the Sun Life and the Canada Life, he failed to see why their large profits should not 5e taxed just the same as hanks.R.B.Bennett agreed.Non-profit bearing policies should not be taxed, but

ENGLAND; : The Quebec Chronicle A sty sides; U.S.PUBLISHES REPLIES TO NOTE Austrians Are Defeated In Bukowina\u2014No Big Battles Are Taking Place In Poland\u2014: Cruiser Amethyst Does Dangerous Work In The Dardanelles ® , London, March 17\u2014Sir Edward Grey's repliss to the American notes on the use of neutral flags on British merchant vessels and the prohibition imposed upon foodstuffs destined for Germany, in which for the first time Great Britain definitely announces her intention to \u201cestablish a blockade,\u201d have again brought the diplomatic question to the front.The replies, which were published here with the American notes, contained no surprises, for beyond the use of the word \u201cblockade\u201d which heretofore has been avoided, their terms have been for the most part known.The assurances that neutral shipping will be interfered with as little as possible and that neither ships nor cargoes will be confiscated, it is felt here, should go a long way towards meeting the American objections.However, another protest is expected.i Even these diplomatic questions, on which so much depends, only momentarily distract attention from the battles on the eastern and western fronts, the operations against the Dardanciles and the activity of German submarines, which secured additional victims today.While Earl Kitchener, Secretary for War, and-other cabinet ministers and leaders are bending their energies towards increasing the output of war material and are encouraging recruiting, complete optimism prevails.That the victories of last week were gained only after heavy sacrifices and that the casualty lists must increase in length as the war progresses is fully realized, but everybody in England believes that when the time comes for the offensive there will be no turning back.At present the armies of Belgium, Great Britain and France are fighting for the hills and other points along the long front which will be of the greatest advantage to my holding them, when the advance begins.According to the French communication the Belgians continue to improve their positions in Flarders, and the French to the north of Arras and in Chauspagne have added eminences which are of some importance to their gains.The French and German official communications, however, are so contradictory that it is difficult to decide whether any change is being made generally in the dispositions of the two armies.The optimism which pervades the western\u2019 Allies is shared bv the Russians.All the Petrograd correspondents of the London papers lead the public to believe that big events are impending.lt is apparent that the Russians again, and not the Austrians, are on the move, particularly at Smolnik, on the River San, where it emerges from the Carpathians, while in Bukowina, according to unofficial despatches from Bucharest, the Austrians have deen defeated in a battle which has been raging along the entire front.In Northern Poland isolated actions are being fought from the Niemen River to Przasnysz, the big battle which was expected having apparnetly been called off or postponed by Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, who is thought to have attained his object when he extricated his forces from the forest of Augustowo.The Russian Caucasian army is working along the coast of the Black Sea and has taken the Turkish port of Archava and repulsed the attacks of the Turks who are still operating on the fringe of Russian territory.By publishing a casualty list tonight the British Admiralty confirmed the reports from Athens that the cruiser Amethyst made a dash into the Dardanelles and was struck by a number of shells.It is presumed here that Vice-Admiral Carden sent the cruiser on this risky mission to unmask any concealed bat.i ich the Turks might have located along the Straits and which he Allied fleet had not destroyed when they bombarded the forts.Naval experts say that the bows of the Amethyst could be cushioned so that she would receive no damage from coming into contact with mines, and in their opinion her success proves more heavily armored ships could at the present time penetrate the Straits, as guns which could not sink a light protected cruiser would make little impression on battleships.There is considerable speculation as to the negotiations which are reported to be taking place at Sofia, where the King of Bulgaria today received the Ministers of the Allies, the Rumanian Minister, and General Sir Arthur Paget, who is returning from a mission to Russia, The possibility of Bulgaria and Rumania simultaneously intervening in the war is suggested, the former accepting the offer which Greece declined.PNCCRCRCRC RC NOR RGO 8 2 Father Oillis of New York j OFF IC IAL \" Preaches in Montreal.DICO

by our fire.\u201cTo sum up, all these fruitless attempts caused the enemy considerable losses.\u201cIn the Argonne and in the region of Vauquois there was a violent cannonade but no infantry

