It appears that Sexsmith sold some yearlings to a cattle buyer in Na- panee last fall and were shipped to Toronto, and just about this time MacMath missed a yearling bull from his pasture, and upon inquiries be- ing made, it was found that there was bull in the shipment from here. MacMath traced the shipment and identified his beast and brought it home.

In delivering the Victoria Col- lege baccalaureate sermon in Con- vocation Hall yesterday Prof. Salem Bland of Winnipeg said that the po- litical. life of Canada is the most gordfd and the most destitute of moral ideas of all the English-speat - Ing lands on the face of the earth. Continuing, he said that "if Sir Rob- ert. Borden lends himself to the sin- ister influences which unfortunate- ly he has admitted into his Cabinet, and springs an election upon Cana- da during the war, stirring up tre passtons of 'the Canadian people, making a harvest of recrimination and dividing the men in the battle- field, then I say the reputation of Sir Robert Borden for patriotism and for statesmanship will suffer considerably. When charges are made of broken faith, abuse of pat- the] caped, nearly all vblood, the chlorine attacking the mucous membrane, The dead were all turned black at once. The effect of this poisonous gas was felt over about tix kilometres of ground in length by kilometres deep. Further than j tnt the gas was too much diluted with the air to kill, but suffocated | many. About fifteen minutes after letting the gas escape, the Germans got out of their trenches. Some of them were sent on in advance with masks over their heads to ascertain if the air had become breathable. Having discovered they could advance, they arrived in large numbers on the area on which the gas had spread itse\ somé minutes before, and took pos- session of the arms of the dead men. They made no prisoners. Whenever | they saw a soldier whom the fumes had not quite killed, they snapped away his rifle and threw it in the Yser and advised him ironically to lie down ""io die better." It is pos- sible that" the use of chlorine gas may one day furn against the Ger- mans themselves. Should the wind veer suddenly they would be the first victims of their murderous _at- tempt. BRIG.-GEN. BURSTALL IN THICK OF FIGHT With Gen. Alderson He Saw That the Artillery Fought London, April 28.--In the great bat- tle at Yser, General Alderson and his stafi, especially Brigadier-General H. E. Burstall, seem to have done super- human feats. They rode along the whole Canadian line and not only cheered the companies, but handled the division so that there never was any real chaos. There was not a cog in the whole machine out of place. The ammunition columns did heroic work, bringing up ammunition through the deadly gas shells that were bursting behind the trenches. The artillery never fought so well belore--and 'they have been mentioned in special messages from headquarters several times, One wounded artil ery oflicer says that the guns had the ex- act range of the first charge of Ger- mans, and though they could not at first see the effect of the fire because of the yellow cloud of gas which was drifting across the front, in about half an hour they had the satisfac- tion of knowing that every shell was finding the densely massed bodies of advancing infantry. health became impaired and he was | obliged for the past sixteen years of} his life to retire: During the last | two years he was almost an invalid | The deceased is survived by two! brothers and two sisters: Canfield!
