I remembe • that march in the l! ht of (Jur later experiences, in the light of the official report of the total 13z•it- islh casualties at Loos: sixty thousand British lads killed, wounded, and miss- ing. Marching four abreast; column of casualties 'miles in length. T see them plodding light-heartedly through the mud as they did on that gray September clay, their faces wet with the rein, ' an' a bloke etendin by the side pf the road would think they was a-go'n' to a SundaY-school picnic." The sergeant was in ,a talkative mood. "Liesen to them guns barking We're in for it this tin e;_straightf'� Then, turning to the men behind, - "'Ave got yen wills made out, you lads ? You're a-go'n' to see a scrap presently, an' it ain't a-go'n' to 1e no flea -bite, I give you my word!" # "Right you are, sergeant!

I don't want to 'die! • I --want to go 'omei" It is one of the most plaintive and yearning 'of soldiers' songs. Jack Johnsons and coal -boxes are two greatly dreaded types" of high ex- plosive shells which -Tommy would much rather sing about than meet. "Wite," the sergeant said, smiling.' grimly; "just wite till we reach the end o' this 'ere march! You'll be -a- singin' that song out o.' the other side o' yer faces." We halted in the evening at a lit- tle mining village, and were billeted for the night in houses, stables, and even in the water -soaked fields, for there was not sufficient accommoda- tion for all of us. With a dozen of my comrades I slept on the floor in the kitchen of a miner's cottage, and listened, far into the -night, to the con- stant procession of motor ambulances, the -tramp of marching feet, the thun- der of guns ,the rattle of windows, and the sound of breaking glass. The following day we spent in clean- ing our rifles, which were caked with rust, and in washing our "clothes. We` had to put 'these, still wet, into our packs, for at dusk we fell in, in column of route, along the village street, when our officers told us what was be- • fore us. 1 remember how vividly and honestly one of them described the situation, • "Listen cetefully, men'. We, are moving off in a few moments, to take over captured German trenches on the left of Loos. No one knows yet just 114N HALL,, how the land lies there, The reports we have had are confused and rather conflicting. The boys you are ging to relieve have been haying a, hard. time, Tho trenches are fullpt dead. Those who aro left are worn out with the strain, aid they meed sleep. They won't care to atop long after you come in, so you must not expect much in. formation from them. Yo"fewill have to find out things for yourselves, But I know you well 'enough to feel eertain'that you will. From now on You'll not have iteeasy. ' You will have to sit tight under a heavy f!re from the German flatteries. You will have to repulse counter-attacks, for. they will make every effort to retake these.trenehes, Bet remember! You're -British soldiers!. Whatever happens you've. got to hang oh!" ` We niarched•dawn 'a roadnearly a fo't deep in mud. It had been churn- ed- to a thick paste by thousands of feet and all the heavy wheel', traffic affic incident to the, business of war. The rain was still coming down steadily, and it was pitch dark, except for th reflected light, on the low -hanging clouds, of the flashes from the guns of our batteries and those of the bursting shells of the enemy. We halted frequently, to make way for long files of ambulances which moved as rapidly as the ` darkness and the awful condition of , th 'roads would permit': I counted twenty of them during one halt and_:tiieli. stopped; thinking gf„the fain of the poor fel- lows "inside, their wounds wrenched and torn by the constant pitching and jolting. We had vivid glimpses of them by the light from flashing guns, and of the Red Cross attendants at the rear of the cars, steadying the up- per tiers of stretchers on either side. The heavy Garrison artillery was by this time' far behind us. The big shells went over with a hallow roar like the sound of an express train heard at a distance, Field artillery was concealed in the reins of houses on every side: The gtfns Were fir- ing at a tremendous rate, the shells exploding several miles away with a sound of jaring thunder claps. In addition •to the ambulances there was a constant stream of outgoing traffid of other kinds; dispatch riders on motor -cycles, feeling their way cautiously along the 'side of the road; ammunition supply. and battalion transport wagons; the horses rearing and plunging in the darkness. We approached a crossroad and -halted to make way for some batteries of field pieces moving to new positions, They went by on a slippery cobbled road, the horses at a dead gallop, In the zedlightnings of heavy -gun fire they looked like a series of splendid sculp- tured groups. - We moved on and halted, moved on again, stumbled into ditches to get; out ofeethe way of headquarters cars and motor 1•orriee, jumped up and pushed on. Every step through the thick •mud was taken with an effort. We frequently lost etouch with the troops ahead bf us and would have to march at the double in order to catch up. I was fast getting into that despondent, despairing frame of mind which often yfollows great physical weariness, 7 AVINIt ..•l t • 2f?Fp SM^ M lytf,F' k, �5• Leave it to Parker HE. postman and expressman will bring, .

