"I suffered for three years with serrible Eczema. 1 eonsulted several doctors and they did not do me any good. Then, I used one box of "Sootha Salva"and two boxes of' Fruit-a-tives' and my hands are now clear. The pain is gone and there has been no return, I think it is marvellous becausano other medicine did me any good until I used "Sootha-Salva" and "Fruit-a-tives", the wonderful medicine made from fruit".

On March 29th we suddenly | shifted our headquartets to Chateau |de la Hale. Here we were told that we had to be ready to move again at Very bad news had come from the South, for the Germans were advancing, and our Fifth Army had been pushed back. The enemy had now got the initia- tive into his hands, and things were exceédingly serious. The Americans would not be ready for some tima, and the question was how to stay the the Germans were hurling against us. An order from General Currie, couch- ed in beautiful language, told us that there was to be no retreat for Cana- dians, and that, if need be, we should fall where we stood. There was no panic, only firmer resolve and great- er activity in every department. Though I made a point of never questioning our staff about war sec- rets. I soon became aware that our Division was to be sent South to stem the oncoming tide, Every night the 4th Divisional concert party gave an entertainment in the theatre, which was crowded with men. A stranger could not have told from the roars of laughter which shook the audience from time to time that we were about to face the fiercest ordeal of the war. The 2nd Brigade was quartered round nus first, and one night in the theatre an officer appeared in front of the stage between the acts and ordered all the officers and men of the 5th Battal- ion Who were present to report at once at their headquarters. Instantly the men got up and left, the rows of vacant eeats looking quite tragle. The play went on. Again, another bat tallon, and another, was called off The audience dwindled. It reminded one of the description in the "Tale of Two Cities" of the condemned men in prison waiting for the call of the executioner. Before the close of {the performance the theatre was al- most empty. The 2nd Brigade moved away that night and the 3rd Brigade took their places the next day. 1 knew that they, too, would have to move suddenly, so I arranged that at night we should have a service fol- | lowed by a Celebration of the Holy | Communion in the theatre after the play was over. Once again the build- en (get a chance of seeing yourself as|ing was crowded with an enthusias- tic audience, and after the play was ended I announced the service. To my astonishment most of the men stayed and others crowded in, so we {must have had nearly a thousand (men present. The concert party had received orders to pack up their sce- nery immediately and move off; so while I was on the stage getting the altar ready the scene shifters were hard at work behind me. In spite of this disturbance we had a wonderful things, were upcn us. We were the champ- ions of right, and I asked them to 80 forth in the power of God and do their duty. Then I began the Com- munion Service. The colours of the flag which hung over the altar glow- ed like an inspiration, the two altar lights shone like stars above it. At the back of the stage (but we heeded them not) were the busy men pack- ing up scenery. We sang the hymn "0 God our help in ages past," and at the time of communion about two hundred officers and men mounted the stage in turn and knelt in rows to receive the Bread of Life.

S., who Was starting at once, kindly offered to take me with him in an ambul- ance. Alberta and I, with two or three men, got Into the vehicle, and I bade farewell for the last time to Chateau de 1a Hale. It was a bright moonlight night and the air wag cold, but the roads were dry and dusty. The A. D. M. S., who' was the only person who Knew our destination, sat in front With the driver and told him the var- lous turns to take. Clouds of dust blew back into the ambulance as we sped onward. It was a curious expe- dition.' The war seemed to be more real than ever. One felt that a new page in its history was being turned. I wondered what was in store for us and what our experience were going to be. I was also surprised that one was able to go forth without any emotion upon an adventure of such magnitude. On and on we rattled down the moonlit roads, past sleep- ing villages, and round sharp curves which jolted us in the car, until at last at half-past two we pulled up suddenly in front of some large iron gates which gave fntrance to the grounds of a chateéiu standing back from the road. The A. D. M. 8. and his staff got out and hunted for some cottage which they could use an office. I thougnt I had better go off and find a place in which I could spend the rest of the night, With my haver- sack over my shoulder and followed by Alberta, I entered the pate, and made my way up the avenue till I came to the chateau. It was a large and picturesque bullding, and stood out nobly againgt the outlines of the trees in the park. The moon lit up the gray stone front, which was made all the richer by the variegated lights and shade. The mansion, however, showed no inclination to be hospit- able. All the windows were tightly closed with shutters, and there was no appearance of life anywhere. I knew we were not far from the ad- vancing Germans, and so I supposed that the inhabitants had all fled. I Was 80 cold and tired that I deter- mined to force an entrance and spend the night inside. I walked round to the back, where I saw a great park richly wooded. A large door in the centre of the building, reached by a broad flight of stone steps, seemed to offer me a chance of getting in- side.
