Feeding and otherwise supplying an army in the field is an enormous: task which is but feebly understood by those who are not actually engaged in the work. In addition to the belligerent army another army is attached to sup ‘ ply those engaged in the fighting with food and material to carry the fighting: on. ‘This work has to be continuous, and there is often peril atgached to it. Any failure in this arm of service might result in victory being ,zg:verted into disastrous defeat. l â€"â€"M.â€"de Maratray,‘ a French war correspondent well knowggon the British front, publishesâ€" someâ€"remarkable Agures, concerning the aupply services of l our armies in France. According to his statistics a single division requires every day approxmately 200 tons of material representing 450 tons of shipâ€" ping space. One goods train every two days is employed for its conveyance, apart from horse and motor transport. This is in "quiet" times, When inâ€" fiimo fighting is in progress, every mifle of front absorbs something like 2,000 tons of supplies a day, so that a big battle on a fiftyâ€"mile front necessitates the daily transport of 100,000 tons. The transportation of a division of troops calls for the employment of thirtyâ€"five trains; the rail traffic Involved in the siniultaneous moving of several divisions gives plenty of scope for the imag Ination. How this has been done with so little complaint heard is really a marvel. The London Advertiser suggests that Dr. Beland be given a portfolio in the present Dominion Government in recognition of his work in behalf of the Alles in Bdigium in the early days of the war and as a mark of affection on w part of the Canadian people. ‘The appointment of the former Postmasterâ€" neral in Sir Wilfrid Laurier‘s Government would be hailed with pleasure h Camadians everywhere, who are familiar with the story of this national Rero, a step in the direction of Dominion cabinet reâ€"organization {or which the people have long been walting. @vening ~ ‘The man who can worry about next winter‘s supply of coal !hese_,dnysi must be a confirmed pessimist in the opinion of the London Advertiser. l The weatherman has been attempting to make it hot for the people in thesé parts with considerable success, but it will be next winter when the people will be called upon to make it hot for the weatherman. .With the sinking of 150 German submarines during the war, as was @unounced by Premier Lloyd George in the British House of Commons, l)iéfe havé been 150 Uâ€"boat crews who found a watery grave. No wonder file German sailors object to manning the submarines at Kiel. The Kitchener and Waterloo bowlers were very generous in allowing the Twinâ€"City Bowling.tournament trophies to go to Paris, Blyth and Guelph,. ‘The German soldiers have commenced to plunder King Albert‘s private belongings in Belgium, but the brave ruler will not worry as iong as the kaiser does not succeed in stealing King Albert‘s country. + _ Because of the conditions enumerated in the above paragraph, the Cana da ‘Food Board urges on the public the necessity for further voluntary re atrictions on the consumption of sugar in private households. The reason for the curtailment is to build up a reserve against possible emergencies. It is pointed out that conservation is a necessity and that on a greater scale than has previously obtained. The question is an important one. __ A number of causes have accumulated to make the sugar position more difficult than could be anticipated at the beginning of the year. The increas @d shipping required to transport soldiers and~to provide for their needs has mécessitated the cyrtailment of sugar transportation, particularly from the longer voyages, and has thus reduced supplies both to the Allies in Europe and to the people of North America from remote markets. Some of the acces sible sugarâ€"producing areas have proved a less yield than was anticipated such as certain West Indian Islands. The sugar beet crop in‘the United Stat @s and the Louisiana sugar crop have fallen below antfcipation. There has been some destruction of beet sugar factories in the battle area of France and Italy. Moreover considerable sugar has been destroyed recently by sub marines. Despite these considerations, there is expected to be sufficient mugar for every economical use if the people of Canada will do their part in curtailing extravagant use of sugar and discontinuing unnecessary uses. The standarization of fire hose couplings is a large question which h. engaged the attention ofâ€" Canadian fire chiefs at their conventions. Effort to secure legislation to compel standardization of equipment have, however falled, owing to widely varying equipment in different cities, much of whic} would have to be scrapped in the event theâ€"legislation was passed. â€"â€" ‘The sfandarization of fire hose couplings in the towns of Waterloo Counâ€" #Â¥ is one of the iessons of the conflagration at Eimira this week, to heip quell, which the Kitchener and Water Brigades were called upou. The fact that the th Coupling: e Waterioo fire hose was not the same ‘as those itchener and Elmira might have caused serious h'h’. hgd it become ry to couple thein together, which fortunate‘y 3t was not. Similar di might be experienced in case of a call from New Hamburg, Preston, Galt, or other nearby town. The matter is ope that should receive the attention of the Boards of Trade and Fire Chiefs with a view to standarization of fire hose equipment in Waterloo County towns. This cireumstance should not, however, interfere with local action where such radical and costly changes may not be involved. flflfiwmwiumufl mored Vars and Fanks Have Reached Within Mile a e is possible.

Cavalry patrols, accompanied by the swift "Whippet" tanks are reported by the airmen far out ahead of the infantry advance. The infantl?' at many places was apparently checked only by sheer physical inability to push any further. This afternoon enemy‘s transport lorries have been reeling along the few good roads left in the Somme valley.

Schwelâ€" ger who commanded the submarine which gunk the Lusitania, was himâ€" self last with the Uâ€"88 which was deâ€" stroyed by British marines last Sepâ€" tember. Falls View was the most advantageâ€" ous point from whick to watch the rescue. Thousands of people massed on the river bank. Similar Accident 75 Years Ago. Old timers recall that about sevenâ€" tyâ€"five years ago a man named Avery went over the Falls in an accident similar to this one, only it ended less luckily. â€" Avery â€"and anotherâ€"man got adrift> in a punt in the upper river. and were caught by the current and carrfed towards ‘the American Falls. Avery‘s compunion decided to take a chanee,> according to the historians, and jumped into the river, being im:â€" mediatety cartied down by the underâ€" current and drowned. > It would have been better for Avery bad he tried the same thing. His punt stuck on a rock near where the present bridge to Goat Isiand is, and there it hung for 48 hours, while every nossible means was used to rescue him. Finally the punt broke loose and went over the fal‘s. and Avery lost his life; after suffering untold mental â€" and bodily anguish almost within reach of helping hands. Till late into the night thousands of people continued to watch the operaâ€" tions of the rescuers, lined along the bank on the Canadian side and at Comt Island.. The searchlights which played on the scow and the vicinity all about made 4t as light as day. Prepared For Last Chance. The Awo men spent the night work ing bard. They rigged up some barâ€" rels with ropes, into which they in tended to get and trust to luck that the ropes would hold them in case the scow broke away and headed for the cataract. This would give them one chance for life anyway, though a very slim one. The basket was then sent back over the cable for the waiting Laperg, who was brought over in quick time too not much the worse for his terrible experience. "You would smile, too, if you had gone through what I have and got out alive,." he said to the rescuers: "But say. hustle and get poor Gus. He‘s a brick. He made me go first, because he said he could hgndle the ropes." Harris was examined by a doctor and then hustled off to his house scross the river. So George Harris, one of the men marooned in the scow above the Canâ€" adian Falls since yesterday afternoon. made his way into the basket slung on the life line, and was tolisomely pulled to the bank by the rescuers. At times the basket dipped into the turbulent rapids, and Harris had \ a rough time of it. He was smiling when he finally was taken out of the basket onto the roof of the Toronto Power Company‘s buiiding. Over the Cable. RIGGED UP BARRELS go ahead, Geor said Gus Laperg Swede, aged 1 â€"eight, to his scowâ€" mate, George rris, this morning "I‘ll stay beb and man the ropes. I know how to handle them better than you."
