Letter From the Front
On several occasions our readers
have had the pleasare of reading
some interesting letters from Mr.
Elmore Lang, son of Dir. R. ,,S, Lang
formerly of Exeter. 'We now repro-
duce another, written to his father
after being injured. It is doubly 'in-
teresting in that it tails of meeting'
with Miss •Edna Dow, nurse "frone,Exe-
ter. . • •
No, 8 British Hospital, France,
June 19th, 1915,
DEAR FATHER: -
Well, luck was with me and I •got
off with slight wounds, wben we made
the attack on the 151b, a flesh wound
in the left thigh and my right ankle
wounded by a German bomb. My
ankle was hurt by the force cf the ex-
plosion, as it landed very close to ere.
The German trenches were under a
very heavy bombardment for an hour
before the attack, by the British and
Canadian artillery. Our engineers
bad the first-line German trench
mined, the artillery ceased at two
minutes to six and the mine was shot
at six. We made the attack under
'cover of the dust from the explosion.
It was v:hile holding the right flank of
the German trench with a few more
that I was wounded by rt bomb, which
was thrown from the same trench on
our right; we weae just getting ready
to barricade it up. One of the Canad-
ian engineers was wounded with the
same bomb.
I was wounded about seven o'clock
and after laying in a German dug -out
for about a half hour with a couple of
other wounded, I finally managed to
crawl back to our own trench under a
heavy fire. The carnage between the
two trenches was sickening, I got
down pretty near to the diesing sta.
tion, bub couldn't go acy farther as
my legs got so stiff I couldn't walk, so
was taken the rest of the way on a
sbretcher, had my wounds dressed and
was carried back anotner mile on a
stretcher to another •place where I
was taken in a horse ambulance to an-
other station, my wounds were dress-
ed again; taken from there in a motor
ambulance to a Fie'd Hospitel, where
I was innoculated for lockjaw: from
there to another Field hospital, where
I was dressed again and pub on the
Red Cross train at 9 a, m., travelled
all day and night teed arrived here at
Roen Hospital at 43 a, m, next morn-
ing, the 17th, and "What Do You

be built along the hydro transmission
lines. There mast be power stations
along the line and naturally the pow-
er towns will derive the advantage
of supplying power for the railways.
The speaker said that the citizens
may feel quite sure of the uscpesn of
the undertaking. They have the ex-
perience of the engineers who have
overcome ,the difficulties of the mune
LcipaJiti.es until to -day it has come, to
that point where practically every
one is yielding a surplus. Thefigurea
of the .Commission show tba saving to
the town but do not show the saving
to the individual. The oitizens save
in the lighting of their homes and
the electric appliances used. St.
!Marys is eat only, paying their.deben;-
ture debt but have a surplus which
this .sear. amoutns to $8,550.
Besides the advantages of a dve11
lighted town and the advantages sou
have ,to Atter industries you have the
personal advantage of cheaper, light
and electric power at all times. Some
say that the floor space is a :disad-
vantage. The floor space of th,e av-
erage house will be -about 35, cents or
a little more than you are. paying for
meter. '1'o 39 pert cent the iioor space
is an advantage. There is little ob-
,lection to the, iioor space in,;St. Marjs
lie advised the citizens to vote lavr
orably ,to the by-law on Friday,
Mr, Geo. Stanley, of Lucan, is a
hydro enthusiast and he, io;rought
along the feats and,Ligures that gave
him his convictions. fie he'd 'nor
thought 'as to the possibility of ,any-.
thin happening to defeat the bee
law•, He touched on the uudipcover-,
ed. fields of possibilr;te for this wtu-
pendous power. He •said that int th•e,
village
ot Lucan they would laugh .in
their boots if the by-law wen, defeat-
ed hare on Friday -.One of the ,reasons
given was that hydro radials aro.
coming and Lucan is out to secure
the radial and if Exeter defeats the
by -clew there would be no station,
erected to supply the power and. 'Lill
can would be right in line for it..
The point was made clear both by
Mr. Stanley and Engineer (Castor who
followed ,that the municipality can-
not ;be asked to raise taxes to pad off
the debetnurc debt that is incurred;.
The debt Must be paid. by .the users
and the rate is Struck accordingly.
The town must pay for its street
Lighting ;and this should cost Exeter
little ,more than under the old. systcrd
The street lighting of Lucan costs
him a12 a year 'more but lie saves
o19 and gives a 24 hour service. 1•le
gave some interesting figures on • the
cost per month before and ,astet in-

before, 76 atter;; 143 before. 1.09
alter. in addition to the lightiiig
an each of these houses an electric
iron was used and in some cases, oth-i
er appliances.
The speaker said the wornen of Lu -

Engineer Castor was the last speak-

commercial customers in stores; the
power ',customers and. street lighting.
These and these only /crust pay the
