London, England—The Canadian* have been aapaciaily i-onapicuou* in tha raids which hava become Ml mark ad a feature of winter oparationa in tha Went. Thaaa raida ara now *oma what impoving affair* and ona lataly reported penetrated to tha Carman third lina trench**. In an official re port of two Huch operation*, tha Can adian War Racord* Offica Hay*: Two vary successful raid* form the outstanding feature of Isit week's operation*. It hod been intended to undertake them an a .simultaneous operation, but conditions rendered a change advisable. The first raid was made at 4 :.'J0 p. m. by a New Hruim wick battalion. A mine" was success fully exploded close to the German trenches, and the attacking parties ad vanced under "over of an intense; bar rage and a screen of moke on the flunkit. Our men penetrated to the support line, meeting with no resis tance. A party of about .'10 Germans were met in a communication trench and chased to their dugouts, from which they refused to emerge. Had they done so their lot would have been hap pier; in a raid there is no time for j'ernunsion, and the dug-outs were destroyed by explosives. The enemy trenchm were found in a much-dam aged condition as a result of the mine explosion and our artillery fire. No prisoners were brought back. The raiding party returned to our lines at 5 p. m. The second raid took place at 7.45 n. m. the following morning, and was carried out by troops of two battalions from Ontario. The operation was sim ilar in most respects to the previous day's although on a somewhat larger scale. The enemy's trenches were ■cnetrated on • front of 800 yards to a depth of Uou yards. The condi tions were by no means ideal; the enemy's wire entaglements were ex ceedingly strong, and the wind was not in the most favorable quarter for the use of a smoke "creen on the flanks. Lastly, the kahki uniforms of our men stood out in clear relief on the background. As the attacking party left our trenches a machine gun opened fire from the ruins of a high building in the enemy's lines. It had scarcely fired a dozen rounds when a heavy shell silenced it for the. rest of the day. The wire presented .no diffi culties; so well had our gunners done their work that only a few strands re mained. Oiue in the German trenches, our men were complete masters of the situation. In the support line a small party of Germans showed some resis tance, but a short and sharp jluel with bombs ended in their defeat. Our ar tillery had played havoc with the enemy's trenches and our engineers L-ompleted the work of dostruction'with explosives, blowing up all remaining deep dut-outs and mahine gun em placements. At 8:45 a. m. the raiders were back in our own trenches, having in the space of an hour captured 100 prisoners, two machine guns, and a bomb thrower. The number of pris oners taken in this b'illiant opera tion constitutes a record on this front. These two raids, although carried r>ut 15 hours apart, from ore operation. They cannot be considered separately, nor be judged by the relative num ber of prisoners capturtd in each. The first raid distracted attentjon from the second, and was an essential factor, to its success. Our casualties were not heavy in proportion to the extent and succ«sg of the operations, and there i.s no doubt the German losses far ex ceed th» m, to s;i"y nothing of the demoralizing effects of the raids. _ The officers and men who took part tell many interesting stories. A Ger man qompany commander who was taken prisoner, when ordered to sur render, came up from his duft-out, calmly saluted, and inquired where he was to go. His sergeant-major fol lowed, and knowing well the propsensi ties of our men, held his helmet in front of him ready ff> effer on emer ing from his dug-out. In preparing plans, two of our men were detailed to cut additional lanes through the enemy's wire to facilitate the return of the party. As it happened this was unnecessary, the wire having been completely swtpt away by our artil lery. The men, however, obeyed their instructions and calmly stood up, snipping away lit the remnants of wire until ordered into the trench. This amusing incident affords a good ex ample of discipline. f.

"1U wan too clever k boy to turn out aa ha did." "Yes It'a too had, but aa to hu clavanieaa. I don't agree with you." •aid Mr. Smith. "Ha had a certain ability to,get tha baat and ot a bar. gaift; and yat maka it appaar to ba an i honest transaction. Ha wan expert at' PUttin® it ovar," aa the boya Bay, "You remember tha .lay. whan we' traded marble* T George Would coma to achool with a pocketful of cheap! chipped off marblaa, but before noon he would have them all traded otfTor (■erfect one*, 'l'he lioya could not tall how it was .lone, but George could, make them think it waa all right. There wan something mysterious i j ubout Ins examination paper*. The teacher knew they were not the re- J -ult of ntudy. She felt sure there! .was something dishonest alout them, but she couldn't find ojt whut!| George waa never .-aught in any school .Scape*; it was always the other follow who got caught and pun ished. George cei tuinly knew liuw to put it over the ie.it of us ut school. I Later when he becumo a clerk in! the grocery atore, he was very suc '■eshiui in disputing of ntule good*. He' would fill order with wilted celery and Wormy .iasins. and the proprietor* were delighted for there was nothing! jo thi ow away on Monday morning, j If anyone complained, George could1 always convince them thut the other! clerk hu.l filled the 6rder. He grew { more and more skillful in putting it over every ytnr. On account of his shrewdness, folks predicted that he had a great future! before him. and he became rather conceited. So he went further, and! began to practice little dishonesties with money, giving short change to customers who did not bother to count it. Of course there was another step just ahead—George tampered with the money drawer. He took just a little at first, and kept at it. He musi nave better clothes; he must spend myney more freely; he must keep a little ahead of the other fellow*. By that he had full belief that he coyld keepj on puttirfg it over everyone. "He tried it too often. We say it was the 'last time' that put him in the penitentiary; but I am inclined to think it was the first time; that he started in that direction during the marble trading day* back in the school yard, when he gloried in hi* ability to put it over on his school mates. We sometimes like to jump the hardl places, to cut across the field, and we ■ think we are making headway swiftly, | but the long cobble stone road of hon-1 esty will bring us in the long run, to a safe landing place. The ability to put it over isn't the best qualification for real success. Boy* like George,' even if they escape punishment, do' not become men to whom anyone in j Iheir community can point with pride. —^ outh's. Companion. Some Facts About the Presi dency. cJWoodrow Wilson is the Presi dent of the United States, reckoning Cleveland's two terms as sepu ate ones because he was the only President I serving twice who wa~ not re-elected..

They are Grant. Hayes, | Garfield. Benjamine Harrison, Mi Kin-1 ley, and Taft. Of all tb-; vocations in life ttv law j has furnished most Presidents. Nine-j teen chief executives of the United States were lawyers at the time they were elected. Three are classified &• statesmen; two as soldiers, two as farmers, one as a public official. Seventeen presidents have !>een col lege men; one was graduated from West Point, nine had no collegiate education. English paternal ancestry has pre dominated among the Presidents, fifteen were of English extraction. Six were Scotch-Irish, three were i Scoti h, two were Dutch, and one was j Welsh!
