ZILLEBEKE ONE OF THE RED MILESTONES IN CANADA'S PATH OF GLORY Dominion Troops Stemmed the Tide of Advance Ajjainst Ypres* and ( aliiis During Two Weelis of June, IDKi, Adding l''resh Lustre to Their Immortal Uenown. Tho Battle of Zillcboke opened on June 2, r."16, anil really continued un- til Juno 13. The Zillebeke Hector is situated two nillos due east of Ypros, on a front of two miles from Hill 60 to the ui'iier edge of Sanctuary Wood and Hoodge on Meiiln Hoad. At the time tlie (Canadians were occupying the southeastern portion of the Ypres salient. The Urltlsh were massing troops for the Soniiue olfeiislvo and the Yprts salient was practically stripped of forces. The Canadians were at a great disadvantage. There was no air service. There was little artillery and only a thin line of in- fantry, Tliera were no series of sup- port and reserve trenches, owing to the nature of the ground, while the Germans had even the advantage of position, being on high ground, while the Canadians occupied the low. The Zillebeke sector was defended by the 3rd Canadian division, under the command of General Mercer, with the Tth and 8th Hrigades in the line. The front line trenches were occupied by the 2nd and 4th Mounted Rifles at the lower end near Hill 60, and Mount Sorrel. The Princess Patricias, two companies of which were largely made up of University men from To- ronto, Montreal and the West, occu- pied the upper part of Sanctuary Wood. A Terrific Bombardment. At 6 o'clock on the morning of the 2nd. General .Mercer, accompanied by Brigadier-General Victor Williams, be- gan inspecting tlie trenches occupied by the Mounted Rifles. Unknown to the Canadians, the Germans had for several days been filling their trench- es with trench mortars as preparation for a surprise attack which they pur- posed launching on this day. At 8.45 they suddenly oiiened a terrific bora- banln>ent of the Canadian trenches. For tour hours they kept it up. They destroyed emplacements and devasta- ted entrenchments. The Mounted Itilies were blown out of their trench- es and fell back. The right flank of the Patricias was left In the air. General Mercer was kiUoil and Gener- al Williams wounded, later taken pris- oner. A mine exploded at the "Loop" destroyed the right company of the Patricias, but still Captain Niven's Company on the left hung on. CJaptain Nlven was wounded, and No. 7 Pla- toon, with Its commander, Lieut. Ha- garty, was wiped out. Checked German Advance. To the Germans it appeared that no mortal being could live through the terrific hall of lead and iron. At 12.45 the bombardment suddenly ceased and the enemy, conlidcnt of an easy vic- tory, came over, but he had not taken into consideration the indomitable Canadian valor. A remnant of the Princeas Pats still remained alive, and these, under the command of Lieut. Molson, subjected the enemy to a blasting enfilade as he passed on the right to the rear. Attempts were made to reinforce the Canadians. Colonel Buller was killed as he was leading up supports and Major Gault was wounded. The remnant in the front line hung on all night, though surrounded. On the following morning at day- break, a counter-attack failed. The 15th Highlanders were badly cut up and Lieut. Maurice Malone was killed while leading his company. The Pats hung on tenaciously until Sunday, the 4th, when they were ordered to the rear, having been relieved by the 42nd Highlanders. It was a pitiful rem- nant that mustered to roll call. Though they had paid a great price they had achieved a momentous vic- tory. It was tlie dogged heroism of the Princess Patricias that balked the â-  Germans from a straight walk into I Ypres and on to Calais. The fighting continued on the Zille- beke sector until Juno 13, when a counter-attack drove the Germans back, except from the edge of Sanc- tuary Woods and Hoogu. The Cana- dians suffered 14,00U casualties during the two weeks. Markets of the World to I{rcad.^tuf^s.

