In regard to the latter,\nit is said, that twelve new companies of the Canadian forestry corps\nhave arrived in France, making a total of 42_now in the country, with\na total strength of 270 officers and\n7,233 other ranks. These figures do\nnot include the second Canadian\nconstruction company (colored) 11\nofficers and 420 other ranks. A very\nlarge quantity of mill machinery and\nlogging equipment has been received.\nThe report sta-fces that the sixth\ncompany situated in the English\narmy area, continues to increase its\noutput. The production of the companies in this area proved of great\nvalue during [he Vimy and Mcs-\nsines attacks, a large, quantity _ of\ntimber of all descriptions having\nbeen supplied for roads, dugouts, gun\nemplacements and wining operations.\nTwo newly-arrived Canadian forestry companies have been dispatched to the French army area where\noperations have commenced in a\nforest which was a r'mrr lime ago\nheld by the enemy, who had a .sawmill.' There-arc still on the ground\na large _ number of trees felled by\nHuns, who had been driven from the\nterritory before the.;.- c.c:;'d convert\nthem into the lumber, li: has been\nestablished also thr.t the German\narmy has been in the h.-.bit of sending logs from ibis front lo. Germany.\nThe., operations of these companies\nwill be within a few kilometres of\nthe firing line and it has he..i. nrces-\nsary to have all mc:; crj.'.ipped will.',\nand\" trained in the use of gas helmets. They havc also beer, equipped\nvilli steel helmets. *r \/\nThe report on the Crm.tdian railway troops stated that during the\nmonth of July alone these forces located 82 miles of the narrow gauge\nNorway Has No Claim\nPlea for Exemption From American\nEmbargo Not Considered\nOf all the European neutrals, none\nhas suffered so from German fright-\nfulness as Norway. Others havc endured losses ot\" life and property at\nsea, but not in the same measure.\nAnd these have carried on a very\n.profitable trade with Germany, which\nmight be regarded as compensation,\nif compensation for such injuries\nwere possible. The Norwegian merchant marine, which at the beginning of this year totalled 2,252.395\nIons, is nearly as large as that of\nHolland, with 1,611,320 tons, and\nSweden with 1.128,435 tons, combined and it is five limes larger than\nthat of Denmark, with 587.556 tons.\nHut, though its amount of loss by\nsubmarines would be. normally more\nthan that of \"he others, the excess\nis out of all proportion to ils size.\nNo less than 604 ships out of a total\nof 2,036 have been lost, aud something like an equal number of seamen has been lost witli lhem. It\nhas been said that one purpose of the\nattacks on neutral tonnage'has been\nto cripple Germany's business rivals\nat sea, and this peculiar hostilily to\nthe first of the Scandinavian naval\npowers seems lo prove it. No nation\never was worse used by another\nwith which-it was supposed to bc at\npeace.\njit would be easier to sympathize\nwith Norway in her predicament, to\nlend an attentive car to her plea for\ncxemplion from an American embargo, if she had resented Ihe German\nattack with .uore spirit. Ilcr position, it should bo noted, is by no\nmeans so difficult as that of Holland\nor of Denmark. Nor has she pro-\nGerniiin inclinations like Sweden.\nWhile tlie allies keep the German\nfleet in port Norway is in no danger\nof invasion, unless from Sweden,\nis is too remote a contingency\nconsidered. Germany has of-\nicr an ample casus belli,, and\n''Over the Top\"\nNerve-racking Experience Described\nBy a Correspondept\nA vivid sketch of war realism\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\none of the most, nerve-racking experiences it is possible to undergo\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdis\nportrayed in terse, soldier-language\nby a correspondent.

The German fleet\nstarted to sail into the blockaded\nport in a most insulting and provocative manner.\nThis did not seem to Admiral Dewey a very correct procedure; but, as\nlie said, he was not very well up in\nthe etiquette of the ocean, so lie\nsemaphored across to his friend, Sir\nEdward Chicesler of the little second-class British cruiser, the Bona-\nventurc, for advice. Sir Edward, a\netout old sailor, of the best old\nBtock, immediately replied that undoubtedly the German fleet had no\nright to be there, except by courtesy\nof the blockading fleet. The Germans\nhad no sea manners, he added.\n\"What ought I to do?\" asked Admiral Dewey.\n\"Fire acros his bows,\" replied Sir\nEdward Chkcstcr with great blunt-\nncss.\nIn the course of two minutes whizz\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdz\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdzbang, went a shot across the\nGerman's bows, and in an incredibly\nshort space of time her fleet anchored hastily.

In the pinnace;\nwere seated sonic very angry Germans.

In despatches describing the first day's\nfighting on the Somme, nearly 14\nmonths ago, it was suggested that\nthe essential feature of the future\nfighting on this front would lie, like\nthe contest between naval guns and\nship's armor, an increasing effort, on\nthe one hand, to hide tr.'-ichine guns\nin more and more-impregnable posi-\n_ioi;s, and on the other, a growing\ni.Hensity of heavy gun-fire lo endeavor to knock them out. in a\nlarge measure, this has proved true.\nMany new factors have come into the\nwar since then, such, as tanks and\nboiling oil, and new gas shells of\nvarious sorts, as well as an immense\ndevelopment of aerial fighting. But\nthe essence of the German defence\nis the machine gun, continually disposed and sheltered in new ways, and\nour suprenie'weapon against it is primarily our artillery.\n..When the Somme battle began the\nGermans had their machine guns disposed along their trenches, generally\nat commanding angles, with wooden\nemplacements, which raised them\njust above the parapets. Wc soon\nlearned to pour upon the lino of a\ntrench such a concentration of gun\nlire that nothing could live under it,\nso that no machine gun along the\ntrench line survived when our men\nWent over. Then the Germans tried\ndisposing machine guns, in addition\nto those which were in the trendies,\niu scattered positions in Ihe rear,\nwhence they rained their bullets\nblindly over their own trenches,\nthrough our barrage, at the ground\nacross which our men were presumably advancing. This machine gun\nbarrage was never very effective; and\nin several cases at least' it caused\nlarge casualties among the Germans\nthemselves, both in the trenches and,\nespecially, in masses of German prisoners as they came out of the\ntrenches to surrender or were being\nmarched back to the rear.\nMeanwhile, the intensity of the artillery bombardments was altering\nthe character of the fighting by creating what the. Germans call the\ncrater area, and the enemy began to\nmake increasing usc of the shell holes\nin this area for machine gun posts.\nWe intensified our artillery fire over\nstill wider areas, and supplemented\nthem in turn with machine gun barrages, so searching all the open country, as well as demolishing the established trench lines, machine gunners in open shell holes had a poor\nchance of survival until our infantry\nattack developed. Then\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda little last\nautumn, more in the winter, but most\nof all this summer\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe Germans began using concrete on an immensely\nextended scale.

He was\none of the youngest meti of his rank\nin the French army, having been promoted by President Poincare in\nFebruary last at the age of twenty-\ntwo.

The infantry refused him because, he was under weight for his\nheight and the flying corps rejected\nhim because the examining surgeon\nconsidered that he was too nervous.\nFinally, through the influence of a\nfriend of his famiiy who was in\ncharge of an aviation school he was\nallowed to learn to fly, He astonished his instructors by his rapid\nprogress and coolness and won a\nflying license, after which the aviation corps accepted him.\nGuynemer became an \"ace\" iu the\nFrench aviation corps in August,\n1916, and soon thereafter surpassed\nthe record of Sub-Lieutenant Jean\nNavarre, who up to that time led\nwith twelve German machines to his\ncredit.
