SEAFORitt, Friday, Ma.yllth, 1917 - --- THE WAR SITUATION. The past week has seen some of the most bitter fighting since the struggle comraenced. Espeeially is this so with regard to the Canadian troops, who, during the past' five days, have been 'holding the most advanced salient in the British line, at the little village devoting their *fie in Red. Cross pur- pos,, we wish We could shour ap-i of Fresnoy. Here for days they have ow: predation a httle more than by just ' held the Ihie so bravely won by them saying "Thank You but we are not I against a tornado of shell fire, gas, tust in that position to do so.

The CGerniikluetrat- anadians would MANLEY ed song at The Strind ursitatight. the lists are available. We have this consolation, however, that the Ger- man casualties will be many thous- ands heavier than ours, because to every counterattack made by our troops the enemy made at least ten, , and partly consolidated as the Cana- dian positions were at the start, the Canadians were in a great measure prepared to meet these attacks and te inflict a terrible toll of German lives. Nowhere on the Western front have any branch of the Allied service car- ried themselves with a coolness, a nourage, or a- dash, as have our own Canadian boys, who since the great offensive commenced a month ago; been made a name for themselves, that will live while the world lasts. The British and French troopswho have been making alternate attacks on the enemy, during the Week seem to have joined hands in a combined effort. This pounding has resulted not only in very substantial ground gains, but what is 'better, in every case they have been able to hold these gains a- gainst every savage endeavor of the Germans to retake the positions. Coun- ter attacks to no end have been launch- ed against the Allies by picked Ger- man troops, who seem to have no lack of reserves t and who sacrifice thein - selves by the thousands in each vain endeavor. The Gentians, in these at- tacks, outnumbered the Allies in men, but not in guns and gunnery, and although if has been proven time and time again that human flesh, no mat- ter how brave, can not stand up a- gainst guns, still the Germans came on until their colossal lossses exhausted them. Fifty thousand prisoners were captured during the past couple of weeks, and as 'it has been estimated that five were killed or wounded for every one taken, the total casualties of the Germans, on this part of the western front alone, must have reach- ed fn the neighborhood of 250,000 men, and how colossal these figures are can be better appreciated when it is real- ized that it totals more than the Cana- dian trdops now fighting in France. The movement inaugurated in the United States, by ex -President Roose- velt to raise a volunteer force for ser •vice in France seems to be a most popular one on the other side of the border. It is stated that he has already recruited 187,000 men, which is three tiraes as many men as the United States Geyer/intent has been able to get up to date. There is every reason to hope that the Admiralty have at last solved the U-boat problem, as a substantial de- • crease in the number of boats sunk is reported during the week; in fact the number of losses reported is expected to be the smallest in the past month. There is no guarantee of course, that ZURICH. Death of Mr. Schroeder.-Anothe• of the pioneers of this section passed away at his hbme here (m Saturday morning of last week in her 78th year. Mr. Schroeder had risen that morning as usual and after being up a short time, he returned to bed. His wife looked in the room afterwards and found that he had passed peactfally • away, heart failure being the cause of death. Deceased was well known in this community. Some years ago he gave up his farm ow the Bronson Line and with his family moved to Zurich where he has since resided. He was a member of the Ev church and by his exemplary Christian life won a warm place in the respect of all who knew him. A widow and a rumber of sons and daughters survive him.

Presbytery of Huron. -A largely attended meeting of the Presbytery of Huron was held in Carmel Church on Tuesday, May 8th, the • chief item of interest being the resignation of Rev. E. F McL.

C.

The ses- sion appeared in a body and Mr. R.J. 'Drysdale, senior elder and for many years treasurer of the congregation, gave expression in a very feeling man- ner to the warm love and tympathy existing between Mr. Smith and his congregation. He made reference to the sorrow felt at the severance of the pastoral tie but not in that alone would Mr. Smith be missed, for the deep interest he took in civic matters and every movement for moral uplift and national service rendered his re- moval a serious loss to the sommunity He referred also to the manse family, (-very member of which had displayed • an untiring 'Zeal and earnestness for the furthering of the •work of the church. •The members of the Presby- tery who had labored with Mr. Smith during these years also gave expres- sion to their high esteem and very sin- cere regreat at the sundering of the tie which had meant so much to all concerned, referring to the able man- ner in which as treasurer, he had con- ducted the financial affairs of thE Presbytery, giving to that body an ease and confidence in its- proceedings which could not otherwise have been attained.

SEAFORitt, Friday, Ma.yllth, 1917 - --- THE WAR SITUATION. The past week has seen some of the most bitter fighting since the struggle comraenced. Espeeially is this so with regard to the Canadian troops, who, during the past' five days, have been 'holding the most advanced salient in the British line, at the little village devoting their *fie in Red. Cross pur- pos,, we wish We could shour ap-i of Fresnoy.

The CGerniikluetrat- anadians would MANLEY ed song at The Strind ursitatight. the lists are available. We have this consolation, however, that the Ger- man casualties will be many thous- ands heavier than ours, because to every counterattack made by our troops the enemy made at least ten, , and partly consolidated as the Cana- dian positions were at the start, the Canadians were in a great measure prepared to meet these attacks and te inflict a terrible toll of German lives. Nowhere on the Western front have any branch of the Allied service car- ried themselves with a coolness, a nourage, or a- dash, as have our own Canadian boys, who since the great offensive commenced a month ago; been made a name for themselves, that will live while the world lasts. The British and French troopswho have been making alternate attacks on the enemy, during the Week seem to have joined hands in a combined effort. This pounding has resulted not only in very substantial ground gains, but what is 'better, in every case they have been able to hold these gains a- gainst every savage endeavor of the Germans to retake the positions. Coun- ter attacks to no end have been launch- ed against the Allies by picked Ger- man troops, who seem to have no lack of reserves t and who sacrifice thein - selves by the thousands in each vain endeavor. The Gentians, in these at- tacks, outnumbered the Allies in men, but not in guns and gunnery, and although if has been proven time and time again that human flesh, no mat- ter how brave, can not stand up a- gainst guns, still the Germans came on until their colossal lossses exhausted them. Fifty thousand prisoners were captured during the past couple of weeks, and as 'it has been estimated that five were killed or wounded for every one taken, the total casualties of the Germans, on this part of the western front alone, must have reach- ed fn the neighborhood of 250,000 men, and how colossal these figures are can be better appreciated when it is real- ized that it totals more than the Cana- dian trdops now fighting in France. The movement inaugurated in the United States, by ex -President Roose- velt to raise a volunteer force for ser •vice in France seems to be a most popular one on the other side of the border. It is stated that he has already recruited 187,000 men, which is three tiraes as many men as the United States Geyer/intent has been able to get up to date. There is every reason to hope that the Admiralty have at last solved the U-boat problem, as a substantial de- • crease in the number of boats sunk is reported during the week; in fact the number of losses reported is expected to be the smallest in the past month. There is no guarantee of course, that ZURICH. Death of Mr. Schroeder.-Anothe• of the pioneers of this section passed away at his hbme here (m Saturday morning of last week in her 78th year. Mr. Schroeder had risen that morning as usual and after being up a short time, he returned to bed. His wife looked in the room afterwards and found that he had passed peactfally • away, heart failure being the cause of death. Deceased was well known in this community. Some years ago he gave up his farm ow the Bronson Line and with his family moved to Zurich where he has since resided. He was a member of the Ev church and by his exemplary Christian life won a warm place in the respect of all who knew him. A widow and a rumber of sons and daughters survive him.
