During this period the Germans lost 439 machines, and the allies, according to the claims of the enemy, 271. It is impossible to resist the conclusion that the air reports of the German main headquarters are, like their mili- tary communiques, exaggerated even when not quite false. Our general headquarters in France is the only one of the belligerents which acknowl- edges its own losses.

It is regarded by the Senate as by far the most potent of all the food legislation considered by Congress, and is interpreted by Senators as carrying the real solution of the food problem. Canadian Headquarters in France‘ (via London), June 3.â€"In what isi officially spoken of as a minor opera- tion, but which was really a bit of brilliant fighting involving careful preparation and a final swift attack, the Canadians early this (Sunday) morning captured the electric station southwest of Lens, on the outskirts of the village of Coulotte, and a stretch of the enemy front exceeding a mile, with a depth at its greatest point of over eight hundred yards. The men who won this notable victory were veteran troops, who, six weeks ago, carried “The Pimple” by storm. Their depleted ranks had been reinforced by drafts from England, and in this morning’s engagement these troops proved their fitness to maintain Can- ada‘s reputation at the front.

A majority of the mem- bers of the American Red Cross unit, officers, nurses and men, attended. All the American members of the Cana- dian force in the London command were allowed leave so that they could be present. The colors were deposited on the altar after being handed to Dean Inge by a color party of Amer- ican citizens enlisted in the Canadian force, who had come over with the first Canadian division. The standards were carried from the altar to the north transept while “Onward, Chris- tian Soldiers,” was sung by the choir and congregation. The colors were de- posited in the north transept, and there will remain until another cere- mony is performed, when a party re- moves them and conveys them over- sea again. ‘On Wednesday this legion deposited its colors in St. Paul’s Cathedral. The ‘even American Legion on Leave From Front Conduct Notable Ceremony. A despatch from London says: When the first Canadian expeditionary force was formed many Americans crossed the border and enlisted for service in Europe. There was a sprinkling from every state in the Union. They were drafted into spe- cial battalions, and for a time wore the distinctive badges which proclaim- ed their nationality. Representations, however, were made by the United States Government to have the badge altered and the men merged into the Canadian force. After over two years’ waiting they may now reclaim their nationality. These battalions will be styled “The American Legion.” The title is unofficial, but means a great deal. U. S.

Deductlng this figure from tlya German total would mean (if it does not include, as the enemy’s monthly summary frequently does, machines brought down on the east~ earn-Balkan fronts) that the French air service lost 185 aeroplanes, nearly twice as many as the Royal Flying Corps.

Both armies have done famously. The second army has held all its gains on Kuk and Vodice heights, and even extended them, while it has de- vfeated with signal success numerous powerful counterâ€"attacks by the ene- my, to whom the loss of this position has evidently been a most unpleasant surprise. The whole crest of the line of hills on the left bank of the Isonzo is now in Italian occupation from be- tween Vodice and Monte Santo to the height between Plava and Daskla, while Monte Santo itself, though not yet captured, is being seriously as- ‘ sailed.
