PRISON POPULATION SMALLEST I Prohibition, Opportunity for Employ-' ment, Enlistment Have De. creased Crime. A despatch from Ottawa says: The penitentiary and prison population of the Dominion is now smaller than it has been for years. Prohibition, em- ;ployment conditions. and the enlist-, ment of the “adventurous spirits" in ‘the war have combined to decrease ‘crime and empty the jails. Practical- ly all penitentiaries report to the De- "sartment of Justice that the “slack (season" for compulsory boarders has (been on for months. At Stony Moun- tain Penitentiary in Manitoba, for [ instance, there are not enough prison- 'ers at present to keep the prison its dustries running. CAN tit1ANS 'roof, " A despatch from London says:I Wounded officers in the hospitals here I say that the Canadian attack on De-l sire trench, near Grandcourt on No-) vember 18, was a big surprise to the Germans, the weather being so bad that they never suspected any move-E ment. The Canadian artillery gave the infantry effective support and' forced the Germans to remain in the‘ deep dugouts until the advance was on top of them. The advance was made in a thick snow storm. The Canadians took seven hundred and fifty prisoners when the trench was captured. Majors John Lewis and F. E. Hall, of Montreal, were killed during this advance.
