Fix this textplained by. the (*iancellor of the Ex-
Fix this textchequer (Mr. Lloyd'George) in the House
Fix this textof Commons on Thursday.
Fix this textMr. Llovd George explained at the out-
Fix this textset that he was not suggesting a tem-
Fix this textperance reform, but- an act of discipline
Fix this textfor the nation dining the war, for the <
Fix this textpurpose of the war. Hence he proposed :
Fix this textto restrict as much as possible the sale
Fix this textof spirits and of the majority of alcoholic
Fix this textbeers. The Cabinet proposed to deal with
Fix this textthe excessive drinking among a section «
Fix this textonly of those engaged in the output of I
Fix this textwar munitions.
Fix this textThe nation should exert its whole
Fix this textstrength and subordinate everything to
Fix this textthe present struggle. Every obstacle
Fix this textshould be removed in order to win the
Fix this textwar, the outlook being one of life to the
Fix this textEmpire. So serious was the drink evil
Fix this textthat nothing but strong action would en-
Fix this textable them to cope with it. Consideration
Fix this textof the question was forced upon them by
Fix this textthe officials responsible for the output of
Fix this textwarlike stores, and the slackness in some
Fix this textshipyards was causing serious anxiety to
Fix this textthe commanders of the Fleet.
Fix this textThe Chancellor emphasised the fact that
Fix this textwhile the men at the Royal dockyards were
Fix this textworking splendidly, the work done in the
Fix this textshipyards on the Tyne and at Barrow-in-
Fix this textFurness (Lancashire) was much less than
Fix this textmight reasonably be expected. The loss 1
Fix this textwas less in the armament works, but it
Fix this textwas sufficiently serious.
Fix this textHe quoted instances where some of the j 1
Fix this textmen were working 70 and 80 hours a week 1
Fix this textin shell and explosives factories, but their
Fix this textwork was hampered by those wfio were 1
Fix this textworking only from 25 to 40 hours a week. 1

Fix this textScene Described by Spectator.
Fix this text1
Fix this text| A vivid description of the part played by
Fix this textthe Allies’ warships is told by a “Daily
Fix this text; I Chronicle” correspondent, who. on the
Fix this textI first day. was on Mitylene. the Greek island
Fix this textI in the .iEgean, north of the Gulf of
Fix this textSmyrna.
Fix this text1 “The most powerful fleet engaged in war- I
Fix this textI like operations,” be says, "commenced to
Fix this texthammer the Hellespont defences at dawn on
Fix this text1 Sunday, and there was no cessation even
Fix this textI when night fell. The darkness was lit up
Fix this textIby the flashing of searchlights, and the
Fix this textthunder of the guns could be heard at Mity-
Fix this textj lene, the nearest pont of which is more than
Fix this textj 40 miles away."
Fix this textI On the Monday, the "Daily Chronicle"
Fix this textebrrespondent managed to reach Rabbit
Fix this text»j Island, which is opposite to the mouth of
Fix this textthe Dardanelles, and about eight miles
Fix this textI from the Asiatic shore.
Fix this text1 I From this vantage point he was able to
Fix this textI watch the actual bombardment.
Fix this text| Shells Fall on “The Narrows.”
Fix this text“A tremendous column of smoke,” he tele-
Fix this textgraphs, “poured out of Knm Kaleh fort at
Fix this texti midday, and then the village of Yenieher
Fix this text, became ablaze.
Fix this texti “Tall columns of smoke. 11 miles farther
Fix this textr up the Straits, showed that effective fire was
Fix this text! being directed upon ‘The Narrows’ forts,
Fix this text1 where small warships were directing the fire
Fix this textJ of the battle-ships upon the Kilid Bahr and
Fix this text; ; Chanak forts. The largest battle-ships lay
Fix this textt on the European side of the entrance, often
Fix this textpouring out 20 discharges to the minute.
Fix this texts ' “To the left of the entrance was a line of
Fix this textr transports.
Fix this text"The bombardment became more intense
Fix this textj in the afternoon, ami new fires broke out
Fix this textat several points on the Asiatic shore. One
Fix this textshell took a bnge mass of masonry from the
Fix this textcliff side at Kum Kaleh.
Fix this text“It was evident that all resistance had
Fix this textended, for the battle-ships lifted their fire
Fix this text% higher up the Strait.
Fix this text>- “The fort at Seddul Bahr. on the Euro-
Fix this textpean side of the entrance, was utterly
Fix this textknocked to pieces.
Fix this text“Then two French warships took up the

Fix this text“The Turks bravely stood to their guns

Fix this textreplied with seven shots.
Fix this text! “When the smoke had cleared off there

Fix this textGallantry of Australians.
Fix this text“The Times,” in a leading article com-
Fix this textmenting upon the British Government’s con-
Fix this textgratulations to the Commonwealth, states
Fix this textthat the Australians' gallantry was very
Fix this textgrateful news to the British people. Nothing
Fix this textmoved the mother country more than the
Fix this textdevotion of the daughter nations. She
Fix this textsees in it the best auguries for lofty ideals
Fix this textand spiritual aspirations traditional of the
Fix this textrace.
Fix this text"British people, however,” “The Times”
Fix this textcontinues, “want to know why the news
Fix this textwas available in Melbourne and Wellington
Fix this text(New Zealand), but was not announced in
Fix this textLondon.”
Fix this textThe “Daily Mail” also complains that
Fix this textGreat Britain has not yet been allowed to
Fix this texthear anything of the Australians' and New
Fix this textZealanders' “magnificent services” in the
Fix this textDardanelles.”

