CANADA CALLED ON
 FOR MORE TROOPS
MEN HAVE BEEN IN TRAINING FOR SOME TIME AND ARE
 READY FOR SERVICE.

Ottawa, Ontario, April 10.-Lord Kitchener has called on Canada for a second expeditionary force.
 The news was given to parliament tonight by Premier Sir Robert Bor- den, who said that the ca1 had been expected for some time,
 Three months ago General Ktch- ener was informed that the force was ready in Canada to board troop ships and sail for Europe, Premier Borden said that since that time the war of flee had been kept fully Informed on its training and has, from time to time made suggestions which had been followed with absolute precision by the Canadian authorities, Now that the summons had come, the sec ond eXpeditionary force would go for ward at an unrevealed date in the near future to join the first eXpedi- Cionary campaign force now at the front. The Canadian second eNpedi- tiOnary force had not been summoned sooner flor reasons which commend ed themselves to the head of the war office and reasons which are gen. orally recognized"
 The premier noted that with an enormous number of men under train ing in Great Britain the task to pro vide accommodation and training for the various contingents from the overseas dominions was not an easy one. The announcement of Lord Kitchener's call was received with cheers from both parties in the house. Premier Borden followed it with a statement of the progress Canadian authorities have made in raising, arm ing training and despatching troops since the opening of the war. This showed that in the dominion and abroad on the pay roll of Canada 10l, ,560 men are earrings arms or per forming military service.
 officers and men numbering 35,420 have been despatched as the first Canadian eXpeditionary force and as endorsements for it, the premier stated.
 "SO far as at D resent can be fore. seen," said the premier, "a total num- Der of about 150,000 men will be re- quired should the war last another year. That is to say an original force of 50,000, plus 50,000 sent overseas for endorsements, plus 50,000 in Cauad;> under tralning."
 Two armored machine gun units are being mobilized, one at Toronto and one at Montreal. It has not been decided if they will accompany the second division abroad

selle we have retained all the ground gained and have made fresh progress. Between the Orne and the Mouse there have been no engagements.
 At Les Hparges the enemy has un- dertaken no action either with infan. try or artillery and the day passed quietly. The whole position is in our power and statements of prisoners emphasize the importance of our success.
 "The Germans since the end of Feb. ruary had in this part of the front the entire Twenty-third division of re- serves. Then, toward the end of Narch, when that division was eX hausted, the Tenth active division oi the Fifth army corps, composed of the best troops of their army, was brought up. It is this division which has just lost the yeritable fortress constructed on the spurs of Les Eparges.
 "Then troops had frequently been ordered to hold on at all costs; they were told that the position was of tAe greatest importance and their general said that in order to keep it he would sacrifice the division, or the army corps, or 100000 men if necessary.
 The losses suffered by the Ger mans at Les Eparges during the last two months amount tu 30,00O men.

WITNESS TELLS OF SUFFERING FOLLOWING STRIKE ON ILLl-
 NOls CENTRAL RAILROAD.
SIXTEEN SUICIDES RESULTED
Ninety-One Per Cent of the Men Had to Move and the Average Period of likeness occasioned by the Strike Was One Year.

Chicago, April 10.-The havoc that was wrought among the 30.000 shop men whose strike against the so- called Hartman lines in 1911 was lost, was sketched statlstically today before the United States commission on industrial relations
 The witness was Frank Comerford, for many years attorney for the men.
 Of one thousand men replying to questions four months after the strike, according to Mr. Comerford, 1S6 were single when the strike was called September 30, 1911. There were 1743 children, small number of which he thought might be traced to low wages and a subnormal scale of living.
 Forty-two per cent of the men owned their homes or were buying them. The strike cost 15 per cent of these their homes. and of the whole number 91 per cent moved from their lowly domiciles to even chealper quarters. Twelve per cent of the strikers had to sell their furniture and 10 per cent to seek charity. The average period of idleness occasioned by the strike was one year.
 The witness claimed NstAg he ha traced 16 cases of suicide to the strike and nine cases of insanity.
 This in brief, is an attempt to represent human values in dollars, 7 said Mir. Comerford.
 Portions of the testimony of MT. Comerford and of Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the board of the South ern Pacific, formed a symposium on the force of public opinion and the channels by which it is influenced.
 MT. Kruttschnitt expressed the view that public opinion settled nest strikes. and generally with correct verdict. He suggested need of a vehicle by which both sides of a labor controversy could be presented. to the public, remarking that suell an agency was available in Canada.
 Mr. Comerford stated that of 116 cases of strikers defended by himself 115 resulted in acquittals. mot lulOAEH any tltNti HtHS Ol U1luS, put on the merits of the cases. The ar rests appealed more to the news col. umns of the editors than the dis missals, however, and the fact that l15 of the men were innocent re- ceived far less publicity than the facts of their arrests. I do not at tempt to criticise the newspapers in this connection-it just happened that way" the witness continued. Yet public opinion was influenced against the strikers just in proportion as their arrests were more widely pub- lished than their acquittal. One page Of the metropolitan advertising which the railroads bought broadcast would take a years salary of a shopman. We believe in public opinion as Mir. Kruttschnitt does, but these facts speak for themselves"
 The hearing will be resumed Mon- day with MT. Comerford on the stand.

NEW YORK, June s.-The war has
stimulated the export OF surgical in

BILE, but that the demand for them In
foreign military hospitals was now
more active.
I'VE formerly obtained most of our
imported surgical supplies from Eng

Since the war began manufacturers
have increased their prices 20 per cent
Germany no longer can export any and
the British can do so only by obtain

TOSSED BACK BOMBS
HURLED BY GERMANS
British Soldier Alone in Captured
Trench Finally Escapes After
Nightfall.

LONDON, June S.-The exploit OF
British soldier, who lay in the crater
made by shell and hurled back at
the Germans bombs which they tossed
into the excavation to kill him, is re-
lated in a dispatch from the front,
under date of June 4, from the oHclal
observer attached to the British army
as given out in London.
after having got into German
trench and finding he was the only sur
vivor of his party, he managed to
crawl deep in a shell crater nearby,
the observer says. THE Germans
knew where he was. but could not
shoot him, and were prevented by our
rifle fire from approaching. They
therefore, contented themselves with
lobbing hand grenades into the crater
"All day long this British soldier re-
mained in the hole within few yards
of the enemy, picking up and hurting
back bombs with which he was pelted.
At night he managed to crawl safely
back to our lines"
Another incident described by the Of
fetal observer has to do with an Off
Ger and ten men. who. when the Ger
mans stormed and captured British
trenches near Ypres. refused to retire.
Surrounded by the Germans on all
sides, they stuck to their trench in the
hope of regaining the lost ground by
a counter attack. At nightfall they
withdrew, after holding the Germans
at bay throughout the day.

COAL PRODUCED IN 1914
IN VIRGINIA DECREASED
State Is Short 1858, ,Sss Tons Over the
Amount Mined the Prevt-
Gus Year.

The production Of coal in Virginia
in 1914 was 7,e59.535 short tons, valued
at $S,032,44s. This was S6s.533 tons
less than in 1913, with a decline in
value OF ss2o.205. yet the output was
greater than in any year previous to
1913, according to figures compiled by
c. E. Lesher. in cooperation. with the
Virginia geological survey. and just
made public by the United States geo
logical survey. The decrease in guam
tity was 9.s per cent and in value 1913
per cent, and is attributed to the
smaller demand from the iron busi-
ness for coke, as shown by the fact
that the decrease of coal made into
coke represents IS per cent Of the
total decrease for the state, and to the
smaller quantity needed to meet the
requirements of the railroads and cot

ginfa coal.
