the gaze of their small children, re- yealing a large hand painting of. a puriing brook and gallon bottle of spring water-and the knowledge that plenty of fluid was at hand would instantly quell the juy y.nile craving for the unattainable.
 "JcE sitting was the best thing we did. With many means and groWls the restless populace from Bosky Crest sat and waited and glared at the gloomy residents of Sylvan Dells. No marchers appeared. Time went on. If my brothers youngest child had really received all the water he yelled for the coroner would have called it a justifable drowning I am sure
 Other peoples children tramped on my tight shoes and Imogene grew hoarse begging me in ;Eage whispers to keep still, for heavens sake! Two hours after we had grown to the spot spot there was a wild yelp of joy and the military company appeared. This is where learned to dislike heartily Bertha's West Point nephew.

MEN WHO CAME BACK
The Raid at otterpool Camp.

By Quartermaster Sergt. W. w. 10 Fellows
 5th Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery.
 My memory hasn't been very good for details since I was gassed, but I just recall lying as a prisoner in a German trench trampled and kicked around. I didn't care any more about that than they did, for that matter. I was just partly conscious, and not interested in what became of me at that time.
 I had been out with our patrol re- pairing the lines of communication. We had wiggled slowly across No Mans Land in the moonlight, had fin- ished the trick and started back. It was getting light, perhaps about four in the morning, and the German bull lets were whistling around us.
 Then we saw a low cloud coming and we know what it was. The Ger man poison gas. It is heavy and all ways creeps close to the ground. There was a little rise in the ground ahead of us, small hill and we made for it. We thought if we could only reach the top of that hill we could get out of the gas fumes. I was not quick enough. I got a few breaths of the stuff and fell to the ground.
 ! -=I awoke in the German dugouts iI a. hazy condition. My mother 1T 1 Winnipeg received a telegram that was missing, probably killed.
 Later, days, or weeks, do not know I reused again in good hands in Bligh' ty. I did not know anything, but they looked at my identification disc, anC sent my mother another message, tell ing her the first was mistake.
 have learned since that there wal a big battle and our boys re-took thu position and rescued me and othe prisoners that they had not had tim to take away back. And they tool a lot of German prisoners as well.
 When I got my strength back agail and was in fair shape in England, Zeppelin attack put me out of bushes again.
 That raid was at Otterpool Camp lighted up and, of course, a mark fo the Zeppelins. When we heard then over us the 9th Brigade trumpeter gave Lights out" on their bugles and that sound was just the help tn Huns required. They knew then tha they had hit the mark, and they pro ceeded to drop twenty or thirt bombs. They killed somewhere aroun seventy of our men,. I was one O the wounded. The finally shipped tn ninety eight pounds of me that wer left. back to my mother in Canada But I am in pretty fair shape nov and am all right for recruiting duty

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
suffraae and States Rights.

Mir. EditoE Since when has the re- publican party adopted the states rights theory into their platform? Is Connecticut indeed so reactionary that she is ready at this late day to assume an attitude already discarded in a large measure by the members of the original states rights party the democrats of the south?
 Are we one great nation. lowing to the will of the majority. or does Con- necticut repudiate the Constitution of the United States and refuse ito ack- nowledge that the will of three-quar- ters of our states is a proper major ity to determine the fundamental prin- ciple of democracy, "the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government?''
 The republican party in their recent convention expresses fear of dictation from outside the state upon the suf- frage question but the democratic par .ty endorses thea federal suffrage amendment and pledges the party's s aid towards it's ratification.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society.

Hazebrouck. - The National Geo graphic society's war geography bull letin gives the following brief descrip- ton of Hazebrouck, now being men tioned so frequently in connection with a German drive toward the channel ports:
 Situated on the banks of the Bourre and connected with the River Lys by canal Hazebrouck is built upon marsh land, as it's name signifies Cthe marsh of the shares). It is only 37 miles by rail southeast of Calais and 19 miles southwest of Ypres.
 Not only on account of it's favor able location in an extremely fertile agricultural section, but because of it's excellent transportation facilities, 1t enjoyed an extensive trade before the war. especially in grain and hops. Its with cloth weaving taking precedence Dyes, starch, leather, beer, soap and oil were other products. The cattle market had quite countryside repu- tation.
 "Hazebrouck is a typical Franco Flemish town of 13,0o0 inhabitants The Flemish language is still to be heard here occasionally.
 "The importance of Hazebrouck to the contending armies is due to its railways. It is the junction point fo1 the all-important lines from Dunkirk and Calais. To the east these lines run, or did run, to Ypres Armentieres Lille, Bethune and Arras.
 "The architectural pride of Haze brouck was it's famous 260-foot spire belonging to the Church of Saint Eloi 18th century edifice. Inasmuch as il has been within the range of the Ger man long range guns for some days il is doubtless a heap of ruins now, suf- fering the fate of the Rheims cathe- dral Another medieval structure o1 interest is the 16th-17th century Au- gustinian convent which in modern times has been converted into hos pital,
 "The inhabitants of Hazebrouck be- fore the war were largely employees o1 the railways which made this theil | junction point.
 Eight miles from Hazebrouck, in s southeasterly direction. is the little city of Lillers, noted as the place where the first artesian well was sunl to a depth of 65 feet in the 12th ol | 18th century Artesian derives it! name from the fact that this is in the Arteis district of France"

