Sacrificed Own Life to Save His Wilde Brigade. An equal heroism inspires all ranks of the French army, from pri- vate tei general. In the mathema- tical native of things, of course, more privates than generals show theanselvee.heroea All the more reason then to remark the following act Of heroism on the part of a gen- eral of beigade, .This general had emieived orders from the highest quarters to advance his men along O certain road which was swept by She enemy's fire. Obedience to these orders would mean the prated - cal annihilation of his brigade, and the general knew it. HOW was he to reconcile tbe ne- cessary respect for authority with the desire to spare a fruitless waste of life? He could obey blindly, or wilfully disobey -'-that to the ordi- nary man.would have been the ter- rible alternative. But our general had a Frenchman's keen jud.gement as well as a soldier's heroism. He fonnd a middle and a noble way. In spite of his staff's restraining ad- vice, he insisted on advancing hino sell alone through the zone of. fire.. "11 I 'win through unacsillied," he said, "my brigade can follow. If not, my orders are that they remain where they are."' He advaneed and fell riddled with bullets. He had saved honor and his brigade, • SEND MAIL BY ARROWS. Germans Confiseate ImPlemelles 'Used to Avoid Their Censorship.

IN FORWARDING MAIL. Many Letters Intended for Soldiers Abroad are Insufficiently Prepaid. It is found that a number of let- tere, post -cards, pa,ekets and other articles of mail addressed for de- livery in England, and on the Conti - neve, more, particularly for mem- bers of the expeditionary force, are received at the General Post -office insufficiently prepaid. Mail matter addressed to Ca,na- dian soldiers in France or else- where on the Continent must be fully prepaid at the usual postal union rates, which for letters. es five cents for the first; ounce, and three cents for each additional ounce. In eases where the senders of letters or newspapers or other articles of mail matter do not know whether the addressee is in England or abroad, the only wayin whieh they pan be sure of it being fully pre- paid is to pay the postal union rata on it. This is for the reason that -it is impossible to collect any sur- charges placed on an item of mail matter from -Om addressee if On MC- tive service. All insufficiently prepaid letters, post-earels and paokees addressed to the British expeditionary force serving on the Continent will be returned to the senders. As to the rate of postage for par- cels addreesed to the soldiers now at Saliebury Plains, or in adive service, enquiry should be made the General Post -office or one of the postal stations.
