The Turks have occupied the Per-
sian town of Tabriz. wliicli is ill the Russian sphere ol’ illtiueiicc, and are battling with the Russians iii the Caucasus and making preparations for the invasion of Egypt.

The battle, however, crelitillg the
greatest interest is ill the Aisnc Valley to thc north-east of Soissons, where the French have been attacking the German entrenchmelits. They suc- ceeded ln taking important positions Friday and `Sliiitla_v.

lil all these three institutions we
found everything in first-t-lass order. Tile apartments were scrllpulolisly clean anti well kept. anti apparently all possible efforts are made for the comfort of the illniatt-s. The qualityl of the food and thc mailller in which it was kept appeared especially good.
lil connection with the liosplial for
the insane we find flint the continu- ally increasing number of patleilts seriously overtaxes the present medical staff and we would strongly recommend in the best interests of the institution and for the safety and com- fort of the inmates. that an assistant medical otllcer be appointed.

LONDON. Jan. 13.-According to
French despatclles to the Lontlon morning papers fifty bombs were dropped on Dunkirk Sunday by aero- planes which were cruising over the town from eleven o'clock in the morn- ing until nearly four o'clock in the afternoon. They came front all directions, ami were niet by a heavy shrapnel fire. Two of the raiders were brought dowli, one outside the town and the other twenty-five miles away.
ln spite of the long ordeal the
populace tlisplayotl lio_ panic. The boiilbs int-.ilirlt»tl some of incendiary type, but littlc niaterial damage was tlollc. Six persons were killed at Dunkirk. anti the suburb of Malo. anti it is reported that several persons were killed at St Pol and Adinkerke. but this has not been confirmed. It appears that the absence ol' a large liiilnbor of French aeroplaiies from Dunkirk must have been known to the Germans.

too comfortable for violators of the lllw, :intl we would strongly urge that these violators be put to work where they may be of some use. rather than being fed at llie cxpenscof the Pro- vlllt-c.
We t-_ntiroly agree with your Lord-
siiip's rt-ft-rontrc io tho liquor trailit.-. lt is doplorablc to see the evidence both iii town and country of the awful ravages. No excuse can be given for its being permitted in our lllldst, as it brings nothing but desola- tion to its victims and their unfortun- lite families. many of whom at this season of the year are suffering from cold aiitl hunger. if witiiln our pro- vince, may we recommcild the press and every good mall and woman iii town and country, to greater activity in driving out this awful traffic.
