Mills Phone 89 1 THE WIN(.t{ AM ADVANCE THE' BATTLE HUBS OF TIM SOMME The following was written by Capt, R. R. Sloan, Blyth, anti is reprinted from the Blyth Standard. "Let um take you fur a little while In your most vivid imagivation to the actual life and realities as they have been on the Somme Battle Fields dur• ing the Summer and Fall of last year. Oue could stand and look in every direction and see nothing but a con- tinuous sea of shell holes, varying in size according to the amount of ex- ploeiyes used, This view will be brok- en by lines of trenches running here and there and much delapidated by the continuous pounding of the artillery and sometimes a mine crater can be eeen which will probably be 40 to 50 feet deep and half as much again in width. Salvage heaps loom up behind the lines of all the refuse of the differ- ent battles -damaged war material of every conceivable kind is always gathered up and taken back to be dumped,. There is not a living thing to be seen, the once green sod is c hurned up into a mortar of red clay and chalk. Woods and trees are no where to be seen and the villages once populated by peace loving inhabitants', have been levelled to the ground. When passing over where these places once etood, nothing is to be seen nut a few brick lying scattered about in the mud. Here and there will be seen a few wooden crosses, bearing the name of some German hero Who had given' up his life for his country and the cause of military despotism. Probably you would be able to see too large areas t f white crosses set un in straight rows and all at regular intervals, These bear the names of our own heroes who have so nobly given up their lives for the protection of their homes and country and a lasting peace to be en- joyed by the peoples to inhabit these wa.ing countries. Beneath can be seen the German dugouts, unique in their construction and so valuable as a place of safety and defence for the Hun when the British shells would be mercilessly pounding these formidable positions. These large enemy dugouts are usual- ly constructed not less than 30 and sometimes 5f feet below the surface of the ground, the walls stairway and ceilings consist of heavy timber and plank. There are generally two or three staircases as safety outlets in case of danger and close attack. These underground dwellings are divided into compartments, and again according to the rank of the army who occupy it. They resemhla a horse stable with a long passage down the centre, with compartments partitioned off and again divided horizontally in two for sleeping quartere. The beds consist of a fine wire and soft grass. The more superior ones used for divisional staffs are tastefully decorated the walls and ceiling nicely papered. rugs on the wooden floors and well lighted by electricity. In : many instances our own boys have used these comfortable quarters after being captured from the enemy, where, they can sleep in safety and out -of sound of the Hun shells. These most superior underground fortifications and dwellings go to show that Fritz never intended to leave them but by the superiority of, British artillery and the dashing and gallan t spirit of the British infantry the Boche very reluctantly had to ahandon his place of safety once thought to be impregnable.

(lemon, so Robert ktoleto]s,Wroxeter Received Judgment for $3,480 A case of Intense particular to many of our readers was held at Oegoode hall, '.Toronto, on Thursday, when Mr, Justice Masten rendered judgetnent for the full amount claim- ed by tleorge Gabel and Robert Narks in their Elation against the iowick Farmer's Mutual Fire Insurance Com- pany. The plaintiffs will receive under this judgement $3,480 with in• terest from February 7, 1010. The plaintiff Gabel'is a farmer of the town- ship of Wallace, Perth County and Marks is an agent, of Listowel. On Nov. 8, 1016, the defendant company insured for four years for $5.000 against lose by fire on Gabe1's buildings and their contents, The loss was to be payable to Marks as mortgagee of the property. On December 1, 1010, part of the plaintiff's property was destroy- ed by fire and theloss was estimated at $1,630 on the buildings and $1,030 on the coutente, The defendants refused to pay these sums on the grounds that the plaintiff had not made the statu- ory declaration of his lose as required by the terms of' his policy, and that also he bad misrepresented the risk and overestimated his loss, Tho sec- ond of these objections was based upon the fact that sometimebefore the lire Gabel made application for an increase of the amount of his policy because he had discovered the attempt of an in, cendiary to deett'oy his barn. In filing this application be struck a dash after the question, "Do you anticipate incendiarism?" The company held that this constituted a negative ans- wer, . and was misleading, but the court held that no answer had been made at all, and that there was no misrepresentation, Belmore Miss Hazel Baker and brother, Percy, visited their aunt, ^Mr's.
