C. R. Bennett, attached to a Warwick- shire Regiment of the Imperial Army, to his father in Montreal. "We marched out of the village about three o'clock in the afternoon," be says, "and after a very hard Over very bad roads we ar- rived at a barn where two companies of the regiment we were to be at- tached to--until our own battalion arrived--were preparing to go into the trenches that evening as soon as it was dark. It was a black night and raining hard, and the nearer we got to the trenches the worse the roads became. The regiment we were to go in with were old bands and knew the ropes well," "Before we got to the communica- tion trench proper, we had to enter a trench to get through a rising bit of ground, for at this peint the bul- lets were whining overhead, just to remind us that we were in it at last. Well, this trench proved to be not less than three feet deep in water which gave us a delightful sensation about the legs. We at length reach- ed the dug-out we were to pass the night in. It was about five feet high and five feet wide by about twenty-four feet long, and the floor was wet and muddy. We sat on our packs and as sleep was out of the question our friends soon made some bot tea which put new life into us. There were three other N. C. O.'s beside myself of our battalion, and we took it in turns to slither about the trench during the night to see how men were posted and made our- selves acquainted with their periods of duty, ete. "During the night all the men were ordered to turn out, except those on sentry duty, to clean up the trench. 1 thought at the time that daylight would have been a befter time to do such work, but I learned on enquiry that it was done to keep the circulation going and therefore prevent frost bite, a complaint which is exceedingly painful, and every- thing possible is being done to mini- mizé it When the light arrived I had a pot at the enemy over the parapet, and somehow [I felt it was worth the journey of the night be- | fore, to be able to do that. 'After four days' instruction, onr own' battalion relieved the regiment we had been with and then we car- ried on the good work for another four days in which we 'experienced some horrible weather conditions. The trenches were knee deep In many places and thigh and waist deep in mud. More than one poor chap got hopelessly stuck, and it proved an exceedingly hard task to get them out again," An Ancient Superstition. Superstition still survives In County Antrim, and an illustration was recently furnished by a remark- able, incident which occurred at a place called Aghadalgan, near Crum- lin. A few weeks ago a farmer was working in a field about 200 yards from his dwelling-house, when the latter was broken into and a sum of £50 abstracted. He advised the Crumlin police, who proceeded to make investigations, but were un- able (o find the slightest clue that would lead to the detection of the criminal. On the following day, ac- companied by his brother, the farmer | return in the evening a story got eir- | culated that they had been in con- | sultation with a witch, who produced a mirror, in which was reflected the guilty person, and that she assured them the lost money would soon re- turn. And, behold, on the nest morning, when tha rural postman was coming in from his rounds, he discovered, on a window-ledge at the Rose's Lane Ends Post Office, a small parcel addressed to the farmer, which on being opened was found to contain £45 10s, It is stated that the farmer intends to consult the Belfast witch again about the bal- ance not returned. ' Sex Antagonism Stopped. One of the most subtle results of the war is the far-reaching change in the relations of the sexes to each other. "Before the scraps of paper came to be torn up there was a great deal of sex-antagoniam about, but the declaration of war seemed to blow it away as if by magic. in stantly, the sexes fell into their pro- per places, the men to fight for their homes, the women to stop there and "carry on." Like all great things, It was wonderfully simple, and we never noticed it. till months affer- wards. - "But I doubt whether this happy state of affairs will last," says Mrs. Chirton Braby in a London, Eng. newspaper. "With all my heart | would it might so prove. But to me it seems that the mest bitter war of all will be the sex war to come. Not, perhaps, quite in the near here. after, but, roughly speaking, within a few years of peace." To Exclude All Aliens, At a communication of the Grand Lodge of England in London recently the Duke of Connaught was unani- mously re-elected Grand Master of | England Free Masonry, for the en- suing year. In June of last year, Grand Lodge decided that in order ta prevent the peace and harmohy of the craft being disturbed it was ne- cessary that all brethren of German, Austrian, Hungarian, or Turkish birth should not during the continu- ande of the war attend any Masonic meeting of Any description. It was determined at this meeting to extend this restriction "uniil Grand Lodge, after the treaty of peace has been signed, should otherwise determine," which might result in a perpetual ex- |. alien clusion of all brethren efiomy. birth, The British invasion of German East Africa has been carried further into the interior, and one of the British columns is now confronted n of 1916. BRITISH PRISONERS. Baron Newton Says That Ger~ many is Not Discriminating London, June 1.-Diseussing in the House of Lords yesterday the con- dition of British prisoners in Ger. many, Baron Newton, Under-Secre- tary for Foreign ANairs, said their condition was much better than at the beginning of the war, and that it was unjustifiable to contend that Germany discriminated against Brit- ish prisoners. y Moreover, Baron Newton added, it was cruel to suggest, as had heen done, that British prisoners were lit- erally starving. Every week 100. 000 parcels went from Britain to Ger- many, which was an average of three parcels per man per week. It was an exaggeration to say that without these parcels they would starve, be- cause there were a million Russian prisoners in Germany who received no parcels, A vast majority of the German population, said Baron Newton, were probably in a condition of compara- tive hunger owing to the British blockade, and prisoners naturally would share that hunger.
