KITCHENER LEFT HAMPSHIRE BUT THE LIFEBOAT UPSET Survivors Too, Exhausted To Tell Anything Concerning Disaster. the A r^<>spatch from London says: Various short reports regarUiiifc the loss of Lord Kitchener and his staff on the cruiser Hampshire continue to emanate from northern portw. One states that Lord Kitchener anil his staff embarked in a small boat and cleared the ship, but that the boat was swamped in the heavy seas. The disaster has now been located at two miles from shore, between Marwick Head and the BrouKh of Birsay, on the north-west coast of the Island of Pomona, the largest of the Orkney group. The disaster occurred only an hour after Earl Kitchener and members of his staff had embarked on the cruiser. A patrol ship in the neighborhood aerographed that it had sighted the warship afire, and then that it seemed to blow up, but the gale prevented hearing the sound of the explosion. Other ships instantly went I in search, but found no trace of the ' Hampshire, nor for some time any , bodien. The captain's gig was dash- ed ashore on tho Orkneys empty. The twelve survivors were flung ashore clinging to a small inflated raft, battered and exhausted. Two or three told those who helped them that â-  Lord Kitchener was alio;ird, then drop- ped asleep. Between 70 and 80 bodies ' some of them still v.arm, were found. Several had lost nearly all their lin- ger nails and toe naih, tryint? to clam- ber up the cliffs. It is reported that some reached shore alive, bub died of exhaustion. A big lifeboat has been washed on the rocks near Thurso, on the main- land. Seven feet of the stern of the craft was torn away, and no name showed, but apparently the boat had been one of those belonging to the Hampshire. TEUTONS ADMIT iENEMY LOSSES 6,800 MORE SEA LOSS IN THE NAVAL FIGHT Battle Cruiser Lutzow ;ind the Rostock Destroyed â€" New Reports on Fight. A despatch from London says: There was much sa'-isfaction express- ed at the .'Admiralty on Thursday over the publication of the admission by the German Naval Department of the loss of the battle cruiser Lutzow of 26,000 tons and the armored cruiser Rostock of 4,900 tons. BriHsh reports of the naval battle off Skagerrack had accounteil for these German .ships among others, which the Berlin state- ments had steadfastly omitted. The official ailmi.=sion that the loss of thjsp vessels was withheld "for mili- tary reasons" impugns the veracity of the German claim as to the results of the battle generally, in the opinion of atJtaches of the Admiralty. Fur- ther admissions confirming the Brit- ish reports are looked for. Total Number of Gernian Sailon Killed is 800. A despatch from London says : â€" The Copenhagen correspondent of The! Daily Mail learns from Kiel that thej first unofficial estimate of German | I losses in the North Sea gives the number of killed at 800, of wounded at 1,400 and of missing at 4,000. A , Central News despatch from Cop- 'enhagen says that the Swedish >leam-| 1 er Vanda passed the wreck of a gigan- I tic warship on Saturday, the nation- j I ality of which it wa.s unable to ascer- i I tain. Hundreils of bodies were float-! ing around the wreck and for three hours the Vanda steamed among dead , sailor."). Near the spot where the derelict was encountered the wreck of a big sailing vessel, apparently an in- nocent victim of the Jutland battle ; was sighted. ^ roCKSLRE OF VERDUN. Germany Claims She Will Occupy Town on Date Arranged. A despatch from Berlin says: The German General Staff figured that Verdun wruld fall in five 'months. German nr.ilitary experts now ex- press the view that all expecbations will be even surpassed. In quarters, where facts, not feelings, acts, not assertions, count, it is confidently pre- dicted that Verdun will be in the hands of the Germans in the first week of .July. NEWFOUNDLAND TO REPLACE .MEN LO.ST IN NORTH SEA. A despatch from St. .Johns, Nfld., says: To help make up for the losses suffered by tho British naval forces in the recent North Sea batrtle, New- foundland authorities began making plans on Friilay for a special recruit- ing campaign. An effort will be made to send forward one thousand men as the colony's share. « Tramp (entering taxidermist's) â€" "Do you stuff all kinds of things here?" Taxidermistâ€" "Why, yes."

