An Observation Post—or 0 Pip, in the mysterious patois of the Buzzers —is not exactly the spot that one would select either for spaciousness or accessibility. It may be situated up a chimney, or up a tree, or down a tunnel bored through a hill, But it certainly enables you to see some- thing of your enemy; and that, in mod- ern warfare, is a very rare and valu- able privilege. ' Camouflage Again; s Of late the scene -painter's art— technically known, as camouflage—has raised the concealment of batteries and their observation posts to the realm of the uncanny. According to Major Wagstaffe, you can now dis- guise anybody as anything. For in- stance, you can make up a battery of six-inch, guns to look like a flock of sheep, nd herd them 'into action browsing. Or you can despatch a scouting party aeross No Man's Land dressed up as pillar -boxes, so that the deluded Hun, instead of opening fire with a machine gun, will merely post letters in them—valuable letters, con- taining military secrets. Lastly, and more important still, you can disguise yourself to look like nothing at all, and in these• days of intensified artil- lery fire it is very seldom that noths. ing at all is hit. If you peep over the shoulder of Captain Leslie, the gunner observing officer, as he directs the fire of his battery, situated some thousands of yards in rear, through the medium of map, field glass, and telephone, you will obtain an excellent vidw of to- morrow's field of battle. Present in the O Pip are Colonel Kemp, 'Wag- staffe, Bobby Little and Angus 1K Lachlan. The latter had been in- cluded in the party because, to quote his commanding officer, "he would have burst into tears if he had been left out" The Curtain Goes Up. Overhead roared Britishsh ells. of every kind and degree of unpleasant- ness, for the ground in front was be- ing "prepared" for the coming smash. The undulating landscape, running up to a 'Iow ridge four miles away, was spouting smoke in all directions— sometimes black, sometimes green, and sometimes where bursting shell and brick dust intermingled, blood -red. Be- yond the ridge all -conquering British aeroplanes occupied the firmament, observing for "mother" and "granny," and signalling encouragement or re- proof to these ponderous but sprightly relatives as their shells hit or missed' the target. That evening a select party of sight- seers were driven to a secluded spot behind the battle Iine. Here they were met by Master Osborne, obviously in- flated with some important matter. "I've got leave from my C.O. to show you the sights, sir,"' he an- nounced to Colonel Kentp. "If you will all stand here and watch that wood on the opposite side of this clear- ing, you may see something. We don't show ourselves much, except in late evening, so this is our parade hour." The little group took up its ap- pointed stand and waited in the gath- ering dusk. In the east the sky was already twinkling with intermittent Verey lights. All around the British guns were thundering forth their hymns of hate—full-throated now, for the hour of the next great assault was approaching. Wagstaffe's thoughts went back to a certain soft September night last year, when he and Blaikie had stood :on the eastern outskirts of Bethune listening to a similar overture—the prelude to the battle of Loos. But this overture was ten times more aw- ful, and, from a material Eritish point of view, ten times mere inspir- ing. It' would have thrilled old Blaik- ie's fighting spirit, thought Wag- staffe; But. Loos had taken his friend from him, and he, Wagstaffe, only was left. What did fate hold in store for him to -morrow? he wondered, And Bobby? They had both escaped mar- vellously so far, Well, better Olen3lad VIM before Chem, Perlutpe-='-e- Finger's of steel bit into his biceps Muscle, and the excited Whinney of Angus ,i'I,achlan besought him to look, • Tho Shiny Begins, ],)own in the forest sgmething stir- red, But it was not the note of a bird, as the song would have us be- lieve. Frpm the depths of the wood opposite came a crackling, crunching sound, as of SOMA prehistoric beast forcing its way through tropical un- dergrowth, And- then suddenly, out from the thinning edge there loomed a monster—a monstrosity. It did not glide, it did not walk. It wallowed. It' lurched, with now and then a laborious heave of its,shoulders. It fumbled its way over a low hank matted with scrub. It crossed a ditch by the sem- ple expedient of rolling the ditch out flat, and waddled forward, In its path stood a