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-

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.) _

last night fully measured up to expec-

notwithstanding tilat the weather was
anything but agreeable. The pro-
gramme began. as all Scottish con-
certs invariably do, promptly oil time,

‘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.

the hearty support and sympathy of
every citizen ill our beautiful and pro-

l find that the object of this assoc-

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,

would not have accomplished what
we did except. for the lndefatigable
work of our worthy and venerable
secretary.
Three lectures were delivered dur-
ing the year under the auspices of
our Board. One was by Rev. P. (`.
Gauthier on the benefits of sccd-fairs
to our Province, one by Mr. Clark of
the Experimental Farm on gardening,
lawn dressing and tree planting, and
one by Mr. Elliot oil the Navy De-
fence League, ali of which were in-
structive. We also had a very satis-
factory conference with Mr. Hayes,
the general traffic manager of the 1.

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

found that each time the company's

the rates were to remain as before. I
took the matter up with the Premier

the Government officials- they failed
to find the agreement between the
