THE OMINECA MINER, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1917 © . ¢ 4 - MONDAY, JUNE a & Fever ereTTevTyT London: The manner in which British aviators dominated the air during the battle of Messines ridge on Thursday and completely smothered the German avidtors for the time being is one of the most thrilling and remarkable stories of the war. Hundreds of British planes were well behind the German lines when the battle broke into fury at dawn. The German army under Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria has apparently not recovered from the blow made against its lines south of Ypres on Thursday. The Huns are not making any serious attempts to- recapture the important positions lost to the British in the great bate. The Germans captured number more than seven thousand, Canadians made a raid last night and took 150 prisoners south of Lens. Rome: Austrian attacks were repeated last night in the Gorizia area,in Vodice and nearby sectors, but were repulsed with heavy losses to the Austrians. Petrograd: IntheCarpathians northwest of Raviovka, Russians attacked the Austrians, driving them from their trenches. A German airplane was brought down near Kozov, The demand for punishmsnt of the former ezar is growing in Russia. Crews of hattleships adopt resolutions requiring the imprisonment of the deposed emperor, at Kronstadt. They threaten force.if their demand is refused. The suggestion,started by extremists, is meeting with widespread approval. The Huns’ plea for armistice is scorned by the workmen’s and soldiers’ delegates, which appeal to the army not to listen to. the blandishments of the Germans. Copenhagen: Death notices in German newspapers indicate the terrible toll the western battle is taking armong German‘aviators. ‘Submarme losses are not allowed to be mentioned. - Ottawa: Theconseription wing of the Liberals ‘is prepared to support the government measure but not to tnerge completely with the Conservative party. The reorganization will probably be ' within the Conservative party. An election is believed inevitable. The Liberals are radically split.

W, _ Rowell, representing the Liberals of Qntario andthe maritime provinces, declared they would give support to the government on the conscription issue, They ‘expressed poignant regret in “definitely. denouncing the leader. ship of Laurier.
