We reached our trench. Trench?
just the shallow bed of a stream; the
water still running. Not many yards„
away, onl the slope of, the hill on the
other side was the enemy Iine, When
,day name every man had to crouch
down, thigh deep in water and mud.
Bent double, else he' would offer a
fair target; until his back ached ex-
cruciatingly, though his legs seemed
dead. Then trench -mortar shells and
bombs began to come over tows, and
.men began to roll over and bite their
lips lest a cry carry the- news to the
German. And there, head and shoul-
ders propped up so that they would
not drown, they had to stay until
darknesscame again. Certain death

save the little first-aid that, we could

left behind, tried to make his way
across the open to us. We buried him
that night.
Time seemed to have feet of lead.
My watch was stopped. I asked a cor-

We werein the line. The trench
sides, disintegrated by days of rain,
were continually falling in. The trench
itself was almost knee-deep in liquid

many of thein splintered, but reach-

In front there was a tangled mass of

A Cellar Mystery,
The second memory belongs to the
end one of a little row of cellars.
There had been a row of houses there
—once, Forty-eight hours before,
German troops had'been there. Just
behind there was a_ German burial
ground, which, new and again, Ger-
man shells were ploughing up. We had
been marching for thirteen hours. The
cellars were to be our billets for a
few hours more. We threw ourselves
on to the floor, and tried to sleep, but
could not. There was a. stench in the
place thattmade us wish to get out.
There was a pile of earth near the
doorway over which we had to walk
when we entered. We kept eyeing this.
At length a batman got a spade,
and the first thing ho brought to light
was a yard -long tress of hair. Beneath
the eartliwag the body of a girl. What
hellish deed had been committed in
the cellar we could only guess.
We started off to our new -line, down
a hillside, the whole of which was
pocked with shell -craters, each crater
'a hog.- It was pitch dark. First one

Mortar shells and bombs continued ;
to fall. It was impossible to hit back.
Night came at last. A fresh company
came to relieve us. Those of its who
were unwounded began the task of
getting the wounded and ,the dead
across the bogs and up the hill.

Canada's Dairy Products.
There are about' 3,500 cheese and
butter factories in Canada, and over
220,000 dairy farmers supply these
with milk and cream, The total value
of the output of these factories in
1916 was upward of 62,000,000. The
grand aggregate of dairy products in
Canada—cheese, creamery butter,
whole mills sold for consumption, out-
put of condensers, dairy butter made
and milk consumed on the- farm—is
estimated at $200,000,000.

RAINBOW AEROPLANES
Members of the Air Force Delight to
Decorate Their: Machines.
While discipline is maintained in
the R.A.F., a certain amount of free
dont' is inherent in the flying man's
psychology, and perhaps 'for that
reason the authorities allow him to
have bis pet machine painted to please
his artistic or Futurist tastes.
This popular craze originated from
the necessity in the early days of
preserving the few aircraft we had
by scientific camouflage. From that
necessity rose the luxury of display-
ingeaerial individuality, Not only do
airmen paint their aeroplanes with all
the colors of 'the rainbow, many of
them add names, weird and wonderful,
to their beloved air beasts. Some are
dramatic—such as "Le Diable Noir,"
"The Skull and Crossbones," with a
`suitable design, calculated to terror-
ize Fritz; "Black Bess; and the like.
Then there is the light-hearted'pilot,
who Christens his beet 'bus with such
names as "Wicked Mabel," "Fairy,"
"The Chocolate Soldier," and so on.
One pilot whose misfortune it was
in 1916 to fly an inferior machine, told
arae that his C.O. ordered him at once
to obliterate "H.M. Aeroplane Never -
getup,"' which, in' a rash moment, he
bad painted on his craft.
One of .Jhe most curious names I
have seen was "Harry Tate's 'Bus." I
was told that the name had been
painted by a wag who often chipped
the,pilot about his fierce moustache.
Many strange combinations of color
are found in both allied and enemy
squadrons. Black and white stripes,
which makethe round nose of an
aeroplane look like the old-fashioned
bull's-eye sweetmeat, are not uncom-
mon in. German squadrons. The All-
red is well known. The allblack is a
rare bird, with a pilot who must be
,particularly contemptuous of Arehies,
!or his craft: makes a good target='
against blue sky or white clouds.
Sometimes a fierce face is painted
on the cowl of -the flying machine,
Presently -the awful visage will dive
upon and terrify. a Hun, who may rec-
ognize that behind it is a pilot with
a sure gun and a steady hand.
It has been stated by-.seientists that
colors have an effect upon the .be-
havior of an aircraft. This may be a
fact, as I have noticed when flying a
dark -colored machine that it is more
susceptible to air bumps and disturb-
ances than a light-coigred one.
