Terrible Havoc Caused by a Single Chance Shot. "There is no romance loft in war; it is a dirty business, and every one of us who is in it is determined that when we finish the,; war, it shall be so thoroughly finished that nobody will ever start another," Thus writes a 'British transport eaptain in a letter to an English newspaper ,deserihing how 'ie lease fust lost twenty of hes mon, gal • though thay nrr' nearly a dozen miles behind the front. thrnnalr a shell fro:n a German long-rrn•,e naval gun fifteen miles away. '1'ha shell was a chance shot. Here is tl.e 'aptain's story: "We have descended nn a wer of stink -pots, of spectt.eled �h it•istt: leering horribly in obscur' laborator- ies while they concoct tin torturcT ;'f the damned, of medit'val poison':' or Eying death from the elends. It i; less Iike war than some elpaa flOLl devilishness which mon is a;, poor- i -- less to control as he was the. vol, canoes which overwhelmed Pompeii or St. Pierre. It is not alone in the forefront of the battle where mon stand face-to-face, but in quiel places far back, when death A:lr a himself with outrageous violen`e stn i suddenness. The dead men Ira, never seen their foe; there 11r•; b'::i no contest, no combat. "1 witnessed an incident to -clay the like of which I have seen befor.', th lilte of which is happening °vela day along these hundreds of miles 01 battle line. Itis as well you should hear of it who have a quiet roof over your heads, who wait plaeidly lender your umbrellas at the street corner for your tram ear. "It was at a cross roads, and a vast amount of traffic was shoving by it, guns and wagons and pantie;; motor lorries and officers on hr,r;• hack and ambulances. Far in frrnt hung motionless in the air the inn^, row of balloons that marked the circle of the front. "It endured perhaps but two ae- e.onds before it prerin,tated that frightful tragedy towards whish it 'vas moving, but every second was an age. Every man who heard it held his breath, "Now the whittle changed to a suttnen plunging roar. A quarter of a ton was falling head- long through space and yet invisible. A rocking crash, and up from the road leaped a volcano of black earth and smoke and stones. The whole air filled itself with shrieking hits of metal, whirling swathes of dust, unci choking fumes. Horses were plung- ing, men cursing. Above all rang the screams of mortal agony, "I gazed with horror Towards the 'pot and saw a wagon lying with its wheels up in the ditch, it:, horses :hying motionless nearby. In the grass by the roadside lay some inert ggures of men whose absolute mo- tionlessness told its own tale. "One thought of the homes snti- denly emptied far away, of mothers and wives and children that would wait in vain. And it has all been done by the unkeen hand that had lust pulled a string fifteen, miles away."

We may be wished A Happy New Year a thousand times, but unless it is put into operation those things which promote happiness all the good wishes will go for naught. Confidence (in ones self) and determination are two of the necessary comodities required to promote happinesss and both of these can be obtained by everyone — in other words the poor man can be just as happy as the mil- lionaire, and the writer ventures to state that the negro in his humble hut down south is (as a rule) just as happy as t hat ofthe millionaire on 5th Ave., New York.
