The time between the alarm and the parade of the men was very short, and everything was carried out in an ex- peditious manner. The 156th Battalion was marched as far as the trenches.on'the heights of Barriefield. The duties of all had been explained, ang the men took delight in the novelty of their task. These night manoeuvres, although sometimes they are rather long, are enjoyed, and are essential in the training of men for work at the front. i The trenches were manned and conditions #s nearly similar as pos- Outposts and piquets were placed, and men were put in the lis- tening posts. The recomnoitering parties were out, and special use was made. of the telephone com- munication in the trenches. The men _, AND A SPY. Enlisted in the 8th ©. M. R. at Bar- riefleld Camp--Little Game Was Soon Discovered. . The two escaped German prison- ers who are at the Herald House, Clayton, N. Y., tell a story of an Al- bany, N. Y., boy named George Rip- ton, being held at the fort without being given a trial ; Inquiry in official ciréles shows that the charge is false. Ripton was a trooper fi the 3th OC. M. R. at Barriefield. He was.in the habit of making frequent trips to Clayton and returning with "much money." In a locul hotel at the time a citizen reported hearing and interpreting the lapguage used by him with cer- tain friends as being German. The talk and other things convinced the military authorities of the need of an investigation, and his belongings were j§darched.- Lieut.-Col, J. R. Munro discovered that he was cary rying six passports of as many dif- ferent countries and all ere dated 1915. When before witnesses at the detention compound he admitted be- ing a German he was interned at Fort Henry. The military authorities claim to have proof enough to war- rant the most seripus-charge against him, and this will probably' be done if he continues his present fnethod, of pleading innocent of being a Ger- man. realized that they were supposed to be on active service and on the look- out for an enemy, and everyone was zealous in the performance of duties. At midnight another company took the place of those in the trenches, and the relieved men were allowed to go behind. The new company re- tained the positions until reveille was 'sounded, that is they 'stayed at the posts all night. During the night Brig.-Gen. T. D. R. Hemming and Col. G. Hunter Ogilvie inspected the lines, and they were very pleased at the excellefice of the manoeuvres. Lieut.-Col. W, J. Browne, G. 8./0., was in charge of the night's performance, and the success of the alarm 18 due to his painstaking care and thought in the arrangement of the many details.

His bicycle suffered serious damage. It is stated that the driver of the car, a young man, had a number of young girls with him, and that when the accident occurred one of the girls femarked, "Oh, he's all right," and the car was not stopped.

GERMANY HAS LAID BLIGHT ON BELGIUM Violation of 'Laws of the Hague Responsible for Piyful Con- dition--of Country, Montreal, Aug 29.-- Many bnquir- fes have been made of the Belgian Relief Committee as to the actual reason for the destitution now exist- ing in that part of Belgium under German occupation. ~ The Belgians, are thrifty, industrious people and many wondered why industry should | not continue even where people are under subjection. The answer is learned from those having possession of documentary proofs from Belgium is clear.. Since her occupation of Belgium and Northern France Germany has vio- lated every international law govern- ing war as laid down by the Hague Tribunal. Under the laws of the Hague the invader is privileged to levy upon the occupied country to the extent necessary for the invading army. fs Instead, Cermany has laid a blight over the whole of occupied Belgium, denuding the country. of everything --- manufacturing, crops, stock, food, raw materials -- and has ravaged her women and children 'as well. A tax of half a million francs has twice been levied on the already poverty-stricken people and fines for soma petty offence against the Ger- Gaver ave added daily ery to ple. The result is an invading army living in luxury from stolen goods and a populace; consisting of half-clothed, haggard women, weeping, starving children and babes, and the aged and infirm-- all of whom are obliged to look to Canada and the more fortunate na-| B| tions of the earth for food to keep | them alive. All each family asks is $2.50 to keep them alive a month. ; er Central Belgian Relief Committee, | { mittee.

GERMANS MAY SHORTEN LINE AT THE SOMME The British Can Advance and Also Withstand Enemy Counter-Attacks. London, Aug. 29.--From the Brit- ish, point of view the situation on the Somme is eminently spleasing, for they have demonstrated that they have the guns and the men not only | to advance, but--what is equally im- portant-----to withstand the counter- attacks of the Kaiser's finest troops and the pounding of his most power- ful guns. ' The British will not be hurried. They are satisfied to let the artillery pave the way--which is impossible in present weather conditions---before the. infantry Is called upon to move out of its trenches and shelters. How- ever, the present week may see a ift change in the positions around Thiepval and Guillemont.
