An Australian war correspon- dent who rode towards one of the khaki-clad regiments was approached by a young, unassuming man, who was anxious to. hear news of the outside world. "Have you been under fire?" he asked the correspondent. "I should smile," was the reply, "and [I don't much appreciate it. Anybody who likes can have my share." "We have to go under fire whether we like it or not," sald the quiet South Af-. | young Englishman. "At a salary," chirped the Corn- stalk. The shrugged his Then the Australian heard that the un- assuming young soldier was Prince Alexander of Tegk, as he was then known, and he "went back in the direction from which he had come.

Head of Boy Scouts Honors Canadian Battalion, ' Here's a story in prose and poetry, the subject being an incident which occurred when the 15th Battalion were repelling the numerous coun- ter-attacks made by the Gerinans to recapture HH! 70 on August 15, 1917. The Battalion was attacking Hill 70, and was under orders to execute an outflanking movement on the left, Two companies were in the line, one in support, and one ia reserve, An Hngtish tmit on the 15th's left did not get Set in Ha , and in some "Way a part rough was heading for Col. Fos headquarters. The brigade or telephoned Col. Bent, and told him that Huns were observed coming down a trench, and that he was practically surrounded. 'To ------ you say. We are not surrounded," it Is sald was the an- swer of the colonel. "But you are-- they are on top of you." Just then a sentry ruthed in and said: "The Huns arc here." Col. Bent looked up and the Huns were swarming down the trench. His staff was sadly depleted, owing to battle casualties and he and a Heutenant were the only two officers. Col. Bent hurriedly called out batmen, cooks, shoemakers, and other headquarters' clerks, and drawing his revolver stepped into the tremch and drove the Hurs back out the way they came, guns trapped them with a deadly fire and not one Hun got back. Gen. Sir Robert Daden-Powell, the head of the Boy Scouts, and who is now credited with having been one of the most valuable sccret service men during the war, having even penetrated into Cermany, had read in an English paper the story of the Huns' surprise by Col. Bent and his cook with the ham knife, fellow-passcenger with the 15th Bat- talion on the steamer Baltic, and took the opportunity of asking if the story was true. On being told that it was the Hero of 'Mafeking sat down in his state room and compos- ed the following: -- The Gormans came down like a wolf on the fold, A lot of strong Schnappes had ren- dered them bold; They made for a spot marked Bat- talton's ii.
