TUESDAY.
Succouring tho Soldier Through Life
And in tho Hour of Death.
"'The bravest of all were tbe chap-
lains, who stuck by the side of the
boys even when the Lighting was
most furious,"
The above words were spoken In a -
London hospital tbe other day by a
wounded soldier who }lad left an arra
behind him, and they no doubt re-
present the general opinion or our
Townies at the Front at the 'present
moment.
During the "piping times of peace''
—now, alas! seemingly so far distant
—Army chaplains used to be called
"sky -pilots." Since the war broke
out he bas come to be christened by
common consent the "padre," and his
true worth is fully recognized by the
men to whom he ministers,
They are of all classes and creeds,
these brave, quiet men in plain
khaki, distiuguishable from the com-
batant officers only by their black
shoulder -knots and the cross on their
service caps.
The very first padre to be killed in
the war was the Roman Catholic
chaplain of the Dublin Fusiliers.
Tremendous is the influence for
good, by the way, that is wielded by
these Roman Catholic priests, com-
parable only with that exercised by
the Presbyterian chaplains of the
Highland regiments; for, when all
else fails, they need only threaten to
"post" a man's acme on the chapel
or kirk door in his native village in
order to induce the most hardened
r.offender• to amend his ways.
Threats are seldom needed; how-
ever, and still less seldom used, the
average chaplain, of whatever de-
nomination, preferring to rely on
moral suasion. He is an adept, too,
at winning Tommy's confidence, .and
incidentally his gratitude.
He is frequently quite as good at
singing a comic song as he is at in-
toning a psalm—each, of course, in
its proper place. He is the unofficial
letter -writer home, and the adviser -
in -chief as regards all private and
domestic affairs.
In a single week a Church of Eng-
land chaplain confessed to have
penned above three hundred love -let-
tere for men unable, through stress
of wounds, work, or worry, to write
themselves. Another padre actually
wrote in a week six thousand post-
cards for as many different men!
For the most part, the chaplains
do their work outside the limelight,
but occasionally they are accorded
official recognition of a sort. For in-
stance, there was the case of the Rev.
E. G. F. Macpherson, the senior
Church of England chaplain, men-
tioned by name in one of Sir John
French's despatches.
He it was who officiated at the ob-
sequies of General ' Hamilton, the
commander of the Third Division,
who was killed in action at Ypres.
The funeral was at dead of night, the.
only light being that from the elec-
tric flash -lamp used ,by. Mr. Macpher-
son to read the words Of the burial
service. Even this, 'however, was
sufficient to draw the fire of the ever -
watchful enemy, and rifle -bullets and
shrapnel spattered and sputtered all
round. Fortunately nobody was hit,
and General Smith-Dorrien remark-
ed, as he quitted the graveside: "A
true soldier's funeral, padre. We
couldn't fire a volley, but the enemy
have given him the last salute for
us."
About 400 wounded Canadians left

WAR TO END THIS WINTER.
So Says General Creagh in Discus -
kion of Situation.
LONDON, Sept. 12.—General Sir
O'Moore Creagh, formerly Command-
er-in-Cchief in. India, writing in The
Weekly Dispatch on "Why the war
will end this winter," says:
"Recent events on all theatres of
war have been uniformly successful
for the Allies. The Austro -German
armies have everywhere received se-
vere blows, while their allies are in kt
precarious state. The Central Al-
liance has been defeated, not crush-
ed. Tbe only acceptable finish car,
be their complete crushing, so as t•r
prevent further mischief.
• "It is' therefore necessary to make
the German nation realize the hope-
less situation before complete sur-
render will be brought about. Al-
ready the morale of the nation is af-
fected. The Germans no longer talk
of annexing their neighbors' proper•
ty. Their general staff bulletins are
tilled witb bigger lies than ever.
These stimulants are required to
keep up the people's spirits.
"I am of the opiuio ntbat the war
will not last over winter. Napoleon
said: 'In. war mora.! power is to the
physical power as tbree to one.' We
have the advantage of both moxas
and physical power."
¢Vegroes to Go to France.

