I was pulled up on board the Badger, and it was then that my strength gave way entirely.They carried me down to tho First Lieutenant\u2019s room and we had every possible attention.The commander came and spoke to me, and wanted me to lie down.He brought me some dry soft clothes for Peter and they all could not have been more thoughtful.We were landed at Portsmouth at 5 p.m.Peter had no shoes.He had lost them, and what few clothes he had were in rags, and I was a mass of bleeding bruises.\u201cWe were taken to the Speedwell Hotel, where again every comfort was found for us, and we were treated with every kindness by everybody.After staying the night there we left for London about 8 o\u2019clock the next afternoon.Of course I lost everything except Peter and my mon-cy.\u201cI quite forgot to say that the destroyer the very next afternoon caught the submarine that sank us, and got one German officer and two men as prisoners.\t.\tHow I would like to torture them! .They must have

financial situation in this country.| \u201cIn the latter half of the year,\u201d says the reports, \u201cowing to the German U-boat war, navigation met with such dangers as to become practically a gamble in which the stakes were life and property.Part of the navigation stopped altogether and imports were very considerably restricted, partly by destruction or seizure of cargoes, partly by refûsal of exports to Denmark by the belligerent powers, conditions accentuated by the entrance of the United States in-5 to the war.| \u201cDenmark's trade balance during the war has been good.Our agriculture and navigation have earned profits which have more than covered the expenditure, and our exports have exceeded our imports.We have therefore, been able to pay our foreign debts and we have great outstanding debts abroad in bills, in credits and In foreign securities.This is all very well, but it would have been more fortunate if for part of the profits we had been able to obtain the articles which we wqjit, and which are now more urgently needed than ever before.As is well known, this has not be\u2019en possible.We have not been masters in our own house as regards imports, nor even as regards exports.Only when it was absolutely necessary have the latter been stopped, for export prohibition always impairs one group of bom# interests and exposes us to the risk | of further restrictions of the import : of articles in which the shortg-ge may i be even more fatal, important poM-tical considerations also come into ! play here.\u201cThe general level of price® has 'been raised in Denmark and Sweden by B0 per cent, in Norway by more than 7-5 per cent., and in England by about 100 per cent.-«- YOUTHFUL PEERS AT ETON SCHOOL Boys Have Fallen Heir to 1 itles Through

Nov.1.\u2014(Special) \u2014The reopening of the Academy took place on the evening of the 23rd In the Town Hall.It was a very successful affair.The people showed their appreciation of the work of the Academy, as there jwere about 350 in the hall.A patriotic play, \u201cThe Key of Jack Canuck\u2019s Storehouse,\u201d was an excellent performance by sixty senior pupils, and was applauded again and again.A notable feature of a very interesting programme was its varied character, the entire student body participating, even in the primary department, which was much enjoyed.The boys of the Academy took a more prominent part than usual.The hoys\u2019 chorus was an addition to the enjoyment of the evening.Brief addresses were delivered by the Revs.E.K.Wilson and A.E.Teale, principally in commending the fine entertainment of the evening and in words of encouragement to the pupils and the teaching staff.The chairman of the evening referred to the flourishing condition of the school, as the attendance in theprin-cipal\u2019s room and all the higher departments is a record in numbers in the history of the Academy.Again, Mr.Gale pointed out the advantages of a consolidated school in connection with the Academy, and the greater service the school would be to WaterVille and vicinity, as soon as a consolidated school could be established here.Mr.W.G.MacDougall, B.S.A., then delivered a very interesting address, along the lines of introducing practical agriculture in the school.Mr.MacDougall then presented the numerous prizes won by the pupils of the school j at the school fair held at Lennoxville.The staff of the school consists of 1 Miss I.J.MacMillan, M.A., honor graduate of the University of Manitoba, principal; Miss E.S.Robert, assistant to the principal and

Report at once for Service or Claim Exemption Under the Military Service Act, all men in Class One are soldiers today, absent with leave and without pay.Failure to obey the law amounts to DESERTION and can be punished as such.Class One includes bachelors and widowers without children (not otherwise excepted) who were 20 years old on the 13th October, 1917, and whose 34th birthday did not occur before January 1st, 1917.DO IT TODAY! The rush in the last few days may be such that in the hurry and stress a number of men may fail to comply with the requirements under the Act.That will not be recognized as an excuse, as every man is being given ample time to report for service, or claim exemption.GO TO YOUR POST OFFICE TODAY and ask for a form for reporting for service or for claiming exemption.Understand, it is a matter of LAW that all the men in Class One must report for service or claim exemntion not later than November 10th, 1917.Issued by the Military .Service Council LAY TELEPHONE CABLES UNDER FIRE So many Sherbrooke boys are signallers that this account of the work of the Signal Companies might interest people.The almost complete dependence of large crossing, or perhaps a brook, the cable is not buried but borne overhead.In this case it becomes the duty of Nos.6 and 7 to ride up to the assistance, of Nos.4 and 5.Between them they erect two poles,each eighteen feet high, one on either side of the crossing\u2014an operation which takes 6 or 6 minutes at least, as the holes have to he jumped for the poles.The cables are laid at the rate of about six miles an hour.\u201cIn the trenches, of course, the method is entirely different.Since horses and wagons are not practicable, modern warfare on communication by telegraph and telephone has often been commented upon of late.The work of the men who make it possible, by laying cables under fire, is described in The Popular Science Monthly (New York, June) by Capt.A.P.Corcoran, late of the British Army.This writer has returned from the front, where he witnessed the service that he here describes.It appeals to him, he says, as \u201cpeculiarly romantic,\u201d and indeed these electric cables are the nerve-organs that give the thrill to warfare, even as our own nerves respond to external stimulation through the medium of our bodily senses.The fighting men represent the muscles of war; they can strike, and strike Hard; but they can do so effectively only when stimulated and directed by the messages made possible by these cable-layers.Writes Captain Corcoran : \u201cWithout communication, of course, war could not be waged.For a while the electric flask lamp was used.It took the form of a small, four-volt bulb, placed in the barrel of a rifle.The rifle was sighted directly at the receiver, who was the only person in the position to see it.But this method of communication was too slow.Now the wireless, the telephone, and telegraphing buzzer are used.\u201cFrom General Headquarters np to Brigade Headquarters the method of connecting up these instruments is by air-line.But the Brigade Headquarters up to Battalion Headquart- Zu Zum Zay.\u201d Girls\u2019 chorus.Swedish Folk Dance.Boys\u2019 Chorus.Recitations, Charlie

