PARIS, March 16.-Vast French and
British armies arc about to begin a general offensive. The forward order will be given as soon as the fields dry and artillery can be moved over them.
The French have assembled quanti-
ties of munitions so that e, vigorous of- _fensive can be carried on for two or three months. It is said the French artillery has in store 25,000,000 shells. A long rapid pursuit could not be sus- tained with the railways torn up with- out adequate auto transports for this reason the French and British have gathered tens of thousands of automo- bile trucks. British troops now on this side of the Channel are said to num- ber 'I50,000. They have been reported to have been coming over during re- cent weeks at the rate of one or two army corps a week. Some weeks 100,000 men crossed the channel. Gen. Joffre is reported to have asked that thc number of beds ill hospitals in Paris be doubled in preparation i'or the forward movement.

The cruiser is said to have been hit by three shells, there being a number of casualties among the crew.

Just; how the Liberals will accept
this proposal remains to be seen. A Liberal caucus was held today, and it was decided that the session as far as they were concerned will not be unduly prolonged. While they do not expect to be able to finish by Easter in view of the boot inquiry and the pub- lic accounts committee, yet they are predicting that the House will be able to prorogue shortly after the Easter adjournment. _ The development of to-day and the lighting speeches of Premier Borden. R. B. Bennett and Hon. Arthur Mei- ghen have rather changed the situa- tion. Tile Liberals are a little uncer- tain as to where they do stand or as to what attitude to assume. Another Liberal caucus will likely be called.

OTTAWA, March 10.-The first coll-
troversial speech he has made since the outbreak of war was delivered by Sir Robert Borden to-day in closing the budget debate. The action of the Liberals in challenging at the present time the Government’s policy, in forc- ing an issue upon a domestic problem and in dividing parliament at the pre- sent crisls had evidently aroused the Premier. Seldom has the House heard him speak with such ilre and vigor. It was what ill parliamentary pariance is called a "fighting" speech. The belligerent attitude of the Chief, his spirit, his quickness at repartee and his hard hitting delighted bis tol- Iowers and he was cheered to the echo again and again by the Conservative benches. -
"My right honorable friend," declar-
ed the Premier in closing, “has chosen the moment to open iire with is vote of want of confidence and to raise is- sues of a purely partisan and contro- versial character. I desire to inform him that .we do not shrink from his citiclsm or from the issues which he raises. Conscious as we are that. con- fronted by the most tremendous re- sponsibility ever imposed upon the shoulders of Canadian public men, we have striven in the psst and will strive in the future to do our duty to
this _Dominion and to the British Em- p re. ‘
As the Premier sat down with this
perorstion winding up one of the most
giirited speeches he ever made in the
ouse. he was given sn_ovation by his supporters and it was several min- utes before the cheering subsided.
Sir Robert was perhaps at his best

personally the fact that his stand on the naval quostlon had received the approbation of Germany. The Conser- vatlve leader resented the imputation that in changing the British prefer- ence they were disioyal and had as- sisted the German cause. "My right Hon. friend,” declared Sir Robert, "has put forward to the House and _the country the idea that the poposals ‘of the Finance Minister were of Ger- 'nlan conception. Since he has invit- ed comparisons of that kind I can tell him that the only proposals put for- ward in this parliament which ever re- ceived enthusiastic and whole-hearted support of the German Government and the German people were the pro- posals that he himself put forward two years ago and I have the evidence under my hand to show it. Since he has invited consideration of Ger- many’s approbstion I have the evi- dence under my hsnd, taken from one of the greatest newspapers of Ger- many, the Hambruger Nachrichten."
This quotation showed that this
great German paper concluded that England could not depend upon her colonies for aid and that the solidarity of the Empire was at best but is myth.
In replying to the iiscal arguments
of Sir Wilfrid Laurier the Premier outlined the policy of the Conserva- tives and probably that policy has ,never been so clearly and so succinctly defined.
"Whst has been the theory of pro-
tection upon which tbe' Liberal Con- servative policy has proceeded in this country?" asked the Premier. "lt is that our rsw material in Canada, plus
our labor, is oqusl to the finished pro-

Mayor Stems presiding, to take int consideration the matter of meat and milk inspection, as was asked for by a delegation of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society, which, represented by Dr W. J. McMillan, Canoll Simpson and Mr T. C. James, waited upon the City Council at its last meeting two weeks ago. The Health Oiiicer, Dr H. D. Johnson, and the Recorder, Stiperllli- ary K. J. Martin, were present at the meeting last night, alld there was a large attendance of butchers, milk- men and others interested in the sub- ject.
His Worship having explained the
purpose of the meeting, Councillor Riley stated that there had been all agitation in the city for quite a long time for milk and meat inspection. As Dr Johnson had explained at the last meeting of the City Council, the milk in Charlottetown was fairly good and the sale of it was fairly under control. It might. bc possible that matters ill that connection might be nlade more perfect. Ill regard to meat, he said that the Council had not' yet done anything, and it was for the purpose of hearing the views of the butchers and nlilkmen on thc sub- jejct that those present had been invited. It must not be forgotten, he added, that there had been a lot of money expended on plants for slatlglltering cattle in the city by gentlemen wllo had been in the busi- ness for many years. and ally action taken by the Board oi' licnltll would have to be such as would meet. thc

o
question was a large one that needed to be gone into very carefully. It was no use for the City Council and the Board of Health to _say they would do this or do that unless they were pre- pared to put their resolutions into practice.
At the request of the Mayor, Mr
Blake then addressed the Board. They had been in the meat business, he said -speaking personally for himself and some of the other butuchers tbel-e< for over sixty y.:1rs_ if he said sixty- iive years hc would be telling the truth. He thought his firm was one of the oldest in the Island, and he was yet to hear of one complaint from any of his customers of bad meat of any kind. He challenged contradiction by ally ol the members or any other per- son. I~Ié thought he could safely say the some for Mr Saunders, Mr Stephen Brown, Mr Gay and everyone else they were associated with in the market. lie had never yet heard is complaint. There was meat inspec- tioll ill Sumnlerside, but inspection would be diiiicult to carry out in Charlottetown, situated as it was. Charlottetown was not situated like large cities where they had tremen- dous plants and where the stockwere all brought in alive. with all facilities for llandlillg, killing, inspecting and everything else connected therewith. There were it great many people all over this county interested in the busi- ness, and he would like to know how the Council could take Ilold of the question and adjust it satisfactorily.

The meeting in Zion Church liall
last night was the best of the series showing that the interest is not in the least abated. Mr. Sidney Bonnell pre- sided, for it was Young Peoplc’s night, and Mr. Angus Gillis gave the ad- dress. The hail was filled to its ut- most.
Mr. Bonnell in opening gave some
instances of the power of prayer and after singing a hymn or two illustrat- ing the power of prayer tho meeting was led in intercession by four young men, Messrs. Leith Webster, Angus Martin, Edgar Mc1nnls,' Miller Camp- bell.
Mr. Gillis in his address took the
text in Matt 27 : 22 “What shall I do then, with Jesus?" The subject was -“A Call to Decision." He gave Pilate as an example of the mall who pursu- ing his own aims and ignoring God is --suddenly brought face to face with Jesus Christ in a crisis from which there can be no discharge.
Pilate may banter with the multi-
tude or he may send Jesus away to Herod, he may declare that Ile finds no fault in Him and will thcreforo ict Him go. None of these things will free him from this dilonlma; he must make a- personal decision for or against Jesus.
