D. Porter, of Toronto, are in town for a few days. The knitting group for the Sir any Jerries who stumble on that hornet's nest! Leave him there for a few hours more and the trench will be deeper, the parapet and parados wider and there will be wire in front. In a short time hp will -have made himself a dug-out and be prepared 'to hold the place against all enemies, including winter and rough weather. ATTACK AND DEFENCE If he is attacked, he will put up a murderous fire.

Besides his rifle he and his pals in the platoon have a very effective armoury: the light machine-gun, the anti-tank rifle, the two-inch mortar, grenades. If he is there in force with his battalion, he will have the three-inch mortar, the carrier platoon, and the anti-tank and anti-aircraft platoons to help him blaze away. The volume of fire is terrific and makes him very strong in defence. In attack he is much more vulnerable. It is useless to expect him to make headway against a highly organized defence without a very heavy concentration of artillery fire, air bombardment, and the co-operation of tanks.

The tank itself was invented as a method of getting men through the withering fire which comes searing out from well defended positions the moment the attackers show themselves. But give him the right weight of support, hammer the enemy's positions with all you have, and send your tanks ahead of him and along with him, and your infantryman will play his part in the assault with a sporting chance of doing all you ask of him. There have been times in this war. as at Crete, when there were not enough planes to help him and his best bet for survival was his own naked courage. But those days are over.

When the foot-soldier goes into action now, as he is going in the dust-clouds of the Egyptian battle, there are planes enough and guns enough to do him better justice. Now he can get in close to clear out the Jerries and the Eyeties with his bayonet. The guns, the planes, the tanks are giving him the chance he deserves. It's bloody work he's doing, and REPORTED CAPTIVE Latest List Brings to 1,689 Number of Canadians Taken at Hong Kong Ottawa, November 6 The Canadian (Active) Army in its 200th overseas casualty list of the war today gave the names of 27 members of the Royal Rifles of Canada from Quebec who are officially reported prisoners of war as a result of the surrender of Hong Kong.

INFANTRY IS STILL BACKBONE OF ARMY (Continued from Page 15.) must consolidate and defend the points from which the foe has been driven and which must serve as a base for further action. If the counter-attack should come, he must beat it back and suffer the angry battering of the enemy's guns trained on the lost positions. Being the most generally useful man in the army, the infantry soldier is ready for the most varied assignments. He may fight with his regiment and be comforted amidst the hazards of battle by being shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of his comrades, extended together in life and death across some foreign field, yet bearing with them a fellowship of home.

Or the numbers may dwindle and he will be holding a post with his platoon, exposed, lonely, crouching with rifle or machine-gun in pit or shallow trench hastily dug hundreds of yards in advance of the lines. He may be one of a raiding party out in the darkness of No-man's land. He may be sent on some mission alone, as a runner perhaps, bearing an important message that must be delivered to its destination in spite of the shells, in spite of the sniper. The man who fights on foot has this advantage over fighting vehicles: he can move over ground impassable to them. With his feet and hands he can negotiate a terrain baffling to the most powerfully driven tank.

He can surmount tho most formidable obstacles. He can pass through thick woods. He can scale steep banks. He can cross rivers. Rocks do not stop him.

can go by day or by night He moves silently. He can find cover for himself. Where there is no cover he can make it. He is an adept with pick and spade. Give him an hour or two and he can go to ground.

He makes his weapon-pit sets up his machine-gun; covers the position with a scooped-out fire-trench, camouflages the up-turned earth with sod, foliage, netting, and then woe to Morse, asK. Valkenier, William Joseph, KYBt4U, Mrs. w. J. VaiKemer (wife), Sutton.

Honore Soudeyns, said x.e would go to l'Annonciation today and bring the president "back iu a hurry to discuss this thing." Mr. Souleyns, who operates a half-dozen cabs as a member of the LaSalle Taxi Association, denounced the new regulations as "unreasonable." "What's going to happen if we have to use our four gallons at the beginning of a rainy day and receive all kinds of emergency calls when we're out of gas?" he wanted to know. Alphorie Lemire, another member ef the LaSalle association, who operates 10 taxis, said there was no doubt that he would have to let an entire shift of his drivers go. "The new order," he said, "cuts us down to 45 per cent, of what we've been getting in gas. This means our cars can only be operated in rush hours and that we will be helpless on any very busy day." Most of the owners felt that public re-action to the cut in service, especially during the rush of wartime travel, would be severe enough to prompt reconsideration of the matter in Ottawa.
