LONDON, Feb. 2.-During the last
few days the Germans have been mak- ing desperate efforts to break llie deadlock which existed for so long on both the Eastern and Western fronts. They have delivered a series ot' attacks, always preceded by artil- lery activity on the allied lines ln Flaiiilers and France., and while in al- most every case they have thus won preliiniiiary advaiitngc, before the fighting concluded the French. Britlsli or Bclgiiins have been able to regain thc treiit-hes temporarily lost and in some cases occupy German positions.
in these attacks according to re-
ports ol' the British and French gen- cral staffs, the Germans have suffered scvcre losses.
German artillery has been subject-
ing thc Belgian position in Flanders to a severe bombardment which stig- gests thnt the moment has arrived for another effort to get across the Yser, and thence to tlié’l<‘rench coast ports. Iii return the French bombarded the riiilway station at Noyon, one ol’ thc German military centres behind thc c.il\'uiiccd lines.
More serious attacks, however, have
liccii made against tho ltussian lines iii Central Poland. Faced by flanking movements both North aiiil South, Field Marshal Von llindenburg made it desperate effort, which appurciitly is to be renewed, to break through to Warsaw und tliris not. only gain ii grcut military iiiiil political ndvaiitnirc for Germany but at the same time to release the pressure on Hungary and East Prussia in each of which regions liussiaii troops arc slowly pushing for- ward

A royal decree issued to-day sus-
pends eiitircly the duty on wheat and other cereals and flour. Previously' the duly on wheat had been reduced from $1.50 to 60 cents per quintal (220.4 pound); uii corn from 23 cents to 10 cents; on rye from 90 cents to 40 cents; on flour. from $2.25 lo $1.05 and on cornmeal from 63 cents to 20 cents.
Notwithstanding the decree and the
measures adopted by the Government a large meeting was held at the La- bor Excbange yesterday at which Tn- flammatory speeches were made in protest against the high price of bread. lt was charged that the high price was due to the Government being un-_ able to prevent contraband wheat from going to the belligcrents.
A resolution was passed at the meet-
ing which declared that the agitation would continue until the people are able to "lmpose on the speculators ,what thc Government is unable to im- pose uiiilcr the law."
Thc resolution was considered to
iueaii the forcible confiscation of wheat and its distribution among the people.

SECOND CONTINGENT
T0 LEAVE IN MARCH.
OTTAWA. Feb. 1.-lt is stated that
the third Canadian contingent will not go to England iii one division, but in- stead will bc sent over in individual regiments or brigades as they may be nccdod_,to,_eupply vacancies caused by casualties. The second contingent. however, will go as a body to Eug- lnnd. probably in March. These will make, with the 30,000 already there. a total of 50.000 men from Canada in England. When this army is in the field to maintain it in some quarters it will keep Canada busy to fill the va- cancies in the ranks.
Owing to the more extended train-
ing being received in Canada, it is be- lieved that the second contingent will not require the same attention in Eng- land as has been given to the llrst overseas division now at Salisbury Plain.
