Under\nOvercast Skies\nIMS OF INDIVIDUAL\nHEROISM TOLD OF\nSodden Ground Ploughed\nInto A Veritable\nPorridge\n(By Daily News Leased Wire.)\nOTTAWA, Aptfil 23.\u2014Desperate\nfighting on the St. Eloi salient, participated in >hy three Canadian battalions,\nthe 2lfit (eastern), 19th (central) and\n18th (weBtern), occurred the week of\nApril 11-18. The Canadian general rep.\nresentatlve at the front In his weekly\nreview tells of battles under unpreee-\ndentedly difficult circumstances in\nwhich the Canadians held their ground\nand in addition occupied a portion of\n[^ an enemy^trench. Many instances of\nindividual heroism. are recounted.\nThe communication follows:\n\"Canadian General Headquarters in\nFrance, via Londan, April 23.\u2014Tfhe\nstruggle tot position In front of St.\nji31ol was again the dominant Interest\non the Canadian fornt, The still\nwearther of the previous week gave\nway to high winds and brilliant sun\n\u25a0 shine to a sky overcast with clouds.\n. Occasional downpours of rain added to\nthe burden of a waterlogged soil. By\nday and night the German guns\npounded tlje narrow confines of the St.\nEloi salient, the volume of IJritish fire\nswelling at times to bombardments of\nextraordinary violence. Great shells\ntore fresh holes in the already torn\nground, obliterating the landmarks of\nprevious explosions. Shnrpnel slashed\nover the fields, Bursting gas shells poi\nsoned the air and f times oMachrymc-cal\nshells assailed the eyes.\nWierd Night Scenes.\nAt night Innumerable German flares\nilluminated the darkness and continu\nous streams of bullets from rifles and\nmachine guns crashed against our par.\napets or swept over them far into the\ncountry beyond!\nIn the face of such conditions our\nmen Waged the fight, repelled enemy\nattacks, dug trenches and maintained\ntheir positions,\nUunder normal conditions of trench\nwarfare, the* struggle for so narrow a\n\/strip as a few hundred yards\nwould have quickly ended. Whether\nafter loss or capture the trench lines\nwould have been quickly readjusted\nand new defenses built. Observation\nand reconnaissance would soon have\nrevealed the fresh dispositions of tho\nenemy.\nThe extraordinary state of the tor-\nrain opposite St, Elol has been chiefly responsible for the prolongation of\nthe fighting. With the Germans overlooking the great' part of the area, and\nwith the ground sodden with water,\nthe construction or even repair of\ntrench was difficult. Only hy slow and\nlaborious effort could the desired result he achieved. With the damp earth\nploughed into a veritable porridge and\ndented with countless 'pits and holes,\nwith steaniy vapors, veiling the landscape, and blotting from view all familiar landmarks, movement was infinitely hazardous and exhausting and\nreconnaissance almost an impossibility.\nMud Daunts Bravest.\nIn places even the hardiest were\nbaffled toy the mud. At times even the\nmost skilled lost their bearings. *~\n.

For reasons they in-\ndlcated were obvious, officials last\nnight deemed it useless to discuss de\ntails. There is reason for believing,\nhowever, that some of the plans have\nto do with the safety of American citizens in the German empire and that\nothers have to do with American su\npervision of, German interests in the\ncounti-ies at war with Germany.\nNumerous despatches on these subjects are understood to have been sent\nto diplomatic representatives abroad,\nparticularly to Amliassudor Gerard in\nBerlin.\nAmong the despatches received from\nAmbassador Gerard within the last two\ndays, Is one\\deelarlng the manner in\nwhich the American note declaring the\npurpose of the United States to break\nrelations unless Germany modified her\nsubmarine methods, was received by\nGerman officials.\nMr. Gerard is said to have gathered\nat least an impression that the foreign\noffice had no idea that the communiea-\ntlgn would bo as drastic and final as it\nwas.\nNot Optimistic,\nThe general feeling here last night\napparently was not al all optimistic\nregarding tho otttc^K-. in the absence\nof further information regarding advices from Ambassador Gerard, the\nday's press despatches were read very\nclosely. %\nDespatches of an Important nature\nare hourly expected from Ambassador\nGerard.

