Solina Centre Edgar Swartz Miss Greta M. VanNest a low voice answers, "Hello ! " Stand To ! The sentry returns to his original original position, standing as before, still and seeming, in the uncertain light, to turn into part of the barrier before him. A crack, sharp and startling, breaks the stillness, and a whistling "peee-w-w-w" goes over-head, but the figure never stirs. It's just a messenger messenger of death gone by, and many thousands thousands have passed the same way before. before. Tell him it was such, he will laugh, not a happy laugh, but mirthless, mirthless, conveying thoughts of contempt Another figure emerges from the sackcloth sackcloth covered hole, then another, as . do from many like places, in the rear passed, i of the still' figure at the parapet. Then 1 comes movement, men placing harness-like harness-like straps, that jingle as they swing, over shoulders. • The light grows, and things emerge in the stronger light and form into trees, shrubs, and broken walls. Another day dawns on fair France --at war. Suddenly there is a dull "boom-m-m" and a noise like a sighing breeze, it passes, there is a roar, like to a clap of thunder close to earth. "That's a fifteen fifteen incher, "I'll bet," a hoarse voice says, "and it's right in the trench." Men move to the parapet and look over--what is seen ? A waste of ground broken in places with holes like small craters,and just ahead a column of dust is just settling above the barrier opposite, opposite, There is another sound like the last, but from the opposite direction direction this time, and the men crouch, like wild -animals about to spring, pressing themselves against the para- petthey have just tiec n looking over. There is a shriek overhead and a roar, thb earth shaking as if in terror of that striking it. A shower of earth falls around, thudding, perhaps, against the crouching bodies. "All right" says a voice, and the men resume the upright again. ' 'That was cl ose, hey?" says one, but none answer the query, and no answer is expected. mSirch, the bride entered the drawing room leaning on her father's arm and wearing a beautiful gown of cream charmeuse satin with shadow lace and pearl trimmings. The bridal veil was caught with a trail of orange blossoms and she carried a shower of Killarney roses and lily qf the valley. Miss Georgie Langmaid, cousin of the bride, attended as bridesmaid, attired in silk crepe de chene with frills of pale yellow yellow ninon and carried an armful of yellow roses. • The groom was supported supported by his brother, Mr. Melville Soules, Oshawa. Misses Ethel and Dorothy Brooks, sisters of the bride, were pretty flower girls carrying baskets baskets of sweet peas and white satin streamers forming an aisle leading to the arch of smilax and white roses against a bank of palms. Little Miss Aura Brooks carried the ring in a tiny basket of white • roses. Miss Alma Courtice sang "Beloved, it is Morn" during the signing of the register. The groom's gift to the bride was a drop of pearls and peridots, to the bridesmaid he gave a pearl necklace, to the best man a carbuncle ring, and to each of the other attendants a pearl pin. Mrs. Brooks, mother of the bride, was clad in a handsome gown of grey brocaded silk crepe de chene with pale pink ninon, and the groom's mother, Mrs. Soules in a becoming gown of black and white striped silk. Mr. J. Welch, Oshawa, cati r. d to about 100 guests in splendid fashion. Mr. and Mrs. Soules left on evening train for Toronto and later for a boat trip to Western points, the bride travelling in a green silk suit with pink hat and a corsage bouquet of pink sweet peas. The high esteem in which the young couple are held was realized by the many and costly gifts received, among them being "a number of handsome checks from the parents of bride and groom and others.

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Limited, Limited, is treating its Toronto office staff and local factory employees to their annual outing--on Saturday, July 24th at Cobourg on-the-lake. Two special trains via C. P. R. will leave Bowmanville at 8.15 a. m. and 9 a.m., and returning will leave Cobourg Cobourg 9 p. m. Return fare 85c. A big program of sports has been arranged in which every employee may take part, something for the young and old, fat and thin. There will be something doing all the time fromip.3oa. m. to 9. p. m. The Goodyear Brass. Band under the direction of the veteran Bandmaster D. Morrison will furnish an abundance of music thru- out the day. Mason & Dale have been appointed agents for the famous Clay metal gates. Again that "boom" in the rear, and again and again. • "What's up?" says one to another. "Attack !" is all the answer he gets, but he knows. The noise now grows continuous, crashing reports sounding in every direction. The day goes on, the roar of guns growing fiercer as the day passes. Now it is afternoon and the noise is deafening, thunder claps sounding almost almost continuously, and earth and pieces of metal, hot to the touch, fall in every direction. A groan is heard suddenly to our left. "That's Dick got it" says a voice, then from mouth to mouth a message goes "Stretcher bearers at the double 1" Three figures are soon seen, with a white band aroünd one arm, bearing the letters S.B. in red--the angels of the trenches. The guns may roar, death may be on every hand, but calmly and tenderly these men tend the broken bodies of the khaki clad men as tho they were at home in peace. The still form is placed on a stretcher carried by those who answer the call, the carriers step- ing carefully to avoid any jar to him being carried. He has gone and the men turn to one another, speaking in as subdued a voice as the noise allows. "That's"four" says one, but our turn to pay back soon" and a glitter is in his eye that is strange. The light is fading again, and the noise of bursting shells is almost unbearable. Men shout to one another, then step to where their rifles stand, and there is a