ous battle begun by the German at- tack on the allied front around Ypres in the Plains of Flanders continues and England like the rest of Europe

t is awaiting the outcome with undis-

guised anxiety. Even the news that the allied fleet and army commenced an attack on the Dardauelles and that troops are advancing against Turkish entrenchments which few days ago would have aroused enthusiasm has received only passing attention in the face of the stakes in the balance in the battle being fought across the English Channel.

While the majority oi’ those capable

of forming an opinion believe that the Germans by the stroke they delivered against the British. French and Bel- gians are once again aiming at Dun- kirk nnd Calais, there are others who believe it only a feint in force to draw the Allies’ reserves while preparations are being made for an attack at some other part along the line.. Whatever the intentions of the Germans were they certainly made a successful coup which, while it did not break did dinge the Allies' lines. The Canadians who _were holding the British portion of the lines were the first to recover themselves and in a counter attack, the praises oi' which are ringing throughout the Empire, recaptured the ground they had been compelled to give up and since then with their comrades have successfully withstood all German assaults.

The French and Belglans who re-

ceived the blast in fuller force and were driven back across the canal be- tween Boesinghe and Steenatraate were not much slower in recovering and.'according to French official re- ports, succeeded in regaining posses- sion of the canal banks and much of the surrendered territory to the East.

There is no inclination here to be-

little tho initial success of the German .sweep and the work that is before the allied armies before the situation can be fully restored. A writer in the Pall Mall Gazette describes it as a masteriy tactical counter stroke and declares that if the Germans have

Iwaited long to take their revenge for |Neuve Cha elle the have taken it

now. By getting across the canal it is pointed out the Germans gained for the moment command of new roads- and if they had not been driven back would have forced a. readjustment of the whole allied line in the region of Ypres. Ofllcial reports throw little light on the progress of the battle.

News from Holland gives informa-

tion that the cannonade last night was more severe than eve; and that long trains of German reinforcements are going to the front passing equally long trains of wounded hound for the base hospitals. There is no likelihood therefore that the battle will be over for some days to come as the Ger- mans have made immense prepara- tions in men and material for the of- fensive which forestalled that of the Allies.

That there is no shortage either of

msn or munitions is shown by the fact that the Germans at the same time are conducting an offensive in the heights of the Mouse _where they made unsuccessful attacks. according to French official report. in an effort to recapture Lea Eparges.

British optimism in the outcome is

encouraged by the success of the Allies in repslling similar attacks last October when they were less well equiplwd than the Germans, whereas now there ia believed to be little to choose as between the opposing forces in either numbers or machinery of

war. The battle has had a marked

VIENNA, April 26.-An official state-

ment by the War Oillce to-night is as follows:--ln the (larpathians nt East Uzzok Pass fighting continues. We captured yesterday a new vantage point south-east of Koziouwkn, taking several officers and more than 1.000 men prisoners. The Russians made counter-attacks on heights oi’ Ostry and in the east. These were repulsed with heavy losses. Two Russian bat- talions were almost completely anni- hilated and 100 prisoners were taken. Our troops pursuing enemy occupied 26 Russian trenches and captured much material. Russians before Uzzok have retreated.

effect on recruiting which enjoyed a considerable boom to-day.

ln the meantime the Austro-Ger-

mans have evolved a new movement in the Carpathians. Apparently they have withdrawn the force which at- tempted to outfiank the Russians in the direction of Stry and are attacking them in the neighborhood of Uzzok Pass and to the East of that point. Austria claims to have gained consi- derable success ln the capture of addi- tional heights and prisoners.

All that is known of the attack on

the Dardanclles is contained in a brief' report issued by the War Ofilce and the Admiralty this evening, which simply says that, in spito oi' serious opposition the troops have been suc- cessfully landed at various points on Gallipoli Peninsula and that their advance continues. An attack is being made by land and sea and air. The Allied airmen are playing an import- ant part in the operations in locating and dropping bombs on the Turkish guns and trenches and in directing the fire ol' the warshlps covering the land- ing oi' troops. The Russians are doing their share by making a demonstra- tion against the forts at the Black Sea entrance to the Boaphorua.

The diplomatic situation with respect

to Italy and Greece remains obacuro. It is known, however, that conversa- tions are still proceeding between the Germanic allies and Italy, and it is reported that an agreement has been reached between Rome and the Triple

Entente. The position of Greecilvmayn be cleared up after the visit hich Prince George is paying to Paris and

London, although nothing is likely to

happen until after the general election, which is about to take place.

