On account of there being so many wounded sol- | diers who had enlisted in the wes- tern. provinces, the authorities - at Quebec saw fit to examine those men first so that they might commence d There aboard Quebec lo { the men who enlisted in Quebee¢ and i{ Ontario were held until the last Some of the men who appeared be- fore the medical board were, pron- ounced unfit for further service and |! given their discharge | The volunteers enjoyed the trip over the ocean very much as the Me-§ {| tagama is a fine troop-ship There {| were almost seven hundred 'wound- ed soldiers aboard 'the steamer but none in a very serious condition.

A German officer or- {| dered him to hold up his hands and i halt, but Wormington refused to «| comply with his request, and ran as | fast as he could out of his way. Al- { though he was shot in the foot, he | was able to rejoin the remnant of thie | battalion, and from there was sent {to the hospital, where he received { medical treatment. He was soon {sent to England, where he was con- | fined to hospital for some time be- {fore it was found *hat he would be {unable to return to the front. Pte.

When he arrived in England he was trans- ferred to the machine gun section. On April 24th he was knocked out with the gas and also received some woundsrabout the ribs and lungs. Some Were Badly Wounded. There wefe a few soldiers aboard the train who were badly wounded but appeared to be able to be around and enjoy the pleasures of life. In speaking to some of the men who stopped off at Kingston, the 'Whig learned that two of the men had been thot close to the heart. J. Zivian, Gananoque, a member of 12th Bat- talion received a bullet wound below the heart'and D. Richardson, 4th Battalion, got a bullet wound above the heart. Both men informed the Whig that it was only through the careful treatment of the medical of- ficers 'that they were restored to health. Various soldiers said that the gas which was used by the Germans dur- ing the battle of Langemarcke was enough to killanyman. The gas would get into their, lungs and one would know nothing more until he arrived in one of the base hospitals, All the returned soldiers who served under Capt. George T. Rich- ardson speak in glowing terms of his actions on the field. His men found him an excellent soldier, not being afraid to take a chance. Other Returning Soldiers. While the train was standing on the siding at the outer station, the Whig reporter was able to learn some of the history of the other men. Some of them did not want to be reported, as their friends did not know that they were returning to the city, and for that reason they wanted to sur- prise them. Their history is as fol- lows: Pte. G. Buchanan, 2nd Battalion, suffering from gas and shock, enlist- ed in Kingston. Was wounded on May 23rd. His home is at Have- lock. Pte.

John Bently Arrived Home on Sunday From the Front. OF (From Our Own Correspondent.) Napanee, Nov. 22.---Another Napa- nee boy has given nis life for King and country. Word was received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Her- rington, that their son, Private Cal- vin Herrington, had died as the re- sult of wounds. Calvin left here with the First Contingent, and took part in the battle of Langemarcke, where he was severely wounded and taken prisoner, and had been lying in a German hospital ever since. The news of his death came with startling suddenness, as in his letters he spoke cheerfully of getting better. He leaves one sister and a younger bro- ther, besides his parents, to mourn his loss, and to take comfort in the fact that he died the death of a hero. Sergt. John Bently arrived home yesterday after being on active ser- vice for more than a year.

A western physician has views about food, He says: : "1 have always believed that the duty of the physician does not cease with treating the sick, but that we owe it to humanity to, teach them how to protect their health especial- ly by hygienic and dietetic laws. "With such a feeling as to my duty I take great pleasure in saying, that, in my own experience and also from personal observation, I have found no food to equal Grape-Nuts and that I find there is almost no limit to the great benefit this food will bring when used in all cases of sick- ness and convalescence. "It is my experience that no physi- cal condition forbids the use of Grape-Nuts. To persons in health there is nothing so nourishing and acceptable to the stomach especially at 'breakfast to start the machinery of the human system on the day's work. . "In cases of indigestion I know that a complete breakfast can be made of Grape-Nuts and e¢ream; and 1 think it is necessdry not to ovel- the stomach at the morning meal. I also know the great value of Grape-Nuts when the stomach is too 'weak fo digest other food. | ""This is written after an experien- ce of more than 20 years treating all fmanner of elronic and acute diseas- es, and the letter ix voluntary on my part without CH co ven oF Conagins 'ostum ud the above letter?

Washington, Nov. 23.--To relieve the greatest congestion ever known in American ports, Secretary of Commerce Redfield, or Secretary ol the Navy Daniels, the former an nounced Saturday, will ask Congress to permit the leasing of the navy': auxiliaries and colliers, to carry trans-Atlantic freight. This would would be a temporary expedient, h« said. x These naval vessels ate admirably adapted for @Rrrying freight, are in fine condition, and are lying unuse« practically all: of the time, Secretar) Redfield pointed out. At the same ¢ne, he said, goods are piling ap ir all Atlantic ports, and freight rate are rising. A car shortage is also threatened the Secretary said, because cars are tied up to await unloading.

London, Nov. ' 22. The English newspapers are aroused over the case of Dr. W. H. Wells, a former lecturer in the University of Munich, who has been conseripted for serviee in the Germany army, Dr. Wells is a graduate of Oxford, and an Eng- lishman by birth, but it appears that under the German law he accepted "complimentary" German citizenship when he accepted in 1909, a pension from the University of Munich. He is 38 years old. . English friends of Dr. Wells des- eribe him as thoroughly British in sympathies ang feelings. It is stated that German consular officials in- formed him in 1909 that his accept- ance of the pension would make no difference to his status as a British citizen. When the war broke out he planned to return to Engfand, but was dissuaded by colleagues into re maining at his post. PREMIER BRIAND EXPLAINS, Tells French Senate Committe About the Balkans Campaign.
