IN HONUUR, 0F THE 105th

_' ._...._..l_.. ',

As announcements of the movements of "troops

from one province to another or for overseas are stric- ly and very properly prohibited by the Chief Press Censor, the timc`of departure of the 105th Battalion for Valeartier will not be made public thrdugh the press. It is quite within the mark, however, to say that they will be leaving shortly. Tile wliole,','Battalion will be moblized in Charlottetown. The Sburis and Georgetown contingents under command of Captain Hardyand Captain Dawson, respectively, will arrive this moryiing and thc Suninierside contingent tomorrow morning under command of .\‘lajor` Inman.

This afternoon a celebration will be held in honour

of the oiiicers and men on Victoria Park when music, speeches _and a general social time will be enjoyed, when friendships will be strengthened and sincere good wishes for their safe return and hearty congratulations for their splendid sacrifices will be expressed to the boys. It is hoped these fe\v hours on the Park this afternoon will be such as both the soldiers and citi- zens wiil be able to look back upon either from the battlefields or from the homes with pleasant memo- ries. '

'I`omorro\\' General Benson, G. O. C., of the Sixth

Division, who is expected to arrive this evening with his staff, will inspect the Battalion on Victoria Park.

The Battalion will not leave here on Sunday as

impriidentiy announced by some of our City papers yesterday and it is hoped that henceforth such an- nouncements will not be made as all Canadian news- papers arc strictly forbidden to publish anything re- garding such movements.

THE WAR

Our despatches today, meagre as to details, clearly

indicate that our Canadian troops now under fire, are

proving worthy successors to those who fought, and many of whom fell, in the famous Battle of Yprcs. The battle nowiin progress between Hooge and l"Iill 60 is one of the fiercest in which the llritish have been engaged since the war began. There are many Cana- dian regiments engaged and necessarily their casual- ties have been many. They stood their ground like heroes, held the lines entrusted to them and rolled back wave after wave of Germans who, in a suicidal effort to make some gain at any cost of life even to them- selves, broke on this solid Canadian rock. Finding it impossible to break the Canadian line they have shifted their attack to the lilies held by the llritish. This rock also will break them and thc slaughter will pro- bably continuc some days yet. It is the dcspairing at- tempt of a baffled and beaten enemy. They are being

like rats in a trap-a large trap it is true and with many opportunities for mischief-~bu_t they themseives_ realize that the end cannot be far off.

THE CUASTING TRADE

' \\'e publish elsewhere in this issue a letter from- two well known coasting captains in which the griev- ances under' which our -vessel own_ers_ and captains suffer are well set_ forth. _The conditions governing this important branch of our commercial and industrial life has now reached a point where either one of two things must be done, namely, to provide a remedy or give up our schooner coasting trade. The former course should not be an impossible one; the latter would be a calamity not only t~ those whose money is tied up in coasting vessels but to those who depend upon our coasting vessels for their coal and also for the transportation of mucii of their produce. The lat- ter class isa very large one, the number of people wiio use coal in this province is increasing yearly and it is not necessary' to add that the price of coal is also in- creasing at an' alarming rate, so much so that if it goes any higher some other fuel must be provided. The increase in the price of coal is not on account of any advance in the freights paid to coastingscliooners as, notwithstanding their many handicaps, they receive but little more than they did when given reasonable despatch at the coal berths. The fact that they are being gradually driven out of the business,however,has much to do with it and it will be increasingly so as the fleet of coasters becomes smaller year by year-that is if it is going to be allowed to grow smaller.

/Those interested in this very important question

are asking for a Royal Commission to take up the whole matter with a view to placing the facts before the government and so securing such a remedy as may be agreed upon. This appears to be the most reason- able proposition in sight. Such a Commission would be in a position to take the sworn evidenceof those interested, to investigate all their grievances, to take evidence also from the coal companies and dealers. This information procured, the government would be able to deal with a situation that at present appears to be not only ini-British but detrimental to the best in- terests of the Maritime Provinces especially and of Canada as a whole.

To build or otherwise secure any more vessels un-

der present conditions it would be absurd to expect. Those who own vessels would gladly get clear of them rather than run them as a losing speculation and as things are at present coasting, subject to a delay oi' several weeks in a round trip that should be made in three or four days. is certainly not an attractive busi- ness. -t. _

\\'ith reasonable encouragem'ent_ ship building, once

one of our greatest industries couldbe revived within a year or tivo. We are informed by those in a position to know that there is abundance of lumber in this pro- vince to maintain a shipbuilding business for many years to come. The employment-such a business would give not only to our men but to our saw mills alone

ground to dust under the Russian steam roller whose' would mean a veritable revolution, while the general

new of°fensi\'e has begun nlost aiispiciously and which threatens thc Central Allies more seriously than any movement yet made. On the Western front the posi- tions are so entrenclicd as to form almost a deadlock

between the opposing armies. It is not so onthe east- doubt the government will grant. It is hoped tllati

ern front or rather fronts. Here the Russians are no time will be lost as the need is pressing and e\'c`l‘y` moving on a 250 mile front, nlo'~ing steadily, nninter- day's delay only adds to thciloss sustained not by vels`-' ruptcdly, relentlessly. The capture of 40,000 prisoners sel owners alone but by people generally.

LONDON, June 6.-The morning

papers. with fuller details available on the great naval battle, show no tinge of pessimism. Tho Morning Pont calls the iight “ii victory so mome-ntuous that the results may prove the turning point of the war."

The Telegraph thus sums up its

account:

"immense forces of the second

greatest naval power in the world have linen driven to port. as before some furious storm of vengeance.

“Though the British fleet was do-

privcd by »efrcumstances of the com- plete vietory upon which it had set its heart, Wednosdny'5 action has com-

pletely changed the naval outlook in every sea and ocean hi the world."

The Graphic says: . "At the first real trial of_ strongtli.

the British navy has achieved ii glor- ious victory; only robbed of its full fruit by tho enemy's flight.”

The Daily News’ view is that the

tight serves “to confirm the conviction that the German fleet is determined to refuse to como to action on equal terms."

Several editorials lament thc mis-

leading wording of the Admirnity's first announcement. The Morning Post typifles this point of view ln saying:

“The announcement was unfor-

tunate, as the people drew the conclu- sion that the government was hinting at defeat, lnst.oad,`as was the fact, discreetly conveying the news of 5 magnificent success. The navy won |- great victory. and the Admiralty an- nounced it like ii defeat."
