EDITOR OF GERMAN PAPER.

LONDON, 'Nov. 26.-Maximilian

Harden, editor of Die Zukunft, of Ber- lin in the latest issue of his news- paper received here tells his country- men that they must expect a war of exhaustion. He ridicules the German talk about the Swedish intervention, and t}_le idea that Russia will conclude a separate peace. He says he con- siders it no sign of .strength that the German Government steadily refuses to disclose "its war aims,” and blames the Government for making "too much noise" about food regulations.

Herr Harden says the soil of Ger-

many is free, and her armies are everywhere in enemy territory, but that none of._her enemies has _been disarmed, that none of them seems near collapse, and that the mightiest of them, Greet Britain, cannot honest- ly be _said to be even seriously wound- ed.` All of them, he s_a»ys,_believe_ piously and sincerely that they will beivictorious, and they are absolutely determined to secure victory by all possible means. _ Hen- Harden points out that Russia is “farther than ever from that ds- cline`which we, in our'l"n_adnees. so eagerly believed.” and says it is folly to suppose that any of the Entente Allies are ready to conclude a_ pence-

PARIS, Nov. 27.-The Saloniki cor-

respondent of the Havas ‘Agency sends the following under date of November 26:-- ‘

In consequence of the retreat of

the Serbians from Katchnik towards Monastir, orders were given to burn the bridges at Vozarci and Gradisce, after the last French patrols coming from Dobrista, Morien and Camen- dele had regained the right bank of the Cerna. Henceforth the Cerne will constitute an important strategicai posiion against. possible Bulgarian at- tacks.

"The Serbian army of Monastir, re-

inforced by contingents from Kat- chanik, attacked the Bulgars close to Prilcp. The results of the lighting,

which continued last evening, are un-

known. For the last 48 hours the English have been on the firing line, commencing at Dolran. Reinforce- ments of English troops are disem- barking unlnterruptedly.

_ ai the Front. '

On the western train from Summer-

side on Saturday evening there arriv-

sington, and J. Beaton, of Brookfield. who have experienced a campaign of strenuous. and at times immensely

That there was no public demonstra-

was no fault of the city's, for. thc brave lads with characteristic modesty ha’_d refrained from notifying the pre-

doing their best, as one of them said, to give them the slip." Gunners McLellan and Beaton, although Prince Edward Islanders, were not connected with any contingent from this’ pro vince, having both enlisted from British Columbia in the First British Columbia Regiment, Seventh Bat- talion, undcr Colonel McKaig, and being among the very first soldiers to leave Canada for Europe in defence of the Empire. Gunner McLellan's home is in Kensington, but he has for some time been employed in Nelson, B.C., while his comrade, Gunner Bea- ton, who belonged to Brookfield, join- cil the colours in Vancouver. They arrived iu Quebec on November 14 on the S.S. “Metaga.ma," proceeding to Halifax and thence to Charlottetown. In the next couple of days they will leave for their homes in the country and will spend a highly deserved rest with their families.

In an interesting interview with a

representative of the “Guardian” at the Revere Hotel yesterday Gunners McLellan and Beaton told of some of their enthralling experiences from the time they left Canada up to their re- turn. AThey spent in England, prepara- tory to entering the firing line, about three or four months, while their actual service extended well over half- a-year. After Salisbury their training was splendid and well calculated to fit them for the trying time which they subsequently passed through in France and Belgium. They met several Ig. landers at Shorncliffe, notably Capt. F. B. McRae, Chief Gun Instructor of the Machine Gun School at that place, and Capt. Martin. From Salisbury the battalion in which Gunners McLellan and Beaton were, proceeded to a place called Piougsteert. commonly called by the practical Tommy, “ Plugstreet," in Belgium. which was the first place in which they were engaged in more than sham fights. Next they went to Fleurbaux, where, to quote the words of Gunner McLellan, "there was just ordinary scrapping." Th_ey stayed in Flelirbaux for about a month' and were very favourably impressed with the town, which they say is a pretty little place, with flue folk. "lir»w`_ would you make known your vrnn.-.", the reporter asked them, “ in vi~ - --My their ignorance of Englisll?' fm- l was an easy matter. they cxliiw IJ.- “_We learned the names of thc "»=ns,~i rest. It was not much troublc iv-ttiug served; money helped them to under- stand a lol that mcre language' failed to express.”