young tree, The monster arrived at the tree, and laid its chill lovingly against the stem. The tree leaned back, crackled, and as- Burned a horizontal position. In the middle of the clearing, twenty wards farther on, gaped an enormous shell crater, a present from the kaiser. Into this the creature plunged blindly, to emerge, panting and puffing, on the farther side. Then it stopped. A ma- gic opening appeared in its stomach, from which emerged, grinning,, a British subaltern and his grimy asso- ciates. Thanks to the Tanks. And that was our friends' first en- counter With a "Tank." The secret— unlike most secrets in this publicity - ridden war -had been faithfully kept; so far the Hush! Hush! Brigade had been little more than a legend even to men high up. Certainly the om- niscient Hun received the surprise of his life when, in the early mist of a September mortiing some weeks later, a line of these selfsame tanks burst for the first time upon his incredulous vision, waddling grotesquely up the hill to the ridge which had defied the British Infantry so long and so blood- ily—there to squat complacently down fthe top of the enemy's machine uns, or spout destruction from her own up and down the beautiful. trenches which had never been in- tended for capture, In fact, Brother Boche was quite plaintive about the matter. He de- scribed the employment of such en- gines as wicked and brutal, and op- posed to the recognized usages of war- fare. When one of these low -comedy vehicles (named the Creme -de - Menthe) ambled down the main street of the hitherto impregnable village of Fiera with hysterical British Tom - Thies slapping her on the back, he ap- pealed ,to the civilized world to step in and forbid the combination of vul- garism and barbarity. "Let us at least fight like gentle- men," said the Hun, with simple dig- nity. "Let us stick to legitimate mili- tary devices—the murder of women and children, and the emission of chlo- rine gas. But Tanks—no! One must draw the line somewhere!" But the ill-bred Creme -de -Menthe took no notice, When Tea Or Coffee Disagrees 'here's always a safe and pleasant cup totake its place INSTANT VTo.b is now used regularly by thousands who live better and feel better because of tho chane. "There's a Robson" ka A FAITHFUL GUARDIAN. Mounted -Police Scout's Horse Refused to Desert His Master. A contributor to the Canadian Mag- azine tells the story of a mounted - police scout who was sent with a dis- patch to one of the smaller outposts at the foot of the Canadian Rockies, It was towards spring, when the midday sun thaws the surface of the snow and the night frosts harden the melted crusts to a glare of ice as dazzlingly bright as the blinding flash of sun- light from polished steel. The thaw had crusted the trail, and the scout had to keep a sharp eye on the way to prevent himself from losing the path altogether. Suddenly the midday sun developed extraordinary hues. Ma- genta, purple and black patches began to dance on the snow, alternated with wheels and rockets of fire. Then the world became black altogether, al- though the man knew, of course, that it was broad day. He had become snow-blind. The only thing to do was to give the horse the bit, The horse stood stock still, and by that the scout knew that he had lost the trail altogether, for the broncho would have followed any visible path. He wheeled the horse about, but it still refused to move; and the man inferred that the crust of ice had been so hard in passing over it they had left no visible trail. That night the trooper slept under saddle blankets with the faithful horse stand- ing sentry. For five days the policeman wander- ed blindly over the prairie, Iosing all count of time, eating snow to quench his thirst and sleeping in the holes that the horse had pawed through the ice crust to the grass underneath, The man was now too weak, to mount and to keep the saddle. As a last I,wpe the thought struck him that if he unsad- dled his horse and turned it loose it might find its way back to the fort and so notify his friends that he was lost. He removed' the saddle, but the faithful creature refused to leave the roan lying on the snow, and stood over him in spite of all his efforts to drive it away. The pathetic scene enacted by' these two, the half -deed man and the affectionate horse, was witnessed on tho sixth day by a mai} carrier who found the pair. The trooper was se- verely frozen, but both he and his horse lived to :follow many another trail .— ` The Settlers,.

