Assets to he Realized will not Pay More than Expenses. VANCOUVER, July 15.-Tho entire body of claims from depositors ill thc. Dominion Trust Company, llunlbcrillg five thousand, and covering amounts totalling a millioll dollars, have been thrown out by Liquldutor Andrew Ste- wart, wllo is uowl ill charge at the former Dominion -Trust lleutiqllaril-rs in this city. Mr. Stewart has segre- gated the deposition illto three groups and objects to paying ally of them. He declines on the advice of his counsel to admit Illat ally oi' tilt-ln rank as creditors of the company in any sense, and to prove otherwise the depositors' case will have to be taken to the courts. For this purpose, E. P. Davis, I<.(‘,., wllo was retained some months ago by the Provincial Goverllluollt ill the matter, will at ollce appeal t.o the Supreme Court. Test cases, for the purpose of determining the rights of depositors, will probably be carried to the Privy Council. Many of the do- positors are pellniless, and the Gov- ernment will foot the bill for litiga- tion, The totl amount of depositors' claims ill British Columbia is $675,- 000. The balallce is chiefly owing to persons in Eastern Canada. Tile li- quidator, in refusillg the calilns, rc- lies on the Birkbeck Bank case ill Lolldon, whore for many years a con- cern which finally wellt to the wall, received deposits without ally legal right to do so. Durillg tile last year of the compauy’s existence deposits. in Dominion Trust were taken by a pass book system which stated that the monies were held "in trust for ln- vestment." More than half tho total amount of deposits is represented in 'before the Court that they \vere not really depositors, but investors, and tllcrei`ol'o ilavc a right to be consider- ed to rank with the general crditors. Persons in close tollcll with the liqui- dation are alltllorlty for the assertion that the loss will be cvcll lllore slag- gerlng Illall at first thought, and it is dollbtl`lll if what will be finally real- izcd,, even after careful llnutlling for l‘Ile next. follr or tivo yours, will more tllan pay tho If-gal expenses and ac- tual costs incident to tho llquitlatinll.

Simultaneously with the German effort to reach Warsaw on the Russian lines serving tllat for- tress from the North, the Austrians have attacked along Dnicstcr and have succeeded ill crossing that river at several points. General Von Mac- kenzen's army whicll doubtless has been waiting for Field Marshall Voll llilldellburg to move ill the llortll, has also come to life again and fighting has been resumed ill Southern Poland. lll fact there is fighting of lnore or less severity all along the Russian front, except in Central Poland, where the Russians are in such strong posi- tions tllat in the opinion of military men, it would be impossible to break through. Tile Germans claim further pogress with northern operations but with the Rllssinlls retiring it is likely that the maill force have not claslled as yet. Tile combined opera- tions are the most gigantic yet under- taken, the aim being, not-rlrrlillg to military experts, to squeeze the Rus- sians out of Warsaw tho great slice of country they hold north, south and east of that city, and at tho same time attempt all invasion of Bcssarbia. So long as this effort to crush Rus- sia or break her power of offensive colltinues there is little possibility, nlilitury writers say, of tile Germans attempting an importallt nlovement ill thc west, for it is bclievcll that the Austro-Germans will i`or a long while require all available troops ill the east. Four German army corps, coln- posed of Pomerauians and men fronl Schleswig are said to have _left ’l‘llorll to reinforce General Von Hillden- burg’s., ‘ Tile German Crown Prince did try to break through the Frellcll lines ill Argonne but in thc oplllion of mili- tary experts his intention was simply to weaken the French hold on Ver- tlllll. A German ofllcial statement claims that one result of this offensive was the capture of .seven thousand French soldiers in three weeks. On the other hand, however, the French claim to have regained most of the ground they were forced to give up and which they state did not exceed four hundred yards ill depth. British cri- tics describe thc effort of the Crown Prince as a costly but partially suc- /cessful advance, foiowetl by a coun- ter-cffcnsive which definitely checked his progress. Figlltillg is now in progress on the Lorraine frontier and in Artres, where the Frellcll continue their attempt to capture Sanchez. Furtller progress, unoflicially reported from Athens, has been matic by the Allies on Gallipoli l’c_llinsulll, in the Durdallelles caln- palgn, and as Athens despatclles are gt-llcrnlly ahead of official reports, this statement is credited here. More important is the news that Rounlania has declined to accede Ger- nlany's demand that Roumanla allow munitions to pass tllrouggh tllat country for Turkey. The Entente Allies announce another victory in Africa. where they captured Megaull- dere, an important trading centre of Kamerun. I IIHIININ PNIS 'U.S. IILIIMS (Special to the Guardian.)

INIENESIING IEIIIIIIIE III IIII. SHIIISIEII Dr Mintin Ashbury Chrysler, Pro- fessor of Ilotany ill the University of Maine, gave an interesting lecture at the Prince of Wales College lust night. Numerous lantern slides were used to illustrate the lecture. which was Elven in connection with the Summer School for teachers. Dr (‘.hrysler's topic was “Boartlers alld Lodgers in the Plant World." He first considered plant parasites, plants which do not prepare the material needed for their growth, but obtain It already prepared from other living plants, or in some cases; from living animal tissue. This last condition is illustrated in the disease causing bacteria. The term fungi covers s vast assemblage of parasitic plants, many of which cause plant diseases. as in the case of the smuts and rusts and black knot. Some cases occur where two plants live In inti- mate relatlonship, each deriving bene- fit from the other. The bacteria causing tubercles on the roots of leguminous plants are Illustrations of this, and the importance of these plants in keeping up the fertility of the loil is now widely known. Prof. Chrysler's lecture was much enjoyed, and at the close he was tendered a vote of thanks. The meeting was closed by singing the National Anthem.
