BRITISH SOLDIER
. WRITES TO SISTER
At Front for Past Three Years
Has Good Impression
of Americans.

Mrs. Andrew Watson. SOC +.
Mishawaka av., has received an in
teresting letter from her brother.
James McAllister, who is in the
British army service corps in
France. having been at the front
for the past three years. In the
course Of the letter hes says. Il
was speaking 10 an American SOL
der today and enjoyed the CONVEX
sation very much. What do you
think about our aerOplanes going
over 20 Germany yesterday and
dropping over ton Of bombs on
la very important town? They did
some damage all right. I'm glad
they have started doing something
alOng these lines, because the Huns
drop their bombs to kill civilians.
and damage churches. hospitals,
etc. I have seen cemeteries churned
and the bones Of the dead strewn
all over the place. In a speech to
his troops only yesterday the kaiser
said again that the Lord was on his
side! The bug house will be his
resting place. He's undoubtedly in
sane. Guess the American army
will give him a sample what it can
do once the good weather comes
around.
End is Not Yet.
II can see no end to this war.
IL must be carried on until the
kaiser's hordes are beaten 'off the
face of the earth. and German mill
itarism crushed forever.
"I have given quite a few Of the
American Red Cross officers a lift
along the road. They are all good
fellows and are liked very much
by our Tommies.
Although I am still safe and
sound. my mate and I have had
some narrow squeaks lately. Our
lorry is pretty we'll marked with
shrapnel A piece hit me on the
'napper' two days ago. but my he'll
met saved me We don't worry
very much over little things like
that as they happen almost every
day The only thing we don't like
is the gas and the bombs
Mr. McAllister is a native OF
Ayrshire and previous TO the war
was located at Vancouver. 3. c. He
happened to he home on a visit
when hostilities broke Out and i'm
mediately joined the colors.

 Two departments have been created for special work in safeguarding the lives and health of ship yard workers land men are encouraged to report even the slightest scratch for treat ment, so there may be no danger of infection
 The rate of accidents is constant ly decreasing" said an official state ment, and it is confidently predicted that within the next few months the ship yards will be showing a lower rate than the most favored private in du5trial institutions"
