"We have all followed wit'h admiration the forward movements of our brave allies in an offensive operation which has been marked with complete l success and which is still proceeding with every promise and indication of I "being wholly satisfactory. The attacks delivered by our forces at first were ^ not attended with the same immediate rsuccess, owing to the elaborate arrangements made by the Germans to defend their lines altv.* their experience at Xeuve* Chappe.le, but on the iygnt of May 15, by a renewed effort, the British forces drove back the enemy on a front of approximately two Tniloc frvr> o Artncinortihlo rlictsinunri IJLXX UVO iVi CL * V*.

"T&ese offensive operations against i the trenches of the enemy have de manded enormous expenditures in ammunition, both of our usual type and also of the highest explosive pattern which we are now making. I am confident that in tfte very near future we shall be in a satisfactory position in ! regard to the supply of these shells. I "In these recent offensive operations our losses an-d tJfcose of the French have been heavy, but the task our armhaw ar?nnmnlishtari has nerPSSitat Ied great sacrifices, and the spirit and morals of our troops has ever been higher than at t?e present moment." The war secretary had this to say concerning the position of the Russians : Russian Line.

The German Ksses in killed and wounded in these gjerations have been enormous, and Rany thousand unwounded prisoners Rave fallen into the hands of the Russians. i Turning to t':e Dardanelles, Earl Kitchener said that the progress of |e allies was necessarily slow, since PKe country was more difficult. Pushing Turks Back. * "But the Turks are gradually being Jorced to retire from positions of great strength," he continued, "and, though tie enemy is being constantly reinLi forced, the news from this front is thoroughly satisfactory." B Earl Kitchener then referred to the V South African campaign and the occupation by Union of South Africa I forces of Windhoek, capital of German Southwest Africa. 1 . "The military ability displayed by 1 Gen. Botha has been of a very high orI j der," he said, in this connection, "and ' has confirmed the admiration felt for him as a commander and a leader of W men." W Indian soldiers were utterly routing the Turks in Mesopotamia, the secrej tary asserted, and were gradually ?-u-i. 4--,. 1 clearing cr.e wnoie couuii j vi uusmc forces. Unnres Recruiting. After referring in eulogistic terms tc ^ the men in che new army, Ear] Kitchener concluded: "I said I would let the country know B when more men were wanted for the war. The time has come and I now f call for 300,000 men to form new armies. Hr.ose who are engaged in the production of war material of any kind should not leave their work. It is tc I men who are not performing this dutj | that I appeal, and I am convinced the | manhood of England still available r will loyally respond." r Russian Black Sea Fleet Bnsy.

In reply we have received a number of interesting letters, all of them manifesting the conservatism which naturally belongs to the element in the community which has its touch upon the public pulse and is largely depended upon to assist in remedying public troubles. "Xo notable expansion of activities of any kind partaking of the nature of a 'boom' looms upon the horizon of these bankers. It is well Uhat such is not the case. In present circumstances such a manifestation would be the sure symptom of an unhealthy state.

PETROGRAD IS A WONDER. I City Built by Russia In Defiance of the Laws of Nature. It is an amazing monument to the despotism of tLie czars that Petrograd has flourished, as it was built, in defiance of the laws of trade and of nature herself. As a port it is immeasurably inferior to Uiga, which has a much longer open season, for Petro grad is icebound trom early .November to the end of April. As a building site it has been repeatedly and disastrously flooded by the Neva. The highest elevation within the bounds of the city is less than fifteen feet above sea level, and the cellars have to be baled out nearly every spring when the ice melts and the wind blows. And the rigorous climate constantly gnaws at walls and columns until the citj has been twice and thrice rebuilt by the czars. Many of the most imposing structures are held together only by means of iron clamps, and the huge bowlder on which Teter rides his bronze horse is ever crumbling away. Tho stonos of thp strppfs nro continual. ly sinking below the level, and the great Cathedral of St Isaac never ceases to settle on a foundation in which nearly $1,000,000 was sunk. No less than six tiers of piles were driven for the beautiful column of Alexander I., yet that eighty foot uionolith. the tallest and largest in Europe, has to be clamped in iron.
