I don't know what day of the week this is. Last two Sundays passed with- out my knowing it. We've been in a whirl of kilts and pipes and bonnets of late. but of that I cannot tell you much. There was a Scotch sentry. "Who are you? • asked an o(hcer. "Fine; hoo's your- self?' replied Jook. Speaking of shells and nose caps, it seems that the padre of this battalion found a kw detonators during a trip into the front line and walked into the orderly room dugout with them. "What are these?" he asked. pleasantly. twiddling them in his fingers. One officer said. "I'm going." Another absotbed the situation and said: "len going/' First thing the padre knew he was alone, until a clerk carne along and took his playthings from him.

And, perhaps, the most wonderful thing of all this is tht way Fritz 'shells French towns before and after we are billeted in thern, but is it during our stay. A 'Fritz plane came over early the other morning and unfastened his tail - hoard right overhead, dropping five bombs or so. It was a mighty anxious time between bombe, with bits of glass and plaster falling. and c.ne poor old French couple got kilkd in a cottage around the corner. Two Canadian of- ficers were buried in the debris, they had been billeted in the front part o. the house.

"I viant to go to Scotland," he said, so the state soothed him by explaining that the R. T. 0. in Lonoon, Would change the warrant for him. '1 his is a wonderful war. I watched a flsing-man circling over our billets the other day. when all of a sudden the plane dropped. I had never seen a ma- chine crash. and stood startled. watching the flyer and his car turn 'over and over. One-thed of the way to the ground. the plane swooped out horizontally again. In another minute its rider .was •doing more weird stunts in the air. eV hen the squadrons fly over toward (be enemy's lines in the evening. and there's nothing else going on, but the big guns ho. ming now and again. it seems almost as if the infantry are taking a hack seat with the cavalry. There are so many wonderful things in this campaign. We do not half appre- ciate them because they are so familiar. For instance, there is the pink mule in the battalion transport. They always dnve it single, in a half limber, I ecause they can't match the color. Then there is the language used by the padre's bat- man on a Sunday morning. when he finds (he combined duties of groom and valet a hit strenuous. Take the band. Both bande. They go into the "I ne" with rifle and shovel as required; do not "go sick," but carry on under shellfire like the rest of us, and in due course come out and dig up their instruments and oncemore become a musi- cal organization. That bugleehand of Drum -Major "Happy" Day s is the pride of the battalion and envy of the rest of the division. It has a curious counter- march that makes the visitor's eyes bulge, and when the bugles and drums and Bandmaster Adams brumes combine in one march tune there's nothing equal to it in this par of Fiance.

'yen before the war steel ships were built more cheaply on. the :Great Lakes than a ywhere else. This fact was well known to foreign Governments and shipowners. and soon after the war in Europe began many orders were placed in Great Lakes yards for ships for French. British and Nor- wegian interests. By virtue of com- mandeering, our shipping board became the beneficiary. of many of these orders.

May j&—Before the war about the only shipping the United States had of which it was entitled It be proud was of the Great Lakes. The ex- tent of the Great Lakes shipping dwarfed that of the oceans. In seven months of the year it carried 100,000.000 tons of freight for distances approximating an average of a thousand miles at probably the lowest freight rat in the world. At the same time the wages %pahierdeto seamen were better than any else - This result was accomplished by uni- fied control. Practically all departments of lake commerce are in the same set of hands from beginning to end. The companies that own the boats either own or have the use equivalent to ownership of docks and terminals, and often of connecting railways and primary sources of freight. Roughly speaking. therefore, there was no conflict of in- terest among shippers. boat -owners and dock and warehouse companies. Whatever helped one helped all. This unity of interest and control has led to a perfection of terminals. loading and un- loading. coaling, provisioning and to a continuity of use during the months of navigation that anew:land admiration of the business world. The average Great Lakes harbor is an age ahead of the average Atlantic Coast harbor in terminal facilities. The way they load and unload bulk cargoes in New York harbor would be a joke in MR.
