EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE GERMAN THRUST.

French Premier on the Situation.

Paris, June 4 Delayed)

In the Chamber, M. Clemences in the couras of a statement said that although the time is a terrible one the courage and neroism of the troops are equal to the situation. The soldiers have been fighting one against Ava: (Land).. cheers) M Clemenceau highly tribwbed Goneral Foch and General Petain General Foch possesses the confidence of the Allies and the Versailles Council decided to thank him publicly. Despite any withdrawals we shall never capitulate The Anglo-French effectives are becoming exhausted, like those of the Germans. The result of the struggle depends on America's help. The Allies are determined to pareue the war to the end. Victory will be ours if the authorities, ries to the height of the situation.". The Fremier received an oration and a vote of confidence was accorded the Govern- mans by 377 votes to 110.

A Tribute to the Troops.

Paris, June 5. (Delayed). In the Chamber. M. Clemenceau said that difficult times were coming and the only question was whether they could stand them. (Loud cheers) "For four years our effec tives have been wearing themselves out. Our front has been held by a line of soldiers which is becoming thinner and thinner. Oar Allies are also, suffered enormous Josses and now arrives a fresh mass of German divisions in good com dition. Is them anyone who does not realise that under-the weight of this tremendous move our lines had to give way at some points! The extent of their recail has become grest. and dangerous. I say nothing more. Nothing has occurred to shake our confidence in our soldiers." (Loud cheers).

The Premier's tribute to the French soldiers, fighting ́one against five and sleepless for three or four days aroused great enthusiasm. A number of Deputies sprang op shouting "Vive l'Armes!" M. Dischanel interposed The Chamber unanimously recognises the heroism of our soldiers” (Lond cheers).

**We Will Never Yield."

London, June 3. (Delayed). Clemenceau proceeded to say he could not mamtain that there had been no mistakes; but it was his business 10 discover and punish mistakes and therein he was sup- ported by two great soldiers, General Foch and General Petain (Loud cheers): These men were at present fighting the hardest battle of the war with a heroism which he was unable to find words to express. "The Army is better than anything we could have expected. (Loud cheers). ‹ Mehmust have faith and die for their ideal if they wish to give us victory. Wo have yielded ground, much more ground than we should have wished. There are men who paid for this retreat with their blood. I know some who accomplished acts of heroism like those Bretons, who were surrounded in -- a wood all night and who next day sent a message by carrier pigeon. You may come and find us We shall hold out-half- a day yet (Loud cheers). These men make the Father land. They continue it, prolong it that Fatherland without which no reform is possible. They die for an ideal for history, which is foremost among the histones of civilised peoples. They are calm and confident, determined to hold on to the end in this hard battle. (Loud cheers). Victory is to you because the Germans who are not so intelligent as they are told they are have only one method, namely to throw their whole weight into the venture and push it to the end: The only thing that matters is final success. You have before you a Government which, as it told you, did not enter into. power, ever, to accept surrender. (Loud cheers from Left and Right). As long as we are here the Fatherland, will be defended to the death and no force will be spared to obtain anocess. We will never yield. That is the word "of command of our Government. We will never yield at

any moment

The Germans are once more staking everything en a coup which is meant to frighten us so. that we may abandon the struggle. For what was their great effort made on 'the Yser in 19147 In order to reach Calais and separate - UB from the British and compel the latter, to renounce the i struggle. Why did they begin again and why have they once more begun againt. In order to obtain the effect of terror. The effectives of the belligerents are being exhausted, those of the Germans as well as our own, but meanwhile the Americans coming to play à hand in deciding the game.

+

M. Clemenceau concluded: The events in Russia gave our enemies a million, additional; men on the Franco-British front but we have Allies representing the foremost nations of the world who have pledged themselves to continge the war until the attainment of success, which we hold within our grasp if we exert the necessary energy. The people -- oček France will accomplish its task, and those who have fallen have not fallen vainly, since they have made French history- great. It remains for the living to complete the magnificent work of the dead. (Loud cheery from all parts of the House)..

The minority which did not vote confidence in M Cle menceau comprased 83 Socialists, and nineteen Socialist- Hadicals belonging more or less to the permanent opposition, whereof M. Caillaux is supreme chief.

Enemy's Terrible Losses."

Paris, June 5 (Delayed). Experts agree that the slowing down of the tighting is largely attributable to the enemy's terrible losses of the past three days. A new type of German aeroplane with four motors, mach of 950 horse-power and able carry over a toner of explosives, came down intact in the French.lince near Pernant

BRITAIN'S WAR EFFORT...

London, June 5 Lord Beaverbrook speaking as the principil guest at a luncheon of the Overseas Press Circle, emphasised the -great function the press exercised in these critical frees ard appealed for its fallest co-operation in winning the war. He sometimes wondered whether the Dominions fally resisted the stupendous contribution Britain was making to the war in blood, labour, material and treasure: and whether the eloquent fact was realised that Britain was raising 27 per cont of the war expenditure out of current taxation That was truly a great feat: Ho'concluded by emphasistar that this-war was as vital to the Dominions as the Napoleonic wars were to Britain If the Dominions contributed, as much to the present war; as Britain did to the Napaleid wars they would prove worthy of their forefathers.

THE IMPERIAL! WAR CABINET.

London, June 8.

An official statement gives the names of the following: who are attending the forthcoming Imperial War Cabinet --- and War Conference meetings: Canada, Sir Robert L. Barden, Minister of the Interior, Mr.-Meighen, Minister of Immigra tion, Mr. Calder, Fresident of the Privy Council, Mr. Rowell, Australia, Mr Hughes, Navy Minister, Mr. Joseph Cook; New Zealand Mr. Massey, Financo: Minister, Sir Joseph Ward; South Africa, South Railway Minister, Mr. Burton; New- foundland, Prime Minister,, Mr. Lloyd; India the Hon Edwin S: Montagu, Sir Batyindra Sinha.

MORE MEN NEEDED.

Rigorous Comb-Dut Proceeding.

Sir Auckland Geddes, speaking at Whitchurch, described the present week as the most critical of the war and said the casualties of both sides in the present battle were very- beary. Consequently, as a more urgent call for men than had boen ever made, the Government were now calling men from agriculture, coal mines, munition works and all essential industries which the Government had hitherto done its best. to conserve and develop. The calls, upon the rural parts were very heavy. Everything in the next few weeks "de- pended upon maintaining the armies.

Mea'from Ireland.

London, June 7

It is stated in Dublin that Lord French is engaged in the formation of a non-political committee of prominent Irishmen to conduct voluntary recruiting. It is understood that the military are taking altogether 75,000 ́miners from the pits for army service, 60 per cent of the men volunteer ing in the home districts.

In the House of Commons replying to Mr. Pringle Mr. Bonar Law said be could not say when the Home Rule Bill. would be introduced. It was an incórrect-inference from Lord French's, proclamation that the Government had ab- andoned the idea of conscription in Ireland Sir Edward. Carson asked: When will the legislation authorising the grant of land to Irish volunteers be introduced. Mr. Bonar Law replied that he hoped to give aconsidered reply next weekiv He believed there was a good deal of sunderstanding thereanent. What was being aimed at in Ireland was also aimed at in England.

WORKERS' AND THE WAR.

London June 5.

Mr. Henderson said the workers sought to unite with the German people to overthrow the system of militarism and imperialism and to convince the Germans that the free western democracies would not submit to a German peace as imposed on Ukraine and Rumania. If the 'Gez

mans still persisted in upholding Prussian militarism the war would be prolonged till one side was completely subjugat ed as the American Trades Unioniste desire.
