The day before, we had passed the artillery and the tanks, hour after hour, on the broad roads north of London. On this fine morning, we saw the inâ€" fantry on the move, truck after truck. The fine car in which I was riding developed ignition trouble in a little English village. A Chevrolet station wagon picked me up. The driver was a chap fron Hamilton. Laurie Audâ€" rain, official photographer, sat in the back seat, with his cameras and his light meters draped around his neck. He hoped to come back to Canada after the war and edit a weekly newsâ€" paper. I answered all his questions as well as I could. V. W. Odlum, who h: Australia as Canada‘s that country. Many â€" cers wereâ€"with him, in that they were more the mandevyres. No C toâ€" talk to a eroup Trafaigar for all Canadians on leave. I was up early on the morning of Friday, September 26th. Breakfast in the Bavoy consisted of tomato Jjuice, excellent rolls, tea, butter and marmaâ€" i=de. Breakfast was always a difficult meal. ‘There were no eggs. The cofâ€" fee didn‘t taste like coffee and probâ€" ably wasn‘t. ‘The butter was cut in pleces the diameter of a shilling but about half as thick. ‘The waiter said the supply of marmalade was just abm‘t);edm. : Next month, there would not any. The Humber car was waiting at the door, ‘with a ‘Canadian flag over the radiator. The driver crossed Westminâ€" ster bridge, skirted a noted cricket ground and drove through a part of London where there was about one building destroyed in every block. The great Croydon aerodrome showed less damage than might have been exâ€" pected, for it was one of the first tarâ€" gets in London to be bombed. ‘Trocps on the Move It was not long till we were in the area where Canadian troops were on the move. That was the time when most of the Army in Britain was enâ€" gaged in manoeuvres, trying out the plan to repél invasion. In theory, the C@rermans had landed in the Southeast but had been repelled. Then it was supposed that another landing had been accomplished south of Hull and the defenders were moving up to the Coast. Captain Gillis Purcell waved to us and we stopped at a little park. The other Canadian editors were there alâ€" ready. it moving, and motorcyclists buzzed up and down the lines, watching that everything was in order. Evidently the Canadian Army: had done this kind of thing before, for there was never hitch. n the corner stood a little bakeâ€" sh~p, but there wasn‘t a sign of anyâ€" thing to eat in the windows or on the counters. Two girls stood inside the door: and an occasional soldier, riding with his legs over the back of an army truck, saw them and waved. Lunch With Major General Odlum At aoon, I was one of the â€"six editors who climbed out of cars in front of the fine old house which was then the headquarters of the 2nd Canadian Division. I heard later that it was at une time a summer home of Queen Victoria. There I met Major General V. W. Odlum, who has since gone to Australia as Canada‘s commissioner to that country. Many of his staff offhâ€" cers were with him, in spite of the fact that thq were more than buy with the mandevres. No doubt they liked to talk to a group just over from In order to leave the life of the metropolis undisturbed, the Canadian Corps was working its way around behind â€" London, crossing the Thames between London and Reading and then heading northeast. Down the narrow street, a steady stream of Canadianâ€"built motor trucks passed towards the west. A soldier in uniform directed traffic, keeping didn‘t last any more: the oils re used for making marâ€" An remarked: "Oh, well, ]{e‘a‘tutyourpaintandhaveit Second Division Demonstrates UE m Canada. The meal tasted good. After the exotic cooking at the big hotels, this was like Canada again. There was soup, followed by steak (the only beefâ€" steak I saw in England), mashed potaâ€" toes, carrots, jam, cheese, crackers, rolls and apples. .More marvellous, there was a halfâ€"pound of butter in each of theâ€"dishes. The officer beside me told. me it was margarine but I wouldn‘t have known the difference.

