SURE IF RUSSIA BECOMES A REPUBLIC \u2014 \u2018RUMORS UNTRUE.The Hague, March 36-\u2014A deipatch to the London Daily Express says: \u2018The stories circulated with such per- sistençe that revolutionary outbreaks | had occurred in various parts of Gersmañy ate untrue.This is proved by statentents made to me by two Dutchmen who arrived here today from Berlin.At the same time travellers report that the Russian revolution has brought about a tremendous change, especially in the south- crn states, In opinions of Prussia and | Prussian militarism.The Kaiser's theatrical message of thanks te Hindenburg is only one of many imperial manoeuvres to keep up the public confidence in the army's victories which has been shaken by the grest retreat The Kaiser's congratulations to the

thoroaghly the first lesson of the navel officer\u2014the art of listening carefully \u2018and saying little.A judi- clous word in praise of Edinburgh helps to break the ice\u2014for what Scots man or boy can remain indifferent when the castle and Arthur's seat and the distant Forth come up before his eye in memory.It is four years since the middy saw fiis mother and promenaded Princess Street.He started out as a boy in the merchant service, sailing in steamers that trade slong the coast of South and Central America.When the war came, the boy of less than seventeen volunteered 25 a midshipman

Again.One of these blond Russians is probably the kesnsat fighting man sboerd.His papers show that in the fall of 1914 he took part in the invasion of East Prussia.He was/- wounded in an engagement in the Mazurian Lake region early in the campaign.Upon his recovery he was sent to the Galician front and took part in the fearful mid-winter operations which emabled Brusileff early in 1915 to seize and hold the Carpathian passes.He was again wounded, snd, upon leaving the hospital, was mustered ost as no longer fit for service.He drifted to Siberia and thence by way of Manchuria to Japan, whence he shipped en 8 vessel bound for British Columbis.There he saw some of his countrymen being enlisted in Can nélan regiments under arrangement between the Imperial Russian ent British governments\u2014which permits Russians liable for military duty to serve in the Canadian overseas force if they so desire instead of returning to Rusia.The twice wouanded Slav, who had done his dit, did not now of this arrangement.He felt fit again end wanted to be returned to Russia that he might once nore face Teutons.It was explained hat he would glve as effective service by joining In Canada and coute thereby secure more kopecs.When he reaches the western front he wilt fave travelled almost round the world since his discharge to be drawn baci: for the third time Into! the maelstrom by the irresistible magnet of his sense of duty to Holy Russie.He is of the \u201cIntefligenzia\u201d snd spoke Prench and German as well as his oatural gue before the \u2018war began.Now he is adding English.For him, as\u2019for most of his compatriots of the intellectuals.pride of race is the dominant moti-' ve.Peter the Great's will may be a myth, but the thinking Russian da amazingly keen in carrying out the injunction of the will te make Constantinopie still more the centre of eastern Christianity.The Purser and Palestine.When war eame Britain had almost hal a million men habituated to a life on the ocean, either in the navy or mercantile marine.Most of them are still doing business on the high seas.The\u2018 number killed or permanently disabled by the enemy ic naval actions sad in submarine warfare against transports and merchant ships is well under twenty-five thomsend officers and men\u2014iess than five per cent of the total.The others are today doing more work thas ever before.The British navy has been greatly enlarged since the omtbreak of war and has many more men in its ratings than in 1914, and the mercantile marine hay been drawn upon for no small part of them.Oa the liners now engaged in the transport service, \u2018he fastidious] service bestowed by numerous stewards on exacting saloon passengers is spread eut thin to care for many times their number of soldiers who crowd every nook and corner of the vessel .The purser is the business manager of the transport ag of the passenger liner.It was a fortunate thing for the hundreds of thousands of men carried long distances overseas that trained officials were ayajisble ia aumbers sufficient not only to pavigate trans ports safely, but to care for the men en route to whom good food and sanitary conditions by day and night are absolutely essential.At the best, the men\u2019s quarters jn 8 trooper are endurable, but fittle more.Were it nos that ship's officers, who know every] difficulty liable to arise, and who have solved similiar problems scores of times, are on hand to smooth out the rough places, the transportation ok soldiers would be a serious affair, The suave pursers and stewards with thirty or forty years at sea in the company of pampered saloon passengers and ignorant and {inexperienced immi grants in the steerage, fod it a posit- ve pleasure to adjust the little rival ries and jealousies over quarters thay arise when two or three battalions make the voyage together, s The purses of this vessel takes to his present duties sll the mere readily because he sees in the war the fulfilment of certain prophecies which point to the expulsion of the Turk from the Holy Land.That the Turk must go he feels assured.If he does mot, then for the purser the great struggle will have been in voin.He le not a fighting man, but he has glad- iy risked his life for two and & halt years, and will contrive to do se til} the \u2018wer ends, to nce the cause he hoo ot

