While the price paid for the gains made may be considered a heavy one, the casualties suffered are not nearly so great proportionately to | those suffered by the Canadians in| former defensive actions. The cas- uslties at St. Julien totalled over 0,000, and at Zillebeke they num- bered over 13,000. It would thus appear that holding the trenches against a storm of high explosive shells is more costly than offensive work over ground cleared before- hand by similar shells from one's own guns, No details are yet available here as to what regiments suffered par- ticularly. That the Canadians have done well is indicated by the brief cable received from G Byng by Premier Borden, but the details of their noble deeds are sadly lacking. | | THE STOCK MARKET Gains Were General For An Kinds | Of Stocks, (Special To The Whig) | New York, Sept. 21.--The stock] market opened strong and active to- day, Anacondi continuing to advance] with a gain of one point at 95.

The vessel sailed from New York to Manila, via Hong Kong. On its arrival at Hong Kong a portion of its cargo was re- moved by the British authorities presumably on the ground that it was consigned to enemy refuges at Manila.

Hemming with their party changed from motor cars to horses. The officers of the overseas draft and those of the headquarters staff were standing at the rear of the saluting base, and the party rode past them and made a most thorough inspeec- tion of each battalion. The Duke, as usual," paid particular 'attention to men wearing medals, though he ex- pressed his appreciation of the whole brigade. After the inspection of the over- seas units, H. R. H. rode to a place behind the saluting base, where a small body of 8t. George's Boy Scouts were drawn up. The Duke asked many questions, and was pleas- ed with this mark of patriotism by these boys. At the conclusion of the inspection the Duke took a stand by the salut- ing base and reviewed the battalions jas they marched past in column of companies. The music was by the 156th Battalion band. Col. G. Hun- troops. 4 Address of H. R, H. officers of the battalions and camp staff as follows: "Gentlemen, I am more than pleas- ed that I came here to make my last inspection before leaving Canada. I am pleased with the opportunity of- fered of seeing the regiments on the parade ground, and while my. in- spection, of course, has been only while you were on parade, I feel sure that you have profited by the several months spent at Barriefleld and by the instruction given. "I was particularly struck with the splendid physique of the Army Services Corps and Queen's Field Am- bulance men. I understand that these units are shortly to proceed overseas. I hope that you have learned as much as possible in the time you have been here and have paid particular -at- tention to that all-important matter of discipline. One must recognize discipline as vitally important and essential. Those very successful ad- vances that we have beer making on the western front have been due to discipline. No greater cause of fail- ure id there than a lack of discipline in troops. In referring to our Can- adian troops they say over there to please send troops who have been thoroughly incirlined. "Personally I lieve in it very much, and ow thé advantages. In a pinch th 1' men who follow officers anywhere 'and implicitly obey every command without question, are those who have been properly disciplined.

The application of conscription to Preland is suggest- ed the Mail in an article calling attention to the urgent neces- sity for obtaining more men for the it says, has by Daily army---a problem which, engaged the fullvattention of the gov- ernment. The newspaper suggests two other methods fo radding to the army, namely, the raising of the age limit from 41 to 45 years and the combing out of the young men from exempted vecupations, of whom it es- timates there are 1,250,000 physical- ly fit who have not yet been drafted into the army, The Times military correspondent, discussing the same problem, says: "There can be only one rule for the allies, namely, to place in the field ev- ery able-bodied man that we can raise. Compulsion for Ireland is necessary if the Irish divisions are to be maintained. tain raising the age limit,--it is not pressingly needed until three or four million men ensconced in civil oe- cupations and sheltered from ser- vice have beén combed out." The Daily Telegraph says the government is about to appoint a committee for the special purpose of this combing out, of which Austin Chamberlain will be the chairman.

E. Pipe, 33 Pine street, may be | justly proud. | Mrs. Pipe's father, William Churchill, has seen many years' ser- | vice in the King's army, and has seen [ action in India. At the present time | he is in the Army Service Corps in | England. Her husband, Pte. Albert { Edward Pipe, is in the Army 'Service | Corps in: this city. Previous to this | he enlisted in the 21st Battalion, but | was discharged as medically unfit. | While in uniform in the 21st Bat- | talion he had the misfortune to break his leg, and was laid up for several | months. Of Mrs. Pipe's six brothers in the service, two have been killed, Word reached her on Saturday that they { had died together on the Somme bat- | tlefield. The two lads, for they were | only nineteen and seventeen years re- | spectively, were Ptes. Albert Edward Churchill and Ernest Arthur Chure- hill. They enlisted in the Rifle Bri. gade in England together, and 'after seeing fifteen months' service they died together in the recent offensive at the Somme. There is also Pte. Thomas Chure- hill; who has a wonderful record. For fifteen years he was in the ser- rie fud enlisted for the front at t inning of the war. He was at the front doing his duty with'the Royal Fusiliers for eighteen months, during which time he was wounded six times. He fis now in India in charge of a station hospital. % Sergt.-Major @ Churchill, of the Tth Middlesex Régiment, was in the terrific battle of Mons and Loos, and has been wounded twice. He is now engaged in recruiting work in, London. Seaman William Churchill, an- other brother, is a first-class gunner on H. M» 8. Monarch, 2nd Battle Squadron, and besides being in the recent" Jutland sea battle, he was wounded while doing service in the 'Dardanelles. Driver Sydney Harold Churchill, who is only sixteen years of age, is in the Army Service Corps, and is undergoing training in England in preparation for service at the front. The three brothers-in-law of Mrs. Pipe who are in uniform are Pte. John Day, Royal Highlanders, wounded once; Driver Frank Green, in the Army Sérvice Corps since the war started, and . SBub-Lieut.

Cayley Hamilton, K.C., Regina, Sask., died on Sept. 7th as a result of wounds received in action at, he front 'in France. The young , who was nineteen years of age, went with his brother, Reggie Hamilton, in May, 1916, with a draft from Winni- peg to reinforce the Princess Pat- ricias, aHe was wounded twice in France, and, returned to England with his brother, who was also wounded, and both returned to the trenthes about six weeks ago. Cay- ley Hamilton was again wounded, this time mortally, and died in the fleld ambulance. Dr. Hamilton has no less" than ten phews at the front, as well as his son, Lieut. C. D. Hamilton, who left Cornwall to join the Royal Army Medical Corps. Not many families can claim a larger representation in the trenches. i DAILY MEMORANDUM Board of Education, $ pm.