GERMANS CARRY BIG WAR VOTE Two Socialists Oppose New Credit of $.3,000,000,000 A despatch fiom Berlin says : â€" The Budget was passed by the Reich- stag onWednesday, the only opposi- tion being the Socialist votes. There was almo.st complete unanimity in providing the new war credit of $3,- 000,000,000, only two Socialists cast- ing their ballots against it. Dr. Helf- ferich. Minister of Finance, told the Reichstag that the war expenditures from January to May, 1910, were ap- proximately $500,000,000 a month. This, Ife declared, was extraordinarly small in view of the enormous (|uan- tity of munitions that has been pro- vided to carry out the Verdun offen- sive. The opposition of the Socialists when the vote was taken on the Bud- get harl no bearing upon the war. The Socialists have been agitatintg for years for a new system of taxation to relieve tho workingman. They have, without exception, voted against the Budget on these grounds. The new war credit will not be drawn upon, it is estimated, until Sep- tember. Ampl« funds to carry on the operat'ons until then are on hand from the last loan in February, when more than $2,500,000,000 was obtained. BRITISH TftADE GROWS. Imports and Exports .Show Equal Increase In May. A despatch from London says : â€" The Board of Trade returns for May shows that imports increased £12,- 213,000. The increase was represent- ed princiiinlly by food products, grain_ flour and chemicalst Imports of cotton, however, decreased £2,700,000. Exports increased £13,40.''),000, the in- crease being chiefly in iron, steel, cot- ton and wool manufactured products. « IRKNCH AIR SQUADRON BO.MBARDS HOBOKEN. A despatch from London says: An i allied air squadron has successfully ! bombarded the wharves at Hoboken, ' near Antwerp, according to a despatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company â-  from Maestricht. The Germans are • said to have been building destroyers at Hoboken. The scioedron was fired on by German batteries, but> returned to its base safely.

VICTORY BY RUSSIANS WITHOUT A PARALLEL Matter.s iJe^in to Look Serious for the Whole Enemy Line in Russia. A despatch from London siiys: "The victory won by the Russians is with- out a parallel in military histwry," says a Petrogrud despatch to Rou- ter's Telegram Company. "The Rus- sians now occupy the whole triangu- laf fortified positions of Kolki, Lutsk and Olyka. "Military writers dwell on the great strategic importance of tihia tri- angle, which includes some of the best Austrian communication lines, and connects the centre between Poliensle, Volhynia and Poland and the roads to Galicia and Bukowina. "The Russians fought their way to Lutsk, a distance of twenty-five miles. In three days, through forests and marsh lands and over battered de- fences, the invincibility of which the Au.slro-Gcrmans had been boasting throughout the winter and spring. There is still no response to the Rus- rian I'hrust, and military writers de- I dare that matters begin to look seri- ous for the whole enemy line in Rus- sia. I "Col. Shumsky, the military critic of I The Bourse Gazette, declarer the junc- tion between the Austrlans and Ger- ^ mans has been cut clea?i through, thus exposing the right flank of the Ger- mans and the left flank of the Aus- trians and making them almost de- ; fenceless to further Russian attacks." .\nother despatch from I'etrogrnd ' says: The Lut'.ik victory changes the whole position on the Russian south- western front. Hardly less important , is the Russian success in Galicia, where the Austrian positons bttween Trybuchovce and Jaslovitz, south of Buczacz, have been forced and the Austrlans driven beyond the Strypa. In Bukowina again the Austrlans were driven back south of Okiui, and the head of the railway leading to ('zorno- , vilz is in RuMsian hands. MUNITIONS OF WAR ACT APPLIED TO LIVERPOOL. A despatch from Liverj^ool says: An ofTieial announcement if'^*" out her(t on Thursday says the (Jovern- ment has decided to apply to the | Liverpool docks that section of the ; munitions of war act which provides i that no employer may declare a lock- i out and that no employee may go on â-  strike. j FRANCE HAS ADVANCED I CLOCKS ONE HOUR.

