MAJoit HAL MCLEAN The town itself is quite old and is not much for beauty, but is situated on a hill and is the centre of a large gardening dis- trict which supplies the city of Brussels, eleven miles from here. The surrounding country is full of most interesting history for we are within a hours walk of the field of Waterloo, over which we marched on our way up here. The battlefield is a low lying country, a bit rolling. We pass- ed along the main road which runs from Charlcroe to Brussels and it was along -this road on a front of two miles that Wellington took up his battle position. The position was along a ridge which run' parralel with the road about twenty-five yards from same, Here there was a sim- lar road but this has been taken away, for it was here that the French made their ast stand and the earth was removed and made into a great mound which stands on he extreme right of the position, and it was from this point that Wellington di- ected.his enemy. On the top of this mound there is a large stone monument with a lion standing above it. This spot s known as the Lion of Waterloo. The own of Waterloo is distant two miles. Then there is a small town called Mont t. Jean back and on the corner which we assed stands the house in which Victor Hugo wrote "Les Miserables", and all his. c aracters are said to have been taken rom these towns about here. This morning our Colonel lectured all he officers and gave us notes on the attle of Waterloo, and later we are going ver all the ground and be shown the dis- osition of the two armies, it is most in- eresting. I am quite comfortable, have a lovely room in the home of the Cure. Then we ave our mess in large achateau, so Iex- ect to have quite a good time while we e Here.

MASON IS ACQUITTED Blyth Man Freed on Assault Charge by Judge Dickson, Y William Mason of BI th appeared be. fore Judge Dickson in Goderich on Friday last on a charge of assault alleged to have been committed on the twenty-first day of January upon William Nesbitt. It is alleged that Nesbitt had some grievance against Mason, and when in Mason's hotel bar on this day had some words with Mason, made the threat that he would murder Mason, and made a rush behind the bar for hien, Mason claimed that he just got over a sickness and was in no shape for a tus- sle, He grabbed a beer bottle and struck Nesbitt on the head. Nesbitt admitted in court that he had hit a yong man by. the name of Knox a couple of months ago, and cut him bad enough to require stitches. He also ad- mitted having a tussle with his father last fall, and that he has not been working at home since. He also admitted that he had been in quite a few scraps of the same nature lately and that he was some- what of a bully. Mason claimed that he struck Nesbitt with the bottle in self-defence, that he had no idea as to what Nesbitt would do when he got to him. He said he thought it necessary to do so in order to protect himself, Judge Dickson, in his address,said that he believed that Mason was perfectly justified in doing what he did when Nes- bitt closed the gap at the encs of the bar, thus cutting off Mason's chance of escape from Nesbitt He added that Mason, who had just got over an attack of influ- enza and pleural -pneumonia, was in no way a match for Nesbitt, and that Nes- bitt's past reputation for fighting and get- ting into mix-ups, and Mason's own weak- ened condition at the time, warranted him in doing what he did. Judge Dick- son acquitted Mason of the charge Friends Extend Sympathy Please find enclesed $3.00 for ADVANCE to July, 1919. We are always pleased to receive THE ADVANcu each week to get the old home news, We were very, very sorry indeed to read of J J.
