Long History Of Heroism
The Fifth Division; with Devon.
and Kents and Cornwall light in.
fantry, have a long history OF hero
ism, which ended for time on the
western front when they left the mud
swamps OF Flanders to go to the sun
shine of Italy. Now they are back
again, and were here in time to call
the enemy to a halt at Mervile and
to fight back through the country
around Bapaume by Achiet-l -le-Peti,
| and Premibrouk, with the New Zea-
! landers in comradeship.
The Third Division holds within its
own records the history of this war
since the autumn of 1914. They knew
days when our guns were low. and
in the Ypres salient the enemy strafed
us by day and night and we could
hardly answer back. They knew what
ii meant in the water-l logged trenches
by st. Eloi and on the bluff up there
beyond Ypes, and in the first battles
of the Somme. They lay outside
LOngueval and Bazentin under storms
of fire, but drove the enemy down to
Gulliemont and made him fear them,
those Sufolks, East Yorkshires and
Gordons and Royal Scots.

and Irish hattalions--al all too few Irish
hattalions-who throughout this war

Often it has been necessary to hide
the names of their battalonS and
divisions to prevent the enemy know

are in smaller units than Australians

are quickly identified. It has been

narrow fur girdle ending in three
fluffy little balls of fur. The lining,
chosen with care, is dull gold silk
shot with blue.

vIVES there a being who has
never tasted the famous Seckel
IL pear? If so, let him speed to
Henry R. Hallowell & Sons, Broad
below Chestnut street, before he is
an hour older. While these pears are
the harbingers of autumn, they will
not last forever, and when you have
a chance at good thing, take it:
The present crop is from the orchard
of Mrs. Solomon Runyon, of Run
yon Valley, California. Yes, that is
her "really, truly" name, and she
manages with the help of California
sun and soil to send US Seckels finer
and bigger than we often get them,
for, while the highest favored pear
known, they are also among the
smallest. And don't forget when
biting into their juicy brown and
yellow cheeks that they originated
on a farm near Philadelphia and
took their name from the owner, Mr..
Seckel.

out any possibility that the ship struck

lively little noise, but caused the ship
to buckle in a most extraordinary man

bottom and was bent and torn clear to
the upper deck and seemed likely to
break in two at any moment.
In spite of the extent of the damage
done to the Galway Castle. some of the

hardly greater than that Of the vessel

THE expression, Casting oil
upon troubled waters," must
have been invented when oil
was plentiful enough to waste, and
would never have been coined these
days when olive oil is growing
scarcer and scarcer. Both France
and Italy have forbidden it's expor-
tation from their lands, and the
United States, to save ship space,
has prohibited its importation, so
there will be no evasion of the law
A comparatively small amount of
imported olive oil remains in this
country. and this is rapidly decreas-

we may want more patience yet.
In our army the men are glad of a
short respite from fighting, for in spite
of all our recent victories and light
losses, which we have recorded truly
enough, the price OF victory is always
tragic. Some good comrades have
fallen in recent days, and the fatigue
OF battle is enormous and cannot be
endured forever.
Some GLORIOUS Divisions
> Sir Douglas Haig's tense and brief
history of the divisions that have
played the chief part in all this fight
Z ing will gladden. the men, because they
are proud of their divisions, and like
the world to know what they have
done, and their folk at home From
time to time we have been allowed
to mention some of these divisions
the glorious F'ifty.first of Highlanders
and Sixty-second of Yorkshires, who
Just have captured Havrincourt after
many other battles; the SiXty-third
Naval Division, who took Queant and
I Pronville after a triumphant progress
from Logeast Wood to La Barque,
but never in so complete a list as is
now given by the commander-in-chief.
Perhaps the numbers of divisions do
not mean much to the world yet but
f<x nc hn fhrnIph these
years of war in France each one of
I them has fame of its own associated
with many of these ruined villages
which lie in the wide tract of desola-
ton through which our men have
fought backward and forward
In these years we have seen them
going into battle and going out in
their weakened ranks. We sat down
Z in their battalion messes and looked
for remembered faces and have not
I found them. We have passed them
along roads and at times, knowing
: them by signs on their transport and
by the look of them, and we have met
them before defeat and before victory
[ in their trenches and dugouts, ii
observation posts looking to the Ger
man lines, and have had jokes and
laughter with them and have heard
strange tales from them and of theil
sufferings and their sacrifices in the
worst days as we'll as in their best
and have recorded, as well as may be
their daily achievements.