A despatch from Ottnwa says: The Postoffice Department has received infoimation that gifts sent from Can- ada to soldiers from Canada serving in Briti:-h regiments stationed in Great Britain, and to naval reservist's and others from Canada serving in the navy, are exempt from customs duty, provided they are addressed in care of the Canadian War Contingent Association, Army Postoffice, London England. Arrangements have been made for this association to act> as a central authority for the distribution of such parcels from Canada, and free customs entry is restricted to such parcels as are sent through the asso- ciation. . ♦ - GOVERNMENT OF NORWAY RESTRICTS LIQUOR TRAFFIC A despatch from Christiania says: â€" On account of the general strike, tho Government has passed a law pro- hibiting the sale or importation of strong liiiuors, wines and beer and the ' shipment of liquors throughout the j country. The police also have been ordcired to prevent the serving of wine and beer in restaurants. ♦ â-  -- 1 RUSS SINK THIRTEEN I BIG TURK SHIPS. ' I A despatch from Odessa says: Rus- sian torpedo-boat destroyers have ' sunk, thirteen large Turkish ships laden with merchandise, off the Ana- â-  tolian coast. | A despatch from London says: Special despatches from Petrograd express the belief that t?he Russian successes against the Austrians are fur more important than appears from the official announcements. The Daily Telegraph's correspon- dent ventures the assertion on the au- thority of a prominent Russian expert that "all five Austrian armies are on the eve of a general retreat, and that Lemberg is in great strategic danger.'' On the same authority it is asserted that "a strategic breach 100 miles wide has been blown in the Austrian front, involving the armies of General Count von Bothmer and General von Boehm-Ermolli, and part of that of Archduke Joseph Ferdinand. According to other despatches, the Russian success is largely due to the unprecedented use of artillery, sur- passing in int>en!=ity any previous ef- forts on either side on the east front. The retreat of many Austrian trench detachments was completely cut off by a curtain of shrapnel through which it was impossibles for any liv-* ing thing t» pass, and t^e Austrians were thus compelled to Airrender en masse. '• Tho Times estimates the Austrian losses at 200,000. The Volhynian fortress of Lutsk, 30 miles from the Galician frontier, fell into Russian hands last Tuesday, the first importanb capture by the Czar's forces since the great Spring drive on the 250-mile front from the Pripet to the Roumanian border be- gan. The fall of Lutsk was announced by the Russian W'ar Office on Thursday night. New Invasion From North. The capture of Lutsk threatens the Austrians with a new invasio:. of Ga- licia from the north. Vienna de- spatches express the fear that the abandonment of Dubno, the apex of the Volhynian fortress triangle, will become automatically necessary, and the fall of that stronghold would com- pel the Austro-Hungarians to retire within the Galician border. The Russians, according to Petro- grad, scored another notable success in the last 24 hours. Pushing forward ' in massed formation, with an unpre- , cedented outpour of artillery, they pressed t^e Austro-Hungarian troops i defending the "doors of the Buko- wina" to the River Strypa, taking I strong positions on the Tribuchowice- â-  Jaslowice front. Both places lie a few miles from one another west of the Stripa and south of the important ' city of Buczaz. This success, if fol- ' lowed up by further progress, men- I aces the Bukowina crown land with ; invasion and the whole Austro-Hun- '' garian army defending it â€" estimated j at from 250,000 to 300,000â€" with be- I ing cut off. I 'The Russian official report asserlw that the total number of prisoners taken in the new oft"ensive has been brought up to 54,000. I A despatch from London says: The Russian invasion of Austria grows I apace. Town affwr town has fallen, according to the Petrograd official re- ports, and the advantage of the Czar's troops has developed into a continu- ous pursuit of those of Francis Joseph. I The Volhynia fortress of Dubno has : been captured by the Russians, and I the Governor of the great fort-ress of Lemberg has been ordered by the Austro-Hungarian authorities to pre- pare to leave the city. The Austrians, on Vienna's admis- sion, have been driven across the Strypa; t^e Russians have crossed the Styr above Lutsk, and in a strong development along the Dneister hav« taken Buczacz and another army of prisoners has been captured. Buczaca is a most important railway town on the lower Strypa, and is regarded as the strategical gateway to Bukowina. In an effort t» dam the Russian flood, 45,000 Austrians t»ave been withdrawn from the Italian front. It is said that the evacuation of Czer- nowitz has been ordered, and that there is a panicky feeling in Vienna, which is crowded with fleeing Gali- cians. The capture of Dubno means the repassing into Russian hands of the famous Volhynian triangle of 'forts. Lutsk fell on Thursday, and Roveno never really passed into Russian hands. ON CRUISER INDEFATIGABLE YPRES SALIENT MUST BE HELD . DESPITE LOSSES INVOLVED Canadian Authorities Communicated With the Hrilish (loneral Staff ConcernlnR Uh Abandonment. A despatch from Ottawa nays: In view of tho heavy losses sustained during tho past two weeks by the Can- adian forces in defending the position known as tho Ypres salient enquiry has been made by the CUinadian au- thorities of the Britrinh general staff. Tho Informatloii obtained in reply is that the position Is an impor'otnt one, and that notwithstanding the serious loss incurred. It i.i rtioiiglit necessary to defend it. Tbo German lossea in the variotis , attacks, according to the information communicated, have been greater than those of the Canadians, and at other points on the Britnsh lino where the German.^ have attacked the losses on both sides have been no less serious. , No additional details of the fight- ing have been received by the Militia I Department, but nn eye-witness ac- count in expected bo reach Ottawa I from Sir Max Altkon In a few days. I Tho losses, according to the latest of- ficial statement, have been over 6,000 of all ranks. Markets of the World Brckdstnffs. Toronto.

"Although the Canadians sufTere*! severely," he asserted, "the enemy suffered at least equal losses I owing to the combined eflTort.s of our artillery and our infantry. .\s usual, ! it was with lachrymose gas shelKi that the Germans fought but our heavy artillery, including a certain brigade of which one battery is made up of Montrealers, did most effective work I in backing up the bombing attacks of i our infantry.
