» London despatches late in March reâ€" ported the death of Prince Friedrich Karl from the wounds he received when shot down by artillery while he was flying in an airplane over the British lines near Peronne. The Prince, who was a cousin of Emperor William, had previously been reported by Berlin as missing after an air raid by the Germans in this vicinity . Britain May Demand in Return Bodies of Nurse Cavell and Capt. Fryatt. A despatch from London, says:â€" Lord Robert Cecil, Minister of Blockâ€" ade, said in reply to a question in the House of Commons on Thursday that a private inquiry had been received through the Sovereign of a neutral power as to whether the body of Prince Friedrich Karl of Prussia, who Hed . of wounds while a nrisoner, could be sent to Germany. The Govâ€" ernment, he said, had responded that this was impossible at the present time, _ It has been suggested by wembers that the British Government, Lord Robert stated, insist as a conâ€" dition for granting the request that the bodies of Miss Edith Cavell and Captain Fryatt be returned to Enz land . divisions.

On the front of Prince Leoâ€" pold of Bavaria, who _ commands eleven armies, there are three grouped under Generals Eicchorn, Lisinger and the Austrian General, Boehm Ermolli.

A despatch from Guelph says: Meatâ€" less days are staring Ontario in the face, and not,only in this Province but all over the world there is a serious shortage of food. Reserve supplies are lower perhaps than they have ever been. Starvation threatens the poorer people in the war zone, where the number of nonâ€"producing consumers has been increased by millions. Production of food is not keeping pace with consumption. The number of producers of agricultural food maâ€" terials, in comparison with the nonâ€" producing consumers, is rapidly deâ€" creasing, and a serious situation has been brought about by the war. Although seriously handicapped by the great shortage of labor, Ontario‘s patriotic and progressive farmers are doing their best to "save the situaâ€" tion." Day after day Professor C. A. Zavitz of the Ontario Agricultural College is besieged by mail and teleâ€" phone with inquiries as to how best the problem can be met. What are the best varieties of seed for Ontario? What should the farmers of Ontario do? When is the best time to do it, and what is the best method? These are samples of the questions fired at the professor of field husbandry and director of field experiments. JOIN IN BUILDING Munitions Board and United St: Shipping Board to Coâ€"operate.

Toâ€"day there were \no attacks whatever and the Britâ€" ‘ish sappers were able to work undisâ€" ‘turbed, save for bursting German |shells.

Of Total Number Over 60,000 Came From U.S. and 8,000 from Britain. A dcspatch from Ottawa says:â€"A total of 75,395 immigrants were adâ€" mitted to Canada during the fiscal year 1916â€"17, Hon, Dr. Roche told Dr. Paquet, of L‘Islet, during the question hour in the Commons on Thursday. Of the number 61,389 came from the United States, 8,282 from Great Britâ€" ain, and 2,0935 from Continental Eurâ€" ope. _ During the same period 17,988 persons proposing to settle in the Dominion were denied admission at the International boundary line beâ€" tween this country and the United States, 172 were rejected at seaports.} and 605 immigrants were deported. In the fiscal year 10,246 Canadians were‘ repatriated from the United States, as compared with 11,084 in 1915â€"16; 13.-‘ 011 in 1914â€"15, and 17,638 in 19183â€"14. Farther along towards Craonne, which sits on the road, and comâ€" mands the main road from Rheims to Laon, on the plain spreading eastâ€" ward, lies Hurtebise Farm, which shares with Cerny constant German attention, in consequence of its situaâ€" tion near Craonne, the continued posâ€" session of which is of great importâ€" ance to the Germans. The opposing artilleries fight an incessant duel in this sector, and the Germans are doâ€" ing their utmost by holding Craonne to threaten the French advance across the flat lands towards Laon. 75,000 IMMIGRANTS FOE EXHAUSTED FRENCH MASTERS A despatch from London says: A pause has settled upon the great batâ€" tlefield east of Arrasâ€"apparently a pause of utter exhaustion on the part of the Germans, who are obliged to rest without recompense to show for their appalling sacrifices of the last five days, while the British methodicâ€" ally refortify the objectives won in the thrust begun on Monday. Germans, Failing in Counter attacks, Leave Allied Troops Alone. The renewed German efforts twice Thursday night to loosen the French grip on the Cheminâ€"desâ€"Dames around Cerny, westward of Craonne, wilted, then died away, under the stubborn resistance of the French. Strong Gerâ€" man forces were thrown toward the French positions _ about nightfall along a 2,000â€"yard front, where the French, as a result of their forward push last week, virtually dominate the valley through which the Ailette stream runs. °® JOFFRE ASKS UNITED STATES (â€"â€" _ TO SEND ARMY TO BATTLEFIELD A despatch from Washington says* â€"Conferences between members of the French war mission and American Government officials for exchanges of views regarding the conduct of the war against Germany began here on Thursday after the leading commisâ€" sioners ha@ paid official calls upon President _ Wilson, _ Viceâ€"President Marshall and Secretaries Lansing, Baker and Daniels.

