on the first day of the attack™, said the first man 1 spoke to in the ward; a fine, upstanding, thoughtful-lookir.g soldier.\u201cWe went forward just about dawn.The guns had been firing pretty continuously for days, but the half hour before we went over was the wildest time I've ever had.The bombardment was simply «tremendous.\u201cThere is a curious difference In the soands of bombardments.The noise of the gun discharges increases up to a point where it is just one roar, with now and then the thud of a biy- ger explosion.But as thre bombardment gets heavies the sounds seem to sort themselves out, until the whole effect is Hike the voll of a very bug drum.That ls what the reposts Buy Bonds and Beat the Boches to the Victory Loan helps the men at the front, helps trade at home, and helps you.mean by \u2018drumfire\u2019.It is quite dis- timetive, and where we hear it, we know that a particularly heavy and far reaching bombardment is going on.\u201cWhen the shells are the other side of No Man's d, however, the men in the front line trenches don't hour the drum fire so clearly.The bursting shells are too near, and the whistling and shrieking of their approach makes su distinct difference.We cam tell at once when the guns lengthen their range by Is tering to the row the shells make in passing | \u201cWe were to advance 3s soon as the bombardment Hited.f course we could not hear any order becanse ot the guns, but owr officers had synchronised their watches, and when we saw them move, we climbed out of the assembly positions and formed up in No Man's Land.Then we just walked forward, every man watching his dressing and distance, just as if we were doing the movement on parade under the eye of the colonel.\u201cWe use this particular formation for croesing ground likely to be swept by mackine-gun fire.Of course if we have to rush a trench against opposilon\u2014which does not happen very often\u2014we need greater weignt in the attack, snd arrangements are made so that this can be brought about We all know what to do ne- cording to the situation.We have Juet | their guns on us.They were darrag- practised the movement so often, and done it in real earnest too, that tite only hitch which can occur is when the attackers are lsld out.\u201cThe Germans were slow In getting ing our supports instead.= We had passed their front line and were hali- way across to thelr second, before a shell came anywhere near us.The second line was our objective, and it looketd as if we were going to get across without a casualty, but just before we reached it I saw a few of our fellows go down.Not many thougn.\u2018The second line had deen a breas- work position about seven feet high.A bit of k right in front of me was still standing.T had just reached the foot of it when a shell burst on the other side ani toppled the whole mass over on top of me.Luckily 1 just got the fringe of it, but I was knocked over and pinned down.I was covered right up to (he shoulders.Two of my chums got me out, and witer a bit I was carried down to the dressing station.\u201d .\u201cMy battalion stopped one of the counter attacks just south of the Menin road,\u201d ssid another wounded man.\u201cWe had relieved the regiment who had taken the position, and were supposed to consolidate it thoroughly, but it was no easy matter because of the mud into which the rain had turned the ground.\u201cYou have no ides how difficult it is to dig in Flanders mud.Not only is it difficult to lift out a spadeful be- .| cause of the stickiness of the stuff, but it seems to slide in again as quickly as you shove it out, Then there was quite a heavy bombardment on at the time.However, we managed to get some sort of cover built up.\u201cThe counter-attack came the morn ing after.Thers was à low mist ou the ground, snd everything seemed fairly quiet, when the German guns \u2018suddenly started going.They go on to our position pretty quick, snd all our work began to be undone.The unrevetted trench walls simply slid in from the concussion of the bursting shetls alone.\u201cMy platoon were holding & part of the old German trench which our \u2018guns had not completely destroyed, .| but it got too hot for us to stay there.Our officer ordered us out of the trench, and we took elielter in shell- holes some distance in front.Then we saw the Boches coming.\u201cThey came on just 3¢ we do, fine \"| sfeer tine of them bunching together a dit as they got mearer.At first we thought we were all alone but rifles began to crack on either side of us, and we heard our Lewis guns getting busy, so we knew that the old battalion was still in existence and full of fight.\u201cThe firat attack dié not get to close quarters at all.We thinned them out so.It would have been useless for those who survived te attempt to close with us.But reinforcements kept coming up behind, and though we kept dropping thems, we knew that the shell-holes In front of us must be pretty well filled with real live Germans only waiting a chance to rush.\u201cThey did start a rush, but our guns had opened on them before they got very far.Someone must have done Jolly good work in getting through their barrage with a message to our guns.The exact position had been given, for gione of our shells dropped short.The barrage simply wiped out the Huns.We can put in a terrific number of shells whenever we choose.Thy track of the barrage looked like » raging sea, and the Germans were right in the middle of ft all.\u201cI had been doing rapid fre ail the time, but just after our barrage started, 1 suddenly realized that I could not lift the bolt of my rifle.I'd been plugged in the arm.The excitement of the attack had been so great, though.that T couldn't remember when I'd been bit.\u201cThey tell me the Boches attacked later on, strongly reinforced.and got the same dose over again.Some of our fellows came down to the casualty clearing station from that show before 1 had been passed through, so I heard all about it.The old battalion has done fine.\u201d .«ee \u201c1 did not sce any of the fightix.though 1 have come from the scene of our last push,\u201d said a wounded officer; rather a serious stretcher case.Every Victory Bond you buy is a Blow for Freedom.If you can\u2019t shoulder a rifle yourself, lend the Government the money to buy a rifle for someone

