Eighty points or over is considered a first-class shot, and from 60 to 80 a second-class shot. one shot must be sent in. A great many of the soldiers did their used at 300 yards. At 500 yards we used the usual method of lying and firing. fire. The target appeared for 10 seconds, and in that time the person firing must put five shots into it. That seems quick, but a good shot could put them in in half the time. “Then followed ‘snap’ shooting at 300 yards. In this method, the target appears for six seconds. and then disappears.

It did not matter What part of “The targets we use are not the usual White target with a black bull’s-eye. We used that at 100 yards, out at any longer distance we used a figure.

The butts in front of the target are about six feet thick, and a small plate about a half-inch in thickness runs the full length, so that a man is per- fectly safe behind there.

They proceed up the street with a Greek priest chanting some prayer until they reach the churchyard. They enter a small synagogue and hold ser" Vlce, after which they proceed to the graveyard, where the mother places the body in a grave about two feet deep, puts a few pieces of boards across the body. The woman still remains on her knees, covering the grave, and during this time the priest burns incense and continues chanting.

Iwould not for a moment think of giv- ling information that would bene- fit the Kaiser or his baby-killers. “The climate here is different 'from Canadian climate.

There is as much difference between them and the ordinary camels as there would be between a heavy draught horse and a thoroughbred. These camels are in color from grey to pure white, with fine-boned limbs and silky coats. They can go, on an average, about 80 miles aday, and keep at it about two weeks before they begin to show signs of fatigue, and in that time only require water every eleven days if it is between December and February.