prize*.God Save the King.ers and all along the line of the trenches cable ha* to be used.\u201cA cable detachment consists of ten men, eight horses (four riders and four draft), and a wagon, the leader and the near wagon-horse having drivers mounted.The wagon carries a number of poles for bridging crossings, and four drums of cable, each containing five miles of No.14 insulated copper wire.The inside end of each drum is connected with the wagon and contact is made with a telephone on the box seat.\u201cSuppose the cable is to be laid between points A and B.The loose end is paid out and man No.8 (Nos, 9 and 10 being mounted on the draft horses) connects it with a telephone and remains at point A while the wagon moves off at a trot.\u201cMan No.1 now rides on ahead, to pick out the most suitable course to travel.Man No.2 works the telephone on the wagon, constantly keeping in touch with point A.Man No.3 sits in the wagon, easing the cable off the drum.Nos.4 and 5 likewise sit in the wagon, armed with mattock and spade, ready at any moment they come to a crossing to jump down and dig a small trench.This is usually four inches deep, the object, of course, being to bury the cable out of danger from passing vehicles or horse-hoofs that might cut it.Having concealed it, the men tie each end to some standing object close to the trench, so that the cable will not be pulled out of its grave.That operation completed \u2014 it usually takes three or four minutes \u2014 the wagon again moves on.\u201cNow behind the wagon there follow always two riders\u2014 Nos.6 and 7, each armed with a crook stich.This consists of a piece of broom-handle, fitted at the end with an iron hook, and is used to lift the cable on the tops of hedges or small trees or other objects which might help to keep it off the ground.With a lift of the arm, No.6 swings the cable on high-but, should he chance to miss any of it, No.7 does his work.\u201cShould the wagon come to a very what is known as a \u2018man-pack\u2019 takes their place.\u201cThis pack consists of four men.No.1, whose duty is to pay off the cable, carries his equipment strapped to his back.The cable is done up on a reel, consisting of about 2,000 yards of 18-gage, a smaller one than that used in the wagon set.\u201cNo.2 leads the way, fixing little wooden pegs in the sides of the trenches.No.1, of course, follows on behind, paying out his cable as he goes Nos.3 and 4 follow' No.1, their duty being to tie the cable to the wooden pegs affixt by No.2.\"In the trenches, naturally, there is always the danger that the cable may be cut through by shell-fire.Various devices have been introduced to lessen this danger.The method of U.S.STEAMER SENT U-BOAT TO BOTTOM Was Afterwards Attacked By Unseen Submarine and Torpedoed.An Atlantic Port, Nov.1\u2014Three hours before the American steamship Lewis Luckenbach was torpedoed and sunk by an unseen submarine, or October 11th- naval gunners aboard the vessel planted a shot between the twin periscopes of an enemy submarine and sent her to the bottom, according to an officer of the Luckenbach, who arrived here yesterday.The Luckenbach, a steel screw vessel of 3,906 tons, was sunk while bound for Havre, with a general cargo.The captain, nine members of the crew, and one of the naval gunners aboard were reported lost in the sinking of the ship.-¦» - SUBSISTANCE OF GERMANY AS SURED.BERLIN, Nov.1, (via Amsterdam)\u2014Speaking today to a congress of workmen Herr Braun- Under Secretary of the German Food Department told the delegates that the subsistence of Germany again had been assured for the fourth winter of the war.The German potato crop, he said, was between 4,000,000 and 4,-600,000 pounds above the estimate, and the com supply for the wimer had already been fully secured.laying cable in loops, one of which will always preserve the contact tho the others be cut through, has been found most effective in actual fighting.\"Technical and safe as all these tasks sound, they are nevertheless attended by their own difficulties and dangers.When the enemy artillery i and airplane scouts are busy, they | find a cable-wagon an excellent tar-! get.\u201cFor instance, during the retreat from Mens a cable-wagon was sent out to re-establish communication between units severed during the retirement of the troops.Overhead circles a German airplane in search of prey.It got the first wagon.Another wagon was sent out.The airplane got it, too.Then a third essayed a task.And this one, all of whose men expected, of course, to be blown sky-high, succeeded where the others had failed.Such is the luck of battle .\u201cIt may be romantic to do battle.Battle rouses your blood, and the instinct of self-preservation will always help you in a fight.No disparagement of the fighters\u2014 but I take my hat off to the man who can do a cable-laying job under fire.\u2019\u2019 SHERBROOKE DAILY