"Canadian money." they slain, “is

not accepted in England; in France they took ours without discount." As regards the prices of things in France, they paid in places near the firing line more than double what they did in towns remote from the scene of fiction.

Leaving Fleurbaux the battalion ad-

vanced to the town of Estalrs. where

the men were biilcted. This town

we wanted. and our money did the G nuers McLellan and _Beaton de~ scliibe as very interesting and attrac- tive, with a genial, entertaining and good-natured population.

The men were in the trenches for a

period of from four to five days at a, time, and among Islanders noticed in actionby the subiects of this article were Mcqueens. McDonalds and Camp- bells. Peter Hughes, who had been a teacher, was quite a. favourite with the men of the Battalion, making himself thoroughly liked by his cheerful dil- position. `

ally over 1,000 strong being now in the` trenches, the rest being either wound- ed or killed. One man, Sergeant Peerless, an Englishman of noted con- nection, whose brother is a good friepd of Gunner McLellan, was awarded the' D.C.M. He was killed. Another man in the Battalion, Sergt. Weeks, was decorated with the Russian Order of St George. Both of these soldiers, Gunner McLellan said. were admirable men and splendid lighters and well deserved the honours conferred upon them.

Speaking in reference to the use

of shells, Gunner McLellan explained that the " Jack Johnson," a large and formidable bit of ammunition, is em- ployed only in the bombardment of towns, villages and heavy fortifica~ tions. In trench work shells weighing from 18 to 250' lbs are used by the Germans, and about the same size by the Allies. The system of signalling adopted by soldiers in the trenches is particularly interesting. A patrol goes as near as he can safely to a German trench. He has a string in his hand, one end of which is attached to the wrist of a fellow-soldier in his own trench. By means of a telegraphlc code he tells what he has ascertained. Occasionally, of course,_ he receives his quietus. but considering the hazard- ous nature of the duty. the casualty in this direction is not abnormal. Some- times a shell may burst a few feet behind u trench, both sides of which will cave in, burying these inside. Then there is some hard work. The building of wire entanglements is done at night, and there is a kind of unwrit- ten agreement between the opposing sides, whereby the men carry out this work unmolested for a while. The side that completes its job first is, of course. the winner, for his retirement into his trench is the signal for the other fellow to do the same, and if he is caught napping it is his own fault. Needless to say. the Canadian, as every other Britisher, is always wide- awake when it is not sleeping time.

“ The Germans," Gunners McLellan

and Beaton say, “ in slack moment sing some of our own songs intheir own characteristically barbarous style, or-casionslly attempting Rule Britan- nia. We close the al fresco concert with God Save the King and send 'hem five rapid rounds with our com- pliments." I

Most of the fighting takes place in

the early morning and late at night. At night rations are served for the fol- lowing day. Tho soldiers, they say, appreciate in a manner that words cannot express. thc receipt of any parcels from homo. the Islanders per- ticularly.

Gunner McLellan and his comrade

spent a very lively and interesting time in London. golng_ all over the sreat city. Gunner McLellan was also in Scotland for a short time and was greatly enamoured of the country.

They both say that every young

man who enlists has an egtrrlwhance with any other of returning gms, and the result of his noble eifo a ip dn experience which is invaluable, Apart from the indelible memories of,_,the war and the honour of a duty_,_p¢¢-_ formed, there is the knowledge to be acquired of some of the most beautiful and historic places on earth,

Gunners McLellan and Beaton-will

leave shortly for their homes.
