G. Scott, 0.M.G., D.8.0., of Quebec, Senior Chaplain of the First Canadian Division RU A Dream House, After my long ride, and at that hour of the night, I felt as if I were in a dream. I saw a door to the right, and opening it was edmitted to' a modern drawing-room luxuriously furnished. A grate fire was burning on the hearth, and on a centre-table stood silver candelabra with Mghted candles. There were also plates of {bread and butter, some very nice cups and saucers, and a gilver cof- | fee-pot. At once I said to myself, "I {am evidently expected," It was like a {story from the Arabian Nights. 1 | looked about the place and not a soul | appeared. Alberta tucked herself up a rug and was soon fast asleep. I was | just preparing to partake of the re- | freshments which, it seemed, some | tairy godmother had provided, when {in came one of our A. D. C's, He was ae muck surprised to see me as I was | to see him. He told me that our Di- |vislonal Commander had arrived {there about an hour or two before {and had gone to bed, and that we | were in the home of a certain count | whose servants had all fled. He also [ told me that there was a bedroom which I could have upstairs, which would not be occupied by our staff until the next evening. I had a cup of coffee, and then, calling Alberta | and taking a candle, I climbed a very rambling staircase till I reached the | top storey, where I found an empty room and a very dirty bed in it. How- ever, I was glad to get a place in | which to rest, and so, with my rain- [coat for a covering, I went to sleep. |The next morning, having foraged [ for some water in which I had a good | wash, I went off to the village to get food. I met many of our units com- ing up in busses. Some were halted | by the wayside, and nobody knew | what we were going to do or why we | were there. The Imperial transport [otticer in charge and either acted un- der wrong orders or else the drivers did not know the roads. Some of our battalions had lost their way, one oven entered a village. at the other end of which were the Germans, and two of our Engineer Companies dis- appeared completely for two days. The country people were hurrying off in carts, taking their household 800ds with them. I found a primitive farmhouse where I was able to buy Some eggs and bread, and I invited a number of stragglers in to have some thing to eat. By noon, however, we got orders from the Army to move back to a place called Fosseaux. There we occupied an empty chateau which before the war must have been a very fine place. A wide grassy road nearly a mile in length, bordered on each side by fine old trees, stretched off into the distance in front of the centrol door. The entrance to the road was guarded by an exquisitely wrought iron gate, flanked on each side by stone pillars surmounted by carved heraldie figures. It was now cold and rainy, and our two Artillery Brigades were halted in a field oppo- site and were awaiting orders. Before nightfall they had left, and the for- ward section of our Division made their headquarters in a hut at War- lus; the members of "C" mess re- mainiftg at Fosseaux, E-- Good Friday U A March the 29th was Good Friday, and a strange one it was. There was much stir and commotion every- hare sud We were so unsettled, that ould do was to have a ser- vice in the cinema in the evening, and on Easter Day two celebrations of Holy Communion to which I had only twenty-eight communicants. Our men had gone into the line to the southeast of Arras, round Telegraph Hill, where a German attack was ex- pected, as their advance to the south had been checked. I made my way to Arras, and spent the night in one of the mysterious caves which he under that city. It was called St. Sauveur Cave, and was entered from a street big, solid bar of SURPRISE easy washing, It is equally blankets and behind the station. The 1st Brigade ~~ a : | was quartered there. In the morning | II walked down the long dark pass- | age till I came to an opening which | led me to some high ground where | there had evidently been a good deal | of fighting. From there I made my | Way over to the front line, where the | + #t Battalion was entrenched, | pass- | ed numbers of wooden huts broken | by shells, Many men must have been quartered there at one time. It was sad to go into them and see the! waste and desolation, and the lost! war material scattered in all direc- tions. On my way I came to a deep trench which some Imperial machine | unners were holding. They had had an anxious time, and were glad to have a visitor. Several of them re- gretted they had not been able tao attend any Easter service, I told them we would have one there and then, as I was carrying the Blessed Sacrament with me. So we cleaned a corner of the trench, and there I had a short service and gave 'the men communion, Our trenches tory, as we did not know accurately | where those of the Germans were. That night, instead of going back to | the 1st Brigade I made my way to | the huge Rouville Caves under Ar-| ras, where the whole of the &d Bri- | gade was quartered. It was a mosg| curious abode. No one 'knows the caves were dug. They were ably extended from time to time as | the chalk was quarried for the pur- | pose of bullding the town. Long pas- | sages stretched in different direct- | fons, and from them opened out huge | vaulted chambers where the battal- | lons were billeted. I spent the night | with the 14th Battalion, and the next | day held services in turn for each of | the four units of the Brigade. The | 16th Battalion occupied a huge cav- | ern with others branching off from it. I could hardly imagine more pie- turesque surroundings for a military service. The candle flames twinkled like stars in all directions in the murky atmosphere, and the singing of the men resounded through the cave. Overhead was the town which the enemy was shelling. In one of the | caves we found the foundation of | what had been an old prison, with a | date upon it of the 18th century. It was very pleasant wandering down the passages, with a candle stuck on top of my steel helmet, and meeting | everywhere old friends who were glad of the temporary rest. Life there however, was very strange. One could not tell whether outside it was day or night. I made my way back that afternoon by a passage which led out to one of the Arras sewers, by the side of which there was a stone pave- ment enabling one with a good flash- light to walk eafely. The exit from the sewer, which now consisted of a shallow stream of perfectly clear wa- ter, led me up to a house in one of ISH WHIG. Ie BAKING POWDER DNTaiNS NO ALYY the streets, and thence by car I made my way to Warlus, and home to Fos- seaux. A few days afterwards our head- quartérs were moved up to Etrum, ed into the quaint little town. The Chateau was our headquarters, and a tar-paper house which the Engi- neers built for me under a spreading run was a most interesting place his- torically. It had been the site of a large mound, or vallum, which the Romans had thrown up to protect themselves from the attacks of the German tribes is now a thickly wood- ed hill, pierced by the road which connects the village with the Arras highway. The grounds of the chateau were most delightful, and before the French Revolution the houée had been a convent. In the garden was the recumbent stcne effigy over- grown with moss, of one of the sis- ters, The most beautiful thing though about the place is the clear stream, wide and deep, which comes from underground and flows over sparkl- ing white pebbles through the green meadows to the River Scarpe. This Stream was evidently the gource of attraction to the Romans, who al- ways made their camps where there was a plentiful supply of running water. The garden on one side was built up in stone terraces along which were gravel walks, where, no doubt, the nuns of old enjoyed their holy meditations. In the stream as it wandered through the meadows there was a plentiful supply of water-cress, which looked exquisitely green aga- inst the pebbles at the bottom.
