WOMEN IN THE WAR -ZONE Stolid Attitude of French Peasants Amid the Dangers of War. Nothing is more amazing to the soldier newly arrived near tho fight- ing line than the attitude the peasants of France adopt towards the war. One talus of the phlegmatic British, but few people could be more phlegmatic than the French workers on the land. Let Ise take you into the arena of war. We are leaving the cobbled market square of the shell -shattered little village three miles behind our trenches. The dusty lane leads from the square to the close zone of war. A5 we walk along there is the wouff, woul'1•! of the German Archtes, shelling one of our patrol aeroplanes. We gaze up, to see the black bursts dotting the sky—to see our airman skilfully banking and twisting to avoid being bit. The young corn, waving green on each side of us, presents the false idea of peace. There are women - workers here and there on those field, basks bent to the scorching sun, their heads protected by huge straw sun- bonnets. They do not loop up. A well -hidden Ilritish battery lime a half -salvo, It makes us start. To those brown -faced daughters of France it is the common event of the day. The fall of an anti-aircraft "dud" creates interest for them only if it falls a few yards from then. These French people, who live their whole life in communion with the silent, waving fields are so nega- tive. We wonder why they aro not the volatile people we anticipated. Our soldlors are wearing steel helmets and gas.masks, but the peasants would not be encumbered with any such pro- tactlon, Ther Whole demeanor seems to sug;eat a certain fatalism, "If a shell is meant for us it will bit us, no matter how If e we vs 01 wha t , weo," mental t is their attitude. Thee young French women are wondorfuI' Wberevor you go it la the same. They are ftp at sum's e; and work incessantly until dark, There ern no intervals for food, orpractfcally none. A. dozen shells may drop in the field where they are at work. They do not chow their alarm, although they must feel frightened. Their meufolk are at war and 0e- casionally they come back from ureic part of the line to their tiny thatched college homes, still 'in the danger - sono. We marvel that they should got get to falls, er 'as fol' away from alto war as possible; but war cannot destroy the ties of borne, go they come back here to spend their leave within 0011nt1 of tl'a gaud.

Did it ever once possess you As you walk Lite path of life That no matter what besets you In this world of toil and strife There are others just as bad If even not worse off than you, And though you suffer hardship Others suffer hardship too? Learn to take things as they come, This world is not so bad; You will never miss the little things That you have never had. Though trials and canes beset you, Why, just perk right up and smile— For this thing of feeling downcast Is not even worth the while. So if you think you're out of luck Just budk up, boy, and grin; Dismiss dull care, display your pluck And you are sure to win. And remember through life's journey, Ere your fate you would bemoan, That tho world smiles with the smiler Anti the griever grieves alone, L Eggs In Newspaper.
