LONDON, June 7-Fighting between Hooge and Hill 60 in which three or four thousand Canadian casualties have occurred is not yet ended. it has been the most tremendous ar- tillery combat known in the British lines and concentrated on a long nar- row front line of sections of about a mile. For three days and nights each stile has kept up its bombardment. The_.Germans with an amazing au- dacity and assurance, advanced some oi' their batteries to s. few hundred yards behind our old positions, and they had gun after gun put out of nc- tion. During the last few days they have abandoned these tactics as they are too costly even for the Hans, and their batterles have been quiet, except where they, it is thought, were prepar- ing a counter attack. The heavy guns on either side have never ceased. We havedone tremendous damage to the light railways and main roads where were gathered the German re- serves and the British aerial squad- rons on Sunday and Monday bombar- ded far behind the German lines. On Monday afternoon and Tuesday a south westerly gale blew up_and made airvwork difficult. Yesterday there wa_g_;a3_so a heavy ralnstorm which has turne the churned earth of "Dear Man's Land" into a morass, over which it would be impossible to carry an in- fantry attack. The fiercest fighting seems to have' i shifted further north to'the trenches held'hy the British regiments.

B. Cnrvell, counsel for Mr. G. W. Kyte, was de- livered before the Meredith-Duff Com- mission to-day. ,Mr. E. P. B. John- ston, who has changed his mind at the urging of Mr Helmuth as to presen- ting an argument to the Commission, was then scheduled to go on hut, as he explained, he was unprepared. Ad- journment was taken till tomorrow when the innuiry will conclude with an argument by Messrs. Ewart. Nesbitt, Laflamme and others. Mr. Hellmuth, this morning, made only a brief statement in which he out- lined the scope of the inquiry ami compared the charges made with thc .‘ facts as brought out in the evidence. Mr. Carvell who followed, on tho other hand, made a purely political speech, one which he admitted liiuisclr was des gned for public effect, and which was undoubtedly characterized by all the devices of innuendo and lu- sinustion, combined with reckless statements such as havebeen typical -of his addresses in parliament and elsewhere. Not once, but many times. Kyte's counsel. ‘ "lt is impossible to conceive a more utter failure of anything approaching evidence in regard to impropriety on the part of any one in authority in this matter I can find no evidence, not a tittle of it, to show that General Hughes used the slighest pressure of any kind on the Shell Committee to induce them to award these contracts for corrupt purposes or bring them abuot at all," said Mr. Helmuth, in re- viewing the testimony taken before the inquiry. He pointed out that the whole point of the words of Messrs. K to and Carvell in Parliament had: Y been that there was it corrupt connec- tion between the Shell Committee and the Miiiialer of Militia in regard to the fusc contracts and that this had not been sustained by one tittle of tcstimony. A highly significant statement was made by Mr. Justice Dull' during Mr. Hellmuth's argument, n statement -which proved to be a direct and strik- ing contradiction oi’ the purport of Mr. '|(`.arvell’s whole argument which fol- WBB t"“"5f"’"`°d [mm the N°v“ Swtm exception was taken to Mr. Carvell's lowed. "I quite concur. however, in §’og;?_tNElBj_“E2nI;; (1?t't§l'eCifI)'_‘f;°3'°_°“'i‘I’]°d' remarks by both members ofthe Com-fwiiat you say, that there is nothing in the evidence to point to any corrup- tion or personal dishonesty,” he told Mr. Helmuth. This pronouncement of the Commissioner was received with great interest by counsel and was possibly the most important feature of the morning evidence. Despite Justice DuiT’s expression of opinion, however, Mr. Carveil who fol- lowed, imputed most of the crimes in the calendar, including both of those mentioned by the Commissioner, to practically everybody connected with the fuse contracts, Messrs. Bssslck, Cadwell, and Yoakum were men who had "banded themselves together in a nefarious contract to steal from the people of the Empire.” Such a deal had been "pulled off, if not with the knowledge. with the approbation of General Sir Sam Hughes." This state- ment was immediately objected to by Mr. Justice Duff and Mr. Carvell had to modify it. As for the Shell Com- mittee. Mr. Carvell said that in plac- ing the fuse contracts in the United States it had been guilty of "a dastard- ly attempt' to strike a deadly blow at Canadian manufacturers." And finally as regards Mr. Kyte, his client, the Liberal counsel statca that “the people of Canada would rise up in this gene- ration and fall him blessed.” ` ____..__ ~--.___---_----------------aa, P_ E, 1.