dollars of the bonds, or the subscriptions of persons seeking to convert ten-year securities floated in 1011, or 6 par cent debenture stock maturing in 1919 nto the new twenty-year issue.It is predicted that the subscriptions for the new loan may be found to have reached $230,000,000, including those of the banks, and excluding those to be paid by conversion of ths earlier war issues.An official statement issued today Bays: \u201cWhile the subscription lists os Canada\u2019s third war loan closed on Friday the 23rd March, several days must yet elapse before the mails from stant points carrying thousands of subscriptions are received.Suffcient Applicatinons.however, have come to hand to warrant the Minister of Fin- @nce in stating that the loan is an ua- qualified success.When all the subscriptions have been received it will be found that the loan has been cou- siderably.oversubscribed.without taking into ggcount the subscliptions of the chartèred Banks.or conversions into this loan of bonds or stocks of pny other issue.Indeed, the Minister wonld Bot be surprised if the total subscriptions, including those of the Banks and excluding conversions, would aggregate $230,000,00:., All three domestic loans floated in Canada have thus Leen oversubscrib- | ed.In 1911, when fifty millions were required, applications for one hundred were received.In 1916, whzn $100,000,000 of bonds werc offered.subscriptions for more than doubic that amount were received.It is sait that in the present case only the original authorized total of $130,000, 000 will be issued, that the subscrin- tions of the banks will probably not be accepted, and that the funds in their hands will thus be left available for carrying on the ordinary business of the

Mar, 26\u2014Penetrating today in- i0 and under the vast prison palace of Nicholas Romanoff, the deposed Emperor, the correspondent of the Associated Press today obtained from the jailer the first reliable statement of the former Emperor's condition and later visited the desecrated grave of Gregory Rasputin, Russia's resl autocrat for a decade and the unin- tending parent of the revolution, Since the visit paid by the correspondent to the palace last week severer measures bave been taken to guard the prisoner.These grew out of rumoss of an attempted Might, monarchist conspiracies against the temporary government and pressure by extremist forces.The guards have been increased and a special representative of the councii of deputies put among them.On announcing his desire to visit the grave of Rasputin the soldiers demanded his passport of the correspondent and then led him to the kitchen eatrunce of the palace prison, which is the headquarters of the guards.Behind the kitchen entrance stand a complex system of low bui dings built around a countyard and ending in a series of subterranean and semi- subterranean galleries running the whole way under the palace.Inside the second entry is a small hall crowded with soldiers.All these parts of the palace is dirty.dingy, ill- lighted and unimpressive.not at all such as might be expected of the surroundings of a great monarch in captivity.: The correspondent was led to the palace commandant.Captain of Cavalry Kotzebue.Capt.Kotzebue's headquarters are in an angle of an old and now untenanted section of the Tsarskoe Selo Palace.He gave the correspondent a soldier escort and a permit to pass along the road tc Rasputin's grave.The captain is Nicholas\u2019 chief jailer and responsible to the Duma that no flight takes place and that there is no breach in the severe inspection regime.He is youthful and urbane an offiecr of the guard type speaking perfect French and English.After telling the correspondent that he had been given orders to arrest all civilians who asked the soldiers questions about the complex geography of the palace, Capt.Kotzebue consented to say something about the condition of the former Emperor and his family in their imprisonment.politely calling Nicholas \u201cformer Emperor.\u201d whereas all the soldiers say brusquely, \u201cNicholas Romanoff.\u201d \u201cThe former Emperor is

