better effort to hold their Positions, for, except just in front of Dvinsk and in Valhynia, the Germans claim to have made no progress, while between those two Points ünd in Galicia, according to a Berlin official report, all the attacking is being done by the Russians.Indeed, the Russian troops, by count ering the attack which Field Marshal von Hindenburg launched at Minsk from the northwest,

tbe earlier battles of the war, the victory in the latest fighting was mainly a question of which side had the biggest supply of shells.Our supply was unlimited, but the Germans had to economize in ammunition, therefore they lost,\u201d writes a London artillery officer in a letter giving a detailed account of the past week\u2019s battle in northern France.\u201cOn Tuesday we began the work of ; wire cutting and parapet pounding, j Eighteen pounders with shrapnel and i howitzers with high ex; losives start-j ed at dawn and continued throughout ; the day systematically smashing the \u2018German defences.At night the Ger-1 mans came out to repair the damage but were swept back by the most prodigal of machine gun fire.Wednesday was a repetition of Tuesday.Wednesday night repair work again was attempted with tremendous German losses.Thursday was the same story.\u201cOn Friday we intensified our fire.All along our section of the front the German wire was down and parapets were badly breached.The Germans had brought up more guns, but the weight of our inexhaistible supplies of shells began to tell.\u201cThe superiority of our aeroplane equipment was also evident.\u201cOn Friday night the machine gr firs was like rain, falling constantly on the German positions and prevent-, ! ing repair work on the wire.3,000 SHELLS IN FIVE MINUTES.\"Then at 4.25 o\u2019clock Saturday morning the real cannonade began.Along our section, of say five miles, there must have been 3,000 shells fired in five minutes.The bombardment ly, \u2019 \u2019.tg: \u2022 i thing in the history of the war.The flash of guns was so continuous as to give an almost unbroken light in the grey dawn.EARTH SHOOK AS IN AGUE \u201cThe earth shook as in continuous ague.We had guns everywhere and all were firing their hardest at carefully registered German ti enches.For every yard of trench lout shells fell within five minutes, and each shell had a radius of destruction of at least twenty yards.INFANTRY BEGAN WORK \u201cAfter five minutes there was a second\u2019s pause.The guns were sv,\u2019itched to longer ranges and the infantry began its work.Now it was the gun\u2019s business to search out the enemy\u2019s supports.This second bombardment was not so intense, hut was fierce enough to shake the earth.It lasted full thirty minutes, and then the gens slackened and we began to get news of how things were going.CARRIED FIRST TRENCH WITH EASE \u201cOur men had carried thu first i trench with ease, the second with | some loss and we were now\u2019 engaged in subduing the trench forts that still held out.At noon the task set for our section had been accomplished.During the afternoon it became evident that German reinforcements had arrived but we held our gains.\u201d Watching Big Battle a Shell Smashed Automobile ts Pieces WHEN REBROAOHKD ABOUT RUNNING INTO DANGER HE REPLIED THAT HE HAD PI,ENT\u2019.OF BROTHERS Paris, Octob: - 2 \u2014 (Special)\u2014An officer attached to the British staff, who returned to Paris yesterday, stated that the Prince of Wales had a miraculous e.oape from death dur-j ing the battle c.f Lops.Strictly accurate details are that the Prince was -speeding towards the ' front in an automobile.He ordered the driver to pn: up at the foot of a knoll while the Prince mounted and watched the progress of the fighting through his binoculars.While he was standing on the hill, a big shell fell op the automobile utterly destroying He car and blowing the driver to pieces.Reproached with running into danger which the heir to the throne must aT«*;d, the Prince replied, \u201cWell, I have plenty of brothers.\u201d Mtnruu.law in (steam All Men Up to tbe Age ot Fifty-eight Y8?rs Being Mobilized PRO-GERMAN MANIFESTATIONS ARE REPORTED IN BULGARIAN

