There is no parade this af- ternoon as it is raining as usual, ;:o I will not wait until to -morrow. I suppose you .saw ins the paper where the Germans had shelled those places, perhaps some pictures ten, but these views I am sending will give you a little idea.. of what ,a 12 Ineh sltela wil. do, If I can get any more view:. of it I will send them to you;, It b certainly awful. People here slid pat realize they were at war until this happened. It is a good thing in one way as it has increased the num- ber o,' recrtties. by 10 per cent.

There are two feet of water :lowing down the main street. Shipton is the name of the town. You can't eealize how bad the mud is here, Right a - tong the main road the nrud is half way us- to. my knees. The ,oldest men and women in this district have never seen anything like it before. They sac it is the heavy cannonading in France that causes it. We expect to leave here about the middle of this month for France, imt we are not going right into the firing line at once, We are, what are -called the base. The base stays behind the firing line and looks after provisions, ammunition and, so on, for the nar- tiee in the trenches. Our bayonets are being sharpened to -day and rifles inspected.

"The silent treatment" of the Ger- man Lanclstrum i'n Brussels' by the Belgium people is one of the most striking features of the situation here [t is spreading even to the children who turn their heads away or cross the street whenever they see a Ger- man soldier approaching.

White of the 24th Horse ,Berlin., writing home to parents in Stephen, says: Pond Farm Camp, Dec. 27, 1914 Dear Parents,—As I have a Iittle snare time will write to let you know that I am still living, the only trouble is I air• troubled with chilblains. My fee: are that sore by times that, it tortures me to walk, The weather bas been very wet. It- is ,very dis- agreeable to have to saddle your hors and drill two or three hours in the rain. I -told you in my last letter that I am a cavalry man now, sa I have a swarf and have sword drill every day. When making a charge my horse gets very excited over the shining sword, He jumps and tears and I and it very ,difficult to stay on his back. It is certainly some sport to see live or .sir hundred cavalry men all mixed in every direction. Well, I did not get a pass for Christmas, but will gest a peas 'of six days for New Years, so I intend go- ing to a place called Blackburn in Lancaster. It is about three hundred ,miles from Salisbury Plaine. It is near the boundary line, •between Eng- lai all and Scotland. Some of my boy chume invited me, to ga as Blackburn i,s • their home. Hope I will nave a gooJ. time Now will tell you a little about Englund. The people of England are more for raising sheep and cattle. Some mornings we see from thre six thousand sheep all in one bunch with a shepherd and his dog. The cattle of E.nglaiad do not ook like the cattle of Canada. They .look to me more like buffalo than catte. Their horns are from two 'o three feet long, They come out from the bead six or seven inches, . then they. are curled up. The implements are also different. The :\vegons are drawn Cram the, axle, and: instead of a tongue' they have shafts and drive one horse ahead of the other. The roads are. dandy, all of stone and very emoor h very high in the centre, A traction engine )can go as fast as a horse wants to trot.