Names never die in the British navy. It is one of the characteristics of that noble service that its ships wear the same names, generation after generation. Names of both men and ships link the glories of the past to the greatness of the present by an endless chain of com- memorating valiant actions. German ship names emblazon the fame of tinhorn generals or tin- horn victories, or tinhorn institu- tions, as "Kaiser," "Scharnhor.-it" and "Gncisennu" â€" or more geograph- ical accidents as ''Loipzig" or "Em- den" â€" or pet pups, such as "Pom- mern" or "Prinz Eitul Friedrich"â€" or headache powders, as '"Seydlitz." British navy names commemorate glorious ships and gallant men, the sea-gotlmothers and sea-godfathers of ships an(t men destined in their turn Jo pass on deathless names that will inspire other men in other ships to deathless deeds. There is romance, adventure, in- spiration, allegory and centuries of history in the one hundred and fifty names mentioned by Admiral Jellicoe in his account of the Grand Fleet at the world's greatest sea fightâ€" the Battle of .Jutland, May 31, 1916. "Indomitable," "Fearless," "In- flexible." "Invincible," "Valiant" â€" • they might have been taken from the pages of the Holy War or Pilgrim's Progress. butchers' cows, choice, $12 to $13; do, good, $10.50 to $11..50; do, medium, $9.25 to $10; do, com., $8 to $8.i)0; stockers, $8.75 to $12; feeders, $12.50 to $14; canners and cutters, $4.50 to $6.50; milkers, good to choice, $90 to $150; do, com. and med., $65 to $75; springers, $90 to $160; light ewes, $13 to $15; yearlings, $12 to $14; choiice lambs, $18.50 to $20; spring lambs, $12 to $15; calves, good to choice, $14 to $10; hogs, fed and wat- ered. $22.50 to $22.85; do, weighed off cars, $22.76 to $2.3.15; do, f.o.b., $21.50 to $21.85. Names of Glorious Memory. Every name of the hundred and fifty-one names may well be writ- ten in letters of gold in the tablets of memory by every Briton, from the mine-layer "Abdiel." which toiled all night sowing a mine field to cut off the German retreat, to the "War- rior," whose crew were saved from destruction by the wild circles of the helmless "Warspite." "Iron Duke" â€" she was Jellicoe's flagship; "Lion" â€" that was Vice-Ad- miral Beatty's; "Conqueror," "Thun- dered," "Vanguard"- -names of cour- age and power; "Temeraire" and "Bcllerophon" â€" recalling Nelson's glory and Napoleon's finish â€" they were all there, at Jutland; and seven score others, big and little, many of them smacking even of the forbidden pages of the dime novel â€" "Morning Star," "Mindful," "M;iiisman," "Mis- chief," "Attack." Yes. and little "Mary Rose" was there, later on, going down with flag flying, fighting against hopeless odds while she sav- ed her North Sea convoy. The genius and destiny of the greatest naval nation the world has ever seen ensure that the names of great naval heroes shall reappear from generation to generation in the chronicles of maritime glory; and a wholesome regard on the part of the .\dm,iralty for the great helpfulness of Tradition makes it certain that the names of equally gallant ships shall never fade from the face of the â- waters, no matter what the fate of the individual wearer of the name. "Revenge" True to Its Reputation. Thus, Sir Richard Grenville fought the Spaniards in the "Re- venge," one to fifty-three, off the Azores, three hundred and twenty odd years ago. A "Revenge" fought and sailed in Nelson's fleets. And a "Revenge" rammed a submarine lin the battle of Jutland, and received Vice-Admiral Sir Cecil Burney's flag when he quitted the damaged "Marl- borough." The "Canada" was one of Rodney's ships in the "Battle of the Saints," in the West Indies, 1782. The "Can- ada" fought the "Ville de Paris" two hours, broadside to broadside, in Rod- ney's victory. A "Canada" was also in the Battle of Jutland- fi>urth ship in the third division of the battle fleet. A "Sir Francis Drake" led the van in the Battle of the Saints for Rod- ney in 1782, even as the original Sir Francis harried the Armada two hundred years before. The little destroyed "Ardent," in the Jutland battle, torpedoed the huge German "Pommern." "The flottila was again in action ^ little later with some enemy battle- ships," writes Aiimiral Jellicoe, "and the 'Ardent' attacked and fired a torpedo, but the result could not be observed, as a very heavy fire was concentrated on the 'Ardent,' which sank with colors flying after a most gallant night's work. It is sad to record that Lieut. -Commander Mars- den and one man were the only sur- vivors; they were picked up by a des- troyer on June 1st, after having been five hours in the water." The original "Ardent" was a cap- tive from the French â€" one of Rod- ney's prizes in the Battle of the Saints, and the only one to get home. The others, including the gorgeous UO-gun "Ville de Paris," were lost in hurricanes on fheir way to England. .