October 2 \u2014 (Special) \u2014 From the accounts given by wounded soldiers and others who have returned from the front the story of the French charge which marked the critical point of the new offensive move-, ment, Is being gradually pieced to gether.One point on which there is general agreement Is the great speed with-which the movement was exe-ci.ted.A colonial infantryman,, who was wounded in the figuring between Sou-ain and Suippes in the Champagne, says: \u2014 \"Our captain said to us, at the moment for the charge, \u2018you\u2019ll have to run hard, for we are in the first wave of men,\u2019 and we did run.When we came to the first trench we leaped over it with a stab at the occupants.You could hear nothing but the hoarse breathing of your neighbor and the roar of the guns.Bullets whistled about everybody\u2019s ears from one side, evidently from machine guns.\u201cOur captain shouted, \u2018stop at that redoubt.\u2019 We were just in time.Three machine guns were pumping away at us and several others were being brought, out of a tunnel.We hayon-neted them back.\u201cYou\u2019ve got to he quick in a charge like that.A second lost means death.It is speed alone that counts.\u201d GERMANS PUT UP STUBBORN FIGHT Lieut C-, of the Colonial infan-.try, who was wounded in the Artois District, protests at stories that Germans surrendered without resisting.\u201cIt is only at the last moment, when they realize that their fire cannot stop us, that they ground their arms and throw up their hands \u201d The l ieutenant said even then most of them don\u2019t give in but fight on with trench knives and revolvers.\u201cIt was in one of these encounters that I was wounded.I was fighting) with two Germans.I killed one of them, who had slit open my arm with his knife.A sergeant behind me kill-led the other.\u201d GUIDE BOARDS THROUGHOUT EASTERN TOWNSHIPS LIKELY Matter Taken Up by Associated Boards.County ~ and Municipal Councils Indicate Readiness to Co-opeh

the establishment of guide hoard-s at the intersection of highways, which had been before the Associated Boards of Trade at Uiair March and June meetings waa again brought up at the Knowlton meeting last week.At the previous meeting the executive were authorized to communicate with the various county councils, who under the Municipal Code constitute the only authority which can compel the various municipal councils in the county t0 erect such signboards, with a view to their esta blishment throughout the Townships.Very encouraging and favorable replies were received from the different secretaries.RICHMOND COUNTY.The Richir«ond County Council, reported that twelve local mayors wor0 in favor of the project and that the question would receive further consideration.A'RTHABASKA.The reply from the County Council of Arthahaska stated that body before mjeting A bye-law for the purpose had passed a resolution expressing a desire that every local council would constnt to erect those guidepqsts, ae the cost would be less for the local councils to do the work than for the county council.SHERBROOKE COUNTY.The Sherbrooke County Council reported favorably on the matter in-Wmating that action would probably he taken at the next meeting.MEGANTIO COUNTY.Megantic County Council replied that all the local councils in .he county had been asked to erect sign-hoards.WOLFE COUNTY.The Wolfe County Council reported that si the September meeting a'! the majors present had promised to lay the matter before their respective councils, and «or.»! had already put up guidehoards.STANSTE1AD COUNT ;.Strn tead County Council wrote to the efiect that a resolution had been passed to establish guidehoards throughout the county.COMPTON COUNTY.The reply from Compton County Council indicated that such sign-hoards were placed throughout t,hH County.Two of the secretaries raised the question of size, co*t, and the best roeans of procuring the boards.The Associated Boards trill issue n fur- ther letter in this connection, aftei making aU inquiries of discussion.Rev.E).M.Taylor supported the idea which he said was common in the United States and ©very travel 1er recognized the Value of signboards.Remarking that it would b© well to see that the signs indicated the distances accurately, Mr.Taylor gave some amusing instances of erratio signboards in Brow© district.Mr.E.Fleury explained that the figures given by Mr.Taylor wer© due to a sort of municipal rivalry to get nearer to Knowlton and to a mistake on the Part of the painter.Mr.j.j.Fitzgerald, Hherbrooke, suggested that the committee might go into the matter of prices and specifications and place same before the various County Councils, urging Ihcmi to accept same at th© December meeting with the view to the oreo tion of the boards in March.Mr.E.E.Akhurst, Coaticook told of some steel enamelled name plates which had been recently introduced for Coaticook streets at a cost of thirty five cents each regardless of the name.Mr.J.N.Davignon was satisfied that enamel led signs were the cheapest and best.He thought every mpn v.h > tried to destroy a sign with a gun should be proceeded against.In reference to the last remark, Mr.Francis N.Williams, Knowleon, advocated a gun license saying this had been found in different countries to be Die greatest prevention of th© indiscriminate slaughter of fish, game and poultry.The Quebec Fish and) Gann Association urged a epm license at $2 per head as the best means 0f cutting down the use of firearms by people wh0 do a lot 0f barm.On the motion of Mr.H.