Belgian government today issued a protest against the German allegation that documents found in the archives at Brussels showed that Belgium had forfeited her neutrality before the outbreak oi the war.After recounting the conversation which took place between the British and Belgian military officers in 1906, and 1912, which, as previously stated by Sir Edward Grey.the British Foreign Minister had \u201creference only to the situation that would be created if Belgian neutrality had already been violated.\u201d The Belgian protest says: \u201cThe Beigian government declares on its honor that not only was no convention ever made, but also thut neither of the two governments eves made any advances or propositions sencerning the conclusion of any such convention.Moreover, thé Minister of Great Britain at Brussels who along could contract engagements in her b:- hall never intervened in these conversations and the whole Belgian Ministry are ready to pledge themselves on oath that mo conclusion arising from these conversations was ever brought before the Cabinet o: even laid before one single member of it.\u201cThe documents which the Germans discovered give evidence of ali this.Their meaning is perfectly clear provided that no part of them is either garbled or suppressed.In face of the calumnies repeated again and again our government.faithfully reflecting Belgian unrightness.considers that it BELTING, PULLEYS, BADGER FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, CRESCENT PLATES AND RIVETS, | CLIPPER LACERS AND HOOKS.F.H.ANDREWS & SON, 258 St, Paul Street is its duty to inflict once

\u201cFirst\u2014Beforc the declaration n§ war no French force.even of the smallest size, had entered Belgium and no trustworthy evidence can by produced to contradict this affirmae tion.\u201cSecond.\u2014Not only did Belgium never refuse the offer of military helg offered by one of the guaranteeing powers, but after the declaration of war she earnestly solicited the proe tection of her guarantors.\u201cThird\u2014When undertaking, as was Yer duty, a vigorous defence of her fortress, Belgium asked for and received with gratitude such help as her guarantors were able to place at her disposition for that defence.\u201cBelgium, the victim o° her ows loyalty.will not bow her head before any power.Her honor defies assaul of falsehood.She has faith in t justice of the

\u201c APPEAL TO ACCELERATE WAR MUNITIONS OUTPUT BRITISH GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE OVER ALL | FACTORIES PRODUCING WAR MATERIAL TO- DAY\u2014LLOYD GEORGE DISCUSSES SITUATION.London, March 17\u2014The government intends to take over con- tro! of the factories in England for the production of war material.This announcement was made today by David Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchequer, at a conference of labor leaders, the representatives of various industries and the Committee of Imperial Defence.In an address appealing for an increase in the output of war material, the Chancellor said: \u201cRecent battles have shown that the tremendous concentration of artillery fire recently\u2014the greatest which has been witnessed upon any given point during the whole war\u2014 not only has ensured su-:cess, but has saved the lives of the soldiers who made the attacks.Therefore, if the workmen and factory owners desire to see the country win and are anxious to save the lives of the men they .must accelerate the output of muni~ tions.\u201cTo assist in this, the government has decided to take over the works.In doing so, the government proposes to impose a limitation on the profits and to ask the men to relax trade union restrictions and put their whole strength into the work.\" Before \u2018doing this, the Chancellor suggested, a complete understanding was desirable with the emp .oyers and workers.To the latter he proposed that, with a view to preventing a diminution in production by disputes, no stoppage of work by strike or lockout should take place with respect to work for government purposes.In event of difficulties existing which could nist he settled directly by employers and men the matter should be referred to an impartial tribunal appointed by the government on which labor should be equally represented with the employers.The Clyde workers, he said, had already taken a ballot in favor of accepting the government's proposal that their dispute should be referred to arbitration, and in the meantime had returned to work.As to trade union restrictions which tended to diminish the output, the Chanceilor asked that while the war lasted they should be suspended so far as they concerned semi-skilled and female labor, which has heen usefully employed in the French munition factories.In cor :lusion he asked for the co- Operation of the Labor leaders in dealing with the drink question.which was a most difficult one.In some districts this was vry serious and, he declared, was gravely interfering with the amount of the oriput, Another confirence
