Some citizens of Berlin are in a' hurry to have the name changed to Kitchener; others want it to remain as it is. Unless the people are loyally right, we see no partic-' nlar benefit in changing the name} The desire for a change eman-i ate-d from the citizens, and if it! should prove unsatisfactory they: themselves. Berlin is a prettyg little city, enterprising and pro-: gressive, and it seems a pity if; anything should happen to mar its? development. The War, however, has caused a feeling that will take time to wear off. The Ger- mans have been regarded as good thrifty citizens, but from recent developments it isn’t likely that German immigration will get much encouragement for many years to come.

Kaiser and his comp-any, who are nearing their Waterloo, .and whose photos will soon adorn the walls of the rogues’ gallery. Well, I am not going to make a long story tor you, because it is out of my line to act as a war correspondent. I will give you a little idea of the trip We had from Alexandria to England. After receiving orders from the G.H.Q. to pack up our luggage and equipment and get it conveyed to the docks by the. A.S.C.. we started to load some 300 tons of hospital equipment, which we had handled some 15 times be- fore. Our men started to workâ€" some were sent down into the hold of the vessel, and some on the dockâ€"and talk about work. It takes a Canadian to show the Egyptian how to work. They did not need anybody over them wrth a large stick to drive them. They didn’t need any one man to Sing and chant to them as the Gypos do, but they dug right in like good Britishers are all doing to- day, and let me tell you it wouid surprise you how quickly that stuff was loaded. Inside of 18 hours, that 300 tons was all on board the boat and ready to sail for some unknown port. On the 24th of March, 1916, we sailed leaving the historical city of Alexâ€" andria behind us in the distanCe Aft-er sailing a couple of days we caught sight of land aga11.. and on enquiring, we found we were approaching Sicily and Italv and in the distance we could see the second highest peak in the world, known as Mount Etna. 1t was a wonderful. and a most beautiful sight. All we could see was the top of it, and it looked like a great white cloud, away up in the sky, .but on approaching closer you could see the Volumes of black smoke pouring forth from the. crater of the volcano. It is a sight I never will forget as long as I live. On putting in to the port of Augusto. Sicily. Some of us took the privilege of getting a small boat to take us to the u) W11 so 30 01' 40 of the boys Went down the back of the boat on the rope. ladder and proceeded to town. On our return, the military police were at the other end of the lam der. and arrested us all for break me away from the ship Without leave from the commanding offic- cer. All the boys said they didn’t mind a few days confined 'o barracks, 'as the trip to the Sicilian village was well worth the pun- ishment.

On March 29 she pulled. into poxt, amid the cheers of the 1 men. It was not the first time i had seen her, as I saw her when ' she made her maiden trip to ' Lemnos, Dardanelles, when she : came for the first load of wound- ed. She is a magnificent Vessel a boat that any Britisher should be proud of. We started to unload our baggage into her. so you can ° - agine the work that was in store for us again. There were seven hospital ships that unloaded patients on to the Britannia. and when she had been loaded “1 pulled out for England Via Gibral- tax, with 4,000 patients aboam Imagine a boat with that many patients, medical officers, nursing sisters. and orderlies, and two or three medical units, who were go- ing back to England, and the crew. By a rough estimate, we must htue had almost 7,000 people on board. It is a wonderful vessel. with every accommodation. and all kinds of speed. We pulled out f0. the blue Mediterranean Sea, taking in the sights along. We had the ,privilege of seeing the north coast; of Africa, and the south of Spain, the shore of Portugal, the north-' ern coast of Morocco, and also the. Algerian coast, and could see Tan-. giers quite plainly. Cape St. Vin- cent was also visible, and the great rock of Gibraltar, the key to the Mediterranean, the greatest stronghold‘in the world, held by the greatest and most, glorious E,pire in the world, the British Empire. It is a great symbol of Britain’s might. After having pass- ed the Srtaits of Gibraltar, we came into the Bay of Biscay. a place where every one gets sea- sick, but it was very calm, ani we came through unaffected. I'hev claim our boat was fired upon bv a German submarine, but on account of the speed we were able to notch ahead of the pirates, who would stoop so low as to sink a ship Of mercy, with all its helpless patients on board. I am quite sure had we been torpedoed, we would never get half of them out. But I believe providence .- was watchmg over the white ship of mercy. f which was carrying its thousands *- of helpless beings to their home land.
