THOMAS TALLEM, VERONA, | | WRITES OF HUN TREACHERY, | | Tells of Incidents He Has Seen and | Describes a Big Canadian At-} | tack--Letter From Tpr. Joseph | Smith. | Speaking of the attack made by | the Canadians on the Germans the| |day after Easter Pte. Themas Tal-| {lem writing. to his mother. Mrs. E.| | A. Tallem, in Verona, says: A lit-| {tle after half past five word was | | passed along, "Over vou go" and | they say we were half an hour ahead jof the time the schedule called for {in reaching our final objective. You | have seen a field all torn up by the | feet of cattle and that is what the | ground looked like It was as full |of holes as it possibly could be. | Old Fritz's trenches had disappeared | altogether 'Trenches that had been over ten feet deep were completely | filled up bythe artillery fire. Words | eannet describe the scene that met | our gaze. Artillery had never done | such deadly damage before. It was the heaviest barrage ever put up in { history. Gun emplacements made of |armor plate were twisted and turned {by the shells and the liquid fire. | Concrete emplacements were shat- | tered to pieces. Dugouts one hun- dred feet deep were so good in that | barrage if one of our shells hit | them. © We call them flying pigs. If | they had legs on they would certain- ly look like big pigs. Fritz retaliat- {ed hard but we consolidated in a | wood. That was on April 9th and | now they are miles past where we took our objective. Of prisoners there were plenty. Some were all | right and others were not satisfied { and put up a short fight. As an | incidence of this there was an of- | ficer and six men telling some Friti- | zies down in a dugout to come out. | The first one got out saving "Mercy | kamerad." 'When the officer's back | was turned he threw a bomb at him. | Luckily for the officer the bomb did | not explode. Let me tell you that guy had a short life after _ that. | There were about eight men still in {the dugout The! officer placed his | men in the shell hole and as fast |as the Fritzies came out and got |clear of the éntrance six bullets | punctured his dirty hide If they showed the least sign of putting up| a fight they were wiped out com-| pletely. This may sound rather fishy | | but it is a true fact I heard a story | of a private that was detailed to | bring in a Fritzie officer. The officer | refused to go unless he was taken | by an officer of equal rank. This | private was telling his chum about this afterwards and his chum said, | "Where is he now," The other re- | plied, "He's there yet." | suppose | you know why. Well, for fear you | don't I'll tell you. - He killed him on the spot. The wounded were the saddest part of it all. | tainly sees some awful sights; men { with legs off, arms off, heads off, and men blown to pieces. After I had | seen my first dead man I didn't mind | it as much as I thougat I would. | Blood 1 thought was an awful sight when around home but out here the ! very shell holes in which there was | water were of a reddish tint." | He also describes what the sound | of a shelling is like and the condi- tions he is in. Remarks are also | made on the recruiting situation in {which he says that all the boys | 1 in France want the war to end. and | he supposes the only ones that don't, care when it is over are the men in| | the bombproofs and the slackers at| } | home, What Joseph Smith Says. {| Tpr. Joseph Smith, a former em- ployee of the British Whig and now {with the Royal Canadian Dragoons { in France, writing to his sister, Miss Agnes Smith, Portsmouth, says: ! We are having it a little warm around here now and I got a great birthday reception as I was going {into the front line when we had !about "Umpteen'" machine guns | turned on us. They were just like hailstones coming around. One went in my haversack and through a couple of tins, through my holdall, {ripping tooth paste and razor box 'and landed in the housewife. | have {it for a souvenir. Another dinted] | my tin hat but that was nothing | compared with the shells as we at- tacked a wood and Fritz put up a | barrage fire. 1 was with a few others |in'a corner of the wood and every | time one would come we would get | the spray of earth, stones, etc. We | were sure lucky as none of us were | expected to get out of it. It is great to hear Fritz yelling out his| comrade stuff. Two of them said that to a fellow and while he was taking the rifle from one the other shot him through the stomach and both got away. You can see their tricks. : 1 Military News | 3 The only departure of troops for. an eastern training point in several weeks took place on Thursday even- ing, when Capt. J. E. Freeman took away eighty-eight forestry men and Capt. Blezard teok away fifty men of the Army Medical Corps.

For to-night the Grand offers a five-part Fox feature, "Tangled Lives," with Miss Genevieve Hamp- er as the star. Th's gripping drama was screened at Kingston, Jamaica, and directed by the veteran Fox director, J. Gordon Edwards. Miss Hamper is cne of America's most ac- complished and convicing stage stars, and made her debut as Jessica in the "Merchant of Venice" in Robert B. Mantell"s own company, and has been his leading lady ever since, up until the time she decided to enter the moving picture field. During this period she had a large repertoire of classic characters; her greatest interpretation probably: be- | ing that of Juliet. So there is hardly | any actress better fitted for the! strong emotional part that she is; called upon to portray in this won- derful feature. Four reels of feat- ure Universal photoplays, and the Pathe News will also be shown. Two acts of feature vaudeville complete this strong bill for to-night, to-mor- row and Saturday.
