M'Intyre writes of his experience m
the war wherein ho got wounded and
from which wounds he was recover

The letter is lengthy but as it
shows that war is helli some A ti
will however bear re-printing, it is
excellently written.
“We crouched down and waited
for the death which was so soon to
come for so many of our comrades.
There were bursting shells every
where, In front, behind, overhead,
and the air was filled with flying
shrapnel. In about fifteen minutes
word came for our captain who was
a doctor in civil life, to come on the
doublo as our Major had been hit.
About two minutes later word came
that the captain was dead, killed in

were coming down in the consisnt
rain of shrieking iron and some

landed on tho parapet and in the
trencn and gaping holes showed
here and there. I figured tha*. m.v
time to die had come, and I might
as well have a smoke first. 1 filled
my pipe and as I had no matches 1
asked an Irishman named Dawson
tor a match and when I saw the long
tace he gave me, I couldn’t help
laughing. He said "it’s a hell of a
time to think of smoking” but he;
handed me his box and I lit her
up. I just had three or four good
draws when a piece of shrapnel
knocked it out of my mouth and 1
haven’t seen it since. A moment
later there came a terrific roar and
In came our parapet on top of us.
The firing parapet gripped one of
my legs and I was half covered witn
clay and mud but I managed to twist
out my legs before the weight settled
on me, but poor Connew was buried
under seven or eight feet of debris
and his head under the firing plat-1
form. I yelled up the line for an '
axe and one came down at once and
I cut away three sections of plat
forms cutting through nails, sheet
iron etc. I felt I had the strength
of two men. As I worked I got his
head clear and one shoulder and
started to dig him out. He wasn't
ranch hurt and was perfectly con
scions and I talked and joshed with
him to keep up his spirits. There
was e post had him gripped above
the hip but I had put in several
braces before I dared cut the post.
When they were ready I asked Serge
ant .M’Garry who was behind me to
get an entrenching tool as I could
crawl under and use that in the
crampled space and he at once hand
ed it to me with the words "Just
what the doctor ordered, Mac”. Justj
as I had my hand on it there was
another roar right by my head and
something warm splashed over my
face. I was thrown down. The shell
took his head off from the eyes up.
1 was between M’Garry and Connew
not more than two feet from either
and they both were killed. A big
piece of shell tore into Connews face
and shoulder and, Merciful God, T
was buried alive under tons of mu&
and timbers. I could see lights,
flashing and thought the sea was
roaring over me, and Just as au
seemed over, there was a dull muff
led roar and the weight was nearly
thrown off me. Another shell had
landed (a high explosive) on top of k
the pile of dirt that pinned we down.
I pushed the remaining dirt off me
and 1 found that I was on top of a
pile of clay where the trench bad
been!
I was dazed and deaf and half
blind and it was just a horrible
nightmare. I thought I was in the
dark and as I went along helping
myself with hands, I put my left
hand into poor M’Garry’s head. I’ll
never forget my horror when I saw
what I did, and then I fell over aad
rolled down the bank Into a part ot
the trench which hadn’t been broken,
up. I lay thero for throe quarters
of an hour and didn’t know where
I was and 1 found a fellow crouching 1
near me. I tried to get up hut mv
left side seemed paralyzed and
thought my arm was off, and Cole; *
a chum of mine, told me not to move
as I was in bad shape. 1 was
covered from head to foot with mud,
blood and brains. When wo counted
up our losses, our squadron which
w^ about 74 strong going to action
had ten killed, twenty wounded and
threo insane. One officer and two
men were rs.ving maniacs. I was
hit with pieces of sharpnel on each
side of the head as well as on the
hand, had two ribs fractured and an
arm sprained. I suffered terribly
from the crushing experience during '
my “premature burial”. I am now
back from the hospital on light duty
.I guess X have seen my
last glimpse of Old Canada as I think
this war is good for another year
and if so there will be very few of
us who started will see the finish,
but a man couldn’t go a better way”.

WOULD FORCE ARBITRATION
IN RAILROADERS DEMANDS
CHICAGO, May 11.—Alarmed at
the prospect of a general strike or
railroad men and on the plea that it
would be a menace to the industrial
life of the nation, many newspapers
well known for their railroad sup
port are actively urging forcible ar
bitration lest the “prosperity of the
country be imperilled”. The railroad
men have such an experience of gett
ing turned down in all previous de
mands that they will not now volun
tarily arbitrate.
It is expected that a bill will be
introduced to force arbitration.
NOW GREAT HEAT.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 11.—The
