The so-called Battle of the Aisne was a siege rather than a battle. For weeks the soldiers of both a ies lived in the cleverly ..con- tucted trenches they had dug among the hills and stone quarries. Here is a graphic picture-of the life they led there, taken from an Eng- lish officer's letter in the Dbondon Times: ** Ten days ago we had arriv ea within sound of the firing, and were 'bout to e our places in the trenches. That night we marched seven miles through the mud over roads that had been soaked by four| days' rain and torn by ceaseles ss | traffic. The sound of guns and | rifles grew louder as we approach- | ed the front, and dead horses mark- ed the pagsage of the armies. We crossed the river Aisne, and halt ed near the village beneath the heights. The brigade sp! lit into regiments, 'and oura went' off up | the hill, slippery with mud, to the | trenches. We relieved a company of Irishman almost incoherent in theiy speech from their long ordeal, moves that may be necessary under cover of 'kness. Ammunition, food and drinking water are brought in by night; the dtyg-3e are sent away to the hospital. a not wash, we do not change fs clothes; we sleep at odd intervals whenever we can get the chance, oe daily we get more accustomed to our lot. - Little holes are dug be- 'héath the parapet just big enough to sit in are our homes, with straw ts ge a .or *two for The cold is infense at night, and those good ladies who have made us woollen caps and com. forters have earned our thanks. e coldest moments are 086 when there is an alarm of a night attack, we spring from our the parapet, peering over the wall to see our enemies, and firing at the ch flashes of their rifles. --_----_--_ t____. ~ KHAKI LINE OF HEROES.

The record of improvements Ptf- 'fected on the Dominion Atlantic Railway, which the Canadian Paci- fic Hailway leased in 1911 for 99 years shows that new wharves have been' "built ; 45 miles of new track have' been ballasted; 30 miles of new 85-pound rails have been laid 'down ; 120 cattle-guards have been "and ' replaced by surface guards, while dozens of bridges nave-,been either improved of re- who had begun with the retreat | i ; from Mons, and had been fighting | of 't. ze pe gt feet without ceasing ever since.

We posted sentries. and the com- pany took up its allotted line, find- behind the emb:z ankment ing cover of a quarry. The next day food ar- 'rived; we cooked our tinned, beef and boiled tea, cleaned our rifles, and began to feel more at home. Then we started to dig. No one knew how long we should stay, but the eover was bad, and gave no protection from the enemy's guns. And this we learned to our cost, for soon we had our first lesson about shrapnel. Our own artillery open- ed fire, and the snells passed. over our heads into the enemy's lines. Then they replied, first at our guns and then at our trenches.

It is not 'bravery or any other virtue. It is just his cheerful habit. Some men must go out, of course, on duty, and so there have been the casualties that you 'see in the papers.

Another story illustrative of Lord Fisher's determination to get what he wants refers to an occasion when he conceived the idea of putting up a wireless installation on the cu- pola of the Admiralty at Whitehall. or some reason, however, the Post Office refused permission.

He is a self- made man in the sense that he owes nothing to birth, social influence, or wealth, in a service in which all three counted for much when he first entered the navy, and the story of that entry is typical of the man. At the age of thirteen he scrambled aboard the admiral's ship at Plymouth, marched up to a splendid figure in blue and gold, and, handing him a letter, said, "Here, my. man, give this to the admiral.' The man in blue and gold smiled, took the letter, and opened it. ' Are you the admiral ?"' said the boy. "Yes, I'm the admiral." He read the letter and, patting the boy on the head, said, "You must stop and take dinner with me." "T think," said the boy, "I should like to be getting on to my ship," speaking as though the British navy had fallen to his charge, The admiral laughed and took him down to dinner. ike Kitchener, Lord Fisher's motto' has always been.

It was at an Academy banquet some years ago that Lord Fisher told how he found another motto, When commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean, he one day went to inspect a small destroyer, only 260 tons, '"'but such was her pride and swagger," said Sir John, "that she might have been 16,000. The lieu- tenant in command took me around, She: was beautifully in order, and I came aft to the wheel and saw there 'Ut Veniant Omnes.'

One day as he' was walking he saw a bull attack a man, and he had to hold his sides with both hands, the scene was funny. After a time the animal turned his attention to him, and poor Pat, after exploring the up- per regions, came down with a 'bump on the other side of the fence. He rubbed his wounds as he said to himself: "Faith, I'm glad I had my laugh when I did or I wouldn't have had it at all."' INFORMATION FOR INVENTORS Messrs.