flash of bright steel. You understand now, the order was "fix bayonets !" In the semi light the faces look drawn and almost tired, but the eyes now have a wide open expression watching for ;hat which hides behind the barrier in ;he distance. There is another order lasses along, and the men stand to the jarapet and commence to fire. From a series of shots, the noise of the rifles I jrows into a continuous cackle, and ;he hiss of answering bullets is in the air. There is a sob very close to you, and the next man claps his hand to his forehead and leans forward, then falls to his knees and there stays. His life blood flows in a constant steam staining staining the yellow earth around him The man next to him stops firing and, placing placing his hand to the right bottom corner corner of the tunic of the stricken one, takes out a small package, which he tears open, taking out a bandage with which he binds the wound. That being being done, he makes_-him comfortable by resting his back against the parapet, parapet, leaving him in a sitting position. Nobody else seems to notice what is done, they are too busy pouring death out into the space ahead of them. A head turns and shouts something to his neighbor who repeats to the next, and quiet falls again--almost. That is. the roar of the gtras is still .heard, but the spiteful sharp reports of rifles is missing. Now the men stand tense, like dogs at the leash, waiting for--what ? Soon it comes, the shrill sound of a whistle, ggs; and as one man all climb over that which has protected them from the deadly, shot. Some leap down the other side and commence to run, one or two sink and lie in positions that are not comfortable--a leg twisted underneath underneath the body, an arm doubled backward, ways that are too various to mention. The rest go in a yelling, screaming mob, guns held across the body, with bayonets flashing as they run. They reach the barrier and breaking unto it, stab at the faces and bodies before them, cursing and swearing swearing like wild things, the clash of steel against steel broken by the thud of bodies meeting and falling. The strife becomes less and less, till a few are seen to throw up their hands above their heads. It is victory for the attackers, .and what does one see? Panting, blood-stained men,- leaning where support can be found, because they hardly have strength to stand, with groans and groans, ringing from every side. They have fought and gained what?--a few yards of earth not fit to live in--or die. "What's that?" says one. "Retire !"-answers another, down whose face streams red blood, making him look hideous in the fading light. Men curse again, but turn to return to the place they came from, but not as they \\ ent, a yelling mass of death dealers, but with weary flagging steps. Men fall now and again, butihey are helped to their feet again by those near them, and so stumble along to their original position--Lo position--Lo rest? No 1 "Five rounds rapid" comes the order from one to the other. Again that rattle of reports reports that sounds so light 'gainst the roar of artillery which has started again. The rifle fire dies away to a few shots now and again and men rest as best they can binding their wounds, or those of their comrades. "Who's that ?" says a voice suddenly, and men listen. How quiet all seems ! Suddenly, Suddenly, across the space between, comes the cry of a soul in agony. It is a low moan, long and drawn but, that tells of suffering. "Who's that ?" repeats one, and he looks over the open space ahead dotted with still figures. The answer to. his question comes sharp and sudden. A report, like the crack of a ranchman's whip, and he falls back without a sound, eyes glazed, and mouth open. "Sniped" says one, in a low voice, and a blue spot in the center of the forehead, like a pencil mark, proves his words. A red pool slowly forms below the prostrate form's head. Good God ! how long shall these things continue? Dan D., France, June 25, 1915. . JPte.

On account of Goodyear employees being being unable to do their usual shopping on Saturday on account of the picnic at Cobourg, Cobourg, Bowmanville merchants have consented to keep their stores open Friday Friday July 23 to 9.30 p.m. Almost every day we hear or read in the papers of records being established whicn were thought impossible. A number number ot citizens in Bowmanville will be pleased to know that they assisted in making a record for the sale of made-to- order suits at The Anderson Clothing Co., store Friday and Saturday last week. In 24 hours Mr. Anderson and his assistants assistants measured 24 men for suits--which being an off season is "going some." The reasfin for this exceptional rush of business in suits is accounted for in the wholesale city tailors are not busv during July and August. One of the largest tailoring firms in Canada sent Mr. Anderson Anderson 100 suit lengths in Worsted and Scotch Tweeds in the latest patterns, some suitable for Fall and Winter with this explanation, explanation, "We have shipped you today 100 suit lengths which regularly sell at $25 per suit but we are sacrificing our profits in order to keep our tailors busy by selling these suits at $15 each. At this price you will readily see neither of us will make anything on these suits, but it will be another another case of you passing on a "good thing" in men's suits to your many customers customers in and around Bowmanville. The style, fit and workmanship on these suits will be guaranteed first class." The above explains itself, so if you are needing a good suit this is your opportunity. opportunity. $15 never bought such suits before. As soon as this cloth is sold out we will be unable to duplicate these values. Come early to The Anderson Clothing Co., pick out the cloth you like best and have your measure taken. Your suit will be here in a week. si J T MvJ Guards, sections, and blades for binders now on sale at Mason & Dale's. ,^>S n ^ .1 5- -, ... J.U'.- T" • 1 . r -'.S-3B8
