram Co. learns that it was the sub- marine U-3 which attacked all seven Dutch steamers. Three were tore pedoed outright. while German sailors boarded the other four and placed bombs which were exploded.

Austrian Ruler’s Escape BRITISH FORCE BIG RETREAT 0N ANCRE Germans Abandon Wide and Doc Front During Poaélmportant VH- lage Posluons Seized The British advance along the An- } 670 River has attained a depth of two ‘ mile; and extends along a front of about eleven miles, according to the «new report from British headquar- We in France Monday. The text reads in part as follows: “The move- ments referred to in the communi- cations Saturday and Sunday were maintained during the day on both banks of the Ancre. Our advance ex- tends over a front 0: about eleven miles, from east. of Gueudecourt to south of Gommecourt, and has attain- ed a depth of two miles. We have reached the outskirts of Le Barque. Irles and Puisieux-au-Mont. A hostile attack made early this morning on one of our posts south of the Somme was driven off with loss.” “-â€"v v A despatch from London on Sunday said: The British now, or soon, will, be in a position to force the evacuation l of Bapaume, which has been the key to the German position since the be- ginning of the battle of the Somme. Under cover of fog and mist, which have been particularly heavy in the past 48 hours, the Germans carried out the greatest retirement they have made on the Western front in the last two years, and the British have swept into possession of Pys, Serre. Mirau- mont and Petit Miraumont, including the famous Butte de Wariencourt, which has been the scene of some of the fiercest fighting of the war, and in places is deep with the bones of dead men. The German retirement approaches a depth of three miles at some points. The British had been waiting for a clearing of the foggy weather before pressing the advance, but meantime it is apparent that the German high command decided to retire Without any further fighting. Friday night fires were observed in the German front line trenches. Points on a wide front have fallen into British hands as a result of the strong pressure exercised in the past few days. The strong pressure ex. erted on the banks of the Ancre began to give results on Saturday, when the Germans vacated important positions on both sides of the stream. The British advanced on a front of a mile and making considerable pro- gress, entered the Village of Petit Miraumont. South and southwest 01 Sere the British began to advance on Saturday, and by nightfall had made considerable progress. They con. tinued their pressure and the Germans continued to yield ground. They made little opposition to the British and small bodies of Haig’s troops pushed forward on a wide front, oc- cupying Serre Village and several other important points further east. Ably Conducted Operations Crowned With Successâ€"Turks Pursued Kilt-el-Ainara has been captured from the Turks by the British forces. according to a statement made in the Home (11‘ Commons Monday by An- drew lionar Law. Mr. Bonar Law an. noum-ed that as a result of the opera- tions on the Tigris ltiver front all of the Turkish positions from Sannayiat to liu't-el-Anlara have been secured, and that the town of Kut-el-Amara automatically passed into the hands «1' the British. The Turks are in full retreat toward Baghailah, 24 miles to the west of Kut-el-Amara, says an of. tisial statement issued Monday by the British War Department. The fleeing Turks are being engaged by pursuing British cavalry. In two days’ fighting 1,730 prisoners were captured, including at least one Turkish regi- rmntal commander and four Ger- mans; four field guns, ten machine guns, three mine throwers and a large quantity 0f rifles and ammunition. Acting Premier Urges Canadians to Cut Luxuries Sir George E. Foster, Acting Prime Minister, in. a statement relating to Premier Lloyd-George’s speech of Fri- day, says, in part: “As to the results of the new restrictions placed upon imports, the people of the British Isles will be most affected, but the restriction of imports will also affect the overseas Dominions, and Canada more, perhaps, than any. In many re- spects we shall be unable to get sup- plies of raw or partly manufactured material which we have been in the habit of getting from Great Britain for our industries. What can be given will no doubt come through, but many of our occupations and industries will be more or less seriously aflected, but there will be nothing which can- not be borne. In many lines our ex- ports will be cut down. In the matter of timber and fruits and .flsh and as- ricultural implements we shall be most largely affected, but on the other hand all our staple food supplies will be required to the maximum of our production, and we shall cheerfully make the best of the situation, eliminating many luxuries. If we do do not do that voluntarily now. we may be compelled later, and not very much later.” Clear Lead of Five Seats In Legis- latureâ€"Minus Speaker Liberals Carry New Brunswick BRETISH RETAKE KUT Canada Must Aid Empire Forclng Them Out Without Fighting 9 *9‘006 99990000909000§09090 §¢§+§§§Q§§§§§§OO¢>+¢§¢¢ 4- Q 6 c a; r... b. 9.. #9.:0..0.z§§§::§¢.6§§¢¢§999499A. ...
