added, II am not sure that we realize the
strain upon that gallant country. She has
had a larger proportion of her men in the
field, and the enemy in occupation of the
richest part of her territory, nevertheless the
confidence of the F1ench nation strikes every
visitor to Paris. There is to be seen calm
and sincere courage, and one hears
the general assurance that the German army
has as much chance of crushing France
as of overrunning Mars" Each ally
would bring its resources into the COM
mon stock, as a continued war was not to
be made under limited liability principles,
The Paris Conference had dismissed the
idea OF a Joint lnterpational loan, which would
have frightened every bourse, and instead
each country would raise the money it need
ed within it's own territories as far RS con-
ditions allowed, and its help was needed for
purchases abroad, those who had the means
would help to the best of their power. The
only joint loan would be respecting advan-
ces to The smaller Allied states. Regarding
Russian purchases, it was decided that the
first fifty million pounds for this purpose
should be raised in equal amounts on the
Paris and London Markets.
A Russian loan Of ten million pounds has
been over subscribed Immediately upon be-
ing offered.
The Paris correspondent of the "Doily
Telegraph" states that nj, Golemykin,
President Of the Russian Council Of Min
listers, has been appointed President
Of the Council Of the Empire, vice the late
M. Akimov NJ Kreyosheyn, Minister Of Agri-
culture, succeeds NJ. Gortmykin.

A Seryian official bulletin announces: Large
numbers of Albanians broke through our
lines, crossing the frontier in the depart
ment Of Prisrend, and before the superior
forces of the enemy our troops as we'll as
the municipal authorities, were forced to
retreat and the Albanians continue to adj
vance in the direction Of Zapod, Topoliana
and Glayotchnitz. The enemy has sue

A despatch from Cettinje, Montenegro,
states that the Austrian fleet on Sunday
SORTED from the Gulf Of Cattaro and began
a bombardment of the port of Antivari.
The Montenegrin Royal Family were sub
iccted in their residence at Hiska to ma
chine gun fire from two Austrian aero
planes. Their Majestics and The Prineesses
watched the raiders from the Palace win
lows and several bullets from the aero
planes fell near them
Adyiccs from Copenhagen state that a
large shipment Of copper packed in casks
labelled sugar and put aboard the steam
ship "Cnnen" has been seized. It was
consigned to a German firm and the ship
pr and captain have been arrested. Dan
ish steamship owners are now busy paint
ing the national flag on all their ships
crossing the North Sea to English ports
and those en- foreign voyages. The design

mark, spelt in the Danish way, is also paint
ed on both sides amidships III huge letters.
When the steamer Perm" left Copenhagen
harbour there were -four Danish flags paint
ed on her sides and her name was daubed
all over her. It is impossible to imagine
how her nationality can be mistaken by
the German submarines whose captains
are familiar with all the Danish steamer.
The procedure of the Danish merchant
fleet will be followed this week by Norway
and Sweden. The idea was discussed at a
meeting Of the Scandinavian Shirowners'
Association, held at Gothenburg, Sweden,
and was approved and recommel Ged to
the other neutrals, especially the United
States.
Ottawa, Feb. 16th-The following Official
announcement has been made: "Clcunstan-

Mariners are notified that upon approach-
ing the shores Of Canada a sharp look out
should be kept for signals, which if dis
played, may be taken as an indication that
the port or locality should be approached

that Instructions exist. Three vertical

vertical white lights, flags, OF balls, in
dictate that the port is open. The ports
may be provided with examination steamers,
which viii carry the same signals as the
ports to Indicate closed OF open harbours.
Merchant vessels approaching the ports
are especially cautioned against mailing
use of private signals Of any description,
either at night OF by day, as the use Of
them viii render the vessel liable to be
fired upon. Halifax, Quebec, and Esqui-
mault are ports where special precautions
should be taken. At some points the Cam
adian Government vessels are sometimes
engaged in sweeping operations and mas
ters should look out for AaNoers connect
ing the sweeping vessels.
Upon receiving a telegram that two
aoroplanes were sighted proceeding to-
wards Ottawa, Sir Robert Borden notified
the COMMISSIONS of the Dom Mon Police
and the lights around Parliament building,
the Royal Mint and the residence Of the
GoveInor-Genera were Immediately extin-
Suished. Sharp shooters from the Domin.
ion Station were placed on Parliament Hill
and guards were held in readiness to repel
the aerial attack. 1t was certainly a false
alarm and it is suggested that 1t was a
practical joke by frework balloons from
the United States. Nevertheless the police
viii report the matter to the United States
Government.
New York, Feb. 16th-The rate Of ex-
change is almost unprecedentedly low. the
the partial explanation being that there is
no demand, because the imports are small.
Nhile there are large offerings, because
war orders are immense, possibly over
estimated at one billion dollars, including
fifty million dollars for powder alone.
The Mayor of New York has asked Pre-
sidcnt VI llaon to take notice Of the huge
