Loss Of Canadian ArtiIIery.

Canadian artillery lost more men at
Ypres than any other artillery division
has so far lost during the war. The
losses in killed and wounded were over
$50, which is very heavy when 1t Is
remembered that most of the time only
the actual gun crews. amounting to
about 120, per brigade. were under fire,
the remainder being far to the rear
with the horses. The First Artillery
Brigade. for instance. Commanded by
Lieut. Morrison, d. s. o., Of OF
tawa). lost 80 at Ypres, chiefly gun
ners, out of 100, while at Neuve Cha
pelle. the heaviest loss in any single
British battery was IL and the total
for the most exposed brigade only
about 80.
Artillery losses under the present
siege conditions are not as spectac-
ular as If going into action with
horses and ammunition wagons IN
the open, but the Canadian losses al
Ypres were quite as heavy as those
of the infantry there. The Tenth
Battery lost 125 men out of 140, be-
cause they had to. maneuver in the
open. The First Battery lost one
major. two subalterns, the sergeant
major, four gun sergeants and a sig
nal sergeant out of about forty ac-
tually in the gun emplacements. Si1
out Of 16 guns were smashed by di-
rect hits,

Stories of the War
Chaplain Under Fire.

The Rev. d. A. Cameron Reid, writ
ing from the Dardanelles Gin Life and
Work, the Church of Scotland Mag
azine and Mission Record, for July),
says:
My first Sunday here We landed.
and soon after came under fire, which
went on, rifles and shrapnel, for four
teen hours without stopping. The
chaplain's place is in the rear; but, as
there was no rear in our action to
speak of, was more or less under fire
all the time. However, I was not
touched, although our losses were very
great. 1 did my best to help the
wounded, and put in a number Of first
dressings, some on very CHASTITY
wounds.
THE censorship forbids a history of
the campaign: but you may imagine
how severe IL has been when I tell
you that of officers at my table on
board ship coming here 1 am the only
one left-5 are killed, and 2 severely
wounded. A chaplain's work is not of
the usual type. and formal services
are impossible. To-day my r. c.

and gave prayer. That was all, but

WAR ZONE ORDER
 DISTURBS TRAFFIC

LONDON, Feb. 2O.-WhIle Che Lon. don pess continues to assert that the British navy is amply prepared to de- lend merchant shipping against the German blockade, there is no doubt but that temporarily at least, traf- ic conditions have been very much disturbed Passenger traffic has prac- t.cally come to a standstill, and trade with Holland has been completely in- terrupted At least, there are no ves- sels now running on regular schedule between the two countries,
 The destruction Of French and Norwegian merchant ship since tho inauguration of the blockade had a depressing Influence in shipping cir cles, and insurance rates have ad- vanced to a point that makes freight tariffs almost prohbitiye. even for ships sailing without previously ar ranged schedule.
 Most of the saillngs from ail ports are purposely on secret schedules. This adds to the difficulties or those who are seeking to continue trade with France and Mediterranean and American ports.
 The order Of the admiralty suspend ing passenger traffic between Great Britain and the Continent and the repeated reports Of the presence Of Zeppelins over British waters observ- ing the movements Of neutral mer- chant ships, and probably directing submarines, have added to the ap- prehension of the people.
