F. 8. Shepard, Field Secretary of the National Council of the Y.M C.A. for Canada.,, and Henry Israel, re- presentative of the International Committee of Y.M.C.A.s of North Am- eriea Prison York at concentration camps, addressed the soldiers in the Y.M.C.A. tent at the camp on Friday. Mr, Israel has just returned from England where he has been spen-- ing a year in the German concentra- tion camps in the association's in- terests, Pte. H. Morrow, 80th Battalion, is in the Field Hospital with a sprain- ed ankle, The 80th Battalion took a route- march through the city on Friday afternoon, going out King, up Bar- rie and down Princess street, The battalion looked splendid and Col. Ketcheson is highly pleased with the progress that the men have made. The 59th Battalion, ever 1,000 men strong returned to Barriefield camp on Friday afternoon at five o'clock after a march from Harrow- smith twenty miles away. The bat: talion marched into camp almost as fresh as if the march had only been as far as the bridge. The men show- ed no signs of fatigne. Only one or tWo were bothered with Bore feet and 'had to be carried part of the way back in the transports. Lieut.-Col. Dawson is highly pleased with the way the men car- ried out the mar¢h and has reason to be proud of the 59%th Battalion. There is a grey horse in the 33rd Battery which furnishes a great deal of amusement to the men. It is a decidedly contrary beast and is a ty- pical western bronco. Lieut. Boyd of the battery has had extensive ex- perience with horses while at work on his own, ranches throughout the west and knows how to bandle such anials and rather enjoys riding the brute, despite its ugly disposition. Lieut. Uglow is expected to re- port foseduty with the C.M.R. oh Saturday. Major W. Allan Stroud 'is a very busy officer. His mornings are spent at the camp and in the after- noon, leaving the command to Capt. Kennedy, he spends 'on recruiting duty at the armouries. * Major Brooks, O. €. Depot Regi- ment, C. M.

Pte, Thomas Carse, Brockville, at the Convalescent Home. Pte, Thomas Carse, 41st Regiment, Brockville, is at Home. He was at the front, and is suffering from. the gas. He has been at the Home since Tast Monday, but will probably be sent to Brockville, where he will enter an hospital for special treatment, but is far from being we'l, He was walking around the grounds enjoying the beautiful surroundings when seen by a Whig representative, and had no com- plaints to make, but it was plain to be seen that he had suffered much from the attack with gas made by the Germans. He has ben discharg- ed from service, and as soon as he has completély recovered, ft Is his intention to take up employment in' Brockville. POMESTIC SCIENCE CLASSES Are Being Well Attended And Pro. mise to be Most Successful. Domestic classes opened by the Board of Education have been well attended, and promise to be most successful. At the class held on Wed. nesday evening, there were twenty-! four registered and keen interest was manifested in the work. Great difficulty is still being ex- perienced in getting the men out to attend the'classes provided for them. The Industrial Committee has tried every means possible to get the men out, but it looks as if it is hopeless. Advertisements have been. put in the newspapers for men, but apparently the meu are too busy or they are in- different.

John Hassall, the famous Poster artist, was recently at the front, one of a party entertaining the troops, and recounting his experien- ¢e in a London paper, he dwells on the important part Tobacco plays in the life of the Army. We reproduce part of his article here: "lI have recently come back from a visit to the front, deeply impress- ed by the need for a large and con- stant supply of tobacco and cigaret- tes for our soldiers. Our ' small party included Alfred Lester, and we did our best to entertain the wounded. Wherever we went we found them cheery. The first place we played in was crammed with Tommies, Tommies pressed up against a rickety 'stage, Tommies filled the doorways, Tommies peer- ing through the skylight of the roof. I was due to appear as a broker's man in Lester's funny sketch, "A Restaurant Episode," but I could not / get on the stage. The audience could neither move backwards nor for- wards, so the skelch had to go on without me, I didn't get on until: it was all over and then I did some sketches. - "The stage had a piano at the back and just on the edge. When we had a dancer and the stage rock- ed, the piano would lean over, but it was held up all the times by some of the wounded Tommies. "When 1 finished, they made a great rush for the stage for souven- irs. Afterwards. the party distri- buted all the souvenirs they could possibly think of--my sketches went and so did my collar and tie, and in return the Tommies gave their bad- ges and their buttons and ribbons, and they gave the most: precious thing to every Tommy out there; they gave us cigarettes. No man who has not been out there can realize what that means to Tommy. He has . long and monotonous hours spent in the trenches with nothing to pass the time away except tobacco. It's his one solace, boon companion, call it what you like. If he is only kept going. with a reasonable supply he is happy. : "All these things make me think what an important part tobacco does play in Jife. But just think how very much more important it is to those fellows out there." Our readers are asked to contri- bute, to collect, and to enlist the help of friends in collecting for this kind object. Contributions sent to the British Whig's Tobacco Fund will be ac- knowledged through this paper. BIG 'GAME DISTRICTS. | Conveniently Reached Via Canadian Pacific Railway. | Canada's most famous hunting | grounds are easily reached via Cana- dian Pacific Railway.

