Sometimes the Germans would pen
citrate our lines for few yards. and
then we would Immediately counter"
before they had chance to strengthen
their position. We lost an awful lot of
men, but even though don't know the
exact figures l know / am safe in say
ing that the German losses were more
than double what ours were
We dispatch riders were certainly
kept busy during this time. Our work
was to be standing by every minute of
the day and night, and the moment we
were wanted to sling the dispatch case
over our shoulder and get away for the
headquarters to the rear.
The riding ut night was terrible. The
Germans were Smelling all the roads In
the vicinity, and we had to go dashing
along through the inky blackness at
breakneck pace. 1t was impossible to
see more than a yard or two ahead.
and so 1t was q case of ride like the
dickens and trust to luck The road
was covered with shell holes, and the
first intimation we would get of the
fact was when we would feel the mo-
torbike drop beneath us and feel our
selves shooting through the air like
amateur skyrockets.
We would pick ourselves up, drag
the motorbike out of the hole and, IL 1t
would still run, jump on 1t and get
away again. We certainly got some
terrible spills, and there were a good
many who got broken bones and a few
who had their necks and backs broken.
Imagination cannot conceive Of our
utter misery. Everywhere l looked at
all hours Of the day and night 1t was
Just nightmare. Most Of the time we
were kept too busy to sleep. and We
would be so tired we could hardly
move. The constant din OF the guns of
all sizes and of the exploding shells was
enough to drive nearly all of US insane.
Perhaps this little incident will show
what condition our nerves were In. A
young fellow named Lewis and l had
chummed together for the time being.
and we rode the same route during the
entire battle. One night he came down
to headquarters just ahead OF me, and,

waiting for orders l went out to tho
petrol stores to fill up the tank on my

Ing with his back to the door Another
fellow came in carrying two empty
petrol tins. nd-unintentlonally, OF
course-he dropped them just behind
Lewis. They made quite racket, and,
coming so suddenly, Lewis jumped
over table and tainted dead away.
We were all In about the same condi-
ton, and 1t didn't take much to get q
rise out OF us. Poor Lewis was killed
the next night by falling into shell

THE STABlLIZING OF
LIVESTOCK RECEIPTS

Beginning on the tenth Of Deem
Der, shipments of livestock to the
Chicago market are being handled on
a plan that will distribute receipts
uniformly over the entire week. I'm
der the system that prevailed before
the Food Commission worked out the
new plan, receipts of livestock varied
widely from day to day, frequently
causing severe fluctuations in prices.
Territory around Chicago is now
divided into shipping zones. The first
zone extends approximately 800 miles
in all directions from Chicago, the
exact distance being varied somewhat
as necessary for engine runs.
The second zone includes territory
beyond 800 miles and up to the So
hour limit for the shipment of stock.
Federal regulations require stock in
trains to be unloaded every 80 hours
for rest. Within the first zone, live
stock will be received for the Tues
day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Chicago market. From the second
zone, stock will be received for Mon
day, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday
market. Beyond the 36-hour limit,
stock may be received for any days
market.
The entire plan is strikingly similar
to the zone system now i'm effect mt
Kansas City, and which has been en-
inently successful in giving uniform
ity to receipts at that market. This
new development in livestock shipping
is expected to be helpful in stabiliz-
ing prices and preventing serious
losses to farmers and stockmen, who
in the past have suffered when the
market broke under heavy receipts.

All day Monday the Smelling con.

US to move. Things were beginning to
look serious now, and we wondered
how much longer we would have to

Isfactory duty one could imagine.
There we were doing absolutely moth
Ing and the Germans throwing shell

to hit back, and there was nothing ex.

from under the coloners feet II didn't
bother him the lesst bit. He simply
swung his feet right up on TO the seat
and advised me to crowd on little
more speed.
Another little piece of the shell graz
ed my right leg just above the knee
IL was n mere scratch, but II scared
me as nothing ever has since. and
guess ! thought my whole leg was
gone.
The same shell that came so close tC
us caught another poor fellow and
wounded him I'm the back In twenty
nine different places, and with all this
he walked a quarter of mile to 9

CHAPTER X.
Germans Hate and Fear Canadians.

Germans Hato and Fear Canadians.
n BOUT the fifth or sixth night Of
~ the battle the Germans broke
through us and advanced nearly
q mile into our territory. They held
their gain about fourteen hours, when
We concentrated and took 1t all back
again. or course our advanced report
center retired as the Germans advanc-
ed, but l was down at the permanent
headquarters at the time, so l didn't
get any Of the excitement of the re-
tirement
When we advanced again our road
lay over ground that had been in Ger.
man hands during the few hours they
held the ground.
dispatch rider was coming over
this road just as daylight dawned. Two
wounded Germans lay on the side OF
the road, and as the rider passed one
OF them called to him and asked for
drink of water. The rider stopped,
turned around and went back, threw
his water bottle to them and then turn.
ed around and started on again. As
the rider turned these two men both
fired on him, and one of the bullets
struck part OF his motorcycle.
At the time this great battle was
raging the bombardment OF Ypres con-
tinued, and not only Ypres alone, but
all the surrounding villages and the
roads leading from one to the other

battle our corps OF dispatch riders num-
bered thlrty-one in all. At the end OF
the engagement three weeks later there
were only four OF us left out OF the
original thlrty-one who started
The Germans failed TO break us, and

the city OF Ypres. Day after day they
bOmbarded the place, so that now there
}. is not one single house left standing
For some reason the Germans contin.
ued to shell the place from time to time,
but they can't do any more damage
than what they have already done
The end OF the battle found us with
our position still intact, and don't
think they will ever come any nearer

thing to speak OF There Is no doubt
that on certain occasions both sides
have refused to take any prisoners, but
| would not care to place the RESPONSE
bility of the beginning Of the practice
in any one particular place.
There Is no do.bt Of the fact that the
Germans hate and fear the Canadians
A peculiar thing happened soon after
the Canadians so distinguished them,
selves a certain English regiment
received orders to take some trenches
at given time The officers OF this
regiment had the men fix their bayo-
nets and stick them over the parapet
of the trench several minutes before
the attack was to be made They did
so and kept clashing their bayonets
one against another and making al
awful row generally
When the whistle blew young sub
altern was the first man over the para
pet and he yelled at the top of his
voice. Come on, CanadiansW
This got the Germans goat, and our
fellows took three lines Of trenches

drop some bombs and kill few civil

enough to cause us to move the head

In the field just beside the column. 1t
was the first shell we had had In
Poperinghe, and. believe me, didn't
want to see whether there were any
to go to Boulogne. and I got started
quickly
No sooner had that shell landed than
the civilians commenced to move. 1t
was the same old story-panic every
where among the women and children,
and the road was choked with them.
The second shell landed about ten min
utes later. so | Judged they were only
using one gun, and it was a small one

ly after 10 o'clock, and at / o'clock
was on my way back. When ! arriv.
ed in Poperinghe everything seemed
as quiet as usual, and was very much
surprised, as | had expected TO lind
shells pouring into the place from all
directions.
Ii seems that the Germans had run
an armored train through and had be-
gun Smelling the town from the train.
Our artillery went into action right
away. and instead OF hitting the train
first they shelled the tracks behind the
train and tore the road all up so that
the train could not get back. Then
they took their time and blew the train
off the map
Sunday morning the shells began to
fall in the town again. aud they were
big ones this time-twelve inch,
heard later. We knew that 1t was no
armored train this time, and we knew
that we were In for n hot time.
