Wheeler's barn, north of the Wingham cemetery, was burned to the ground. The tneu were working in the bush arid Mrs. Wheeler had gond to the 'field to bring in a couple of cattle which had hasp de- horne.i at noon, but on being unable to find one of therm she went back to the bush to get the assistance of the men. When they returned out of tbo bush, they saw their barn in flamee. They can come to no other belief than it is the work of some firebug. Although the barn wasinsured, , the amount of the insurauce will not nearly cover Mr, Wheeler's lose. By hard work the horses and some of the cattle were saved from the fire but ono calf, nine lee anda few hem; all the ,s g, phay, grain, implements etc. were destroyed.

Shorncliffe, Noy. 12th„ 1016 Dear Friencl:-,- Sorry 1 was unable to cable you as promised but 1 could not get a chance to do so. I guess you have been won. during where we are, ' We had pretty good weather crossing over, it was a bit rough one day, I felt a bit sick the second day. We were innoculated the Arta fi a day on the boat, there was a lot of seasickness I never saw anything like it in my life some of the boys stayed In bed nearly all the time, and the officers were. just as sick. It was a great sight ora good many to see on reaching Liverpool the Ferry beats crossing the water carrying horses and carts. We were well guarded corning over, we were never left, you would be surprised at the precautions taken, wo had enough life boats to accommodate every man, we each had a life belt we either had to wear them or carry them. It show' how efficient the British are everything was done so secretly the sailors did not know where we were to Iand and even the captain of the boat did not know until he received orders while on the ocean. When we reached Liverpool we bad to wait some time. We travelled on the train at night so could not see where we were going as the train windows are dark- ened, the blinds and windows only being raised at the station, they have notioee up in the trains warning people not to talk about Naval or Military matters on the train, as there is a pen- alty inflicted for allowing a light to show from the train. We reached the Camp about 4 30 a. m. this morning they gave us corned beef, bread and butter, At present we are in tents the barna as we were at Borden although the majority are in huts, and we ex- pect to be moved into huts soon,»as they are building more,.in the huts we have cote to Bleep on. This is surelyla big Camp we have plenty of hot water to wash .our clothes, there are large copper boilers full of hot water and also large wash tubs. We are about half an hour's walk from Shorncliffe and 8 miles run from Folkestone. The weather is fine like Spring. 1 could hear the Church bells ringing this morning, and you can imagine how nice it was to hear the birds singing. We have a splendid Y. M. C. A. here, also a Salvation Army. I had my dinner at the Salvation Army as we had our breakfast at 5 o'clock and dinner was not going to be served until late as we haven't got things quite straightened up. We get things cheaper here, ld for a cup of tea, and cakesa penny each, things that are 5 cents in Canada are one pence here although things aredearer than they used to be. Cigarettes are dearer than they used to be but yet not as dear as in Canada, Tho English people are very patriot. ic, We were greeted with rousing good cheers when we got to Liverpool, that was the only place we saw any people, except at Crew, where the train stopped. The people yelled "Are we downhearted?", and they answered "No". They take every precaution; when we arrived at camp, the sentry pointed a bayonet at our effacers, who were in front, and yelled "Halt" and the guard turned out and in second all with fixed bayonets, You never saw anyone come to a dead stop as quickly as those officers it was one on the Canadians that time. They are all prepared for air raids too. the large houses and bulidings have aircraft guns iuougted ou the roofs. I am expecting to go on leave soon. I don't think this will be cen- sored, let me know if it is. 1 forgot to say we carue na over on the White Star Liner Lapland. I guess this is all for this time, So long, A. J. They teed The Money As a sequel to the Formosa Church fire we understand that the Mildmay Fire Dept is demanding $1,000 as re- numeration for their help on that etc. c ►cion, and decline to accept an offer of $500 from the people of Formosa parish. Formosa people are naturally grateful for the service which the Mildmay brigade performed in saving their church and are not deposed to haggle Over the matter but it is doubt- ful if they will consent to pay so high or a good turn which one Might reason ably expect froma good neighbour. The suggestion made by the Mildmay s brigade i Haat each theInoue. of four anon companies Involved put up $200 and the parish $200, But as the ince. ante cotnpanie, are not legally obliged to t'enumorate the fire fighters they Will not stand for anything unreason.

