We hastened our foot stepd homewards. The first thing we observed was aw' automobile . standing opposite the main entrance. In the hoyse we found ourselves in the presence of a German officer of medinm build. He bowed very low to my wife and myself, and then 6x- plained that the automobile standing at the door in charge of three soldiers belonged to him. He. sdpoke the .

We could hardly refuse it, although, can- didly, we did not relish the proposi- tion in the least. I explained that the hoube was full of refugees, whe were our relatives; that they had been with us for over a week, and that under the circumstances it would be dificult, if not quite impossible, to find fitting accommodation - for him. He insisted, however, saying the three soldiers who accompanied him--#& chduffeur, and orderly and « valet---oould sleep in the garage, and he alone would require a room in our house. | thought that in stating my * nationadity he might 'change , his mind; so 1 said to him: "1 am very anxious to return with my wife to Caanda, for I am a Canadian, conse- quently a British subject." : "I know that," he replied. "I know that." - I have to confess that I was aston- ished to ldarn that he knew my na- tionality. What -a- marvellous ser- vice of espionage these Germans had! "Yes," he added, *'l can say def: nitely that you must not leave Bel- glum. There is nothing to prevemt you remaining here, éven if you are a British subject.

We would receive this officer in the house, find decommoda- lon for his servants, and, for our- selves, we would remain in Capellen. As a matter of fact, we were very happy to be able to reach this deci- gion, as Capellen, at that time, had no other medieal doctor. = Several of the local physigidns had joined the army, and others had gone to FHol- land. 1 might, therefore, be able to render some service hy remaining.

Naturally, he believed in the superiority of the German race He boasted of Ger- man culture. He was convinced German industry was destined to mo- nopolize the world's markets. He insisted that France was degenerate, that Britain had not, and would | never have, a powerful army, and said Dunkirk and Calais would sure ly be captured within a few weeks, ete, ete., ete. During October and November of that year, it was possible, although the frontier was guarded by German gentries, to cross into Holland on any pretext whatsoever.

At the distance of about one kilometre from the frontier, al post. of inspection and coptfol was established. Here on Christmas day the most absolute control of pass- ports was ordered. No one could cross unless provided with a permit issued by the German administration in Antwerp. We were, therefore, at that time cut off from all communi- cation with the eutside world. Winter had ¥ome; distréss was great in Belgium, and but for the foodstuffs and clothing forwarded from the United States and Capada--- but fur the charitably disposed rich families, - who can tell what horrors the population of the occupied terri- jory would hake gone through.

The . welcome announcement fis made that Harry Lauder, who has been aptly described as "the world's greatest entertainer," will appear at the Grand Opera House on Tuesday |- evening, Jan, 14th, for the one night only. This will be a surprise, for there has been a very prevalent be- lief that this past master of homely song characterization would not be geen in the United States again owing to his well-known desire to retire, Having yielded, however, to insls- tent demands for a tour of Australia, | he has consented to pay a few dates en reute to the Antipodeés The American. tour covers a period of only twelve weeks, part of which will be devoted to Canada, At the close of the American tour he will sail di- rect to Australia, where he openg at Melbourne on April 30th of next vear. > For this tour Mr. Lauder has writ- ten a number of new songs. The principal ones are "Back, Back to! Where the Heather Grows," "When 1 Was Twenty-one," and 'There is Somebody Waiting for Me." He will, it is announced, also revive sev- eral of the old favorites thit have become so thoroughly associated with his name and which never lose their flavor for Awerican audiences.

The spirit of the day is--make mu- sie, Make music yourseif. Every one of us can sing or play. The trouble is we were getting into a lazy habit of letting other people make music for us. Music:was beginning to be unconsciously looked upon by spme as a sort of mild narcotic. It could be purchased at a nominal cost. it was sweetly soothing, capable -of driving away dull care, resting the mind and giving one real enjoyment. Oued She eased off in playing or sing. imself it' became doubly easy to Jone sink an easy chair and enjoy mu- asa die po at alt if pos- ible. 3 That music dan produde this seoth- ing effect is beyond debate, and it is 4 bléssing for which humanity can aever be too thankful. ; But the ex- treme must be guarded against. The spirit of to-day is--mdke music. It is not necessary to have a trained voice to sing. ¥ It is not obligatory {or the adnlt to go back and pursue a course Of piano study, the child's way, in order to play the plane. The mvention of that wonderful player siano mechanism has overcome that handicap.

The trend of the times is to be active, not passive, musically: . Girls' Drum Gorps te Rescue. The employees of a large store, who were desirous of doing some- thing to. promote patriotic work, had several schemes in mind. Along came someone with the proposal--- why not form a girls' drum corps, This could participate in parades; open air meetings and the like. The suggestion caught on at once, In a few days applications began scheme for membership in the corps. Soon eighty-five' girls were equipped with drum and bugle outfits and re heéarsals began in earnest.

In others the piano was load- ed down with photos in frames, vases, curios 'and other odds and ends like the ordinary mantel. Again in other homes the music was allow- ed to le around in a slovenly fash- fon instead of being put away neatly in the music cabinet. ' In one or two instances the visiting teacher learned that a brother or sis- ter or mother was capable of playing duets with the pupil. In another home the father played the violin very well' for an amateur. = These points were all noted. Where theré were mistakes to be corrected a sug- gestion tactfully made solved the diffieulty. And where it was found that other members of the family were musical, that fact was kept in mind in the pupil's further studies, The experience of this teacher shows clearly that for one who has the pu- pils come to his studio an occasional lesson at the home pays.
