We are all 151 nue barracks now, moved up from our tents last Suoday. r guess it trill be getting pretty cold over your way nosy and it soon will be Christmas, but le does not look like it here, Any of our Battalion that is not drafted over to France, is going to be billeted in Folkestone, a oily about a mile from 001' camp. Two streets of people have been ordered out of of their houses. Sonia fine hulets have been turned into billets too. It sure would be flue to go into billets sit, the towns.

How is Florence gelling along, going to school all the time, 1 guess ? They have some dandy schools here. It looks funny t0 see girls driving train care, girls in hotels and taking men's places everywhere. The girls and al- most evetyone down home oertalnly do not know they are living. The people work for all they get in this country, everything you buy is clearer here than at home. We went down town last night and bought something to eat, It cost us two shillings and two pence or 52 cents, so that is not vet'y cheap. I got three pounds to gn on leave with yet, that is fifteen dol- lars so I can have a gond time on that here. The paymaster keeps back twenty dollar's, so the never got our last pay. It is kept back so if we get into ahnspital we can get some of it. Well I guess I will have to close for this tune, as it is time to go to work. Your loving son, OLARENOE, PASTOR RUSSELL To rho Editor of Tan Pon: DEAR SIR. -In THE POST of Nov. 9th appeared an Associated Press de- spatch referring to the death of Pastor Russell, the great evangelist, To the end was tacked on a piece stating that he died "wealthy was puguaaoue and pet'sistent and had misled some lea or Words t leo o this osiers. people" I lust Tine posy but this is the sub- stance. I wish to continent 06 that statement. In last week 's "Week ly Sun" Itud the following f :- "An testate of $200 was all that, Pastor Charles T.

He died in hat, neee, preaching to the last to teach the world the real truth about the Bible. 11e has led millions of the Iranian rare into Lite right path.

This claim was laid over till next meeting. 33.00 was ordered to be re- funded R, Cradles, being reined error ring tax.

The Reeve poured oil on the troubled waters by suggesting as a remedy that if the parties mentioned were not satisfied with the onlveete being pelt in, that a reconsideration of former awards under the D. and W. Act affecting these same properties would perhaps be a satisfactory solu- tion to this matter. Reeve also in- formed a delegation of Indies present on behalf of the Belgrave Blanch of the lied Ones Society what procedure to take so that they could participate in the amount of motley granted by the Camay Onuncil at their last meet- ing, $5,000,00 being set aside for h s amount t o Red Ones purposes, 1n9Pa t 1 I R 0 i 1 Muni- cipalities divided among the different 14 t cippalities according to the last equaliz- ed assessment.
