grant a general pardon to all railway
employes who were punished because
of the part they took in thc strike of
May, 1014. This action is said to be
designed as another step to bring
about n closer union of all parties in
the country.
Reports rccolvcd from evcry nni-
versity in Italy are to the effect that
the students of each will volunteer in
a body for the war.
Despatches from Vcrona say that
the Italians whose homes are in Aus-
tria. and Italy, are pouring across the
frontier by thousands every day, be-
cause they arc fearful of reprisals in
the event ol’ hostilities.
The authorities at Genoa have been
ordered to keop a close watch on the
German stcamers interned at that
port, as it is believed their captains
may attempt to escape after a decla-
ration of war, or to blow up the ves-

WAR TAX ON RAILWAY TICKETS
T0 BE REFUNDED.
OTTAWA, May 21.--The Minister
of Finance states that war taxes paid
upon railway sleeper, parlour car and
steamship tickets may be refunded to
the purchaser of any such ticket li'
thc ticket is for any reason not used
and if the selling company refunds to
the purchaser the price of the ticket.
The refund of the war tax will be
made at the same time as the refund
of the price of the ticket.
Although the special war revenue
act does not provide for such refund,
the Minister of_ Finance regards it as
just and equitable that it _should be
allowed, and on his recommendation
the Government has given the neces-
sary authorisation under the provi-
sions of the consolidated revenue and
audit act. .

in the afternoon we were reinforced

blowing, making it harder for 0\1l‘

GERMAN LOSSES
NOW 1i800,000 MEN.
LONDON, May 20.-According to
information 'ln the possession of the
London»Chroniclc, the German losses
since thdbeginning of the war, to
March 23 total 1,800,000 men. The
Chronicle says:
"We have received what purports
to be an authoritative statement of
casualties in the German ranks from
the beginning of the war until March _
23. The number of lists of dead and
wounded and missing until that date
was 180.
“Between March 23 ami May 15
forty-live further lists have been pub-
lished, making a total of 224 state-
ments in our possession, containing
the grand total of casualties. The first
180 listscover the period of fighting
from August 2 until February 14, and