And I found it to be practical wisdom which stood mb in good stead on more than one occasion, We halted to wait for our !trench guides et the village of Yermelles, about three miles, batik of our jinn, The men lay down thankfully in the mud and many Were soon asleep de- spite the terrific Noise. Our batteries; concealed in the ruins of houses, were keeping up a steady fire -and the Ger- man guns were replying almost sa }hotly. The weired flashes lit up the shattered walls with a fascinating, bizerre effect. lay their light, 1 saw men lying with their heade thrown back over their peek -sacks, their rifles leaning across- their bodies; others standing in attitndes of suspsended animation. The noise was -'deafening. One was thrown 'entirely upon his own resources for comfort and com- panionship, for it was impossible to 'converse. : While we were waiting for the order to move, a homeless dog put' his cold nose into pay hand. • I patted him and he crept up close be - ;side me. Every muscle in his body was quivering; I wanted. to console him in his own language, But 1, I ' knew very little French, and I should , have had to shout into his ear •at the tap of my voice to have made -my- � self heard. When -we marched on I lost- � , him. ' And I never saw him again. There was a further march of 'twee • a.nd el half ' friiles over bpa1i iibiintry, I I the scene of the great battle• The ground' was a maze of -abandoned I trenches and was pitted with shell holes. The clay was so slippery and we were so heavily,' loaded that we fell down at every step. Some of the boys told me afterward that I cursed like blue blazes all the way up. I was not conscious of this, but I can readily understand that it may have been true. At. any rate, as a result of that march, I lost what reputation I had for being temperate in 'the use of profanity. We crossed what had been the first line -of British trenches, which mark- ed the starting -point of the advance, and from there theground was cov- ered with the bodies of our com- rades, men who had "done their bit," as Tommy says, and would never go home again. Some were huddled in pathetic little groups of two or three as they might have crept together for companionship before they died. Some were lying face downward just as they had fallen.' Others in attitudes revealing dreadful suffering, Many were hanging upon the tangles of German barbed wire which the heav- iest of bombardments never complete- ly destroys. We saw them only by the light of distant trench rockets and stumbled on them and over them when the darkness returned. It is. an unpleasant- experience, marching under fire, on top of the ground, even though it is dark and the enemy is shelling haphazardly-, We machine gunners were always, heavily loaded. In addition to the usual infantryman's burden, we had our machine guns to carry, and our ammunition, -water supply, tools and instruments, We were very eager to get under cover, but we had to go slowly. By the time we reached our trench we were nearly exhausted, The men who we were to relieve were packed up, ready to.mpve out, when we arrived. We threw our rifles and equipment on the parapet and stood close to the side of the trench to allow them to pass. They were cased in. mud. Their faces, which I saw by the glow of matches or lighted cigarettes, were haggard and worn. A week'sgrowth of beard gave them a wild and barbaric ap- pearance. They talked eagerly. They were hysterically cheerful; voluble from sheer nervous reaction. They had the prospect of getting away for a little while from the sickening hor- rors: the sight of maimed and shat- tered bodies, the deafening noise, the nauseating odor of decaying flesh. As they moved out there were the us- ual conversations which take place be- tween incoming and outgoing troops.

Far the most interesting and curi- ous use to which an animal in war is subjected is the use of camels, chosen and trained because of.' their strange coloring and height. Small groups of them have been sta- tioned among clumps "of acacia trees, with a epy mounted on to camel's neck. This is the safest iilaee a person could he, for •cite camel or giraffe, standing with only his head above the trees, looks precisely like a bit of the fell - ago in the distance.

