ON BARRIEFIELD HEIGHTS A VESSEL IN TROUBLEWHLE NAKNG Te STEAMER BARN WHITTAKER | KINGSTON SOLDIER 'HAD TO RUN | § 'WITH THE OVERSEAS TROOPS Few people realize the quality of | the men in Barriefield camp, Some could be accused of forgetting that | the vast majority of the men are college students or college graduates and professional men, who would bring credit on any organization of which they are members and this is what they intend to do at Barrie- field camp. Major R. F. Massie is fortunate in having under his com- mand probably the finest aggregation of athletes that have ever been gath- ered together.

Authority has been given to the committee to have the R.C.H.A. band make the trip and it is understood that arrangements are being made, for an excursion.

McCartney, 231 University | avenue, has received a very interest- | ing letter from her nephew, Nelson McCartney, with the 21st Battalion, which reads as follows: "I think we are settled now for a while. We just got back from a | forty-eight hour job or thereabouts. | We were introduced to the firing line tand thhigs were very interesting to us. I enjoyed it very much. I rea- | lize quite a good deal now,.and hope | to realize mqre yet. You should | have seen me digging into a square! meal yesterday. A couple of chums | {and I were sent out to look for ra- tions, and wé came across a real | live restaurant, in a town.

I find the, | French money much easier to get on | to than the English tupence, etc. Some things are dear but I think, on| the whole, this country is cheaper living for the poor soldier than in! England. I had a beautiful ride this morning on a lumber wagon over the cobble stone roads. Do you | know they would not let us make! any tea in the line yesterday. The | water was boiling, and I was just| going to pour in the tea but I didn't | | get very far. I dropped the tea and! ducked into a"dug-eut'. "I heard a funny one yesterday, about a member of the 29th who was in the first line of trenches, playing with a periscope. An officer came | along and just at that moment a bul- let struck the sand bag by the peris- | cope. The private was 'going to] bob up his head over the parapet and the officer made him bob down again. | The officer asked him what he meant | { by sticking his head up over, 'Oh' he | | said, 'There is'no use of looking| through the periscope, | they only | | knock that. to pieces.'