Louis Botha, Premier of the South

tr send 10,000 natives to France fol`
dock labor. The natives will be re-
cruited voluntarily and will be organ-
ized into five battalions of 2,000
men each, under military discipline,
with trusted officers.

•TIIUx 4si AY, sEPTEroom z4th, Islam"
Curse of Mongoose on Island.
Jamaica is among the countries
which have learned that man cannot
with impunity interfere with the
balance of nature. To keep down the
rats, which,,did so much mischief in
the sugar cane fields, the mongoose
was imported in 1872.
He thrived and did what was ex-
pected of him with regard to the
rats. But he then passed on to the
snakes, lizards, small birds, turtle
eggs, domestic poultry and their
eggs, and ground provisions, until it
became at least doubtful whether he
had Got done more harm than good.
And the scale in favor of harm was
decidedly tipped by the portentous
increase in ticks, which had previous-
ly been kept within bounds by some
of the creatures which the mongoose
set himself to slay.
Two Kitchener Stories.
Lord Kitchener's rule in India was
marked by one of Ms most salient
characteristics—the habit of com-
mitting as little as possible to paper.
To give an order by word of mouth
he would wire to a general to travel
a two days' journey to see him. When
he arrived, ten minutes' conversa-
tion, a curt farewell, and the dreaded
interview was over. Thus did he suc-
cessfully circumvent the constant
spying around him.
The famous soldier did not encour-
age autograph seekers. Heis said to
have made the following reply to one
request for his signature: "Young
man, make your own autograph
worth something; mine's worth no-
thing."
British Troops Have Been in
Hand -to -Hand Conflict.
Enemy Attempts
a Bombardment,
ent
,
but His Guns Are Quickly SU-
emced—British Have Consolidat-
ed Positions Captured on Satur-
day -and Sunday, -Allied Yeorces:
Are Shelling Combles From Three
Sides.
LONDON, Sept. 1L—The British
engaged in fierce hand -to -band fight -
tug about Ginchy on the northern
bank of the Somme, when the Ger-
mans counter -attacked them, accord-
ing to the despatcbes from Sir Dou-
glas Haig last night, Four officers
and 101 men were taken prisoner by
the British in repulsing these at-
tacks. The total number of prison-
ers taken since the last report was
made exceeds 200.
North of the bluff the British
trenches were threatened with a
bombardment by German trench
mortars, but the British artiIleay and
trench mortars were trained on the
enemy and speedily silenced his
guns,
Excepting for the continuous bom-
bardment of heavy guns, yesterday
passed without incident south of
the Ancre, the Germans dropping
tbeir counter-attacks, and the Brit-
ish troops completed the consolida-
tion of the positions which they cap-
tured Saturday and Sunday.
Combles is now under fire from
three sides, by the British From the
north-west and west, and by the
French from the south-west. Its fall
is now believed to be a matter of a
few days.
Winding up a week of incessant
hammering of the German lines in
the initial phases of wbieb, last Sun-
day, part of Ginchy and the whole of
Guillemont were taken by storm, the
British Saturday attacked on a front
of 6,000 yards, between High Wood
and Leuze Wwod. As a result, they
completed the capture of Ginchy and
took all of the ground between the
village and Leuze Wood. Further-
more, they pushed their lines for-
ward 300 yards on a front of 500
yards east of High Wood.
Simultaneously successfully crush-
ing in the northern tip of the salient
formed by the Somme drive, the Brit-
ish gained an additional 600 yards to
the north-east of Pozieres. The head-
quarters statement issued Sunday
night tells of heavy casualties suffer-
ed by the Germans, particularly
while massing for a counter-attack
during the British action near Poe-
ieres, the Teutons being caught by
the British artillery fire.
The French forces on the Somme
contented themselves with minor ac-
tions Sunday. They captured some
German trenches east of Belloy-en-
Santerre, south-west of Barleux,
taking 30 prisoners, and earl1ier in
the day took a small wood east of
this village, and made farther pro-
gress east of Deniecourt. Including
Sunday's captures, the French have
taken more than 8,000 prisoners
since last Sunday.
At every vital point of the Somme
battle line the Germans Sunday
launched counter-attacks of frantic
bitterness. Everywhere their at-
tempts to regain the ground lost
since the resumption of the Allies'
big push a week ago Sunday broke
down with severe losses, according to
the French and British official re-
ports. They were unable to wrest
from the Entente troops an inch of
the lost terrain.
Only at one point between Belfoy-
en-Santerre and Barleux, did the Ger-
mans
ermans make as much as a temporary
gain. They were immediately driven
out of the trench in which they bad
won a foothold, by a vigorous French
counter-attack. The short-lived suc-
cess was scored, according to the
French communique, with the aid of
jets of liquid fire.
The British have taken 350 pris-
oners during the last 24 hours. They
repulsed a violent counter-attack
north-east of Pozieres and another
north of Ginchy. In reviewing the
week's advance, the afternoon state-
ment issued at headquarters says the
British since last Sunday have push-
ed their front forward 6,000 yards to
a depth varying between 300 and
3,000 yards., The important points
netted by the seven days' advance are
the Falfemont farm, Leuze Wood,
and the villages of Guillemont and
Ginchy.
Philip Gibbs, telegraphing to The
London Daily Telegraph, states that
of the German garrison of 2,000 at
Guillemont hardly one escaped. All
were dead, wounded, or prisoners.
Two battalions were wiped out.
One British sergeant, hit in the
hip by a shell, captured four with-
out help, and ordered them to
carry him on a stretcher to the dress-
ing station. He arrived smoking a
cigarette, with his prisoners as
stretcher-bearers.
A Brave Rescue.
The story of a plucky rescue by
two Canadian soldiers was told at an
inquest $'ecently at Folkestone, Eng.
James Andrews and Herbert Graham,
both members of a machine gun unit
from Hamilton, Ont., were rowing off
shore when a boat capsized nearby,
throwing its six occupants into the
water. At great risk. the Canadians
took three of the six into their boat,
although the craft was very light.. A
local boat inspector testified that it
was wonderful that any of the party
reached land and the jury expressed
appreciation of the prompt help
given by the Canadians.

