AMSTERDAM, Jun. 25.-Travcllers
arriving in Holland from the frontier to-day reported that bombs from the
invaders had accumulated there.
CALAIS, France, Jan. 25.--From
London to the Land of No Names is but a step, as distances go in the United States. But to the recruit in l{itch_ener's army it is the trip of a life-time.
Between Waterloo Station, the tiring
line in the north of France, there is clearly an intricate journey to be per- formed. And from Southampton on- wards it is a curiously ananymous joumey. Yet the khaki-clad passen- gers who set out for that vague place, " the front," have no doubts at all about the certainty of their flllal arrival.
A line of cliffs, a big breakwater
with a close-built town behind it; that is the French seaport which in this Land of No Names is known as Coast Base No. 3. It is the funnel through which British troops are poured into the fighting line! v
The sensation of novelty that ordlll-
arily belongs to a first landing in a foreign country is heavily discounted ill France just now. There are so many English oiiicials on the quay that it might be supposed that the Land of No Names had temporarily become a British colony.
And so, kit on back, rifle ill hand,
haversaek and bayonet on left hip, water bottle on right, Kitchener's soldier bumps down the narrow gang- way and steps on to the soil of France. Active service has begun.
it is not very inspiring country that
you pass throulh to reach the point. The great open spaces of a French lalliiscape, unllrokcu by hedge or touco. with their eternal lines ot’ naked willows, have rt bare, bedrag~ glcd look on a wet winter‘s day, but lt is a fine colllltry to fight ill, and that is the business at hand.
And as the train draws near the
clld of _tho line, perhaps during the silence of a. stop. there comes out of _t_ho distance a faillt deep. sullen
Woof! " You hardly notice the
sound at first. A moment later it comes again, “Woolf ” like a sllort, husky cough. ami then thc idea sud- dcllly _downs almost with surprise,
“ Guns! "
The real thing at last!
From rail terminal you march up
towards the trenches. Long, straight roads. lined with a double row of trees. The column must keep well to its own side, for thc other is filled with supply wagons going up and down, nlotor om- nlbuses and touring cars whose coach- Wiifk. which four months ago you Could soo your face ill, is now cnkcd with tho accumulated _mud of tllou-

barn. Plenty of clean straw to sleep on. -
Next morning there is kit and rifle
inspection, and perhaps a lecture by the commanding officer on the things to be remembered in the trenches. to which the battalion is going next nigllt. The men sleep during most of the day, for only when it gets dark can the work of relieving the men who are now in the trenches begin.
it is a weird experience, that march
out from the farmhouse into the night. Silence and no smoking-the only thing to occupy the attention is the vivid flashes and loud reports towards which the battalion is marching.
There are several ways of getting
into trench; sometimes a soldier can come up to them under the shelter of a wood, or when there is neither of these means of protection he can crawl along the ditches bordering the fields behind them.
If it is a case of advancing to the
trenches under fire it is often well to do so over the open ground at wide intervals ill short rushes.
One man to zt yard is thc rule. Here
and there a man is told off to keep a look-out the enemy, showing as little of hinlself as possible, for the German sllarpshooters will shoot even the fore- sight of your rifle if you leave it lyillg on the parapet. Otherwise the order most frequently heard in the trenches is "Keep down,“ for it is very tedious, huddled into a ditch only four and a half feet deep, and the i.e_mptatioll to get up and stretch is great.
"Tile safest placc ut this war is ill
thu firing line," said a soldier wllo came back on leave. “lt is getting into t.lle trenches or leaving them tllat men get hit; once inside you’re pretty safe."
Food is brought up onco a day to thc
nearest convenient place behind the lines. a farm or a shelter specially rigged up. 'l‘o men fronl each section are told off or volunteer to go back and get the supply. it is usually a mixture of hush nlld beans and potatoes in a tin, alld when it is warmed up it makes an irish stew that semis a wnrlnth down to numbed toes and frozen fingers. Then there are biscuits-not very popular-and bread and tea, and a jlggcr of runl to be taken at night.
Sometimes the 24 or 48 hours duty
ill the trenches is varied by il (lorlnan attack. An o`dd sight., as the men wilo have hot-n through it l-uly, illose dense lines conllng on, falling, wavering, hrcnking, closing up again, lying down nt, lilo word of' colnnland, rising on their klloos to let off n ragged volley, then down ngain, then rlnothcr :ui- vance. only to ho sioppcd nt lm-at by the abr-loluto certainty of dcnlll l'or every lllnn if the attack is not recalled. The British nlaxims rattle like all ofiicc full of typcwriters. thc mon fire till the wood casing of their rifles is
hot. to the hand.
However close the wave of foemen
struggles it does not worry the British soldier now. The new principle is 25 yards of clear ground ill frollt ol’ his trench, and then, with one rifle to every yard. the British--believe they can' beat off any possible attack that can bc delivered. That is the new principle. in fact. the English army has ceased to care mucll about having a big field of fire ill front of its trenches. “Let ‘em come and then brown 'enl," is the maxim in this war.
AMSTERDAM. Jan. 25.-A German military newspaper announces a new naval gun of 16-inch calllbre and a_ range of 25 miles.
AMSTERDAM, Hollalld, Jall. 25.-
An expert says if the German state- ment is correct the new gun will have 58 per cent. more muzzle force than the best British navy weapon and can shoot across the English Channel and six miles inland.
(This news about the gun is not
confirmed. lt seems incredible-and likely is.) _

The Burns Anniversary concert is
always looked forward to as the musi- ral event of the season. and that of last night fully measured up to expec- tations. Tile spacious People‘s Thea- tre was filled to its utmost capacity. notwithstanding tilat the weather was anything but agreeable. The pro- gramme began. as all Scottish con- certs invariably do, promptly oil time,
hitch and without an uninteresting ‘moment The best musical talent in the city was represented on the pro- gramme. The musical selections were among the finest in Scotch minstrel- sey, while the drills and dances by the younger set-many ol' them very young-were executed with splendid
precision and evidenced careful train- ng. A. distinct Scottish atmosphere pervaded the performance not only in the bogpipe music and vocal selec-_ tions, but in the picturesque Highland costumes wornfby many of the per- formers. A particularly beautiful bit of stage netting was that in which a number of artificial Scotch thlstles were represented, some of them elec- tricaly illuminated. and surrounded by is score or more of lassies wearing Highland colours. A feature of this scene wls a solo by Master Thomas
the interior of one of the "thistles" gave in excellent voice s military se- lection which greatly delighted the au- dlence.

l find that the object of this assoc-
iation is for the purpose of removing existing disabilities and to promote just and equitable principles of trade and commerce in general and the in- terest of the Province and Summer- side in particular. l take it that we are not carrying out the full intention of the Board if we stop at freight rates, railway tiekekts and boat sail- ings nn'd similar things, but we should embrace everything tllat is for the betterment oi' Sunlmerside. Why not, for instance. sometimes act as a sort of advisory board to our Town (foun- cil. l am sure that body would wel- come sny suggestion coming froln us. l know‘ l often wlslled for something along those lilies myself when l serv- cd at the Council Board.

Three lectures were delivered dur-

R.. with the result of having the very annoylllg and much talked of “thrse short hauls" removed. and this grievance ls now one of the relics of the past. _Our morcllants now can get

I looked into the matter and found that each time the company's charter was renewed by our legisla- ture it was distinctly stipulated that the rates were to remain as before. I took the matter up with the Premier and after a most diligent search by the Government officials- they failed to find the agreement between the company and the government jby which the rates were fixed.
