Recent Casualties, The Matin correspondent with the British Headquarters states that at Wytschaste the British cassilties ware 8,000, while the German losses were 30,000 to 40,000. Be adds that the light batteries of a single British division fired 170,000 shells while the heavy batteries fired 80,000 in one arctor alone.

Australia's War Bill.

Mr. Hughes, in inaugurating the war savings osmpaign in Hel- bourne, said that Australia with a papalation of five milions was pending $80,000,000 annually on the war alone. The people at the recent election showed s determination to spend all they had rather than yield an inch in the great straggle for liberty, and more money must be raised.

In Their Own Coin,"

It is asserted that as a result of mit reconnaissances 72 German. batteries were silenced one day recently. Correspondents state that one of the new British weapons, called the oiloaf,” or "boiling oil," threw a consider- abl dietanos projectiles containing bighly inflammable master which barsts on cacus- sion, scattering fire widely. Prisoners state that they spread terror and did great harm.

Mr. Bryan Endorses Food Bill.

When passing through Wash- ington on June 21, Mr. William J. Bryan added his endoreement to the administration food bill in this statement: "A Government that can commandeer the lives of £te young men and call for the money of its old men should have power to protect the whole from the greed of an unpatriotic few, I am not afraid to trust the Pre sident with the powers which the food administration bill proposes to confer. He acts in daylight and withouts selfish interest. No President would abuse such a ponor."

German Duplicity, The correspondent of the Petit Parisien on the British front etates that the Germen com- manders throughout knew that] defeat was certain at Messines: and the chief pre-occupation wie to save the guns without alarming. the infantry. The latter were fooled to the end, and the generale actually arranged a comedy of filte nignals for the srtillery, to which there was no response, the guns really being harried to the rear. This explains why it was necessary to separato the prisoners in, cages.
