BRILLIANT _ ACHEVENENTS OF CANADIANS IN THE FIGHTING | AROUND LENS Where the Circle is Being Tighter and Tighter--The Official Report Issued by the Militia De- partment. | (Canadian Press Despatch.) | Ottawa, Sept: 28 Many brilliant' achievements of the Canadian corps] in fighting around Lens, are detailed in a report given out by the Militia Department to-day, The statement tells of gallant work of Canadians from all parts of the Dominion in carrying by assault the formidably defended position known ag Hill 70. The casualties inflicted by the Cana- dian troops were quite exceptidnally heavy on this occasion, including the taking of 1,378 prisoners, with a large number of machine and trench guns, Apart from the military vglue of the ground gained, said the report, such results represent no small ad- dition to the growing strain imposed on the enemy by our offensive and must contribute materially to the ex- haustion of his reserves. The report adds that Canadian casualties. were light. During weather unfavorable for major operations the Canadians dis- tinguished themselves as usual with raids and reconaissances. On the night of August 9th a small party of twenty Canadians surprised an enemy outpost and accounted for the whole garrison. Describing the big battles about Lens, in the middle of August the re- port says that the Canadian infantry attack admirably supported by Can- adian artillery, was immediately suc- cessful, Our progres continues con- tinues the. report says and at very moderate cost to ourselves. The cir- cle is being drawn tighter and tight- er about Lens. HUSBAND AND WIFE MADE SUICIDE PACT Daughter of Former Toronto Alderman Killed Herself in Winnipeg. Drawn, | Winnipeg, Sept. 28,--With a 45 calibre revolver bullet in her fore- head, the body of Mrs. W. H. Math er, daughter of ex-Ald. Edward Hewitt, Toronto, was found in a room in the Royal AleXpndra Hotel yesterday. The woman had been dead for three days and mortifica- tion has set in. In the same room was the woman's husband, W. H. Mather, B.A., a returned veteran of the Army Service Corps and former- ly professor of literature in Simp- son College. Iowa Both his wrists had been slashed by the blade of a safety razor, and althcugh he is in a greatly weakened condition from loss of blood he is expected to re- cover The Winnipeg police believe that the tragedy was brought abomt by a suicide pact. = Mather, they allege, was {fi fear that under the comscrip- tion act he would again be called to the colors amd this fear preyed upon the minds of his wife and himself.

Huff, of Bloomfield, is feed- ing three-year-old silage, and finds it as good as it was the first winter. He has had so much each year that it was not fed out before the new crop came along. The first summer he tried covering it with clover chaff to prevent waste, but it was not sat- isfactory, and so this year he tried sawdust, spreading atout seven in- ches over the top of the silage and keeping it wet. About twice a week was often enough to sprinkle it, and the ensilage kept without any waste whatever. Canadian Casualties. Killed in action--R. Tobico, Rose- neath, Died of wounds--A.

It is the story of a scrub- | woman who sacrifices all in order to | get money to give her only son some |of the advantages she had never | been able to secure for herself.

Quite a few far- mers in the county planted it, and it has made a good impression so far. The ears are well formed and well filled. For this reason it is expected by the growers that it will make as | good ensilage as the smaller varieties. This may not prove the case, in the Sun's opinion. It is well known that the best feed valués in the ensilage come from the ear, and in this case the percentage of ears in the total eilage will be very small, @s a result of the rank growth of stalk and leaves.