\dmiral Jellic"oe's book thus re- cords the last four minutes of a good man and a good ship, both bearing, at Jutland, seagoing names famous since the ei.ghteenth century: Captured from the Frent-h. "Rear Admiral Hood (the Hon. Horace L. A. Hood, C.B., M.V.O., D. S.O.), who was on the bridge of the "Invincible" with Capt. Cay, hailed Commander Dannreuther, the gun- nery officer in the fore control, at about 6.30 p.m., saying, 'Your firing is very good. Keep at it as quickly as you can. Every shot is telling.' At about 6.34 p.m. the 'Invincible,' which had already been hit more than once by heavy shells without appreci- able damage, was .<;truck in 'Q' turret. The shell apparently burst inside the turret, as Commander Dannreuther saw the roof blown oif. A very heavy explosion followed immediate- ly, evidently caused by the magazine blowing up, and the ship broke in â€" â-  ttt;^ half, and sank at once, only ivrj of- fVcers, includng Commander Dann- reuther, and four men being subse- quently picked up by the destroyer Badger." The "SpitfiroV Feat. The "Invincible" was a seventy- four in A.dmiral Harvey's fleet that captured Trinidad and destroyed the Spanish fleet in 1797. Ad-riral Lord Satr\ue: Hood captured the anchorage of Ilasstcrre, St. Kitts, in the West Iniiss from th'. French Ad- miral De Gra:=sc in 173'2. It was hu cousin, of the same name, who was Commodore of the British fleet in the Caribbean in 1804, and added to the navy that quaint "sloop of stone," still known as "H.M.S. Diamond Rock"â€" an islet which he seized and fortified, and with which, as from a blockading ship, he muzzled the French in Martinique for eighteer months. There was the "Spitfire," too. What might be expected of a de stroyer St her name? Nothing but what happened. At midnight enemy cruisers fell in with the fourth destroyer flotilla, opening a heavy fire. The destroyers wer« outgunned, but undaunted. They at- tacked at once. The "Tipperary" leading, was cr'ppled and set ablaze; the "Broke," unmanageable, rammed her consort, the '-Sparrowhawk," and wrecked her; but the "Spitfire," pull- ing out of the smoke and flame of th« '"Tipperary," torpedoed one four- funnelled Germ.".n ship, and having no room to turn, bumped into a Ger- man light cruiser, scraping alongsidl and tearing off 29 feet of the ski* plating of tKeJ-Iun to take home aj a souvenir. TURKEY TO BE DISMEMBERED Allies Who Are Unsatisfied With Other Arrangements Each to Have Slice. A despatch from Paris says: â€" What- ever doubt existed as to the disposi- tion of the onco mighty empire, Tur- key. was dissipated on Wednesday af- ternoon when the conclusion was finally reached to begin a dismem- berment process of distributing choice bits among the allies who have been disaffected by their treatment on other subjects. Turkey Is to be a sort of universal sop. Britain's insistence that Constan- tinople shall remain Islamic is likely to result in her receiving a mandate possibly in conjunction with France and Italy, supervised by u League of Nations commission. .-Vnother of tha latest suggestions concerning Con- stantinople is that It should be cons- tituted an indopendc!it state with a residence for the S-iltan, who would retain his spiritual and temporal power.

DECREASE OF $29,214,400 IN TOTAL Al'RIL TRADU A despatch from Ottawa says:â€" Trade figures for the first month of the new fiscal year shov/ a decreasa of $29,244,40a in the total c: Cana- d'un trade as compared v/ith April, 1918. The total for !-'?t month was $121,527,952, as compare-! wil'h $150,- 772,355 in April, 1918. The decrease was chiefly in the total value of mer- chandise imported, which declined $24,368,720, as compared with., last year's figures for April. The total value of imports was as follows:â€" April, 1919. $51,255,219; April, 1918, $78,623,939. A decline of $o,672,493 in the total value of domestic mer- chand,ise exported is phown by tha figures. In .'\pril, 1918, ' the total value of domestic merchandise ex- ported was $71,161,652, while lasf month it was $84,459,159. CLYDE SHIPIUHLDERS TO EMIGRATE TO AMERICA A despatch from London says: â€" • A despatch to the Times from Glas- gow says that the shipfi'ng compan-^ ies of the Clyde are deluged with en- quiries indicating that there will be a great exodus of emigrants from Scotland to North America immedi- ately when transportation facilities are available.