Suffering FRANCE MND HER SOLDIERS FUTURE AGRICULTUTISTS WHO ARE DISCHARGED FROM ARMY NOW BEING EDUCATED IN FARMING.Paris, France, Nov.23\u2014lhe President of the Republic, M.Poinesre, has just paid an official visit to an instituion at Juvisy-sur-Orge.This institution is of a peculiarly interesting character, as it manifests the sympathy felt by the peoples of allied countries in France for the sut- ferings of the French in the war.There is a union of foreign colonies in France, which consists.chiefly of American, English, Russian, Dutch, Norwegian and others, and some of the leading members of this combination, including particularly Messrs.L.Asscher, L.Kone, L.V.Benet and B.J.Shoniger, all of whom are vice-presidents, some time ago organized the establishment of three centers of professional reeducation for the benefit of the French wounded, at the Grand Palais, in the qual Debilly and at Maison-Blanche.The good work thus begun has been carried à.step forward by the consider-

took over the farm de Champagne, consisting of 50 hectares and situated not far distant.There it is developing its ideas for the assist ance of the wounded agriculturists on quite a grand scale, and agriculture, horticulture, mechanical cultivation, the use of motor tractors and so forth.including the most up-to- date appliances, are being taught in a very thorough manner, so that not only are those who have been disabled being better educated in the posibilities of agriculture than they were before the war, but they are be- mg imbued with a new hope in the: future.Since the opening of the agricultural school some 330 wounded agriculturists have passed through.A number of them have returned to their old farms or homes and for the others the unio n has found good situations.The President of the Republic, wishing to share his sympathy with this very faudable endeavor, went there in the company of Mme.Poincare, General Duparge and M.Justin Godart.On their arrival they were received by Mr.Walter V.R.Berry, president of the Union, who delivered a happy little speech in the course of which he said that on a certain occasion General Washington anounced to his fellow citizens in a letter which is now famous, that they should not advance his candidature for the presidency a third time, because, the liberty of his country being assured, and the Government being established on a solid basis, he hoped at last to gratify the dearest wish of his heart, his ardent desire to retire to his own lands on the pa ed; when that is all completed, the union contemplates the education of the orphans of these agricultural workers who have fallen.\u201d Mr.Berry then explained in detail the manner in which this splendid work was begun and the results that had so far been achieved, thanking all those who had given their assistance to the union.Following upon this, M.Justin Godart spoke a few words of appreciation of the magnificent manner in which the union had responded to the necessities of the hour.The President of the Republie and the members of the party then made a tour of the different departments of the school, led by members of the committee, and were deeply impressed by all that they saw, and the splendid arrangements that had been made in every detail.As a token of appreciation, the President, before his departure, conferred upon M.Asscher and M.Kone, vice-presidents, the Cross of the Legion of Honor.MEK WHSKY'S GRIP ON YOUR LOVED Drunkards will tell you with tears of sincerity that they do not want to banks of the Potomac.Some | drink The craving

will number well in the thousands and which wilt be used for service in France as soon as they are trained, according to a statement made by Maj.Frank J.Griflin, signal officer on reerviting duty, before the Concourse Association.The pigeon fanciers who met Major Griffin pledged their cooperation.1f the lines of communication are broken by barrage fire, pigeons are the only means of communication, and France and England now have 20,000 of thes birds in the service.The American troops now in France have already established lofts and have a few thousand birds in training.Many more of these winged messengers will be needed, and it ls hoped to have at least 5000 ready for transportation to France in January.The patriotism of one branch of producers, the bird fanciers, is shown when they sell the carriers to the Government for $4 a pair, which is below the price for the class of fiy- ers wanted.SUBMARINE TRICK 18 SUSPECTED Washington, D.C.\u2014\"This is no time to pat

French ialist Party, which exhibits importsat developments at the present time, is rapidly rising.It is not too much to say that apart from the great general question, which, expressed in its simplest form, is the continuance of the war until victory ia attained, there is no trouble in France just now which ie regarded as being of greater importance and significance than this one, and its interest is mot reduced by the differences among the Socialists themselves.In the circumstances of the case the Federal Socialist Congress of the Seine, in effect, à preliminary exercise of forces that were engaged at Bordeaux, naturally attracted critical attention.The Kienthalieu section was the object of numerous attacks.M.Rosenthal set himself to work against them at an early stage in the

victims of exclusion from the party, and said they were determined to stake everything and | hold fast to their positions.He like- \u2018 Socialists for not having obliged the Government to state their war aims.M.Fiancette has been in th: pect- liar position of declaring his attachment to a new section of the Social ists, and staying their objects which primarily, he xeplained, were the sinking of differences and divergences within the party and hring- ine about a solid unity.It was in this paradoxical position that he stood for the Centrists, as the section is called, declaring that divisions of the party only assisted the rerctionaries.Then.as to the war he exclaimed that an early peace was possible if the work of national defense were complete and thorough.and if it were eruallv wood among all the Allies.He wished tn know what were the objectives of the war, and particularly if.in the main they embrace a peace without annexations.Then.maying compliments to M.Albert Thomas, he said that his work in the Government had been most valushle.and that TORONTO, CANADA .Winnipeg Montreal Maurin and M.Jean Lonquet, leaders of minority sections expressed themselves in favor of refusing the vote for the war credits in certain | circumstances, Upon a vote on the constitution of the committee to consider the resolutions to he put forward, the majority section had 100 votes, the Longuet minority 78, the Maurin minority 20 and the Kienthaliens 20.Resolutions have been put forward by the majority, by the Cen- © trists and by the Kienthaliens, and a great effort has been made by a committee consisting of MM.Albert Thomas, Longuet, -Maurin, Sembat and others to weld them into a sin- tie resolution which might express the sentiments of the completed majority.However, despite all efforts and special appeals by MM.Thomas and Renaude! that at least there should be an agreement on the answer to the Stockholm question- cz and work of the party is enunciated the three sections could not agree.KEEPING THE QUALITY UP LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE the World-Famous Cure for Colds and Crip, is now 30¢ per box, On account of the advance in the price of the six different
