British Front in Belgium, Oct. 3l.-
The forces of Crown Prince Rupprecht
of Lavaria today suffered another
stinging defeat when the British
reached out across the sea of mud and
wrenched away still more of the re-
naming few defenses of the enemy's
Passchendaele system. 1t has been
another proud day for Canada. Her
troops this afternoon were sitting al
most at the gates of Passchendaele
and from their positions astride the
Broodseinde- e-passchendaele highway
along the ridge they could see, only
four hundred yards away, the great
church which stands in the center of
the village.
Battling Their Way.
While the Canadians are battling
their way forward here in the face
of severe resistance from the Eavar'
ians, comrades on their left are ham,
mcring their way along the Mettchelle,
or Bellevue spur, to points which
seemed to have carried them well be-
yond the hamlet of Mettchelle and
the numerous machine gun lefenses
with which the elevation was covered.
There was sanquinary fighting in both
sections German losses were heavy

to bring their line forward and pro.
tect the Canadian flank. The men
from the British Isles knew that this
must be done. and they did it.. How
they accomplished this drive through
the clinging mud, PROBABLY, they them
selves could not tell.
One heavy counter attack delivered
by the Bavariafls as early as eight
o'clock from Masselmarkt against the
Canadians was caught by artillery and
machine gun fire and smashed. The
gain on the Canadian front averaged
between 800 and 1000 yards along
most of it.

COMMENCEMENT EVENTS.
JUNIOR BANQUET

On Thursday evening, June 9Th, at
eight o'clock, the annual junior ban
quet was given in honor of the seniors
in the dining room of the Presbyterian
church, being served by the ladies of
the church.
The room and tables were very pret-
tily decorated with flowers and class
colors.
Covers were laid for ninety-fve with
neat place cards, and at the plate of
each graduate of II, white rose lay.
The menu consisted of three courses, a
fruit salad, meat course and ice
cream and cake. Everything was very
nice and all did ample justice to the
repast. The sophomore girls waited
upon the tables and Mrs. l.. Roy Fuller
acted as head waitress.
After the feast, the tables were clear
ed and punch served each guest. Jack
Jardine then introduced the toastmas-
ter, Supt. N. j. Drouyor, who of course
needed little introduction, his long res
idence amongst us and his filling this
Office many times so acceptably and
his happy faculty for speechmaking
having won him popularity and an en-
yied reputation.
With witty and pleasant remarks the
toastmaster introduced the follow
ing persons for the various toasts and
responses. The program proved very
enjoyable and the junior banquet OF
1917 goes down in history just as ex-
cellent and as successfully carried out
as any of its predecessors.
