We hope that the impression, which is evidently firmly fixed among business men, that their own efforts to keep up and increase our ex- ports--an absolutely vital thing for our national finances-are being gravely ham. pered by the sheer, incompetence of off- cialism is really exaggerated. But the evidence given, in some of thesus letters is not reassuring. We may cite two ex- amples given us. One refers to the re quirement for licences for shiptunts o Allied countries of woollens weighing be tween 18oz. and 3002. to the yard-no restrictions being placed on the shipractita A well of woollens of other weight. known arm recently applied for a licenes to ship to Russia some woollen goods coming within the category for which a licence is required.

As the firm point ont to us, the weight must- between 18oz. and obviously have been 360z or they would not have wanted' time in applying for lines at all. But this absurd inquiry comes after a week's delay, requiring another week per- haps for further correspondence, while the opportunity for shipping the goods may he lost.

The uther example refers to the arrange ments made for exports to Holland. We all know that, in order to prevent supplies reaching the enemy through Hai- land, it has been arranged that goods requiring a licence must be consigned to the Netherlands Oversca Trust at The Hague, and will only be licensed when the Trust has issued cer-ificate author- ising the shipment. This certificate in grantel only when the Trust has alisiel Italf of the bona fides of the Dutch in- definito porter, who must provide a gorate under a heavy penalty- point farther dealt with below not to. reforward the goods to an enemy destinat tion. The manager of the firm which makes the complaint writes as follows:-
A customer in Holland recently sent my firm permit from the Netherlands Oversea Trust for the importation of godds he had ordered from them. My firm for warded this permit to the War Trade De partment on the 9th inst,, and to-day-the 19th- my firm receive a communication re questing them to renew the application through the London Chamber of Com merce!
"I may mention that licences are some times granted without the intervention of the Chamber of Commerce, while in other cases the support of the Chamber is re- quired, a procedure nécessitating a declara- dion signed by the owner with samples of the goods atischéd (both in triplicate). These declarations and samples are examin- ed by a committee of the textile trades secting of the Chamber, and dealt with on their merits. Admitting, for the sake of argument, however, that this procedure is navoidable in war time. though the par- tácular goods in question could be of military value to the enemy, these pre- eautions are surely superfluous when the Netherlands Overses Trust has sanctioned the shipment.

We certainly cannot see why it should take 10, days to decide to put this firm to the apparently quite superduous trouble and further delay involved.

Round the stables theuset ves Germans wore bayoneted, until not a single enemy lived on this ground, and the light of day on that 8th of August revealed a bloody and torrible scene, not decent for words to tell.
The assaulting battalion had lost a good many men during the assault not too great a loss, they think, for the victory but the main ordeal came after the first advance, when the Ger main guns belched out a large quantity of heavy shells, apparently from the direction of Hill 60. They raked the ground, and tried quite vainly to make our men yield the position they had' gained