Fix this textFIGHT FOR ST. JULIEH
Fix this textLOST AND WON
Fix this textSTORY BY “EYEWITNESS.”
Fix this textThe manner in which the village of St.
Fix this textJuKen was lost and won is told in the fol-
Fix this textlowing thrilling report by “Eye-Witness,”
Fix this textthe official reporter attaclied to the British
Fix this textheadquarters’ staff:—
Fix this text"Before the battle of Ypres began the
Fix this textBritish line ran from the cross-roads at
Fix this textBroodseinde, east of Zonnebeke (five miles
Fix this textnorth-east of Ypres), to the cross-roads half
Fix this texta mile north of St. Julien, following the
Fix this textcrest of the Grafenstafcl Ridge. The
Fix this textFrench prolonged the line north of Lange-
Fix this textmarck to Steenstraate (seven miles north
Fix this textof Ypres).
Fix this text“The movements of the German troops
Fix this textand transport were detected some days be-
Fix this textfore the attack opened, and the surprise,
Fix this textwhich, despite this knowledge, they were
Fix this textable to spring on us, was entirely due to
Fix this texttheir asphyxiating apparatus. The attack
Fix this texthad been originally fixed for April 20, but
Fix this textwas postponed owing to the unfavourable
Fix this textwind.
Fix this text“On April 22 a cloud of poisonous vapour
Fix this textrolled softly towards the trenches occupied
Fix this textby the Zouaves to the west of Langemarck.
Fix this textThe gases were so effective that the Ger-
Fix this textman charge was practically not resisted.
Fix this text, The enemy, by a sudden irruption, were
Fix this text, able to surprise and overrun a large pro-
Fix this textportion of French troops billeted in this
Fix this text, area, and to bring some British and French
Fix this textguns under a hot rifle fire at close range.
Fix this text1 “When the British flank became exposed
Fix this textthrough the French falling back, our troops
Fix this textwere ordered to retire upon St. Julien
Fix this textwith their left west of the high road. Here
Fix this texttheir splendid resistance saved tbe situa-
Fix this texttion.
Fix this text“Meanwhile the Germans bombarded the
Fix this texti northern portion of the town of Ypres,
Fix this textthe shells including projectiles containing
Fix this textasphyxiating gas.
Fix this text“British reserves were watching these
Fix this textshells bursting, when a staff officer rode up,
Fix this textshouting, ‘Stand to arms!' A few minutes
Fix this textlater reserves were quietly marching north-
Fix this textward, amid a wild confusion of panic-
Fix this textstricken refugees from Ypres, who were
Fix this textswarming along the roads. The officers
Fix this textmustered other reserves without waiting for
Fix this textorders, and marched them towards St.
Fix this textJulien.
Fix this text“During this time a confused fight was in
Fix this textprogress north and north-east of Ypres, the
Fix this textGermans advancing behind a wall of poisoir-
Fix this textous vapour released by them, which swept
Fix this textacross the fields and through the woods and
Fix this texthedgerows. The enemy were free to move,
Fix this textbecause they had their noses protected by
Fix this textpads soaked in bicarbonate of soda.' A bat-
Fix this texttery of 4.7 in. guns on the left of the
Fix this textBritish line was surprised and overwhelmed
Fix this textin a moment. Farther to the rear several
Fix this textfield batteries were unable to come into
Fix this textaction until the Germans were within a few
Fix this texta hundred yards, yet not one gun was lost.
Fix this textOne battery taken in flank swung round
Fix this text| and tired pointblank into the Germans,
Fix this text’• whose rush was checked. Another batter) - ,
Fix this textv with its guns pointing in the opposite direc-
Fix this texti tion. had the enemy on three sides.
Fix this text"Our infantry, facing vastly superior
Fix this textforces, were fighting every step. Without
Fix this texti the slightest confusion they slowly retired
Fix this textfrom t>t. Julicn, and the reserves uo>. %
Fix this textcoming up attacked the Germans with i.
Fix this textbayonet. A melee ensued during which we
Fix this textheld our own, both sides losing heavily.
Fix this text■‘Fighting continued by moonlight, and
Fix this textour troops drove back the enemy with re-
Fix this textpeated bayonet charges, dunng which our
Fix this textheavy guns were recaptured.
Fix this text"The jxisitioii north of Ypres was now
Fix this textsomewhat restored. The Germans, how-
Fix this textever, forced a way to the Yser Canal,
Fix this textand occupied Steenstraate and some
Fix this textpoints on the western bank, but the British
Fix this textrepulsed two heavy night attacks at Brood-
Fix this textseule, east of Zonnebeke. Part of Ypres
Fix this textwas now in flames.
Fix this text"Karly on Friday we made a strong eoun-
Fix this textle.r-attack northwards, with the co-opera-
Fix this texttion of the French penetrating to the St.
Fix this textGoulien wood, where the Germans suffered
Fix this textheavily in a bayonet charge, after we had
Fix this textlost heavily in a dash across the open. One
Fix this textd nian's rifle was smashed by a bullet, but he
Fix this textIs continued to tight with his entrenching t
Fix this text;e tool.
Fix this textfc . “We dug ourselves in at II o’clock in the
Fix this textmorning, and held a hne west from St.
Fix this textJ alien, curving north near Boesinghe, four
Fix this textmiles north of Ypres. During Uie after-
Fix this textnoon we made progress south of Pi Ik cm
Fix this text(five miles north of Ypres), still further
Fix this textstraightening onr line.
Fix this textd "Meanwhile there was fierce- fighting along
Fix this text. the canal. The Germans captured Luzerne
Fix this text(six miles north-east of Ypces) at night,
Fix this textr ' and threw several bridges across the canal.
Fix this textp They'continued to gain ground, on the west,
Fix this textn and made another night attack under -cover

Fix this texteffected little at this point until midday on

Fix this textwere snen advancing along-the Ypnea-Poel-
