CANADIANS IN BATTLE.
Threes ,Ontario Battalions Engaged at
St Eloi.
OTTAWA, April 25.—Desperate
fighting on the St. Eloi salient, par-
ticipated in by three Ontario battal-
ions, the 21st Eastern, 19th Central,
and 18th Western, occurred during
the week April 11-18. The Canadian
general representative at the front
in his weekly communique tells of
battles under unprecedentedly diffi-
cult circumstances in which the Ca-
nadians held their ground and, in ad-
dition, occupied a portion of an
enemy trench. Many instances of in-
dividual heroism are recounted. The
communique follows:
Canadian General Headquarters in
France, via .London, April 23.—The
struggle for position in front of St.
Eloi was again the dominant interest
on the Canadian front. The still
weather of the previous week gave
way to high winds, brilliant sun-
shine to a sky overcast with clouds.
Occasional downpours of rain added
to the burden of a water-logged soil.
By day and night the German guns
pounded the narrow confines of the
St. Eloi salient, the volume of their
fire swelling every now and again
into bombardments of extraordinary
violence. Great shells tore fresh
holes in the already mutilated
ground, obliterating the landmarks
of previous ' explosions. Shrapnel
splashed over the fields. Bursting
gas shells poisoned the air and
fumes of Iacbryriatcry shells assailed
the eyes.
At night :unamerable German
flares illumanned the darkness, and
continuos . +:ams of bullets from
rifles and machine guns craebed
against our parapetsor swept over
them far into the country beyond.
In the face of such conditions our
men waged the fight, repelled enemy
attacks. dug trenches, and maintain-
ed their positions.
Under normal circumstances of
trencb warfare flee tussle for so nar-
row a strip as a few hundred yards
would have been quickly over. After
loss or capture the trench lines would
have been speedily readjusted and
new defences built. Observation and
reconnaissances would soon have re-
vealed the fresh dispositions of the
enemy.

we' struck a rest camp and were there

short talk on my trip from Toronto
and England. We left Toronto an
Nov. 20th and had a lovely trip across
the pond and wasn't sick a day. The
54th of B.C. came over with us and
we had a good time. We landed at
Plymouth Nov. 30th and left next day
at noon by train to Liphook landing
there about 10.30 p.m. and then we
had a walk o1 2 1-2 miles, nearly all
up hall, and believe me I was nearly
all in. We had very good huts `to
sleep in, about 45 to a but and'if it
had not been for the rain it would
have been great, but it rained every
day. except about seven days, up to
the day we left, and the mud around
was ankle dee .

Last Tuesday, Alex, we were taken
for a bath and a change of unierr
wear and imagine' our surprise when
we had to walk six miles.
We left at 7.30 a,m, and got back at

" GAIN or no gain the cause before the farmers of Canada is as clear as it was last
year—they must produce abundantly in order to meet the demands that may
be made, and I believe this to be especially true in regard to live stock, the world's
supply of which must be particularly affected in this vast struggle."—Fill hr.
MARTIN I'URRELL, Minister of Agriculture.
THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON REPORTS CONTAINED iN
".THE AGRICULTURAL WAR BOOK, 1916,” PUBLISHED BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF' AGRICULTURE, OTTAWA, ONT.
LIVE STOCK—The herds and flocks of Europe
have been'greatly reduced. When the war is over
there will be a great demand for breeding stock.
Canadian farmers should keep this in mind.
MEATS—In 1915 Great Britain imported 664,508
tons of beef, mutton and lamb, of which 364,245
tons came from without the Empire. Out of
430,420 tons of beef only 104,967 tons came from
within the Empire.
The demands of the Allies for frozen beef,
canned beef, bacon and hams will increase rather
than diminish. Orders are coming to Canada.
The decreasing tonnage space available will give
Canada an advantage if we have the supplies.
DAi RYI N G—Home consumption of milk, butter
and cheese has increased of late years. The war
demands for cheese have been unlimited, The
Canadian cheese exports from Montreal in 1915
were nearly $6,500,000 over 1914. Prices at
Montreal —Cheese : January 1915, 1514 to 17
cents ; January 1916, 1814 to 1SM cents.
Butter : January 1915, 24 to 2814 cents ;
January 1916, 32 to 33 cents.
EGGS—Canada produced $30,000,000 worth of
eggs in 1915 and helped out Great Britain in the
shortage. Shippers as well as producers have a
duty and an opportunity in holding a place iti
that market.
WRITE TO THE DOMINION DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND TO YOUR
PROVINCIAL DEPARTMENT FOR BULLETINS ON THESE SUBJECTS
Tens of thousands of Canada's food producers have enlisted and gone to the front, It is only fair to them
that their home work shall be kept up as far as possible, The Empire needs all the food that we can produce
in 1916.
