ket was quiet during today's early
trading with fluctuations irregular

French soldiers know Bobby Wal
thour, and long for the day when
again can be with them, in the
uniform Of the Y. NJ. c.. A., and
hear them call, as they once did:
"Ah, M'sieu Bobby!"
Nobody will know how proud
shall be of that uniform and Of the
great work that I shall be entering
upon. I believe it is the biggest
job that Bobby Walthour ever I'M
dertook, and il I can only bring
some sunshine into the lives Of
those poor, brave, French lighters,
who have held back the Hun that
we, over here in America, might
have nberty-let's not forget that
then Bobby Walthour will die
happy with the thought that he has
done something really worth while.

the thrills out of it you want
even If you, like I, have gone
through many years Of hard ath-
letic life. I have had both legs
broken several times, both arms
broken, collar bone broken "a times
on one side and had my skull frac-
tured. My body is covered with
the scars of innumerable falls in
my % years riding experience, but
/ have gotten more thrills out of
modified rugby, '1Y" ball, and cage
ball than I ever got out Of bicycl-

I am in better condition to-day
than I have ever been In my life
before as the result of my training
course at Springfield and Silver
Bay, and am simply rarin' to go.
I know I am going to enjoy my

Bicycling is an ideal sport for
a soldier. 1t builds up vitality as
not other form Of sport does, de-
manding extraordinary endurance
and testing the muscles of the legs,
heart and lungs, all of which are
fighting muscles.
Bicycling is the national sport of
France and Italy. 1t comes very
nearly being the one great interna-
tional sport, more so than our great
game of baseball, or the English
game of cricket. Bicycle racing
has prospered in France even more

alleged that oranges have been sold

Of August Nelson, was going down
Fifth avenue on a motorcycle at the
same time that H. c. Dwight was
turning around in his car in front OF
the flats with the result that the mo.
torcycle crashed into the car. Mr.
Nelson was very badly cut up about
the face from broken, glass. He was
taken to the Medical Block where DR.
AZ. w. Macdonald attended to his
needs. We are pleased to state that

badly he will not be much the worse

know nothing Of the circumstances

GOOD PLAIN TALK
AT UNION MEETING

There was union meeting of the
Congregational and Methodist church
es in the M. E. church last Sunday
evening, that was a record breaker to
start with as to attendance as well
as to the importance Of the gathering
The church building was filled to the
doors, choir loft and every available
nook and many standing besides many
going away because they could not get
in. Why all this commotion, you
might ask Well, it was only union
service but the man who was to do
the talking no doubt drew the crowd,
because they wanted to hear from
him the truth as to the stories told OF
German atrocities cover there" The
speaker was Corporal Griffith, who for
nineteen months was prisoner in
German camps and is veteran Of the
battle Of the Marine, going over with
the first Canadian contingent that has
done such valiant work in the early
stages Of the war against overwhelm-
ing odds. If one half what the cor
poral tells us is true, then the United
States and everybody with red blood
in their veins who is true American,
will not rest until he or she has done
the utmost to drive the Hun from Bel
gium and France and chased every
last one of them beyond the Rhine.
For one thing the corporal said that
everything that we had heard and
read Of the atrocities committed we
might add 100 per cent. In his own
case he was thrown on an operating
table, given no aneathetic, and with
chisel and mallet they removed nine
inches of bone from his leg, and told
him they would fix him so he could not
fight the Germans or anybody else
again. They did other things to him
that we cannot speak about here and
the frightfulness practiced by those
huns not only on prisoners but on lit-
tie children and women is enough to
sicken one as well as make them good
and mad. If there is one thing that
is going to cause the American soldier
to forget that he was raised in an at
mosphere of humanity it is these
things, and we venture the opinion
that when the American soldier gets
face to face with the Hun there will
be no mercy in his heart-he will
shoot to kill to avenge the wrongs
committed on women and children
Corporal Griffith told what great
thing the Red Cross was. He pleaded
with our people to back this great or
Ranization which he said was the
greatest asset the soldier had. He
said that nobody in the world was do
ing 50 much for the soldier boys as
the Red Cross and that their organize
ton was the most efficient. He plead
ed for the people of America to back
the boys and the war to the limit. We
wish we could give more Of his re-
marks. but we are not able to do SO.