WANTON DEVASTATION.The Infantry Could Scarcely Be Restrained From Desperate Rush Forward.\" At the French front in France, Sunday, March 38,-via Paris, March 36\u2014 (From a staff correspondent of The Associated Press) \u2014 French troops had a chance today to show cheir dash and skill in semi-open fighting ana took ample advantage of it.At the.southern pivot of the so-called Hindenburg line, which is supposed to be about at Naillyy they came to grips on several occasions with the Germans, who attempted to make a stand on the edge of the Crouy platan.The Associated Press correspondent watched today's engggemen: from a nearby height and saw the French soldiers gradually push away the German opposition and attain ths points they were seeking to occupy with a precision little short of marvelous.The French had kept close on th: heels of the retiring Germans since they quit Soissons, never giving them a moments respite until th: pursuers occupied the sort of triangle formel by the three points of Crouy, Missy- sur-Aisne and Pont Ronge on the Maubeuge road.At the last named the Germans evidently expected to cease their retirement, as was shown by their abandoning the useless work of sawing down fruit trees.It was this wanton devastation by the Germans in the country around Soissons and other places which so incensed the French infantry, composed mostly of peasants and farmers, that they could scarcely be restrained from a desperate rush forward after the retreating foe.But prudence prevailed and careful handling enabled them eventually to capture from the Germans many positions which had been prepared for stera defense, such as Vuiliery and Pont Rouge.As the correspondent watched the countryside nver which the attacking troops were proceeding not a vestige could be seen of the advancing men on foot.They trickeld through under cover of the brush wood until they had assembled in sufficient strength and near enough for a striking blow.Meanwhile German sirmen circled overhead unable té | locate them.Then an inferno of | drtillery fire broke forth from the French guns, after which a final spurs by the infantry carried the position, which on this occasion was a biz farmhouse near Margival.This was held in the face of desperatc counter attacks.The Germans themselves had few trenches in this vicinity, relying for the most part on organized centers of resistance and their heavy artillery.The correspondent had come up from Soissons through a territory laid waste as had been the countryside everywhere else where the Germans had been forced to evacuate.Soissons \u201citself is still bombarded almosc daily and the final effort before the Germans left the adjacent trenches on March 18th was an endeavor to set fire to the town and the much battered cathedral.The latter was showered with incendiary shells, but these died out without affecting the heavy stone roof.The remainder of the cathedral had been munch damaged during the previous bombardment and a German officers diarv found in an abandoned battery position shows that the attempt to destroy it was methodical.The French troops are enthusiastic ov re their recent successer in open warfare in this vicinity, one of the most brilliant feats of which was the capture of Pont Rouge by the famous Alpine rifle corps.RAILWAY TREASURER SHOT BY BURGLAR Philadelphia, March

