THE WORLD'S WAR THROUGH A

Description of Life in Olt } London
Under the Shadow of that
Great Conflict.]
In London we don't talk any more
about "earning out bread -and butter."
No, indeed! It's "earning our oat -
mime and margarine!"
Our minds are getting extraordine
arily economical, too, writes Ellen
Adair early in May. At a dinner the
other night I heard a men remark,
casting a meditative eye on the soup
tureen: "Good heavens! Look at all
that perfectly good 'steam running 30
waste 1"
And I hear that an enterprising
tradesman is going to put a cheap
magnifying pair of spectacles on the
market—"for use at meal .times."
Afternoon=teas-in-town are things
of great disappointment now. I con-
fess
onfess I used to love the London after.
noon-tea-in=town. But now the "re-
strictions" are so complicated!
To begin with, you get your little
sugar "allowance." If you're lucky
and the waiter's nice, you may get two'
small knobs. Then comethe sandwich
"rations." "Sorry, madam, you're only
allowed two!" says the "garcon" sym-
pathetically. And this bathe most ex-
clusive London tea -place!
Flag Days Galore!
Flag days are always with us. t
every turn one is buttonholed by some.
sweet young thing—tray dangling, in
front of her, the smile of the prover-
bial siren on her lips—and patriotic-
ally endures the pinning -on of.the said
flag and the handing over of good
English money.
A flag.fiei5d of my acquaintance s
delighted at the entry of so many ne
allies into the war, "We shall onI
be able to allow them half: a flag d
soon," she says, "or there won't
enough' 'days' in the year to go round."
I know a brainy young man who h
invented a sheet of cork that fits over
the lapel of his coat and so prevents
the "ancient pincushion" appearance
it has worn since the flag craze cam
in.
A young airman crashed to earl
while flying near his home in Londe
His father—who did not, of course,
know that the victim of the accident
was his own son—rushed to his aid
and helped to extinguish the flamin
machine.'
"Shall I ever fly again?" the nine-
een-year-old flight lieutenant asked
e doctor,
"I hope so," was the answer,
though the doctor knew there was n
ope.
The airman died soon after.
In Prison Camps.
The miseries of prisoners at the
risoners' camp in Soltau, in. Germany,
re causing much talk in London just
ow. A Belgian soldier who escaped
as thrown additional sidelights on
the harrowing stories.
There are 80,000 prisoners, and a
reat number of them have to work in
wamps, with their feet in water the
hole day long, whatever the temper
tune or weather may be. Not only
re they badly fed, but the German
etty officers strike them with the butt
nd of their rifles and kick and othbr-
Ise misuse them.
Many more are sent to work in the
ines, where the treatment is partfcu-
arty brutal.
"If we ever refused to do more work
rough utter exhaustion," said the
called Belgian, "we were either de-
ived of food or tied to posts for six
urs at a stretch!"
"Another faJorite puniehmtentwhich
e Huns delight in inflicting is to
aka us stand perfectly still for an
ntiie day, the face exposed to fierce

"In Soltau we received neither meat