Æ.Best, seconded by Mr.S.A.McKay the question was referred hack to th\" execution to continue its work.POST OFFICE SIGNS Anqtbei; .mattci, supplementary to the Guide Board question, namely tha question of

the reports of the convention read and discussed, thus giving more interest to tbe meeting.The item in the \u201cplan of work,\u201d which provides for the writing of essays by tbe women members, instead of the children, was approved.The question of a prize for the Union showing the largest increase in members was discussed, and it was decided that a handsome banner with a suitable inscription in gold lettering would be the most acceptable and appropriate offering.Mrs.Jones and Mrs.McDonald were appointed to make the arrangements for securing the banner in question.In regard to the W.C.T.U.page in the Sherbrooke Daily Record the president stated that it had been discontinued for the present.Mrs.Rugg said that she thought the willingness of the Editor of the Record to give up so much valuable space weekly to the advocacy of the temperance cause, was admirable and deserved the highest commendation.It had been, she believed, productive of much good, and after the war, when readers would again be interested in other subjects than the one which overshadows everything else, the Temperance page might be resumed again with fresh vigor and strength.The war Pself was making for the temperance movement, ns well as for spiritual uplift in all directions.The report of the Treasurer, Mrs.Robinson, was read and adopted, being very encouraging.The Superintendents of Departments were reminded to send in their reports in good time for the Provincial Convention which takes place in Quebec City on the 26th.27th and 23th of October, and a discussion followed on certain subjects to be brought up at the Convention.Mrs.McCurdy submitted for examination a catalogue of Temperance Literature kept on hand in Mrs.D.W.Hyndman\u2019s small depository, as being available for the use of the Unions, in getting up papers, con-i tests, etc.It was moved and unanimously carried that a letter be writ ten by the Secretary of the Executive Will Sell Cheap Steam Boiler, capacity 700 sq.feet, air 425 sq.feet, steam radiation, nearly new.A.R.WILSON.Sfe S\tB BfeB Canadian War Contingent Association,\u2014she says in part:\u2014 I am particularly glad to see that your Association is forwarding to bacco.The call for it is really very heavy, and though we have entered into excellent arrangements with certain wholesale firms, the cost of our purchase of tobacco, and of such things as cake and sweets, amount?to a very large sum at the end of each month.I spent three weeks in August in a cottage lent by Lady Markham, the Superintendent of our Hospital, which cottage is situatv ed in the hospital grounds.I saw \u201e great deal of our wounded men, but I am thankful to say they were all doing well.There are however, some very bad cases where the patients suffered intensely.I luckily Uad an invitation to view the march past and review of our Canadian troops, and they certainly made a magnificient show.Princess Alexander of Teck took the salute of one review and the King and Lord Kitchener took the salute of the other, and were all highly complimentary about our men.With the very grateful thanks of the Committee Yours sincerely, (Signed) Eleanor Graham Brown, Hon.Secretary, Ladies Committee C.W.C.A.P.S.\u2014I am enclosing n list of comforts forwarded by the Association t0 the troops at the front during August, which I think may interest you.Articles sent to the front August 1915.Socks 8752, Hose tops 180, Towela 378, Cake 25£ ounces, Shirts 166, Handkerchiefs KMX), Maple sugar 38 cases, Confectionary 214§ pounds, Butter Muslin 1125 yds., Matches 1600 loses, Sacks papers 41, Games 19, Pacts cards 12, Stationery 19 pkts, Tooth brushee 452, Tubes of Sterilisers 1000, Cigarette Papers 2000 pkts.Magazines 43 parcels ;
