And over there in France somewhere Where lies the road to fame, To glory, immortality, One day an angel came, With soft words on her smiling lips, And Kindness was her name,. And when our wounded soldiers felt Way over there in France somewhere, Somewhere beneath God‘s sky, While bullets pour and cannons roar, And glorious banners fiy, Our brave boys fight there day and It is in this town that a famous group of statuary stands as a record of the heroism of the city‘s burghers in the fourteenth century. Beside this group of statuary there now stands the wreck of a captured Gotha, downâ€" ed by antiâ€"aircraft fire while bombâ€" ing the city. After the war the citiâ€" zens plan to erect a replica of it in marble, dedicated to those who have gone through the ordeals of the past few months. "But I no more than got interested in my book than out went the lights, and there was another visitation, an exact repetition of the previous one. This time the Mournful Mary and the bombs coincided exactly. There were two more visits before daybreak besides two false alarms by Mournful Mary." I decided there was little chance of getting a night‘s sleep in this town, so I got out a book and tried to read in bed. "I began to undress and was just ready to jump into bed when thfere came ten appalling crashes, mingled with the smashing of glass. This time Mournful Mary had been outwitâ€" ted; but she made up for lost time by a series of blasts immediately after the explosions were over. There was gilence again; the lights went on; I got into bed. The crashes again; very loud humming; then lights on again. "Things were quiet until toward the end of the afternoon, when Mournful Mary suddenly interrupted our dinâ€" ner. The man I was with took me to his house, which he shared with a Belgian colonel and his family. We groped our way down two flights of cellar stairs into a small and airless chamber, strongly sandbagged and protected with beams. We sat there in the dark for an hour, when sudâ€" denly the electric lights went on, inâ€" dicating that the danger was over. As I went back to my hotel distant firing was plainly audible. Little Chance for Sleep. "I had just got back to my room when Mournful Mary again broke forth. 1 decided to stay where I was this time. Outside my window I could plainly hear that ominous and peneâ€" trating hum of aireraft propellers, and presently there came a ‘crashâ€" crash.‘ The windows rattled and the walls shook. Then there were six more similar explosions, but not so near. Then silence, and presentlly the lights went on again. On one night recently the town was raided for five hours continuously, On the following night it received 100 bombs. An officer who spent twentyâ€" four hours there en route to England wrote to a friend: "The hotel where I intended to stay lost its last window last night, so I put up at another hotel which still boasts a few panes of glass. I arâ€" rived in town a little before noon, and at noon precisely Mournful Mary beâ€" gan her day‘s performance. We naâ€" turally looked up toward the heavens and, sure cnough, there were nine enemy airplanes advancing in formaâ€" tion as if on parade. They dropped their bombs around the town and were then driven away by British machines. Easy Target For Hun. The Germans can raid the town comfortably between dinner and supâ€" per and, if they choose, can try again in the evening. As for night bombâ€" ing, the town is so easily found that not even a moon is necessaryâ€"â€"any reasonably fine night will do. "Mournful Mary" is the soldier‘s nickname for the municipal siren which warns the population of Calais that enemy aircraft are approaching, says a Paris correspondent. The perâ€" gistent attention which the Germans pay to this port is testified by the fact that over a large area the town entirely lacks glass, while almost every house has its specially strengthâ€" ened and sandbagged dugout. A small army of workmen is digging indusâ€" triously in several of the squares and small parks of the town constructing public shelters, which are absolutely essential if the town is to continue in existence at all.

