The lite of the kaiser's soldiers in fhe flooded trenches, where they Stand knee deep in water, in hor- le in the extreme. Suitable focd lacking; there are practically no fuedical comforts for the men and disease has made its. appearance and is ravaging the ranks of those whom British shrapuu: has overioo - ed. The mental anl physical st1ain of these long vigils in which ou: is always looking dealh ir the face has affected the morals of the stolid, phegamatic Germans much more than it has of the allied troops. They have become grumpy and are developing what old soldiers call "mauseritis." They flinch when un- der fire and will not readily abandon the shelter of their trenches to at- tack in the open. 1. have been told that under the awful strain hundreds of German soldiers have gone made after days find nights without repose, and with cold, hunger, one's own dead as in- separable companions, and the pres- ence of British snipers three hund- red yards away to heighten the grim reality of this Belgian inferno. Some German prisoners whom I have seen wore only a remote re- semblance to human beings. Their beards had grown to an inordinate dength and the hair of even the comparatively young had hecome 'White. Tn one position near Ypres, Captured by the British, the German dead had been lying in the trench- es four days. The suffering of the German svounded is one of the most appalling features of.the present strugsle in Belgium. When mortally stricken they are often left to die cause ambulances and surgical aid are not --procurable. Every wounded German Who Is able to walk has to find his way unaided to the field or hase hospital.

Germans, Rushing on in Thonsands, Fell Into Neat Little Strategic Net, and Were Slaughtered Droves. Northern France.' Nov. §5--Fighi- ing against terrific odds, our army has frustrated the gigantic attempt of 700,000 Germans to break their gained a tremendous victory. So on Wednesday night a general advance of one of our positions to the nerth was' ordered. It was a three-days'- the/ storming of trenches and bayonet charges were hourly appearances. The greatest effect of the Germans was concen- trated on the British at Ypres. They had given up hope of defeating the allies on the coast, and to envelope them by a turning movement. They were indeed in danger of being them | selves enveloped. For three days | the battle proceeded with charges, and counter-charges by infantry and | artillery. The first impetus of the German onslaught was easily brought to a standstill by our men. Tremendous losses were incurred in this mad charge, bodies littered two and three deep over the first hundred yards of their advance. In places bodies rose like hedges and impeded the progress of the second and third German assaults, but num- bers must soon {ell, and. fresh bat- talions of the enemy," who always appeared behind their fallen friends. who had been wiped out by the hundred by our shot and shell ar- rived, through sheer momentum of the charge by such a huge mass in the neighborhood of our trenches. Our men were prepared for this. About 25 yards in front of our trenches deep pits had been dug some twenty feet deep and some twenty feet wide. These were cov- ered with branches and loose turf, just 'as at Bannockburn centuries ago Into, these the Germans fell in heaps, calling out 'pitably when foo late they discovered this strate- gem of our troops, who watched their destriiction with sangfroid and continued to bring down as many as possible before they reached the pit, in order that those should not be choked too quickly. But the Ger- mans, though they more than filled the pits came on in great numbers and sustained the charge with great vigor, The pits had now. become Germans struggled, cried and fought with one another, in vain hope of Many were accidentally transfixed by the barbarious jagged-edged bay- onets of those who had fallen be fere them, and others were shot by! their friends' rifles. On one occasion a shot fell into one of the pits on the right wing of the British and a hundred of tHe mass of humanity were blown out of existence For a considerable time clinging calmly to the trenches, they busied themselves in annihilating those unfortunate Germans who tried to step over the bodies in the pit, and when this became impos- sible they prepared for a fight, at close quarters with their bayonets. I am informed that for nearly 24 hours the struggle for our first line of trenches continued. The carnage was not one-sided. Indeed, this des- { perate encounter and the trenches were filled with the dead bodies of German and British. Superior num- bers, however, compelled our men to retire on thé second day, for the fighting had proceeded with unabat- ed vigor We had stil to retreat about five miles when the third day of battle dawned. A genreal advance was then called aud our regiments dash ed against the Germans in a final shock, Their charges were irres- istible dnd they swepi everything beé- fore them The Germans, however, had recke without the British support army, which came into action on Saturday, and army of fresh young men, like the London and Scottish, who were asked to join it at the eleventh hour, and an army that had not been fatigued in wet and muddy trenches. This army sprang to the attack and took the Germans by surprise. The sting of their onslaught drove the enemy speedily over the-ground they had gained on the previous day. On and on they charged, over fifteen, niiles of country. After three days' fizhting the British troops are now nearly ten miles in advance of their positions of last 'week and the sup-| reme effort of the Germans has con- goquently failed. ned APPEAL TO BELGIANS.

Back to Land Movement Near Bassano. The latest fish story that has been sprung on the public--a story which "'out-whops" some of the most fam- ous of the Whopper Club series that told by J. Jones, an inspector in the agricultural branch of the Canadian Pacific, whose activities r¢ confined to the Rosemary colony, aear Bassano There is nothing of the piking at titnde about the story but the fish The fish were pike. It appears that there has been started among the ich of the Bow River a "back to the land' movement, with the irrigated land preferred. Mr. Jones says that on the land, or on one particul- ar farm, in the Rosemary colony, the water was turned into the ditches one morning for two hours and then turned off. When it had all seep- ed away into the ground there were enough pike found to feed thirteen men for one meal. Since that time a number of fish have been obtained. In fact, there seems to be a serious sort of mania gmong these fish to get out of the Water at.the earliest possible moment. It appears that many of the irri- gation ditches are full of fish and in some places one of the favorite re- creations is to go out and "land" a flock of fish for breakfast. by Pike BEER KEG HITS MAYOR, Executive of Bangor Orders 173 Places Closed. Bangor, Me., Nov. 6--Because he was struck and almost felled by a keg of beer which was being rolled into. a ry on one of the main treets of the city, Mayor Utterback called upon the police to close up the 175 places where liquor being openly sold. "A pretty story this would have made for the newspapers, if I, May- or of one of the principal cities in| prohibition Maine had been disabled n such a manner," he told the chief. Shortly before the last election the police made numerous raids and closed things pretty tight, but not a jail sentence was imposed and things were soon wide open again. Now, the mayor says the lid will be clamped on tight. -------------------- GHENT IN DIRE STRAITS. Brogg 18 Germans Took Raw Materials Forc- ing Factories to Close.
