De¢. 26.--A British of- ficial statement says: : "On Friday our aircraft carried out several successful raids .n the El Arish region (Egypt). At Mae- hdaba about a ton of high explosives were dropped, causing many casual- ties to the personnel. "Attacks were made on Beersheba (southern border of Palestine) and Auja, and an important railway bridge over a deep ravine at Tal El Sharia, thirteen miles north of Basi- sheba, was seriously damaged. All our machines returned safely." A report on the Mesopotamian campaign reads: "On the roing of December 21 British, airplanes dropped nearly a ton off explosives on the Turkish ad- vanced base and on shipping near Baghela, twenty-five m'les Kut-el-Amara, "On the same day hostile trenches on the south bank of the Tigris, near Kut-el-Amara, and on the north bank near Sannayyat were subjected 'o a heavy artilllery bombardment. Air- plane observers reported that both bombardments were very effective. At dawn December 22 a second air- plané raid on the Turkish base near Baghela was carried out." FATHER O'GORMAN MAY LOSE ARM Chaplain of Battalion Was Wounded While Aiding a Wounded Soldier. Ogdensburg, N.Y., Dec, 26.--News to the effect that Rev. Father O'Gor- man chaplain of a Canadian battalion and nephew of Mrs. John P. Dunne of this city has been incapacitated by wounds received in the war was made known yesterday and caused general regret. It was stated that Father O'Gorman was injured in the arm by a shrapnel shell while assist- ing a wounded comrade from 'No Man's Land" between the lines. chaplain O'Gorman and another sol- dier volunteered the perilous task of rescuing a fallen 'soldier lying helpless upon the ground. Under a heavy fire they supported their wounded comrade between them making for their own lines, when a shrapnel shell burst, some of the missles striking Father O'Gorman in the arm and shoulder. He was re- moved at once to a 'hospital where the surgeons in charge wanted to amputate the arm, but the plucky priest demurred. It was said yester- day that Father O'Gorman has prac- tically lost the use of the injured arm and that amputation might yet have to be resorted to. He is well known in Prescott and has many friends in this city where he has oftimes visited. His misfortunes cause sincerc' sympathy. London west of ho The Late D. R. Ostrander.

WOOD, Who Writes About Conditions in England--The 146th Boys Camp- ed Beside His Battalion--A Little Extra Powder Would Hasten End of the War. Pte. 8. P. Wood, of the P. P. C. L. I. depot, writes from South Camp, Seaford, Sussex, England, to the Whig as follows: No doubt the people of Kingston and vicinity are always scaning the papers for letters of the boys in England and France, as I used to do, so will try to tell them the same story as others have told. I have been in England two months and like the country fine. At this season it is somewhat rainy, but this month has been warm. Last month we had a*flurry of snow but no real Canadian weather. We often wish there was ice so we could have some lively games of hockey like we used to have in Canada last winter. You can look for us back next winter for certain, and watch us play. | The 146th are camped alongside, our battalion. I see the boys every day,--that is what is left of them.! The most of them are in France do- ing their bit. I know they will, as I did all my drill in Canada with them: They stood up for each other and will do so to the end. - 1 expect to be in France by the 1st of January, as I have finished | musketry, and now drill twenty] minutes a8 day with gas helmets. | With a little battalién drill and bayo-| net fighting we while away the days. ! I hope the boys are enlisting again this winter as last. A little extra! powder would hasten the end of the war, so don't hang back, boys. The Hun is about to the end of the rope. | Can you not tell by his enormous, | and we hope the last, drive that he is doing in Rumania. Many brave lads have fallen and more will fall, | but united we stand. | The boys here have quite a num- ber of places to spend the long even- 'ngs. Besides the Y. M. C. A. hut there are the Soldiers' Club, Home Hut, Church Army Hut, Salvation Army Hut and RecreationHut, be- sides each battalion has a canteen. There is vaudeville in the "Y." hut five nights a week. I am sure we have a very good time. i ALL WERE SUCCESSFUL In Passing the Kingston Model School | Examinations.
