Great Advance Made-Britlsh

London, May 1S.-Seven separate
and distinct battles were fought in the
week just closed, and there can be lit
tie doubt that the days from Saturday
the Sth, until Friday, the 14th, will
rank among the most bloody in the
history OF western Europe, says the
correspondent of the Times. He adds:
Saturday night saw no lessening in
the intensity of the struggle. On the
Ypres front, although outnumbered
and in danger of being outflanked, our
men again and again hurled back Ger
man attacks. During the darkness the
Germans, as though aware that with
every passing hour their opportunity
was slipping away, continued to hurl
themselves against our line. Men who
lived through this night shot until
they could no longer hold their rifles.
The fury Of the assault was indescrib-
able. Dawn of Sunday showed in the
fields in front of Ypres the dead piled
like cornstalks at harvest time, Brit
ish and Germans lying side by side

WILL GROW CORN IN
IRRIGATION BLOCK

To encourage farmers of the Bias
sano district in the big Canadian
Pacific Irrigation Block to raise corn
for fodder purposes, a local bank is
supplying seed corn free to promi-
nent farmers who will undertake to
grow it during the coming year. Ow-
ing to the warm, dry climate pre-
vailing in many parts of the Irriga-
ton Block, which makes the growth
more rapid than in some of the more
humid districts of Western Canada,
it is believed that the raising of
corn can perhaps be developed to a
point not yet accomplished in other
parts of the country. The district
has already established it's ability to
raise the finest crops of alfalfa, and
its success is assured as a livestock
and dairying community.

UIterior Motives Charged.

secretary MCAuOO IN his dllludNlJ
makes this counter charge:
81 charge and aver the fact to be
that my inclusion in the suit is due
to Interior and improper motives and
resorted to solely for the purpose of
thereby uttering and publishing gross
ly false and libelous statements un-
der the privilege and protection of ju-
dicial forms and free from the legal
accountability that would otherwise
be involved"
Mr.. Williams in his sworn state
ment says examinations of the Riggs
bank by his office disclosed violations
of the national bank act, that it was
not so much q commercial bank as
one which lent much money on stock
collateral which was used in specula-
tive ventures; that some of it's offic-
ments under oath; dummy loans some
times were made, the proceeds of
which went to the officers; that some
officers were engaged in real estate
transactions, and that other things
were done beyond it's powers.
ODeyeu LAW Gays 6urk.
John Burk, treasurer of the United
States, the third defendant submitted
an affidavit relating to the retention
by him of $4,000 interest on govern
ment bonds of the Riggs bank, de-
posted with the treasury to secure
its note circulation. Mr.. Burk said
he acted in accordance with law.
A number of tables and other sta
tistics and data were submitted with
the answers. One gives a list of loans
by the bank to former secretaries OF
the treasury, assistant secretaries, a
former comptroller of the currency
and national bank examiners. The
names of Leslie M. Shaw, William
B. Ridgeley, L. A Coolidge and others
appear in the list.
Secretary McAdoo said in his an
swer that he has nothing to do with
the penalties assessed by Comptroller
Williams, which the bank seeks to en-
join, and that he knows of only two
reasons which might cause the banl
to be hostile to him. One was tha
he refused one of it's agents a desl
in the comptroller's office and the
other was that he charged interes
on government deposits. He with
drew government funds, he says, be
cause he believed they should be in

Reports to the weather bureau told

So far as the controversy between
Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr.. Walsh, over
the responsibility for the Colorado coal
strike is concerned, the public is not
so vitality interested as it is in arriv-
ing at some basis for the handling of
differences between capital and labor
whereby an end may be put to these
outbreaks which entail loss of money
and property on the one hand and
needless misery and suffering on the
other. The hope of securing a cor
receive through the medium of COM
pulsory arbitration has not proven as
well founded as could be desired.
There can be no question that the gov
eminent would be justified in taking
radical measures in this connection.
Certainly it would be better policy
to intervene at the outset than to be
called upon to use the military forces
of the nation for the suppression of
violence, after great sacrifice and loss
had been entailed, but the most graft
flying evidence of progress are shown
in the tendency of employers and EN-
ployees to regard their relations from
more intelligent standpoint. Coop
Grafton in the conduct of industrial
avocations is making promising
strides. With an equitable division Of
profits and an accepted mutually o.
interests, enterprises will raise up {
strong force in contributing to theii
success. Labor will have a larger in
centive to achieve greater efficienc.
and the most pregnant source of fric
! ton will be eliminated.

London.-Several thousand subjects

cred not to leave their homes be-

answer to the injunction suit brought
by the Riggs National bank charging

actions, which were set forth as
ground for the banks charge. were
taken in the exercise of proper discre-
