Report Issued by the Census and Statistics Office, Owing to the mild winter and the favorable conditions which preâ€" vailed during the critical months of March and April, the fall wheat crop is reported as being excepâ€" tionally good on April 30. In Onâ€" tario, where 1,043,000 acres were sown as estimated last fall, not more than 6.8 p.c. is reported as winter killed, and in Alberta, with 230,000 acres estimated as sown, the proportion winter killed is only 6.2 p.c. These proportions are lower than in any year since 1908â€" 09 for Ontario and lower than in any previons year on record for Alberta. Last year the percentage winter killed was 19 in Ontario and 15.6 in Alberta. In Ontario th» area winter killed amounts this year to 71,000 acres, and in Alberâ€" ta to 14,300 acres. These figures, deducted from the areas sown, leave 972,000 acres in Ontario and 215,700 acres in Alberta as the areas under fall wheat to be harâ€" vested. With 10,800 acres in Maniâ€" toba, 4,100 acres in Saskatchewan and 6,000 acres in British Columâ€" bia, the total area under fall wheat to be harvested this year amounts to 1,208,700 acres, as comâ€" m with 973,300 mores, the area sted in 1914. Whilst thereâ€" fore, as previously reported, the areosowntovfilutfallwus Kw cent. more the area sown the fall of 1913, the mom:fi area to be harvested, owing to small area winter killed, amounts to 24 p.c.

Organized bodies of troops, directâ€" ed by officers, systematically murâ€" dered innocent â€" nonâ€"combatants ; young girls and women were outâ€" raged, mutilated and murdered; children were the object of the most revolting of crimes. Breaking into shops and private houses, German soldiers looted the â€"wine cellars and for days on end debauched themâ€" selves, committing crimes of every description while in a state of inâ€" toxjcation. Anxious to be scrupuâ€" lously fair, the committee reports that in some cases German officers themselves were horrified and sickâ€" ened at what was going on, but were forced to continue the slaughâ€" ter ordered by their superiors. In other cases isolated crimes were committed by individual soldiers. Many months ago Premier Asâ€" quith named this committee, whose personnel includes such men as Sir Frederick _ Pollock, Sir Edward Clarke, Sir Alfred Hopkinson, H. A. L. Fisher (viceâ€"chancellor of the University of Sheffield), Harold Cox and Kenelm Digby, and inâ€" structed them to carefully sift all evidence of "outrages alleged to have been committed by German troops during the present war.‘" This they have done, and their reâ€" port is a document that will atâ€" tract worldâ€"wide attention. The report of this committee has reâ€" peatedly been asked for by indiâ€" viduals and newspapers during the last fow months, but the members refused to be hurried, and only published it after they had thorâ€" oughly established the authenticity of every statement contained in it. These were very numerous and ‘"‘more shocking than would be exâ€" pected in warfare between civilized powers."‘ Crimes of _ Unparalleled Horror Committed by Kaiser‘s Armics. A despatch from London says : When Canadians, secure in their homes thousands of miles away from the devastated battlefields of France and Belgium, hear stories of crime and outrage beyond the conception of their wildest imaginaâ€" tion, they may perhaps be excused for being sceptical. But now the last vestige of doubt has vanished. The powerful light of sworn eviâ€" dence taken by a specially picked Imperial Government committee, under the chairmanship of Viscount Bryce, former British Ambassador at Washington, has been turned on, and Germany, in the eyes of the civilized world, stands convicted of having deliberately planned _ and carried out wholesale massacres of crime of unimagined horror.