TO THE DOMINIONS FINAL REPORT OF DOMINIONS COMMISSION HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED.London, March 36\u2014(Vis Reuters Ottawa Agency)\u2014The final report of the Dominions Commission, which has just been issued, sets forth numerous conclusions and recommendations which it brings to the notice of the Imperial and Dominion Governments.It declares, regarding the scientific development of natural resources, that it is vital that the Empire be placed in a position enabling it to resist any pressure which a foreign power, or a group of powers, could exercise in time of peace or war through control of essential raw materials and come modities.1t recommends that a complete survey should accordingly be made of the determining between Fmpire production and Empire requirements of such materials.With reference to such materials and commodities as are mainly produced and controlled outside of the Empire, such as cotton, petroleum, nitrates and potash, the most careful inquiry is needed regarding the pose sibility of new sources of supply or the finding of substitutes within the Empire.Survey and investigation in this respect should be cntrusted to the new Imperial development board which would work through existing depastments in the United Kingdom and self-governing Dominions and local scientific departments and the Imperial Institute {or India, the Crown Colonies and protectorates.The report recommends for greater control by Imperial and Overseas agencies for the selection of emigrants; the creation vf a central emigration authority for the purpose of supervision, and à further consnitating board to effect a proper cu-relation between the central authoritief and the activities of the Dominions, Fr urges the need of providing adequate capital, training and assistance for intending soldier-acttiers, and far greater attention to the emigration of women from Great Britain, and increasing the same.Proposal is made for the interchange of school teachers between the United Kingdom end the Domirions.STEAMER REMUERA SAFE IN U, 8.PORT Washington, March 36\u2014The British steamer Remuera with passengers ar- , tived at an American port today after s enfe

street, Fongueuil.The Longueuil police, under Chief Charron, who investigated what seemed to be a piece of timber frozen in the ice about two miles from shore, sud near the sewage discharge pipe, at 8 o'clock Sunday morning, found the farmer's dead body seated in his sleigh immere ed in eight feet of water.It was evident that the horse, sleigh and occa pant had broken through the ice where it bad become thin through the action of the sewage discharge.His body Was recovered and taken to the morgue.One Taken, The Other Loft.While crossing from the south side of the Lachine Canal over the ice to a munition factory, opposite St.Phillip street, two men fell into the water at 6 o'clock Sunday evening.One was drowned, and Joseph Cote, 183 Delinelle street, whose shouts brought help, and a rope,

FOODSTUFFS TO THE ALLIES.Washington, March 38 \u2014 Government officials look upon the speeding up of the foodstuffs production in the United States as one of the most important means of assisting in the war against Germany, should the United States take an active part.\u201cOf the most important two things that this country could do \u2018or its allies in case of war\u2014nameiy, to finance and to feed them\u2014perhaps the more import is to maintain a steady flow of foodstuffs to their shores,\u201d says an authorized statement by Assistant Secretary Vrogmaa, of th: Departmetn of Agriculture.It looks, the statement adds, as though it would be a good business «troke for the farmer this spring to sow his normal oats acreage to spring wheat and \u201cit is certain that it would be a valuable step in the direction oi nationai agricultural preparedness.\u201d Since the policy of stimulating ford production would have to be supplemented by a policy guaran:eeing the farmer against loss due to possible overproduction, the Department holds that Congress alone can deal with this question effectively, although the Department can do something toward speeding up production

France, March 3¢, via London\u2014This is the story of the priest of Voyennes, Monsieur Le Cure Caron, who stood today in the shadow of the still hot walls of his church, which tad been eet alight by the Germans the day they slipped away from this plain little village perched above the valley of the Somme, Flashes of passionate protests mingled with a spirit of proud resignation in his recital of the life at Voyennes during the two and a balf years of Cerman control\u2014a civil imprisonment, which ended Monday last when through field glasses from the loft of his presbytery the priest, who was also acting mayor, saw four kbaki-clad horsemen on the road and knew that the Germans bad gone and British relief was at Land, A few minutes later a French eav- alry patrol appeared, and the Allies had formed a new link in the pursuit os the common foe.Today the boom- ng of the guns in this pursuit could be heard over a stretch of eighty battle miles.The Cure 4c'd how a few narrow scars in the carth, known à German wenches, ribbos of barbed wire be- bind them and a bit of shelitorn waste called \u201cNo Man\u2019s Land,\u201d had isolated a section of the French people from their country as effectually as if they had been suddenly trans planted to another hemisphere.He wid how in Voyennes women, child cen and old men lived and toiled for the invaders in utter ignorance of what was going

week and would be pillaged and burned.Later they were told: \u2014\u201cParis is dead,\u201d and the Germans added insult to injury, the old priest exclaimed, Ly pronouncing it \u201cParis,\u201d instead of \u2018Paree.\u201d The inhabi:ants of Voyennes submitted to enemy domination with heads erect ard patient calmness the Germans could not understand.\u201cWe would break your pride.\u201d

that France would fight five years and more if necessary.Sometimes they iaughed scornfully at «his, but lately they could not con- \u2018ain their fury that the war was last- ng so long.\u201d

