Nothing is more amazing to the soldier newly arrived near the fight- ing line than the attitude the peasants .i,., ]+ranee adopt towards the war. One talks of tete phlegmatic British, but few people could be more phlegmatic than the French workers on tete land. Let me take you into the arena of war. We are 'leaving the cobbled market square of the shell -shattered little village tlu'ee miles behind our trenches. The dusty lane leads from the' square to the close zone of war. As we want along there is the wouff, wouff! of the Gorman Amities, shelling one of our patrol aeroplanes. We gaze up, to see the black bursts dotting the sky—to see our airman skilfully banking and twisting to avoid being hit, The young corn, waving green on each aide of us, presents the false idea of peace. There are women - workers here and there on those fields, backs bent to tho scorching sun, their heads"protected by huge straw sou - bonnets. They do not look up. A well -hidden British battery fires a half -salvo. It makes us start. To those brown -faced daughters of France it is the 001111non event of the day. The fall of en anti-aircraft "dud" creates interest for them only if it falls a few yards from them. These French people, who live their whole life in communion with the silent; waving fields are So nega- tive. We wonder why they are not the volatile people we anticipated, Our soldiers are wearing steel helmets and gats -masks, but the peasants world not he encumbered with any such pro. teeticn. Their whole demeanor semis to suggest a certain fatallsin. "If a shell 1s meant for us it will bit US, no platter how or where we live, or what we do," is their mental attitude. Those young French women are Wonderful. Wherever you go It is the sante. They are no at, sunrise, and work Ineessautly until dark. There aro no intervals for food, or practically none. A dozen spells may drop in the field where they aro at work. They do not show their alarm, although they must feel frightened. Their itrGnfolk are at Kati', and oc- casionally they 00010 back from their part of the line to their tiny thatched cottage homes, still In the danger - zone. We marvel that they should riot get to Paris, or as far away Prolix rho war as possible; hilt roar cannot destroy the ties of Moine, so they come back here to spend their leave within Mind of the guns, Of Supreme Necessity Every soldier's kit must contain certain things if he is to pre- sent that smart ap- pearance which is so necessary in our Army. of these probably (ho • most important is his razor - it must "stand -up" under all conditions — it must be ready at all time so that he can get a clean, velvety, comfortable shave in the shortest time.

New Zealand troops entered fian- paume, after being conspicuous in the close fighting that went before it:: fall. The Australian masterly capture of St. Quentin on Saturday morning will rank as one of the great single feats of this war. The Australians n.t,st be very unpopular at the moment with the German Gen- oral Staff. The Canadians—we fol- low, it will be observed, the odor of time of recent notable feats by Do- minion troops—have won imperish- able fame by heir breach of the Dro- eourt-Queant line. The Canadicns have many glorious achievement:: to their credit, but they have never surpassed their great deed of- September 2, • when they pierced defensive system which even the most sanguine experts believed would take much time to subdue, says the London Times. This is a bare record of what has been done in the battle by 17100 from overseas. They would be quick to re, sent the odiousness of comparisons- alert to insist on the compact com- radeship of tha British Armies, and indeed of the Armies of the Alliance. That is the mortar of the structure of victory which rises steadily before the eyes of an astonished Germany. But we in this country have special reason to observe—so that we may keep than in our memory—the ren logs of Dominion troops. The mat- eriae has been abundant in this batle. That Impregnable Line. The Hindenburg or Wotan line which the Canadians smashed through, on the 2nd of September is thus described by the Doily Tele- graph: The Drocourt-Queant, or Wotan line, the extension northward of the colossal system of field fortifications named after Hindeburg, is a deep belt of defences, with its multiplex trench systems and jungles of barbed wire, sown thick with machine gun places. It was the protection of much more than the great concentration of Ger- man troops moved up to stem the British advance in this quarter. It covered the enemy's whole readjitsted plan of campaign; the gigantic move- ment of retreat in which he has been engaged for the pest few weeks de- pended upon tete legendary impregna- bility of the so-called "switch" line running northwards from the junction with the main Hindenburg like oppo- site Bulleeourt. Would itbeassaulted now? That was the question troubling many minds during the week -end; for this would be the trench war come again with a vengeance, a frontal attack upon long -prepared positions and those of a strength reputed to Toe far greater than the strength against which French and British blows had been dealt in vain in the past two years. It was a time o fpainful suspence, opened for the prospectp by a success- ful assault would be as dazzling g as the effect of o failure would be die - heartening after so much vietory. But the nation at home trusted ,and with good reason, in the generalship at work in its cause; it felt confident that no rash decision would lower the towering prestige won by the armies since their record of triumph opened. s• A. coil spring attachment has been invented for holding wash boards in tubs.

CORNS 'LIFT OUT WITH FINGERS You say to the drug store man, "Give 100 0 small bottle of freezone," This will cost very little but will positively itoutove every hard or soft corn or cal- lus from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness in- stantly, and soon the entire Dorn or callus, root and all, dries up and eau be lifted off with the lingers. This new way to red one's feet of corns was Introduced by a Cincilinati man, who says that freezone dries in a moment, and simply shrivels up the rem or callus without irritating the surrounding skin. Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whittling at his corns, but clip this out and make him try it. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to order ae small bottle from his wholesale drug blouse for you. Deaf Airmen. The Americans have made' an as- tonishing discovery. They have found out that deaf mutes can be turned into efficient aviators. There are, in fact, certain points Where the deaf man has a distinct advantage over the man who can hear. For ;ons thing, deaf people are never sea -sick. They never grow dizzy when in high altitudes—neither mountains nor clouds .hold any ter- rors for them, and they have no feel- ing of dread. This is due to the fact that deaf mutes do not possess any sense of motion. Another point in favor of the deaf airman is that he is not .worried by the explosions of aeroplane engines. The fact that he lacks one sense keys up all his others. Iff the tests which are now being g conducted in America continue to bear good fruit, a deaf-and-dumb man will not In the future be necessarily disqualified for the Flying Service. Jolly Optimists.

"Is this good?" he asked suddenly, taking up a volume by himself. "I don't know; I've not read it," replied the bookseller. Kipling frowned.
