CURRIE’S MEN SCORE AGAINST LENS PORTS Thousands of Houses Around Coai Centre are Tremendously Fortified â€"Enemy Casualties Heavy A special cable from Canadian Headquarters in France on Friday said: Early this morning Canadian troops holding the front between Avion and Lens, in the flooded area. established a post well to the north of any hitherto occupied. There was little retaliation from the Germans. The new post is only 1,500 yards from the heart of Lens. The German de- fence of Lens is worthy of a better cause. As our patrols push forward through the mass of crumbling rub- bish which now marks the site of one of France’s greatest pre-war indus- trial communities, evidence is lound everywhere that the enemy intends to hold the centre of the city until his losses become unendurable. How Enemy is Fortified , The front line is marked by rows of houses that have been pulled down to add by their debris to the strength of the cellars wherein the Germans shelter from the incessant artillery { fire directed against them. Wire en- tanglements have been constructed I around these houses so that each is a I self-contained strong point, with a subterranean exit in the rear for its garrison. Provided with good ma- chine-gun emplacements, houses so fortified prove a hard nut to crack, and there are now thousands of such houses in the Lens salient. To the Canadians who are con- fronting this mighty defensive posi- tion the most comforting thought is 1 that it is a salient, and that from the 1 north and south, as well as the west, 1 x north and south, as well as the west, its defenders are under fire. Their losses are very great. Evidence re- cently to hand shows that one division opposing us has been burying from seventy to eighty men daily. shell-fire being the chief cause of death. Foe Fears Gas Our artillery attacks are reinforced by the frequent use of gas projectedl into the enemy lines when the wind is ! favorable. and discharged in the form g of gas shells at all hours of the day; or night. Nothing else causes suchi terror among the Germans as these‘ gas bombardments. Captured docu- I ments prove that the proposal to less- ;_ en the number of dug-outs, in the hope i of preventing the men in the trenches from being caught in them and forced a to surrender when attacked, has been : adopted by the leaders of one of the ' enemy divisions opposite to us. Eleven KiHed at Horwich and Felix- stoweâ€"One Enemy Winged Despat< hes from London on Sunday said. The total casualties in the air raid. according to an official state- ment issued this evening. number eleven killed and twenty- -six injured. The damage to property is 'insignifi- cant. “A patrol of the Royal Flying Corps ” says the statement, “encount- ered some hostile machines returning to Belgium and brought down one at sea near the coast." Another raid on the east coast was made Sunday morning. The announcement follows: “A squadron of enemy aeroplanes, from fifteen to twenty-one, approach- ed Felixstowe and Harwich at 8 o’clock this morning. Some bombs were dropped, but the heavy fire from the anti-aircraft defence caused the enemy’s formation to split up, part re- turning overseas and part proceeding south, down the Essex coast. The lat- ter party was heavily engaged by gun- fire all down the Essex coast and fin- ally proceeded homeward Without dropping more bombs. The raiders were pursued out to sea and heavily engaged by our aeroplanes, but the visability was low and the difficulties of observation were very great.” Praises Work Under Hannaâ€" Message to Canadian People An Ottawa despatch on Sunday said: King George has sent the fol- lowing message through the Canadian Government to the people of Canada: V V V-..â€"-â€"-'_â€"- “I learn with deep gratification of the effective steps being taken in the Do- minion of Canada towards providing those increased supplies of food which are absolutely essential to the defeat of the enemy's devices and to a speedy and successful termination of the war. I have no doubt that the self-sacrifice displayed on the battle-fields of France by my. heroic Canadian troops will find its counterpart in the eiforts of those who, at home in the Dominion, are devoting themselves to this work. All those thus loyally engaged con- tribute in important measure towards assuring victory. (Signed) George KING ON FOOD CONTROL Declaration Followed by Seizure of Nine Steamers Ubuw A.