His inflexible rule is that there must be courtesy and a smile for customers, But his pet aversion is the stereo typed phrase of courtesy. There are too many words in the dictionary, with such .a wide range of courtesy meaning, he says, that such phrases a8 "What can I do for you to-day, lady." and "Thank you, madame," are inexcusable.

In the Cam- { brai attack his plan was to push the cavalry through after the tanks and infantry had cléared the way, and 80 by the suddenness of the attack cut off part of the German army be- fore Cambrai. At least one squad- ron of the cavalry lived up to his expectations, and if it had _been pos- sible for the whole brigade to equal the exploit, it is difficult to measure what the vietory would have been, It was now five o'clock, and the atpmn day was closing in. Stra- chan began to realize that something Was wrong . He despatched two troopers to go back to Mesniers to see why no reinforcements had come, The men lost their horses, but got back to the lines , Crossing a field Strachan spied some infantry com- ing down a sunken road to Rumilly. Dividing his troop he sent part, to the right to follow a depression in the land which led down to the level of the road. Giving the signal to the other column that a sunken road was ahead; the troopers charged straight ahead, sabres drawn, making the drop of several feet right on top of a machine-gun battery, The battery wiped out, and the Canadian troopers in possession of the sunken road, they disnmiounted and decided to await reinforcements there. As darkness settled down and the rain, which had kept up at intervals all day, became more per- sistent, Strachan decided 'to stam pede his horyy, thus drawing the machine-gun fire of the enemy, and in the confusion to get away towards Mesniers on foot.

By CAROLYN CORNELL. The attack on Cambrai in Novem- ber ,1917, was a complete surprise to the Germans. ° The time was pro- pitious for the British, as the Teu- tons had withdrawn many of their men. to other fronts, and those re- turning from Russia, who were now no longer there, on account of the fall of the government of that coun- try, had not yet been brought ip to the western front. Sir Douglas Haig made his prepa- rations with great care. The tank was to make its name in this bat- the lead to amswer the challenge of enemy patrols. They had not gone far when the challenge came. The French-Cana- dian played his part excellently, and before the officer of the patrol knew what he was ahout the Canadians had surrounded his party and taken: them prisoner. Strachan had taken compass directions from the spire of the Rumilly church, but later, when directions became confused, he com- pelled the captured German officer to zuide his party back to Mesniers. They arrived there at midnight, bringing back more prisoners than the original strength of the squad- ron . EMPLOYMENT 'SERVICE OF CANADA But He who pays in cold, spot cash Makes quite a hit with me.
