TROUBLE 114 THE TRENCHES
The True Story of the Difficulty on the
Russian Front
When Slav arid Russ have raised a fuss,
And sent their Czar a -kiting,
Said Giveinski and Blathersi,
"We've done enough of fighting.
'I've got a cough," wheezed Killmanoff,
"From working in the trenches,
I'd rather fight, a doggoned sight,
Than put up with the stenches.
I want to quit and take a sit
In some place clean and brighter,
Let those who like come down the pike
To strafe a German blighter."
"I've got the itch", growled Dirtovitch,
Bog spavin and lumbago."
"I'm never dry," swore Goshallski,
I smell worse than a Dago."
"This cheese is high," grouched Buttinski,
"Nu hungry rat would eat it."
"This meat is tough," whined Ivanuff,
I think we ought to beat it."
"It makes me mad," stormed Hazembad,
"The prevalence of vermin."
"You've said it right," owned Gotabite,
"I'm lousy as a German."
Said Takemoff, "Our lives are rough
In these here blooming ditcheS,
But mine's the worst by half a verst,
Since some guy stole my breeches."
Their pay was back, their belts were slack
Each man his troubles blurted,
With empty guns to face the Huns,
Small wonder they deserted.

those present enjoyed a rare treat in hearing
his discourse. The Rector was assisted
in the service by Rev. Robarts of Gerrie,
Rev. Robertson of Seaforth, Rev. Clarke
of Goderich and Rev. Cornish of Forest.
Exceptionally good music was rendered
by the choir and a large congregation pre-

his services here. After the service the
members of the A. Y. P, A. entertained
the congregation and the visiting Clergy-

SIX DAYS IN 2EAUTIFUL ERIN
An account of my Recent Visit to Ould
Ireland
(By Pte. II, Bellamy)
The following is the first of Pte. Bele
lamy's letters on Ireland but was delayed
not arriving till after the second, which
was published recently;
Sincerny visit to Scotland last Fail I
have had an irresistible longing to visit
Ireland and the opportunity to do so carne
a short time ago on tile occasion of my
discharge front the hospital, when I was
given the usual twelve day sick leave. I
left Bushy Park on the 7th of July and
as my chief objective was the' Emerald
Isle I spent two days in Oxford the City
of Colleges, Birmingham, Crewe, Wolver-
hampton, Liverpool and different part of
Wales„ embarking on the mail steamer at
Holyhead on the Oth, but as my article
has to deal nith my Ireland visit I will not
go into details of my journey en route.
Arriving at Dublin from Kingston har-
bor on the evening train, I soon found my-
self deeply interested in the many sights
of thereat Irish eity and closely observ- onto, after visiting at her home here.

Interesting though the past history of to, are visiting at the home of Mr. Jas,
Dublin is, i is with the present sttste 'Haugh,
that I was interested, Dublin has not
only its past its romantic and historical
associations—to bbast of, for it is gener-
ally regarded as being a fairlimodern city
with wide streets and beautiful parks.
With a population of 370,000 within an
area of 8,000 acres and with handsome
suburbs extending for many miles in every
direction,,it is indeed a city which its
people are justified in being proud of, al-
though I cannot say that I was as favour-
ably impressed with it as with other cities
in the United Kingdom I have visited,
Many noble monuments to its distinguish-
ed citizens line its streets and its fame as a
home of art and culture is widely acknow-
ledged. It is the seat of Irish government
with a vice -regal court second only to that
of a Sovereign.

The city is divided by the Liffey,
which earns for Dublin a fair share of its
prospsrity, and my visit tche docks and
quays was indeed quite inteeesting,
ing often been told that a visit to Ireland
would not be complete without a jaunt on
one of. those world-famous Irish jaunting
cars, I made it a point to engage an out-
fit early the next morning and view the
city from an elevated position. So the
next morntog found me procuring the
services of a jay good-natured Irishman,
on Sackville street. And the experiences
which immediately followed I will never
never forget. How many of your reades
have ridden& tried to ride an Irish jaunt-
ing car? Those who have will know how
to sympathize with a certain novice on a
certain morning not long ago on the
crowded streets of Dublin in his conspic-
uous hesitation to mount the strange look-
ing vehicle, and who afterwards thought
as the bally thing commencedas journey,
that every bone in his body would inevit-
ably be dislocated. I have been in a lum-
ber wagon, a Ford car and numerous
other vehicles back in Canada in my time
have ridden in limbers over the rough
road to France and not long ago took a
short flight in an aeroplane at Barnes,
near London, but never did I experience
such a sensation, or series of sensations
indescribable in the extreme, as I experi-
enced the first few moments following my.
finally successful attempt in attaining the
seat of my "car." Where in the world to
put my .feet which were overhanging the
side for the public to gaze upon, and how
in the world I was ever to attain any de-
gree of comfort and enjoyment were two
problems I had to leave unsettled, as by
this time we were spinning over the cob-
bled streets of Dublin and the driver calm-
ly pointing out various places of interest
en route. By the time we had reached
the foot of Sackville street, where the old
Parliament Buildings could be seen on our
right. I had passed the third stage of
jaunting car "frightfulness" and thereafter
was able to settle down with comparative
ease although I entottld never recommend
a trip on an Irish jaunting car as a rest or
nerve cure for shell shock,
The old Parliament • House now the
Bank of Ireland, is a building of wonder -
ltd architectural beauty and it can safely
lee claimed that no other bank in the
world is as handsomely housed. A pecu-
liar feature of the place is that no Win -
dos are visible. ,
Facing the bank on the opposite side of
the street is Trinity College, where the
Irish Convention is now being held. It
occupies practically the hub of Dublin; is
built in Corinthian style and was founded
in 1591. The library is a wonder in itself,
containing, as it does, over a million vol-
umes. •
The National Museum end Library in
Kildare street claimed an hour of my at-
tention, exteriorly and interiorly. It is
promoted for the fostering of the arts and
indttstries and is housed in a very magnifi-
cent building. Adjoining it is the Natural
History Museum at the entrance to which
ie an met -mous statue of Queen Victoria.
