Air Raid en England
(Meet report t e. "Two groups of
enerny rriachlnes followed b others
fiving eingiy °reseed the tient and
Essex coast between 0,40 and 8 p.
they ensue towards Lundou." '
,h'totn the above report you find
little alarming information, but it
may bnterest readers to know Inst
What happens when enemy .air craft
cross the coast. I will try and depict
briefly the events of one evening of
the many that the Huns have visited
this country. The first warning in
the shape of shrill blasts tenni a huge
men, round me in a cramp. Here the
alarm is aleo taken up by the buglers.
Among the troops there is little com-
motion. When the droning of the en-
gines of the air craft from Hunland is
beard overhead, the boys naturally
stiok close to cover and take no
chances and up to the present time
Pettey has little succese in destroying
the morale of the fighting men in
Britain. About two hours later I was
leisurely strolling about a South-
east Coast town, when again tbrougb
the evening air came discordant notes.
of the syren. At the time the streets
were crowded, but It was surprising
with what rapidity the strewn of
humanity melted away. Naturally
thepopulation and the children
female PP
lose no time in seeking shelter and the
nervous strain is beginning to tell on
some. As there seethed little danger
of any visiting cards being sent from
the sky, I meandered along to the Mat -
skirts of the town. At a distance the
big guns were coughing out their
leaden hail, (Bang I goes the lights
the big horn is roaring again. We
had Fritz timed pretty well to -night,
most of the men surmising he would
be here about 7 p. m, and now it is
8.55.) The booming of the guns in all
directions reminded me of the few
lines in the old school reader ; "Can-
non to the right of them, cannon to
the left of them, volleyed and thund-
ered," After star -gazing a short time,
I caught the sound of the Gotha en-
gines, which have an entirely differ-
ent sound to our own, and suddenly
close by a big anti -ail' craft gun
coughed out its heavy load. Right
there yours truly ducked promptly
for the protecting ledges of a house,
and hung tight. What goes up menet
come down and it wasu't long before
the little lead pills that were sent after
the air pirates were pattering on the
house tops. Back and forth they
chased the Fritzies through the sky
and the enemy seemed bewildered, at
any rate he failed to unload any of his
dirty cargo. After continuous gun
firing for almost an hour, the machines
seemed to find an opening in the circle
of fire and headed homewards.
While the Hun may have wrecked
the nerves of some of the people here,
there are a great many who still look
on hie nefarious work with acorn.
On this particular evening, I noticed
many girls strolling along as uncon-
cerned as if nothing out of the ordin-
ary was happening, and one nervy
young lady buzzed along with her.
taxi, when the enemy machines
were circling about. At present,
there is a popular agitation thrnngh
England for reprisals and undoubted-
ly it will only he a short time before
the people of Germany will be given a
taste of their own medicine. One
official advocates that warning bs
sent the towns which it is intended to
bomb, so as to give the civil popula-
tion a chance to seek safety. There
are scores of towns and cities within
striking distance and you may possib-
ly hear shortly of a bundle of high ex-
plosives being dumped into these
places.
Composers of song have been re-
sponsible for many beautiful ditties on
the glories of the silvery Icon, but
they wouldn't make much of a hit
here to -day. If some genius could fly
up and hang abianket on the big shin-
ing orb, he would get about sixteen
decorations across his chest.

ELECTION DATE FIXED
ON 17th OF DECEMBER.
WEEKS OF CAMPAIGN WITH KEEN
FIGHT IN NEARLY EVERY RIDING
—SOLDIERS START VOTING ON
NOV. 26.
Ottawa, Oct, 3 t—The Canadian ele-
ctions are to be held December 17.
The Government fixed the date this
evening. Premier Borden having as-
sociated with him in the Government a
number of Opposition Liberals, an-
nounces his desire that traditional Lib-
eral and Conservative party lines be dis
regarded, and the election be run on
the issue of compulsory military ser-
vice as opposed to referendum on con.
scription.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier will lead the Lib-
eral opposition in the campaign, and
there is every indication that the con-
test
on -test will be keen in every province of
Canada and in nearly every riding.
The soldiers' vote is expected to
have a great influence upon the result.
The aplicatlon of conscription is
counted on to give Premier. Borden the
votes of relatives of soldiers at the
front, and the votes of such soldiers
as have not been turned against the
Government by personal grievances a-
rising from their military experience.
Nominations take place November,
t9. The soldiers overseas will begin to
vote about November 26 and continue
until the civil population of Canada i
votes December 17. i
The vote will not be counted im-
mediately in complete form, and the
result will not be finally known for
some days after the ballot boxes have
been closed If the vote is close the
result may not he known until the end
of January. `

LEVEL CROSSINGS . •
BEFORE RY. BOARD
Survey of all such spots in Province
Favored—Many Schemes Mooted
tlToronto, Oct. 25.—"The motorists"
realize that something should be done
to get better protection at level cross -
teal, tnd our brat recommendation 11
that a survey should be made of all the
level crossings In the province," de-
clared '1', N, Phelan, representing the
Ontario. Motor League, when the con-
sideration of methods of protection to
be adopted for the prevention of motor
accidents at railway level crossings
come up before the Donlillion Reail6'
way Board here today.
The minor recommendations made
by the motor league were as follows;
The erection of advertising signs at
or near crossing shottid be prohibit-
ed; that watclunan make use of "stop"
signs in place of flags In the daytime;
that where trains- are cut at crossings
not protected by gates or watchman,
responsibility should rest on the train
crew to protest "the crossing; that wig-
swagsignals are preferable to bells;
thagates should be painted in alternat-
ing black and white stripes instead of
one solid color; that the whistles on the
majority of trains do not give a warn-
ing sufficiently penetrating, and that a
continual safety educational campaign
is necessary to supplement physical
forms of protection,
Dealing with questions submitted by
the board as to elements of safety,
objection is taken by Mr. Phelan to the
introduction of 'hog -backs' in the road
speed of the car approaching a train
to compel motorists to reduce the
driver's attention so snuck that it
would be rather source of danger,
W, -A. MacLean, deputy minister of
Highways, spoke in favor of a survey
at level erossings would be to compel
the driver to stop at certain crossings
As designated before crossing, and to
provide certain warnings to show when
a level crossings is being approached.
The board will consider the sugges-
tions of the motor league, and -the rail-
way companies wili also submit sug-
gestions to the league from their view

What Will Canada's
Answer Be?
OVER in the sodden trenches amid the bursting
shells and the roar of artillery where Canada's
boys are fighting and dying.
—they are waiting for Canada's answer when th .
sale of Victory Bonds begins.
CANADA'S soldiers expect that
we at homewill putup the mil-
lions they need to keep on fighting,
—the millions they must have
to win Victory for freedom, home
and Canada.
What answer willCanada make?
What answer will you make?
Shall it be said that Canada
spares not her sons from the sacri-
fice of battle, yet withholds her
dollars to give them victory?
Rather will it be said that Can-
ada once more, for the fourth
time in three years, cheerfully
puts up her millions upon millions
for the cause of freedom, 'right-
eousness and justice,
Canada's answer must be,
—that the Canadian hand to
the plow of Victory holds stead-
fast and firm.
—that Canada is in deadly earnest
when she says the "last man and
the last dollar."
That is the answer Canada will
give to our boys in the• trenches,
our kinsmen in Britian, and our
Allies everywhere.
That is the answer we wilI give
to the Huns who thought and said
that Canada would desert the
Empire before she would fight or
pay.
Every bond you buy is an
answer. Let the millions of n-:-
swers from Canada's loyal nia.i
'and women make a chorus c.•,'
Victory to ring around the wort +.
