(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 -

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

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

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
the upper Astico and on upper Cordo--
vole. On Isonzo front there was -mo-
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. _

LIVERPOOL. May 16.-Chief Officer
Collins, of the British fourmasted ship
Caigate, which was sunk by a Ger-
man submarine in the Atlantic who
landed at Liverpool yesterday protes-
ted, vigorously against the submarine
commander's inhuman and barbarous
conduct. in setting the seamen adrift
- in open boats after sinking their ship
and during a terrific gale ami in a
high sea. “i reckon nobody calling
themselves white men or humanity
would cast' men adrift in small boats
during such wes0har,7’ said Collins
"When I was ieavlugthe ship I did not
think the boatg could live through
such a sea."
The Calgate's crew belonged to
many nationalities. The chief oiiicer‘s
boat was adrift for forty-five hours
before its occupants were rescued by
a patrol vessel.
