The advantages of such a ji road to the towns and municipalities between Belleville and Prescott Bl} would be incalculable, and after dis- §i}{ cussion the following resolution was i} moved by Mayor O'Connor and se- Ml conded by M. McParland: lll "That the Gananoque Board of ili Trade invite deputations from the H}| cities of Belleville, Brockville and Kingston, as well as from the towns of Napanee and Prescott, and the reeves of the municipalities on the highway between Belleville and Prescott to meet in Gananoque on Wednesday, August 16th, to discuss the advisability of joint action in se- curing a permanent road on the highway above mentioned, and that the Provincial Government be re- {quested to have their chief engineer and that the li press be also invited to be present." The suggestion was offered that | it would be a good scheme to ar- range at this meeting for a tour of Northern New York State, say, from Ogdensburg to Syracuse, thereby en- abling the members of this proposed organization to see the advantages and comfort afforded by the state roads across the border. | Letters To The itor No One Compelled to Serve, Kingston, Aug. 3.---(To the Edi- tor): Would you kindly publish in your paper the list of those who are exempt from military enlistment in Canada.--Citizen.

"The best strategy and the most suecessful tac- tics lie in attack," Yhe told me. "Don't let the enemy choose where he will hit you. Hit him first; keep on hitting him. The general's close-cropped, stubby hair seemed to bristle as he spoke. His longish but thin and little-noticed grey moustache quivered. "Yes, that is the way. Always attack. Even if he is stronger, attack him. Keep him guessing. Puzzle him, Make him wonder what you are up to." "But that means heavy losses'" "No, no, not if your attack suc- ceeds, Attacks which fail, like the German attacks at Verdun, are ter- ribly expensive. But successfal at- tacks cost very little. If only we had had mpnitiops this time last year..." He shook his head regretfully. He half-closed his eyes. He could see again the dim vista of the plains of Hungary, upon which he looked down from the Carpathian crests. He was think- ing of what might have been. 7. But men of action do not give way to futile regret. "Now it is different," he said briskly. "We have abundance of everything, as you have seen for yourself. We are ready, and we shall be very glad when we get or- ders to prove it." h. OO BG rege Peery THE CHANGE IN TWO SHORT YEARS. Syracuse Post-Standard, France's first preparation for the war was to move four army corps to the border. Four army corps! How many army corps have choked up shell-craters and gone down like Na- poleon's cavalry in the sunken road at Waterloo since that time? yGreat Britain voted to equip 500,- 000 'men and passed a war budget of =| $500,000,000. Since then Kitchen- er hag built an army six times the 'size of this first handful, and $500, 000,00 pays the cost of the war for little more than a week. We are surfeited with war. We are contemptuous of figures which have grown so great that they mean nothing--but figures. All sense of the individual has been lost., Has two years of the war made us more callous to individual suffering? Hardly that. But it has changed our outlook. The only news to-day which could create the same intense thrill of those first days of the war would be the news of peace. ------ PLACED UNDER ARREST. =| Claimed Soldier Was Injured as Re- sult of Carelessness.
