Great Britain in consenting to relax her blockade order and permit the safe
passage of fifteen thousand tons of - iles must go without, but American dyestuffs from Germany to the United _' textiles are to be supplied by the cour-

source it is learned that the Pope's ap- peal to the Kaiser to discontinue sub- marine attacks on unarmed ships is likely to he slice-::=sful if the Allies alzree to ur.-3 submarilttl-i exclusively in regular naval warfare. Vatican circles are optimistic as the Austrian Empire is said to be seconding the Pope‘s efforts to overcome the Kal- ser’s opposition. The latter insisted that the Allies lift blockade but now it is reported they are less exacting.

ANOTHER IFURIOUS' ATTACKS
PARIS, May 22.-The battle of Ver-
dun. the longest and most bitterly contested individual struggle of the war, enters on its fourth month to-day The Germans, with characteristic stubborness and patience, are ham- mering at Dead Man's Hill where the most furious and bloody fighting of of three months conflict has taken place. Clinging desperately to the trenches that they have wrested from
taking Verdun, seems obvious. This blood-soaked summit and its sister olninence, Hill 304, from the key of the whole system of Vcrdull's de- fences. _
Tlle fire from tlloir batteries flanks
the Douaumollt plateau, across the river. Without the undisputed pos- session of tbls`plateau, military crit- ics agree that no attack on Verdun has ally chance of success.

Dear Friendz- I have today received
a parcel from you mailed to inc through the Grahame Road Wom\n’l; Institute, and it affords me much plea- sure to drop you a few lines in answer to same, and also to thank you and the Institute for your kind gifts at 'this glad Easter tide. I assure you that I am very grateful for those gifts and only do not know bow to thank you en Ollsh for sarne,as the. articles worl- very useful and well sollcted.
We boys out here are all very grate-

Your kind gifts and messages re-
ceived from time to time are always lvelcolreii by us all and they tend to keep up our spillls for at times ther-l are mucll to try cur patience.
We have many hardships to contend
with, but we seem to live through tbenl all, and all seem to be happy most ol the time. .
We have lots of hard work to do anrl
have to do it in wet weather. for l do not think there has been a wbolc monl_h’s fine weather since I came oll'_ here, with the exception of the month of Marcll it has rained about five day.: out of every seven. Some claim it I: due to so much firing causing lots o.'_ smoke. The first few days in April were fair hilt It has rained every da;-' for the last two weeks, and its rainlnl, heavy this evening but the figlltinl; goes on just the same. The fighting ha: been fierce at times and has been ro. ther severe since the middle of Febrl: ary, and as time goes on it become. more end' more severe. The greatest battle in history was foughtlust recerl tly and such gallantry was never bc fore shown as was shown at tha-t but tie. The enemy came on and on only to be mown down but as soon so one battxfell another stepped into. their places and hurled tbcmselvos“¢.gsinsl_ the Allied lines only to he torn to shreds by the most terrible machinp gun and artillery fire ever known.
