Writing In London paper, he rays; It was on June 26th last that >i lett London to commence my duties at one of the two official British kine- matographers at the western front,, and I began almost at once. Up to June SOth I was out every day with my camera in front of the British lines, recording the Britieb shells bursting over the German trenches, I was concealed in a shell- crater, a post of some peril, for more than once I became the object of at- tentions on the part of some con• founded striper.. The noise as the British shells passed over nay head and those of the enemy buret in the neighborhood was simply diabolical, and during the wholesixty-tiro days 1 have been at the front headaches and myself have been Intimately acquainted, While.. filming near Mametz a piece of shell hit the bonnet of my motor. ear. I might explain that both Mr. Malins—the other official kinemato- grapher—and myself rank as officers. Our uniforms are the same as a lien - tenant's, with the exception of the distinguishing badges. Of course, we have carte -blanche to go everywhere. Our cameras are not screened by thin plates of steel, as most people seem to think, We use ordinary kinemato- graph cameras, but I usually put a sack over it, On July let, when our feliowd went over the top, I was between Mametz and Carney, and was right in the thick of the advance, where I got caught in a tear -shell attack. This is not particularly dangerous, but �tt'e eztretaet!y enpleasant, and for a time it eomptetely disables the suffer- er, For an hour or two you feel as if you had a bad influenza cold. I was up with the Irish when they took Ginehy, and several men were killed quite near me. I was turning my handle in the midst of the in- ferno, when up came a general. "Hello!" What the devil are you doing here?" he asked. I think he took my camera for a kind -of survey- ing instrument, as several officers 'have done at first. "If you please, sir, I'm the official kinematographer," I replied. "Oh, are you? Well, do you know you are in a very. dangerous place?" r "Yes, sir," I answered; "but that's the only way I can get' good results for the people at home." "Well," he cried, "you've got a dashed risky job! I'd rather be in my shoes than yours any day!" The British Tummies welcomed me everywhere, When they discovered why I was out there they said: "Good old moviesl- It's about time the peo- ple at-home caw what we have to go through!" And here let the pay my tribute to the wonderful spirit of our men. It's the old British tenacity, and it simply can't be. beaten. The British soldier is the most splendid man on earth. And, let pie tell you, the Germans know it. I've seen trench after trench filled with German dead. You must have noticed in the "Somme" film how thickly the ground was strewn with fallen Huns. I came on one machine-gun emplacement where aBritish shell had caught the gem fair and squ'.re, and had not only killed all its crew, but had also spread death and destruction in the trench behind. I also took the scenes where hun- dreds of Germans are coming in with their hands up—you know, the part where the Wounded Tommy angrily shoves a German who clum- sily brushes up against his wounded arm. I realized when I got these pic- tures of wholesale German sur- render that I had secured a "scoop" which would alone be sufficient to make the success of the film. Do you knot., some of the prisoners were such bags of nerves that they thought I hat a kind of machine-gun training on them, and several of thein came right up with, uplifted hands, crying "Kamerad!" When I got back to Franco again, after bringing over the negative of the film to London, I brought with tne a print of it to show the boys at our ennip kinemas, behind the firing - line, and I can tell you they were de- lighted with it. This trip I've brought back with me several thousand feet of film, which, I veriture•'ta say, will be more startling than "The Battle of the Somme." Will the "tanks" appear in this series? Ah, you never can tell, can you? I mustn't • say anything about there menders. I've had some narrow escapes on this last trip. Last °Saturday fort- night, while turning the handle, sev- eral.shells burst within .thirty feet of me. A few minutes later the water- proof cover of my tap was split by a small piece of shell which left the eap itself uninjured. Long before these lines are in print I shall be at the grout again, and it will not bemyfault if I do not secure further remarkable evidence of the achievements of cur amazing meta. Effect of War on Oxford. The effect of the war upon the Universityof Oxford is strikinglY shown by the 'reduced number of freshmen coining into residence.

The usual business was transacted, and a very profitable meeting held; the election of officers resulted in alt j the former ones being reelected for the ensuing year, The officers are:—C. R., J. H.

It was sent from the trenches by his son, a mem- ber of tbe first Caeadiau contingent. It is made of metal, but very light though strongly built, and of a very light brown color. On the front it has the German I eagle and Prussian motto and coat -of• ams, and on the side a rosette to which the chin strap is fatened. From its appear- ance it looks as if its former owner had received some severe handling on the firing line. A 'somewhat awkward situation has arisen at Seatortb in connection with the recent municipal nominations, There were not sufficient nominees qualified for the council with the clerk and anotbcr nomination will be necessary. It appears the Mayor and old council are somewhat embittered at certain Criti•:ism of their conduct of matters pertainitlg to the tem- perence cause, which to k place at the nomination proceedings, and it is claimed the meeting developed largely into a temperance discussion rather than, of municipal affairs. Citizens are awaiting events with much interest. Stratford Her- ald. ICapt. Babb, aged 77, died at his home in Gaderieh, on Thursday last.
