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.

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.

"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.
