The war news is given much publicity Occasionally however a letter giving a resume of 1he adventures of an individual comes to hand and is read with interest. Such a letter has been received by a young man in this city who prefers that his name and the name of his fighting friend be not published. The lctter is very interesting. It as follows: is “Dear Frank:— “I was very glad to receive your letter today and glad to hear you are getting on well. T often thought of you while in the trenches. Well Trank, T have had a very rough time joined the first week the war broke out and have been over here a year now. I was wounded by a shell exploding a few feet from me, blowing me up. T re- ceived a concussion of the spine and had both legs paralized and several That was on May 19 so vou see I have been in the hospital feur months. My legs have recovered cufficiently to allow me to walk about a little. I go out to tea three or four times a week in motor cars and know & lot of people here now. I am the ¢nly Caradian at this hospital. The people think a lot of the Canadians over here. They did such good work in Belgium and France. The war news has been none’ too bright lately but the Germans are getting an awful rattling up all along the line. The Germans have been preparing for war for vears. Even at that they have no nerve and are very cowardly in the open and in bayonet charges they show very little fight. They are all right behind trenches and with their artillery. They are very inhumain and torture their prisoners like the Indian savages years ago. Some of our boyvs were crucified at Ypres, being bayo- netted and stuck to a barn door with Phayonets and left there to die in agony. T am in the machine gun sec- tion, am corporal and have charge of cne gun and eight men. We can fire 500. rounds in one minute, the corporal doing the firing. One man feeds the gun and the rest carry am- munition. We have six guns in the battalion and 58 men in our gun sec- tion. In the battle of Ypres where ion was surrounded we lost 40 out of 1 was the only corporal left and all our guns were blown to pieces in front of us before we left: In a battalion of 1,100 men we only | had 198 left. The Canadian casual- ties were 9,000 in all. The Germans lost about twice as many. The dead and dying were strewn around for miles and that is what T had to crawl over to get out when we lost our guns and were surrounded. T would ile down behind a corpse and take a pot at the Germans with my rifle and then move on. I must have done this for miles. I had nothing to eat for three days except some biscuits and some water which I got from a brook which wag filled with the dead. I was so weak and dry I could hardly walk end didn't care whether I lived or died. Finally I came across a bat- tery of artillery where I spent a good right and had lots to eat. I was an swful sight and covered with blood and soaking wet. The next day and night was spent in resting and each day someone would come wandering in until thgre were thirteen of us. That’s all that ever did get back. I had two of my men with me when I started and one was shot down be- hind be. The other thought he would take a short cut but he never came kack. All this happened between April 21 and 28 at Ypres and L.onge- marche. Shortly after we made an attack on the Germans and cleaned them all out of that district, killing them in thousands and losing very few ourselves. I was also in the battle of Save $2 You Can Use Three New Shirts Today we have a special sale of new and particularly fine lot of $2.00 Shirts, Three of ’Em for $4 It's $6.00 worth of shirts and we cannot sell less than three to a per- son at this price This is a real shirt bargain.

A smoker and social will follow the de- gree work.

Razanofski testified that he was in Skritulski’'s saloon last night when Ravinski, who is a striker from North & Judd's, accused him of be- ing a “sucker” because he remaineda | at work and knocked him down as well as administered a few violent kicks.
