Pte. Thomas Connolly, the sixteen- | {year-old son of Band Sergt. Connolly | of the R. C. H. A., has written ani ise Knight, Effie Lefebvre, _| ris, John Murray, Mildred McAlonan, | teresting letter to his parents. Connolly left Kingston with the de- tachment of the 14th Regiment un- {der Capt. G."T. Richardson, but ow-| ing to illness was sent from Salis- : Plai 3 . bury Plain to Shorncliffe and did Hoe | son, Lorna Sproule, Alma Stafford, reach the front until writes in part as follows: "We are here in the trenches and it Is not all sugar especially when the Germans take it into their heads April. | to shell us and then we have to get { behind the parapets or in the dug- outs. It is 'duck your head' until it isover. Yesterday quite a few dropped our way--coal boxes, Jack Johnsons, shrapnel, hig explosives and Whistling Willies--so that w, had quite a'variety. . The only thin | that I don't like about them is that | You may be wanting to do something, cook your 'meals or something like | that, but it is impossible to do it. "They are paying us $6 a month in hand for us. 'Several of the boys were hit but if | nothing serious has happened. I was hit three timés with spent bits lf! of shrapnel, but that is a common thing. They do not do any damage; It is all a at it this way, are going to; so that is all there is This war cannot last much On the 24th of May while That was all the "Canada needs to wake up over this war as they need every man | they can get out here." Pte. E. OC. McDermott Writes. Another very interesting letter has been received from Pte. E. C.| McDermott, by his father, James Me- Dermott, 289 Johnson street. The letter reads in part as follows: "The *eather here is extremely hot in the day and cool at nights, Frank Is looking fine, have met him every morning lately. "Well the war is going along as per schedule. We are steadily gaining ground but just as steadily losing men. The nursing here is very trying as the sights of some of the wounded try the nerves of a strong man at times. We are mov- ing to-night or to-morrow." < On June 2nd he writes: "The boys are all out of the trenches again for a rest. We moved to a pretty little town of about 10,000 population called Lillers. Frank is at a place called Busnes. We are having the very best of weather, although a trifie too warm if anything. Things look very fa- vorable for the close of the war this year. The Germans are certainly putting up a grand fight when you consider the nations against them, but they are slowly but surely being driven back, and I think that they will accept peace at our terms before they will allow their country to suf- fer as France and Belgium has. Of course a steady supply of fresh troops will have to be sent here to keep 8lling up the gaps." t Ee -------- PRISONER OF WAR. Corporal Holtham is Being Held at Giessen, Germany. Mrs. Holtham has received a let- ter from her husband, Corporal Ww. Holtham, a 'member of the 14th Regiment, who is a prisoner at Giesse| ermany. He says that he Is all rifht, and anxiously waiting for letters from home. He asks that he be sent eatahles every week, also books and tobacco. All the prison- ers are inoculated every five woeks against disease. The barracks they are confined in are very clean and the Germans are kind to them. "We are split into two companies," adds the Kingstonian, "You can write as often as you like. but I can only write two letters 'and cards a month. 1 received no letters or par- cels you gent to France since March, 80 I guess somebody else got them, but I do not mind that, as they de. serve all they can get. "Do not worry about me, as I am safe, but would like you to send me something I can eat eve week until peace is proclaimed. Now "that I cannot fight, I hope that will not be very long.

MacGregor was pay clerk in the of- | fice-of the First Contingent, C.E.F.| thous- paid to the soldiers. He made a successful get-a-away to New York,| crossed to Brockville, where he was seen on New Year's day and then | returned across the border. De- tectives were on his trail, and locat- | ing him in Rochester put him under arrest. He will likely be deported | to England direct, and may then bel brought to Canada, but it is unlike-| ly that the application from the lo-| cal authorities will be granted. | | Arrested For Deserting Pte. Greaves, who enlisted at| Guelph for overseas service and] came to Kingston, where he joined | the 21st Battalion, has been arrest-| ed at Rochester, N.Y., for being a deserter, and will be deported" For some time the authorities were watching a girl in the: eity who knew his address and who it was thought gave him the money for his | fare across the border. .This sus- picion was strengthened when she refused to give his address, but she always. has. stoutly . denied.. having advanced the money- for his fare. He was arrested on Saturday In Roch- ester and is expected to arrive in the city in a few days. He will likely be tried by the military auth- orities for desertion.

Ottawa, June 15.--"I have ho oriti- cism to make of the action of the conférence," said Major-General Sam. Huges this morning regarding a resolution passed by the Toronto Methodist Conference condemning 'the sending of tobacco fo the men at the front. "I have never smoked myself, and never feel the need of tobacco. It is a free country, and the conference | is at liberty to move whatever resolu. tions it pleases, but I am afraid this resolution will have the same fate as most other resolutions. The boys will keep on smoking just the same, for which, of course ,I am sorry," added the General as an after. thought. The Cheese Markets.
