Private Marchingtor +f the Third Battalion Sends Hine a Vivid Story. of How F¥Fifty Men Were Sent to Reinforce Front Trenches --eHe Lay Wounded All Day In the Cold Until Ambulance Came. What Colonel Rennle told official. ly in his recent graphic report of the opérations of the Canadians of the 8rd (Toronto) Battalion at Lange- marck is put in the realistic words of the soldier himself in a letter re- ceived from Fte, Arthur Marching- ton. . Pte, Marchiagton of 'C"" Com- pany was one of the platoon of fifty men sent forward to reinforce the front trenches held during the mem- orable engagement by the Intrepid Major i Kirkpatnick and his gallant foree. Of the 50 men only 11 reach- ed the trenches in safety, so severe was the rain of shrapnel and rifle fire. Pte. Marchington, who was wounded, writes from the Englefield Hospital, near Reading, Berkshire, where he is recuperating, ih It was at six o'clock on the eyen- ing of April 22, he states, when his company was billeted near Ypres, that following a violent bombard- ment by the Germans, the order esme to "stand to." "We marched to a place 1,000 yards behind our front line trenches and 'dug In,'" writes Pte, March- ington. 'The shells were now fall- ing about ue; and killed and wound- ad quite a few. We dug all night with our little entrenching tools, sod by sun-up were tably established and awaiting ofders, soon came. We were told to relaforse our trelehes ahead. "We ran forward in skirmishing order in dashes of 25 yard® It was broad daylight, ahd as soon as the Germans saw us they opened a miur- dercus volley from rifles and ma- chine guns, and not a :.w of us had bit the dust befofe we had travers- ed 100 yards. Buch a feeling came over me as I saw the boys go down. Some dropped without a sound; others cried out. But we jogged on ~for truly it was nothing but a Jog, owing to the fact that we were carrying 300 rounds of extfa am- munition and all our kit. "It resembled very much being around 'a hive of bees: ran forward in platoons ad had a little. rest each time as the others came up. Each time we made a dash about five men would drop, so eventually when we reached our where luckily there was a hedge which afforded us a little éov- er, there were only eleven left of our platoon, which numbered 50 when wé started.

Bucknam Pasha, the Canadian boy, who was formerly rear-admiral in the Turkish navy, diéd on May 27 after several weeks of illness, He left a widow, who is mow in the Turkish capital. Ransford D. Bucknam rose from the position "of cabin boy on the Great Lakes to that of admiral, nav- al adviser, and personal aide de camp to the Sultan, After Moham- med V. bad asceided the throne of Turkey, howevér, he resigned his offices because the Sultan ordered Bim to s&asume Turkish citizen ship. He entered the commercial field at once, and before. the Euro- péan war started it was predicted that he would -become the "Oil King" of Turkey, Bueknam Pasha had an interest-. ing early career, but he did not be- | glo to figure on the International! borizon Gatll 190%, when in behalf of the Cramps Shipbuilding Com- pany at Philadelphia, he acted as trial captain of the Hamidieh and commanded it on the trip to Turkey. After his arrival at the Golden Horn the Sultan offered Bucknam a big salary to take a place in the Turkish navy, and he accepted. From 1904 to 1911 Bucknam completely reor- ganized the Turkish navy. Bucknam trained Captain Raouf Bey, the greatest Turkish naval com- mahder of modern times, who com- manded the Hamidieh, which during the Balkan war sank six Greek ships, among them _the " 10,000-ton Iier Macedonia and two ships load- ed with Serbian solaiers, besides do- ing great damage to island and coast fortifications of the Balkan allies. At the end of the Balkan war, Raouf réfused to consider hostilities at a closé and continued to caplure Greek ships. His activities nearly resulted In the re-'opéning of the war, and the Turkish Government finally sent to Londou for Bucknam In order to get him to call off 'Raout. Bucknam distinguished himself at the time that a bomb Intended for the Sultan was exploded near Yildiz 'Kiogk. AS the Bultan was leavihg thé mosque there was a terrible ex- plosion and nearly a score of those surrounding the Sultan were killed of wounded. Buctknam drew his sword, rushed to the side of the Sultan and walked with sword drawn beside the carriage back to Yildix. He bécame a unique personage In the Ottoman ndvy hy reason of his ability and scrupniovs hohesty, He- fore his' time it was the systém for Européin shipbuilders to gét as much ag possible for ships as nearly worthless as the Sultan's officers dwotld: adept. The Sultan paid in one instance $1,650,000 for an fron tub which was sald t6 be worth not more than $300,000. $1,200,000 of the purchase money went to the Sultan's officers, who pald $450,000 for the ship, or $150,000 more than 'it wis worth. Blucknam was nearly beaten to death at Kiel, Germany. when he made a trip there in order to find out why the Sultan's' officers réquif- ed so much time and money to have a ired, He found that Rothiug bas h doe to the vessel, dollars Had been sent from Constan- - tinople to put it in condition, Buck- n contracted to have it made Flan and tight for $20,000 and whilé hé was waiting at Kiel he was attacked and nearly Killéd by stad wounds. A few weeks later, how- ever, he was on the Way back' to Constantinople with the ship. After leaving the Turkish navy, Bueknam acquired rights. In three important oll centres In European and Asiatic Turkey. His opportun- ity was a wonderful ome, because Turkey had in the past imported although several hundred thousand, nnually 400,000,000 3 Ro! and m Rugsia, u | United cas ams Anglo. ier! syn 0 enoug! oil Jand to supply the entire aeq of Turkey and to export quantities. He obtained 50,000 acres of oil land on a shore of the Séa of Marmora, 100,000 acres on the shore of Yan, in Eastern Asia » and 13 000 es south of , the Nova Scotia, in 1869. . wr s Soran Hewiu, annie tomolog or 4 work of the Branch for 1915, a in regard to insects affecting fo) and shade trees: « "In view of the wi sr 3 mart ha EES beetles in Britis serious losses t Javediifations wi e regio during the PARR. two easons.

