A CANADIAN BOMBING PARTY

The following passages are taken from the diary of a Canadian officer. They describe bombing raid on the German lines at night. The writer had thirty-two men in his command. The diary, which was not written with any idea of publication, appears, in part, in the Atlantic Monthly
 "A great tree had been knocked down by a shell a few days before and lay breast high across our path in the wire. over this we had to climb first one leg and then the other, and every once in while a sentry would blaze away into the night over our heads. This was the worst part of the whole affair. because any sentry on the alert would have seen us. I thought the cracking of the twigs would have given US away, everything was so still; and I expected every instant to hear a machine gun close by open on us-but these Huns are a sleepy bunch.
 When ten men had got over the stump and twenty-four more were strung out forty yeards behind, the battalion started We heard a volley of bombs and instantly the air was full of flare rockets, and the jig was up. There we were all tangled up in the wire. looking as if a searchight was shining on us The alarm had been given, men were running along the walks inside, sentries were speeding up their fire, so we had to act quick.
 Hartley, Archer. Bates and I crawled up the great high parapet abreast, ana each threw bomb over. They exploded with a fearful crash, and then things began to happen Quick-too quick to remember everything. I got on the broad top of the parapet and looked in

to a trench ten feet deep and forty feet long. About thirty feet on my left, in a corner, spotted a sentry. I yelled to he boys to come on, and the sentry took a pot shot at me, but his aim was bad. I shot at him with my revolver. He was yelling alarm!' at the top of his voice then decided to go and stepped down; but I got him good with my second shot I jumped into the trench and landed on my feet 1 got my way back to little recess and took my flash lamp and looked at my watch. The rest of the party come over with rush.
 Almost at once Corporal Jones was shot through the head and fell at my feet. 1 got knocked down with some thing and dropped my lamp. l took Corporal Jones out of his hand turned around, and flashed it on a Hun who was corning at me head on. Archer, Hartly and l got Corporal Jones out and then Bates, who was dead. It was an awful job, as dead man is so heavy and the trench so deep. All this time there was the most awful noise going on, and the sky was aHght with the flashes of explosions. The Germans got a machine gun in the trench and enfiladed us and killed Brown and wounded Seargent Simkins, and Lieu tenant Colonel Porter. all in one corner We got them all out. 1 turned around and examined the dugout in front of which l was standing. and found nOth- ing there. When l came out one of the bombers shot at me point black, but the safety catch of his revolver was on, so the revolver did not fire. He thought l was a German coming out.
 Archer came to me, mad as the dick ems because his revolver was jammed I reloaded. mine and tried to fix his but couldn't. So we searched the German I shot and took box of sugar out of his pocket. We didn't want the sugar but the address on the parcel which gave his regiment. etc. got his cap. but lost it.

Food For The Mind.

Never was there u time in the
history OF this country when the
people at large We're as constant
and inveterate readers of neWs-
papers as they are today, and
this is especially so i'm the mat
ter OF newspaper advertising.
People who d few years ago
would hardly look at an adver-
tisement now digest every word
of it and they do it with a pnr-
pose. The human mind is
broadening and expanding and
becoming more liberal. 1t de-
mands food and particularly that
class of food that conserves tine
financial interest of the reader.
And the we'll worded Advertise
ment appeals directly to every
we'll balanced mind. 1t points
the way to economy.
And the wise business man
advertises accordingly.
