The vessel he was on was tor- pedoed, and he tells part of the story in the following letter •to his father, the Rev, Walter Rigsby; "Dear Dad. -I have just reach barracks, not much the worse for wea No doubt you have heard by now fru Larne that I came near swimming tl last lap et the Journey, 1 lost everythit but •a Sued name and the love of m friends. It is a strange position to b in, I can assure you ; but it is not s bad as it sounds, for my total monetar loss was only a little over $500, whi had It been reversed I would have bee poor indeed. As it is, i am ever s happy, and don't feel the pinch at a yet, for I am wealthy compared wit those who haven't such friends as have. God has been specially good t me, and when 1 pray now it is not formrnality, as it sometimes become when one is not thinking. Ile is s much to me I hardly know what should do to prove my sincerity, "You got my cable, no doubt, tell ing of my safe arrival. It was a brigh spring morning -the first day I eve reit what a blessing life really is, thougl 1 was stiff and sore to a degree 1 neve before knew; yet my heart was full o joy and gladness. The women of Larn worked hard all night and the follow ing day taking care of us all, but lour especially those who were wounded They were kindness itself, and simply could not do enough. I could not tel you all they did. It was everythin you could do for your own boy if h were shipwrecked at your own door it brings tears to my eyes as 1 writ of it all, Strange to say, my nerve were forgotten, and when 1 came t realize it all the affair has done nt more good than harm. Would the more people could experience such day and night as we went through It seemed to bring out of me more good than one could ever have thought. "We all went to church in a little old warehouse by the sea, draped with flags from some of the trawlers. There was no form of service to speak of, though the Church of England clergy- man presided. We were there to thank God once again for our marvellous de- liverance from a watery grave, and to ask for comfort for the sorrowing, Many older men shed tears, while there was hardly a face but the welling well - drops could be seen. It required no thought to praise God as we should. Strange to say, the hymn that was running through my mind waren pull- ing away from the ship was "God moves in a mysterious way His won- ders to perform" It was one of the hymns sung. Never did the old dox- ology sound as soul -inspiring either. " To come back to Larne, my soul can never think of it but as a new birthplace. During the day 'I met some delightful folk. I have always thought well of the North of Ireland people, but I must say they are quite beyond my praise. We were billeted at two large hotels. How the V, A, D., nurses worked to serve us food, or bandage a slit face, or arm, or foot. They were entirely indefatigable. They were angels. When thanking a lady for her kindness to us boys she said, "That's tvhat the Americans,said." NO doubt the Yankee boys (nave tel excellent opinion of the North of Ireland people f they fell into as goods hands as we did, 'i needn't have changed ships if 1 tad known beforehand. The experience wits well worth all 1 shall ever know - more than it cost me. I can now ee more than I could the relative value if little things, and great feeling of God's protecting care thrown about ny and preserving my life. Some day may be called to lay mine down, but s t feel now it is His, not mine, so hent shall feel that I am but restor- ng what I have in trust.

Major Shaw Back to Clinton Major J. W. Shaw, AI. D., late medi- cal officer of the 101st Battalion, ar- rived home after spending thirty months in the army and a year and at half oe snore in England. He looks well and appeared very much at••home, as be sat in his accus- tomed chair in his own office. "Oar, yes," he said, in answer to a question as to whether Ire was getting to feel at home, "I'll soon get into the hang of things again." When the -11th Division was broken up in February most of the men of Huron Battalion were sent to France in drafts, most of the younger officers going along. They vers used to rein- force the 1st, the 18th and 47th, all Ontario Battalions. The latter was originally a .British Columbia bat- talion but is now made up almost en- tirely of. Ontario men and it was into it that; most of the TOlst men were drafted. The men and officers re- maining were sent to the 8th Cana- dian Reserve, Bramshott camp. When Major Shaw left England all the junior officers remaining of the 101st were :-Lieuts. McLean, Scott, Frank Cluff and .Irnox Mair. '•But they may be in France by this time," added Mttjor Shaw- "The 101st Battalion was a fine one" eernarked the Major; t°there teas none better. Oaptaiu McKinnon, our. Ohaplain, one of the finest men it has ever been any privilege to meet, and who will visit Clinton, I hope before long, often remarked what a fine bunch of men they were, clean living, intelligent and worthy in every re- spect. It was very seldom, indeed, that one of the Hurons ever got into any trouble." Among the reinfopcements which filled up the ranks of the Ielst from time to time there were about 50 In- dians from Latnbton county and there were no better soldier and no better behaved or more self-respecting men in the battalion than they. "I can't speak for all Indians" said Alajor Shaw, "but if they're all like that sample, they're all right." Asked about conditions in England Major Shaw said that rationing was strictly enforced there. One of the most pleasing sights when I ate ived in Oanada, ane remarked, '%vats the nice white bread. The breatd we htd in England was dark and coarse and often dry. ft is made of cern, rye and wheat and though wholesome enough, in the absence of plenty of fats, it is at little hard on one and is apt to cause skin trouble." The allowance of meat for an in- dividual for a week would not be MOM OHM one gnocl steak. A man will sometimes eat it all at one meal and then do without the rest of the week. Those who are engaged in hard, manual labor are allowed at some-. .whattarget.portion.

The idea was taken up with enthus- iasm by a number of the Hurons. Studies broken off at the time of en- listment were taken up again and real progress was made. Out of a class nl S in Latin, 7 were 101st men!. There was much done to amuse the met) unci while that was considered all 1 ight Chaplain McKinnon thought some In- struction could also be imparted. The Canadian soldier has won the respect of everybody, especially of II e British officer. An English effiee•, at nobleman and a lifelong soldier who has been accustomed to manage men all his life, told a party of Canadian officers, Major Shaw included, that they "did not realize what fine soldiets the Canadian boys were," Speaking of the varied stories etr- cnlatedin Oanada regal ding drinking among the soldiers Mttjor Shaw said, that in the year and a half he was in England there were just 7 cases of "drunk" brought before hire and one was a second nffellee, and he as medical officer of the Battalion had to examine all such cases. He said he could only speak for the one Battalion but that it was remarkably free frmn dismcle'liness of any kind, It eeetaimly is cheering news to hear from the Huron boys overseas that they are doing such honor to the homes front which they e went L and a the training of the parents who utvait so anxious) suet prayerfully their eetnru from the field of trife. Major Shaw could have accepted a post in England, but, as he said, it was not to remain in England he went over and its he could not go on to France when the Battalion was broken up he preferred to return to Canada. GO SLOW, YOUNG MAN THE average autoist who takes the view that he has many rights, and means to stick out for Blain, is a menace on the public thor- oughfares, S, because e 'IS apt to become o me todart n )n thenterests of public safety it is necessary that motorists should at all times exercise reasoable precaution and make a point of observing the rules of the road. Of course, pedestrians are not free train any responsibility with regard to street accidents. They, too, must re- member that by thinking of "safety first" they cat) avoid many near and real accidents. Butn he D main a n factor in avoiding ac- cidents on the road is the careful driver. The auto driver who realizes his or her individual responsibility to avert accidents rarely has one. It is invariably the reckless drivers, who act as road hags, that cause trouble. Auto dwuer5 sitoujd exercise fucre0* in); care and vigilance for with the rapid addition to the ranks of the gaso- line car owners the liability of acci- dents increases and the importance oft avoiding tiiem multiplies.
