FIERCE - FIGHTING IN FRANCE
Dr. "Dick" H•tnilten. of Cornwall, Tells
of Ferocious Struggles.
Dr C. J. Hamilton, of Cornwall, •
(ioderieh ••old boy." has received the
tullowing letter from his sen, 1)r. C.D.
Hamilton, who as with Field Ambul-
ance No. 111. of the British Kxpedi-

August 211th, "somewbere in France" :
Lear Dad, -I suppose you received
my last two letters by this time. 1

Iasi Wednesday marked my fins
experience with German shells. I was
ordered up W an advanced dressing
station, to obtain an insight into the
methods employed in caring for cer-
tain classes of wounded. l bad occas-
ion to visit-ieenwt•edl-in a motor
ambulance, which had been sent to
the village for casualty cams. The
Germans were bombarding the place
viciously as we arrived. High explo-
sive missiles were falling in the streets.
and among the dwellings at short in-
tervals. and the crack of shrapnel
overhead was, to say the least, very
disconcerting. My abode became the
centre of the. famous Chateau of-
llJen.ored)!-. No doubt you have.
already heard tales cr:mected with
the fierce battle for the possession 'of
this place. The Daily Mail gives a
vivid description in the Tsetses last
November. It is one of the moat in-
tertsting fights of the present war.
The Germane were in occupation at
the time and ibe French came up,
surrounded the Chateau and dug
tbemeelves in. Two garden walls
separated the contesting forces. Be-
hind the lint was the enemy and hack
of the second our Allies. The latter
tunnelled under the garden. exploded
a mine beneath the enemy's trenches,
producing fearful .laughter, and then
)cbarwed with the bayonet. They
drove the Germans hack into the
buildings, who occupied the top floors

While walking about the street yes-

trophies, bettered helmets, lrrskrn

abells. We also turned up a huutan
body.
On Tuesday we went out to our first
line, wad►lig through a series of
reserve and eommunlcating trenches
after leaving the village and finally
getting within six hundred yards of
t.be enemy. There are a fine lot of
fellows out there, and they are mak-
ing the best of a bad time. They
read, play various„ games, and wi its

these they try to worry the Germane.
I had a look over the parapet and by
means of a French glans, which my O.
C. had been kind enough to lend we,
could make out the battered condi•
tions of things on the other side. The
Germans wet ire having a very un-
eomfortable time on their side. for we
usually send Yuck six shells for every
one that comes over.
On our way back we climbed out of
the trench and sheltered ourselves be-
hind a clump of trees be watch a battle
Ruing on in the air. A British aero-
plane was being treated to a dose of
shrapnel, just above us. We saw the
Haahes and the curls of smoke getting

he soon dived and sailed back to
safety.

1 came up hen last night and shortly
after the enemy began to shell the
town, and you can take it from me
that Hell eras let loose with all its
furies on that occasion. The sky was
ablaze with bunting shells, machine
guns, ,French mortars, aerial tor-
pedoes. star lights and every invention
of the devil took • hand in the fuss -
lade. What I minded most was our
own batteries and notably the French
seventy -fiver. Tete din and roar of
the guns was terrible, but they got

have been expected.
In the morning I paid wother visit

Ve had to run the gauntlet o1 an ex-

'nosily in our favor. Well, Dad, I

THE SEAFORTH DECISION.
DEAR Met. 6Atiro&, -On Septemher
11111 there appeared in The i roe Prom
an article troll Seaforth unoer the
heading 'For Sale Only When in the
Bar." The article closed with these
word" : "The decision is an Imre), tint
one from the hotel keeper'sstendpoint."
This eenteoce should read "From the
law-hreaker's standpoint." u it means
nothing to the honest botelkeeper.
Allow us to quote two clauses from the
C.T.A. and ask three not vented in
law to read them and compare with
the decision of the polies magistrste
in the Seaforth ease The general
public can then appreciate the diRlcul-
tiee of the temperance party in Sea -
forth. also see what the inspector ie
compelled to fate.
Clause 170 of the C.T.A. trader which
Mr. Yellow and Mr. Wallis .obtained
the search warrant reads: --"if it b

reasonable CRIMP to suspect That any

In the Queen's hotel case the defence
offered no evidence. The megi.tl*te
diem's/led the ease. if Police Magis-
trate Hoolmwteed thinks hie decision
just, well and gond. It may he law to
say that "place" does nut mean the
yard, but it is not the connuon inter-
pretation of the English language, nor
Is it in *mord with the .pirit and in-
tention of the law.

be found in the same room is quibbling
and makes it possible for the hotel. in

under the protection of law to sell. so
long as they keep e roan on the job to
disconnect the pump. when a constable
appears.
1t is perhaps fair to say- that a de-
cision of Justice Middleton in tete case
of Iter we. Nero, 6, O.W.N. 42 . "No
presumption that liquor is kept for
sale arises merely from the finding of
liquor unless found in the bar," was
before the magistrate at.eaforth.
In that case, however, the liquor
was found in a barn. while in the
Queen's case there was evidence that
the keg had been in the cellar and
connected with the pump in the bar.
Theca/se above referred to is a very
weak one end WAS taken under the
Ontario Liquor Act and not under
the Caned* Temperance Act.
The Crown attorney disagreed with
the magistrate and held, ‘.and rightly
so, that the police magistrate ahold
not have diemia.ed the rase in the
absence of any evidence by the de-
fendant.
The Temperance Alliance of Huron
county are behind the inspectors and
the Crown *ttotney, and are bound
to see the law enforced. Mo far they
have been well pleased with the de-
rision's handed down, hut in the
Queen a tette they believe there has
been a travesty 01 iuetiee, and th*t
an appeal should be taken on a ques-
tion of few. At all events the end is
not yet.

General lvanoff apparently is de-

success. The fortress triangle, which
includes Dubno, Rovno, and Lutak, 1s
almost entirely in the possession of

repulsed. Certain treacbee changed

"During one counter-attack a Rus-
