Letter from Brussels, Belgium
DEAR UNCLE WILL.—The tempta-
tion to make this a letter from one
Kerr in one Brussels to another Kerr
in another Brussels got the better of
me. Came over yestehday ft'om Mons
in a motor lorry with 20 other chaps
and am having a wonderful time.
This town isn't a speck like your
Brussels except that it too has houses
streets and people, There the re-
semblance ceases.
I have seen quite a few cities now,
both in the British Isles and in France
but this is by all odds the finest of
the lot. The streets are so wide and
so clean, the houses so pretty and well
built, the shops are wonderful, the
hotels better than London or Paris,
the trains, the best I have seen on
this side the Atlantic and altogether
it is splendid. Just now everything
is decorated—trains, houses horses,
shops statues, fountains, all have flags
and bunting of red, yellow and black,
Prices are terrible, half decent pair
of boots cost from 200 to 350 franca,
or roughly from $40 to $55. A pouud
of coffee costs 80 fes, or $16., a suit of
cloths is cheap at 20110 fee. or $400, and
so on it goes. I saw some beautiful
looking chocolates to -day so went in-
to the stove for 5 fes. worth or $1.00,
I got 4 chocolates, so did not repeat
the °'dere . A meal, with enough to
eat, costs from 20 to 60 fcs. depending
ou what you have.
The cafes here open at 10 p. m. and
close at 5 a. m. and there are more
people on the streets at midnight
than at 6 p. m, I cannot undet'stand
why people wish to change night iuto
day, I have not had a chat with
Albert King yet but am crazy enough
to go and call on him.
Now this will be about all I think.
We are More than appteoiatiug a good
rest after fighting hard and steadily
since Aug. 3131x. We lost a lot of men
but our break throughs first at
Amiens, later in front of Arras and
then at Cambrai made the war end
as nothing else could. A German
officer prisoner told me that the blank-
est day in their books during the
whole of the war was when we, the
Canadians, broke through at Cam-
bial on Sept, 27th this year,
I dear frequently from home and
franx them the Linings i3) Binsae(5, 0130.
Tenet. that you anti Aunt will. ire
"going strong" and that you are en-
joying the beet of everything, Kind-
est xegards to Aunt Nell.
LIEUT. C. H, KURR.
Where Are Yat,, Dear Header!'
With regard to lnunicpai affairs,
the peopie of a town can be classified
about as follows :—
(1) The man who ex'itieizes, the
council f1'om first to last, but refuses
to help matte things better by taking
18 seat at the council,
(2) The man who gives the council
a reasonable support throughout the
year, although he declines to be a
candidate,
(8) The man who has the munioip-
al "bee (u his bonnet and is a paten•
vial candidate,
(4) The man who would like to be
a candidate but wants to be coaxed,
(5) The man who is willing to take
a seat at the council if the electors
really want hint and think he ears
give them good service.
(6) The loan who doesn't pay any
attention to municipal affairs—except,
perhaps, evllen he pays hie taxes or
wants a new sidewalk on his street,
(7) The man who loops up 1,0 a
town Councillor as a sort of doily,
takes off his hat to a member of the
council wlleoever he meets him, and
considers it 818eriiege for any person
to criticize the doings of the council.
(We put in this last to matte the
seven ; there isn't any moll kind o1
luau nawatlays,)