Germans Bomb Unfortified Places to Incite Desire for Peace. There appears some truth in a statement by a German aviator recent- ly captured by the Italians, who ex- plained that the real object of Hun air raids on unfortitled towns was to force a general longing for peace on the part of the public. "We do not know," said he, rand we do not seek to know, where staff headquarters or military depots are. It is the city and the citizens we wish to destroy. Our purpose is to break down the resistance of the enemy country. "When we bombard London, Paris or Padua, you will well understand that we do not look for military ob- jectives. Our only regret is that other cities of yours are so far away from our bases. It is useless, therefore, for you to continue to lament if among the victims there is the inevitable wo- man and baby. If they cannot take care o€ themselves so much 'worse for them," ' 0-0-0--0 0 0-0- 0 WOMEN !

Our errand took us to a fort that was surrounded by notlees stating that no one was allow- ed inside, and we agreed that if once we gained entrance any sentry or de- titctive would naturally suppose that we had leave to be there, The idea worked splendidly. We Succeeded in getting in and walked ealmly through camps and past sen- tries. • Not a question was asked us, Having walked in like this, and hay- ing successfully walked out again, we tried it again after dark. This time it meant slipping through unperceived ars far as possible, and in this we suc- ceeded equally well. Everyone's at- tention was centred on the illuminat- ing rockets. We watched the prepara- tions and the . results, and, having stadied the routine of the practice, we were. in the end able to help ourselves to some et the rockets and the light- ing composition, When we heard that a final exhibi- tion of the illuminant was to be held at the fort for the Emperor hifnself, we decided to attend. My brother re- mained outside to observe the effect of the lights from the attacker's viewpoint, and I'went in. There were too many police for my liking, how- ever, and I very soon came out again. As I walked back along the road I met the emperor's cortege, and as the first carriage passed me I did the worst thing I could have done—I turn- ed my head anvay to avoid -recogni- tion in the lamplight. In a moment the officers stopped, hustled me into the carriage and drove back to the fort. In answer to questions I could only say that I was an Englishman who had been looking on at the man- oeuvres, and that I was on any way to the station, Permission was granted me to get my belongings from the inn, and un- der guard I packed my bag. The of- ficer tried to help me by packing ever thin h ' my brother's e saw , things as well as my own. As I did not want him to know there were two of us, I had surreptitiously to thrust my brother's things into his bed. On the way out, when the officer was not looking, I left a warning note skewer- ed to the candle, and then I was tak- en to the capital and placed under es- pionage in a hotel, although I was al- lowed the freedom of the city. Eventually my brother joined me. We were virtually prisoners, watched queen Mary's Sliver Wedding Shower by detectives, and our only chance lay in making a bold dash for freedom. We let it be known that, tired of sus- picion, we were about to take a train and leave the country- We mentioned the name of the station,, and the hotel detective telephoned to the police on t duty there. We entered our cab and drove down the street toward the sta- 1 tion until we were out of sight. Then i we told the driver to change his . course to another station. This ne- cessitated our going to the river' and taking the ferry. We paid our cab- man and macre our way to the shore, where we found a boat that had al- ready been arranged for. From this we safely boarded a British steamer and, as two of the crew, passed out of the country. VALUE OF CARRIER PIGEONS.

All the armies are devoting much attention to the breeding and training of carrier pigeons. For some time after the war began the day of the birds in battle was considered done. Rudiography and the aeroplanes were thought to have displaced them in the intelligence service. Nevertheless, the different war offices took immediate steps to seize all the pigeons of the carrier breed to prevent them being used by enemy spies. But rapidly the value of the birds in the novastyle of warfare was recognized, Now they are in the front lines; they accompany the men in attack; they go with the aviators over sea and land; they are aboard the war ships, And they are always faithful bearers of tidings, be it good or ill. Written on the thinnest tissue paper, the mesages, are tucked into a little tube attached to the right leg, the pigeon is liberated and, after soaring about for a moment to tnalce sure of his direction, he is off for his nest at headquarters.
