He has heen in Canada for the past three ifunths, recovered from his wounds, and onee more is restored to health, and at present is looking forward to ugain going overseas and doing a *'lit.} tie bit" more for his country. Pte. Hill was among the first to enlist when war was declared, and Joined No. 1 Red Cross General Hos Iital at Montreal on Aug. 6th, 1914, He spent six weeks training in Can- ada and sailed for England on the "Scandanavian" arriving at Salisbury Plains on October 13th, 1914.

There exists in the minds of many civilized people a curious fascination with respect to the idea that in re- mute parts of the tropies, amid the; dark-skinned races, there flourish mystegiously isvlated white tribes bearing a strong resemblance to the! civilized branches of the Caucasian race. Who they are and whence they came no one knows; native fables af ford no explanation. Once it was thought that forgotten white explor ers might have, built up unknown kingdoms in the wild places of the earth, but upon examination these] theories vanish as rapidly as do the! white tribes th€émselves, and the ulti mate explahation is almost prosaic. Yet so strong a hold has the idea gained that even in the beginning of | the 20th century the possibility of the | existence of genuine white races is not altogether scoffed at.

Hill vividly many describes the y harrowing sights he saw in Belgium, after the Huns butchered their way through the country. Vil- lages and towns in complete ruin; the bodies of men, women and children lying in the streets, and fields; the pitiful condition of the people who escaped the' fate of their country- men; the women and children, nearly starved for want of food, following the troops begging for food, ete. The 'ghts, he said, were terrible to wit- s, and only then did the soldiers pegin to understand the savage me thods employed by the kultured Huns. All thesedsights acted as a stimulant to the men, and many a vow was registered that the Germans! would dearly pay for their crimes. He stated that when passing through onegof the towns then recently ge vastated by the Huns, he saw five young ladies nailed to the side of a barn, thefr hands and feet spiked to the wood. They went into the reserve trenth- es at a Belgian village named Dixie- | bush, and gradually moved forward to the firing line Pte. Hill fought | in many engagements, and vividly | | describes hig first charge. He said the éxcitemelil was so intense that | one hardly realizes what he is doing, and that only after the charge is over | does one remember what has happen- ! i] | ed, and then only with a very dim re- | collegtion. Diiring the famous retreat in the | early stages of the war, Pte, Hill was attached to a battalion stationed on the left flank of the British troops, | and states there was absolutely no confusion, and perfect discipline, dur- ing their' movement back. While taking part in a charge near Ypres in April last Pte. Hill was wounded. A German bayonet thrust through the right side laid him low, and he was struck by a fragment of | shrapnel, and to cap it all, he got a i touch of gas. Wounded By Shrapnel. | How long he lay in the field uncon- | scious he does not know, and has a | faint remembrance of receiving first {aid treatment and being carried back | to the base field hospital, where he remained for two weeks. His wounds | had been sufficiently healed to enable | his being nsported to Netly Hos- | pital, Southampton, in which institu- tion he was confined for two months. He speaks very highly of the fine | treatment the wounded received and the kindness extended by the visitors. He then obtained permission to spend a month with friends in Plymouth, | and sailed for Canada on the Megan- | 'tic, grriving at Quebec in August. | Since then He has been visiting friends in Ontario, and once more is | consideréd physically fit to again | take his place in the ranks and to! havé another chance, eagerly looked | forward to, to avenge the terrible | treatment which the Belgians receiv- ed at the hands of the Germans. Pte. Hill describes in very interest: | ing detail trench duty during the early part of the war. Previous to | the formatin of the tobacco fund he | stated, very often the men were with- | out their smokes, and at one time he paid 25 cents for one cigarette, which he nourished and cherished as/long as it was possible. Trench duty during last winter was a very trying ordeal for the men, and at times they were up to their knees in icy cold wa- ter, and many suffered from frozen feet and rheumatism, but the old slo- | gan, "Are we down-hearted? No," | was always foremost. He describes | the havoc made by the famous Ger- man "Jack Johnsons" shells. On one occasion when things were a lit- tle quiet a few of the men prepared a warm meal. They opened their bully beef, and were making a warm drink when one of the Jack Johnsons exploded with terrific force a few feet | from their trench, Five of the men | were killed outright, some wounded, and Pte. Hill was buried in a pile of clay thrown up by the shell, and just able to dig himself out. ~ He was | somewhat bruised, but very thankful | for his escape. dian Mouiited "Rifies, and has spent the last month with his unit at Bar- riefield, and'is now going into wintér quarters.

The American officer was so impress- ed that he determined to conduct an exploring party across the centre of t {gland. But apparently the mys- terio white folk had vanished, for the world has as yet heard nothing of is search being crowned with. sue- cess. Arabia, however, can, with more reason, boast of a white tribe. For years stories of such a race have been told in the Persian Gulf, and an Am erican missionary stationed at Muscat alluded some years ago to 'coffee house babbles in eastern Owan con- cerning a mysterious race of light complexioned people who live some- where in the mountains, shun strang- ers and speak a language all their own," Various theories have been pro- pounded to explain the fable, but probably the explanation is to be found in the narrative of a journey made to Oman in 1876 &y Col. S. B. Miles, a British officer. Col. Miles, in the course of his travels nearly 40 years ago, came across a town named Sheraizi in the heart of the Green mountains. This strange place was perched -like an eagle's nest on the top of a great cliff, and was inhab- ited by people of a lighter skin than the rest of the tribes in the interior. They rarely descended to the plains, and refused to mix with or inter- marry with the Arabss A Collector's Bargain. Lord Spencer of Althorp, one of the greatest of book collectors, was at home only in his own field. One day in browsing about Bond street, Lon- don, he went into the shop of a dealer in bric-a-brac. The dealer, who knew him by sight, said persuasively: "Here. is a fine bit of pottery which your lordship really ought to have, and you shall have it very cheap-- only two guineas." : ! So Lord Spencer bought it and took it home and set it in a high place, | One day a connoisseur of china paid him a visit; and Lord Spencer showed his bargain. | "What did you give for it?" asked the connoisseur. "Two guineas," answered Spencer rather proudly, "H'm!" said the copnoisseur. "At that price'the marmalade should have been included." "What do you mean?" "Why, that precious piece of yours is nothing more or less than a shil- ling marmalade pot with a green thistle painted on it."

One of the party, who is famous in her own communi: locally for her ing in the nature of idle gossip, wrote a let- ter back home to a friend.
