Canadians Lose Heavily.

OTTAWA, Ontario. June THE lat
est list of Canadian officers who
have fallen in the Sanctuary woods fight
brings the total up to $50 and advices at
the militia department say the number is
still far from complete. Though the exact
extent Of the losses among all ranks is
not known there is enough to Indicate
that IT will rank with the memorable St
Julien engagement and that the Canadian
people must be prepared for a heavy roll
OF casualties. Latest advices are that the
Canadians have been relieved
News OF heavy casualties has been
reared for some time, in fact ever since
the Canadians three months ago were
assigned to hold the tip of the Ypres
salient, which is looked upon as the
most hazardous point upon the British
line. Projecting into the German lines
the trenches the Canadians have held
for three months are exposed to enemy
hre from three points. The country is
so swampy that deep trenches and sa fe
underground shelters are made impos-
slble by water. In place of trenches
parapets must be substituted, and these
form poorer protection and better tar
gets There have been substantial
daily casualties since the Canadians

Fight of Ferocious Character.

Reports reaching the Canadian capital
indicate that the fight has been of the
most ferocious character. as it was linn
tied to mile of front. on which terri
BILE harvest of casualties was piled up
by gun blasts in two days-in fact, in
two hours.
The belief grows here that the presence
of two generals in this front trench might
have preciptated the drive. Gen. Mercer
and Gen. Williams had been in the ad-
vance trenches observing for some hours
before the storm of German gunf1re burst
made retirement impossible The adviceS
indicate that Gen. Williams was wounded
and captured. The fact that the Germans
report the capture of only one general
has created the fear that Gen. Mercer.
who was known to have been wounded.
may have been buried beneath the debris
