'.There) le a regiment, for insraure, that 'Wes once attacked einsul- to ieously front and rear. It fought Mick to back, and ever since has worn its facings and its numerals fore and afl. Now when you see that regiment you don't know whether it in coming or gping. Then there is the tradition about. the salute, One of the first things d Ilritish private soldier is told, is that it is not the lean he salutes, but the uniform.. Taut t e Great Tradition is the moustache. It has come down from time immemorial. It started in the days before safety razors, It has been. handed dower from father to son. It has been groomed and petted and pampered and twirled, and it has been the source of great pride. About rhe time of Bonnie Prince Charlie it became official. The army regulations recognized it. Ever since then every officer has 'Iiad to wear a decoration on his upper lip, It has become a sort of frank in the service, much like the "On His Majesty's Service" printed in the top left-hand corner of the War Office envelopes. Butnthe moustache is no more. At least its official standing has gone. It is only semi-official now, Paragraph 1696 of the King's Regulations, just amended, makes it optional with an officer whether he shall shave his upper lipo. The Compulsory Moustache has been a source of great contention in the present war, Tommies have shud- dered at the thought of promotion because of it. The Red Hats, as the staff officers are called, debated it at mess when the French ordered their soldiers to be clean shaved because some one of the French High Com- mand had figured out that the French army was carrying, all told, about dye tons on its back, or rather its face, because of hirsute adornment, Now, the wording of unamended paragraph 1696 deserves mention. It is particularly adroit. It does not say that officers in His Majesty's ser- vice must grow moustaches. That would be difficult for some of the young subalterns. It reads that offi- cers in His Majesty's service must not shave their upper lips. In that, there's all tho.difference in the world, as Robinson could have told you. Robinson, who was only seventeen, but a Somebody, received a commis- sion when the General Staff was writ- ing "want ads" for officers. His colonel was a stickler for the regula- tions, and at least once a week Rob- inson would blush for shame when his commanding officer would bel- low: "I say, Robinson, when are you going to grow that moustache?" There aro many 'Robinsons in the new army. In the old army snotistaches ran into styles quite their own. There was the drooping walrus effect, for example, which gave one a particu- larly silly -ass appearance. It was affected by those of the seniors who hada failing for monocles. The moristache matched the monocle and vice versa. Then there was the moua,:tache that was drawn out into a long, thin, straight line at each end. The length of the ends depended upon the amount of moustache pom- ade the officer could afford. In the Guards the length was great because the olacers of the Guards were rich. In the Engineers the ends were com- paratively short bepause brains were considered more than money a,t Woolwich. Because pomade is not included in the—emergency ,ration served out when an officer goes on active ser- vice, the twirled ends disappeared in the trenches. Gradually the mous- tache took on a Charlie Chaplin architecture. The Red flats looked at it and at once ordered all the pomade in the world, only to find out that the pomade was' made in France and that the foreman of the factory and all the hands were at the front. Of course, there was nothing else to do but abolish the moustache after that, or at least to make it op- tional, which would amount to pretty nearly the same thing. It was too muck to inspect regiment after regi- ment of Charlie ahapiins, especially as the men began imitating their officers. In the army clubs now there is some talk as to whether the_navy also will come under the safety -razor re- gulation, In the navy one must be either cleanshaved or "fully furn- isLtcd,' 'as the paragraph reads. As result most naval officers elect to wield the razor, let their hairs fall where they may.—The Post. sae r� Wingham BazBazaar 1t 5Y1I AW li iVV'1M .

Myrtle Iroise, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. IL . Graham, was srtuck by the binder operaed by her father and received injuries resulted in the loss of one leg and the mutilating of the other.

The fields of France, the fields of France, how changed since yesteryear !. Once fresh and fair as Eden's vale, now grim and gray and sere; Where once the ploughman furrov's turn- ed, now tears the shot and shell, The cannon roar reverberates where rang the Vesper bell. The fields of France, the fields of France, once moist with morning dew, Now dank and dark with heroes' blood and stained a crimson hue; The smoke clouds hide the darkened sun and spout a leaden rain, And where the reaper's mirth came clear from out the golden grain Now Death with dripping scythe laughs loud'mid winrows of the slain.
