A TRENCH BATTLE.
How Wounded Frenchmen Repulsed a
German Attack,
One of the remarkable *Aries of the
war is that of the French sergeant
who in a position of peculiar danger
saved the situation by his strange and
piercing cry, "Debout, les morts!"
(Stand up, you dead men!) An officer
who witnessed the episode thee de-
scribes it:
•
We were putting in order a trench
we had just taken. At the barrier of
sandbags at each end two pickets kept
careful guard,
Suddenly from bend a mound o
earth a perfect avalanche of bombs
came hurtling down upon our heads,
and before our men realized what was
happening., ten of them lay dead or
wounded ab the bottom of the trench.
I opened ray mouth to rally my men,
but a stone from the parapet, loosen-
ed by a felling bomb, crashed down
upon my Lead andimocked me senses
less.
But only for a second. A bursting
bomb shattered iny hand and the
pain brought me back to life. As I
opened my eyes, faint and dizzy, I saw
a band of Germans leaping over the
sandbags into the trench—twenty or
so of them—without rifles, but with
rush baskets full of bombs hung about
their necks.
I looked to the right and to the left.
All our men bad gone; the trench was
empty. Just then one a my men, who
had been lying apparently lifeless, a
gash across his forehead, another on
his chin and his whole face covered
with blood, sat up, seized a sack of
grenades lying near and shouted, "De -
bout, les marts!" Then he got up on
his knees and hurled grenade after
grenade at the enemy.
At his shout three other men strug-
gled up. Two whose legs were broken
seized their rifles and opened 'fire, each
shot going home with deadly effect;
the third man, whose right arm hung
useless at his side, grasped his bay-
onet with his left hand. By the time
I was on my feet, having quite come
to myself again, half our enemies
- were struck down and the rest were
reheating in disorder.
There, alone, leaning against the
parapet and protected by a huge iron
1/4 shield, stood an enormous German
sergeant, sweating, panting, splutter-
ing with rage, and bravely emptied
his revolver at us.
The man who had rallied us, the
hero at whose word the dead had come
to life, got one of the shots- right in
the face. He reeled and fell.
Suddenly his comrade with the bay-
onet, who had carefully crawled for-
ward, sheltered by the bodies of his
fallen mates, pulled himself togebher,
and, dodging two bullets, aimed at
him, with one gigantic effort plunged
his weapon into the German's throat.
It was over; we held our ground;
we were saved. At that all -impelling
call the dead indeed had come to

ST. JOHN ADIBVIANCE.
First Aid Work of the Canadian
Pacific Railway Centre.
"A most successful year, notwith-
standing the general depression."
This is the pleasing statement con-
tained in the sixth annual report of
the Canadian Pacific Railway Centre
of the St. John' Ambulance Associa-
tion. For the twelve months, ending
Sepbernber 30, 1915, no less than, 1,816
passed qualifying examinations out of
a total of 2,564 who presented them-
selves for instruction at the classes.
In all the departments of the C.P.R.
Centre of the .Assoeiation, which
spreads over.. the country, a greater
zeal than ever 'was manifested for
work, and the support of the superin-
tending officials of the C.P.R, ja In no
small way responsible for a good deal
of the advancement made. Wives
and daughters of C.P.R. employees
have taken advantage of the free
course of training offered, and now
no leas' than 825 ladies have taken
out the certificate of qualification
from the Association.
Under the auspices of the C.P.R.
Centre instruction was given to the
Borden Battery and Ammunition
Column before leavingMontiealf
the front. Afterwards the certificates
of merit were presented to the offi-
cers and men by His Royal Highness
the Duke of Connaught.
An important feature of the work
of the C.P.R. Centre was the bringing
of a large number of the lady clerks
of the C.P.R. into touch with the Red
Cross Society, an organization to
which they proved a valuable asset.
Three men were saved from drown-
ing at Winnipeg by W. T. Davies, 0.
P.R. 4,mbiAlance instructor, and Wil-
liam Newcombe, a C.P.R. constable.
Sir Donald Cameron presented the
medal of the Royal Canadian Hernane
Society to each in recognition of their
bravery.
Particulars were obtainable of 3,-
780 cases where first aid had been
administered by members of the
O.P.R. Centre. The eases were thus
divided; Atlantic Centre, 9. Eastern
Division, 130; Ontario Division, 136;
western lines, 3,440.
Concluding. the report of the C.P.R.
Centre pays a glowing tribute to the
late Lieutenant-Colonel Lacy R. Johns
son, who had been chairman of the
Centre under review and also of the
whole Association. During his time
as chairman nearly 7,000 employees
of the C.P.R, passed the qualifying
examinations, and in this way made
themselves better citizens of the Do -