W, hill at once discovered evidence that a thief had visited the place during the night. The cash till had been opened and a quantity of small change, "shin plasters" and a collection of odd coins taken away. The safe (which was not locked) bad been gone through, 'tobacco, cigars, candies, biscuits and cheese had been taken A pane removed from the rear of the store showed how the thief had come. Ho didn't get much. About three dollars in cash, and other articles to the value of five or six dollars, Mr. Hill regrets most the lose of hie odd coins, which he had been laying aside for years and which he pried much above there face value. On Monday morning it chan ced that Constable Cameron was going to Wingham by train. At thu railway station he caw a rather slight lad of apparently 10 or 17 buying a ticket for London, In paying for the ticket he displayed a rather curious assortment of coins and 25e bills. Asked if that was all the money be had, the lad re- plied that he had about $3() in the bank. On the way to Winghamt the boy eat in front of Constable Camer- on, and for a time busied himself counting bis coins and small bills, Ou arriving home at noon Cameron was told that he was wanted at Hill's store; that there had been a robbery. The boy with the collection of small coins and bills was at once recalled, and on going to the store the constable was able to describe to Mr. hill some of the things that were missing; and he added: '•I think I know where they are." The police at London were communi- cated with and asked to look for a lad with black stocking. grey suit, red sweater and a peaked cap. These points Constable• Cameron had auto- matically noted in the car, though he then bad no suspicion of a crime. About five o'clock Monday evening a detective entered the G.T.R. station at London, and seeing a lad with a grey suit and red sweater on one of the seats, he sat down beside him. "Well, wy boy," said the detective, "Where have you come from?" To this came a very saucy reply, and the sleuth was told it was none of hie busi- nees. "Come along with me to the Police Station and I'll chow you whether its any of my business or not,". said the detective, as an iron hand took the boy by the should-er. Constable Cameron was notified of the arrest and oa Tuesday morning went to London, returning by the late train with young Edmund Noyse in custody. On the way • up the young fellow talked freely, admitting that it was he who had been in Hill's etore. Ile said that his home was at Brock- ville, where he had lived with his grandparents. To the constable he said that he had served time in the In- dustrial School at Toronto for theft. He had worked during the summer with Mr. John McKinnon of Kinloss, having been allowed out from the School without completing his time. It appears that on Sunday McKinnon had induced the lad to drawee with a view to attending R. C. church service at Holyrood. Instead of going to church he came to town and remained about the hotel until nearly 12 o'clock at night, when he went around to the hack of Hill's store, secured a ladder, climbed to the window and went ih. He then went to the stable, Before Magistrate Graham on Wed- nesday morning the lad said he was le years of age (he previously told Cam eron that he was seventeen), that he didn't have supper on Sunday and be- ing hungry he broke into the store to get something to eat. He wrote out a list of the things he had stolen, On a charge of housebreaking and theft he was sent up for trial to Walkerton. —Lucknow Sentinel.

According to the letter, Lieut, Me Kay and his brother aviator engaged 12 planes.

Capt. leoelke, de" strayer of 40 allied aeroplanes and personal favourite of the German Em- peror and Field -Marshal Von Hinden- burg and the idol of the German Ecu pire, was in one of these and he and the other enemy aviator were hurled to their deaths far below, Lieut. Molaay, according to the let- ter, was warmly congratulated by Gen. Sir Douglas Haig for his feat and is said to be in line for a.. handsome decoration. A few days before ac- cording to the letter which says that "Eddie McKay is getting more fam- ous here every day he went up with four other aviatore and beat oft' an attack by 20 German aeroplanes, 1+'or this McKay and hie comrades wore congratulated in orders." Official British and German dis• patches told of the death of Captain Boelke but it was not previously known that it was a Brussel', let alone a Canadian aviator who was one of the two who sent him to his death. J3ieKay was a student at Western University London when be enlisted ia? the Royal Flying Corps. He was very popular and was a fine hockey and football player, Two other brothers aro also at the front.
