The tenacious, chalky mud of the district made movements of troops and transport of all kinds peculiarly diffiâ€" cult and an usgsly local attack had deâ€" veloped a day or two before the actual festival itself, the enemy bombarding the French from heights held by them in comparative dryness and comfort, then storming the wateriogged, wretchâ€" edly situated trenches on thr lower ground. Casualties had besn heavy and the difficulties in the way of removing and tending the wounded very great, amâ€" bulances were busy night and day bringing the injured to aid posts and casualty clearing stations before reâ€" moving them further down the line. The conditions had been hideously bad for drivers and str2tcherâ€"bearers alike, Now, too, there was a feeling ing tension in the atmosphe already forebodded a new e fensive, to be launched, so it lieved, against the French F Exactly where‘the main attack would be rammed home was the only really open question, according to the reports of the Intelligence Department and opâ€" inion in general. In the section wheore Hall was staâ€" tioned, some kilometres south of the junction between the French and Briâ€" tish, thiere had been a particularly bad spell of weather and fighting. This was especially true of the French front, wher>» indeed a grimmer spirit had always prevailed. No truces there: They rather despised their Allies for yielding to such sentimentality, these men who remembered Sedan, whose fathers fought there.

Dear Sir:â€"I would like to draw to your attention the great harm done by The Toronto Star‘s Bow and Arrow hunting expeditions. I do not think ii is good sportsmanship to stick a deer full of arrows and publish the picture of the same deer trying to swim the lake looking like 2 pine cushion. Now another angle of this style of hunting is the great waste of good game that is now scarce in our country. The Star‘s published act of the hunt say they shot at five moose but did not get them. Twentyâ€"five years ago while cutting up a bull moose I shot in Langâ€" muir Township, I found he had two bullets in him that were not mine, and had carried them a long time. The wounds had healed and those bullets did not bother him, but I think those five moose with arrows in them will die, as the wounds will never heal with the arrow in, and they are not going to come out. Then. besides this painâ€" ful, lingering slow death to the animals, there are approximately 5,000 lbs. of good meat left to rot or feed the wolves. The point is this:â€"the law allows one moose to a hunter, which may be very reasonable is he shoots with a rifle, ana is pretty sure of his shot. If by bad Simultaneous calls from itwo street boxes to report a chimney fire at 105 Pine street south last Thiursday night at 7 o‘clock, had even the signal sysâ€" tem at the station house buffaloed. Unâ€" able to determine accurately where the fire was located, the truck sped first to Third avenue and Cedar street and then to Third avenue and Mountjoy street. Unable to find a blaze of any kind, the firemen returned to the staâ€" tion just as a second truck was sent out following a phone call that finally supplied the correct address. The blaze was extinguished withcut any damage. Another chimney fire was quzenched Friday afternoon at 70% Fifth Ave. Deputation Sent \by Town Councii Will Interview Ontario Govâ€" ernment Departments A deputation from town council comâ€" posed of Councillors Karl Eyre and William Wren, are leaving for Toronto this evening to interview the Departâ€" ment of Municipal Affairs on matters pertaining to town financing and the Department of Health with regard to the appointment of a fullâ€"time medical officer of health here. 009000000 6886086840 STAR TRANSFER The Public Is Invited To V iew An ART EXHIBITION OF ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS RECENTLY COLLECTED IN MANY EUROPEAN COUNTRIES The Exhibition is open from 10 a m to 10 p.m. every day until SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5th We Can Take It!

I think the Dept. should have the matter brought to their attention at once and be very strongly urged to grant no more licenses to bow and arrow hunters. In closing a wish to draw attention to the picture of the deer and the arrows in it, for they were shot from behind and downward into the deer‘s back. It is the belief of your writer that the stunt was not done in the manner described by The Daily Star in the hunting of this deer. I believe the old, easy, huntâ€" ing way was the method used, this is, paddling the canoe after the swimming deer and closing in on it at rear end, and then the man raised up in bow of canoe and shot the arrows into the deer. Don‘t you see the head and front shoulders high and rear low in water and hunter above gives the angle for those arrows?
