that there Is nothing that has been

than that worthy Of an honorable gen.
tleman. And furthermore, that the
evidence leads not only to conclusion
that nothing damaging to Captain

How the entire staff of an Aus
tralian division was bl0Wnsup because
they did not look at the clock" was
related today by A. G. Cantor, former
" of the 18th Battalion, Australian
expeditionary forces, infantry. Cantor
is q passenger aboard the Sonoma in
port today and is on his way to his
Australian home after being given a
physical discharge from the British
army. He says:
During the heavy fighting for Po-
zieres, in the recent big west front
offensive, the Australians captured a
village close to Pozieres. Contrary
TO the habit of the Germans, they had
left fine old medieval town hall in
the village, IN fairly good shape. The
Australian staff, consisting Of So Of
ficers, established headquarters in the
building. They looked all over and
under the town hall for mines, but
omitted to inspect the clock in the
belfry.
AT 1880 that night, on the strike
of the half hour, the clock touched off
a powerful bomb or cache Of dynamite
in the belfry. A terrific explosion de-
stroyed the town hall, burying the
entire staff under the DEBRIS
Cantor says that his battalion, con-
sisting Of HOO men, suffered sangui-
nary losses in the Somme fighting.
But we got the Germans and smashed
right through their defenses," he said.
Cantor's division suffered badly in
this battle as somebody had blum
