Records Ofice: A successful daylight raid was carried out by a Montreal battalion under cover of an artillery and smoke barrage. The whole party was able to enter and leave the Ger- an line without a single casualty, ut the resistance actually in the enches was considerable and neces- s tated several bombing encounters. As a result only two prisoners were taken, while about 50 Germans are calculated to have been killed, either the dugouts from which they re- ed to emerge, or in the trenches. In the early evening of one day a small raid was made by an Ontario battalion for the purpose of destroy- ing a German fortified post or steel emplacement. This was effectively done by means of a mobile charge of guncotton, and the party then with- drew ‘to their own trenches. Llnes Explored by Montreal, Ontario and Western Units Parties from battalions of a West- ern brigade. raided a strongly forti- fied position, known as the “pimple,” east of Souchez, and successfully cap- tured all their objectives. At least one officer and forty men of the enemy were made prisoners and a number of dug-outs, from which the Germans refused to emerge, were bombed and then set on fire and de- stroyed with portable explosives. Our men penetrated the German lines to a considerable depth and completely wrecked all enemy mine shafts, ma- chine gun emplacements, and even his trench railhead. Despite the num- bers engaged and the particularly dif- ficult nature of the enterprise, our own casualties were slight.

The King and Queen entertained a number of over- seas officers, mostly wounded, but some on leave, at Buckingham Palace Saturday afternoon. His Majesty and the Duke of Connaught appeared in uniform, and chatted freely with every guest A Paris correspondent cabled on Sunday: I hear from a very good source that the news of the diplo- matic rupture with the United States arrived like a bombshell in the 1m- perial circles at Potsdam. On the same morning (Feb. :5) a cable ram from Count von Bernstorl‘t‘ announced that a new note from President WilJ son might be expected, but nothing else. The Emperor received news of the rupture as he was sitting down to the table and flew into a violent rage. Remarks made by the Empress to her intimates gave the latter to understand that the imperial wrath was directed pzincipally agai:.st \‘Cil Bernstorff. King and Duke of Connaught Chat With Wounded Officers Official word was received at 0t- tawa on Thursday last that Halifax is to be an examining port for neutral ships crossing the Atlantic, east- bound. This news caused pleasure in New York - shipping circles. With (‘ount von Bernstorff, the .former Ger- man Ambassador to the United States, and his party on board, the steamship Frederik VIII. entered Halifax harbor last Friday night for careful examin- ation. Gen. Funston Died Suddenly Mai-Gen. Frederick Funston, com- mander of the American forces on the Mexican border, collapsed in an hotel at San Antonio, Texas, on Mon- day night and expired in a short time. Physicians gave the cause as acute indigestion. Gen. Funston was laying with a little chfld when en. He was 51 years of age Claim Gains in Champagne Striking at the French line in Cham- pagne. midway between Verdun and Rheims, troops of the German Crown Prince havex according to the German claims, taken ground to a depth of half a mile on a front of a. mile and a half. The attackers captured 858 prisoners, including 21 officers and 20 machine guns on Friday last, said Berlin. ' The following communique was is- }ued last Friday by the Canadian.

Subscriptions totallin $176,000 were announced Friday 11 t in Lon- don, Ontario, to fire the first guns in the campaign for $800,000 for the Red Cross and Patriotic Funds. A despatch from Berlin last Frid y said: “The American seamen w 0 were brought prisoners to Germany on board the British steamer Yarrow- dale have been liberated.” Montreal'set'out to raise $2,500,000 for the Patriotic and Red Cross Funds, and last Friday $4,316,663 had been secured, including $1,000,000 recom- mended by the Board of Control. Development of operations on the Western front each day on a 19,133:- scale leads to the belief in London week that the long expected bit operations there are at hand. French troops baturday night Li:- vadod a German trench in the B0 10 Pretre, on the left bank of the River Moselle near Pont-a-Mousson and destroyed the Teuton works annci sheds. By a series of attacks uniformly successful the British in Mesopotamia have tightened their hold upon the defences of. Kut-el-Amara. Turkish resistance was almost paralyzed last Thursday and Friday, and the cap- ture of almost 2,000 prisoners, in- cluding high officers, and much war material, was reported by the War Office on Sunday. This spoil, un- usually large for the Mesopotamian flghtinf, fell into British hands as a result of assaults upon the strong Turkish fortifications on both banks of the Tigris where it winds about Kut. \A considerable sector on the right bank was completely cleared of Turks, and advanced troops now hold the southwest corner of the strong Shumran loop positions five miles from Kut. An unusual feature is that the Turkish statements admit the British success, which usually they totally ignore. British Also Tighten Hold Upon Do- fcnces in Successful Attacks British troops on the left bank of the Tigris River, in Irak, took the offensive on Saturday afternoon against the Turkish positions at San- naiyat, says a British official state- ment, issued Monday, and occupied two Turkish front lines on a frontage of 350 and 540 yards respectively. The Turks launched two heavy coun- tor-attacks and forced back the Brit- ish right wing to its original line. The British front line repulsed a Turkish counter-attack, but when night came the troops were withdrawn from their newly-won positions. Agents of the United States Depart- ment of Justice arrested in New York on Monday night two men charged with violating the Federal law by car- rying on a military enterprise against a foreign country. The men gave their names as Albert A. Sander and Charles W. Wunnenberg. The com- plaint charged them with conspiring to employ agents to obtain maps, photographs and other military in- formation in England and Ireland for the benefit of Germany. M. Protopopoff, Minister of the In- terior, proposes to pass a measure for the partial relief of. Jewish disabilities. It is intended to remove all restric- tions preventing Jews from entering freely into trade and commerce, con- tracting for building of railways and founding new limited companies. Jews wounded and crippled in this and the Russo-Japanese war are to receive the same privileges as are accorded to other Russians. Germans dressed in white Satur- day took the offensive against the Rus- sians near Kochcava, southwest of Dvinsk, and broke into a front-line Russian trench. Russian reserves im- mediately drove out the Teutons. In the Carpathians, Russian detachments sur rised and captured, without firing a. 3 ot, a strongly fortified Austro- German position southwest of Okna. Teuton counter-attacks were repulsed. Sir Arthur Lee, member of Parlia- ment for the Fareham Division of Hampshire, has been appointed Direc- tor of General Food Production. Sir Arthur will be responsible for the co- ordination and executive control of those sections of the board which deal with the supply and distribution of seed. fertilizers, foodstuffs, labor and work and the war and agriculture committees in England and Wales. Minismr of Finance Ribot last week “ted the French Chamber of Depu- ties to appropriate 9,574,000,000 francs to cover the Government expenditure for the second quarter of the present . This was an average of 900,- 0,000 francs over the amount of the lppmpriation for the first quarter.

