friday mr and mrs mark varoy of georgetown have taken up their residence here mrs thomas lluico of guolph was a visitor here last week lieut jim pedleys continued from last weelft the channel lies behind and we are lying in an english harbor waiting our turn to unload it is the morning of the 18th just 10 months since i left home i am in my tidy stateroom where it is very comfortable for i do not feel any pain at all except when i walk and then not much three other officers of the battalion are on board all with lucky wounds and england looks very pleasant in the morning sunlight i had seven days in paris sun day night to snnday night and met some jolly fine american boys who warmed right up to me sim ply because i was a canadian and had been at the front they were new york men a couple of them lawyers and one boy of 18 who could not get into his own army so was hellbent to get into the french aviation force one of the gang hod been private secretary to teddy roosevelt they were all clever men and interesting in one way or another i left them at the follies bergore to catch my train amid all wishes for good luok i like paris more now than when i saw it before big cities always seem to glower at you when you arrive but soon they make friendb with you and finally you hate to leave them i went to the invalides saw the captured german guns there and napoleons tomb all covered with sandbags and once more i visited the pan theon to see rodins le penseur of which you know there is repro duction in my room the think er may well have more to think about than when i saw him last on the boulevard st miohel the cafes are still bright and cheery and notre dame with her gargoy les is unchanged by war except that sandbags are around her the little gold braided canada on ray epaulets was all tho intro duction necessary in paris the more blase and worldly wise peo ple were cordial without comment but in the little cafes in bystreets where i sipped italian vermouth i heard frequenters murmuring to one another un canadien it is an open sesame and i think in this lost battle we have dons worthily at any rate on tho morning after i was hit when i lay with many others on stretch ers on the floor of a chateau be hind the lines general currie vis ited us and told us all was going well and how proud he was of our work i suppose the lord has destined me to play a comic part in life at any rate i was the pomodian of our battle after leaving paris i arrived fairly rapidly at a railroad behind ameins a part of the coun try where i bad never been before there were hordes of as a whole trainload of men and officers hue tied up from the coast and they dumped us off at a little town where we oould get no information at all about what next to do i saw oscar pearson there and had quite a talk with him while wait ing for orders but none came it was closing in towards night and anyone could see by the traf fic that something big was pq so i decided to push foward on my own i hopped a lorry tfre driver gave me a blanket so i managed to sleep fitfully and after a few hours of jolting about i left the lorry and hunted up a provost marshalls office in a town where they gavo me a mattress to sleep on in a cel lar they ocoupied next morning i started on again fpllowing dues had lunoh at a brigade headquart ers whioh had arrived only an hour before and shortly afterwards i found my own battalion bivouaoed you know the cost of flour bought in the usual quantities the cost of fuel the possibility of the bread not turning out right not to speak of the time and
