LETTERS FROM THE FRONT
We reprint here a letter from Lance
Corporal Arthur Ellie, formerly of
Wingham, now with the British Ex-
peditionary force at the front, written
to his friend and fellow eoldier, Mr,.
Dave Lougheed,
No, 7147 B Co, lst. Buffs,
165h, «Rriga•Ie, 6th. Division,
Dear Dave;
At last I am welting you a few lines
in answer to your welcome letter, I
am sorry I have not written before,
but you must excuse' me, as we have
not had any time for writing lately as
we have been sapping out
diose to the
German trenches and it is a ticklish
job. We have made up au advanced
trench jest in front of theirs and it is
taking all our time to hold it as they
are continually bombing ue, but we
are a trifle better at that than they are,
for every one they put over to us we
give them two hack; not bad interest,
eh? It is a trying time for the men's
nerves, though it has not effected me
at all up to the present. The only thing
that effects me is the want of sleep.
No one is allowed to leave his post at
night and during the day, only a few
can get a sleep at once and then only
about four hours. I'll be glad when
we get away from it, for a rest, wash,
and general clean-up. shave not look-
ed in a mirror since the llth, but guess
when I do I shall scarcely know my.
self. There is a good few of the Cana -
diens buried just here and' plehty of
the Ross rifles lying about all broken
and twisted up, where the bombs and
shells have hit them. I found one the
other day all in good working order,
made in 1914. I should have saved it
it for a souvenir but you cannot
carry two rifles about, One of our
fellows last night. was shot through
the heart, after he was shot dead he',
was still standing, leaning against the li
front of the trench as if he were keep-
ing watch. It looked queer to see a
dead man standing up, but of nitrite it
was the position of the sand bags that
were holding him up. You can see'
some queer sights out here sometimes.
Three Germans were out on patrol one
night lately and in the dark they
mistook the trenches and came into
on^s, we saw them coming and every-
one
veryone kept very still and let them week'
right into the trench—of course they
never went back again,
When we first went into the trenches
befoie we left our billets they called
for volunteers to go out on patrol.
Three or us went out at 10 o'clock and
came back at 2 o'clock, I thought that
night it was all up with me, two went
up one side of a very thick hedge and
I went up the other, after I had gone
about one hundred and fifty ea -de I
ran into five big burly Prussian
Guards, I had just time to fall fiat on
my stomach and they passed close by
me, I could have caught hold of their
trousers as they passed. I got up and
followed them back down the hedge
and when they got to the bottom they
turned back so quick they almost
caught me napping again. They
walked past juet as close as they had
done before. It was lucky for me that
the grass was long for when on patrol
duty they all carry revolvers in their
hands ready for use, and generally
empty all the chambers in a fellow if
they can catch him alone.
I must close now,Will write alonger
letter when I get out of the trenches.
Remember me to all my old friends.
With love.
Atthur.

the time.
The first day we spent seeing the
sights of the city. The whole party
went for an auto drive, We visited
Golden Gate Park, the largest artifical
park in the world. Located at the
western end of the park are to be
found two great windmills of the
Holland type. The smaller one cost
twenty-five thousand dollars. We
also visited the Cliff house and saw
the -seals on the Seal Rocks, That
night we had r an interesting and,
thrilling (?) trip through Chinatown.
The Exposition Park occupies six
hundred and twenty five acres, cover-
ing a section, nearly one half mile
wide and two long, beautifully located
nn the south side of San Francisco
Bay. In the centre are the main ex-
hibit palaces and gardens; to the west
are the foreign and state pavilions, the
livestock enclosure, drill grounds, and
aviation field; to the east is the "Zone,'
the name for the eixteethres acres of
amusement concessions.
Fine arts, education,eocial economy,
the Liberal arts, manufactures, ma-
chinery, transportation. agriculture,•
horticulture and mines, all have their
palaces. The foreign nations are well
represented notwithstanding the war.
The Tower of Jewels, which is four
hundred and twenty.three feet in
height, faces a beautiful garden.
Upon the tower thousands of specially
prepared glass "jewels" scintillate like
diamonds and rubies under the power-
ful rays of light projected upon them.
Everywhere the courts and triumphal
arches are adorned with beautiful
statuary,
We decided unanimously thet the
Canadian exhibit was surpassed by
none. Those who did the planning
and arranging are very deserving of
credit and gratitude, They succeeded
well in conveying the idea of the
number and vastness of Abe wonder-
ful natural resources of our Dominion.
Pictures depicting scenes in eastern
and western Canada, constructed
entirely of grains and grasses, filled
the wall space. e. Man
who thought ht of
Canada only as the "Land of Snows"
must surely have a different idea after
visiting the Canadian building,
On leaving San Francisco, we fol.
lowed' the Northern Pacific route up
the coast. A two hour stop at §haste
Springs gave us a chance to taste the
mineral water and enjoy the mountain
scenery. After a day ain Portland,
Oregon, we went by boat from Seattle
to Victoria. We had a drive around
the city and left on the same boat for
Vancouver. During the two days in
that city we saw some of the big trees
in Stanley Park. It required eleven
people with their arms stretched out
to span the trunk of one of the large
ones.
We did not travel at night through
the Rockies, consequently could view
the scenery all the way.
A half day at Glacier was enjoyed
by all, We climbed to the glacier and
visited the cave excavated in the ice.
We spent another half day at Lake

A report is being circulated to the

the services of Mr. Phippen in the past

The truth is he has not been in the best

The Canadian Pacific Railway will

to the display of Canada's golden west
product, a new departure will be ad-

and of particular interest to farmers'
wives and daughters.
