YOUNG 1N ITERRANEAN EXPEDITIONARY FORGE l My trip from Salonika to London was very interesting. We sailed on a French vessel around the Greek peninsula to Taranto on the south coast of Italy. The remainder of the 'journey to Boulogne, opposite Folkeâ€" tone, was made by rail. _ We had a day in Laranto, Rome, Paris and |Boulogne. "After a year in the Land of the Pharaohs 1 was transferred to the 43rd General Hospital at Salonika, which lies just across the road from our own No. 4 General of Taranto. Salonika city fathers apparently . take | little pains to improve their city or even to keep it clean and in repair. The city is interesting just now because of the presence there of so many members of the Allied troops in their diiferent uniforms. British, Italian, i cench, Russian, Serbian, Greek and Annamâ€" ites, nearly all of whom can be seen at one time in the crowd in front of Flockharti teaâ€"rooms at the chief city square. As usual we had a rough passage across the channel, with many indisâ€" posed, but this â€" unpleasantness was soon forgotten in admiration of the placid landscape of rural England with its numerous flocks of sheep and herds of fat cattle ready to be slaughâ€" tered should occasion arise. London, the great world metropolis, is the most likeable of national capiâ€" tals. ‘There is an elusive atmosphere that draws one‘s heart to it. Perhaps some of the influences are the conâ€" ventionality of its citizens, who al ways do the right thing at the right place, the majestic architecture of its numerous public buildings and the great number of forks and shade trees. Everywhere the colonial receives the greatest consideration. On leaving England‘s shores, sailing through the Irish Sea, a large steamâ€" ship behind us was attacked by a subâ€" marine, and we heard her fire two shots in defence. Two days later we received word that the shots had found their mark and the pirate had gone to the bottom of the sea. Th remaining part of the _ journey was wonderful. "I have said little of the hospitals to which I was attached because there is little interesting to be said. The R. A. M. L. is quite an efficient orâ€" ganization and the patients receive as great attention almost as they would in a civil hospital at home. The V. A. D.‘s lend very valuable aid in deed to she sisters. â€" 1 am sorry that lack of experience does not allow me to describe conditions nearer _ the trenches." Rev. F. M. Mathers Delivers Stirring Sermon at Patâ€" riotic Service. GANADA MUST UPHOLD HONOR The union services of the Presbyâ€" terian and Methodist congregations, which have been held during _ the month of August in the Presbyterian Church, were concluded on Sunday evâ€" ening with a patriotic service. . Rev. F. M. Mathers, B. D., pastor o(‘ the Methodist church,â€" who preached. spoke strongly on the necessity of‘ Canada upholding her honor by mainâ€" taining the forces at the front at the requisite strength, and expressed the opinion that conscription â€" was . the only way to do so. He alluded t o the promise made by the Premier, Sir Robert Borden, to the British authoriâ€" ties that Canada would contribute 1500.000 men, and it was Canada‘s duty he said, to keep that _ pledge. _ One \hundrvd thousand men were urgently needed to make good the wastage, )mhrrwino Canada‘s forces in the field ‘would gradually be reduced _ until Canada‘s representation at the front would be practically eliminated. He thought that by selective conscription one hundred thousand men or even more could be secured without impairâ€" ing the efficiency of the various inâ€" dustries of the country. As to the objections raised to conâ€" scription, he said that all the nations engaged in the war had secured their men by conscription, including _ the United States. _ AM#though it restrictâ€" ed the personal liperty of the indiviâ€" dual all laws did this more or less. It was necéssary to introduce conâ€" ‘nrlpflon in order to secure the neces sary men and to uphold the honor of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday, iug. 30th, 31ist, Sept. 1st, 4th, 5th Mean‘s and Youths‘ Suits Extra Good School Dresses $1.25 Corsets $2.00 Boys‘ and Girls‘ Stockâ€" Ings in a heavy weight, fine ribb, sizes 6 to c 10, on sale .. .... 25 D & A make, heavy coutil, lace trimmed, hose supporters, worth $2.75. to 42, values to $12.00, D & A make, in a heavy coutil, sizes 19 to 30, regâ€" ular $1.25. .
