YESTERDAY'S TELEGRAMS.

THE WESTERN struggle,

London, May 3. Sir Douglas Haig reports:-Local fighting was to our advantage on the night of the 5th inst,, in the neighbourhood of Villera Bretonneux. We successfully raided to the south of Arras and to east of St. Vensat, ospturing prisoners and five machine-guns; Reciprocal artillerying was active during the night between Givenchy and Nieppe Forest, in the neighbourhood of Loore and southward of Ypres.

London, May 3.

Beater's Correspondent at British Headquarters, telegraphing on the 3rd inst., water-The Germans have not renewed their efforts to advanco in Flanders or on the Somme, and their objective time- tables indicate that they are finding their taak mach heavier than they anticipated. On Thursday night there was much bombing activity on both side, our airmen inflicting heavy casualties. The Australians carried out succsasal minor operations at Villers- Bretonneux while the Canadians "mopped up" s strong post, taking seven prisoners and five machine-gune. Farther north the British rurbed a machine-gus smplacement, clearing it out and driving back the three survivors of the garrison. A tremendous crescendo of gunfire has broken out this morning apparently in the Lysregion.

London, May 3.

It is specially noteworthy that with the lall in the fighting since the German defeat at Ypres sil German talk of "The Kaiser's battle" has vanished. German experts on the staffs of the news papers have now been instructed to warn the people that a new Sedan Y possible, that Ypres is very strong and that the British are most stubborn and that, after all, Ypres bas no importance for Germany. They declare that the German Command may decide not to take Ypres.

Bir William Robertson's warning is commented upon in London as timely. It is pointed out that one reason why American intervention has not been sooner active in some fields is because America made arrangements for intervention on an immenes scale and she realised that fa. snoossafal offensive against Germany may be necessary to winfthe] war.

The Times refers to a despatch from Washington stating "that diplomatista anticipate alpesce move but it remarks that no offer of mediation, even from the Pope, will be considered. Any proposal for peace must come from Germany. The Times declares that the Allies will most any such move with the same unbroken front as they met the latest military offensive.

London, May 3.

Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reports:-We, in co-peration with the French, took prisoners in local fighting to the south of Villers Bretonneux. The enemy's artillery is active to the north of Albert.

THE IRISH PROBLEM.

London, May 3.

The Parliamentary Lobbyist of the Daily Chronicle states that the Government in determined to proceed with Roms Bale, which will be on federal lines, providing one Parliament for the whole of Ireland. The Bill will be introduced the week after next.

An appreciable improvement in the aitastion in Ireland is reported as a consequence of the appointment of Mr. E. Shortt, KO., sa Obief Secretary, and Captain Redmond as Intelligence Officer on Lord French's Staff.

The Times' Lobbyist confirms that the Home-Bale Bill is nwuming defiante atape. It lays down the Federal principle for the United Kingdom." The correspondent says the Customs and Excise will be almost certainly reserved to the Irish Parliament until after the war. It is understood that an additional safeguard for Ulster is provided in the form of an Ulster Committee with a power or veto on legislation affecting Ulster. The latest proposal for the vice-Boyalty is that it shall be placed in commission, possibly under Lord Midleton, Lord French and Justice Boss.

The Daily Express aaye that all Parliamentary plans have been apest by the new actuation. Instead of a month's holiday at Whit santide, there will probably be only a week and it is expected that the Commons will eit all the summer,

MORE GERMAN INHUMANITY.

London, May 3...

Datoh papers state that 107 severely wounded British have arrived at Botterdam for repatriation. They were not sent from Germany under proper conditions. No hospital train was provided and the Dutch "medical süthorities" expressed forcible opinions regarding the transport of stretcher cased in such circumstances. The German authorities, it is pointed out, mast either confess inhumanity or admit that no hospital trains are available owing to German losses in the west.

MORE REWARDS FOR BRAVERY,

The following are typical:-Second-Lient, B. M. Csamidy, late Lancashire Fasiliera, Daring a hostile attack when the flank of s Division was engaged Cassidy, who was commanding a Company in alose support, most nobly carried out to the letter, the orders that he must hold the position to the last. The enemy came on in over. whelming numbers, endeavouring to turn the flank. He, however, ocationally rallied his men ander terrifio bombardment. The enemy were several times cleared out of the trench under hie personal leadership. His company was eventually surrounded, but Cassidy fought on, encouraging and exhorting his men until he was killed. UNCLAIMED TELEGRAMS. His most gallant conduct held up the whole attack at this point, and undoubtedly saved the left flank from possible disaster.

-Private H. G. Columbine, late Machine-Gun Corps. Owing to casualties Columbine took command of a gun and kept firing from de nine in the morning till one in the afternoon, in an isolated unwired position," beating back successive waves. An attack by a low-flying saroplane enabled the enemy finally to gain a strong footing in trench on either side. The position being antenable, Columbine ordered the two remaining men to get away, and though bombed from either side he kept the gun firing, inflicting tremendous lomes. Ha' was eventually killed by a bomb blowing up him and his gun,

Such a burden would completely paralyze production and, all the spirit of enterprise and completely ruin our economic life. Our foes are. considerably better off in this zem spect. They need entertain no such apprehensions, as their own coun tries and colonial possessions afford rich natural sources of valuable raw materials and millions of workers, while Germany is dependent on herself; and even if she gained colopies she cannot reckon on any, immediate prafit therefrom.
