;wauut expeuded in drainage la
ureter of a million donate. Ripe -
that all over Canada and it means „
very large amount. The farmers can
nut afford to pay 51 or 0 per cent. fo:
money to be invested in the drainage
of these waste lands. While I admit
that the condition of agriculture is im-
proving, I eay that it can be etill more
improved. No people in that ceuntry
are more deserving than the agricul-
tural claw/. Theirs is the bavio indust-
ry of this country, and they are cer-
tainly deserving of the attention of
any Government.
Int my opinion, the time for free
trade or a revenue tariff policy in thio
ountry has gone by. There was t+
time when it would have been posaible
to treat on free trade lines with the
United Statee. I refer to the time of
the terrnination of the R +ciprocity
Creaty of 1854, and that termination, 1
believe, wed brought about in 1880.
Che people of Canada, both Conserv-
',+vee and Liberals, asked for a renewal
of that treaty. It was of advantage to
Canada at Chet time—we had no ottt '
mar ket.. But we were turned dowc.
by the United State's. Ai a result the
tethers of Coutederation met and it,
18437 they laid the foundations uput,
which to build a great nation here ir.
Canada. In accordance with the priu
cip:.i adopted at that Confederation
we have built our transportation lines
east and west and are developing trade
along those lines. Are you going tt'
enter upon a policy that would ruin
the transportation lines of this coun-
try, disorganize trade and make ue
agent eubs.rvient to the United Suttee.
the very party that turned us down
when we wanted a favour? I any no.
I eay the people of Canada will nerve,
submit to suoh a policy; and any party
that goes to the people making any
such demand of them will be rejected
at the vary first opportunity.
In conclusion, it is to MO a *name
indec d to have the oppm tunity of ser
ving under the leadership of Rt. Hon.
Sir Robe t Laird Borden. Fie is a man
of whom title country feels proud; he

HERE is unfailing interest
these days in the stories of
life among the troops in the
trenches and on the battle-
fields of Europe, the more
so now that every Canadian has
relatives or friends in the scenes
where the greatest war in history is
being enacted.
One would imagine from a letter
received from a Canadian officer
serving with his contingent in
France that neither "Jack John-
sons" .tor the ubiquitous sniper, nor
the unceasing German bullets cause
him and Lis men so much concern
as the absence of cigarettes.
"A smoke at night now is a great
comfort, and it is hard to do without
one/' he writes, and then he adds:
"Possibly we are not entitled to 'n -

thing from the Imperial Government
or from the British newspapers, but
tho Canadian Government has evi-
dently not provided for us in this
way."
He goes on to point out that the
British Tommies get as many as 70
to 100 cigarettes a week, in addition
to tobacco, while in their own par-
ticular case, for instance, twenty
smokes are all they have received.
COULD HEAR THE "BOCHES,"
Only a few days ago this Canadian
company had the distinguished hon-
or of being face to face with a regi-
ment of Germany's crack army corps,
the Prussian Guards. So close were
they to one another that they could
hear the "Boches" talking in their
trenches and hurling abusive epithets
at their inveterate enemy, the Brit-
ish.
"They are splendid shots," writes
this officer, "and are very cunning.
Despite the fact that the peep -holes
in our trenches are concealed, they
actually succeed in firing through
them time and again. The other
day they tried to draw our fire and
locate our sentry by a clever display
of dummy figures, and had we fired
our volleys would have been return-
ed tenfold. This dodge, hosvever,
like many, did not work."

A GERMAN RED CROSS DOG.
He describes the journey to and
from their locations in the trenches
as one of their most dangerous ex-
periences. In one case these Cana-
dians have to pass some distance in
full view of the German trenches,
which are not more than 200 yards
away, and although they come and
go under cover of darkness, bullets
come whizzing around them. The
other night the company had only
just emerged from the danger scene
when the Germans turned a machine
gun on it for about a minute.
LIGHT FIRES WITH POWDER.
"No matter how fierce the attack,
the men in the trenches are kept
well nourished," writes a French
soldier. "Fresh n-t1.t, beans, lentils,

even within 100 yards of the enemy
receive the same, but tie tke com-

"What we need in the trenches
this freezing weather almost u ranch
as the food itself is heat. One night
our corporal came up to our squad
and invited us to come into his
trench at ruidnight fora cup of kat'
coffee. We laughed at the joke. Yet
we felt enough curiostty to go.
"Taking an empty can of tinned
beef, the corporal poured into It
some grease and olive oil. Re then
dug a little hole in as earthen ledge
he had excavated in the side of the
trench. In this bolo he plaeed °tke
lid of a can. The bullets were then
drawn from two cartridges and the
powder emptied into the lid. Our
cook next put a match to the pow-
der, `which flared up, poured in the
grease mixture and placed a pietas
of rag in the middle as a wick. Two
bayonet cases were stuck into the
earth aslant and met above to serve
as a crane for the tin bucket con,
taining the coffee. It seemed slew
work to us, but at last we drank our
piping hot coffee, which tasted to is
like nectar.
"Since then every man has takes
to the fashion of heating his meals."
FROM A DYING FRENCHMAN.
The most dramatic letters come
from the French. On one of the
Melds of battle, when the Red Cross
soldiers were collecting the wounded
after a heavy engagement, there was
found a half sheet of notepaper, on
which was written a message for a
woman of which title is the transla-
tion:
"Sweetheart—Fate in this present
war has treated ne more cruelly than
many others. If I have not lived to
ereate for you the happiness of
which both our hearts dreamed, re-
member that my sole wish is now
that you should be happy. Forget
me. Create for yourself some happy
home that may restore to you some
•f the greater pleasures of lite. For
sayself I shall have died happy in
the thought of your love. 2Iy last
thought has been for you and for

those I leave at home. Accept this
the last kiss from him who loved
you."
SAFEST IN THE TRENCIIES.
"The safest place at this war in in
the firing line," said a British sol-
i
dier who came back on leave. "It
is getting into the trenches or leave-
: ing them that men get hi'. Once
inside you're pretty safe.
I "Food is brought up once a day
i to the nearest convenient place be-
hind the lines, a farm or a shelter
specially rigged up. Two men from
each section are told oft or volun-
teer to go back and get the supply.
It usually is a mixture of hash and
beans and potatoes In a tin, and
when it is warmed up it makes an
Irish stew that sends a warmth
down to numbed toes and frosen
fingers.
'Sometimes the twenty -tour or
forty-eight hours of duty Ir the
trenches is varied by a German at-
tack. An odd sight, as the men who
have been through it say, those
dense lines coming on, falling, wav-
ering, breaking, closing up again,
lying down at the word of command,
rising on their knees to let off a
ragged volley, then down again, then
another advance, only to be stopped
at last by the absolute certainty of
death for every man if the attack is
not recalled. The British Martinis
rattle like an once full of type-
writers, the men fire till the wood
easing of their rifles is hot to the
hand.
"However close the ware of toe -
(den struggle it does not worry the
British soldier now. The new prin-
ciple is twenty-five yards of clear
ground in front of his trench, and
then; with one rine to every yard,
the British believe they can beat oft
any possible attack that can be de-
livered. That is the new principle.
Ie, fact, the British army bait ceased
to care much about having a big
field of fire in front of Ito trenches.
