THE WAR SUATION
Te news from the seat of war since
the Allies took the offensive in July
has all been good, but nothing in the
four tong years of the war has given
such cause for rejoicing as the work
of the Allied soldiers and especially
the Canadians, during the pest week.
The Canadians who have- been very
eoiaspicuoue in the fightiug of the
pest three weeks crowned all their
efforts on Monday, when twilit the
help of some English troops they
lauxich,e.d an attack smith of the
Scarp& River, which • broke in two the
vitally important Waton Line, ivhich
ie the northern anchor of the famous
Hindenburg line. . Here for the the
previous three days the Germans had
made desperate but unsuccessful ef-
forts to eject the British frem their
positions so threateningly and advan-
tageously near their famous defen-
sive system. It was on the Waton
• Line that the 'German command, was
depending to hold the .Allied armies
off from Cambria_ and the vital rail-
way supply lines, which that city con-
trols. Nothing they could do; howev-
er, could stop the Canadians, and
• their advance broke into the German
positions back on this line on a two
'ale front The achievement of the
Canadians in going through the Ger-
man defences that stopped the whole
power of the British last year is one
of the greatest in the war. The best
troops, the Gentians could. gather were
put in to hold this vital poiet. Tier
upon tier of machine une, were
mounted on the risingtercourt , and our
boya were subjected to heav artillery
fire and counter-attack ate counter-
attack, but with stubborn vigor the
Canadians wedged theinselyee for-
ward, until. the Ave rotes of trenches
with all their defensive implements
were carried and held. Far reach -
hag results will undoubtedly follow
• this wonderful work. If the Allied
gains can be held the Hindenburg line
with its northern end -will be complete-
• ly outflanked, and any farther suc-
cess in the direction of Cambria
• would 'threaten the entire German
line in the west from the North. Sea
to Rheims and even beyond. It is
claimed that the Canadian casualties
in this offensive did not equal the
prisoners taken, bet a heavy toll of
-young Canadian lives must have been
takea. The Canadian troops ca.Ptured
6000 prisoners on Labor Day, the op-
ening -day of their offensive.
At other points on the Western
front the British, French and Ameri-
cans are continuing without a pause,
their offensive againat the eGrmans,
whb all along the battlefront are giv-
ing ground, although at many points
they are making a- strong resistance.
Great areas of territory which have
long been held by the enemy have
been reetored,many thousands of pris-
oners have been taken and the thous-
ands of enemy dead lying upon the
battlefield . testify to the intmen e
losses he hasustained. A report e r
ly in the week that the city of Le s,
ie
s
s
the great coal centre of France had
been captured, had not been confirmed
up to Wednesday, but the Allies are
in ki
the outerts of the city and its fall
-le only a matter of hour. Lens has
been held continuously by bite Ger-
mans since the war began, and its
capture, when it does come, will mean
much to France and also to Canada,
as it was at Lens and the battle
grounds eurrounding it and on Hill
79 that so many Canadian by lost
their lives last year. Undoubtedly
the coal mines in Lens and its suburbs
have been flooded by the Germans and
their shafts destreyed and burned,
•- but these are ret beyond repair and
will sneedily he restored, when once
the Allies' gain Lontrol of. the city.
Ite, capture mean e the enti of hardship
for hundrede of theueande of French
feettilie4 who duriree the peat winter
have been unable te obtain sufficient
• fuel. an i will be a eoereeponding loss
to !he enemy. I
An official. anneu,ncement states
that in the couree of their offensive
from July 15th to August 31st, the
artniea of the Allies have taken 128,-
‘;'ff'?, prisoners including 2,674 officers
aaid have captured 2.668 guns, 1,734
mine throwers, la,783 machine guns
and a oonsiderable quantity of muni-
tions, Stti/plic. ilt'd ;materials of all
kinds. On the French front 75,900
prisoners.' and 7a0 guns have been
eantured by the French since July'.
It ia too much yet. to say that peace
le in sie-ht. but the Germans are un-
doubtedly, or the homeward march,
end ttrir %%lit has been very consid-
erah,y aceeterated during -the past

t ---Bert Leach, the young son of .Mr.
and Mrs. J. H. Leach, of Goderich,
had an experience on Wednesday last,
'which he will not want to repeat.
While playing with another boy near
his home op Toronto street he climbed
a telephone pole and when he got to
the height of the electric light wire
he reached over to one of the lines
to steady himself. The result was an
electric shock, and he found he could
not pull his hand away. His cries
quickly brought a crowd of neighbors
and passersby, and Mr. Harry Black
climbed the telephone pole, but could
not -rescue the boy until . word- was
sent to the powerhouse by telephone
and the current was shut off. A doc-
tor was summoned, but the 'boy was
found to have suffered very little. It
will be some time, however, before he
will allow himself to be tied up in an
aerial perch. .

party which had been arrange iby the

able evening was the result. RAT..

-The Lucknow Sentinel of last
week says: _ "Away back in 1858,
Thomas McQueen published a report
on the County of Huron, arid it is of
much interest now to look over this
report and note what was said of the
different parts. Here, for example.
is what Mr. McQueen had to say of
the now wealthy township of Ash-
field: Ashfield, a kind of triangular
figurelies on the lake shore, north of
Colborne, and extends to the boundary
of the county of Bruce. It is the
poorest township in the -county, both
in soil and settlement: The land is
rough and swampy and much broken
by glens and gullies. A stream- call-
ed the Ashfield -River, runs through
it and affords considerable mill privi-
lege, which to some extent, has been
taken advantage of by the erection of
small mills. It • has several 'other
etreares and abundant water power,
het little use for it. In 1844 it con-
tained 266 inhabitants arid 228 aeres,
,or lass than an acre a piece, were
:under cultivation. In 1850, the pop-
ulation had risen to 682 and 1094 acres
were cultivated, and accoraing to the
last census the population was 907 and
the cultivated acres 980, or a little
over an acre a piece. The produce
of 1851 was 3171 bushels of wheat,
2450 bushels of oats, 551 bushels of
peas and potatoes, turnipsand maple
sugar in proportion. The Goderich
and Saugeeneroad passes through the
length of the township, .and was, till
lately, all but impassable, through the
labor of the settlers it is improving
and being, one of the leading roads of
the county, is likely to come in for a
share of the gravel, The other roads
of Ashfield are not good and as a
large tract of the north end of the
township fell into the hands Of specu-
lators, and is still a wilderness, local
imprevements are not likely to make'
much progress. The population is al-
aost entirely Irish Catholics and
Scetch Highlanders." +

- Our Correspondent's Visit 'to De-
troit -As Mr. Mellis last week, gave
an outline in The Expositor of what
he saw in the great churches of De-
troit, and as his letter was somewhat
lengthy, and as he did not wish to
press too hard on the toes of good
natured editor, Mr., McLean, might
jest say before, branciring out on other
sights and scenery.,of that great city,
would take this opportunity of sket-
ching a .few lines in reference IV the
manner in which they do things. The
First . Presbyterian Church of that
city is noted as being among the
larger churches, not only in point of
numbers, but also for its great ealilh.
This great structure is more easily ea .
to be imagined than described as to
the architectime both inside a d out., i
There are two 'pastors in this hurch. 1
Alt the termr churches have t o pas-

The .choir consists of the organi t and
