Bettel" than any general description are the bare rocorda of individual acta cf g-allantry for bringing home to the reader the true pictures of ccnditions under which the Cnnadian Corps have waged war since Septem- ber 27 ill this terrible l)attlc of Cam- brai. The followiiii'- cases, gathered almost haphazard, are entirely typical of the general diaractcr of the flight- ing, which freijuently resolved itself into single-handed attacks on the enemy strongholds. Necessarily hun- dreds and thou.sands more must go unrecorded, equally gallant though they be. Alberta battalions, while attacking the Marcoing line on Sep- tember 28, ran up against heavy un- cut wire and numerous machine guns. A private discovered one of these which was inflicting heavy casualties. In the face of point-blank machine gun and rifle fire he attacked volun- tarily, sniping as he went, and then rushed this formidable nest, "captur- ing the gun and twenty men. Private Rushes Position Alone. In the attack on Bourlon Wood on the previous day, another private of the same battalion, when heavy rifle fire developed from the quai'ry wood, WOMEN!

TUNNELS IN THE ALPS Great Seam of Coal W^ Pierced in Construction of the Loetschberg. | Geologists owe much of their } knowledge of the ."Mps to the tunnels which have been bored throuRh ! those mountains to make railway routes between the northern and ; southern parts of Europe. There has ; been no more important discovery , made in this way than during the construction of the Loetschberg tun- nel. This was the unexpected pierc- ing of a great coal seam in the centre of a mass of much younger Triassic | stone. The Loetschberg tunnel proved a much more diflicult proposition than the St. Gothard tunnel, which is driven almost entirely through hard gneiss. At Andermatt and Airola ' one can see in the quanies how un- â-  der tremendous pressure the Jurassic chalk has been turned into marble. ; In the case of the Loet.ichberg the ; geological profile pre.=;enteil the un- usual sight of primitive rock piled on top of stratified rock. j All the .Mpine tunnels are run on ! straight lines except the Loetschberg, 1 which was built on a curve. This was : necessary because of unforseen ob- : stacles in the interior composition of the mountain and rogiilted in an ex- penditure of $500,000. The engineers did not believe that the Kander stream, which flows down the moun- tain side, would interfere with the boring of n tunnel 600 feet below the river bed, but it did, and there was a cave- in, by which twenty-five work- men lost their lives.
