There were very few Canadian sol diers in London, and the ones that were there were looked on as regular curiosities, though everyone treated u: magnificently. . However, it was rathe: embarrassing at times being followed around the streets by people wanting buttons, ete., and hearing on all sides "Oh! 'There's one of the Canadians.' We had a great . time this morning when the king reviewed us. was in the front !rank and the king, the queen, Lords Kitchener, Lord Roberts and, jabout' a dozen others walked down the ranks and looked us all over. 1 could have easily reached out and touched the king, but I would probably have been shot on the spot. The king is a small man, just like his pictures, only he has a red nose, which doesn't show in a picture. The queen is really quite pretty und has a fine complexion. She stopped for a few seconds right in front of me so I had a good chance to admire her. Lord Kitch- ener is a great big red-faced man, just the opposite of Lord Roberts, who looks much older and more bent than when I saw him last. in Otta- wa. His daughter was with him; she 'is a very pretty girl They were talking away together very in- tently . about something not at all connected with us, yet pretending they were very interested. I suppose it's a habit they get. When they were leaving we gave three - cheers with hats on bayonets and they were heard quite plainly by the men at our camp, about three miles away. 1 got several letters and socks, etc., from Kingston. 1 am wearing the socks now. We get lots of socks but most of them are very poor and go in holes in a day, and when you consider that you have to pack every thing you have in a canvass bag and carry it on your back you can't af ford to use that kind of socks be- causs you would have to carry a dozen pairs" or so, and throw them away when worn out. I have three good pairs now and get along finely with them so far. It is getting too dark to see write. any more so I will have to to ER PA A TR RT stop as a candle is all we have at night and it makes a very unsatisfac- tory light for writing or reading. We are all wondering where the people are getting all the addresses to write to. They reach us 0.K., but letters from different localities in Canada all have different addresses."

That would tend to show you that the Germans are be ing very hard pushed, but the war cannot go on at the rate it has been for the last tem days. You do get an idea of how terrible war is here, and I am not seeing the worst of it. The stupendous folly of it all, and the pity and havoc are so ter- rible." Kingston Corps In Close Touch Lieut. J.
