There is no news about going honro or any- where else. I will continue with my story, 1 am not just sure where I left oil' last Sunday but will take up the story about the early part of September. We had been in a place about 20 Miles from Nancy for 80 hours and could hear the distant 'booming of the grins up on the front. in the af- ternoon we received orders to move forward that night. AS , usual -it started to rain just a)iout the time we were ready to start which riich was about 8 p.m., as it was getting dark. That was a hard night's -war- ch. We started out in fine condition but in an hour's time we evertook an artillery regiment using the road. A sanitary train consists of between eight or nine hundred men, There are four Field hospital Companies and four Ambulance Companies and a headquarter's company. We are not considered as combat troops aucl ac - Logs Wanted AT BAYFIELD We are prepared to pay the highest cash prices for ALL KINDS' OF LOGS, delivered in our yard or standing in the bush.

The reason wan. the lnulunerablo stops Made by the artillery, whose speed of moVemefit is always much less than foot troops in the dark. 1t rained almost continuously 011 night and the roads wore very muddy. Dur- ing the halts there was 110 •place to rest except in. the rand or the wet ground at the WO of the road so wo used our steel . halinots as stools, I Carried agent forty pounds and the• filen agent sixty including the extra weight of the packs being wet, Dur- ing one of 'tire halts a man sat on the edge of a bank near mo, 1•l0 must have become drowsy for sud- denly his pack over -balanced frim, and lie rolled down fifteen fent and wedged in between two • trees which prevented him from rolling into the canal at the foot of the hank. It took three men to dislodge titin and get lith on the road again,8 Sucli little incidents help us to forget our 'weariness: Whenever ,wo march- ed it wasn darkness and usually Y raining. The men are not .allowed to sing whistle or talk loud so there is very little to take your mind off your tired feet and back. Well we slogged along all night until eight o'clock next morning. About 3 a. 10, We entered a large forest and.march- ed up a long hill, About dawn we could bogie to see the flash of ar- tillery, the sound growing louder all the while and we thought wo were going to a war all right. We made camp Li the forest about eight a.m. and the men lost no time in putting up their pup tents and rolling into their blankets.. The officers baggage trucks did not arrive until that night so we just sat around the wet woods all day building very small fires in order not to attract attention from Hostile aircraft. It appears that we were to be held in reserve is those woods for the St. Mlhlel scrap. We were. there nearly a week and I went into Nancy ane day and slept lit a regular bed for a change. The ar- tillery barrage was very severe most of the time and at night tate Ger- man airplanes tried to find us. Then we loaded on a motor truck train several miles long and rode from 3 o'clock p.m. until 9 p.m. next day and billeted in a dirty little village for two or three days, Then we moved up front by truck into an- other forest. Another all night ride counting the time the roads wore blocked. This wits up past Verdun and prior to the Argonne fight of the Americans. When we got into this wood shells were whistling overhead every few minutes. I bars been ap- pointed divisional medical gas of- ficer and was very busy getting equipment together in anticipation of the corning battle. My station was to be at the triage or advanced dressing station. On the evening of Sept. 25th tate company commanders and staff officers, including myself, were called to a meeting ,and battle orders wereread. Rwere told the coming offensive would finish the war. All the dangers are not on the battlefield as 1 had impressed on me that night. For instance : there is some danger in moving an outfit in three. or four ton trucks by night without lights over a slippery road through a forest. We got loaded up by nine o'clock. The truck I was riding in had about live mixups. First we ran to the very edge of a steep bank at a sharp curve hi the road. The driver couldn't see anis neither could 1 or anyone else. If wo had rim over we certainly would have been killed as the huge truck was away overloaded and would have fallen on us. Second, we got off the road twice, Third, while go- ing down a steep slippery hill we skidded and in a second we slowed cornpletely around and were headed up the hill again. 1 sent a man back to the cross roads to stop the next truck well back out of the n'ay and we had to improvise wheel chains out of towing cables to go back up the hill to the cross roads to get turned around again. The next time wet ran off the road and into a tele- phone post. We luckily had not tar to go—about eight miles and finally got on good roads and hurried over them as they had been 'under shell fire that day, About midnight or twelve -thirty we reached an old quarry which was our destination for the night. We were practically safe from shell fire there, as the shells sailed over head a littl.e later on, and burst ht some fields, In the last letter: I wrote to Helen I told about staying in this quarry and leaving next morning to set up our dressing station. I saw three observation balloons (American) set on Ore, two that day and one the next day„, The two were throe or four kilometers to our rear and the other quite close in front, 'Wo set up our tents in a pasture, field ill grass knee-high, One day's business converted it into a sea of mud within and without the tents. I had at least four pounds of mud on each foot for three days and hadn't time to scrape it oft', In my next will tell you about t letter I moving my outfit forward about tete miles and about the retreat I had to make:losing my bed roll, etc. Ile the Meantime my very host love to all. I will write to mother tomer- mow. Your affectionate son, —ROY. Herbert Aries stated to the Sir fana i Club that there was still a pressing need for money to carry on the country's business. 13.t.

Call a general convention, appoint a committee to name the scalp of pay, establish the minimum and maxi- mum wage, and, If necessary, em- ploy an experienced general organiz- er to whip this union into shape. The next step would be to, establish federations In other provinces where they iso not now exist, with the idea of amalgamating these various fed- crations into one concrete govern- ment body. What unionism has done for other workers it can do for the teacher. In the average fair-sized Ontario country town, women teachers, in 1913, were paid on the average of $500 per amwtn. Between that year and 1918, a general increase, of around $35 per annual. was granted, or seven per cent., whereas _ living expenses between these two periods increased many times seven per cent. Another noteworthy, point is that previous experience appears to count for little so far as regards teaching in the country districts and smaller centres. In Stratford, Ont., for instance, the scale of pay for experienced teachers Is only $50 more per annum than that offered for teachers without experience. And, still another absurdity is the small margin between minimum arida maximum pay, which rarely exceeds $ 100 per annum. In commercial lite, expericnee is what a (firm or corporation pays for. In dollars and cents an employee may easily' double his or her cash value to the em- ployer in a comparatively short time. apparently, those who employ teachers do not appreciate that ex- perience counts, 'there is obviously just one thing for teachers to do.
