Wingham Boy, With Army of Occupation, Writes a Very
Interesting Letter froth Bonn, Oermany.
This is a very interesting letter that we equipped with wooden soles and heels•
are going to publish in spite of the fact ; The stationery shops did a fine trade in
that the writer does not wish any public-' picture post cards when our boys came in.

Dear Sir,-
I had the pleasure

nets. The old German song "The. Watch
on the Rhine" has come true, but it is
Canada, through her troops, who is doing
the Watch, Our boys guard both ends of
the bridges. Along the western bank
heavy guns are drawn up in lines.
We were stationed in Cologne for a week
during which time I was fortunate in as

there was a high wall separating me from
the town, When I was on leave in Lon-
don last January, 1 encountered a home
lad at Marble Arch, and he informed me
that he had ready letter of mine in "The
Advance." I was quite surprised at the
time. I trust you will refrain from pub-
lishing Ietter or at least my name.
This time last year we had just return-
ed from a strenuous experience Passchan- t the city. The cathedral is of course the

dalle, we were packed in a big mine -yard
at Berlin in front of Lens. A fine big slag
heap stood between us and the line at
that timeeo that we enjoyed total im-
munity from shell fire, The Germans
were aware of our exactposition, however,
-and this knowlegde proved disastrous lat-
er on, for most of the houses on one street
were totally demolished by heavy shells.
At that time we simply abhorred a fine
evening. A moonlight night meant nol
sleep on account of the persistent bomb-
zng.y
A great change has taken p• lace since
then. Here we are on the Rhine, guests
of the Germans, There are no dangers
from shells and bombs and our objective
has been gained. W& had a hard journey
before we readied the Rhine Valley. We
crossed the border at Namur on the
Meuse river. The hills made our advance
very difficult. The roads were soft with
continuous rains. I frequently hitched a
cable onto the horse transport wagons to
give them a tow over the top of a particu-
larly steep hill, From the 'time we left
the Meuse in Belgium, till we reached
Euskirchen, a big town about twenty
miles south west of Cologne, we were con-
stantly climbing and descending hills The
country was very sparsely settled The
Main object of interest. It is a very fine
building but one is obliged to admire it
with a certain reserve for this is the build-
ing which the British agreed that they
would not bomb during the "Carpus
Christi" festival. The same day the Ger-
mans shelled Paris With"their long range
guns, and helpless women and children
were killed and maimed whilst they were
celebrating the same festival. The station
opposite the cathedral is a fine building
too, but that only recalls the beautiful
"Gare du Nord" at Arras, which is a
hopeless wreck. I sincerely hope that all
these things are not forgotten when the
Allied peace terms are presented
I think the Germans are beginning to
realize their great mistake. I had a slight
indication of this whilst purchasing some
post cards in a shop. We were parked in
a suburb known as Marienburg. Along
the waterfront there is a small park and
in' the centre is a monument dedicated to
Bismark. It is one of the most grotesque
monuments I have ever seen, and most
effectively symbolizes the old German
motto that "Might is Right." The lady
who was serving us spoke English fairly
well and I asked her for a post card of
this monument. She was greatly surpris-
ed and remarked that it would not be a

and instrumental selections and the enter-

able.
The local committee in charge of the
Lyceum cum course feels that it was very for-
tunate in securing the Pairchild quartet
for it it not an easy matter to secure" a
ladies quartet which comes so highly re-
commended for versatility as does this or..
a
g ntzation.
It is stated by the Redpath Bureau,
through which the Pairchilds were secured
that few demands are more difficult to fill
than that for quartets of ladies who in
addition to being good vocalists are versa
tile upon orchestra instruments.
The members of the Fairchild Ladies'
Quartet are both vocalists and instru-
mentality. Their program includes in-
strumental and vocal -quartets, piano,
violin, cello, soprano and contralto solos,
readings, pianologues, whistling quartets
and solos, instrumental duets and trios
and vocal duets.
The personnel of the company is as
follows: Bessie Fairchild, pianist and so-
prano; Dorothy Fairchild, violinist and
contralto; Mildred 1Vferness, cellist and
soprano; Lela Fairchild, reader, violinist,
contralto and pianologist.
Besides being splendid artists it is said
that the charming personalities of the
young women win their audiences at
once.

FIRE AT W[NOF[An'l
On Tuesday night shortly after ten
o'clock fire was noticed issuing from the

once given and the firemen and a number
of volunteers were soon on the scene, The
stables a were beyond saving when the
w to

byexcellent
ellen
t
management, on the part of someone, the
frame hotel and the large new sheds were
saved. The stable was insured for $500
but the toss to Mr. Lepard is consider-
ably more than that. A buggy and cutter
were burned,
rned,
Several of the firemen were attending
:et 1. O. U. P. initiation and banquet at
1'eeeeater but as soon as they were told
of the fire in Wingnam they hurried home
but did not arrive till after the tire had
heezt quenched. Had it not been at an
early hour probably the entire Lepard
property would have gone up in flames,
but as Wyse everyone turned in and Ient
assistance. Probably the two young men
in change of the Salvation Army and Mr.
T. J. McLain deserve special mention for
the god volunteer work they did.
