AMERICANS TAKE
BIC PART IN THE
CANADIAN ARMY
BY F. A. MKENZIE

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, Bay 1.-THE battle of the
Somme brought several Americans to
the fore A lad from Dennysylle.
Maine, Corporal w. H. Metcalf, who
had been through much fighting and
was several times recommended for
gallantry, won his Military Medal for a
deed of quiet courage.
Metcalf's colonel told me the story.
One afternoon during the heaviest
| fighting ON the Somme, the Germans
were making a barrage on our front.
a man hurried into the battalion dug
out to say a soldier was lying
outside the trenches in very exposed
position, with his leg shattered He
was bleeding heavily, and if anything
was to be done, it must be done quick.
Can anyone put on a bandage?" the
Colonel demanded.
81 can, in a way, Sir" Metcalf re-
piled, and, grabbing the roll, he rushed
out.
The whole place was humming and
roaring with the noise of shells. The
machine guns were beating their dew
IFS tattoo. The Colonel showed him the
way through. go and do your best. I"
Metcalf found his man, bound up his
wounds, and, since it was impossible to
move him, sat by him until he died
A young telephonist, D. A. Keeble,
from North DakGt2, attached to &C.
ton of the Canadian Field Artillery,
has done some very gallant work. At
Courcelette, one of our planes was
shot down little way from him. Now
as rule Immediately plane falls, the
enemy artillery concentrates on that
point, and prudent men stay away.
Keeble ran up to it, cut away the fusil-
ade to enable the airman to escape, and
then calmly took out the two wicker
seats and carried them off as trophies.
He had barely got off before enemy
shells rained down all around the
plane.

Shall We Spend Eternity"
Tonight Mr. Stapleton will give his

ly urged that both old and young avail
themselves of this opportunity to see
this interesting as well as instructive
sermon.

Major John Lewis, editor OF the Mon
treal Star, was an American who be-
came a British subject before the war.
Professional soldiers, who take mere
deeds of courage for granted, are loud
in praise of his conduct in the attack
on Regina Trench, on October 21st,
Isis. His party of three officers and
twenty-six men overran Desire Trench
ard reached Grandcourt Trench. Here
they maintained themselves all day,
against attack after attack by strong
bombarding parties Major Lewis sent
back telling his exact position, and say
ing that they could stay there. A box
larricade was put around them, and
then while defending themselves
against companies of Germans in front,
they passed back 200 German prisoners
they had captured. Unfortunately
Lewis himself was killed, just as he
started to come back. But he had
earned a permanent place among Can
aGas heroes.
In the costly fight of May Sth, 1915,
a regiment which has from the first had
number of Americans in its ranks,
occupied a long line of shallow trench
es, was exposed to hours of merciless
fire, and was repeatedly charged by
the finest troops of the German army.
Sergeant Pemberton of Philadelphia
did well. The battalion was losing
very heavily. Every officer save two or
three was killed or wounded. Supplies
of ammunition were almost exhausted,
there was no artillery behind and re-
serves had not yet arrived. Pemberton
helped several wounded officers out OF
tie firing line, including the founder
! of the corps. Then he took command
of his own section in the trench, and in

fury of attack had exhausted itself and
the baffled enemy retired J. c. Richard
sen of Des Moines was wounded in the
same attack. When he recovered, he
was given a commission, and after
wards transferred to the Flying Corps.
Lieutenant Birseye, of Orange, n. j.,
an American college boy who quilted
classes for soldering when the war
broke out. early earned the coveted
Distinguished Conduct Medal. He en-
tered the army as private, but won his
decoration and citizenship by going ov-
er the parapet during heavy fighting
and bringing in wounded men.
The big raid of December End
brought the Military Cross to a Port

T. Mccormick. Previous attempts had
been made to raid one part of the Ger

Federal Officials Take Over In
termed German Ships.
ACT UNDER M'ADoo's ORDERS
Vessels Now in American Ports Are
Declared to Have a Tonnage OF
About 6oo,o ,ooo-FIower of
Teuton Empires Marine.

New York, April 6.-Federal officials
seized German merchant vessels that
took refuge in Atlantic ports at the
beginning of the war, almost imme-
diately after congress passed the reso-
luton declaring a state of war be-
tween the United States and Germany.
The collector of the port at Boston
was the first to act.
Port officers acted on orders issued
by the secretary of the treasury. It is
understood that this move does not
involve confscation and that the YES
sells are held for the present as a
measure of safety.
German vessels now in American
ports number 81, with a gross tonnage
of about 100000. This includes %
ships in refuge at the Philippine
islands, IL at Honolulu and one at
Pagopago, port of the Pacific islands.
The ships lying at their slips at the
Hamburg-American and North German
Lloyd docks at New York and Ho-
boken include some of the flower of
the German merchant marine. The
Vaterland, one of the largest vessels
in the world, is by far the most valu-
able. Next in size is the George Wash.
ington, 25,570 tons. Others of more
than $4,000 tons are the President
Grant, President Lincoln and Kaiser

also are tied up here.

and tonnage, is officially announced as

HAD A CAPITAL OF s4OO
In Six Years He Was Well Off

An Alberta farmer, who had bor-
rowed from loan company, in re-
mitting to them the last payment on
his mortgage, decided to give them the
history of his experience, on a Mani
toba farm. It was that of many anoth-
er farmer, and for the benefit of those
who contemplate change the liberty
is taken of reproducing it.
II will give you here brief sum-
mary Of my experience since coming
here six years ago. was new hand
at farming, my trade being meat-cut-
ting and butchering. My capital was
$400, which was a first payment on
my quarter section (160 acres). Most
of my stock, harness, implements, ETC.,
were bought at sales, all ION time"
necessarily. The buildings on the place
were about as good as nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were 26 acres broken, and very
badly farmed, bringing poor returns
the first year." After mentioning a
number of mischances, he says: "In
spite Of all these drawbacks, I have
done well. consider my farm worth
$500 to $4,000. I have four head Of
horses, II of cattle, over 400 purebred
Buff Orpington chickens and 125 tur-
keys, besides implements, harness, ETC.,
to run my place. I have a well 17O
feet deep with an inexhaustible supply
of water. The well with pump cost
me $40O. ! have built a S125 chicken
house and put up nearly $50 worth of
poultry fencing; have built root cellars
to hold over 5000 bushels of potatoes
and other vegetables. As to income, Z
raise about ten acres of garden and
roots annually which net from 5000 to
$1,000 total. generally sell from
20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings
from Sc to $14 per ton. Ny grain is
most all used on the farm except a
few hundred bushels sold to the neigh
bors for seed. Ny four milk cows bring
in from $50 to $50 each Counting calf.
Last year 80 hens laid 600 dozen eggs
which averaged more than 25 cents a
dozen Il always work for winter egg
production). The surplus hens were
sold in spring, dressed at 81 each. My
turkeys average $3.50 each in fall. By
having vegetables to feed my young
cattle, the two-year-old steers bring