He was parâ€" ticularly interested, in relatives and friends in Ottawa, for he had been head of the National Research Council there. As a noted scientist, as well as a soldier, I believe that the General has a right to place almost the whole alphabet after his name to indicate degrees and decorations, He did not look well at that time, and since then has been forced to take a monthâ€" off to rest and recuperate. I have never met anyone who knew him, who did not characterize him as "a fine felâ€" low." After that day I could underâ€" stand. demonstration of the efficiency and speed of the Reconnaissance Battalion. He stepped over to one of the wireless units and said a few words. Inside of three minutes, a stream of universal carriers and armoured cars was tearâ€" ing down the road past the spot where we stood, slowing down for a corner and turning out of sight. I don‘t know how far away it was when that wireâ€" less call went out, but that battalion must be trained to standards that would do credit to a city fire brigade. Conference With Gen. McNaughton It was in the late afternoon that our cars filed up a driveway bordered with hedges clipped in fancy shapes and stopped in front of another large mansion, this time the headquarters of General McNaughtonâ€"Lieut.â€"Genâ€" eral A. G. L. McNaughton, to be more precise. ‘The ensuing two hours were among our most interesting in Engâ€" land. Having fed us the customary Engâ€" lish afternoon tea, General McNaughâ€" ton took us upstairs to his own office. It was large and airy. Maps hung on allâ€"the walls. A dozen editors and ‘"a few staff officers sat â€"down at tables, with the General in the centre of the horseshoe, and he gave a short adâ€" dress and he answered every quesâ€" tion.. There was no hesitation and no evasion. Occasionally, having told us something, he would say that was not for publication, but that was the only restriction. He kept no secrets from his visitors. lack the picturesqueness of the old roads but they do speed up the through Feeling that the important message which he asked us to give Canadians should not be condensed, I will devote a separate article to the things which General McNaughton said that day. It will be the next in the series. Charged Following Theft of Coal Looking over them now, some months later, I find that they are still timely and valuable. At that time, Moscow and Petrograd were both threatened by the enemy. Since then, that situâ€" ation has changed, but without alterâ€" ing what General McNaughton said of the Russians and of the war in generâ€" al. It was in this talk he coined the famous phrase about the Canadian Corps ‘being ‘"a dagger pointed at the heart of Berlin." More valuable, perâ€" haps, were his remarks on equipment, training and reinforcements. weeks after our visit, losing a leg, when a canister, being dGropped from a plane, broke awny from its paraâ€" chute and struck him below the knee. Of all the editors present, I seemed to be the only "one taking notes that afterncoon. They were fairly complete. official history of the part which the Canadian Corps takes in the war. He is a nephew of Mrs. Perry, formerly editor of the Elora Express. Before he took over this present work, he was a professor of history. He will do a good job. Photographically, the story of the corps is also being well looked after, but there seem to be no Canaâ€" dian painters on the jobh. That is a lack that should be remedied. I believe two young painters are with aâ€"unit in Canâ€" ada, but apparently there are none in England or Scotland. Captain Gillis Purcell, our guide that day, is back in Canada. He met with an unfortunate accident a few Five Persons Are To eliminate the worst of these, two veeping byâ€"pass roads have been Thirteen Timmins Men Left to Join Army Last Week Thirteen men left Timmins in the past week to join the Canadian Active Army.

Damage in Fire Tuesday Afternoon Estimate Damage to Buildâ€" ing at $500 While Furâ€" nishings are Ruined and A fire which broke out in a building owned â€"andâ€"occupied by W. Dedock, at 109 Birch street south, a little after eight o‘clock on Tuesday evening did damage that will amount to considerâ€" ably more than five hundred dollars before the firemen were ~"bWe to exâ€" tinguish it. The alarm was sent in by box and when the firemen arrived they found quite a blaze in progress in the kitchen of the house. Firemen claim thatsome clothes had been hung around the stove to dry and they had ignited. From that start the blaze spread quickly and soon the kitâ€" chen bedroom and . bathroom were blazing. Four hundred fetet of hose was used by the firemen to fight the fire and the damage is said to amount to about five hundred dollars to the buildâ€" ing while the damage to the furniture is said to ‘be considerable. Most of the furnitare was in the front room of the house at the time and it suffered severe blister damage. ‘The whole thing is covered by insurance. Yesterday afternoon the firemen were called to an apartment house at 26 Pirst Avenue where considerable smoke the apartmentsmdamase:ty rang in the alarm. When the firemen arrived they found that the smoke was coming from apartment 9 in the ‘building, and immediately forced their way in.. Inâ€" side the apartment they located the trouble in the oven of the electric stove. It appeared that Mr. C. Cole, the occuâ€" pant, had left some beans in the oven and had gone to work without shutt oH the stove. The beans dried up and started to smoke but no damage was done except the loss of the beans and the soiling of the stove. Six calls for chimney fires were ansâ€" wered during the week and a small fire was extinguished on Thursday evenâ€" ing of last week when ashes in a cardâ€" board box ignited.

His work at the Mattagami school won him the regai‘‘ of all and it would seem that not only has he been unusually successful, but he has.also earned the high regard of the pupils. The pupils at the Mattagâ€" ami school say that it has been a comâ€" mon habit of Mr. Transom‘s to treat the boys and girls to skating parties and weiner roasts, and last Friday the pupils turned the tables by a similar procedure on their part. On Friday last the pupils of the Mattagami school held a skating party and a weiner roast at which Mr. Transom was the guestâ€" ofâ€"honour. The pupils expressed their sincere regret that Mr.Transom was leaving the Mattagami school, though they assured him that he would be folâ€" lowed to his new position as principal ‘of the Central public school with the sincerest good wishes from the pupils at Mattagami and from the exâ€"pupils and the parents as well.
