In the Front Trenches.
sgRaEANT MseLINToeE

We got into Poperinghe at a. m., and the scouts had led us into the front trenches at 2 the next morning. Our position was to the left of St Elis= and was known as "the' island" be- cause 1t had no support on either flank. On the left were the Yser canal and the bluff which forms its bank. On the right were 800 yards of battered down trenches, which had been rebuilt twice and blown in again each time by the German guns. For some req | son, which I never quite understood, the Germans were able to drop what seemed a tolerably large proportion of the output of the Krupp works on this particular spot whenever they wanted to. Our high command had concluded | that 1t was untenable, and so we, on one side of 1t, and the British, on the other had just keep 1t secuted and protect our separate Hanks. Another name they had for that position was the bird ge" That was because the first fellows who moved into 1t made them. lives nice and comfy and |
 put up wire nettings to prevent any one from tossing bombs in on them. Thus, when the Germans stirred up the spot with an accurate shower of "whiz bangs and "COal boxes" the same being thirteen pounders and six inch shells, that wire netting presented a spectacle of utter inadequacy which hasn't been equaled in this war.
 They called the position which we were assigned to defend "the grave yard of Canada" That was because | of the fearful losses of the Canadians here In the second battle of Ypres, from April q to June 1, 1915, when the first gas attack in the worlds his tory was launched by the Germans and, although the French on the left and the British on the right fell back the Canadians stayed where they were put.
 Right here can mention something which will give you an idea why de- scriptions of this war don't describe It. During the first gas attack the Cana dians, choking to death and falling over each other in a fight against new and unheard of terror in warfare, found a way-the Lord only knows who first discovered 1t and how he happened to do ito stay through css cloud and come out alive. It isn't pretty to think of, and it's like many other things in this war which you can't even tell of in print, because the simple description would violate the nice ethics about reading matter for the public eye which have grown up in long years of peace and traditional de- cency. But this thing which you can't describe meant just the difference be- tween life and death to many of the Canadians that first day of the gas.

 In canning fruit always save the bits of juice left from time to time and then put up few cans, using the juice and less fruit in making various desserts.

WELCOME, ADVERTISEMENTS CANADIANS

We were a new battalion. We had been less than seyenty-two hours on the continent of Europe, and the Ger mans were not supposed to know any , thing that was going on behind our lines!
 We learned afterward that concealed telephones in the houses of the Bel gian burgomasters of the villages of Dtnkiebusch and Renninghelst near our position, gave communication with the German headquarters opposite us. One of the duties of a detail of our men soon after that was to stand these two burgomasters up against a wall and shoot them.
 In concluding this first article want to say frankly that any man who claims he Is not afraid when for the first time he goes into that hell of fire on the western front Is a liar, and I'll tell him so to bis face. Later we be came impervious, but that first day prayed, and I would have bent down and prayed only my knees shook so.

Needn't Search More
for Husband Missing
From Home Z Years

After a man has been missing for
seven years his wife is not obliged
to spend all her money to discover
whether he is still living. This is
the decision of Judge eager given
yesterday afternoon in the superior
court in the suit of Mary S. Smith of
this city against the Supreme Lodge
Of the New England Order of Pro-
lection. She sued to collect a policy
of $4,000 on her husbands life.
The lodge held that Mrs. Smith had
failed to produce adequate proof of
her husbands death. Mrs. Smith
replied that her husband had been
missing for seven years and during
that time she had heard nothing from
him. Judge eager found that Mrs.
Smith had made numerous attempts
to get information regarding her hus-
band but could find no trace Of him.
The courts decision allows her to
collect the insurance now unless the
lodge appeals to the supreme court.

DOCTORS TO Be
ACCOUNTABLE FOR
AMbUL ANCE RUNS
Charities Board Puts Re-
sponsibility Upon Them
Behrens President.

Responsibility for the failure of the
emergency hospital ambulance corps
to respond to calls for accident or
emergency illness cases will fall upon
the physician on duty in the hospital
at the time Of the call, as a result of a
lengthy meeting Of the board of char
tiles, yesterday, when organization for
the year was effected
No definite action was taken in any
of the cases which the subcommittee
Of the board investigated. The facts,
as already reported through the col
umns of The Farmer. were verified
through their inquiries. III
The commissioners agreed that the
routine Of emergency hospital work
was such that the answering of am
bulance calls ought in large measure
to be discretionary with the physician
IN charge, and, at the\meeting yester-
day it was arranged to lodge the re-
sponsibility definitely with the physi-
clan.
1t is the understanding of/the board
that the physicians shall answer any
call for the ambulance where there
may be doubt as to whether it is nee
essary to send the ambulance-thus
obviating any such unpleasant MEM
cries such as attach to the tragic death
of John Youngs, unattended in Wa
ter street lodging house, or to the ac-
cident Of Tony Morowski. left in the
street. with severe scalp wound, un-
attended until a passing motorist took
pity on his plight.
OF the meeting yesterday, Commits
sioner r. w. Behrens was reelected
president, and the new commissioner
Isaac Moss, was sworn in.
