British casualties reported in the week ending today total 12,73 compared ith the aggregate of 16,981 reported in the previous week.

These are divided as follows: Killed or died of wounds Officers, 128; men, wounded or missing Officers, 304; men, 10,97. frostWages alberta crops considerably Hit Central and Northern Parts of Province, But is Not General give every opportunity for the fullest possible hearing and deal with claims made jjpon their merits. As regards employees in the west it may be pointed that those in receipt of minimum wage are actually receiving more than minimum wage which men asked to have fixed and those in receipt of maximum wage are receiving within a few dollars of the maximum asked, and if any allowance be made, as some certainly should (Jte made, for uniforms provided, the men in the maximum class are also receiving as much or more than the maximum asked. The position taken seems to be that the men are out on strike to maintain the absolutely inadmissable contention that the salaries in the civil service are to be determined neither by parliament nor by the government, but by an outside body, absolutely Irresponsible to parliament. This is clearly inconsistent with the simplest principles of our system of goveili-ment.

It cannot be too clearly stated, nor too clearly understood, that the proposal of a conciliation board is impossible of acceptance and will not accepted. (Signed) CHAS. J. DOHERTT.

Here are a few items that you'll never duplicate at the price. MONTREAL, July 27. "Utterly inadequate," was the declaration of railway men yesterday In respect of th 20 per cent, advance granted by the government in response to the application of the railways which saw their position was getting worse and worse with the constant demands of the men and no way of meeting these demands, except by appealing to the government which was not supposed to be too friendly. "The government could not possibly have done more at the present time than it has done," declared J. E.

Dal-rymple, vice-president of the Grand Trunk, in charge of traffic, "but the amount now given would not pay, after deducting the extra wages now demanded, the additional expenses which are now required for the running of the system." M. Maclinnes, freight traffic manager of the C.P.R.. said there was an Increase, of course, but 20 per cent Which had been mentioned in this connection, would, in the opinion of tbe Canadian Pacific, be quite inadequate for the purpose for which it was intended. TORONTO, July 27. There is widespread indignation in commercial circles here over the announcement from Ottawa of an increase in freight rates, which amounts to approximately twenty per cent, over all.

"Putting the matter humanely and in a few words, I think that it Is a crying shame the way this has been done," declared T. Marshall, traffic expert of the Board of Trade. "I think that Sir Henry Drayton might have had the decency at least to hold a session over the matter. Ultimately, of course, the consumers must pay." J. E.

The announcement last night of Premier Lloyd George that all workmen absent from factories on or after Monday will be deemed to have voluntarily placed themselves outside the munitions industry and that they will become liable to military service, was issued too lat to reach the bulk of the strikers last night. Consequently it was not generally known in the strike areas. It was, however, communicated to the strike leaders at some centres bj newspapermen to whom the leaders declared they were confident that the strikers would not be intimidated or driven to resume work by the government threat.

The leaders added that such a possibility had been considered fully before hand. No reports reached London last night of an extension of the strike and the great bulk of the workers still remaining unaffected. Such important centres as London, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham and Hudersfleld for instance, remain cool. Press Approves. Morning newspapers here comment on the government's announcement mostly with approval, although they recognize the decision is a grave one and contend that it -will be generally endorsed by the country.

A certain uneasiness is manifested by home papers, which while admitting that a strike at the present time is indefensible, think that a settlement might have been reached by a discussion and a compromise. LONDON, July 27. The family of Nicholas Romanoff, the former Russian emperor, is safe in a monastery in Siberia, at Abalak. according to a pentral News despatch from Amsterdam. This town is on the Irtiss river, and a noted place of pilgrimages.

The official government crop report issued weekly by the Alberta department of agriculture, states that up to today "from reports received by the department," considerable damage has been done by frost throughout the central and northern portions of the province during the past week. The full extent of damage cannot be ascertained at present, but the indications are that It is not general, but more or less irregular. In many districts very little damage is apparent and in others the indications are more serious. large portion of the southern part of the province was visited by heavy rains during the past few days, which will do much to revive late crops and pasture lands.

Sufficient hay and pasture lands have been located in the northern districts to take care of all applications from the south.