GUARD OF - ,KINGS DIES IN LONDON NQT111D ORMISki I B' IEC'TIYB QF B1XGEj1 J!IONA i 7."A,14EN'i", Wiitiain 14Ie13'111eg Was s a Terror to the 'underground World' of Creat Metropolis. One of 'the most fainoos of British detectives, and a man wile probably knew more about the international political underground world of Itondon than any other man of his time, died recently, in the person of William Mel- ville, says a eorrespondent. An Irishman from Kerry, he joined. the force as an ordinary pollee aeon - stable, and in his progress to the chief superinteildentship of the'"special" or political branch of the Critninal Ili- vestigation Department at New Seat - land Yard he had to deal with dyna- mite and• anarchist plotters through very troubled times. .A:\ typo of the straight, up-to-date detective, employing modern methods, he was never afraid to adopt any new idea that would help him in the ,sue- cessfel carrying o(it-of his work. He always recognized the power and use- fulness of the press in criminal in- vestigations, and he was never "given away" by any journalist. One of .his invariable duties was that of acting aL, eernne.te t •c -ii;ilg' royalties. rWhei.,i,he ex -Czar of Rus- sia visited Britain, a few weeks before his marriage, under the able guidance of Melville, he was made acquainted with every phase of the criminal life of the worst areas of London, both East and West. Night -after night, in company with his expert ggide, the ex - Czar threaded his way in and out of the unsavory'* haunts of the criminal fraternity, particularly the political criminals of the anarchist type, and never • once did he suffer any bodily harm. Nips Piot to Kill Kaiser. Whenever Queen Victoria and Ed- ward VII. visited the Continent, -de- spite what their, mission may have been, the famous detective accompan- ied them, wherever they went. And, there is a story that he discovered and circumvented at the last moment an anarchist plot to kill the kaiser during his progress through London. Naturally such cl1ientele were not slow to show their appreciation. The Shah of Persia astonished him by cas- ually presenting him with one of the largest turquoises in existence. Mem- bership of the Victorian Order. was conferred on him in 1903, and only a month before he died he was created a member' of the Order of the British Empire, while France, Denmark, Portugal, Italy, Spain and other coun- tries bestowed decorations on him. Melville's department in the early days dwelt almost exclusively with the Irish American political offenders, and subsequently with the anarchists. His great proficiency as a linguist, an attainment he had acquired abroad while "keeping an eye" on the ports, was of the utmost service to him ' in London when he was canal upon to watch the doings of a horde of for- eign criminals who arrived after be- ing- driven out of their own countries: In the course of these duties he suf- fered a number of narrow 'escapes from death or injury at the hands of the desperate criminals he was suc- cessful uscessful in arresting. Probably one of his narrowest "shaves" was wheli he captured Menunier, who had killed -several people at the Cafe Very in Paris with a bomb. Melville recogniz- ed him at Victoria Station and, though unarmed, he at once seized the armed criminal. Shunned Gentlemen Detectives. Melville had the greatest contempt for such-fantastid creations as Sher- lock Holmes, and so-called detective authors. "Put is man like that down to a job," he was wont to remark, "and you will find him as useless as a child. Thosehigh brow theories won't work, at least, not in practice." Gentlemen detectives shared alike in this con- tempt. And he was fond of recount- ing the occasion when,jScotland Yard, as an experiment, decided to appoint educated men -direct into the detective force without having first to serve their tinie as police constables, "There are four of them," he remarked. Two were afterward sentenced for accept- ing bribes; another was dismussed as inefficient, and the fourth disappear- ed." When Melville retired front the "Yard" his services to the State did not cease -for some time he was en- gaged on the Dutch mail service lines, experiencing many 'exciting adven- tures with German secret service agents and being instrumental in the execution of not a few. Bites For Air Targets. Accurate marksmanship with anti- aircraft guns is very difficult. To de- velop it requires special practice, for which, it goes without saying, ground targets are unsuitable. One puzzle involved is to judge the height at which an airplane is flying. This is of utmost importance, because shrapnel 05 other shells must be timed to explode as close as possible to the aircraft aimed at. Experienced gunners are able to guess pretty closely by noting the ap- parent site of filo airplane, The great- er the elevation at which.i1 is 'flying, the smaller it looks, of course. For practical pnrp(ses our anti-air- craft gunners are using huge. kites, which, with piano wires for "string," wound on a big reel, 0011 be sent up halt a mile or more. They will stay op, too, until fairly riddled With bolos, Every tittle tIe1ps.
