The Wingham Advance, 1917-05-24, Page 16: Siegle Copies p Three Cetus lentoaer'$ Cotner INCREASED PRODUCTION When prices soar still were and more, Beyond all calculation, Wo think the cause is unjust 'awe, And fraud and speculation. We ask the men, the nine or ten Who frame our legislation, To sets the Brice of wheat and rice And prunes for all the nation, If: theylbut would, they surely could Makethiugs a little straighter, But while we wait, as sure as fate, We'll starve ter a per tater, • Let's get a rake, and garden make ¶a•lncreitesehe production, Not sit and growl, nor rave and howl, Aud try to raise a ruction: Throw oaf our dude and grow some .spuds To keep us through next winter, Fill up our lots with polka dote, , Uobblera' and early sprinter, Carrots and beets and other eats, Parsnips and kale and onions, To walk around the cool damp ground, Will cure our corns and bunions, While soldiers brave across the wave, Are in the trenches toiling, We who can't go mast plant and sow. To keep the home pots boiling; With some to spare, a goodly share, Of food to feed the fighters, Thus I and you our bit may do, To beat the German blighters. To help this plan each alderman, (Though some have waist girths ample,) Should go right now and buy a plow. And follow Bink'e example. The mayor might lead and sow the seed, (He's such au early riser) While Town Clerk Groves, in Gurney's gloves, Spreads Wilford's fertilizer. Then Fothergill might fill the bill To follow with a harrow, Meanwhile the Reeve, with rolled up sleeve, Wheels stones off in a barrow, Back to the land, a gallant band, If they have not forgotten, The way to farm, 'twill do no harm, To Tipling or to Spotton. CANADIANS ON YIMiV RIDGE Following is a letter received at Robt, Currie'a of heti, W awanosb, from Pre. David Johnston, who was eevorely iveuuded a abort time ago and ie in the hospital at time of writing: Hospital, France, Apiil 1$ b, 1017. Here I cut with a note to you again. :t eeeni°i as though I have a habit of writing notes to you sell, I'ni e,fraid seine of the notes grow and before I can get closed, I have, managed sever- al pages. But es you manage to fill several pages, I guess we'll call it even. Ilow are you these April day¢? I believe I wrote you a letter once before at the earlier part of the month. Am 1 right? There seems nothing else to. do so 1 stn passing my time vi?riting, but for a. few days I did not feel much for scribbling. however, I am feeling much better and am expecting to go to „Blighty" at any time. The boys look forward to going to England, it seems a treat to them and usually causes a frown to come when told their case is not bad enough for "Blighty". We have had no rush in this ward since I arrived. although it is 'nearly filled. and I think about three-quarters of the cases go to Blighty. So that means from three to six months away from the firing line, But I guess I have that beat and expect peace before I am able to return as I h•.rdly think -I will be fit to go with the fighting forces again. although I might fill in some other branch of the work. e ' We bevelled some very disagreeable weather for the nig advance. It ,eeeme to be either rain or snow every day. It sure has been very disagreeable for the lads who are holding and extend- ing the new liners Well Gwen, there seems not touch to write about here, but I guer+s I may pass my time writing a shoiet com- position, and as there seems to be one subject talked of here, I will diem my words that way and give you a Ebert account of "the Canadians on Vitey Ridge" I might say that we have faced the Hun on this front for sever,l m:'•' he. Nothing of much importance i..appen- ing'during the cold and ur:rfarorable weather. Of course, we ;roiled the enemy trenches many tinges during that time and• constantly annoyed him with trench motars; also the artillery doing muoh to make it disagreeable for those of the enemy holding their line. The boys all knew when spring would come we would go over, and contldento rested with every one that tbe great etrobg-hold held by bis fam- ous "Prussian Guards". would be ours. We used to talk many times of how the Hoche would be retiring from off the ridge and the Canucks right on his trail, but that has passed and was easier done than we had expected. Of course -ve had made great. prepara- tions for the big drive, It was nearing Easter and we knew by the movements of troops, we were ready for the drive. Many went in en Saturday evening while more moved closer to the lines and bivouacked a few miles back of the lines, ready to move in at any time. )faster Sunday ie a beautiful day.

The terrible ro•rr of the guile vendee, nes. The fleet wave is out and keep• ing well under the barrage; the second wave is out now and following the first at a required interval. The bar- rage lifts to the second Run line, the first wave tush his front liue and com- pletely overcome the euemy. Toro is little fight left in hitn, the dash and courage of we Uanucke is too much for him. Hundreds of their comrades are lying dead in tide trench, hundreds are throwing up their bands, and it's "Kamerad mercy", Many have been ;aught in the dugouts and are found huddled up in one corner waiting for the order to eurrendet and come out, The second wave has passed on over and is waiting for the artillery to raise their barrage. O,,hor waves aro out and going towards their objective, only halting for our own oarrage and as it raises they carry on toward their objective. They have met with more resieteneo at his third line, but it is soon overcome and the final objective is soon reached, then everyone is busy. A. trench has to be dug and the new line consolidated. It takes several hours of work and the weather is die - agreeable but everyone works with a will, We are determiucd to bold the Hun in his defeated position at all costs as expect ho will counterattack and try and regain his lost fortress. lie is in the valley but still he will fight on doggedly, Itsinforccments will be brought in. They do not know just what their comrades have been driven through, but the artillery are doing wonderful work, and it means a hot time for the new -comers. It is wouderful how speedily the artillery are moving up. Everywhere do we see horses moving -the light artillery. Lorries are pulling the heavier ones along and age soon placed 'and are at once in action: Tte 'Am- munition column are busy bringing up the ammunition and there is no peace for the enemy. It is nearly' twelve on Easter Mon- day and the fiercest of the fighting is over. Many of the tattailion reacbed their of je.ctive as early as 5,30 A. M. while others with more resistance have taken a few hours more but they fight on with determination and victory in the end. It is a great victory for. the Oanadiane; great because itisa strong- hold to a field of coal mines, also for the fact that he had been expecting and had made preparations to make it a failure. We can see in the val- ley beyond the mines, he is 'destroy- ing them in his retreat. Everywbere from the start of the battle do we sea the great work of the stretcher-bearer and' the Red Cross. They do work, regardless of the shell fire and the many obstacles which they bare to overcome. Stretcher- bearers are busy taking the wounded to the advanced dressing station, There they have doctors and more of the Red Cross staff, . The wound is usually redressed here then the patients are put on care on the light railway and taken to another dressing station where. waiting for them, aro the Red Cross ambulance care which take them to the Casualty Clearing Station.