After careful study of the situation it 'was found that freights and insurance in transit were prohi. bitive, or nearly so, at present, but that when abnormal ocean-carrying conditions are removed, a promising market in France will 'open for Canadian cattle, When the question was brought up in France, and especially in Nor- mandy, Canada was looked to at once as the most likely country from which imports could be made. Al- ready on two occasions, similar transactions have heéen carried out. About twenty years ago two cattle feeders had come to an understand- ing to bring cattle from Canada; their scheme gave them the profit upon which they had counted. In 1912, the importation carried out by Canadian dealers without sufficient care to make sure of a mgrket, was a failure financially, but the ani- mals brought over had been declared of excellent quality. In 19012 animald weighing 1,000 pounds 'were purchased at $56 each in Toronto, and at this rate the trade was & paying affair. But in Janu- ary, 1815, 280 each had to be paid for the same class in Toronto, and expenises of feeding and care en route brought the price to $90. As to freight and insurance, the carry- ing of horses just now may be taken as an example. For transportation 10 Europe the Federal Government had. to pay $65 per horse. While the proposal to. import Canadian cattle to France does not promise anything at present, therefore, the end of theo war will see a change for the better. The cattle crisis will last a long time and may perbaps be more acute than to-day, and it will occur in all Eurcpeall countries, Perhaps re- sources will then be found "in Can- ada. It would, be sufficiend for the price on animals in that country to return to the level of 1912, and for freight rates to resume nermal con- ditions, to make it profitaple to in- tioduce cattle from Canada ® fill the pastures. It is to this great end amd not Rerely to local market conditions that the Canadian breeder and rancher must look, The way is al- ready being paved, and it rests upon the enterprising apadian to grasp the opportunity. e ince of Alberta, with eyes on the great con- suming markets, {s bullding "» her industry with steadfast faith. here are large areas In 'Ontario suitable for ranching that are not being util. ized, and Ontario is 1,500 miles nearer Europe than Alberta and six thousand miles nearer Europe than the Argentine.

New York, July 5.--dt is being freely predicted that the earnings of the United States Steel Corvoration for the quarter cnded last Wedn-e- day will run as high as $27,000,000, while more conservative persons are estimating $25,000,000. If the pre- sent tendency in the trade is main- tained, it is expected that the next quartér earnings will be approxima- tely $36,000,000, which would be equal to 3 per cent, on the common THE STANDARD B Established over Forty. , ASSETS OVER $48,000,000 e = The A, B, of Banking Absolute Security Best of Service Courteous Treatment m We solicit your account in our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT } stock, or 12 per cent. per annum. The United States Steel Corpora- tion is now operating at above 85 per cent. of full capacity in many de- partments, and is turning out more of some produets than. ever before. The 1915 production of the gorpora- tion is expected to pass 15,000,000 tons of steel, which is nearly 1,000,- 000 less than the record, Jitney Competition. New Orleans, July 6.--One of the effects of jitney competition is seen in the passing of the 6 per cent, divi- dend on the $20,553,500 preferred stock of thé American Citles Co., Which is the holding company operat- ing the New Orleans Railway and Light Co. This dividend ommission has been directly necessitated by jit- ney competition. Passed Common Pividend. New York, July 5.--The U.S. Rubber Corporation passed the divi- dend on the common ghares, and de- clared the regular quarterly dividend on the first and second preferred shares, , Commercial Notes. American investors were manifest- ing quite an interest in Britain's war loan. The American Locomotive Co; has divided one-half qf its $ 8,000,000 order between the New York Air Brake Co., and the Westinghouse Air Brake Co. The Middletown Car Co.,.of Mid- dletown, Pa., received an order for 5,000 freight cars. All ~ thé cars will be sent to Europe. An' order for 600 standard forty- ton freight cars for the Intercolonial Rallwiay has been received by the Canadian Car & Foundry Company from the Canadian Government. The order is 'worth $750,000. The British Government has plac- ed with the Colt Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Ce., an order for ma- chine guns to cost $10,000,000, on which the company will be busy for two years. Another issue of New York City bonds, $71,000,000 in all, bearing interest at the rate of 4 1-2 per cent. has been placed on sale. B, H. Porteous, of the brokerage firm of Burnett, Porteous and Co., was elected a member of the Mont- real Stock Exchange. Rumored that dividend on U. S. Rubber' common might net only be reduced but passed altogether, so as to give company opportunity to ae- cumulate large supply of working capital needed in connection with de- velopment of great activity in the businéss. There are. about $64,500,000 of American securities maturin in July, and a total of $329,819,000 maturing between July 1st and De- cember 31st, according to a compila- tion published in the Wall Street Journal.
