Another case showed green hills, apple blossoms, and the spring birds.

In the Vienna Arbeiter-Zpitung an Austrian war correspondent describes a visit to Rousselaere, where there were two Canadians in hospital. "I asked them, 'Why do you come here to Belgium from Quebec and Winnipeg?' 'We ask you the same question,' was the reply. 'What have you Germans got to do in Belgium? We have come, from Canada to chase you out.' I liked the answer. One of them was a young clerk, and the other had worked in a newspaper office. office. 'So there is really enthusiasm for the war in Canada?' I queried. 'Great enthusiasm; all yzho join the army do so voluntarily. From my family three brothers have joined besides besides myself.

British School Children Write Essays on the War. The interest of children in the war at different ages was the subject of a paper in the psychological section of the British Association recently by Dr. C. Kimmins, of Southwark, who said in order to obtain information as to the special interests of children at different ages in regard to the "war essays essays were written by all the children in' 10 senior departments, five boys and five girls,"of elementary schools, says the London Chronicle. No preparation preparation was allowed, and no notice given. The children were told to Write as much as they could about the war in 15 minutes. In all 3081 papers were written, 1,511 boys, 1,570 girls. A little girl, aged 11, wrote: The origin of the war was this: That when the German Emperor was at Windsor he insulted Queen Victoria, Victoria, and so King Edward smacked him round the face. The German Emperor,,, said: 'I'll be avenged,' and hence the war." A boy of 12f wrote: "The advantage of the war is that the men have learned learned to knit"; and another boy wrote: "The main disadvantage of war is that girls must remain old maids because because there will not be., any meti left." THE AFTERMATH OF BLOOD. Red Poppy Crop on Battlefields of France. There is a brisk discussion in France between the scientific people and the sentimental, tradition-loving peasants. It has been noticed that all jbhe battlefields of northern France where blood was shed last year are a-wave with red poppies, which grow everywhere and border all the roads. The peasants see in it the aftermath of the blood shed in the fights of last autumn. Scientific men point/ out that it is merely the natural result of the fields being thrown out of cultivation. But at least the peasants have tradition on their side. The dreadful battle of Landen in 1693, when the victorious French and the defeated allies left on the field between them some twenty thousand dead, produced a similar phenomenon. ' Lord Perth, writing to his sister in the following summer, described the appearance of the field in words which gave Macaulay an opportunity for a characteristic flight. "During many months the ground was strewn with skulls and bones of horses and men. . . . The next summer the soil, fertilized by twenty thousand corpses, broke forth into millions of poppies. The traveller who on the road from Sant Tron to Tirlemont saw that vast sheet of scarlet spreading from Landen Landen to Neerwind en could hardly help fancying that the figurative prediction of the Hebrew prophet was literally accomplished and that the earth was disclosing her blood and refusing to cover the slain."