Coalâ€"tar pitch and asphaltic pitch have proved satisfactory for the purâ€" poseâ€"the former being a byâ€"product of the distillation of coalâ€"tar, while the latter is derived by similar proâ€" cess from heavy asphaltic oils, But as yet the whole business of coal briâ€" quetting is in an experimental stage, the shapes into which the briquettes are molded being as various as the binders employed in their manufacâ€" ture. ~ Vegetables are necessary for keepâ€" ing the body in health. To meet these requirements was a matter of no little difficulty, Among the many things tried were refuse molasses, quicklime, acid sludge (a waste of petroleum refineries) and resin. The main difficulty was to find a sticky substance that would hold the particles of coal dust togetherâ€"someâ€" thing cheap, that would not leak out and that would make briquettes proof against time and weather, resisting wet and temperature, high or low. Problem to Find a Substitute to Hold Particles Together, A large part of the output of any coal mine is mere dust, or "slack," which formerly was thrown away as worthless. But within the last very few years it has been discovered that this dust, when mixed with a suitable "binder" and molded into briquettes, becomes an even better fuel than lump coal. Already it is being largely used in such shape by manufacturing inâ€" dustries and for running locomotives.{ teaches food conservation. Dac!_gag A COAL DUST AS FUEL. Saves TIME "If the people at home keep as stiff an upper lip as the fellows over in France do, we‘ll win." "I guess you‘ve been where the fighting has been pretty hot." ‘Yes," said the warrior, politely. "You‘ve been through other wars?" "Yes." (Again politely.) "We‘re going to win this war, aren‘t we?" (After a pause.) Winning the War Depends on the Coâ€" operation of the Stayâ€"atâ€"Homes. In a bus the other day I saw a weaâ€" therâ€"beaten soldier who will have a great deal to tell his children and grandchildren some day if he comes through the war, says a London writâ€" er. He lumbered into the bus with his steel helmet hanging over his shoulder, his boots spattered with mud and clad in the full regalia of the trenches. He was wearing the ribâ€" bons of the D.C.M., M.M., Mons Star, French Croix de Guerre, Russian St. George‘s Cross, Sudan of 1898, South African (Queen‘s and King‘s) the Naâ€" tal Rebellion and the long service medal. On his left arm was the wound stripe and upon the right one red and three blue service chevrons. Nearly every one in the bus arose as he stepâ€" ped in, but he remained standing. Everyone wanted to speak to him, but he didn‘t encourage conversation. Finâ€" ally an elderly man, in the most conâ€" descending way, said: Rice boiled in milk makes a good breakfast cereal.

He was accompanied by the Archâ€" bishop of Algoma, the Bishop of Torâ€" onto, the Mayor of the city, Archâ€" deacon Cody, and a number of clerical and lay friends. The new College flag was flown in honor of his visit. Before leaving, His Grace offered intercession for the College and its "Take it from one who knows, the life of a soldier would be far more lonely if it were not for the dogs. And other animals are worth having, too. Some of the boys train birds and chickens and even rats. The laddie who‘s got a fine Airedale or a Scotch terrier is the happiest soldier on the line, though." "They hang around till doomsday if they are allowed to do so. And when the master is killed the dog still sticks around, and sometimes it is a long, long time before he picks up with some one else. "It doesn‘t seem to matter what kind of dog it is. You‘ll find highly bred dnimals at the front and you‘ll find dogs that wouldn‘t be admitted to any selfâ€"respecting dog show when it comes to looks, but for loyalty and devotion the thoroughbreds don‘t outâ€" class the mongrels, They all seem to have the same spirit. The dogs know the dangers of the trenches. Some of the mascots have been there since the war started. They have seen hundreds of men killed and have seen other dogs stretched out by shell fire. "The pups know when a barrage is on where they can find safety, and they go there, unless the man they look to as master is going somewhere else. Trust the dog to stick hard by, no matter whether it is in the danger zone or not. c "People who haven‘t been at the front don‘t know what a little comâ€" panionship means to a man on patrol duty, or in a dugout, or what‘a frisky pup means to a whole company. Dogs were created to be man‘s companion, and I‘m blessed if I don‘t think the dogs know it better than we do. Asâ€"a Soldier‘s Dog in the Trenches, Says Tommy. "We‘ll take a dog first. If we can‘t get a dog we‘ll take a goat, or a cat, or a pig, a rabbit, a sheep, or, yes, even a wildeat. We‘ll take anything for a trench companionâ€"but give ws a dog first." Lieutenant Ralph Kynoch, of the Gordon Highlanders, was speaking. He has been at the front since the war started and has seen fighting im all its phases. He was warm in his praises of the dog as man‘s compamâ€" ion in lonely places, He merely echoâ€" ed what every other soldier thinks. _ That was about all. ONE BRITISH WARRIOR.
