of Staff Officer is
FaVOrite with Men.

Northern France name of town cen
sored). Nov. 19.-The Prince of Wales,
now on General French's staff at the
front. had "a busy day yesterday. His
military duties kept him on the move
from early morning until late IN the
afternoon in his big Daimler car, just
sent across from England. In his visits
TO various places he was accompanied
by two other staff officers. There also
was a long attendance at headquarters,
and when he retired il was with the in
timation that reyeille would be at $3.50
this morning. The Prince, who now
hears for the first time In his life the
sound of heavy guniire in actual war
fare, is taking his turn of duty like
any other staff officer, and IL is his
own wish that ne shall not be relieved
Of any work which the ordinary routine
may bring.
lie wins the high praise of officers
and men by his unassuming zeal, and
the soldiers are proud at having the
Prince among them. Already ne not
only has come into personal touch with
men who have been hard at work on
the fighting line. but he has shared in
the task of conveying the wounded TO
the field hospitals and has made the
acquaintance Of the Indian troops. The
Prince is making a name as marcher.
"He's as tit as they make them, and
thinks nothing OF walking twenty-five
miles on a couple Of sandwiches and an
annie" said an officer.

to devote his attention 70 the towns,

on the southeast of Ypres, between

some hard fighting in which the French
held their ground. On our left centre
nothing occurred beyond the usual

London, Nov. 2O.-There has been a
record demand for the war loan, more
than 6OO,OOO,OOO having been already

"The Daily Chronicle says:
This is a triumph for finance as
great as any military victory that can
be gained on the battlefield. The credit

deal with an overwhelming number Of
applications from their hundreds OF

portunity to the smaller investors, who
generally are rather late in making
applications"

Northern France (name Of town cen
sored), Nov. ia grim battle has
again begun between Ypres and La
Bass6e and the British troops once
more are in the thick of the fight,
sustaining the brunt Of fierce German
attacks. This battle, it is believed is
the last effort of the Germans to reach
the coast before assuming a studied
defensive for the winter under a state
of siege in both their natural and
hastily devised citadels
On Tuesday night the Germans hurled
their men once more against the British
lines. The battle commenced in a
storm As in most German attacks,
their infantry advanced at about 3
O'Clock IN the afternoon. II was then
dark. Rain was pouring into the
trenches and the nip Of approaching
winter permeated the air. On and on
the German infantry crept, this time
not in close formation. Their big guns
but their shells were falling
wide OF the Allies trenches.
The English officers prepared to give
them a reception. They ordered their
men to evacu&te some Of the trenches,
but not because retreat was necessary.
At $50 o'clock the first rifle shots rang
out from a number OF the British
trenches. The enemy was dangerously
close and had met with no opposition
except from she'll fire. When they
reached the evacuated trenches they
were shot to a man by terrific hail Of
bullets from the woods on both hanks.
Almost within ten minutes Of the Brit
ishers' first volley the Germans first
-four lines were shattered. while the
English had suffered no casualties.