Holland, another neutral country

deeply interested in the war, is isolated except by telegraph. the British having placed an embargo on shipping, although two steamera load- ed with produce arrived at English ports from Holland to-day. while Ger- many has closed both her own and the Belgian ~bordera. The German action was dictated by a desire to hide the movement. of troops. The British action is not explained, except by the assumption that the Admiralty ex- pects a naval battle with the German

Yesterday was "Visitors' Day" at

West Kent School, Cliarlottetown. when a large number of parents and others interested had an opportunity of acquainting themselves with the ex- cellent work of the pupils and the splendid condition of the school. From 9 to 11 a.m. the regular class work was conducted and the visitors had the pleasure of witnessing some very fine and creditable examples ol' penman- sbip and drawing and other specimens of school work, which reflected in no ,uncertain measure thc thorough, lefilcient and. above all, correct, train- ing which the scholars are receiving in the various rooms. At ll o'ciock visitors and pupils repaired to the spacious and comfortable ball of the ,building and, the assembly seated on benches arranged in terrace form, an interesting programme, consisting of speeches and a demonstration of phy- sicai drill. was carried through, Mr ’i‘. C. James, a member of the School Board, acting as chairman. Tho pupils sang a splendid selection of songs, which delighted their audience and compelled well merited applause; while a group of boys, under the direc- tion of Mr Yoo, one oi' the teacliers, went through n number ot' physical cvolutlons, to tho tune oi' music sup- plied by Professor 'I‘ho1npson. Mr Yeo is a highly capable instructor, and his efliciency was evidenced in the splen- did performance to which the audience were treated. He spares no pains in his effort to bring his class up io a high standard, and although the boys who took part in the drill had had but a short practice they acquitted them- selves in a manner that would do credit to others who had undergone a full course of instruction.

In the singing, Stewart Ross sang

the solos in "We'li never let the Old Flag Fall." The chainnan next called on the Superintendent of Education. Mr R. H. Campbell, to speak. He con- gratulated the Principal (Mr Johnson) and Vice-Principal (Mr Campbell), as well as the teachers and pupils, on the fine performance which they had given. and referred particularly to tht- singlng, on which he commended them in very complimentary terms. In this regard he did not overlook Professor Thompson, who has done a great deal to improve singing at West Kent. Mr Campbell also remarked on the in-.

being taken by the pupils in 'thc school. This spirit of enthusiasm in the school, he said, was very encour- aging, antl he hoped that every boy would do all he could, by living a clean, honest. manly life, and always acting the gentleman, to uphold the honour of West Kent School and to bluld for it an enviable and exemplary reputation. He reminded them that in the present war tt great many of thc. Islanders who had enlisted were "oltl‘ boys " ot’ West Kent. and suggcstcdI that it list oi' the names ol' those young men might be prepared and hung up in the school, so that it might serve as an incentive to the boys now attenti- lng tho school to do their best in every- thing they attempted. West Kent was one of tho most important schools in the province. (This remark was greeted with applause on the part of the pupils.) He explained that “ visi- tors' day " was required by the School Act, lu order that parents and school trustees might see how tho teachers were carrying on their work. I-lc hoped that an increasing number of parents would take advantage of this 0DD0l`lllllilY each year. There was a larger attendance yesterday than he had seen on any previous visitors' day. The chairman then called on Mr Harold (‘roas, Secretary of the Y.M.C.A., who congratulated the Prin- cipal aud teachers on the splendid work of the pupils. This was his first visit to a school in Prince Edward Island, and whllo he had come from tt part of Canada where it was thought there were good schools, hc had to admit that the sample of work he had seen that morning had impressed him considerably and made hitno ff-el that there were vcry good schools in thc province. llc fully endorsed thc senti- ments of thc Superlntt-ntlr-nt as to thc duty of the boys in fostering tho school spirit. Many follows did not‘ appreciate tho benefits of the school until it was too late. and hc urged on the pupils to take advantage of their youth and make the most they could of their time. They should aim at keeping school life clean and honest and upon as high a plane as posslhlc. i-Ie paid a warm tribute to Mr Yeo on the excellent training which, hc said, It was evident the boys had rcceiveil in physical drill. In connection with the singing, he thought that there could not be too much of that. Sing-- ing in the school should be encouraged as much as possible. Dr Ayers also expressed his pleasure at being pres- ent. and remarked on the excellence of the programme. Mr James said he felt the morning had been s most suc- cessful one and he announced to the pupils that there would be it half- holiday. The event was brought to it close by the singing of “O (‘anntin." the Island iiymn ami the National

Anthem.
