J. ENOINEERS..lN THE WAR Canada's army in this great eifeneive has written a wonderful page in Cana- dian history, and no small part of Lille le due to the Canadian Eogiueere, A huge artery steadily advancing, such as ours is at present, neoeesitates a stu- pendous amount of engineering work, This is the epleudid task that the Can. adian Engineers are trained for, and' are now accomplishing with such splendid results, The status of the Canadian Engin- eers, is, however, often misunderstood in Canada, The sapper. au a private in the Engineers is called, gets' the necessary training before he goes to the front to enable him to be a super- visor of and a 'consultant for wok that is to be done, Tao work itself is carried out under his instruction by parties drawn from other units. A returned Canadian Eogineer oflleer says: "1 have not yet found any one in Canada, not a returned soldier, who knows the status of the Engineer in Fiance. It is a mistaken idea that the sapper in France does the actual work involved in construction of trenches roads, etc. The sapper in France has no time for that, All he can do is to guide and instruct working parties from infantry and other units. One sapper will have the handling of from 50 to 100 men nearly every day of his life. A field company may be hand- ling in working parties drawn from other units up to 1,500 men in a night at two or three assembly points. The sappers are there as consulting engin- eers, to lay out the work to set the task and report, on the amount of work done by the working parties under bis direction, and to report whether this work is satisfac' cry. This makes it quite plain that the Canadian Engineers are not diggers of trenches, etc., but supervisors of such work which is done by working parties from other units. 1'he same thing holds as regards other forms of con- struction and engineering work car- ried on by the Canadian Engineers "in France. The tradesmen in the Engineers, such as harness -makers, blacksmiths, car- penters, framers, bricklayers; masons electricians, engineers, machinists, plumbers and painters, and others suoh as teamsters, linemen, etc., will prac- tice their various trades, or supervise working parties in their trades' Another very interesting branch of the Engineers is the Divisional Signal Company. Five young men of some education are taken, and taught tele- graphy. telephony, horsemenship, motor -cycling, and other things for which they are adapted. The training Depotthis fort h s branch is at Rockcliff Park, Ottawa, Ontario, The Canadian Eagine.ers training Depot for the field section is at St Johne, Quebec, in wintertime, and at Valcartier Camp in the summertime. The length of time spent at the train- ing depots depends upon the progress made, but usually after from two to three months members will be ready to proceed overseas. The nature of the Canadian Engin- , eera, work in brands is such that they carry on their operations from the sea- coast to the firing line, Moving as they do from place to place, there is the opportunity to see and experience the many huge undertakings that this struggle entails, It is this, among other things that makes the Canadian Engineers a most enviable unit to belong to. It is attracting numbers of young men too, because the exper ience that one gets at the front makes him a much more valuable man in his particular trade after the war is over. Great numbers of young men from this district have enlisted in the Can- adian Engineers. Lieutenant 13, F. White, Q. E. will be in Wingham dur- ing the coming week. He will be pleased to see anyone wishing further information about this semi branch ,of the service at the Queens Hotel. A. Mills 11 IiI'The House of Quality. i.

The Editor, Wingham ADvANc1t Dear Sir;-- 13eiug an old Huron boy and having been aformer student of the Wingham Business College, and also having been born and raised in the vicinity of your progressive town, and am at the pres- ant serving as Vet, Officer to the 11th Infantry Brigade in the 5th Canadian Division at Witley Camp, I thought I would write yousomeof my experi- ences and tell you how the 161st Battalion the "Pride of Huron" which is one of the units in this Brigade, were progressingi Having had considerable military training the past few years back, I.was one of the members selected to go with a draft from Toronto this Spring as Veterinary Officers with the Blue Cross, we all being N. C. O's as 'ergt, upon being honored graduates we were promoted to Lieutenants, we came .across in March, last on the Southland, which has since been torpeoded, and were sent to Shorncliffe Camp for a few months preliminary training at No. 2 Canadian Veterinary Hospital, where I had the privilege with a few others, of witnessing the German flotilla attacks on Dover. This camp is situated near Folkestone, a beauti- ful eumnier resort which suffered so much by the recent Aerial raid a few members of the draft I came over with being some of the victims, I was gazetted Captain on May lat and transferred here and attached to my present charge, where I have met a good number of the men from Huron County, and also from London, Ont., my home town, I may state here that the 101st Bat, talion is the beet trained unit in Camp and the boys are all in the best of spirits and daily watching for mail from home and longing for the Day of Peace, but all have the one desire is for a blow at Prussian Militarism ,.was to demonstrate to Fritz what the Can- ucks from the Banner country of Ont. can do but it is too bad that they have sent numbers of this Battalion over in drafts, also the Huronites have the best transport section in camp, Thanks to the Officer Lieut. Grieves of Seafortb, the watchful eye of Capt. Vanstone which is held in high esteem by his men. We are sorry to hear of the death of Edward Helps also of Lieut. Dick Lloyd being wounded in action. The men are in sore need of socks so keep on knitting and keep sending them along. also parcels, as they cheer the poor fellows along, as we expect to be sent to France in July as we expect to be engaged in a five week's battle which will be a second Waterloo, and in another year's time we expect some of us, although there will be a good number of vacant chairs, to be march- ing home again so keep the home fires burning and we heartily welcome our cousins from the south of the Inter- national boundary into the fray. In closing I speed you all the best regards from the fellows and to hope that Oanada can retain the voluntary system, and also remember the Red Cross and the Blue one as well. Yours sincerely Capt. W. Torrance Galbraith, C. A. V. O. Witley ()amp., England Thos, Jewitt and his wife celebrated their 60111 anniversary of their wedding at their home in Bluevale.

SUBSTANTIAL 1NCONIES What did your best cow earn for you last year? A seven-year-old grade in a herd near Oxford Mille, Ont. that milked from March 30, 1916. to Jan. 30, 1917, gave 303,91b, fat., which at 45 cents per pound equals the sub- stantial sum of $163,75.

Kennedy 1 New Motor Traffic Rules Various amendments have been made to the Ontario Motor Vehicles Act andnta io o the Highway Trav- el Act that are ofinterest to auto - =billets generally and the, purposeose of which should be carefully studied by all. In the Highway Travel Act, as amended at the recent session, a new rule is made with regard to the right of -way at cross roads. Title rule ap- plies to all vehicles, whether horse- drawn or motor driven. Where ve- hicles meet at cross-roads or at cross-, streets, the driver must give ,the •Ve- hicle, claming towards his right the right of'way. This dYstem has been adopted in many of the neighbouring states, and when all motor drivers understand ib and follow it, it is of great advantage for the driver, instead of having to watch for traffic on both his left and right aides at crossings, find it neces- sary to• watch only the crossing ahead of him and to his right. It will still be necessary however, to accept the ruling of the traffic cop at oornera where such °films are on duty. }t• Wroxeter Girls Are Patriotic The Young Ladles 1'tecruiting Leag• ue Wroxeter intend giving a Y".
