This result has been brought about by hard fighting on the part of the splendid young fellows of the aerial service. One of the most successful aviators in this area is an Ontario man who has a record of thirty-six German machines brought down, most of them from such a height as to insure their destruction. He has already won the Military Cross and the BSD. â€" .‘ AL.‘ bub U.Uov During the past two days the artil- lery actkni on the front has increas- ed in volume, until at times it has reached the dimensions of drumfire. The enemy’s retaliation to our bom- bardment has on several occasions been extremely prompt and heavy. The object of his artillery has been to divert the attention of our guns. Efforts of enemy working parties to restore their defences have been pre- vented by a steady trench mortar bombardment. In this. as in other branches of theg artillery, there has been a remarkable development. Some of the trench mortar projectiles now in use have almost as much high explosive in them as an ordin- ary fifteen-inch howitzer shell. The destruction wrought by them in the trenches IS very great. _._.-_-A MORE AMERICANS ARRIVE v- v-â€"' There was énother heavy projec- tion of gas into the German trenches west of Lens yesterday, with but lit- tle retaliation. Enthusiastic Soldiers Reach Port Europe, Proceed Inland The following despatch chronicles an interesting event: A European Port, July 29.â€"â€"Another American con- tingent has safely arrived and disem- barked. The American troops arrived by the same steamship whereon Ker- mit Roosevelt, his wife and child travelled. When tenders were along- side the vessel Friday the men were in high spirits, and frequently shout- ed “Are we downhearted?” Which was answered with a roaring “No!” given with great enthusiasm. Representa- tives of the General Stafl watched the disembarkation. There was no civic demonstration. Only a few spectators knew of the landing. These cheered, and the troops cheered back. The men entrained quickly and left for their new quarters. . Hon. The report of Sir Ezekiel McLeod and ex-Justice Tellier, the Royal Com- missioners appointed on June 6 last to review the findings of Mr. Justice Galt of Winnipeg'as to Hon. Robert Rogers’ connections With graft and campaign funds in the letting of con- tracts for the Manitoba Agricultural College. was presented to Parliament last Friday. The learned Judges, after reviewing all the evidence, came to the conclusion that Justice Galt was quite unjustified in reflecting upon the “hon- or or integrity of the Hon. Mr. Rogers or the honesty of his dealings or trans- actions.” The Minister of Public Works accordingly resumed his du- ties and began piloting the depart- mental estimates through the House. CANADEANS SUPR BREE Michaelis Makes Reply Dr. George Michaelis, the German Imperial Chancellor, on Saturday sum- moned a large number of newspaper men, to whom he declared: “The speech of David Lloyd George, the British Premier, at Queen’s Hall, Lon- don, and the recent debate in the Brit- 13h House of Commons, again have proved with indisputable clearness that Great Britain does not desire peace by agreement and understand- ing. but only a continuation of the war which means the enslavement of Ger- many to the arbitrary violence of our enemies." FIND GALT IN ERROR August 2nd, 1917. Robert Rogers Exonerated by Judges and Resumes Office DICTATOR KERENSKY SUMMGNS GENERAL?) Many Drastic Measures to Throttle Anarchyâ€"Search for Lenin:â€" Censorship More Strict A Petrograd despatch on Saturday said: On the heels of his declaration that the “spectre of anarchy needs to be obliterated,” and that “stout hearts and stern hands are needed for the task,” Premier Kerensky to-day sum- moned to Petrograd General Nicholas Ruzsky and General Gurko. The form- er was L‘ommander-in-chiet' ot‘ the Northern armies, and the latter head- ed the forces operating in the South- western front. The greatest signifi- cance is attached to Kerensky’s action in calling the two military leaders. The generally accepted View is that the Premier intends to organize a Su- preme Military Council, which may consist of these personages: Kerenâ€" sky, Ruzslzy, Gurko, Brussiloft‘ and Korniloff. the latter four conceded to comprise the military genius of the Republic. Closing the Frontiers Premier Kerensky is taking still other stern measures to lay the “spectre of anarchy.” One of the lat- est orders is an unusually stringent decree closing the frontiers. Another is an extension of the scope and se- verity of the censorship. Regulations regarding imports have been subjected to radical modification. Secretary of State ltonert LanSIIlg bitterly assailed the military clique at Berlin in an address delivered to the 1,600 candidates for reserve com- missions at Madison Barracks, New York, Sunday evening. Mr. Lansing was loudly cheered when he said: “My friends, I am firmly convinced that the independence of no nation is safe, that the liberty of no individual Lansing DGLC, Llluh I‘LLV Anilv- v.v is sure. until the military despotism which holds the German people in