grant a general pardon to all railway employes who were punished because of the part they took in thc strike of May, 1014. This action is said to be designed as another step to bring about n closer union of all parties in the country.

Reports rccolvcd from evcry nni-

versity in Italy are to the effect that the students of each will volunteer in a body for the war.

Despatches from Vcrona say that

the Italians whose homes are in Aus- tria. and Italy, are pouring across the frontier by thousands every day, be- cause they arc fearful of reprisals in the event ol’ hostilities.

The authorities at Genoa have been

ordered to keop a close watch on the German stcamers interned at that port, as it is believed their captains may attempt to escape after a decla- ration of war, or to blow up the ves-

sels.

WAR TAX ON RAILWAY TICKETS T0 BE REFUNDED.

OTTAWA, May 21.--The Minister

of Finance states that war taxes paid upon railway sleeper, parlour car and steamship tickets may be refunded to the purchaser of any such ticket li' thc ticket is for any reason not used and if the selling company refunds to the purchaser the price of the ticket. The refund of the war tax will be made at the same time as the refund of the price of the ticket.

Although the special war revenue

act does not provide for such refund, the Minister of_ Finance regards it as just and equitable that it _should be allowed, and on his recommendation the Government has given the neces- sary authorisation under the provi- sions of the consolidated revenue and audit act. .

I was ordered to a headquarters near Yprcs, we were then under shell fire had, and while this was taking place aeroplanes were above and some duels took place between tho enemy and French planes. At 8 p. m. the French started to re- tire on account of the gases from the German lines. This asphyxiatlng gas is pumped from the German trenches and ls carried forward by the wind and will stop any troops from ad- vancing once it strikes them, and as luck would have it the wind was en- tirely ln their favor the four days of the heaviest fighting (well I must hurry) . At 1 a. m., 25th we were or- dered to reinforce the French on the left of the British-Canadians line, that ‘is about 1% miles north of Ypres. The canal -(Ysar) runs parallel with

6 in the morning our Brigade started to advance, I was on duty all night operating, so happened to be clear this particular morning, so was Harry Whitlock, Geo. Garden Stewart Mc- Leod and self got on at high ridge with our observation offl- cers and saw the whole advance. From the bridge to the Germans, who were dug in on a high ridge, was a istance of a mile of nothing but a glassy slope, our boys started the ad- vance wliile the field was ablaze with hrapnel and Jack Johnson shells

ate side by side. We would se_e them rise for a rush when a. shell would drop right in t‘he centre of the bunch, and, (“oli! its was horror, thewound- cd streamed in theillressing Btation.”) mist, from smoke of shells exploiting. but on they went,'and captured the hill, in this charge we lost Colonel Birchall and Capt. Glover Adj., and many other officers and men. Late in the afternoon we were reinforced by the English regiments and artil- lery. The day was bitterly cold a_i_id windy, s. strong north wind was blowing, making it harder for 0\1l‘ men to advance. In the meantime shrapnel was bursting all around us. so we had to take cover- for one 0|’ two occasions. From noon' till lata at night we slgnallers volunteering. carried wounded from the field to dressing stations we had only one man hit in our section Le’LaC*h\lI'€, from St. John. Back at the dressing station the place was crowded with wounded. some poor chaps had died since they were carried hi from the ilcld. The ambulances could not get the wounded nW11.V illllllk Cllflllllll. f0l' as quick as they were cleared, they would pilc up again.

Well that night we slept a sort of

troubled sleep, while shells were dropping all round ns. Saturday we were ordered to reinforce the 2nd and 3rd Canadian Brigades wc passed through Ypres. which was on fire. They are continually shelling that place of beauty, and the poor inhabit- ants are leaving, some barefooted. some crippled. little children, etc. all to seek shelter clscwhero. Wo rein- forced our Brigades near St. Julian. and that night wc slept in n farm. and at two o’clock we were on the march again. That day we worked hard, while our men joined in the ab-_ tack. I must quote onc little experi- ence where We had one narrow cc- 'cape. Wswere as usual helping the poor stretcher bearers carry the wounded off the field. we were in 8 farm where the telegraph ofllce was_ also our staff. Away out on the field could be seen two men tugging at it stretcher, to get it to Safety. WOU G. Gardner ami three St. John boys and myself volunteered to carry him in. So away we started for ilhe field. We got our man and we were passing a hedge when we heard tl shell.coming at us. we dropped the man and got fiat on our faces, when the shell exploded nine feet from us, we were covered with mud, stones and pieces of shell but not a man hurt We were awful lucky. We put 0\H‘ wounded man on our shoulders again and got to the station although shells were dropping all around but none_ closer than 100 yards.

At nine that night we were or-

dered back to our starting point, land- ing at two a. m. We slept in the field, although raining, until a couple of heavy shells burst quite near us and covered us with mud againf. ‘Then We

GERMAN LOSSES

LONDON, May 20.-According to

information 'ln the possession of the London»Chroniclc, the German losses since thdbeginning of the war, to March 23 total 1,800,000 men. The Chronicle says:

"We have received what purports

to be an authoritative statement of casualties in the German ranks from the beginning of the war until March _ 23. The number of lists of dead and wounded and missing until that date was 180.

“Between March 23 ami May 15

forty-live further lists have been pub- lished, making a total of 224 state- ments in our possession, containing the grand total of casualties. The first 180 listscover the period of fighting from August 2 until February 14, and the remainli forty-five lists deal

“We have not any classified state-‘
