Shorncliffe, Eng. Oct, 25. Dear Father -A few' lines today before the mail goes out. We are having beau- tiful autumn weather, with little rain. On bright days we have a lovely view from the window, over hills and sea. I am rooming now with a Salvation Army Chaplain, a very fine fellow. Last Sunday at -:our Presbyterian church parade Ralph Connor preached. It was rather a cold day, lint he got good atten- tion. He is about the only Presbyterian chaplain here at present. • A week ago Sunday I went to the Anglican church. Most of the people around here are Angli can. The building,was erected in 1118, and is a very picturesque building with a lovely chime of bells. On Friday last Will McQueen of Bruce field and 1 wept to Dover, about ten miles from here. It is a very old town. and has a wonderful old castle, one of the oldest and strongest in England. It is a big place and powerfully fortified, and has been besieged several tinges but never taken. There are great under- ground passages cut out of the rock run- ning out into the country. It is a naval station too. We saw several submarines and warships. Since then the city has been closed to all without a pass, even the citizens cannot go out and in without it. All these places around here are in total darkness at nights, even London. It looks strange to see the people stumb- ling along in the dark. You see some carrying electric flash lamps and even the police are particular about the use of these. All windows have to be kept darkened. Last week I saw a ship tor- pedoed or mined just oft our camp. They managed to get it beached before it sank Another struck a mine a few days later and went down. No pictures can be taken in that town, in fact they are pro- hibited all along the coals,. We do not get any very definite infor- mation from the men who have gone to France, although I have heard from sev- erer of them but they are so closely cen- sored that very little information comes through. To -night we had a very successful concert, given by a party of ladies. The hall was crowded and the singing splen did. Next week we hope to have a moving picture machine here for two or three nights. We also have lantern views and lectures, both ]rete and at one of the hospitals right beside our camp, where there are about 350 men. They appreciate these very much and they do the men a great deal of good. Of course it takes money to run these things, Part of it conies from the regimental fund, part from the Y M. C. A. and I could use some of the money the Auburn people are sending to a good advantage in this way. We can secure excellent talent, generally for travelling expenses. It is surprising how English people of talent are devoting their services to this kind of thing and I sometimes think that a good concert means as much to the men as a sermon. Now that the evenings are growing long and often disagreeable it is agreat dung e • i[ the met have some such place to go to. Am also trying to keep t1iem well supplied with writing and reading material. Through the \Var Contingent Association of Canada, a soci- ety in London, England, we can get magazines at half price. The canteen help in our •'Y" huts is furnished by vol- unteer ladies of sufficient means, so that they give (heir services free, some are of good circumstances and means. A couple of them run their own private autos one is now the champion tennis player of India. A while ago we had the champion of America. These English people are fine -there is such a hospitality about them. Last week 1 was over to a hospital, about two miles from here. It is the home of Lord and Lady Markham. There are about 120 wounded there. I wish you could see the` garden, about an acre of flowers, and the lawns! These old Eng lish homes of the upper classes are won derful.
