LONDON, May 5.-Russian reports

concerning the recent fighting ill Western Galicia are being accepted by British military critics as reducing the German claims to victory in this battle to more just proportions. Fol-

Ilowing his usual custom, the Grand

Duko Nicholas, Commander-in-Chief, has not hesitated to admit a reverse and confirms the German statement that his antagonist succeeded in break- ing across the Dunn-jec River. But

the `Grand Duke adds he is holding then fast on the bank of this stream and seems to intimate that he has little anxiety concerning the ultimate outcome of the fierce fighting which has been going on in this region for a week past.

They are the first men to reach here since the fighting, and relate striking- incidents in connection with the land- ig of the Allies’ forces at the Straits at Sari Bohr. The men were so eager to get ashore _that they jumped from the small boats and waded in the water. Once ashore they rushed three ridges in succession and a running battle ensued for three miles in the woods. The enthusiastic invaders rushed the Turks on the ends of their hayonets, hurling them over their head. Continuing, the men relate that with the arrival of reinforcements the ridges were carried by storm in the first rush.

The concentrated Turkish fire dur-

ing the beginning of the fighting was terrific. Shrapnel gun fire and rifle fire caused very heavy casualties among the Allies, but the wounds of malty men are slight. They will soon be on the firing line.

BISNllP'S LEITEN UN ABSTININEI PLIDSI

Below is the text of the 'Temperance

circular letter’ issued by ills Lordship the Bishop and read in all the Catholic churches of the diocese of Charlotte- town last Sunday, when splendid ser- mons were preachedz-

“ In view of the many evils which

have ever been the result of intemper- ance, we have always regarded it as a. duty to exhort our people to the practice of total abstinence from ia- toxicating liquors. In so doing, we have been animated not merely by social or humanitarian motives, but principally by solicitude for the eter- nal intereshs of the flock committed to our care. Hence we have desired to see our various temperance organ- isations and notably the League of the Cross encouraged and aided in its bsnetlcent work; and have encourag- ed the many children whom we have confirmed to pledge themselves to -voluntary abstinence from alcoholic beverages. In all this work we rejoice to say that we have ever found in our clergy faithful and zealous co- operators. , At the present time, as you have already learned from the press. a movement for voluntary abstinence from alcoholic beverages has been inaugurated from patriotic motives, following the example of our illus- trious King George, who has banished alcoholic beverages from his house- hold. To this movement which cannot but redound to the moral and material welfare of our people we have given our approval and support. We desire moreover to seo it extended to all por. tions of thediocesc,alld we request you to urge upon the members of your ,flock the benefits to be derived from total abstinence.

I have directed that a number of

printed pledges be sent to each pastor for the signature of all those who desire to take the pledge from intoxi- cating Ilquor during the period of the war. These signed pledges may' be kept by the pastor as a record. or used according to his discretion. We would, however, if possible, be pleased to learn the number of those who have in this manner taken this pledge.

We express an earnest hope that

you will profit by the present occasion to expose to your flock the evil of intemperance, and to exhort them to practice total abstinence from intoxi-

llg liquors, not only for patriotic

Carlyle, who was taken into custody on a charge of using the mulls to defraud, told the authorities, they say, that he is a bigamist and that when the United States Govemment is through with him. he expects to be surrendered to England and sllot by that Government for deserting in time of war.

EIJUNINI" BUNLLSUIIE

A large audience assembled in the

Opera House last evening to witness the five-act play entitled "For King and Colmtry" by Mr. Frank Oliver. produced under the auspices of the Sons of England in aid of their Pa- triotic Fund. Tile play was exceed- ingly disappointing from a dramatic and patriotic point of view. Instead of a serious drama as the name seem- ed to indicate, it turned out to be a. burlesque admirably adapted to dis- play Mr. Ollver's inimitable eccentricl- ties. The audience had plenty oppor- tunlty for laughter, but sometimes it was laughter to restrain tears of in- dignation, it was a pity to see the Kings uniform displayed to so much ridicnlc and amusement, and had there been a censor in Charlottetown, it is certain the play would not have been allowed to he produced in the form it was given. What: 'little-plot there was centred round the rather discreditable and impossible act ol' disloyalty on the part of a British offl- cer wllo sacrificed the interests of his country in the interests of his Ger- men sweetheart. Little else need be said about it; the pity is that so many capable actors and actresses of ster- ling ability and considerable hlstrio- nic power should have devoted their time and talent to the production ol' such 11 burlesque. especially at this critical stage in the Empire's history. The actors made the most of their parts. and had they not been dressed in the King's khaki, would have de- served unstinted praise for affording much merriment and amusement. But tho hearls`of the audience woro not attuned to comedy-especially at the expense ot' our brave defenders in the battlefields oi' Flanders.
