Bank To Be Closed
The Crediton branch , Of the, Cana-
dian Bank of Commerce, which was
opened in March, 1908, is to be closed
down at the end -of this year It was
;first decided to close the branch on
the 19th, but at the request of the
StePhen council, the bads will remain
open until the •31st December. • The
dosing of the branch is part of a plan
to reduce the number of banks oper-
ating throughout the Dominion; this
action being necessary as a war mea-
surse, owing to the scarcity of help
and the -necessity Of cutting down ex-
penses, The Closing of the bat* will

village who is quite well off as things
go here, being possessed of six hors-

sheep and a couple of pigs. 'the old

The mast unlovely type of veteran
was that of the "old soldier," the na-

enough to become expert in his pecu-

ed pervous prostration to 'three serge-
ants, two sergeant -majors and half a,
dozen lieutenants. Yet he was clever
enough to avoid any serious punish-
ment. His major transferred him to
the ,Y.M.C.A. and, no doubt congratu-
lated himself on a good riddance, But
our friend soon was dissatisfied Wit4
the Y.M.C.A. by reason of its non,
cornbatancy .and wanted to be -closer
to the enemy when action was at
hand. He worked hie way back -to
brigade headquarters and here some
unusually discerning -Officer made
him a runner and required him to do
nothing but deliver messages. Other-
wise he pleased himself and abstain-
ed from parades and inspections.
Thus he .won his war against' the
authorities and prosecuted that
against' the Germans.
In the llth Battery we had only
One instance 'of a wound thought to
be self-inflicted. After one' of our
battles nentan. on picket duty at the
horse liaes reported wounded in the
foot and went down the line. By a
later report, 4e lost the foot, ampu-
tated for poisoning. No one had no-
ticed shelling within a quarter -mile of
the horse lines that ntgbt, and so
supicions arose. The occurrence, if
such, was unique as we have said.
