The Directors reported that dur- ing the year the total audits of pub- lications completed and under way was over '800; and that the Bureau has thirty-two examiners making audits of publications all over the United States and Canada. These nren are specially trained in a system which analyses down to a fine point, paper bills, post office re- ceipts, galley lists of subscribers cash receipts for subscriptipns and every other detail needed by the ad- vertisers to guide them in judging and weighing circulation.

Belleville,, {June 16.--Another Belleville boy has given his life for the Empire, Clifford Robert Burrows, son. of Stephen Burrows He was killed in action between June 4th and 6th. "Cliff" Burrows was one of the most gallant Belleville boys that have gone to meet the Hun. He had played the game since war began. In the early fall of 1914 he took 'a course in infantry instruction at Belleville, and qualified as lieuten- ant. For some time he was at Kingston on military duty, and then when the call came for McGill rein- forcements for the Princess Patricias, he threw off his officer's uniform and enlisted as a private soldier with the McGill detachment. Early last fall he went overseas and had been fight- ing at the front since early in the year. Evidently he was caught in the German drive on Ypres. A RELUCTANT TRIBUTE 1 cannot help but love the way In which the gallant Germans pay The price in blood. They heed no cost in death or pain If by their valor they may gain A foot of ground. Each soldier sets his steady face, And dies content if but his place In front be found. ~ With all my heart I hope defeat May trip at last their charging feet, May break their blade And yet I drink a silent toast To that onrushing. mighty host-- _ "The Unafraid."