The grass was no onger| (found in patches, but stretching ‘away in undulating plains, like the ‘downs of Sussex and Hampshire in | England. | A despatch from Ottawa says: The annual reports of the Railway Departâ€" ment on telegraph and express statisâ€" tics were tabled in the House on Wedâ€" nesday by Hon. Frank Cochrane. Both telegraph and express companies have evidently profited by the war. The earnings of the telegraph companies were the highest of any year since telegraph statistics in Canada were tabulated. Gross receipts from operâ€" ation of the various companies operatâ€" ing in Canada amount~d in 1916 to $6,255,740, as compared with $5,536,â€" 377 in 1915. There was a large inâ€" crease in receipts from cablegrams, and the report points out that there has been a substantial increase in reâ€" ceipts from this source since 1912, and particularly since the outbreak of the European war. Operating expenses are placed at $4,204,515 for 1916, as against $4,129,165 in 1915. ‘ TELESRAPH C0.S PROFITED BY WAR Great Increase in Cable Messâ€" agesâ€"Express Companies Also Gained. ** With the passing of Rafa the Britâ€" ish army began the British occupaâ€" tion of Palestine, and opened a new era in the history of the East. BRITISH ARMY IN ERUITFUL LAND Army in Palestine Advances Through Grain and Fruits. A despatch from British Forces in Palestine says: It is over two months since the British troops entered Elâ€" Arish, which geographically and hisâ€" torically is the gate of Palestine, and the continuation of the advance has now put them firmly on the soil of the Holy Land. Progress from the sands of the desert to the sown land was gradual and was markedâ€"by three separate stages. The first ended at Elâ€"Burg, bringing the troops to the region of Grass. After a year of yellow sand the green vistas were soothing and refreshing to the eye, especially with the relief afforded by the tamarisk trees rising between the sand dunes. The second stage was from Elâ€"Burg to Sheikâ€"Zoweid, marking the transiâ€" tion from the green meadows to a land of barley fields. Sheikâ€"Zoweid is a mud village, but boasts a fruitful orchard with a cacâ€" tus hedge, such as surrounds every place of fruitfulness in Palestine. The orchard blossoms were a joy to the eyes of thousands of men who had seen no signs of spring for two years past. Soon after the conclusion of the conâ€" ference Rene Viviani, viceâ€"Premier of France, head of the mission, made a statement, in which he declared that the coâ€"operation of the United States in the war would mean not only a victory for France, which already was assured, but a victory of morality and right, which will "forever secure the existence of a world in which all our children shall draw free breath in full peace and undisturbed pursuit of their labors." and Marshal Joffre came to the United States prepared to give reasons for the opinion of French military exâ€" perts that the sending of such a force is advisable. _ Information regarding the meeting between the military leaders was withheld.

As ‘a result of the care exercised in this | direction, not a single fire was reportâ€" | ed during 1916 as being due to settlers | clearing land, within St. Maurice Asâ€" sociation territory. In 1916, there were 41 such fires; in 1914, there were 80; and in 19183, the number so reportâ€" ed was 151. . This indicates clearly |\ how practicable it is to control the menace due to settlers‘ clearing operaâ€" |tions, with the right kind of law and an efficient organization to administer it. In a little while the deer turned, and they could tell by the dog‘s voice that it was heading straight for where they stood. They had very little time to wait before the deer, a large buck, burst from the brush and dashed across the little space where they had fcolled several trees, putting his whole soul into speed. When he had nearly reached the sholter of the trees once more, he encountered a tree that had fallen across another in such a way that its trunk at that point was about cight feet from the ground. The dog was too close to allow a turn, and the buck leaped to clear the obâ€" struction; but he "took of" too fat back, and landed on his stomach fair« ly across the top log. With a leap nearly as long as that of the buck, Cap§% Kimball seized both of the animal‘s hind legs as they were kicking vigorously and swung his weight on them, so that the buck could not get across the log.

The captain had a dog named Watch, known far and wide as "Kimâ€" ball‘s bear dog." Watch followed his master and began scouring the woods for game. He soon started a deer, and his excited yelping made the woods ring. The deer seemed to be running in a circle, and the two men stood, axe in hand, listening. A Strange Trap for Deer. When Capt. Kimbail, my mother‘s grandfather, settled on the Connectiâ€" cut in New Hampshire, says a U. 8. writer, the country was swarming with wild game, and he often killed deer and bears on his own place. The report shows that in the past one of the most frequent causes of fires was the carelessness of river driving crews. _ However, since the coâ€"operation of the logging departâ€" ments of the constituent companies of the Association was secured, this source of danger has been entirely eliminated .
