A section of our company, was up to the com- munication morning fixing front t l i n e this a co munication trench that had, caved in. They had a machine gun turned'. on 'them and two were' bit in the legs. They must have been about 1200 yards from the line, but the Germans are on, higher ground, and we get careless and take some big chalices. fine, nerves arein So farspite my of the fact that I've been close to bursting shells, 1t is the big shells, not the rifle fire that gets your nerves. The shock of a high explosive shell bursting close, is hard .medicine to take. Our artillery has been slap- ping it to them all days.' When a par- ticularly noisy big shell goes over the boys just say "Xmas greetings from George to Bill," I have just come down from the line after six days in. Today is the last day of the year and they, have been celebrating it (both sides) by throwing over shells of all sizes and calibre ; but it is quiet this evening, probably at midnight they will ex- change "Good Wishes" in the shape of more shells. There was no truce of anykind on our front Xmas day. One of the boys in the battalion we relieved told me the Huns put up a white flag, but our boys were not having any, of it. 'rhe line all took a shot at it, so it was very promptly pulled down, They have not played the game square, so we dont want any talk feasts until we have wound up "their watch on the Rhine." ' On. 'C'hristmas night we had a turkey ° supper in an old school -house back of the line. The Colonel supplied the turkey. The Lord knows where he got them ; I haven't seen a fowl of any description since 1 cause here. We had a little entertainment and everything ended up fine. Last time in the trenches we were only thirty-five yards from the Huns. A poor chap was killed about twenty feet from us. He was bit by a rifle grenade. I was one of the boys, detailed off to carry him out, so we waited until it was dark, and then carried , him out over land, as it is a. hard job to keep to the tren- ches with a stretcher load. Our bat- talion has a little burying ground a ' couple of utiles back of the trenches: Our Colonel wont have his boys bur- ied around the trenches, He is a fine old fellow. The only incident noticeable the last time in happened the night before we came out: Three Germans came over close throwing bombs ; the bop; opened up rapid fire on them. They were all wounded, but two crawled away in the darkness. The other one, was mortally wounded and died in about two hours. We 'could hear pian moaning and groaning outside of our parapets and saying "God Strafe Eng- land." Pie quieted: down before the daylight, and one of our boys crawl- ed out and took Itis shoulder badges and buttons. He belonged to the 137th Prussian Infantry. Poor devil he died hard. You see a lot of this sort of thing in this game, but you soon get used to it. °Auburn Mr. Harpy of North Dakota is spending a week with his sister, Mrs. Robertson of Walkerburn. e ertsoe is "'visiting Mr. Archie Rub g Itis sister, Mrs. -Wilson of London, who is seriously ill with pneumonia.

What wonder that the tnadden'ed.and venge- ful partisans of espionage, incendiar- ism and murder are at once suspec- ted. Suspected ! This suspicion is parts of, the inevitable harvest of distrust which Germany reaps, and must for generations reap, from her wild sow- ing, in every free land, of her care- fully lawlessness, fertilized l ' f rtfl'zed seeds of s ness brutality, and hate. The German war -lords and their intellectual apol- ogists have perverted the mind of official Germany.'' Their code of mor- als is the code of. the Huns. For then and for their disciples there is no Right and no Wrong when: the o German �t rs - supposed a to e 61 the t State is involved, For them, as Bern- hardi taught in San Francisco and elsewhere in the United States, "The the State is above morality , Ten Commandments are meaningless, the invasion of Belgium is "military ne- cessity," the sinking of the Lusitania is "lawlull," • and the icing of th? American Club, like the murder of Edith Cavell, is justified if it inspir- es fear of the German State. All these things follow logically, if the State is above morality," The incurable folly of the Prussian mind, its dunderhead- edness, its hopeless incapacity for understanding either the Bri- tish or the American type, is man- ifested, ever since the war began, in these atrocities and barbarities of which the United States bas had enough to open the President's eyes to some aspects of the position. He may wishthat nowhe had been more firmhanded in August, 1014.

Its Magic Restored to Its Pedestal HIS Tottering Dignity. One day during his prosperous "Adonis" time in London Henry 81. Dixey was walking In the Strand when he met an American actor. He be- longed to the order of self satisfied per- sons who live to ^its out the im re - Mon that the man they deign to speakeak to is specially singled out by an indul- gent providence for high favor. This particular haughty one had obviously made acquaintance with misery. His clothes were seedy, and there were written all over him the signs of press• ing want. "Hello, old man, how are you getting on?" was the Dixey hail. "Very well, I thank you, sir," replied the unbending one, "Doing anything jest now?" queried Dixey. "Well, no, 1 may candidly say I'm not. These plebeian hounds over here do not estimate art at its proper value, and I have refused, in deference to my dignity, to accept anything less than I consider my services worth, I may be out of an engagement temporarily, but, thank heaven 1 have of degraded m vJ soli by taking any paltry advances, and I still consider myself n gentle- man," Then be added, In a lower and less aggressive tone, "13ut I most candidly own that the pangs of hunger may, soon make me forget my prtffcssional dignity, as I Beige not had a mouthful to eat in two days." "For heaven's sake," exclaimed the pitying; Dixey, "take this and get some- thing to eat!" And he laid in the starv, ing man's hapd n sovereign. With the touch of gold in his con. sciousness the recipient's face under- went a magical change. Halting a passing cab, he turned to Dixey and said; "Thanks, old fellow. I'll return this in a couple. of days. Cabby, drive me to the Cafe Royal." And away be went to spend that precious sovereign at a single throw. His pride as a gentleman must not be allowed to suffer. • WIIY NOT, FLORIDA FOR YOUR WINTER 'POUR ?

They Sometimes Get a Jolt, as One of Them Did In Paris. 1t would appear that the public serve. ant, no matter how small his position, or humble his function, is much the same person in France as in this coup. try, manifesting much the same lack of courtesy as that which meets us so often here. Recently in one of the departments' of a Parisian mayoralty, toward mid- day, a little old employee was about to begin munching' a bunch of carrots. Some one rapped at the door. No re, sponse from the little' employee. The person who had rapped entered. "Monsieur," he began. "Come back at 2 o'clock," growled the little employee, as he continued to gnaw away at the vegetables. "But"- "No buts about it. Come back al 2 o'clock." "i am the new chief of the bureau," said tho visitor. At once the little employee jumped up, trying to hide the bunch 01 carrots behind his back, as he bowed deeply to the visitor. "Go before me," said the chief, "and show me, If you please. to my W. reau." The little employee was greatly em. barrassed by his carrots, He .did not know where to put them. The chief took pity on him. "My, friend," he said, "put down your car. rots. There is no shame in eating vegetables.
