I HAVE FOR SALT Is It Possible For A Singer To Sing A Duet With Ile -melt TRAVELS OF A SOLDIER Very Interesting Description of Life in England The following interesting letter waft written by Corp. Geo. Elliott, a former Turnberry boy and son of Mr. and Mrs. W, D. Elliott NV are indebted to his ouubin, Mice Etrie Hogg, for the letter which wee coot to her, Isolation Rospital, Aldershot, Feb'y, 1ith,1017. Dear Effie and all; -- I received your letter some tinge ago and should have answered it long ago, but letter writing is ono of my many abort coming) which is the only excuse I have to ofter; but I will try to make amends new with a few lines. Probably if I would start at tbe be. ginning it would be better, and relate my little etory or what I have been doing from time to time. It wag just four months ago sestet'- day that we left' Camp Borden. Our trip through the Eastern provinces was rather enjoyable. We passed through Montreal in the early morning so did not see much of that place, We crossed the St, Lawrence River here. The lower part of Quebec province does not appear to be such a very prosperous place. The farms are long and narrow. The houees and practic- ally all the buildings are painted white. The people were not very enthusiastic over us is we passed through. But we had great receptions In Moncton, N. B., where we bei a short route march and at Truro, N. 8., wheee we etayed for a short time. Our stay in Halifax was very pleasant. We had the proud, privilege of being the first Battalion to be let off by ourselves to to go around as we wished. We did not see a great deal of the place and what we did eee was mainly around the water -front, and as a rule those places are notetery up -lifting. • The boat on which we came over was an anchor Liiie Streamer, the Oamer- onia. Shp is a very comfortable boat and about 600 feet long. Our trip over was not the pleatauteet but for all that it was very interesting. We had very little calm weather alt the way across, There were three vessels in aur group escorted by a French cruiser until about two days before we landed when we separated and each vessel was escorted in by a destroyer. They are very powerfully built boats about 200 feet long and can travel through the water at an enormous rate of speed. Some of them travel as fast as 45 knots per hour. As we neared the bleb coast the weather became very rough and at times the water on all sides of the boat would be mountains high, It seemed at times that the boat would never rtop.Waves were the Wa e we e coming over the desks all the r ime. We lost4 of our life -boats on the way over. So we were not at all sorry when we steamed up tbe Mersey River and Sanded at Liverpool after having 'been on the boat ten days. This is a very large city and I believe has the largest dockage in the world. But we caw very little of this place as we immediately got on board our trains which were waiting for us and funny little trains they are too. The engines are quite small, much smaller than any of ours and the cars are about the size of our city street cars. Tbe cars are divided into so many com- partments, each compartment having two seats running crosswise and the whole is able to accomodate six or eight persona. there ie adoor on each side. Thev run about as fast as our trains battle not ride se smoothtye. The tracks are well kept, there being a well trimmed hedge fence anent each aide. The fields are quite small but appeared to be in good condition. The fences are practieatly all of hedges. of the houses in the country y are quite )mall but everything around them is kept very Glean. There are very few barns as most everything is stacked outside. It is not an un• common thing to see 35 or 40 stacks of hay and they know hots to build a stack over here too. Practically all the roads over here are paved and they are great for marching. The sides of the road are very well kept too. There are all kinds of trees covered with vines. Lots of holly grows around hare, We arrived at Witley Camp in Surrey about 8 p.m. after having been on the train all day. It is a very good camp, one of the beet t have seen over here. There is not much mud, the ground being quite gravelly and sandy. But We were only there one week when we marched to Br ,mshott Oawp, a dletance of about six or seven miles,. It Was not so good acamp es Wirer on account of being so muddy. A few days after we arrived there we went on our six clays tante, Of•course all those who had nu friends or relatives headed for old London. We arrived there about 7 p. Ire and we were quire a lost banal, although I guess we all got bode that night. There are no street lights at all and everything is in darkneac. I did not' go around the city couch that night but went to a show. The next day I wont around the city and tem quite a number of pleees of tntereef, among Which were, The Strand, Picas dilly, ' Trafalgar Square, keieetiter Square, National Art Gallery.

These are some of the questione— questions in which every person of culture must take a deep interest -- that will be answered et tile Tone Test concerts to be given in Carnegie Hall, Lucknow, Friday afternoon and evening, March 30th. Requests for tickets to the concerts at which Ida Gardner, the brilliant and beautiful. concert contralto, will sing, have re.rn received from many parte of th;s coun- try already end.interest in the coming affairs seems to be keen. The appear- ance of Mise Gardner alone, of course would be sufficient to arouse the enthusiasm of music lovers here, but the fact that she will lend her superb voice to the laudable work of revealing conclusively that the marvelous achievement of the Re -Creation of musical souuds has been attained adds immeasurable interest to the occa tion. In the coming recital, which is being awaited eagerly • by those wbo a:e interested in mueio, M.iee Gardner will sing in comparison with her yoice as Re -Created by the New Edison, to enable those in the audience to judge whether or not the living voice can be made to live forever.

At times her living voice will be heard alone; at times she will sing in uuison with her Re - Created voice at times she will sing duets with herself, carrying one part, of her song with her living voice iced the other part with her Re•Oreeted voice.

Patterson Dear Mother: -- I suppose by this time you will have received my first letter written to you after I landed in Lngland. I hope you are fine and that Grandma ie well also, (the Grandma which he speaks of, was Mrs. George Peacock', who died on February llth, and passed to her Eter nal home.) I have seen quite a lot of Southern 1,ngrand now and can tell you a little about it. It is certainly a much different country to Ontario. There is no waste country here like there is in Canada, every inch of. the land is taken up in Agricultural put• poses. A farmer here perhaps hold ten acres of land. The fields are long and instead of wire fences most of them • are enclosed by hedges which are kept well trimmed, The country around Shorneliffe is composed mostly of small towns, Shorncliffe, Cheriton, Folkeetone and several others make up a large town. There are not many. soldiers here at present, there are only the A.M.C., A.8.0., and Artillery men stationed here, I was down at Folkestone on Wednesday eight to a supper given to the soldiers, It cer- tainly was good, and then they had a fine programme afterwards by the young ladies of Folkestone. We cer- tainly have fine quarters here and are given good mole, and good beds to sleep on. '''here was a meeting on Friday night in the Y.M.O.A. building which ie on tbe Camp grounds. There was singing, and music on the piano. The chief thing though, was a speech given by Captain Cameron, the Chap- lain, on "The War". It was very good and he does nob thing touch of the Germane, lie was over iu France and is home on a month's leave. I was at a preaching service this :Horning at the barrack's Church, Captain Camer- on preached the sermon. I went down street to Folkestone this afternoon. Theao were many soldiers down town, many of them being Belgian and French soldiers. I had supper at the X.1MI,C,A. and then I started writing this letter.