A successful at- tack Saturday captured trenches on a front totalling more than two miles to an almost uniform depth of a half mile. It was another of the thorough- ly planned attacks the British have delivered recently on the Somme- Ancre front, far different from tron raids. Its main object was to p closer to the immediate objectives of Miraumont and Petit Miraumont, north and south respectively of the Ancre and on the road to Bapaume. On Sunday the Germans tried to re- gain the positions taken from them by the British, but their attempts were fruitless. Irltlch on Ancn Gain and Hold Portant PocItlons British troops Saturday. in captur- ing German positions on a front ot about a mile and a halt, penetrated the German defenses to a distance of about 1,000 yards and came within close range of Petit Miraumont. which lies to the northeast of Grandcourt on the Ancre front. Another import/- ant German position was also carried along a front of about 1,000 yards, according to the official report from headquarters Sunday night. In all, the British took 773 prisoners in their successful advances, as well as ma- chine guns and trench mortars. Strong forces of Germans attacked the new British positions on the spur above Baillescourt farm Sunday morn- ing, but as they were advancing in three waves with bodies of support- ing tr00ps in their rear, they came under the concentrated fire of the British artillery, and this drove them back with heavy losses. In this ac- tion the British suffered no casualties. “We carried out a successful raid this morning east of Souchez,” says the oiiicial report from British head- quarte s in France Monday night. ‘iA hostile mine shaft was blown up and several occupied dug-outs were destroyed. We took a few prisoners." Government Encourages Refusal to Give Sarrail’s Army Security A London Times despatch said on Sunday: The position of Greece is dis- quieting. The main reason is the dif- ncult question of rifles in the popula- tion’s possession at present. In round figures 80,000 rifles entered the Pelo- ponnesus. The sum of 80,000 is thought satisfactory enough. It is. another story when one turns to hid- den rifles. None of these have been produced, but must be producd. The Government, while maintaining that there are no hidden rifles, issued a decree imposing penalties on any who do not deliver their arms.~ The de- cree does not seem to have had any effect. The main danger lies in the resent temperament of the people, "or which the Lambros Government and the Athens press unfortunately are responsible. Athens is full of dangerous talk, and the people are becoming more unwilling to hand over their arms, more especially those who are reserviSts and think it is now necessary to retain them for selfi- detence. Arthur Henderson, member of the war council, speaking at Manchester Saturday. said: “In Government cir- cles confidence regarding the final close of the war was never so high as niw. I believe that our comman- deroin-chief and all the leaders of the allied nations will be surprised it during the coming summer they do not strike such a blow asâ€"with other conditions which prevailâ€"will lead the war to a close on lines entirely satisfactory for us and our allies.” The Earl of Derby, secretary.“ State for War, sneaking at Bolton, expres- sed the Otinion that the critical per- iod of the war would occur in the next few months. “But men we want and must have,” he added. Milner Emphasized Harmony Viscount Mflner, member of the British War Council, at a reception Sunday in honor of the Entente Aliled Conference, denied allegations printed in Austro-German newspapers that the prolonged sojourn of the delegates in Russia was due to a divergence of views. Lord Milner averred that com- lete harmony prevailed at the con- erence from the beginning, and that the protraction was due entirely to the multiplicity of matters needing discussion. British War Loan’s Marvels The new money subscribed to the new British war loan is at least £700,000,000 ($3,500,000.000), exclus- ive of contributions from the banks. Andrew Bonar Law, Chancellor of the Exchequer, stated in the House of Commons on Monday. Mr. Law said the number of applications for the war loan on the last day was so large that 200,000 or 300,000 were not dealt with, and the result would not be known until next week. Germany Must Change Rulers Addressing a meeting in London Sunday night, the Speaker at the House of Commons, the Right Hon. ames William Lowther, declared that t was impossible for British states- men to make any agreement with the German Government as now consti- tuted. It would be necessary, hetero signing any peace or any agreement, he said, to insist that it must be with a Government Meant in essence and constitution from the present one.
