We were out at night digging a
communication trench from our own
trench to the line of German trenches
we had that day captured. Things
went pretty well the first night and
we had not many casualties and we got
about a couple of feet deep,iu very hard
ground, using *bell boles to save dig-
ging wherever we could. and there
were plenty, I can assure you. The
next night was a bit livelier (also
deadlier). We hadn't been nut over
)tree quarters of an hour when the
world seemed to have been turned to
hall itselt, the noise was ear-splitting.

falling all uod, hut we continued
with our work. stopping now and
again to bandage the wound of a
comrade or to lilt a dead one out of
the way. wondering if our turn would
be next, almost wishing it would. My
beat pal was mortally wounded by my
side and a lad badly wounded by the
same shell at the other side. We car-
ried thew both to another trench
which was a bit safer. and returned to
work. By this timea party of infantry
had gone forward en a bombing at-
tack to tray and capture a bit of treed]
which we wanted, but the enemy were
waiting for them with a hurricane of
bombs and machine-gun bullets, and
only seventeen of them ever came
hack.
Then the bombardment slackened
off a bit and our guns were replying
furiously, flare lights went up and we
could see the Huns coming over to-
wards us : now came our turn to try
oto save the situation (100 R. E.'s and
fantr.y). We grabbed our rifles

When worry is added to overwork

The Apple Situation.
Scarcity of labor and expecte-
tiob of low prices for apples will,
in all likelihood, lead to a gen-
eral neglect of orchards, partic-
ularly smaller orchards, in On-
tario this year.
Because of this fact, instead of
there being a large crop of
apples, there may be a small
one, at least the quantity of
I o. 1 fruit may be quite limited.
Those who really take care of
their orchards may, therefore.
be surprised by the returns ob-
Seined in the fa1L
