(Continued from Pags L.) BRITISH CAPTURE TRENCH SYSTEM,

London, June 19.

Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reports: We continued our progress to the south-east of Messines and captured the enemy's trench system this morning in the neighbourhood of La Potterie Farm, on a front of about a mile During the day we gained further ground in this area. We captured seven feld guns and some prisoners.

PASSPORTS TO RUSSIA.

Labourites Back In London.

London, June 12 Mr. Hamsay Macdonald and Mr. F. W. Jowett hare returned to London.

In the House of Cominous replying to a motion in favour of the cancellation of their passports Mr. Bobar Law pointed out that there was no wisdom in such a step..

Government Refuses to Cancel Them.

London, June 12

Lo the House of Commons, Mr. Terrell moved the adjournment and pressed the Government to cancel Mr. Ramsay Macdonald's and Mr. F. W. Jowest's passports as they did not represent any substantial body of English opinion.

Mr. Wardle on behalf of the Labour Party pointed out that they were not going as representing Brush labour. They could not injure, Great Britain but they might help her. He refused to believe that they would advise a aparate

peace.

Mr. Bunar Law, in reply, said it was hecessary for the House to throw itself into the atmosphere of Petrograd. He believed the final issue of the war depended upon Rus- xis's attitude. If the delegates were sot allowed to proceed Russians would say that Russia was asked to continue the war for England's sake and that the English were afraid to allow the small minority to express their view,

He believed the Russian Government intended to use Russia in the fight on behalf of our cause for which we were all fighting and therefore we should try to ease their path and meet their request that the representatives of all classes of labour should proceed to Petrograd. Sir George Buchanan and Mr. Henderson. as the sput, bad impressed the strong inadvisibility of refusing to issue passports. The British Government had weighed all considerations and concluded that as it was in the interests of the, prosecution of the war it would be unwise to refuse our Russian ally's request.
