Learning French.
One difficulty that our 'soldiers in
France have in learning to speak
French like the natives is that col-
loquial French has so many humor-
ous or slang synonyms for the per-
fectly good words that might be used,
says the Outlook. A French -English
dictionary, with a suggestion of Dr.
Johnson's habit of interpolating the
lexicographer's personality into his
definitions, hits off this idea under
the word centre: "Belly, abdomen;
in the slang of those who never call
things by their proper names, stom-
ach."
The war has seen an astonishing

And, alila Extend it to the Writer
Our Letter.
H is the Huns we are helping to whack. vented substitutes, standing, of
I is the Industry shown by us -all: course, for the good word soidat).
of
The editor of TheAdvance has received
a letter from someone who }las not signed
their name to it asking, why we have not
in our last week's edition extended syniv
pathy to all the privates' families who
are wounded as well as to the officers'.
On looking up the paper we notice that
we have extended sympathy to the wid-
owed mother whose son was accidentally
killed and also to a private's family and
to a Lieutenant's wife and three small -
children, the last two items were kindly
handed to us by friends of the soldiers
referred to. Any and every true patrio-
tic citizen extends sympathy to all fam-
ilies distressed whose relatives, whether
privates or not, have been either wounded
or killed, and we are no exception in this.
If the editor, who has evidently infuriated
the writer of the letter, were to enlist to-
morrow he would not expect or wish to t
have any rank but that of private. The
person who wrote the letter suggests tliat
it is about tins there was an air raid on
some of our Canadian editors " They
are evidently not aware of the amount of •
free advertising and publicity given
through our columns weekly to aid in the
winning of the war.
Some folks imagine that a newspaper
should contain every item of news pertai-
ning to their family or visitors, while not
for a moment, would they think of tellin•;
the editor any or assisting him in any
way to get it. We do not believe that
anyone who knows us, doubts that our
sympathy is not extended to a private's
family as well as to an officer's, such a
thing would be the furthest thought from
our mind.
Again, we may have suffered as much
as the writer of the letter has, in that we
have lost a very near and dear relative
over two years ago, holding the rank of
a private.

Working out thy world-wide dream.

Safe from thee the real core,
Locked secure the spirit's door.
