FROM SHORNCLIFFE
Captain J. S.; Jenkins Gives flood
News About a
Boys in England.
The following very interesting let-
ter has been received by Dr. S. R. Jenkins from his son, Captain J. -S. Jenkins, A. M. C. M. O. 25th Batt., stationed at Shorncllife, England:
I have no doubt that you are very
anxious and annoyed at not receiving letters from me for the past three weeks. I sent a cable to father at Halifax, but have had it returned marked "Not there." Since then I have had a letter from Gee telling me that father was home from Halifax. 1 have sent off another cable alld no doubt you will have received it and noted the cause of the letters not ar- rlving.
I was unfortunate enough while rid-
ing a western horse, to have him come back and fall over on me, pinning me under him. it seemed that he lay on me for a minute or more, but I expect it was only seconds. It happened about 100 yards from the Queen's Canadian Hospital. I was able to get up after the accident, and made my way with the horse to the Hospital. There I had a temporary splint put on my right arm, and rode the horse back to camp, about three miles. My right knee was badly bruised and cou- siderable fluid on it. My right hip was badly bruised and my right fore- arm broken in two places, a small crack in the Radius and the (Iorauoid Process of the Ulna torn off. Other- wise I was all right as you see fronl the fact that I was able to ride home, although the jourlley was somewhat painful. Next day l went to Shoru- cliffe, and it was there that the X-Ray revealed the diagnosis. I was admit- ted to the Helena Hospital for Offi- cers, and was unfortunate enough to have spent my birthday there. While there, ir Robert Borden visited the Hospital and spoke quite a few words to me. l remained there only a few days and am now back on duty with my arm ilrplaeter.-i~lind-it very-awk ward, however, working with my left hand, and also fllld it very annoying having someone to assist me to dress and undress. They wanted me to stny in the Hospital much longer, butl was afraid that if I remained away from the regiment, that I would get olli of touch with things, and might possibly get left behind when the regiment left for France, and I am very desirous that this should not happen.
It is very amusing. wherever l go I
am asked "Where were you hit and

how are you getting along,” everyone thinking that I was wounded at the front, and I come ill for a lot of sym- pathy which I do not deserve. I ex- pect it will be another mollth before my arm is taken out ol’ plaster. I do not anticipate any trouble such as a stiff jolllt, although it is fractured quite near the joint. My great difll- culty is a matter of sleep. I find it very hard to lie on my back, alld oc- casionally turn over on my side, with the result tilat I lie on it and then have to right my position again. This oc- curs several times during the night, so that I have to go to bed very early in order to get sleep enough.
l intend to go down to London to
see some specialist there. I may leave this afterllobll or to-morrow morning, and will likely stay ut the Royal Au- tomobile Club, of wllicll we are all honorary members, and there they have an excellent valet service, so that it won‘t be necessary for me to take my servant alollg with me.
I expect to be away about a week
as l think I need the rest. I have car- ried oll my work since leaving the Hospital ill spite oi’ my arm, only be- ing ofi' two days from duty with it, these being the days I was in the Hospital. I have applied to have Joc transferred to our Battalion, and I will have him employed us one of my Medical Orderlies.
Yesterday I received very nice let-
ters from Grandfutller, Gee and Norah. l anl so glad to hour that you are all well and happy. Grandfather certain- ly is a wollder.
Dr. Scrimiger, who was on the Staff’
of the Royal Victoria Hospital with me, has received the V. C. He was a small, delicate little nlan, and it came as a. great surprise to all of us wllo knew. He did not go over with his regiment on account of’ illness, he having been almost constantly ill
land until he joined his regiment on the 22nd April, and on the 25th he won thc V. (‘.. It was n, nlarvellolls bit of luck,
i see the Islanders frequently, al-
though they are greatly scattered, be- illg ill every regiment in the Division, and hear vcry good reports of them. I au: having Bell, my Orderly, promot- ed to Sergeant and a clmp by the name of I.all'Tl on the Sanitary Squad also proluoicd to Sergeant. They are both very lille chaps, Gerald Peters is doing very well indeed, and uevcr parades sick and is always able to stick out the longest route marches. You can tell Dr. Conroy that I have soon l~‘rnnk and he looks very well indeed, ami is very much taken up with his work. Roy Fitzgerald is here with the 3rd C. M. R.. but I hill/9 not seen him.
Fred Mncrao is Instructor in the

Major Thomas claimed before the commission that the trucks would not bo uceded till the second division went to the front and that they would be sent straight to France instead of to Englulld. It was urged on the other hand that the delay in shipping the trucks would delay the sending of the second contingent to the frollt. it is lcarlled, however, that they are now being sent to England.

LONDON. Aug. 13.-Field Marshal
Voll Hilldenburg has iakell command of the German army attacking Kovno, According to the latest German offl- cial report, Germans have made fur- ther progress fighting 'ugainst the Russians in that region. Tile selec- tion of Germany's national hero for the duty of capturing the fortress of Kovno, which stands between the Germans and Vlllla and Warsaw-Pe trograd Railway, is an indication of the importance which the German gen- eral staff attaches to this operation. News that civilians colnmollced to evacuate Kovno as well as Vllna led to the belief ill many quarters that the Russians either had decided to give them up, or had no hope of hold- ing them. Now, however, they are flglltillg hard to retain both cities. The latest report from Petrograd claimed that the Russians repulsed all German attacks, except on one point, where a desperate artillery en- gagement is in progress. Further north between Poniewescll alld De- velliski, where General Von Buelow weeks ago was advancing rapidly towards the railway, the Germans np- pareutly suffered a set-back, for the Russians speak of pressing them back. They declare they have reroccupied the town of Tovill, which is considerably west oi’ the poillt which the Germans have penetrated. ln South Riga also the Germans are said to be doing lit- tlo more than holding their own, so tllat the talked-of advance toward Petrograd seems to be developing very slowly.
On the other hand the Germans
continue to drive ill the Russians to the northeast of Warsaw, and with the capture of Siedlec are within u short distance of the Bug River, one of the main supports of the Brest- Litovsk lille, which if was believed the Russians originally inteudcti to hold, bllt which the German offensive op the northeast nluy prevent. Field Marshal Voll Mackeuzen, wllo conl- mands tllc Germans ill the southeast between Vieprz and Bug is again re- ported to have .been held up by a Rus- slan counter-attack. Military circles declare that if he is not farther soutll than he was a week ago, he is cer- tainly farther north. The majority of military critics consider it hardly like- ly that the Grand Duke Nicholas will try to head for Brest-Litovsk front.