A programme of sweet music was | rendered at the store of the C. W. | Lindsay, Limited, on Friday after | noon, marking the first of a seriés of | recitals, which 'will be given for the | purpose of demonstrating the Plaver | Piano and Victrola, which are at- | tracting so much attention at the | present time.

Pieces and Sent | Back To Refit-- The Queen's En- gineers Had Quite A Lively Epi- sode. The Whig foupd 'in the Renfrew Journal two intéresting war letters! from Queen's men that are worth re- production. Lieut. Kepneth Mac- Kinnon, M.D., a former hockeyist of from Bethnne, Sept. 28th: "Only time for a note. Our di- vision is cut to pieces, we are on our way back from the firing line to re-| fit. We were in the big fight of | Loos. In three days we handled 1 ,- 200 wounded in our ambulance alone, I missed a Jack Johnson | three times by less than thirty feet. | Had no sleep for four days and] nights. We were shelled out of our | dressing stations three fimes. 1 was| talking to one man eatly Sunday! morning in Loos. He was shot) through the head by a sniper while talking to me. The Gordon High- lander and Black Watch were mag- | nificent. I was up on hill 'seventy with them. Hell holds no terrors for me now, the devil could not possibly devise anything worse than I. have been through. It was a great victory for the Allies, but it cost them at least 10,000 men on our front (the Loos and this 70 district:) This is all the paper I have just now, will write again as soon as I can. I never knew what fear meant before but I know now. I never was so proud of the Scotch blood in me as I was when I! saw the Highlanders charge. They | were simply wonderful." | Engineers Between Fire. Corporal Neil Stewart, with Major | Lindsay Malcolm's Corps of Engi- | neers, in a letter home makes men- | tion of an exciting and trying experi- | nce that his company of 2nd Divi- | sion Canadian Engineers went | through one night while repairing! wire entanglements in "No Man's Land." They were working silent- | ly out in the open, sheltered by the | darkness, when one man uttered an | exclamation. Immediately there | came from the German trenches a dropping fire which quickly increas- ed to a fusilade,' The Canadian line | replied to protect their Engineers, | who "were forced" to lie flat where! they were. Then the artillery,.on | both sides, began to' bark .at each| other, and a lively duel was in pro-| gress, lit up by star-shells. Corporal | as quickly as it rose, and then after | completing their work the company | reached the trenches where they! were tald that they had come! thrcugh a sharp exchange.

Kingston's Largest Hat PLAYED VIOLIN SELECTION In Payment For Night's Lodging At the Police Station. < The sweet notes of a violin could be heard in the police station on Sat- urday morning about 8 o'clock. It | is rather unusual for the police con- stables to have music, but on this occasion th&y were honored by a Knight of the Road, a Frenchman, who had reached his thr re years and ten, who is tramping the roads. Friday night he struck the city, and as he was without the price of a night's lodging he went to the police station, and was given the very best the night sergeant could provide. ~ When the stranger was passing out Saturday morning he carried with him a much-prized violin, which looked to be about fifty years old, and a bag containing his wardrobe. As pay- for his night's lodging the old man sat down and played a piece on his violin, and then bade good-bye to the constables and was off, to resume his ramblings. Another Knight of the Road and a stray bull terrier dog, picked up by a constable as a vagrant, were the other occupants of the police cells Friday night. i ---- ; Passed Final Test. H. G.