GREECE MAKING BARGAIN?
Important Conference Under Way
With Entente Allies.
LONDON, Sept. 12.—Great im-
portance is attached in despatches of
Saturday to Reuter and the Ex-
change Telegraph Company to the
conference at Athens between the
Entente Ministers and Premier
Zaimis. •
The Greek Premier seemingly
made no definite statement regarding
the Greek Government's intentions,
but sounded the diplomatic represen-
tatives regarding the feelings of their
Governments in the event of Greece's
departure from neutrality. The Min-
isters replied that they welcomed
proposals from the Greek Govern-
ment, which they would submit to
their own Governments.
Premier Zaimis bad a lengthy : in-
terview with King Constantine on
Saturday, and it is supposed that the
sittings have been adjourned pending
telegraphic advices from the Entente
capitals.
A large detachment of Greek ma-
rines, the dospatehes say, has been
brought to Athens to help the police

They Make a Try.
Here's Dr. Wiley, food expert,
Who says it is no fable
That women where we thought they shone
Are neither strong nor able.
He says they do not understand
The mystic art of cooking,
But we forgive them much in that
Since they are so good looking.
The French, he says, can beat them out
In juggling with the skillet
And fooling round the frying pan
When they have things to fill it.
Oh, dear, but ignoranoe was bliss!
It gave us satisfaction,
Before we heard how much they lacked,
To see them get in action.
Well, doctor, maybe that was so
Where you last week were calling.
There are some places where the food
They serve is quite appalling,
But there are other places where—
Ye gods and little fishes!—
It makes your stomach doubly glad
To see them spread the dishes.
It makes a difference where you go.
Stop In some rural places
Where canned goods are not on the bill
And watch them feed their faces.
Your fiat raised lady may be shy
On baking, broiling, stewing,
But in the wayside places yet •
You'll find great homemade chewing. ;