the hollow of its hand has been made impotent and harmless forever. Ap- peals to justice, to moral obligation, to honor, no longer avail with such a power. There is but one way to res- tore peace to the world, and that is by overcoming German Imperialists by force of arms. For its own safety, as well as for the cause of human lib- erty, this great Republic is marshal- ling its armies and preparing with all its vigor to aid in ridding Germany, as well as the world, of the most am- bitious and most unprincipled autoc- racy which has arisen to stay the wheels of progress and imperil Chris- tian civilization.” THREATEN CHRISTIANITY Germans Concentrate Artillery Fire on Belgian Coast Front A despatch from Philip Gibbs on the 3 Flanders front says: The enemy is firing an enormous number of shells at the British trenches, roads and back areas. He seems to have piledg up huge supplies of ammunition fort this artillery offensive, including a' quantity of gas shells. which he puts. over at night in low-lying ground.E His “hate” is specially directed upon? the country along the coast, although! he is active with guns and raiders as far down as the neighborhood of Saint Quentin. I went up to the coast and saw his fierce bombardment of Nieuport, which he is smashing to bits by a great concentration of fire. Here by the lines of the dunes which are piled along the sea front like high waves the scene of war is extraordin- ary to anyone who has been watchâ€" ing the inland war for over two years. Until one gets very close to the zone of fire the ugliness of war is hidden. The official report from British i man diviSIOI headquarters in France on Sundayiing.

Perris, correspondent on the French front, says: Bitter will be the retros- pect of the German people in the days completing the third and opening the fourth year of the war. A conserva- tive estimate shows that the German armies lost 155,000 men and 2,500 offi- cers, with 948 cannon and thousands of lesser pieces, in the last twelve months on the French and British fronts alone. This is but a part, and not the gravest of the account. The number of killed and seriously wound- ed is several times larger than that of the prisoners. Big Rumanian Advances. .

Kolomea. about fifty miles northwest of Czer- nowitz, capital of Bukowina, has been occupied by, Bavarian and Austro- Hungarian troops. The advance of the Roumanians in the Suchitza Valley northwest of Foczani has resulted in the abandonment of that valley as far as the upper course of the Putna by the Austro-Germans. The Roumanians have moved their line forward seven and one-half miles, gaining all their objectives and occupying ten villages. Morethan 400 additional prisoners and guns and war material were cap- tured by the Roumanians. David Lloyd George, the British 1 Premier, last Friday conversed fully with a number of editors of important French newspapers. He covered fully the military situation and replied to questions. Mr. Lloyd George said that Great Britain now had between 5,000,- 000 and 5,500,000 soldiers enrolled, wvithout counting between 400,000 to , 500,000 belonging to the navy, or near- ;ly a million men from the Dominions iand colonies. Great Britain had plac- ged at the disposal of her allies, he }added, from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 tons 'of merchant ships. Next year’s build- ! ing program for merchant ships, which l ,already has begun, amounts to 4,000,- 1000 tons, or twice as much as in a 1 good year during peace time. Alluding fito the campaign against submarines j Mr. Lloyd George said: “The diminu- ‘tion in shipping losses is incontest- , able.” .4 . ‘ Over 5,000,000 Soldiersâ€"As Many War Workersâ€"Subs. and Russia RUSSIAN RETIREMENTS “Viv. Continuing, Mr. Lloyd George said that five million men and women now were engaged in war work in the United Kingdom. More women could be employed if the trades unions did not fear the competition of women after the war. It could be said that at the present time no English indus- try is working for individual interests, except agriculture. Q .1 l 1‘.» 1_L-~‘- BRITAIfi'S VAST EFFORT ‘Avvrv wuâ€"â€"_-_ He said he recognized that the latest news from Russia was not good news, but that Russia already had shown that she possessed infinite resources and was the land of the unexpected. In bidding farewell to the editors who were his guests at breakfast, Mr. Lloyd George said the world’s future depended on Great Britain and France acting together. Five Divisions Sacrificed for Tiny Advantage in Week The correspondent of Reuter‘s with 3 the French army in France, telegraph- ing on Friday night, says: As a re- sult of the Battle of Chemin-des- Dames, which died down for a mo- ment yesterday afternoon in conse- quence of the exhaustion of the enemy, after raging practically without inter- ruption for a week, the Germans ob- tained a precarious footing in a part of the French line below the crest, op- posite the village of Ailles, while the French on the Craonne plateaux re- covered the whole of their original front except a small work in the north-eastern angle of Californie pla- teau, which was utterly wrecked by bombardment, and is now untenable by either side. Against these trivial advantages the enemy must set many thousands of casualties. Five Ger- man divisions participated in the fight- mg.