LONDON, May 5.-Russian reports
concerning the recent fighting ill
Western Galicia are being accepted by
British military critics as reducing
the German claims to victory in this
battle to more just proportions. Fol-
Ilowing his usual custom, the Grand
Duko Nicholas, Commander-in-Chief,
has not hesitated to admit a reverse
and confirms the German statement
that his antagonist succeeded in break-
ing across the Dunn-jec River. But
the `Grand Duke adds he is holding
then fast on the bank of this stream
and seems to intimate that he has
little anxiety concerning the ultimate
outcome of the fierce fighting which
has been going on in this region for
a week past.

BISNllP'S LEITEN
UN ABSTININEI PLIDSI
Below is the text of the 'Temperance
circular letter’ issued by ills Lordship
the Bishop and read in all the Catholic
churches of the diocese of Charlotte-
town last Sunday, when splendid ser-
mons were preachedz-
“ In view of the many evils which
have ever been the result of intemper-
ance, we have always regarded it as
a. duty to exhort our people to the
practice of total abstinence from ia-
toxicating liquors. In so doing, we
have been animated not merely by
social or humanitarian motives, but
principally by solicitude for the eter-
nal intereshs of the flock committed
to our care. Hence we have desired
to see our various temperance organ-
isations and notably the League of the
Cross encouraged and aided in its
bsnetlcent work; and have encourag-
ed the many children whom we have
confirmed to pledge themselves to
-voluntary abstinence from alcoholic
beverages. In all this work we rejoice
to say that we have ever found in our
clergy faithful and zealous co-
operators.
, At the present time, as you have
already learned from the press. a
movement for voluntary abstinence
from alcoholic beverages has been
inaugurated from patriotic motives,
following the example of our illus-
trious King George, who has banished
alcoholic beverages from his house-
hold. To this movement which cannot
but redound to the moral and material
welfare of our people we have given
our approval and support. We desire
moreover to seo it extended to all por.
tions of thediocesc,alld we request you
to urge upon the members of your
,flock the benefits to be derived from
total abstinence.
I have directed that a number of
printed pledges be sent to each pastor
for the signature of all those who
desire to take the pledge from intoxi-
cating Ilquor during the period of the
war. These signed pledges may' be
kept by the pastor as a record. or used
according to his discretion. We would,
however, if possible, be pleased to
learn the number of those who have in
this manner taken this pledge.
We express an earnest hope that
you will profit by the present occasion
to expose to your flock the evil of
intemperance, and to exhort them to
practice total abstinence from intoxi-
llg liquors, not only for patriotic

ingly disappointing from a dramatic
and patriotic point of view. Instead
of a serious drama as the name seem-
ed to indicate, it turned out to be a.
burlesque admirably adapted to dis-
play Mr. Ollver's inimitable eccentricl-
ties. The audience had plenty oppor-
tunlty for laughter, but sometimes it
was laughter to restrain tears of in-
dignation, it was a pity to see the
Kings uniform displayed to so much
ridicnlc and amusement, and had
there been a censor in Charlottetown,
it is certain the play would not have
been allowed to he produced in the
form it was given. What: 'little-plot
there was centred round the rather
discreditable and impossible act ol'
disloyalty on the part of a British offl-
cer wllo sacrificed the interests of his
country in the interests of his Ger-
men sweetheart. Little else need be
said about it; the pity is that so many
capable actors and actresses of ster-
ling ability and considerable hlstrio-
nic power should have devoted their
time and talent to the production ol'
such 11 burlesque. especially at this
critical stage in the Empire's history.
The actors made the most of their
parts. and had they not been dressed
in the King's khaki, would have de-
served unstinted praise for affording
much merriment and amusement.
But tho hearls`of the audience woro
not attuned to comedy-especially at
the expense ot' our brave defenders in
the battlefields oi' Flanders.
