ae z x FORTIFIED VILLAGE OF FRESNOY a} _¢lose second to the great yield of the . ~ \ A despatch from Canadian Army Headquarters says: Shortly before dawn on Thursday morning a Cana- dian column, composed of veteran troops, carried the fortified village of Fresnoy-en-Artois by storm. Stories of prisoners and of our own wounded as to what occurred in Fres- ( noy, and the trenches which protected it, agree that the enemy, who, as at Arleux, had taken over the defence only a few hours before the assault, had largely sought shelte® from the featfu) shell-fire to which he was sub-. jected by descending into deep dug- outs and to the cellars of houses. Our infantry followed closely behind the bursting shells and reached the en- emy's dugouts before he could emerge. For the occupants of the dugout that meant either surrender at.once or a horrible death by the bombing of the dugout. Some of the Germans holding the trench to the north of Fresnoy 'did emerge from their dugouts and ft a es 4 begin to fight. They speedily discov- ered that the Canadians, after passing , over the wire and trench system, posted men between the front line | trench and the enemy's supports, and | cut the Germans on the front line off from all chance to secure help. The men thus cut off were from the Rhen- ish provinces of Prussia. Practically an entire company of them surren- dered under these circumstances, through officers with them, but while the greater part of the prisoners were taken in this way, others surrender- 'ed only when they could no longer carry a rifle or operate a machine gun. A captured enemy officer said there was not time to bring the machine guns of his company into action be- 'fore the men were overwhelmed. The capture of Fresnoy carried the Canadians almost a mile further than before on the way to Douai, which is only a little more than eight miles. due east from the further point of Thursday's advance. FOE'S APRIL LOSS EXCEEDS 100,000 Fighting on the Western Front Disastrous for Huns, A despatch from the French Armies' correspondent, says:--After seeing a number of estimates which agree, I believe that the recently published figures of 100,000 for the total German losses in April appears very far below the reality. It may be but half of the truth. The Ger- man forees on April 1 stood as fol- lows: Total of German divisions, 219; on Western front, 148; on other fronts (Russian, Rumanian and Macedonian), 76. There was on the Western front on April 1 a general reserve of forty-four divisions. But the German divisions are not what they were. The process increase of tobacco duty by 1s 10d i AW eetosts of attrition brought them down to little, if any, more than half their former strength. We shall be justifi- ed in saying that the German general 4 3 | 7 z : ¢ ¢ ¢ arrela: $ resrves in the West did not exceed a! °f all vessels except small coasters at) oats, barrels, $8 figure between 440,000 and 500,000 men after the great retreaS and be- fore the beginning of the allied of- fensive, but this was virtually the only general reserve, EEE "ONE HAD PLAN TO EMBROIL STATES AND MEXICO Light Thrown on Germar. Propaganda Led by Rintelen A despatch from New York says:-- Plans of Capt. Franz Rintelen, of the German navy, to embroil this country in war with Mexico and Japan, and tke ineffectual efforts of former Re- presentative Frank Buchanan to en- list the support of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, in a project to prevent the manufacture and transportation of munitions in this country, were brought out in the conspiracy trial' of these two men and six others here on Wednesday. The defendants are charged with fomenting strikes de- signed to disrupt the Entente allies' munitions trade in this country through the activities of labor's Na- tional Peace Council, of which Mr. Buchanan was first president, Se SET ENE ALBERTA'S WHEAT CROP WELL OVER 50 MILLION BU. A Close Second to Great Yield of 1915, According to C.P.R. Estimate. A despatch from Calgary says:--A computation of the grain movement of the Province since September 1, 1916, has just Leen compiled by the Canadian Pacific Railway General Superintendent's office in this city. It indicates that a total of 54,000,000 bushels of all grain were transported by that company alone within this Province since September 1, 1916, or since the new crop came in. Of the total of 54,000,000 bushels of all grains, 35,000,000 bushels" were wheat, while the great bulk of the re- maining portion was oats. Taking these figures as a basis, it seems not unreasonable to suppose that the wheat production for the last eason was at least well over the fifty illion mark, which would make a/ previous year. + He's Hunting Yet.

A despatch from British Headquar- ; ters in France says: The battle has flared up again, and the Germans are again getting heavy punishment. We attacked Thursday mcerning while it was still dark. The fighting raged all day on a front reaching from the north of Arleux to beyond Bullecourt, a distance of 12 miles. Almost Sum- mer heat prevailed, with a thick haze, 'making it impossible to see anything and making the observation of the ar- | tillery difficult. It is not possible as yet to give a definite account of the gains, but it appears we won import- ant successes and captured the village of Fresnoy, and apparently Bulle- court, besides making a considerable advance on the greater part of the line between these places, taking a few hundred prisoners, of whom 300 have come down.