00000G0O00C00SQ0O ° Q © PRESS COMMENT.©» e cpuoevoecodOoB OOOO Tt is not easy to understand the constitutional character and relation of the bodies representing the British Fiapire now in session in London.Precedents are being brushed aside.All is new.And as the business ir hand is of transcendent importance.so must be the manner in which it is conducted.\u2018Im :ke first place, there has been à change in the Government of Great Britain.Instead of a large Cabinet inc'uded in a larger Mniistry, there is mow à amal! \u201cWar Cabinet.\u201d consisting of the first four members of the Government, who do not consider it necessary to attend meetings oi the House of Commons, though responsible to it.Thus, Mr Lloyd George, because so engrossed with the duties of the War Cabinet, does net ususily appear in Parliament and the\u2019 House of Commons, as a rule, is \u2018ed by Mr.Bonar Law, who.not be- ng, in the War Cabinet, can spare the time.To this very small body, renresensatives of the Dominions, while chey are in London, are being admitted, Because it is so small, it comes to quick decisions on the actual conduct of the war.It regulates the foreign policy of the Empire.It will probably have most to do with shaping the terms of peace.There sould be no more striking evidence cf the new status of the Dominions than tne fact that they are being allowed to share ie the innermost counsels on such matters.It would be interesting to know where the ul- tinate authority rests, the permanent War Cabinet being responsible to the British Parliament, and the represen- tativen of the Dominions to their everal Parliaments.In all probability, the representatives of the Dominions are taking part in an ad- eolleagues of the mother country utilising the information and defer- -ing as mueh as practicable to the wishes of the visitors, but retaining the power to decide.Then there is the Imperial War Conference.This would seem to be fn i:s complexion and functions very similar to the Imperial Conferences bald ocensienally in time of pence.These Conferences discuss matters of interest to all the Dominions.Their conclusions are vubject tu ratification by the various Parliamente affected.The only difference.we should think, between an ordinary Imperial Conference and the preront Imperial War Conferenca is that \u2018be latter will concern itselt chiefly with problems growing out of the war.One dispatch says: \u201cIt fo clearly omderstood that the pra: tical after-the-war probleme which the Conferences beging te discuss to- das, mcinding demobilisation, PL nafs, land settlement, shipping, visory capacity, the Premier and his |- Piles, burns osalde, outs and all skin injuries.box.All druggists and stores.or Zam-Buk Co., Toronto AM-B Ana'ly settled by

representatives of the distant part- of t- Empire are in London the Im- , per:a! War Cabinet will do likewise.On tie alternate diys the Imperial | War Conference will meet.This | sonr\u2018ant seesaw between the tw | bodies is exovected to continue about | six weeks.Sir Robert Borden will | mot he able to return to Canada as.som as he had calculated and ae | Pazliament at Ottawa will have te go on without him.Premier Hughes of Aurtralis, detained at home by a Caoiret erisis entil too late to start for london, will not be there at all, © but Lis place will be ably taken by: Sir Andrew Fisher, a former Premier, and Australia\u2019s permanent Com missioner in London.i So vast a question as the reorganization of the Empire is not expected \u2018c be taken up at this juncture.Itmay be much better dealt with when the war is over and everything once more becamzs-normal.\u2014 Hamilton | Spectator.i ANCIENT ABYSSINIA.The Abyssinians are a race renowned for their courage and good 'ooks.Of a deep brown in entor, they are well formed and handsome intelligent and fond of gayety, too, but their needs are very simple.ani they live in primitive fashion in rough circular stone huts thatcehd rough circular stone huts thatched sinia dates very far back.Before Christ the country formed part of the ancient country of Ethiopia.The queen of Sheha was an Abyssinian queen.and the kings of Abyssinia claim descent from her \u2014Lon, don Spectator.MUDDLED THINKING It would he foolish to say that a dynamo and an electric light are the same thing.that green apples is a term synonymous with indigestion, that an architect's plans are the same thing as a completed building or that sex attraction is but another name for the social institution ralled the family.In the same way it is an evidence of muddled thinking two maintain that beine ænod ie the same thing as heinæ religious\u2014 Bernard I.Bell in Atlantic.AT ONCE!

