at m ^
I happened to be mess orderley that
;day, and as A. Com. had prisoners
in 'the guard room, had to carry
grub to. them,' Consequently, I had
to :follow the Comp. on my owi
when they moved off but caught up
with them. T had a good excuse to
:stay out that night because they
went away'Without me and I did
not know whare they were going.
However, I, didn't. We went into a
new section of ttbnoh which up to
now had been occupied bp another
battalion but the trenches were in
perfect shape. Our platoon was in
,supports so as soon as 'we had ditch-
ed our packs we had to go out again
• "to carry in rations. 1 might say that
-the dugouts were few,. very leakyi
:and small. Just -Imagine spendtiig''n
might in'a hole 5 by 5 which dripped
water all over so that we had to
resort to cans and waterproof sheets
to catch the water. Four men_ in
our dugout and they were all sim-
ilarly crowded, wet and uncom£ort-
. able. In one the wall fell in and in
-another the opposite wall fell block
ing up the entrance and some of the
boys had to sit up all night because
'they couldn't lie down. Well, we
went out for rations when we had
got some idea of what 'our quarters
would be. I carried in two hags
one of potatoes ,and another of meat.
'They were tied together but kept
swinging like pendulums on my back
when walking. The walk overland,

'trenchand'

g ut over nar-
row plank bridges and over mud and
slime I will never forget, But it
was not. so bad as ,just at the first
when we struck our own front line,
We liad to slide down a short bank
:of mud' to reach the bottom of the
trench and it was here I fell -first.
'The mud was a foot deep so by the
time I got up again I didn't are
any more. I picked up my burden
wind followed on, You .see mucl and
water very, quickly congregate in
trenches. if not properly drained so
it was anywhere up to knee deep for
about one hundred yards and the
width of the passage varied from one
to five, so in the darkness it
was fleet squeeze along and then
stagger: from sale to side in the wid-
er parts. I put my foot in. a hole
and fell again so was 'looking for the
end of the trip with eyes which were
seeing red. About a dozen of the
boys hacl to make a third. trip to
carry in officers' dishes but this
boy was not one of them. After
putting on a dry shirt and sweater
and dry socks and stuffing all my
mud plastered, clothing into my pack
to form a pillow, the four of us lay
down in our 5 by' 5 hole and per-
haps it was well we had to be close
together, it helped keep us warm. Ii.
the morning I was awakened to car-.
r rations.
y That meant a trip down
through the trendies to tvlherc we
bad put the stuff the night before,
you see 'we had carried rations for
the whole comp. the night before,
and back again with our own pla-
toon's share, I didn't rush into my
wet clothes ver quiekly and when
I had crawled out the rest had- gone
s0 1 went my. own 'way which I
knew was dryer. You see I am fond
of looking about me and I 'knew, of
the ,outer way, which was dryer tut
more dangerous and I was sniped at
but by keeping low and not wasting
much tine I covered the one hundred
yards I bad to go. I returned the
same way and got back dry as to
feet, but in an hour, mit hoots hav-
ing been wet from the previous
night, my feet were soaking again.
It now began to rain so the four of
us crowded into our dugout, and I
acted as mother and cut slices of
wet breadand
ate for 'weeniest.

are unknown : A. dozen will drink

the sergeant came around. and said
that numbers five and six sections
had to go out and report to head-
quarters. One of our boys who. bad
slept in the same hut at -- and
who had gone sick tei the hospital
the day before we•oame in was down
with diphtheria. It meant that sev-

out with our, rifles and skeleton'

with something and: sent back to` the
trenches. In fact the eargeai1 had

raining so we, took refuge in a

Upper Hand of Germans..
T'te. Wn1. Maiming of Winnipeg Says
Big Change in Attitude of '
the Huns
"I really believe the enemy is lie•
coming discouraged.' Their tactics
are remarkably changed in the last
four months. They seem more
timid, do less firing and sniping, and
are completelp outclassed in artillery
duels."
So rui5s a paragraph in one of a
series of informative letters written
bp Pte. Wm. Manning, a native of
Clinton and nephew of Mrs. C. G.
Middleton, from ' the front. Pte.
Manning*redo
is a Queen's
graduate of
university, Kingston, and before
writing his last examination he went
to the Peace River -country, where
he taught school for a time. He en-
listed in. the 43rd, but was transferr-
ed to the 16111 battalion,
The following excerpts from a num
ber of his letters are enlightening
with regard to trench life. One of
them contains a description of an
attack by the 7th Canadian battery.
10The last place we were in we had
an exceptionally fine dugout, warn'
and watertight. It had a fire place
in one end and we kept a roaring
fire gang all the time. We can usu-
ally manage to get lots of firewood
by raiding the farm houses that bave
been wrecked by shell fire, and some-
times weate lucky enough to got
hold of a bag of coal from the cools
kitehefi,
`'Phis part of the line has !scan
pretty quiet lately. We get shelled
pretty regularly every day!, but no-
bocly- seems to get hurt. A lot of
German shells do not explode, in
fact, lately only about 50 per cone
have exploded,
"An aeroplane came down in , our
lines a fete dap; ago. The observer
was killed but the pilot escaped al-
most uninjured. He was only about
19 and spoke e good English.1ts
h Every.

one was out for souvenirs, and a
couple of the hops got hit. Am send-
ing pee a piece of the wing in a sep-
arate envelope."
Another Letter,
"We are out again for a few days,
for which we are truly thankful, as
it has rained ever since we came out,
We have been very fortunate in re-
gard to weather.
"Ant glad you got my letter writ-
ten by moonlight in the trenches.
That was .the hottest corner we :have
been 111, as the lines were only 20 or
30r
ya ds apart, and there was a live-
ly exchange of bombs. We came oil,
well, only two or three wounded and
none killed,, The Germans were not
so fortunate. The battalion that re-
lieved us lost two platoons, blown
up by a mine two days after we left.
"One of our boys was asleep in a
dugout when. a bomb lit on top and
exploded. The sentry rushed up to
know ewas t llnrt
and found him
reacefull.
y sleeping, though the roof
was 10 ruins :,Getting up and col-
lecting his belongings he crawled
into another dugout, and 1n five min-
utes was peacefully snoring.
":After we left those trenches we
were billeted in a barn about a mile
from the firing line. A few days
after we left there the Germans
shelled it and there were 10 casual-
ties. You see we are lucky,
"We were heavily bombarded last
time iTlebut Fritz got it back so
hard that heehad.to quit. Again we
got off lucky, as one parapet was
only down in one place 'and mile two
sten were slightly wounded.
"d really believe the enemy is be-
coming discouraged.' Their tactics
are remarkably changed in the last
Mee months. They scene more timid,
do less firing and sniping, and are
coinpletelji outclassed in artillery
duels,
