D. R., Beutinek, on One reason for this remarkable suc- cess of the French was no doubt the. fact that the German ranks on the Verdun front had been weak ened for the purpose of utrengt hing their forces on the Somme. In the l,ttt r region the enemy's resistance has slilfenv'd oi' lateand this, combined With .contin- uous bad weather, has prevented the continuance of the allied offensive on a large scale. It is believed that the Germans have been gathering their strength for a heavy counter offensive on the Somme. They have not yet been able to launch this, and not with standing the rain and mud, the Allies were able to make a little progress. On Sunday last the British took trenches east of Les Boeufs, while the French advanced the Region of Sailly- Sailllsel. Credit Auction Sale Not only do the French hold all the territory gained, a greater success fol- lowed. for the ring they formed round Fort Vanx. forced the Germans evac- uate it and thul the French took pos- session with few or no casualties. This is the last stronghold in the immediate vicinity of Verdun and its capture is a double loss to the enemy, for he loses his reputation as well. The footers of the week on the Western front was the sudden and tremendous blow delivered by the French upon the army of the German Crown Prince before Verdun. Un- known to the enemy our Allies had concentrated a mass ct heavy artil- lery in this region and at daybreak on Tuesday, October 24th. began a bombardment of great intensity. A. bout noon the infantry went forward to the attack and before nightfall they had recaptured the fort and village of Beaumont. the Thiaumont work, and the the quarries of Heudromenr, thus regaining in a few hours territ- ory that had cost the Germans months ot hard fightiNt and many thousands ot liven. More than 5,000 prisoners were taken. Desperate counter at- tacks by the Germans Were all in vain.--Presbyterian.

Nat Grierson had left tor the front the day before I came anq Lieut Thou. Allan is already across gain: his Ait. Gorsion Gun was in Orpingt6n visiting " fat. her while I was away but haw him for a short time on Manda. He has tried examinations for otor Transport Driver, The doctor himself is in charge of two wards in the Orpington Hugital and all the shell shock oases broug t to this Hospital are under his care and Ernest and Alex met me at the stat- ion in Folkestone; after "eats" we went to the theatre but the show was rotten, Next day the Dromore boys came along with them, After, we whiled the after. noon away in the pleasantest fashion possible for Folkestone. Really there is no pleasure sightseeing in this city for it's crowded-crowded with Canadian Soldiers. In fact I never saw more Canucks in my life than I did here, The streets were full of them. Very few British soldiers and a small number of civilians. Folkestone is known " Little Canada. Murray Findlay was full of regrets because it was Sunday and he could not get a film for his camera and have a group picture tak- en. Edgar Renwick is like Lance Me- Girr in the fact that he recognises a pretty face on the street and there are ‘ many in Folkestone. Edgar was kept, busy. Alex Findlay had to return to camp at 3 o'clock to perform guard Viuty sol did not see much of him. The l Dromore boys are a natty trio of sol- ldiers, when rigged out in military re- galia, their spurs, bandoliers and whip l making an attractive attire. We had I no special place to go to on Sunday eve- ning, so Murray and Alex took the res- ponsibility of having us go to church and to them it would seem quite home- like for inside it was fitted out nearer like Amos Church, Dromore, than any other] had ever seen. Unfortunately I had to leave for my train before the service was over and Ernest and Ales kindly piloted me through the dark streets to the depot. _ I had quite an enjoyable week-end visit to Folkstone where I saw Ernest McGirr, Alex Bell, Alex and Murray Findlay, Edgar Renwick. Sergeant Jack Greenwood and two of my old pals who enlisted with me in Toronto but who are now in the Military Hospital at Shorncliffe. It was strange howl met Jack Greenwood fort really did not ex- pect to see him. En route to Follie- stone it was necessary to change trains at a small Kentish town named Ash- ford. Nosooner hadl got off then I ran into Jack, travelling in full military style, overcoat rolled bandolier style. haversack slung on shoulder and a bay- onet pouch at his waist. Two other men with him, one? kiltie, were fitted out in a similar fashion. Really it look. ed serious and I wondered at first if .Jack was bound for France. I was con-i sidering the advisability of asking} orhat were his favorite Bowers when en. l lightenment came. Jack was doing l escort duty and Mr Kiltie was a prism oner in his charge to be handed over to‘ Headquarters at Shorncliffc for Court martial, the crime being seven weeks holidays, "French" leave; Seeing that it was nothing worse, I got back to nor. mal and conversation. Camp life is a. greeing with the Edge Hill boy and his tanned face speaks more of the soldier than the ministerial student. He informed me that he is transferring to the Ordinance Corps which unit looks after the ammunition, rifles and all mil- itary supplies of thisnature. ..1 arranged to meet him on the Leas in Folkestone next afternoon but as we did not run across each other again, I am wonder. ing whether the prisoner made his es- , cape or not. l Pte Weller has nothing but praise tor his dead Commander. He had been under him for 18 months and with him in France for , months of this time. To use this man’s own words; " he wan always cheering us on. When attack- ing, he would be going from gun to gun encouraging the crews in a way which would gain the highest admiration of the men. I tell you what the boys would have done anything for him." According to Weller. it was " Thiep. val engagement that death came to this popular otttcer. The Baton Battery had taken a prominent and successful part in the capture of Courcelette after which they had rested behind the lines. Then they were pushed forward for the attack on Thiepval. The British and Canadians had shelled the German trenches in a merciless fashion and "Fritz" replied with a terriflc bomb. bardment which made our men hug their positions and remain "mum" which is the only thing possible when shelling is on. At 3 o'clock in the; morning of 27th Sept., a shell of the "whiibang"type laid Major Knight low, killing him instantly. Upon the spreading of the news. a gloom spread over their section, but nothing could be done then. The Eaton bat. tery suffered severely three of their four I officers were casualities and 23 cut of 82 men in the section were wounded or) killed. 1 7 Dear Friends at Home ',-- . ' .