“ flThree of these need reorganiz- ing before they can again be employed. Church Wrecked at Londonâ€"Angry Crowds vs. Pacifists An attempt by the “Workers’ and Soldiers’ Council,” an organization re- cently formedon the lines of the SOI- diers’ and Workmen’s Council in Rus- sia, to hold a peace meeting at the Brotherhood Church in Kingsland on Sunday resulted in riotous scenes, dur- ing which the interior of the church was virtually wrecked and a number of persons seriously injured. After the church had been cleared of the wounded, Corp. J. B. McCreery, UL uuv '1 “”â€"'v‘ a youthful Canadian soldier, mounted the organ gallery and delivered a pat- riotic speech. At Newcastle-on-the- Tyne on Sunday, a conference of the “Workers’ and Soldiers” of the North- east Coast ended in a free fight. Citi- zens prevented a peace meeting at Swansea Sunday afternoon. German Morale Slipsâ€"Geddes “The destruction of the German mili- tary power is progressing more since last spring than the people imagine, and the morale of the German army assuredly is going fast,” said Sir Eric Geddes in his first public speech as First Lord of the Admiralty in the Guildhall at Cambridge Saturday night. As to his own attitude, he said he would not interfere with the needs of the fleet.

They want to knoxx the 33 h3' ancl wherefore of things the3 bu3. Especially is this true of prices. Sugar is dearer than before the war. Fortunatelyâ€"pure sugar is a very stimulating foodâ€"it has not increased in price so much as have the greater number of our foods or as at one time we feared it might. Perhaps the fact that sugar does not. require the services of cold storage at any time may have some- thing to do with this. However, we may he almost certain that sugar will not be cheaper until the war is ovenâ€"“"hy '? tip to August, 1914, one-third of‘ the.nxn1ds sugar was produced hi Austria and Germany. This supply is of course now discontinued. Eng- land. France {uni oflnn? European cournries obtained the greater part of then? sugar froni that source.

United States is 'Concerned. Just now our United States neigh- bors are very much concerned with the problem of “how to keep sweet” in war times. Over one-half | of the raxv material for their refiirl eries came from Cuba. The Allies have taken away considerable of this. Also since 1913 the quantity of sugar exrmrted from their refin- eries has increased from 29.000 tens to 703,885 tons. But the government over there \verks quickly, and doubtless it will only be a matter of a few weeks before a regulation goes into effect limiting the expert of sugar, and if the same is not done in rigard to individual conâ€" sumption a vigorous campaign to regulate this will be undertaken at once. Already in New York City they refuse to sell more than ten pounds to a customer. I" . 11-- J1“..â€" But noxv that the time for the preserving and canning of fruit is almost here, and Canadian house- keepers realize that they should use every available hit of available fruit on account of the world’s scarcity of. other foods, the matter of the quantity of sugar required for this, even at ten cents a pound, is quite a considerationâ€"â€"â€"to say nothing of the question of conscrv» ing the supply of sugar. How shall we meet this problem? .Perhaps 'this is. the only way: - ‘ _ ---- ULLAU -5. This year every housekeeper should learn, if she has not already done so, how to do up fruit so it will keep, without sugar. When the time comes to use it, sweeten it. It takes much less sugar then. The United States is urging the im- portance of this. Specialists claim that sugar is not necessary to inâ€" crease the keeping powers of fruit and also that it is healthier done up without sugar, or with. very little. In doing up acid fruits, such as gooseherries, plums and rhubarb, if oneâ€"quarter of a teaspoon of soda is added to a quart of fruit, one- quarter ‘less the quantity of sugar will be needed. An incident in'bird life, both in- teresting and unusual, occurred several days ago at a family home! on Second street. in North Balti- ITlHI‘Q. 011i”, says Marcus A. Wil- kinsmi in Our Dumb Animals, when several boys found a youi g pigeon, which had fallen out of a nest un- der some caves of a church. The Pigeon was taken home and placed in a. small coop with an old mother hen and a brood of Rhode Island Red chickens. The mother readily accepted the new baby and from. then on took care of it as if it had been one of her own. The next day after the pigeon had been found, an old one was seen near the coop, and after further investigation it D Whenever the mother pigeon would approach the coop, the little one would run out from under' the hen’s feathers and receive the food from its real mother. These pro- ceedings took place every day, until the new baby was able to care for himself. . . MUCH-MOTHERED PIGEON “Rev.
