Lastwin- ter I was attacked with a severe case of organic weakness. I had backache, pains in my hips and over my kidneys, headache, dizziness, lassitude, had no energy, limbs ached and I was always tired. I was hardly able to do my housework. I had taken Lydia E.

Vst FROM THE TRAINING CAM.' Following letter received by a Bros- seliLe gives a hint ae to the war :— DEAR FRIEND.—Your letter of July 23rd just reached me and was very weloine indeed I can assure you, it al- ways helps to keep away the "blues" to receive a nice, cheery letter from "God's country" as we affectionately call our Canada. Our final touches to nearly a year's tiresome training are nearly com- plete and we expect to leave for some fighting line within four weeks atld we will be very glad indeed as the "watchful waiting" of camp life is very hard on discipline, particularly when the men have joined to fight not to live in camp for months. You would be surprised to know of the strong under -current of feeling here in England in regard to the seri- ousness of our position in the struggle just now. Everyone now appreciates the fact that while we must win. eventually still it will be at the cost of many more lives. It is a thing that is far from pleasant to think of but personally I feel that by going over and dying, our Empire and its free- dom will be assured in any way I can tell you right now that it would be a small thing for me to do. When one hears at first hand of the atrocities which are still being per- pretrated, it is no wonder that the, Canadian slogan now is "No prison- er's." Some of our wounded boys are with us now and have evidence of some awful things which never reach the papers and it only serves to in- crease of course our determination to make the Germans repay. We were treated to a very fine zeppelin raid the night before last and while we were all taking pot shots at the zepp they simply ignored us and went on to a town about 3 miles from here and promptly bombed it killing 7 men, 8 women and one child, all civi- lians, A fine specimen of culture in- deed. We had the satisfaction of seeing quite plainly a great air battle in which two of our aeroplanes took puts and crippled the zepp at first and then filially destroyed it. It was weh'd and wonderful to see the battle in the glare of huge search lights. I suppose some of these nights we shall be treated to a personal visit ourselves. Now I must close with best wishes and kind regards. lour sincere friend, GEORGE. East Snuffling, Kent England, Newcastle, on -the -Tyne, England Following letter is from a grandson of Donald and Mre. McQuarrle, Queen street, Brussels :— DBMS FRIENDS.—I believe Beatrice wrote and told you that I was coming to England, I have been going to write you before but have delayed till now. Well Newcastle is some town and the biggest shipyards in the woted are on the Tyne river. I am working for A'Instrong & Whitworth. They build battleships almost exclusively. The "Oauada" just left the yard to go nn her speed trials last Friday. She le the largest battleship afloat and is a present from the Canadian Govern- ment to the British Navy, There are tout other war vessels under construc- tion at the Walker shipyard, where I stn working, One is larger and more 4powerful than the "Canada", two are light cruisers and the fourth is a ... tie ! ✓ Costs a little more than the "other kind" of flour, but worth it in the quantity and quality of bread you bake from " ITV F -Mor Bre d 1 nd Befrt T' Br a4i" monitor of a new type, entirely dif- ferent from any other Ohl in the Navy, She will carry four 18 Inch guns and will have 1L speed of 40 knots au hour, I have a good job in the filling shop and I tun getting lots of experience quite different from railroad work. All around here are the seeps of zep- pelin raids, About 4 weeks before I came here there was a raid at Palmer's shipyard and one bomb dropped into the umbilici chop and killed 15 mac- hinists. About 60 people were killed altogether, the newspapers said 20 killed but they are not allowed to print the `acts. Hull was raided not far from here where they did a lot of damage. I don't know how long I am going to stay in this country but guess it will be till next June anyway or as long as the war lasts. This country is no credit to a civili- ed power, I have never seen so much poverty and misery in ail my life as I have in the last few weeks, largely through drink. Children running a- abont the streets without enough clothes to hide their skin, women 8.8 well as then, drunk and rolling on the street and times ate supposed to be good now. I would hate to see them in 11141(1 times. The oval age man here don't seem to knots there is any place in the world but Newcastle, I don't forget to tell them what I think of their country, We are not far from Edinburgh here and we are going up there for a week end and to Blair Athol as 1 want to see the place my ancestors cause from. My friends and myself maygo to London and work for a time before we return. I am enclosing a postcard photo of the river Tyne at Newcasele. It is not much wider than the Maitland but deep enough to float battleships. 110Y W. MCQ7IARRIE, Newcastle -on -Pyne, England. Newsy Notes from the front How Canadian engineers have made thefrunt of the Belgian trenches prac- tically impregnable to shells, high ex- plosives and German assaults by means of concrete and other devices which were invented on the spot to meet the ueed was told by Capt. H. Wellwood, of the Canadian Overseas Railway Construction corps, on his arrival by the Allan lines Corsican at Montreal. Capt. Wellwood was up to March last, chief engineer on the L. E. & N. Railway for the C. P. R., he having been a resident of Brantford for a year. He has returned to get drafts for the original corps of 550 which left that city. Captain Well - wood lives in Kingston in times of peace. Another great achievement of the Canadian engineers ie a railroad line which runs just behind the front line trench throughout its extent. On this with its rails of two feet gauge a seven -foot gasoline engine draws cars which stand above the rails only three and a half feet. Iu the night trains run along the track bearing food, munitions and everything needed in the trenches. When a German flare lights up the countryside the train becomes immoveable. so that the cars and the engine cannot be seen. The engine is painted the sante color as the ground, so that there is little chance of it being seen. In one section the Canadians built a railway line five miles long behind a trench. The en- gineers have been even more exposed than the men in the trenches while working behind the trench at this time, but their work has been at night and happily the casualties bane been few. The work has been intensely interesting and the engineering mind has been called upon to devise on the spot counter defences against German offensive. They have been so success- ful that during the great offensive launched by the British and Ften0h in the plush for Lens recently the Belgian trenches at this point received a etmi- lar drenching from high explosives and survived it. BASES FOR MACHINE GUNS A large part of the work of this corps has been in making concrete bases for machine guns in the front trenches- The machine guns have reeled on their bases since this work was done, with a thick hood composed of concrete strongly reinforced with steel to protect the manipulator from shells. These machine guns cover every possible avenue of approach by the Germane and every confidence is telt in the trenches. At the time of the British -Franco drive, but the only re - 01111 WES to strew the ground in front of their trenches with dead and wound- ed. They had been raining many high explosives and shells on the trenches at this point for two days before the final attack came. No one could go unshaken through such an experience, but at the critical moment the en rallied their forces for the defence, The trench itself, with e It rte concrete defences and its ratnpatts of boulders and loose earth to protect the concrete from the high explosives was intact. Dating this experience many of the engineers had narrow escapee. One engineer Was sitting on a barrel talk- ing to 2 Belgians when she exploding— smashed the barrel on which he was Bitting without injuring the engineer in any way. Snob escapes were fre- quent, but good fortune had attended the Canadian Railway construction corps in all their operations shine their arrival at the front on June 28th last.
