James C, Stew- arf, son of James Stewart, postmas- iter, who returned home from the fir-| Ing line on Monday aftermoon, was! very modest about his ewn experien-| jces, when interviewed by a represent-| {ative of the Whig, at his parefits'| | home on Bagot street; shortly after | { he arrived from Montreal, on the In-| | ternational Limited. He paid al | glowing-.tribute to the work of the | Allies as a whole and "went so far as | to classify the Canadian infantry as the bravest of the brave, As an artilleryman he had a splendid op- {portunity to judge their 'work, and stated that everyone had to take off their hats to them. ill Capt.

He is a || member of the Third Battery, Second i| Brigade, C, E, F,, and left with the || First Contingent last August. He i went to the front with his, battery in February. He was associated wih Major R. H. Britton, Gananoque, {in command of this unit, and is a | graduate of the Royal Military Col- | lege. Readers of the Whig had the pleasure 'of reading several interest- ing letters from him. Tribute to Major Britton. As already stated, Capt. Stewhrt did not care to speak of \any E own experiences. Ever had to say, pertaining tq the work of the men as a whole. He paid special tribute, however, to the work of Major Britton, his commanding officer, and also had warm words of praise for Col. Morison, D, 8, 0, commanding the First Artillery Bri- gade. Speaking of the British. and the French he sald they considered nothing 'too good for the Canadians, and they were well pleased to know that they were being supported by fhe Canadians. The young Kingston officer - also referred to the gallant work of Capt. George Richardson. He said that he was doing magnificent work, ang that all the men under him were singing his praises. "And he cer- tainly deserves all the praise that has been showered upon him," he add- @d, "for 1 have heard a great deal about the way he carried on his work, and the way in which he treat. ed his men. Kingston can well be proud of such a man." Asked about the work of the hos- pitals, Capt. Stewart said that it was, | Indeed, wonderful the way the many cases were handled. 4 "The Red Cross Society is certain: | ly éarrying on great work, and ren: dering noble service to the country, The system is wonderful. Every- thing that has been said about thet work in the press is true," lo: in London, Capt. Stewart had the pleasure of meeting his bro ther Lieut, Rodgie Stewart, who went |} overseas with re-inforcements from the battery in Kingston. | ! Although many opinions have been | expressed as to the length of the |} war, Capt. Stewart says that it is im- possible to even guess when it will be over, The conflict is a terrible one, and it might not be stretching he peint, whatever, fn saying that would last several years. Trip On The Scandinavian, Capt. Stewart and his brother offi- cers had a most enjoyable trip over n the Scandinavian. They man: aged to keep clear of German sub- || marines, and there was nothing of | an exciting nature, Interesting to || those on beard was a Chinese troupe, || whose performance added greatly to tf the gaiety and enjoyment of the pas- sengers. x The troupe stayed in Que- ngers, 172 were .

Snelgrove per- haps had the most thrilling éxperi- ence, He was wounded in the bat- tle at Festubert. His battalion, the Tenth, had cleared the wood with the Sixteenth Battalion, at Ypres, a month previous to May 22nd, the date on which' Capt. Snelgrove was wounded. On the night of May 19th his battalion was called to take over some trenches which had heen | occupied by the London Rifle Brig: ade. . A few days later the battalion was called upon to take a redoubt. The attack was planned for the 21st, shortly before 8 o'clock in the morn- ing: °~ With the aid of the bomb- throwers, the battalion succeeded in driving the Germans back three hun- dred ¥ards. ' The trench occupied by the battilion was barricaded und everything remained . quiet unt early on the morning of the 22nd when the German artillery opcned fire on the occupied trench. } The first was so direct that the casunities were tertific, some parts of the trenches being literally blown to pieces. It. was a' common thing for a man to be blown out of the trenches three or four times. In the forenoon of the same day German bomb-throwers came out of their trenches, crawled .in the tall grass, and attacked the trenches with bombs. These trenches were occu- pled by one platoon of D Company of the Tenth Battalion. As the way had beemTCleared by the German ar- tillery, the opposing infantry had lit- tle trouble in advancing, protected ny their artillery. The bomb- throwers and every machine gun possible in the Tenth Battalion were sent to this section to meet the ad: vancing Huns, The bombs were thrown with great accuracy, and hardly a single man taking part in the German advance returned, The battalion was then supported by the Third Canadian Field Battery and held the position, although snel!- ed throughout the entire day. The work of the Field Battery was very effective, but the fire of the Ger : preventad reinforcements reaching them. - A counter attack was ex- pected at any moment, but it did not materialize, the Huns evidently be ing 'afraid to undertake another of- fensive. When the roll was called early the next morning it was found that the Tenth Battalion had lost heavily. * A few hours later the bats talion was reinforced by the Strath- €ora Harse, and later on by the sev enth Battalion. Shortly after the reinforcements arrived, Capt. Snel- grove was wounded in the spine, and woke mp from his unconscious state in an pital at Boulogne, The Tenth talion lost seventeen offi- cers and four hundred men, Lieut.-Col. Boyle, who was the commanding officer when the first contingent left Ypres. Major P. A, Guthrie, who succcedrd him, was also wounded. , ¥ a i Sl © Aug. 24.--THE Neral of the late Miss Flossie A.

Fraak, many of these letters coming from points in Geor- gia, but the greater number are from people outside the state, The let: ters from Georgians began to be re- ceived by Governor Harris immedi- ately after he announced that would take steps to apprehend the members of the mob that lynched Frank, These letters warned the Governor to 'go slow" in the mat- ter of ferreting out the Iyndhers. Some of the writers plainly state that if the Governor persists ip seeking for the lynehérs he will meet the same fate as Frank. While an- nouncing the receipt of these letters Governor Harris declines to give them out for publitation or to in- 'dicate points at which they wera mailed. "Of course, these letters will have no effect," said the Governor. "'l shall continue my efforts to bring to jus- tice these men who 'have violated the laws of the state." : The letters from outside Georgia are specially abusive and threaten- ing. These letters denounce Gov- ernor Harris for not having Frank 'strongly guarded at the state pris- on farm and some of them intimate that he was a party to the lynching. In somé of these letters threats are made that the Governor "will yet get his" for allowing Frank to be lyneh- od. There are indications that violent attacks by outsiders now being made on Georgia. are causing a reaction which will hamper the work of seek- img Frank's lynehers. 'The Atlanta Journal, which has been pro-Frank and denounced his conviction as a triumph of the mob, says: "We feel warranted in saying s word to those scornful and rabid out- siders who are villifying Georgia in sheer 'malice and are manifesting spirit as violent and evil as that o the mob itself, "It will be well for self-righteous critics in every part of the country, whether north, east or west, to shake their own dark corners on records, before denouncing indigeriminately the entire people of Geergia. Such indecent balderdash as the Chicago Tribune has invented against the south is unworthy of any self-re- specting newspaper in America; it is unworthy of even the Chicago Tri- bune itself."

After he had wound all the tlocks, Mr. Burnell went to bed again and fell asleep for the first time in many days.' Then he dis overed that he was hungry. He arose, went to his: kitchenette and prepared a light meal. Later he smoked his big pipe for a while and (hen found he was leepy. He returned fo his bed and ept until late Friday morning. Much refreshed he bathed, had breakfast and restmogd reading. - Mr. Barvaell's stenographer, Mrs. Effie New, went to the apartment at four o'clock in the afierncon to see if he had any dictation for her. She had been his stenographer fer twen- ty-two years and knew his ways. He had given her a key to his apart- ment and she was accustomed to let herself .in on days when Mr. Burnell did not appear at the office.
