A despatch from London says: After several days of comparative in- activity along the battle front, in Pi- early, bitter fighting has been resum- ed along the western seetor of Ibe sa- lient in the lines of the Entente allies. Attaeles by the Germans against the British and French .are admitted to have yielded some Baine to the invad- ers in the critical sectors just to the east of the city of Amiens, In the neighborhood of 1-Tamel, the British were forced back slightly. _ A despatch from Canadian Head- quarters in France says; For 40 min- utes on Wednesday night our light and heavy guns poured shells into the enemy front communication lines, as- sembly areas, etc., but no hostile at- tack developed, The situation con- tinues quiet along the Vimy-Arras front. Numerous daring day and night reconnaissances have been car- ried out by our patrols, with repeat- ed clashes with hostile parties.

The Food Board's order definitely loyally to maintain this increased output." INTRODUCING TOMMdi ATKINS. Some of His Characteristics Hewn, - by Famous Writer, Ian Hay. At the present moment we are right back at rest once more, and are being treated with a consideration amount- ing almost to indulgence, which con- vinces us that we are being "fattened up"—to employ the gruesome but ex- pressive phraseology of the moment— or some particularly strenuous enter- prise .in the near future, writes Ian Hay from France before the great drive. Well, we are ready. And, above all, victory is in the air. We are going into our next fight with new-born con- fidence in the powers behind us; and it is this very faculty—philosophic trust, coupled with absolute lack of imagination—which makes the Brit- ish soldier the most invincible person in the world. The Frenchman is in- spired to glorious deeds by his great spirit' and passionate love of his own limits the quantities of produce which sacred soil. The German fights,•as he a dealer may own, or have in storage thinks, like a machine. But the Brit- ish Tommy wins through owing to his entire indifference to the pros and cons of the tactical situation. Put the average Tommy into a Trench under fire, How does he com- port • himself?

This Series entitled "Modern Methods of sounds a sensible proceeding, but here Packing Apples," become of prime im- portance. These notes run: 1.

An ounce of comfort is worth apples can be properly and conveni- antly packed in the standard Canadian apple box. 8, Successful packing can only be done with apples of a uniform size lit" each box. There is no possibility of using an apple larger than the size being packed, and then attempting to straighten the row by using a small apple next to it. 4. Cleanliness cannot be too strong- ly insisted upon every feature of boxpacking. Fingermarks upon boxes, or careless rubbing in.of moisture and dust, are all too common. The most scrupulous attention should be given to the fruit and ail specimens reject- ed that are not absolutely free from contamination of any sort.. 5. Should there be any dust or spray material upon the apples when picked, it is much easier to take it off at that time, If the apples are allow- ed to stand,thoy acquire a certainain gumminess that renders it difficult to make them look clean. 6.

A British Tommy regards himself as completely protected from the assaults of his enemies if he can lay3 a sheet of corrugated iron roofing across his bit of trench and' sit underneath it. At any rate, it keeps the rain off, and a pound of security. He looks about him. The parapet here requires fresh sandbags; there the trench needs punnping out. Does he fill sandbags or pump of his own volition? Not at all. Unless re-. morsely supervised, he will devote the rest of the morning to inventing and chalking up a title for his new dug- out—"Jock's Lodge," or "Burns' Cot- tage," or "Cyclists' Best"—supple- mented. by a cautionary notice, such as. ---"No admittance. -This Means yen." Thereafter, with shells whistling over .his head, he will decorate the parapet in his immediate vicinity with picture-postcarcls and cigarette photo- graphs. Then he leans back with a happy sigh. His work is done. His home from home is furnished: He is now at leisure to think about "they Gai1•mans" again.

I found myself at Chalons. "It was the month of February, 1915. For fifteen days the weather had been stormy, so that we could not fly. The nights, however, were superb, Lieutenant Mouehard, commanding the V. B. 101, was desperate over the situation, and finally the idea came to him thpt since it was not possible to fly during the day he would try 10 by night. "To do this it was necessary to light his way up and to provide, alight spot for a safe landing place. He placed three great cans of gasolene in differ- ent parts of the field. These he light- ed for three nights in succession. He did this in safety without having con- fided a word to his superior officer. His conclusions were that one could make night raids in comparative safe- ty. The result of these experiments he then confided to his -chief command- ant, de Goyas. "'Good!' said his commandant 'We'll try an experiment to -morrow night if the weather is fine.' A New Adventure. "The next night when we were all assembled at table we laughed and talked of the new adventure—night raiding in the wake of Mouchard. "Eight o'clock struck. The night was as clear as the day. Mouchard said, Terre, come with me.' .The Commandant de Giiyas gave the call to the escadrille. Tho tanks were or- dered to be lighted and all started for the aviation field. "While Lieutenant Mouchard made his preparations a friend of his, Cap- tain le Clerk, envious that Mouchard should make the first night trip, wish- ed to go up for a trial himself. He did so. Coming clown in safety, after five minutes, he said to Mouchard, 'It isn't at all flne above. There's a fog and I advise you not to go up!' "'So Much the worse for me,' said Mouchard; 'I can't bring out all these people for,nothing.' "At this moment the commandant came over and asked if he were ready. Mouchard beckoned to his observer, Maillart. They cranked the motor. At night, unaccustomed as we were in those days to night raids and flights, the machine seemed something from the inferno with its noise and sparks. The motor ran well and they ascended, wings outstretched, and they disap- peared into the night. "Before leaving it had been arrang- ed that Mouchard should signal his re- turn With a little lamp, From time to time, above, one saw the blinking light that was his signal and followed with anxious eye and ear the manoeuvring far above the clouds. "Five minutes had hardly passed, when the weather began to show it- neln as described by Captain le Clerk. The moon hid itself behind mountains of clouds and little by little flakes of snow began to fall. The Supreme Sacrifice. "We could no longer see any spark of light from the machine and could hear only occasional muffled sounds. .o chard could weres • M We toe that u no longer distinguish our beacons burning,on the aviation field nor the ground they lighted up. The sounds in the air became fainter. It seemed evident that the motor was going far- ther and farther afield, lost in the sea of clouds. "A chill came over our company. `J had a foreboding that I should never again see Lieutenant Mouchard, We no longer heard the rumble of the mo- tor. "Suddenly weobserved at a distance of perhaps. -fifteen kilometres what looked to. be a shooting star, It ap proaoloed the earth and almost instant- , ly a flame lighted up for an instant the whole horizon. "In horror I said to the commandant, 'It is Mouehard, who has lost control of his machine. "We called fol automobiles and rushed at once to the -point on *' ground below the flaming star. We arrived, but we were not the first. Al- ready others had reached the spot. General Bauel, gpmmander of an army corps, was among those• who had seen the fall of the machine. He had got- ten there in time to help remove the bodies of our friends from the debris of their avion. "We stood in n circle around the ad- venturous dead. I have rarely attend- ed so moving a scene—this brave conn - rade, so beloved by all, one of the first to go, a sacrifice to 'this experiment of bombardment by night." Air Raid Sips.