A ZEPPELIN PASSES
A Striking Picture of Its Visit to an
English Village.
There have been many graphic de-
scriptions of darkened London await-
ing the Zeppelins; many, too, of the
actual arrival of the n 1• 'd
But Mr. Alfred 011ivant, the novelist,
in "The House on the Cliff," makes
the anticipation, the coming and the
passing of a Zeppelin through a little
coastland village of England a picture
more striking and memorable than
any—perhaps because in the telling
his sense neither of moderation, of
humor nor of beauty failed him.
A few minutes after he had gone to
his room the first night of his stay,
his host, the colonel, came up and
knocked..
"You're showing a streak of light
through the curtains," he said enxious-
ly. "Do you mind if I arrange
them ?" He stood on a chair and
made certain delicate adjustments,
setting to work as a dressmaker goes
about to fit a lady's gown. "They
fine you ten pounds for the first
offense," he said, his mouth full of
pins. The occupant of the room
pays," he added with quiet gusto,
"not the owner. And for the second
offense you db time."
"All through the winter our lights
were the colonel's hobby, his anxiety
and delight. He was terribly thor-
ough. From bathroom, lavoratories,
passages and holes the bulbs were re-
moved to guard against temptation
and servants against carelessness.
You washed in the dark, and you said
good -by to your friends by the light
of the moon. And every night, when
the blinds were down and the curtoins
drawn, the colonel went his rounds.
. . . And, if about the hour of dark,
you went into one of the • seaward
rooms, you would be pretty sure to be
greeted by a spectral voice from thei,
ceiling, 'I'm not very happy about this
curtain,' . . . and you would be aware
of a gdunt and vulture-like figure
perched 'on atable or a chair, safety
pin in mouth, adjusting a chink."
But when at last a Zeppelin dame,
ib carne by day.
"It was a February afternoon of
the fairest," says Mr. 011ivints I
"I was slowly climbing the last hill
home when of a sucldeil I Was aware
of I knew not what. • .
.
"Some primeval instinct warned me •
to beware.
"I stood with ears alert, and sniffed.
"There was a faint, strange smell
in the air, and a faint, far humming.

visible but a remote destroyer, I gaz-
ed up into the heavens. Not a speck I
darkened the distant blue. Then a

yards above me, a woman at his side

The loveliness of that remote and shin-
ing something, on whose underwings
the westering sun was beating up,
possessed and dazzled me. . .
"There was a Bang! bang! bang!
and out of the green hillside across
the valley, two hundred yarda away,
suddenly spurted great mushrooms of
smoke, one after another. Bang!
bang! bang! and one of the houses
skirmishing on the outskirts of the
town was enveloped in a dirty eloud.
"'Take coverr cried a fierce, Author-
itative voice near by.
"The man on the crest, who was
lame, limped swiftly into his house,
the woman scuttling before him. I
was left on the bare road, conselous
of that fatal and beautiful thing pois-
ed plumb overhead. I dared not look
up. Were I to do so, the felling bomb
would surely catch me in the face!
and I preferred to take it In the
neck.
"I made for the house opposite; it
was empty and locked.
"Then came the lame man running
out. 'Conie in here, "r!' he 11 d
"But it was all over. And the crea-
ture from another world was flying
homeward in the light of the sinking
sun, the smoke of its handiwork pur
suing it leisurely across the waters
in pillars of soot."

WHO HAS FOUND NEW HEALTH
IN DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS.
Philip McLeod Tells How He Sufferad
from Kidney Trouble for Years and
Found a Quick and Complete Cure
in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Tarbot, Victoria Co.,. C.B., June
19b11 (SPeeial.)—Philip McLeod is just
one more of the many residents in
this neighborhood wit') have found
new health in Dothrs Kidney Pills.
"I have used Dodd's Kidney Pills
with great success," Mr. McLeod
states. "For years I had kidney
trouble and could get nothing to help
me. Hearing of what Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done for others led me to
use them. Five boxes cured me cam-,
pletely.
"I have recommended Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills to many people. I cannot,
speak too highly of them."
The testimony of people who have
been cured is better than all the
theory in the world. Dodd's Kidney
Pills are purely and simPly a kidney
remedy.. If you have kidney trouble
all you need to do is to ask others.
They will tell you that Dodd's Kidney
Pills will cure you.
They will also tall you that Dodd's
Kidney Pills cure rheumatism, dropsy,
heart disease, diabetes, gravel and
13right's disease. That is because all t
these diseases are either kidney
diseases or are caused by diseased
kidneys.
LOST PROVINCES RICH.
Alsace-Lorraine Has Vast Deposits of
' Potahs, Iron and Coal.
Quite apart from strong senti-
menet reasons, French people want to
get their lost provinces of Alsace-
Lorraine back because of their actual
value.
In the provinces are some of the'
greatest potash mines in the world.
These mines alone yield £4,000,000
worth of potash every yer. Natural-
ly, while the Germans have owned
them they have made many millions
out of themsupplying tbe world with
potash, and. with fertilizers from the
rock salt which is mixed up with the
potash beds.
Another fact about Lorraine which
will surprise most people is that it
has half the world's supply of iron
ore, as well as huge untapped coal ,
deposits. For the coal alone France
would like Lorraine for she is short
of coal, and has to import 10,000,000
tons a year.
Altogether, the return of Alsace-
Lorraine will increase France's an-
nual income by some £10,000,000, so
there is a business side as well as
a sentimental one bo the recapture of
the lost provinces.

parcels weighed aboub 1,500 tons a -

THE SUMMERLESS YEAR.
What the Year 1816 Was Like in This
CouritrY.
The year 1816, that is, 100 years
ago, says the Perth Expositor, was
known as the "surnmerleaa summer."
Snow eonimeneed falling in the middle
of June, by the middle of August it
was one foot In depth, and from the
flint fall of snow in June until the
following summer the earth remained
under the covering of 'the wintry
blanket. Absolutely nothing in the
way of harvest was garnered. Every-
thing in the way of crops rotted in
the ground. What did the people live
on? Meat—meat and fish—there were
no vegetables and there was no flour;
it was venison and fish to -day, reliev-
ed by fish and flesh to -morrow, taken
from slaughter -settle. Hay had to
be shipped from Ireland to save the
starving cattle in Quebec, and it sold
there for $45 per ton; flour sold at
$17 per barrel in Qt,ebet, and pota-
toes were one penny a pound. This
year was called "the year eighteen
hundred and frozen to death." The
use of the cold was believed to be
sunspots, which were so large that
