T. Neely, who is with the Canadian troopa now in Germany: Germany, Dec. 10, 1918 Dear Mother, --Just few lines this evening after a long hike to -day in the mud. The roads are sure bad in : -this country. We have three more days travelling anyway, before we get to our destination. I was up at four thirty this morning, and to -morrow is the seine so I'll get about two hours sleep as I am on guard from ten till two. Sorne fine night to be outside, raining of course. In fact, the wea- ther Ilea not been very good the last -week, very heavy fogs and chilly too. It is not a very nice country around here, as it is very hilly and mountain- aue I would say as some are over a mile long and the mules sure look the part at times as the wagons are carry- ing a lot of ammunition. Safety first! as we might need it before -peace is signed. That last place I t wrote to you from, we stayed two uights instead of one and last night we spent the night in another little village and slept on the hard floor in the school house. This is a little-larg- 1 er village and in a house six of us are sleeping on the floor in a nice warm -room, but of the language we don't understand hardly a word. In fact I don't want te have anything to do with ; or the people that speak it. They use ! us all eight, but they have to I guess, ! although I suppose it hurts them to Decemeber 16, 1914 Dear Mother,—Just a few lines this evening to say I am well and hoping ' you are the same. I have been very • Imsy the last while back so I had not time ho writes but now things are fine with a good place to live. The only trouble is, we are sleeping on the floor in a parlor in a German house —three of us. 1111 say ISierer met any better people „since I left Canada or any to use us -better. They can't do too much for us end feed us well on, potatoes, coffee and vegetables. Of course they are short of quite few things, but, not as bad as the papers used to make out, They are very clean people and everything is spick and span. This is only a village by the :natio of Siegler, about twenty miles a- cross the Rhine river, where we passed over the great bridge two days ago and it was the worit day, I think, that I put in since leaving. There never was a. lat„up of rain, from early morn- ing till late - at night and we were 'soaked through. Ira fact my clothes are not dry yet but yesterday and today has not been bad.. We get a half holiday twice a week and expect to Ise here until peace is signed, which I expect will be in February. Then it will be a few months before we get back, and I expect next Christmas will see all the boys home.—Well mother, guess youare back home long before now and so the flu is still bad as I see by our little Ca.nadian papers. JOHN. ON THE RHINE Germany, Dee. 15, 1918. It is with a very great pleasure that I take up my pen to thank you on be- half the ladies of the Seaforth Women's War Auxiliary, for the very nice parcel which I received to -day. When our duty out here is so near finished :it is a great pleasure to know that we are not forgotten by our friend:5 at home. I remember the otherdevening being in a billet where some men were billeted and when they received some parcels, noticing -how sorprised the German people were to see such' things as they got. Over here candy iS ahnost a thing of the pest, for instance a bar of chocolate worth in Canada about 25c, -here is Soap worth at horhe 5 cents here is worth 2 marks 5 pfgs or 58c; so you sae see Canada is still worth fighting for, and you can understand one reason why our Canadian soldiers are aredous to return. *As you will see by the address we' are across the Rhine, one of the big ambitions of a Canadian soldier. I know cases of our soldiers who were sick and when ly, is the third parcel I have received from' you, the first einein France, last year in England and no* in Germany, and I know your parcels ere being dis- tributed on al 'other fronts where the British have fought In again thank- ing yell, sincerely hoPe that by next all the - Seaforth boys back again. Sincerely your's; HARVEY J. DORRANCE MANITOBA LETTER Dear Expesitor,-1918 has. paSsed Into history and na doubt the future historian Will record the year 1918 as one -of the-. most momenteons Years in the world's history, and it is- to. be hope that the accredited represen- tatives all the nations that axe to meet early in the new year, will sd safeguard, as far as human insight can„ 'the _interests of all coneetued, so that no feture ruler will ever have a dream of dictating to the rest of man- kind. And just to think that this ruler, the ex -Kaiser, is a grendson of Victoria the Good. Not • long ago I saw a photo of our late Queen, hold- ing on her knee the Kaiser, at four years of age, and in the light of eitents of the past four years, if our Good Queen Vidtoria could only have come back to life, to know what that grand- son had sanctioned in the deepest dyed cruelties that -history has ever re- corded, she could not help think it was a long way from the endearing title given to Her Majesty bf Victoria the Good, to the impersonation in her grandson of Wilhelm the Damned; there is a long distance in two such human characters. When mu late Queen was asked by an eastern King the cause of the British 'Empire's greatness, simply replied to the east- ein potentate by handing a copy of the Bible to him, but the Kaiser an- nounced a parteerahip between him- self and Gott end strange to sey, Gott was only the junior in the partnership, but he -will have plenty of time in Holland to probably 'come to the de- cision -that he was only a junior part- ner - after all. It is told of the late King Edward; when -Prince of Wales, he visited Berlin -relatives anid when he returned .'Ea*Lopdon, her late Maj- esty aaked him how things were in BerlIzi, he replied all right,: except Willie was crazy, as he had been even at that time preaching his Divine right te rule -mankind -to Tais‘uncle, the then Prince of Wales, who We all know was one of the rnost democratic kings that ever wore a orown. It is to be hoped, and We have reas- on to, expect that all the wisdom that will assemble around ths, peace table will not make any of the mistakes of past peace couferences, and heed out even-handed justice as far as it is humanly possible to do so. I have used the word humanly but I thing if we are at all serious thinkers, we must readily admit that the Divine hand was shown at the first battle of the Marne when only a handful of Allied troops turned that mad ruSh for Par - Biblical promise that "I will eonfuse thy enemies!' literally fulfilled, and sure French wine was the instrument used, and if we admit that the Divine war, may we not look and hope that same hand will guide the assembled :wisdom of the nations around the peace table, and we cannot think that the hand of Proitidence will not want anything but stern justice handed to A nation that has broken every law of God and rnan and we cannot help but think that the German nation is more disgusting in defeat than in war if that were posslble, when we hear of the continual whine they have put up since the armistice was signed. In my opinion I do not thing there 'is a nation, not excepting China, that would show more honorable 'qualities in defeat than the braggart Hun. During the last forty-eight hours of 1918, the weather clerk made a most vigorous kick just to remind us` as a passing memory of the two last days of the, old year that it is Poss- ible to turn off the • hot air which has prevailed through December, to a rush of cold air -to force the mercury down to forty below zero, and every- body told the other fellow it is :really not necesaery to painfully remind. you that it is eold with a capital C. *We hoPe with a few days of this cold : change it .may help to weaken the flu ,Which is still with us.
