And there alone can individual skM and courage have their swift reward. For one flash, betweeri a dip and a climb of his swallow flight, the fighting airman may catch the glint of his opponent's ,eye and, if the momentary burst of fire be truly directed, see him crumple up in his seat and the nose of his ma- chine dip and begin its fatal spinning dive, /while the victor soars up again to sa,fety and solitude,. And what eg solitude is his!

The chocks are pull- ed away, the hum rises to a drone, breaks into a roar and he is off, bumping over the , uneven earth until the speed gives his wings their life, the rough ground is shed away from beneath his feet, and he rises into the sudden peace of the air. The "peace of the air" may seem like a contradiction in terms in war time; but it is the supreme sensetion of fair-weather flying apart from flye ing and fighting. Once you have got your height, whether it be a thous- and or ten thousand feet, you seen to 'be absolutely at rest—at rest in sun- shine and a strong gale. The dim carpet of rriap beneath you hardly moves; and although the trembling fingers of the little clocks ancli dials before you witness to the fluidity of your element and the tenderness of your hold on it, yet the only things that do not seem to move are the wings and stays of your machine . which surround you a rigid cage from which you look forth upon the slow- • turning earth and the rushing clouds. It is not until the engine has been shut off, and you begin to plane in mighty circles towards the earth again, that you get in that delicious riush, down the hill of the air, any se sation of X speed, and not until, a m ment be- fore landing, you skim over the earth at eighty miles an hour, that you re- alize with what mace you have been rushing through the airy vacancy. But these are the sensations of meer joy -riding. Ten or twenty min- utes may take the fighting pilot to his station in the air over the enemy's lines. itow puny the absurdity of the greatest war of all time tan aitpear is only known to the airman as he sits in the breeze and the sun, high above it all; the danger to him • • 4 • • is not down there, although into his remote sphere he ha through the zone of anti-aire his own particular enemy is o ascend to pass ft fire; the Ger- man fighting machine, which may come down to harry or destroy the observer, and which he must himself attack the moment it makes its ap- pearance.

The following interesting letter was received by the secretary of Crom- arty Red Cross Auxiliary from Lieut. W. G. Oliver, of the 9th Reserve Battalion, C.E.F., Bramohott, Eng- land. Bramshott Camp, March 28, 1917. Dear Friends—Your welcome letter of March 7th, arrived on the 25th, which, I think is the best time any letter has made in reaching me in England. Letters are always welcome to us for time drags heavily when no mail reaches us. I have been rather fortunate in this way myself, having received Mail on every mail boate ex- cept for about two weeks when the last submarinem scare was on. Also y friends have been mighty good to me re parcels. The Seaforth Women's War Auxiliary has remembered in trifice, and I have made a few fellows happy for the time being by passing on seine of the comforts. 1 The answer is simply this: You take the ordinary English youth from school, or from a cadet cerps, or from an office, or from 4 regiment and give him three or four months' training, and throw him up in the air in France and he does the rest. I have lived with more than one fighting squadron in France, and have seen the flights set forth M the morning, and watched for them as they came doubtfully home, (eying to find their way though the curtain of low clouds'.

Both he and his wife are very friendly with none of the frosty air one might expect. The picturesque- ness of this district surrounding camp is magnificent. The several villages of Grayshott, Hindhead, Chottermill, Hazelmere, Liphook, and Headley are all very pretty,though small. They are all within an hour's walk of the camp. The pretty winding lanes and roads, bordered with thick, high hedges, running up and down hill may seem a common everyday sight, but as we walk along hearing the birds singing in the boughs and listening to the music of the waters in the num- erous dells, a picture forms in one's mind such as only a poet like Tenny- son could describe. And Tennyson did spend much of his time here. Wag - goner's Wells, about twenty minutes walk from camp etas one of Tenny- son's resorts, from which he gathered material for different poems.
