MEN WHO CAME BACK
close.up View of Hun in Action


 . Copyrighted by the British Canadian Brown, Fifth Royal Highlandefs, Black Watch Commanding Indian apoiia Depot, B. c. R. M
 It was during the second battle of Ypres that I had my first "elese -up'' view of Hun in action
 With the aid of gas they had pene- trated the trenches to our left and were beginning to move around to our rear to surround us. This was tenn perarily stopped by our men swing ing cut into>-the open at right angles to the trench, leaving the machine guns to hold the old fort. At dawn i it was found necessary to draw them back into the trench in order to have protection during the day.
 Then when our losses were so heavy we were about to retire a few of the "Blffs,H one of Britain's famous old Fesiments with glorious traditions be- | hind them, arrived as endorsements, and it was decided to holr our original l line as long as possible. As we filed back in the trench a. few of the Bluffs happened to be in the lead. Not knowing the Germans were in that same trench a little farther along, we came on them unexpectedly. I round : ed the corner just in time to see them lay down their rifles and set to work building hafricade across the trench aided by a number of other men in the uniforms of the French and of ou1 own Highlanders. Just as the realiza- ton came on Us that there were nc French or Canadians there, We saw them pick up their rifles and oner fire on our unarmed men who were working there. Then we came or them in force, and they tried theil well known "Kamarad" ruse. But eul unarmed men who had already seer some of their comrades shot dewl were not deceived by the uniforms ant did not walk into that trap. Some Q those Huns were able to get away hH we got the rest of them.
 Those were the first days of tn, heavy fighting for the Canadians. " proved to our own satisfaction, as vel as to all others, that the green Cana dians, whom the German press had $, ridiculed, were able to keep up thei end when confronted by terrible odds It is wonderful now to be back her ',I and see the spirit Of the U. S. in tn preparations you are making. You too. are beginning to realize that if VI do not beat them. over there we vii have to do it here later, and at !; great disadvantage.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Salvation Army Fund For War Work

Salvation Army Fund For War Work
 MT. Editor: In its campaign to raise one million dollars for war work, the Salvation Army will this week make sn effort to raise one thousand dol lars from the people of Norwich. as their contribution toward the national total Every dollar contributed by the people of Norwich will be a contribu- tion direct for the benefit of the boys in the service. The money will be forwarded without one penny of ad- ministration expense.
 The Y. M. c. A., the Knights of Co., lumbus and the Young Mems Hebrew Association have all raised their funds to carry on their war work, and each of these organiza tions is doing most commendable work. This does not mean, however, that the work which the Salvation Army is doing is a du- plication of that being done by the others. The demand for work of this sort far exceeds the supply.
 Great as has been the work done | through these other agencies and | which will be done through them in 1 the future, the Salvation Army was l the first agency of this sort in the field it's officers being sent over from | England with the first expeditionary force to go over to France. No work of this kind has probably been car ried on so economically, or at so great
 a personal sacrifice by the workers The Army's funds are now practically exhausted, however, and it is for this
 reason that after being in this service for three and one half years it is nov | making it's first general appeal to thu
 American people.
 Some of our Connecticut boys il France have written home the strong
 est possible endorsements of the wori done for them nT the Salvation Army This project is also indorsed by Pres ident Wilson, Governor Holcomb ant
 the state council of defence.
 The people of Norwich have giveI
 repeatedly and generously to the va rious worthy calls which have conn for funds for the benefit of our sol diers and sailors. Knowing this fact
 and being satisfied of the merit of tn
 appeal of the Salvation Army, tn
 undersigned committee of Norwicl
 citizens write this communication t
 endorse the effort of raising the on
 thousand dollar fund in Norwich. : The workers of the Salvation Arm
 will carry on their canvass in Nor
 wich, beginning Wednesday, Februar
 27th, and ending Saturday, March 2nt 1918. All who wish to contribute an who are not seen by any solicitor ca give their money to Col. Charles W Gale at the Thames National Banl who will be the local treasurer of thi
 fund. All money collected by the so . licitors will be turned over to Celons Gale, to be forwarded to the stat treasurer of the work, who will the : forward it to the national fund. Non 3 of the money will go to the local Sal
 vatien Army work, and none of it wi
 go to the expense of carrying on tn . campaign.
 si Will you please respond genereusl ? when the solicitation is made of you ' Very respectfully yours.

which keeps Turkey in touch with Arabia and it's forces there. While the Arabs have been driving the Turks back the possession of this line by the British would not only be of much aid but it would interrupt the Turk ish communications and supplies and thus be of great help to the Arabians.
 The taking of Jericho means never theless that the hold of the Turks on Palestine Is fast being shaken. Where the next blow will be struck by the British commander is not indicated but it seems probable that he will push to the east and north at the most favorable points and strike with the success which has characterized his operations in that region, where he has certainly been pounding hard at Turkeys back door.
