Primeval State of Civilization Will be Restored, Man Will Face Man VVlth Wolilil': l’erocity A despatch from London says: Ger- man newspapers which reached here Wednesday publish long extracts from the speech made by Maximilian Harden, editor of tlie Zukunft, at a public meeting in Berlin on February 5. He is quoted as saying: “We are yet unconvinced that we are fighting with our bat-ks to the wall. As soon as we reach this con- clusion, there will be war Without mercy or quarter. The primeval state of civilization will be. restored. Man will face man with wolf-like ferOcity. “A TAB i’aigée? paring Fail .- R l Alan (R QUARTElll Ting the ‘Europe' ‘ mean {it is jwliich conjures up the menace of deâ€" lstruction.

A dcspatch from London says: While the German newspapers are telling of the Kaiser and his armies marching on from victory and are re- lating daily new exploits calculated to stir the people to enthusiasm, the fact that, Germany actually is on the verge of starvation is becoming daily more apparent. This conclusion is not founded on the statements of alleged “neutrals,” whose impressions neces- sarily are biased, but is based on re- ports of the actual conditions as re- lated by the German press. The theory is advanced that the Berlin Government encourages the publication of alarming reports on the food, situation with a view to mis- leading the enemy. This is obviously absurd. The German press is filled not only with'reports of a most seri- ous food crisis, but with advertise- ments of substitutes for missing ar- ticles of diet and the feverish activi- 7 ties of scientists seeking to discover new foodstuffs. ___...~._-l’-â€". .__.- ZEPPELIN 'REPRISALS WOULD BE A CALAMITY A despatch from London says: The Lord High Chancellor, Baron Buck- master, speaking on Saturday night at Keighley, stroneg condemned the suggested reprisals for Zeppelin raids. He said: “There could be no greater tragedy in the black tragedy of this time, than when we had con- quered the Germans, we should have moulded ourselves and our behavior upon the very model we set out to break.

The eligible bachelors between the ages of 20' and 30 years to report for service, beginning March 3, was placed in the mails. In London alone 40,000 copies of the proclamation were distributed. Simultaneously large posters with final recruiting appeals appeared in Trafalgar Square and other prominent . places in the-city. They read: “Will you march too, or wait until March two?" The day was marked by a lessening of activity among the re- cruiting sergeants. The big Strand ,recruiting ofl'ices near Charing Cross were closed at noon. ‘â€"‘o'“ ‘â€""_ CALGARY WILL HAVE NO GERMAN EMPLOYED l Big Restaurants Wrecked by Mob of Soldiers 1 l l A despatch from Calgary, Alta., 'says: A mob of several hundred sol- diers completely wrecked. the White iLunch Restaurant on Eighth Avenue east on Thursday nighft, following up the work of destruction by wrecking the premises of the same concern on ‘ A rumor that the .manager had dismissed returned sol- idiers who had been hired as waiters, and had replaced them with Germans was responsible for the attack.

Command- ing oflicers of each division say that the men are enlisting now at a most‘ satisfactory rate. The continued keeping up of the flow of men to the colors is all the more remarkable in- view of the fact that up to the end pf last year Canada had already on- listed about 210,000 men. umber recruited to date, including fl’icers, is now over the 240,000 mark. l‘o the. total number the lst mili- tary District (London) has contribut- ed a little over 20,000 men, the 2nd District (Toronto) about 54,000 men, the 3rd District (Kingston) 3 little ____.â€"â€"-â€"â€"- “If the world insists upon (lcspis-i will lose all its sense and" ing.

The progress in the latter district, {which is between Rovno and Lutsk, {is another sign of the resumption of ’the Russian offensive, which came to ,an abrupt halt a month ago. when the l Germans apparently succeeded in ‘ci‘ecting such firm fortifications that further attempts at an advance on the part of the Russians became a |waste of energy and ammunition. i It is considered significant that a new and more formidable Russian of- ifensive is being launched against the isame positions, and with initial suc- ‘.cesscs. This is explained by most of lthe military obserers as due to the new power and efl’cctiveness of the ‘Russian artillery, which recently has shown marked improvement on all fronts. ‘ The Germans, evidently surprised by the fierceness of the new Russian onslaught, which promises to extend to a general initiative along the whole line. have been forced at several points in Galicia to retire to their second line of defence. The Czar has arrived at the front. #4 .- ITALY IS INVITING WAR WITH GERMANY A despatch from Rome says: Al- most coincident with the arrival of Premier Briand of France in Rome an absolute prohibition of the intro- duction of German imports into Italy has been proclaimed. It is evident that the decree, which is unmistak- ably a hostile act, was made purposely with the object of provoking Ger- many to a declaration of war. The fmost prominent statesmen and mem- i bers of Parliament in Italy openly preâ€" dict a declaration of war on Germany which will be no longer delayed, be- cause it is now indispensable to clear up the situation, both with respect to allies and enemies.
