ON BARRIEFIELD ~ 1915. HEIGHTS WITH THE; OVERSEAS TROOPS hag ty One of the most important things taught the soldiers at camp is the use of the bayonet. Up to the time this war broke out the bayonet was not considered as efficient as it is. now. The war has brought out the ne cessity of the soldiers baing experts in handling a bayonet. On the field to the sonth of the Gananoque road are trenches and rows of sand bags used in bayonet training. The soldiers are shown how to charge out of one trench in- to another and how to protect them- felves with the bayonet. A chm- "pany of the 59th Battalion is given this instruction every day and be fore very long the men of the 80th will be receiving the same advanced training. Eight recruits for the 80th Bat talion arrived frog Port Hope on Friday and nine also from the 41si Jrockville regiment for the same overseas unit. Lieut. M. M. Johnston, 34th Bat tery left on Friday for a visit with his parents in Montreal. Capt. Strothers sent five men to the 80th Battalion from Ottawa on Friday. Major G. H.

For the first time since the 80th | Battalion has been mobilized a route march through the city streets was taken on Friday afternoon.

TELLS OF A BATTLE BETWEEN GERMAN AND ALLIED AIRSHIPS. The German Machine Was Brought Down--Cotporal Gimblett Writes An Interesting Letter From The Front. A letter from Corpl. R. J. Gim- blett with the 5th Field Battery de- tachment at the front tells of the des- truction of a German aeroplane seen | by the Canadians. The letter reads |; as follows: { "The weather continues to be of || the very best for our business al. || though the farmers are complaining of the lack of rain. I saw some of the R.C.H.A. boys yesterday. That |; was the first that I had seen of them, || although they have heen in this coun. try for about a month now. They | all appeared to be in good health and || spirits, and eager to get into action. "We had a rather usual sight the other day. We were the cheering || spectators of the bringing down of a || German aeroplane by one of our av- fators. It started at 7.15 a.m. The || first we knew of it was when we || heard and saw the burst of cur anti- || air-craft shells. Several pairs of binoculars were soon put into com- mission and the tidings were quickly passed around that it was a German. As it was one of the new type we were not sure until we made out the | crosses om it. It was at a good | height and seemed te pay no atten- | tion to the shells. Very suddenly] from out of the clouds somewhere | one of our bi-planes swooped down | on it with its- machine-gun rattling | away to beat the band. You can | imagine the thrill of such a sight, | for the enemy were not slow in get- | ting their machine-gun going. When we saw the German begin to fall with a rush, for his machine appear- ed to be out of his control although* he speedily righted it, you should have heard the cheers. And the nearer to earth he came the louder we cheered. Our machine followed | hard at his heels until he was sure | that there was no ruse intended. The | German's engine appeared to be in| trouble for when he was about to] make a landing he was successful in| getting it started after a little trou- | ble and immediately he started up| again.

Principal Gordon contributes this "Foreword" in Queen's Journal: "The war cloud that hung over us last sess is still heavy. A large | number of students and graduates from Queen's have gone, or are pre- paring to go, to the front.

'"Are worthy of their heroic saeri- fice, worthy of the outlay of noble life that will cause the names of St. Julien and Festubert to stand among the most memorable in the battles waged, for liberty and righteous- ness? Only by sharing the same spirit of service and self-sacrifice can we be fit to take rank with those who are fighting for us.
