Robert P. Skinner will return to his
post in London indicates that the

While definite figures are not as yet
known, and perhaps never will be ex:
actly known, the fact its apparent that
slaughter OF men in Europe for the last
eleven months is enormous.
Even the numbers of men engaged are
not known. Neither army Of the many,
is willing to advertise its strength, nor
yet it's losses. but the extremely long

time probably nearly two thousand miles,

with prisoners taken also make bases
for calculation. y

WHEAT PRICES.

The wheat market has been on the to-
boggan slide for some weeks aud the
price IS now down near the dollar mark,
instead of Sl.51 as quoted one day some
time ago by the Pioneer Express. The
rise and fall of wheat prices during the
last war months have been largely a
. matter caprice and guess among the
speculators.
For time the demand for wheat from
Europe made the prices boom, but now
we are getting the reaction. First. a
large part Of that demand was in itsseli
speculative by the European buyers,
rather than for actual, immediate con.
sumption. Much of that wheat is pro.
bably still in the buyers hands. Second,
much Of the demand was by the govern.
ments themselves. They bought be-
cause they wanted to store of fear Of
blockades and also to hold in reserve te
keep down prices OF the spectators.
Most Of the European governments

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

All news of the week point to very
heavy fighting in all battle regions. The
German Austrian armies are within a
few miles, Of Lembegg and the Russians
are still retreating. but are fighting hard
as they they move backwards. Lem
berg was occupied blythe Germans on
Wednesday.
In the meantime. and perhaps in con-
sequence of the possible with drawals of
German troops to the eestern zone, the
French and English are pressing the
Germans hard along the French frontier
making slow progress an with probable
very heavy losses.
Reports from the Dardenelles also in
dicate a new and heavy movement of
land and sea forces against the Turks.
The Italians are slowly moving for.
ward id the Austrian territory with
fighting.
The German submarines are getting
more active and destroying considerable
British shipping.
Critical events are now in progress all
along the battle lines and the next few
weeks will probably make some consider
able charges in the situations, while
the casualty lists will be greater than
evera

facts above together, results are made
fof totals that are astounding. Up to
June 9th, II, O02 British officers we're re.
ported as killed, wounded and missing,
and of these 3 372 were killed. The Can
adian casualty list alone Of meu and off.
GERS totalled about 10000, as reported
Hast week.
A moderate estimate based on the FORE
going, makes the losses of the Teutonic
allies about three and half millions,
and that of ths French. English Belgium
allies about the same. Since these fig
|ures were made the great German. Aust
rian rush into Galicia has occurred and
very heavy fighting all along the French
Belgium frontier, so that at least seven
million men have been either killed,
wounded, or taken prisoners, IS about
ten months fighting, of which more than
half have been killed or permanently
crippled. Allowing for a million pri.
soners, then possibly two millions may
again return to the battle from the hos
pitfalls.
This is depicting manhood in Europe
very rapidly. So rapidly indeed we can
mot see how the war can be drawn out
to any great length Of time, at least in
IT'S present proportions. At the rate
they are killing of the soldiers, either the
war will have to stop soon for want oi
material in men, or else the battle lines
will have to be made very much shorter

The European debts which were counted

1t is evident that if the war in Europe
should be prolonged for another year at
the present rate and proportions, that
Europe would be almost entirely ex.
