The ground is honeycombed with shell holes. The main street no longer exists, for its place has been taken by trenches and barbed wire. At the back of the old church is the Princess Pat's cemetery in which lie a large number of the heroes of Can- ada's crack regiment. But the Huns, no respectors even of the dead, have deluged even that sacred spot with crosses fie around in confusion in the shell holes. St. Eloi, once a pretty little village, no longer exists, On the ground where it stood the earth has taken on a bright red tinge, showing | where the houses have been ground to powder and mingled with the soil. Only this difference in color tells the observer that he stands on the gite of st. Eloi.

Most of them have at times been visited by long distance shells and bombs from airs craft, but are still wwns. In them our armies live when in reserve and tind life fairly tolérable. Compared with life in the trenches a week billets is like heaven, 0° @ respite from hell. That gives an idea of the appear- ance of Belgian towns and cities. The country places need little des- cription. As much of the land as is outside the zone of intense shell fire is under cultivation. Oats and bar- ley are the main crops. Beets and some places, and everywhere cin pe seen fields of hopa, growing to a height of from twenty to thirty feet. Most of the farming is done by girls and old men. It is a usual thing to see two girls dragging a plough while the third guides it along the furrows. They are strong, sturdy girls, with litte beauty to boust of, but great work- ers. They are brave, Loo, for 1 re- member seeing one quietly taking in a crop of potatoes, while shrapnel | flew over her head. The farmhouses are decidedly ng- ly. The barnyards are places of filth and disorder. Pigg and chick eps find their food in a biz manure pie set down just outside the kitch- en door. The inhabitants do. not mind it. It is quite the usual thing. But a Canadian is slightly disgusted at the way in which all sanitary pre- cautions are disregarded. The people of Belgium have been a great disappointment to the sol- diers who went there expecting to he hospitable, kindly people. It must be undérstood that this applies only to the people living in the part of Belgium occ the British armies.
