Dawson, in command at TELLS OF GREAT FIGHT IN WHICH BRITISH TOOK HILL | 60 NEAR YPRES, | Pte. Edward McDermott Was In The Midst of It--His Letter Is Dated | The 21st of April. Pte. Edward C. McDermott, son of James McDerufott, Johnson street, who is with the Canadian Motor Transport, was in the big fight when the British took Hill No. 60 from the Germans, on April 20th and he was also close to where the Germans made their big drive a couple of days later. His letter is dated April 21st, and is the first to reach here telling of the commencement of the terrible fighting around Ypres. Pte. McDermqtt states that his trans- port was closest to the firing line of any of the British force. He says: "They decided to attack the Ger- man position. All that night and part of next day it was a regular hell let loose: The British had mined | a hill on which the Germans were] strongly "entrenched and which the | British had lost many lives trying to} take. They fired the mines and that wag the signal to start. At 7.10 p.| m. they opened up and I do not ever| expect to see any thing more thril-| ling if I live a hundred years. We, took the hill, lost it and recaptured it and about two miles beyond it.| The French on our left attacked at] the same time and had about as gooa | success as we did. The Germans) have been trying hard to retake this) position but without success. | "We have practically nothing to do. Our work lasts but half an| hour a day as the railroad is only a| couple of miles from the firing line. Even as I write a 'Jack Johnson'| passes over our head, or to right or left,sbut so far the Motor Transport | seems to have a charmed life. Igo} on guard to-night and I will have an opportunity of watching the excite-| ment all night as I will be up the biggest part of it. | "Ypres is pretty well demolished. | The people, brave to the last, stick] Lthere, selling little souvenirs, lace, . etc, to the soldiers. Our boys were | | In the thick of it, but as yet I do not know the number of casualties, al-| though 1 hear our battalion lost 180 | "Well the British séem to have of the air.| Dozens of our planes are over their | trenches all the time while the on'y| | two German planes I have seen in| a week were brought down by the] British guns in quick time. | "We are going to win 4nd a lot| | soomer than most people think, but | it will take considerable lives to do| it. The Britith took a large bunch | of prisoners the last few days. There | is to be another attack to-night. There is a continual stream of star] hells, thrown up at night that turn | night into day." | | Should be Arranged to and From | Camp. The Board of Trade, in the in- | terests of the business men of the city, should cdusider a proposition for the establishment of a iitney ser-| vice to and from Barriefield camp | A JITNEY SERVICE. | grounds, where by the middie of the month a great company of soldiers The ser- vice couid be either by auto busses or | automobiles and with a charge of five cents each way a good business would result. The soldiers would patréhize the service and it would be a great help «0 many citizens and vis- | itors. There is no doubt but that it would be a paying proposition for some enterprising person. | To Give Up Their Picnic. i The members of St. George's Ca- | thedral Sunday School by unanimous | vote 'decided to give up their annual | Sunday School treat and picnic, and | devoté the money towards books for the oversea troops help-for the Belgian children: There | was not a dissenting voice when the| vote was taken. Such spirit shows that even the little folk are feeling the call of self-sacrifice. It is one| to be commended in the present] crisis. | Woman Not Taken Into Custody. | There has been a persistent report for being in communication with the German prisoners at Fort Henry. the Fort, when asked by the Whig, stated that no arrest was made. It is understood that a woman was ad- vised to keep away from the prison- ers. oe Let Passes Issued.