for work.He urged that the workers demand employment at the Ross plant either manufacturing the Ross rifie, the Lee-Enfield, airplanes, etc.Mr.Walsh smoothed over the difficulty by explaining that it was he and not the Union that had proposed the resolution which follows: Whereas two thousand men of the Ress Rite Co.are out of work due to the closing down of the Factory, We respectfully ask the Hon.Minister of the District of Quebec to! facilitate ways and means to get work for those men if possible in the City of Quebec and that those wen be given preference when the shops reopen.\u201d | The motion was seconded by Mr.G.Desbiens.Secretary of the mect- ing who delivered a short speech.During the course of his remarks Mr.Walsh expressed himself as fav- cring the nationalization of the plant.He stated that all munitions vorks should have been taken over by the Government at the outbreak of the war.He was not surprised of the news now of the expropriation vf the Ross Rifle Factory stating that it was bound to come.From a labor point of view he did not piace much faith in either the Liheral or Conservative party.He said what work Had been secured from the Federal Government in the past had te.be forced from those in power, In concluding he gave the encouraging | news that ai! union card men who reported to the Union office during the week would be given employment.A very forcible speech was given by Mr.KR.Mrodie.He opened his remarks by stating that the Goverme ment was to expropriste the Ross Factory on Wednesday.One thing ce said was certain that the Federal authorities were unaware of the quantity of raw material that was on hand.This material he estimated at «ver $1,000,000 and unfortunately none of it could be utilized in the manufacture of the Lee-Enfield rifte.He delacred that as the Govern ment had the option of securing from the Imperial Government all instruments for manufacturing tae lee-Enfield from the United States, he asked would it not be better to use the material at present in the Ross Factory instead of scrapping it.Before that period arrived he said it was quite certain that the plant would be ready for the new model.Mr.Brodie stated that he saw by the Toronto Mail and Empire of | Thursday last that Sir George Fos- | ter intimated that the Government expropriation of the Ross Rifle would mvolve unemployment for the work.crs for at least six months.He (Mr.Brodie) did not know that it takes a lang time to train a man to become an efficient worker on rifle parts.A great number of Ross Rifle em- poyees have been with the firm continuously for fifteen years, the speaker declared.-1f these men were dispersed when the Government re- | quired \u2018them they would not be available.The Government would lose oy this, Mr.Brodie stated, whereas ty following out the course he suggested the whole of the difficulties of expropristion would be solved.By this means the Federal authorities would carn a reputation for fair dealing.In conclusion he placed the follow ing resolution before the meeting which was adopted.This mecting of Ross Rifle Empioyees reaffirms the Resolution passed unanimously at a previous assembly of Employees, and further demands that the Government resume operations on the Ross Rifle, and continse until ail the materials, raw and manufactured.are absorbed in the process.The meeting desires the Government to follow this course only ir the interest of the Employees effect.e Copies of this Resolution to he sent to The Acting Federal Premier and his Cobinet Colleagues, Sir Robert Borden and the respective Premtrs of every Province of Canada.That the labor mén were not prop: erly orgatized with about 80 p.c.outside the unions was set forth by Mr.Jas.Muldawney during his oration.He deciared that it wap in troubles of this kind thyt the workmen gen.High-School Suits are Better Clothes than à Bo Could Ever Get Before!
