WITH THE CANADIANS
trap set to salvage a couple of stret-
cherbearers? Personally, 1 thought
it was the latter and was confident
that there was at least one guy in
our line they wouldn't catch so easy.
At frequent intervals he set up a
howler but it wasn't until after four
in the morning that any person at- I
tempted to go out and investigate.
One of the Corpls. from our com-
pany passed the word down the line
that we should be careful about snip-
ing as he was going out to "see what
was doing." It was just breaking day
when he returned with a slightly dam-
aged German officer, who was elft, 3
inches tall, rather good looking with
an iron cross dangling on his left
breast and a couple of gold rings show-
ing through the dirt on his hands, He
was acquainted with the usual pro-
cedure of Canadian troops and their
prisoners for without waiting orders
he began to dispose of his personal
effects. A tine gold watch and part
of his roll of bills to the Corp. who
brought him ina pair of binoculars to
the officer, etc., etc. The part that
amused me was that after he had "set-
tled" with all those connected he still
had a roll of bills fully an inch high,
which he placed carefully in his pocket
book and returned to his pocket. He
spoke English without trace of foreign
:recent and told us that for eight years
prior to the war he had been in Lon-
don.
The early morning of August 1 ith
wits. very foggy, so operations were
practically at a standstill. We were
a tired bunch of boys and rumor
didn't help any when it whispered
of a further push. During the day
we had two men to a post and the
remanded could snatch some sleep,
ubt our platoon strength was . so low
that even this didn't allow for,, much
rest. We had one fellow, Johnston
from Brandon, who was so exhaust-
ed that during his tour on sentry
duty his knees would go forward with
a start .every few minutes and waken
hint up. He was actually sleeping as
he stood.
Shortly before noon the battalion
on our right sent over a message to
the effect that some of the enemy
were in a destroyed tank some dis-
tance behind our line. The com-
pany nearest to it investigated and
found that a machine gun crew were
established in it and were using our
guns that had been abandoned with
it. A few minutes after our artill-
ery were notified they ceased to
trouble us, but I couldn't think of
then other than as soldiers, because
they could have surrendered any
time and Made Blighty uninjured,
Incidently the other crew was dis-
covered In the village and niet a
similar fate. The remainder of the
day was comparatively quiet but the
diligent watch for a counter-attack
is almost as great a strain as the ac-
tion itself. According to the old 'a-
dage "If you look for the devil he
is sure to appear." This was no ex-
ception. Ile carne right over the
top at dusk but too far to the right
for our company. Our guns cover-
ed the area over which he was com-
ing and about two minutes tiring
was sufficient to persuade lino that
there was a clearer road in the op-
posite direction. Ile didn't try that
stunt again. but we kept a watchful
eye on the front again that night.
Here our part in the Amiens bat-
tle ended. The rumor of a relief
that night was welcomed. We had
all been in equipment for Live days
and during the last foto' days and
nights malty of us had taken no
sleep. The strain was beginning to
tell. What would we have given for
a wash and a good place to sleep.
At midnight the advance regiment
found their way to our position and
were soon ready to make a relief. By
daylight the remnants of our unit
were finding their way back through
the long communication trench, the
piles of ruin and the streets of brick
on either side we would see no more.
It represented the once fair village of
c•tptured by the —th batta-
lion August the 10th. The price was
slightly under four hundred of Can-
ada's best, fifty of whom are buried
in a newly started cemetery on • the
old battle ground to the west of the
village.
Headquarters were well pleased
with our drive and success, so we
were told. Perhaps Canada thought
it was a splendid day's work but my
sympathy went out to the four hun-
dred mothers who would shortly re-
ceive an intimation from Otttawa
with the government's regrets. ht
the eyes of the military they have
taken no part in the war and yet, on
them, has rested the greatest strain
of all. They are among the few of
whom we, have no word of a strike.
Hostilities are nearing a close. We
have reason to rejoice, but let us re-
member that the 'mothers of Canada
and other Allied countries have paid
the price.

Wedding Bells
The Brussels Post reports the wed-
ding of a nephew of Mrs. A. Stephen-
son and Mrs. P. Plunisteel, of town:—
A very pretty wedding was s.ileninized
at the home of Alex. and Mrs. Leitch,
Wednesday, January 29th, when their
youngest daughter, Eva Marie, was uni-
ted in marriage to Victor S. Sperling,
son of Mrs. George Sperling, Brussels,
At 12 o'clock to the strains of the Bri-
dal Chorus from Lohengrin, played by
the bride's sister, Mrs. Wm. Ziegler,
the bride entered the parlor leaning
on the arm of her father and took
her place beside the groom. Rev. T.
E. Kennedy performed the ceremony.
Bride looked charming in a gown of
blue chiffon velvet braided in grey and
carried a shower. boquet of Ophelia
roses. After congratulations the im-
mediate relatives sat down to a dainty
wedding dinner, the fable being cen-
tred with the bride's cake and decor-
ated with pink sweet peas and sprays
of fern, Pink and white tulips and
hyacinths were used to decorate the
hong: The grooms gift to the pianist
was a piece of Community silver. 'Phe
bride was the recipient of many hand-
some and useful gifts. _Amid showers
of confetti and good wishes Mr. and
Mrs. Sparling left for their hone,
(Riverview .Farm,) the bride wearing
a green satin dress with fringe trim-
mings and broadcaded Salter fur coat,
(with natural lynx furs, being the
gift of the grown) and a jaunty blue
velvet hat with bead ornaments, May
their joys be many.

The winterseason is a hard one
on the baby. He is more or less
confined to stuffy, badly ventilated
rooms. It is so often stormy that the
mother does not get hint out in the
fresh air as often as she should. He
catches colds which rack his little
system; his stomach and bowels get'
out of order and he becomes peevish
and cross. To guard against this the
another should keep a box of Baby's
Own Tablets in the house. 'They reg-
ulate the stomach and bowels and
break up colds. They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25

with Valentine and Patriotic decoration

County Made Settlement '
(Blyth Standard The committee
appointed by the County Council to
investigate the approach to the bridge
on the Hullelt—East Wawanosh bound-
ary west, Where Reeve N. A. Taylor
met his death by his auto overturn-
ing, on the night of Nov. 11th last,
completed their task on Tuesday of
last week and have made a settle-
ment with Mrs, 'Taylor in the sun of
$1000, she having had a claim before
the County Council at its last session.
The committee is to be commended on
their decision for had it been other-
wise, much litigation would have
followed with the possibility that the
county may have had to pay many
thousand dollars more, as it was
generally acknowledged that the road
at this particular point was not the
width prescribed by law, being only a
10 foot approach to a 14 foot bridge.
Reeve James Cutt, of Blyth, took up
the matter in behalf of, Mrs. Taylor
when the question of damages was
presented by Barrister Brydone, of
Clinton, who urged settlement without
resource to law should the committee's
finding show the county liable, thus
much expense for both parties is a- Piano
