 There was a large mum Der of visitors to Diamond ledge last Sunday. There is much interest in the efforts being chase the property. A subscription paper is being circulated and is re- ceiving a generous response. About $500 has already been pledged. It is desired to have as many as possi ble contribute toward the fund and con- tributious either large or small may be sent to The Press office or may be left at the stores of E L Burr, Fitz. patrick's newsroom or Anders Jacob sen. It is planned to raise if possible $550 or more. The property can be purchased for $4OO. The extra $50 is for the purpose of buying about one and one quarter acres of land ad- joining and further up the brook. All money raised above the $55O can be used in improving the grounds and the road to the ledge. It is planned to turn the property over to the town and the park commissioners. There may be many readers of The Press who formerly lived here who have the same feelings as expressed in the following letter.
 New London Sept. 2.
 Editor of The Press.
 Dear Sir:
 Someone has sent me a copy of The Press with a marked item calling at- tention to the fact that a sawmill is to be erected at Diamond Ledge in Stafford for the purpose of working up the timber standing there. AS a former resident of Stafford I have a very warm interest in this particular spot and would not like to think of its being shorn of it's fine trees. do not know what the value of the acre and half may be but would be glad to contribute $25 toward a fund to be raised to purchase this spot and keep it forever as it is. It seems to me that if the matter could be brought to the attention of the residents of Stafford and former residents as we'll that there would be no great difficulty in raising sufficient money to accom- plish this end.
 Very truly yours,
 P. Le ROY HAYWOOD.

The use of the corselot is limited

return are bound to bring back some
information of value to the intelli-
gence corps.
Wear Steel COrsetS.
Officers in the trenches as well as
officers in other military units, usually
wear steel corscts as a protection
against spent bullets.
Score one for the brcastplate," said
an officer who had been doubled over
by shell fragment which hit him in
the abdomen. Instead of flow of
blood crimsoning his blouse all that
was visible through the rent in the
cloth was an abrasion on steel sur
face.
"But for your new corset you would
have been dead by now" the surgeon
told him.
Early in the war an officer who wore
protection Of this kind would have
been frowned on by his fellows as I'M
soldieryry. A type of corselet of small
plates of highly tempered steel Joined
together by steel wires is being more
and more worn by officers. Its struc-
ture adapts itself TO the movements
of the body. II weighs only few

recently, had been wearing one, his
life might have been saved, according
TO his comrades. Since then Canadian
commanders have strongly urged all
their officers TO buy corsclets.

The corselet is worse than no pro-
lection against bullets unless the latter
are spent. Such is their power Of pen
