Of course I,. had been there several times before and hevIng taken in many important places of interest, oould possibly fill many columns concerning London's big streete, her hundreds of ancient and historic buildings, White- hall, 81. James' Park, eyde Park, the Z o, •Embankment, Tower, C1'yetal Palace, St. Paut'e Cathedral, West- minster Abbey, her theatres, museums and other places of art and literature, as a Canadian cannot help but become thrilled apd inspired as he gazee upon all these things which go to make Lon, don famous and which the Germans would like to destroy; bat my visit thie time to the city was for a different purpose and that was to obeerve as closely as possible what effect this great war was having or making on the lives of thousands of people of all walks of life who throng London's streets, shops and theatres'. You will agree with me that this was rather e strange occupation for me to engage in, However what I saw convinced me forcibly that even after nearly three years of war, while a great many, I will say a great majority, have and are rendering invaluable service to the country in different ways, there are too many, far too many, who aro not only indifferent but who are "making hay while the sun shines" as it were, and are into it for what they can get out of it. Naturally you ask the question, "Why is this the cast?" or "Why do not the authorities utilize every ounce of strength for the na- tion's welfare?" I will not attempt to answer these questions but will pro- ceed to cite at once a few instances whieh will go to show bow the war has affected the daily routine of Lee - don life and what vast changes is has. wrought. LADY TRAINMEN After I boarded a train at the hospi- tal gates bound for Twickenham, a lady conductor, in a London United :Tramway uniform, collected my fare; at the Metropolitan Railway station, Twickenham, the booking clerk was a g.eybearded gentleman; the porter on the platform was an "unfit for service man"; the station guard was a middle- aged man and (he train guard a young lady, Alighting from the train at Waterloo station I looked around to obeerve how many of the fair sex were at work here and I saw dozens of girls attired in greasy overalls in the role of engine and car oilers and "tappers," several girl baggage "smashers" shov- ing heavy trucks loaded with trunks, express clerks and buffet counters, newetands and messenger offices with lady clerks and lady-chaffeurs solicit- ing for taxis. Going down into the underground tube I purchased a ticket from a lady booking clerk; the elevat- or operator wawa lady; no less than a dozen women were serving tea and luncheons at the free buffet for soldiers and sailors underground (there are hundreds such places in the city); my ticket was checked at the tube by a ,Cady and at my destination by another lady. The next day I left Waterloo via bus over land and here too were lady conductors. Going over Water- loo bridge ',counted no less than seven with carts and vans, three delivery wagons, eight autos. two talus and a brewery delivery van in charge of lady drivers. Still keeping my eyes on the ladies I strolled up to t he Strand and happened along at Charing Cross sta- tion, where motor ambulances were in the act of conveying wounded from a convoy jus,tin to the various hospitals. All these drivers, with two exceptions were ladies. In the warehouses, be - bine the counters, in offices and faot- oriee, everywhere one can see women occupying men's positions, Twice I saw street cleaning being done by women, but most of this of course is being performed by men too old for the army. TIIE LASSIES AT BASES IN PRANCE Approaching Trafalgar Square, the hub of the Dm irP I looked upand P > gazed in admiration at Nelson's mane• mont, and instinctively thinking of hie never -dying words, '•1ingland ex- petits every man Ibis day to do his duty," I thought of what evidence I had already sewn of loyal British men and women valiantly striving to de their duty, and looked round for fur- ther evidence right in the shadow of this great monument ea it were. On every side the vett crowds had a sprinkling of khaki and blue-- Tenn- mies and decks being either home on leave or just out of the hoapital. Crossing the Square 1 saw a group of khaki clad girl. ''Tummies" just home from France on leave, Attired in khaki shirts and tunics, puttees and heavy service boots. These lassies thousand of them, do cooking anti elerieal wort€ at the bases in 1;'rasee—in fact many do heavier work over there such as teaming, motoring and ears pennering. Later on, I saw three or four strong healthly looking lassies of the National Service C.rrps Who have been "down n on the farm" milking, weeding and dhirying and ere long they will be aeeiMing with the harvest They were attired in whipcord riding (Continued oa page 4) 111 \\1INGtIAM, ONT., THURSDAY, AUGUST 16th 1917 - ttittrutte THE DEATH ROLL Nis, W.

The feeling among the people, princi- pally the non-combatants, is that Ger- many with her allies will be victorious, and to that end is prepared to under- go any sacrifice, The German people openly admit that they have received many necessary supplies from their neighboring countries who have main- tained an attitude of beneficient neu- trality toward them. "Americans now in Germany are objects of particular insult," said Miss Brown, "since the Germans believe that they have been betrayed by the United States, It took me from May 9 to Jelly 4 to get out of the empire, and it was only through the kindness of Captain Hans Tauseber, husband of Mme. Gadski, that I finally obtained the necessary permits. "Captain Tauscher apologized for the impoliteness of hie co>antrymen, si.ying: "There are a lot' of dumz Ger- mans hero, and I beg of you to make allowances for thehih," Miss Brown said that she was public- ly insulted upon the streets, both by German men and women, Once, while walking on Under den Linden, she met an old friend and spoke to her in Eng- lish. A German woman, overhearing her, tapped her on the shoulder with an umbrella, exclaiming, "You are a Britisher 1" 1•No, I'm an American," Miss Brown answered. "That's much worse," the woman replied. "The Americans have betrayed Germany, but tbey will reap their reward, Got strafe die Vereinige Staaten l" Regarding the food situation, and especially the scarcity of meat, Miss Brown stated that while waiting for her necessary papers, she visited friends in Leipzig. It was impossiole to obtain meat of any kind there, or anywhere in the south, she stated, and the order had been issued to feed upon he animals in the world renowned Leipzig Zoo, 'lIt was , there that I bad my first . taste of , P meat," hent meat elle cr o make it tender it was boiled for sever- al hour°, having previously been chop- ped fine by a meat grinder. Even then it was far from edible. I was told by my friends that nearly all the animals had been consumed," Despite the high prices and food stringency, Miss Brown elated the German people were far from starving and with the present outlook could hold out for a year longer at least.
