prising newspaper reporter happens

which promptly arouses the neIKhbor-
hood to an indignation that very
soon makes the conscientious object
ors sorry they had either conscIences
or objections.
And woe betide the man with a
name that sounds Teutonic coupled
with a conscientious objection! Take
the case of how Colt got his. For
reasons not utterly inscrutable Gott
was persistently suspected OF the
Teutonic faint. The family produced
records to show that they were really
English and had bAen for two or
three generations: but they were all
conscientious directors. 1t was
pointed out that Gott was a fine,
thrifty specimen OF ideal military age
and physique. Also, counsel was un-

rock for ten hours a day during the
continuance of the war. 1t was au-
thentIcally reported ION the highest

Two New Military Groups.
But to get back to the combing
out procedure by which General Rob-
ertson's half million men are being
raised and IL is hoped that still
another million will be enrolled. Two
new groups for the voluntary at
testation of men over the present
military age of forty have been open
ed up. The first includes men, wheth-
er single or married, between forty
and forty-five; the second, for either
single or married men, between for
ty-five and fifty. The country has
been plastered with posters appeal
ing to men in these groups to come
forward and enroll. For the present
at least no compulsion will be re-
sorted to in enlisting men for these
though II is whispered that
II may be necessary later.
The purpose of this voluntary re-
cruiting of the oldsters is to replace
younger men who are behind the
lines in France and will thus be re-
leased for service at the front. A
proportion of them will
also be trained for service in the
home defense. For these various en-
Payments they will be assigned ac-
cording to their medical classified
tion.

From the moment our SQUADRON of

enemy the intense fire OF heavy guns
and machine guns were conferred on

enemy sought to pierce their armor,
to dislocate the turrets or to damage

crew was able to get out through the
damaged exit and join the infantry
in the advance.
Another tank broke down because
Of defective mechanism in front of an
enemy trench. The crew dismounted
and tried to make repairs under the
FIRE OF the enemy.
Finding II impossible to repair the
machinery quickly. the crew dis
mounted the rapid-hrers and ammuni-.
ton in order to prevent them from
falling into the hands OF the enemy
in case the tank was captured. This,
however, did not occur. owing to the
rapidity OF our infantry advance. An
other tank extricated itself from a
mass attack made in a desperate at
tempt to check its movements.

Throughout the lighting the crews

There is little room inside, space be-
