GALLANTRY OF CANADIANS.
Numerous Stories of Prowess in Recent
Fighting East of Amiens.

Numerous stories are coming to
hand OF individual gallantry and init
atlve on the field in the recent fight
ing east of Amiens, says q despatch
from correspondent with the Canadi-
an forces IN France. A Manitoba bat
tailon was held up in an attack on
Fouquescourt, which lies within the
old Somme 'defenses and was strongly
held up by an elaborate trench system
OF machine guns and wire.
Realizing that the capture of the
stronghold was essential to success of
the entire operation, the commanding
officer collected all the men available
and personally led a dashing assault
into the heart of the enemy position.
A tank coming up, the officer led
this through the streets. His example
SO inspired all ranks that their ad-
vance was irresistible and after the
village had been mopped up the bat
talon consolidated position to the
east and held it against all counter at
tacks for two days.
A central Ontario battalion did
equally good work in front of Beau
court. The cavalry had been held up
mere by converging nachinegun fire
iiohl the south OF Ihe hOye road and
the woods to the north and east The
battalion was similarly held up, but
It's commanding officer realized that
the key to the position was small
wood to the northeast which was alive
with machine guns.
Taking advantage of the smoke
screen afforded by burning tank he
led in a hastily collected party and
rushed the wood, capturing 16 machine
guns. The battalion then took the town
with dash, the enemy retiring routed

In Advance Of His Aue.

The name of Bacon has been sur
rounded in England by legendary tales
of black magic and witchcraft. There
are songs about him, and he has nj
ways been a figure of mystery, even
to his modern interpreters. "Friar
Wizard" as he was called, knew too
much for his age. He wrote extensive
studies on the construction of tele-
scopes. The first mention of gunpow-
der is found in his books, and it was
be who suggested its use for purposes
of warfare.

The British government, in making
known the achievement that All tor
pedoed vessels of various classes had
been recovered and put into service
again, did not announce the total ton
mage thus restored to the allied marine.
We can only guess, but in view of the
fact that it is known that one of the
salvaged ships was large enough to car
ry cargo valued at $15,000,000 and
that the merchandise on board another
was worth $10,000,OOO, it is reasonable
to suppose that the total must be some
where between 100000 and 100000
tons. That is considerably more than

War Foods for Animals.

In several European countries,
notably Sweden and Germany, the
scarcity of cattle fodder has led to
experiments with various substitutes
for the usual feed given to cattle. 1t
has been found that dried wood pulp
provides a good cattle fodder when
mixed with molasses and albuminous
substances. In Germany straw fod-
der is being manufactured on a large
scale; while in Sweden reindeer moss
and Iceland moss are extensively USED
as fodder. Horses are said to thrive
very well on the diet of rushes.-

b MERCURY RISES

Floods arc the latest menace tn"
, national railroad fsces.
With warmer weather spreading
over the snow-pileI East, railroad
men feared Gevere damage by raging
torrents from the melting snow to-
day. Mines may be flooded in some
regions, and transportation hampcred
almost as seriously as it has been by
the recent billiards.
Fuel Administrator Garfield has
taken this possibility into account in
his refusal to lift the Monday clos
ing order until weather conditions be
come normal. Temperatures OF 40
degrees above and higher were caus-
ing rapid melting OF the deep snow

miles Of tracks. Mountain streams
and creeks are swelling hourly. many
already breaking over their banks.
Track beds are sOCgy in many places
