British Army Headquarters. Nov

element Of surprise to be worked
out successfully. .eac'
Some OF the tanks were veterans.
but many had never been In an en-
gagement before and the crews lack
ed actual fighting experience,
They crushed their way through
barbed wire easily. tearing great
gaps for the infantry. and Il was not
untir they had made "a considerable
advance that strong resistance was
encountered. The stiffest fighting
was at Lateau wood. south OF Mas
nieres. There the tanks engaged q
number of field and heavy guns, and
won their way. The tanks charged
a 5.9-inch gun and cleaned out it'
crew with It's machine guns.
The tanks have demonstrated full
ly their power in saving the live, oi
iien and IN conserving ammunition
The casualties among the infantr,
which followed the tanks into action
were exceedingly light. The CORES
pondent has heard that two battal
lions. for instance, had only one cas-
ualty each and that another suffered
the loss of only three men.

October.
The recruiting offices for the army
in this state are located at st. Paul,

The main office is located at Minnea-

Lose Lives When Home Burns

One of the saddest and most path
etic funerals ever held at Candy was
the services held for Mrs. Sander
Peterson and two little ones, last Sat
urday. Only few remnants of
charred flesh and bones of the three
we're rescued from the smoking ruins
of the Peterson farm house that was
burned to the ground Monday night
of last week. These few charred
parts of their bodies were buried in
the same casket.
According to the Candy News, the
fire probably originated from an
explosion of a kerosene stove. The
explosion scattered the flames and
threw fire on the clothing of Mrs.
Peterson. The house was a mass of
flames within few moments and it
is supposed that the children were
burned to death in their beds. The
house was burned to the ground.
Frenzied with, grief the husband
and father had to be taken away
from the scene and for a time it was
thought he would become insane over
his loss, but he is reported to have
greatly improved this week.
