A private in a grenade company of the British expeditionary force writes; About 4.30 the order ran down the lines to stand-to. It was obvious that something was in the wind. Our surmise proved correct. It came as suddenly as it was dramatic. A ter- rific explosion, the like of which I have never heard, and a huge spout of black smoke, flame, sods, sandbags {and other things, belched from the | German trenches. The ground rock- ed beneath our feet, the sides of the trenches swayed, and seemed like to topple over. Some of our fellows were flung to the ground. . Simultineously our guns opened fire on all sides. We sprang like one man to the parapet and blazed Burst Eyery morning at this time, Way with rapid fire until our riftess were almost too hot to hold. One could feel that the Germans were staggered at the suddenness of the | attack, for they did not reply for [Some moments. When they did, however, all their guns seemed to go off at once. I thought my ear- drums would burst. To our right a line of khaki figures with bayonets fixed were sweeping towards the Ger- man lines. We expected to hear the order to charge at any moment. It lasted about forty minutes; but in that forty minutes I learned a lot. 1 felt for the first time what is meant by the joy of le, what it lis like to get a smell cordite in your nostrils and to see red. I knew then what it was that en- abled a nan in the full flower of his life to dare to cross the abyss from which there is no returning. It was ithe call of the blood. I saw across the Channel the rough island home --that England gdepended on us: and the knowledge set me aglow . with i pride. I wanted to sing "Land of Hope and Glory." The man next to me kept repeating, "John Bull, that's | {another from John Bull," and I was | uneasy no longer, for I saw the spirit not in a few, but in all, and 1 knew it is that spirit that will spell the doom of Germany.

Use of Fair Grounds For Drilling Granted to the Military--Hose in City Buildings To Be Replaced. As a quorum of members of the City Property Committee did not at- tend the scheduled meeting of Wed- nesday afternoon, Alds. McCann and White sat down and transacted the business themselves, and did it as well as if the full committee of seven had been in their seats. The application of the Utilities Commission for the office in the west wing of the City Buildings, at pres- ent used by the City Auditor, was granted, a rental of $100 to be charged The Commission wishey to have its electrical and gas collec- tions made there, and also inténds to advertise to passers-by various kinds of electrical apparatus. The audi- tor will be given the room in the east wing, for years used as a committee room Council committees will hereafter meet in the Council Cham- ber. The military authorities asked for the use of the Fair Grounds for drill purposes, and the request was grant ed The chairman intimated that Col. G. H. Ogilvie also wanted the plot on Rideau street, used in the winter for a civic skating rink. It seems that this plot is under the jurisdiction of the Parks Committee; and the mat- ter was referred to Ald. Kent. Ald. White remarked = that civic rinks would have to go this winter, for the military must have everything they required The committee representatives de- cided to ask Council for funds to re place the fire hose in the City Build ings, the present hose having become rotted Fire Chief before the committee the hose question. feet of hose 600 feet Armstrong appeared with refgatd to There are %00 in the buildings, and of tested all had been found unfit for service. The other 300 feet was likely in as bad condition. The Chief recommended the replacing of the hose and also the use of racks of the revolving type. Mill hose to the extent of 300 feet will be bought instead of the unlined linén hose now use--or disuse. MEN OF KINGSTON, SUPPORT THE 39th ! 59th Battalion, owing to the heavy drafts sent overseas, is now understrength The call is for 100 good men at once to join its ranks. This is a Kingston unit, officered by Kingston men, 'and with many local men serving in the ranks. It has therefore an extra claim upon us for recognition and support. The /eity should rally to this request, and roll up the hundred recruits without de- lay. Join the "Fighting Fifty-ninth," and get into the game now. Good men are wanted, required before this war is over. You might as well go now as dny time, in The and Were's a goad chance to get into a first-class battalion. IN MARINE CIRCLES.

A parcel post mail was to leave to-day and at noon over half a earload had been received and done up in bags. The idea was to safeguard the boxes and parcels as well as possible in transmission across the seas. Many of the parcels are the Christmas boxes for the Kingston lads in the! trénthes.

Thirty Grain Boats Steaming to Montreal Montreal, Nov. 18.--A fleet of over thirty lake vessels is en route to Montreal, showing an unprecedented | rush of grain through the Lachine canal. "Navigation will afunne in the Lachine canal until ihe basins are frozen over," said one of the officials in charge this morning. "We ex- pect to be busier in the next three or four weeks than at any other previ- ous time. The grain movement was late in starting this vear, but there is still time to increase our grain re- ceipts enormously before the season es. We expect a heavy move- ment through the canal before this month runs out. Over thirty ves- now cleared for the canal route to the ocean port." Up to date, the canal returns this year have been light, and the mext three weeks will decide whether the season has been a relatively slack one. Flax seed shipments are con- siderably ahead of any previous year. This js due to the great increase in tilled - acreage out west, flax being the favorite cereal for newly broken | soil. + KEPT WEDDING A SECRET.