Our occasional Sabbath pill grimages invariably fall on the days when it rains buckets or I want to sleep or train the canary bird, and set out toward LemueTs roast beef and ice cream with stern and rock bound countenance. I have no doubt that he and his wife are exactly as glad to see us and are demanding of high heaven why they were so unfor- tunate as to invite us on that par ticuiar Sunday, when they might just as well have asked us for the Sunday after Life is like that. you know.

The government recognizes that 1t will be necessary to make provisions for an increase in the number of men. that the army must be further augmented and that there cannot be waste of time in looking after such needs. but if there ara sui ticient to take care of the requirements in view of the Limitations which pre- vail in the way of training camps and shipping facilities it is of course pref erable that we should wait until September or some date in the not dis tant future that plan may be per- fected which will produce the best re- suits.

BEATING THE u-eoATs.

It is an interesting statement which is put forth by the navy department to the effect that the shipping loss of the allied and neutral nations as the result Of the operations of the sub marines during the month of May amounted to about 25S 900 tons. This shows a decrease of over 122, 900 tons In comparison with the previous month and makes it apparent that either this was a period during which the C-boats were letting up in their ruthless operations or else the oppo- sition which is being encountered is seriously interfering with their suc- cess. The figures seem to bear out the claim which has been made by the British authorities to the effect that the underwater boats are being sent 10 the bottom twice as fast as they are being built.
 Our estimate does not of course cor respond with that which was put forth by Germany for the same month. In fact it couldn't be expected to for when Germany claims that over 6o0,- 900 tons of shipping were destroyed in May it is indulging in the same ex- aggeration which has characterized the shipping losses in the past. It is figuring on the same elaborate plan hat it did when it promised that Eng and would be starved out in six months.
 But in connection with the esti- mated losses it is of much interest to note that the ship production in this country alone is rapidly reaching the point where it will not only offset the losses sustained but will actually ex- ceed them. Thus the submarine is be- ing successfully fought from two di- rections and the menace is steadily diminishing.

DR. scHERER's RESIGNATION.

Dr. Scherer of Pasadena, chief field agent of the national defense council and president of Throop College of Technology, has sent in his resigna ton as chief field agent in an open letter to Secretary Baker. who is chairman of the council, because he has received what amounts to orders to refrain from criticising William R. Hearst and his newspapers. The re- strictions which have been placed up- on his freedom of address in connec- ton with his work applies to these papers because it is against them that he has been talking, and he is unwil- ing to continue the work which he has been doing under any such re- strictions.
 The newspapers against which Dr. Scherer has been talking have not been restrained in their expressions. They have expressed opinions which have not always displayed patriotism, but on the other hand they have been frequently and consistently criticised for the lack of it and for the aid which they have thus contributed to the ene- my. This has been fully recognized by the German press. While news papers insist upon the freedom of ex- precision they cannot object to criti- cisms which are made of their state ments. and that is the view which Dr. Scherer takes of the matter and the great surprise to him is that he should be restrained in his criticisms by a representative of the government which the newspaper criticisms seri- ously involve. 1nasmuch as the pa pers concerned have been outspoken without government restraint Dr. Scherer takes a plausible attitude when he insists that he should not be gagged when it comes to combat ting them.

CANAL TRANSFORMATION.

Not a little dependence has been placed upon the utilization of the new barge canal in New York state to help out on the transportation problem dur ing the months when that waterway is free from ice this year. If used to capacity it is estimated that 10000 900 tons of freight can be handled by that method and all such help that can be obtained is needed.
 . Considerable anxiety has been ex- pressed of late lest the changes in the rates for freight movement should re- suit in the price fixed for transporta- t1on on the barge canal being made the same as that on the rail- roads. The result of that would be tc overcome to a large extent the helI that was anticipated from the water way for because of the quicker deliv-
 cry that might be expected the de
 mand would be for the despatch ot freight by rail rather than by water inasmuch as there would be no ad. vantage secured by the latter method This would mean the continuance ot
 the rail congestion while the cana would be calling for business.
 Such a situation appears to have been fully anticipated and overcome by the fixing of a different rate fol
 the canal than for the railroads. tho canal charge being the lower. That
 provides an incentive for sending
 goods, where such can be done, b,
 the waterway rather than by rail, es. pecially when two to three dollars z ton can be saved by such action. Bu
 with lower rates for canal transpor tation the need of having suficien vessels to keep them moving is clearl,
 manifested and 1t will be most unfor, tunate if that situation is not prop 1 erly taken care of.
