The only new thing is this cry that
they do not want a pro-German or a

The people elect american congressman

Stories of the War
Enemy Impression of British.

Our turn now came. Our opponents
are for the most part Englishmen; the
Belgians and French are in the minori-
ty. When we were able to rest for
and thought OF those who had already
been left on the field during the first
few hours (there were a considerable
number Of my company. namely 43),
the stupid thought occurred to me in
voluntarily: so these losses have
been inflicted on us by the second-rate
crowds OF mercenaries Of the English.
. :" For that is how they were de-
scrfbed many times at home in va
rious newspapers! We have now had
the opportunity for fourteen days for
making a closer acquaintance with
these hired slaves" l shall give you
more detailed information later about
our fight with the English; but first l
should like to express one wish, and
1t is this: that those people who so
often make their remarks about the
hired slaves" of the English had only
teen once for p hours at our side dur
ing the last IA days: / honestly believe
they would get quite different idea of
the beardless figures with the long
legs (Which according to their opinion
they only had for running away. We
have learned to know the English as
troops that are at least of equal worth
with ourselves. Their movements dur
ing the fight often throw US into as
constituent. Their methods of fight
ing, which 1 learned to know from the
closest proximity, reminds me now thai
I have time to think about Ii, of the
peaceable competitions at home in ouI
gwmnasiums and sport grounds
must say ii once more: the English are
no second-rate opponents. We have
been obliged to fight for fourteen days
with these people for every foot Of
ground: hardly had we driven then
out of one position than they were
| firmly established again theft next mo-
ment in another position and they al
so at once proceeded to counter-at'
| tack.-From soldiers letter in Meta

Corporal Joyner's Experiences.

Corporal Walter Joyner, a member
of the crack Princess Patricias, and
an Ottawa boy by birth told a very
interesting story to a Citizen reporter.
Joyner is twenty-six years OF age.
He received his discharge, not medi-
cally fit, on July l. and arrived in
Quebec on Sunday on the Steamer
Matagama-
Before you ask me and questions"
said Joyner, Il wish to state that the
thing that was ever uttered. 1t is
horrible beyond all description
Following this pointed statement,
Joyner proceeded to show the re-
porter his wounds. This Is the
worst Of them ALL" he said as he
pushed forward his right hand show
ing the third finger missing ana the
thumb and foref1nger badly mutilated,
Il got that on May 1 when shrap-
mel burst right beside me-" Then he
showed forward his left hand ana
showed where he had been struck by
bayonet on February Y at 81 Eioi;
'If hadn't got 1t there ] would have
gotten II in some more vital spot,
said Joyner. 81 put out my hand to
guard il of and 1t entered my hand
but just as was doing that, one OF
my comrades struck the fellow that
is on the back of the head 1t was
caused by a fragment Of bursting
shell and beyond rendering him un-
conscious for two hours did not DO
any serious damage. This wound war
received at the second battle CT fpres
in February.
Asked as to what he thought of
Major Hamilton Gault, Joyner said;
Hes the brayest man ] ever saw
and a born commander He was
wounded twice, FIRST in the arm and
the second time in the leg and side;
Il d. rsrf - action " IaVnnr said
that he was within ten feet OF Col.
Farquhar when the latter was shot.
The bullet entered several inches
below his shoulder, struck Done
and glanced downward doing serious
internal injury. Col. Farquhar last
words were: BURY me among my
| men at verrozoomelle," he was q
i splendid man." said Joyner.
The longest term we had In the
| trenches was twelve days That was
when we first went in, starting on
January 8. Our rations were any :
thing but satisfying, bully beef and
4 biscuit and We were in water above
i our knees all that time You can
| imagine the condition some Of the men
were in when we got out Besides our
/ simply surface water from the battle
field In which the dead and wounded
| had been lying"
I'm ali the Princess Patricias must
have taken 1900 prisoners. Most OF
4 the time we opposed the 2l6th Bav-
| arians and they were splendid nght
ers. OF our original regiment slight
| ly over 1,i0e, there are only about
4 two hundred odd left so you can judge
how we suffered and bore the orunt

GoRED SKIRTS.

Gored skirts are rapidly appearing.
One of the latest models shown is cut
like an umbrella, with eight or ten
cores. The seams are Joined by a cord
and a cord finishes the scalloped edge
at the bottom of the skirt. Each seal
lop is the width Of the gore at the bot
tom. The many gored skirt recalls
skirts worn several years ago, and one
wonders If this Is a forerunner of the
once popular organ pipe skirts which
had from eleven to fifteen cores, and
with the aid of haircloth were made
to form a rounded effect resembling
the pipes Of an organ.

HOW TO CLEAN PEWTER.

A shop which makes q speciality of
genuine pewter ware says that in
cleaning pewter whiting or any good
silver powder can be used. The polish
should. hover, first be mixed with
olive oil, machine oil or vaseline, or
even kerosene and then rubbed all
over the object. Then wipe it of and
polish with the dry powder applied
with a soft cloth.

should be moved backward as far as
possible and the under jaw be thrust
