(From Our 0w;~,_ correspondent.) OTTAWA. May 18.--Parliament pro-
rogued at 4.30 this afternoon. It did so with little fuss or ceremony, Sir Charles Fitzpatrick as Deputy Gover- ner General officiating in the absence of H. R. H_ the Duke of Connaught, who is absent in lvloiitreal. _
There was no last minute flurry
in the Senate as has becii'the case at the close of the two preccedliig ses- sions, the upper chamber having iliiisli- ed its_work last wcck. The Commons had also disposed of practically every item on the sessioiiul programme which was fated to receive considera- tion and put in its time until the hour of prorogatioii discussing the report of the pensions coinniittee and licarlng a number' of suggestions for economy in government priiiting from the com- mittee which has considered this mat- ier_ Both reports were accepted, that of the pensions committee, which sug~ gests an upward revision in the rates to be paid in the lower ranks and which has not been embodied in the le- gislation this session for the reason that it is desired to allow the pensions board which the government will ap- point shortly to apply the test of prac- tical experience rirst. _
Hon. J. D. Hazen then moved that
the reeort of the special committee on pensions be approved. -
On the suggestion of Hon Wm_ Pugs- ley that no money could be appropria-| ted by the House except on the recom-| mendation of the Governor General- he changed the motion to read that the report “be commended to the con- sideration of the Government."
Mr. Hazen said that the committee
which was forme.l of members from both sides of the House had dealt only with the question of pensions for men enlisted in the expeditionary l`orce. The récoinmendation that the awarding-of pensions be entrusted to a board of three men appointed for ten years was intcnded to take the sub- ject out of the range of political iiitri- gue or influence. li‘or the same rea- son the committee had suggested that there should be no appeal from the decision ot' the board save that a dis- satisfied claimant had his case revised by the whole board. Pensions under ilic scheme proposed were not to be assigned, oonimuted or aiiticipateil_ Mi'. Hazen said that tin. old scale of pen- sions hnd been amended and a very substantial increaoc had been recom- mended for the lower ranks of the ser-‘ vice from privateii to Lieutenaiits. Above the rank of liieut. the scale re- mained unchanged except that an ad- ditional $10 was provided for Captains. lt had been felt that the rate of pen- sions for men in thc higher ranks was rather high but it was held that it would not be fair to the men who had enlisted when the old scale was in force to make reductions. Mr. Hazen said there had been much discussion in the committee as so wiiether or not a distinction should be made in the rates of pensions for the unmarried and married men_ The majority had held however that the single soldier had the right to marry on his return home and should be provided for ac- cordingly.

LONDON, May 18.-A Large number -
of British submarines are operatingI in the eastern and southern portions of the Baltic Sea which is now free. says a despatch to the Exchange Tele- graph Co_, from Copenhagen. it was one of these submarines that sunk the German steamer Hera. Last fall British submarines which made their way to the Baltic through the Skager- rack and Cattegat carried on a cani- paingn against the shipping between Scandinavia and German D0i‘iS- through Baltic waters. In especial theyl appear to have worked havoc with the ore trade between Scandinavia and Germany, sinking a number of ore ves- sels and, according to some reports, virtually paralysing the traillc for weekl because of the peril to the ship- ping., due to the presence of these crafts. Despatchcs from Scandiniiviiiti sources to British newspapers in Octo- ber isrecalled when German commercial trafllo was cleared from_ the Baltic DY British submarines. One list Dfillied contained the names of twenty German shipssunk during October. German. accounts however denied there was any stoppage in traillc as claimed by British sources, citing the movement of hundreds of ships from various Bal- tic ports during the period of the sub- marllie operations in these waters.»In an effort to prevent the entry 01 m0\‘°‘ submarines Germany. according i0 118-, ports has laid additional mines to _block

STOCKHOLM, May 1S»-German
Steamer Pera was sunk this morning oi'l` Landsort in the Baltic. The sinking of her niurks the first activity of Brit- ish submarines in the Baltic this sea- son. The Hera left Stockholm on Tues- day to take iron ore to Oxioesund car- rying a cargo of 2000 tons. Her captain was ordered on board the submarine with the ship‘s papers and made pris- oner. Sufficieiit time was given the
.crew to leave the ship. Although the
weather was rough all on board were saved. The report of submarine activ-
ity has stopped the giovement of numerous German vessel with cargoes of iron ore now at Oxioesund and other ports. The Hera was a vessel of a Sross tonnage of 4705. She was owned in Hamburg, was 379 feet long and built
in 1912.

PARIS,May 18-It is believed thai
the great Austrian offensive expected for some time has begun along the on tire italian front. No importance is at- tached here to the failing back of the Italien lines- as tlicy were not stroni: enough to resist the attack ou a larger* scale. The French military authoritie:-_ are satisfied that the Austrians arp

doomcd to failure no matter what their efforts.
APARTMENT H0
Chariottetown’s first apartment
_ house, with all the most up-to-date and useful means of shortening and ‘making easy the work of the lady with- out a maid-without a care as to how that precious coal pile has diminished -or whether the iuriiace ore will last till morning, not even a kitchen ilre to kindle-these will be a few of the many worries taken care of in a four family apartment house now belngbuilt in one of Charlotteton's most beautiful residential sections.
Mr. Charles Coles, an Island boy
who has spent some teii years iii the Canadian West and has had a chance to see all that is new and up to the mi- nute in the construction of present day homes is the arcliltect and building contractor for this splendid apartment which is being built for Mr. l. Y. Red- din at thc rear ol’ the two fine resi- dences which he built last year, at Brighton. , To describe in such a way as to do ‘justice to the arrangement and ilnish of these apartments before their com- pletion, is hard-but it is to be hoped that the public will have an oppor- tunity of judging for themselves by the middle of September next. A rough description of the building will suffice in the first place it will measure 75 feet in length by 40 _in width and thc, exterior finish will be of_whitc stucco. _

TO BRITISH CREW
LIVERPOOL. May 16.-Chief Officer

many nationalities. The chief oiiicer‘s boat was adrift for forty-five hours before its occupants were rescued by a patrol vessel.