--” __ war exists with Germany and Austria, according to a Renter despatch from Bangkok on Saturday. Nine steamers, aggregating 19,000 tons, have been seized. The object of Siam’s declara- tion is to “uphold the sanctity of in- ternational rights against nations showing contempt for the principles of humanity and respect for small states." All Germans and Austrians, the despatch adds, have been placed under arrest and their businesses closed. Siam, “the land of the, free,” a kingdom of southeastern Asia, has a population estimated at over 6,000,- 000. Forty German airplanes brought down in five days ending Sunday is one indication of the frenzy of ner- vousness with which the Prussians are trying to find out what Field Mar- shal Haig is preparing for them. Revolutionary elements have been engaged in propaganda in France to discourage soldiers, and develop a de- mand for premature peace, according to Senator Clemenceau in the Paris Upper House on Sunday. An increase of letter carriers‘ wages cities and towns to meet the high- in cost of living was announced. in go Canadian Parliament. last Friday. RAID ON ENGLAND \VARS ON HUNS BRITISH WINS IN AIR BLOODY AISNE FIGHTS French Repel Many Attacksâ€"Six Planes Destroyed and Ten Downed A British advance near Monchy-leâ€" Preux is announced by the war office. “Patrol encounters resulted in our favor last night northwest of St. Quen- tin and south of Lens,” the Sunday statement says. “We advanced our line slightly southeast of Monchy-le- Preux. The hostile artillery was ac- tive during the night in the neighbor- hood of Lens and Armentieres and near the coast.” “W. vuv vvwâ€"v- The official report from British headquarters in France Saturday night reads: “The enemy's artillery has shown great activity during the day in the Lombaertzyde sector. Four Ger- man alrdromes were successfully bombed yesterday by our airplanes. Bombs also were dropped on an im- portant enemy railway junction, caus- _.__A - ing a large explosion. There was much fighting in the evening. Three hostile machines were brought down; six others were driven down out of control. Four of our airplanes are missing.” I Germans Won Footing “The enemy, several times driven back from the Caseauates plateau, to [which he had clung, suffered enor- .mous losses. On the Californie pla- 1teau. the Germans, after repeated Echecks, succeeded in gaining a foot- ging during the course of the after- ;noon in our first line, where the fight- :ing continued with stubbornness.” Fierce Drive on Aisne Fails The Paris war ofiice issued the fol- lowing report of the fighting in France Sunday night: “The battle has con- tinued with extreme violence in the region of Hurtebrise and Craonne un- der a bombardment of unheard-of in- tensity. Our observers reported great numbers of German batteries in ac- tion “The Germans directed their efforts chiefly against the Casemates and C31- ifornie plateaux, their attacks being without cessation and made with pow- erful effectives.

The junkers have thrown the old chancellor into the waste paper basket with his scrap of paper. You will not have long to wait before junkerdom will follow. The new chancellor's speech faces all ways. There are many phrases for those who earnestly desire peace, but there are also phrases about mak- ing the frontiers of Germany secure. That is the phrase which will once more turn Europe into a welter of blood inside a generation unless it is wiped out by the statesmanship of Europe. That speech means, if Ger- many wins. annexation all-round and military autocracy more firmly estab- lished. Gradually but surely we are increas- ing our production and decreasing our losses at sea. In the first three weeks of July we have not lost half as many ships as in three weeks of April. This year we shall turn out four times as many ships as last year, and next year six times as many. So far from our starving, our food supply for 1917-18 has already been secured, subject to reasonable economy. I do not want them to harbor any delusions that they are going to put Great Britain' out of this fight until liberty is re-established throughout the world. They are going to make the samemistake about America as they did about Britain. We could make peace with a free Germany, but not with 3. Germany dominated by autocracy.

Shows Colours in Reichstagâ€"Peace Resolution AdOptedâ€"Creo'it Voted A despatc‘n from Copenhagen last Friday said: The Reichstag yester- day adopted the hypocritical majority “peace” resolution by a vote of 21: to 116, with 17 not voting. The Ger- man Reichstag has voted without dis- cussion the third reading of the bill providing for a war credit of fifteen billion marks. The minority against the measure was made up of inde- pendent Socialists. Chancellor Mich- aelis, in his address before the Reich. stag yesterday, said Germany would not continue the war a day longer if it could obtain an honorable peace. The United States’ intervention was not regarded with 'serious concern. The German fleet, particularly the submarines. would master the situa- tion, he said. Lightning Kills Three Boys A despatch from London, Ont., on Sunday said: Three boys, Glen Soln, Aubrey Lovley, and Leonard Jones, each 16 years of age, and George Jones, 14 years old, were instantly killed this afternoon when a bolt of lightning struck a small bridge under- neath which they had crawled as a refuge from a terrific thunderstorm.
