 A. A. Allan who returned on the Umatilila is looking one hundred per cent fit. He gives most inter esting account of his experiences in Europe when with over four hund- red dogs they landed at Havre from Canada. Going into Havre was one of the most remarkable experiences a person could have. Steamers were threading their way in close order one after another, like jitney busses in street. He never saw so much shipping arriving anywhere at any time. It was marvellous. Steamers came into port and imme- diately electric cranes were rushed alongside, piles of stevedores rushed into the holds, as many as could possibly work together, and within few hours the cargo is dis charged into motor cars, trucks etc. and moved away immediately while the steamer moves out to what is know as the safety zone" and there takes on what fuel and sup plies may be needed. In France everything is war although eviden- ces of it are far from being visible Troops are everywhere of course, but even the man on the front may never see a sign of the enemy. He tells of an experience with a wound ed artillery man who said that he had been in action for ten months land never saw single bloody German. However he admits that the Stars and Stripes looked good to him although he saw neither battleship nor submarine until he reached New York, and this regards as not the least striking feature of his visit to the war zone.
 A letter from Captain F. T. M'Intyre announces the sad news of the death of his brother who was killed in action somewhere in France on June 3", so that his pre- monition that he would never see Canada again has been fulfilled. H.. c. M'Intyre is well known in Nome where he mined both for wages and for himself. He was a fine young fellow, and always a staunch union man well liked by every one who knew him. He was born on Septem- Der 22, 1884 at Souris, Prince Ed ward Island, Canada; his father Dr. P. A. MacIntyre having been a former Lieutenant Governor of P. E. Island He was educated at St. Dunstan's College and served in the Boer war from 1901 to the finish He was in Nome from 1906 to 1910 when he took up ranch in Alberta where he remained until the war broke out. He was badly wounded at Ypres in March 1916 and killed in action on June 8, after distin- gushing himself considerably and being promoted for bravery under fire. He is survived by two sisters Mrs. A. s. Gormally of Toronto, Canada and Mrs. Dr. Smallwood, fSouris P. E. I. as well as by E. T.. MacIntyre now residing in San Francisco. The worst feature of this war is the loss of so many brave young lives that better could have served a better cause. While the old and the derelict, the de- crepit and the degenerate remain, the young and healthy and vigorous are destroyed for the sake of the insane craze has beset the nations. E. T. M'Intyre was all cut up over his brothers death, and profound sympathy will be felt for him by his many friends here.
