Vigorous Night Attacks by Germans

Says.
London, June THE Times cores
pondent at British headquarters, des-
cribing the situation at Ypres, explains
| that the Canadian forces were unable
to retain their ground recaptured from
the Germans last Saturday owing to
the intensity of the German artillery
Ere.
"As soon as they had reoccupied the
trenches and killed or driven OFF the
enemy" the correspondent says, the
Canadians found themselves again un-
der the same terrific artillery fire as
had preceded the first enemy assault
on Friday. Everywhere the trenches
themselves were either demolished by
gunflre or heaped with dead. To hold
the positions won was impossible, for
the mere reason that no one there
could live.
1.-THE Germans are now in possession
of mile front to a depth in places OF
$50 wards back from the original Can
adian front line.
ct is considered. by competent
judges that the character OF the bonn
bardment here during the last two or
three days represents the high alter
mark thus far attained on the western
front. It has certainly been, and con-
tinues to be of the most terrific
severity. 1t has been so marked as to
create almost new phase in the war.
The scale on which guns and ammu-
milton were used is almost incredible.
"What ever the outcome of the pres
ent fighting may be, you may be pre-
pared to hear that the Canadian loss
es have been very heavy. AS compen-
sation for their losses the Canadians
have the satisfaction of knowing that
no troops could have shown finer gal
lantry. Their spirit is splendid"
Two attacks by the Germans on the
French lines between Fort VauX and
Damloup on the front northeast OF
Verdun were repulsed by the French
according to an official statement is
sued by the war office. The heavy
bombardment of Fort Vaux continues
with intermittent cannonading on the
west front.
The French still hold the main fort
and all approaches except the north
ern moat in which the Germans gain
ed lcdgment several days ago.
The Germans are now directing
their efforts toward bringing up mass.
es of reinforcements through the ra-
vines between Vaux and Damloup for
the purpose of gradually wearing down
the determined resistance of the
French. Although two infantry at
lacks were made yesterday, they lack
ed the intensity of the previous rush
es. The conclusion is drawn by French
commentators that the heavy recent
losses of the Germans are compelling
them to proceed less vigorously for
the moment while they are reforming
their scattered and decimated units.
The German war office in Berlin an
nounced that French troops on the
right bank of the Mouse last night
made four determined efforts to eject
the Germans from positions on Fumin
Ridge, and that all the attempts were
repulsed by the East Prussian regi-
ments with especially heavy losses to

Berlin, June IA profound sensa-
ton has been caused by the great
speech made before the Reichstag by
the chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, in which he declared that any
further suggestions of peace by Ger
many would be futile and evil.
His eloquent appeal to the nation
to hold on until victory was theirs
and the categorical defiance he hurled
at England were greeted with thun-
ders of applause. At the end of his
speech the chancellor received a tre-
mendous ovation, the cheering being
renewed again and again. All rites
joined in the ovation with t excep-
ton of the Conservatives an the So
cialists, who seeded with DR.. Lieb-
knecht.
The chancellor appeale. for the uni
ty of all parties, declaring that politi-
cal lines ought to be obliterated dur
ing the prosecution of the war.

COAL ROAD FACES PROSPERITY.
IOrce Sees BiG Fronts for CItnch-
neId Lnr.

In a report on tho Carolina, Cinch-

president Of the Delaware and hudson
Railroad. estimates that the road will
next year earn s6.4i5,o0o gross and 49,
495. 900 net. after taxes and expenses.
Much OF the prosperity OF the line Will
come from coal carrying.
The Goa production OF The United
States has in the past shown
growth" says Mr.. Loree. "As yet this
output seeks n local market. the pos
eibilities OF export. particularly to the
Mediterranean not having been exploited
up to the outbreak OF the present Eu-
ropean war. The war, however, is pre-
pairing the way for future heavy develop
ment In that field.
I'm recent years Chesapeake and Ohio
and Norfolk and Western Railroad have
shown very heavy increases In fuel tom
mage. Coal tonnage is perhaps as remit
nerative as any handled by the rail-
roads. In fifty ton cars loaded 10
per cent. beyond their (rated) capacity,
the car milo earnings nj 40 mills per
ton mile (the average rate now being
obtained by the Carolina. Clinchtleld and
Ohio) amount to $50 cents. The coal is
loaded by the shipper and the facilities
are provided by him.. II is unloaded by
the receiver. who also provides the IA
%cilitics.
The location Of the Carolina,
Clinchtcld and Ohio, wing partly Ia
the fact that there are few breaks IN
the Allegheny Mountain chain, is such
that the territory which II occupies Is
well protected from competition. The
enterprise therefore, rests on a sound
economic basis. Its success depends
simply upon the rapidity with which the
necessary tonnage can be secured"