Insurance\nexperts agree upon this.\nOf the recent three great fires in the\nsouth, cauSlng an aggregate loss of 15\nmillion dollars, one Is known to have\nstarted through the carelessness of a\nboy; and the disastrous spread of all\nthree was due to shingle roofa.\nThe shingle roof is looked upon toy\nInsurance men as one of the greatest\nfire hazards, because it catches fire\neasily, and the burning shingles are\ncarried on the wind, spreading the fire.\nFire losses in this country and Canada In January and February of this\nyear amounted to $46,184,120, an hv\ncrease of $1,052,270 over the corre\nspondlng months last year. The three\nfires in the south this month will\nmake the fire lloss for the first quarter\nof this year 30 million dollars more\nthan In the first quarter of last year,\ninsurance experts estimate.\nThe'way to have lower insurance\nrates ts to have fewer fires and everyone can help toy bring 'careful,\u2014Kansas City Star.\nTHE PASSING OF THE\nCLAN MACTAVISH\nShe passed as ihe ships of England\nIn days of long ago!\n'Twas a listing deck and a leaning mast\nThat settled slow from the cannon's\nblast,\nWhen the raider boarded her at last\nTo strike the final blow.\nShe sank as the ships of England sank\nWhile yet the world was young!\nFor her slaughtered seamen rank on\nrank\nHad died on the boat-deck's bloody\nplank\nAnd the shattered strakes beneath her\ndrank\nThe sea with thirsty tongue!\nShe went as the sh'ps of England will\nWhen untoorn worlds are old!\nFor her little guns, perforce, were still,\nAnd the flreroom began to fill\n'Tilt the damaged engines felt the chill\nof death within her hold.\nShe played the game as the English\nplay,\nRegardlefes of the cost!\nWhen the Nations answer Yea or Nay,\nAt the bar where Fair and Foul must\nweigh\nTo a God of Wrath on Judgment Day,\nWhat man shall say she lost?\n\u2014New York Times.\n26 REPORTED DEAD\nON CASUALTY LISTS\n(Continued from Page Three.)\nJ.

Another amendment deals with the power of cities to\nconvey school sites to school boards,\nMunicipalities, under another change\nwhich Is to be made in the act, are\ngiven authority to define \"the channel\nor bed of any stream passing through\nthe municipality and for constructing\nflumes or artificial works to protect\nthe toanks of such stream from erosion\nor damage.

Alej^eith in bringing to a close\na, brief hut stirring address, delivered at tho public demonstration held\nSaturday in honor ot tho anmveisary\nof tbe battle of St. Jullen.\nIn the course of his speeci, Aid.\nLoith man a strong appeal to all unattached young men of the city to fill\nup the gaps in the ranks of the 225th\nbattalion and do their part in the cause\nof the allies.\nIf the British Empire is worth\nwhile,\" he said, \"it is the duty of every man to do all in his power to\nuphold its greatness.\" The speaker\nthen asked every young man to think\nseriously and ask his soul the question whether, when the war is over and\nhe was asked what part he had taken\nin the conflict .whether he would rather be a stay-at-home anda quitter or\na Bruc MeClennan, a Jack Goulding\nor a Bob Quin.\nAid. Leith, who spoke on behalf of\nthe mayor, who was out of town, and\nas president of the Canadian club, declared that _In the war Canada had\nfound its soul and had written a page\nof the.world's history in the blood' of\nIts boys from the office, the field, the\nuniversities and the homes, that would\nnever be obliterated while time should\nlast. .But declared the speaker,\nmast never forget that although Canadians, they are also British. When\nthe mother land sent the fathers of\nthis country out to sot up housekeep'\ning for themselves, It kept the great\nBritish navy behind them and that\ntherefore to be a better Canadian,,!*,\nbetter Australian or a better South\nAfrican, was to be a better Britisher.\nRev. Fred H. Graham, in addressing\nthe gathering, quoted the British war\noffice announcement following the ibat\ntie of St. Jullen, as saying: \"The Co.-\nnadians have had many casualties, but\ntheir gallantry undoubtedly saved the\nsituation.\" This, he said, was high\ntribute as the .British war office, he\ndeclared, did not deal in romance. A\nyear ago, continued the speaker, the\nCanalan troops at SI. Jullen, among\nwhom were a number of men from\nNelson and the Kootennys, carved tho\nword \"Canada\" on the annals of history and set a standard which, xhc declared, every man recruited in Canada\nwould keep before him ad make'it his\nearnest endenvor to live up to.,\n'It is all very well to say 'hurrah,'\nnnd 'God's speed' when the soldiers\nleave for the front,\" continued Mr.\nGraham, \"but we at home have our\nWork to do, There are lessons to be\nlearned at home as well as\"*3>h the\nshell raked battlefields of Flanders,\nand' one of the lessons is to get rid of\nthe 'Hip-hip-hurrah patriots'who have\none eye on the flag and the other on\nmain chance, of the menwho line the\nstreets when te men go off to war\nand cheer them on their way and then\nturn round and try to get the jobs they\nare leaving behind.\"\nIn closing, the speaker paid a trib\nute to the mothers who have willingly\ngiven up their sons to the service.\nTribute to Bandsmen.\nPreceeding the speeches, which were\ndelivered in the open air at the corner\nof Ward and Baiter streets, the mem\nbers of the Nelson -company of the\n225th battalton accompanied hy tho boy\nscouts and the boys' brigade, paraded\nthe city streets. Music was furnished\nby the city band, some of the hands-\nmen wearing the khaki uniform of the\n225th, and the bugle band, One of the\nfeatures of the procession was the\npresence in it of E.
