Admiration for the cheer. llful, optimistic view, for the assurance of if ultimate victory, whatever the varying fortunes of war. Sorrow for the women I and the girls who are doing men's work, for the old men who are once more for. Iced to take up the labor of men now in 'blue, for the children who are being taught a lesson of hate, the like of which the world has never known. For though some people in Canada may still believe the German people are deluded and led by the military caste, the French know, and we now know, that it is as hard to find a decent Hurt as for the proverbial camel to go through the eye of a needle.

In fact it is so long since we lost anything. I can't remember it, My second trip to France was during the stormy weather at the end of Jana. ary.

It was on the way out that I saw Dr Fraser, the fol- lowing day. The bad weather gave me trench fever with complications and my visit to the hospital followed. Now speaking of hospitals. They are the be. all and end-all of a soldier's ambition, and if anyone told me to go in now, you would see a great burst at speed After the first three weeks I was able to sit up and enjoy life and for seven weeks we had as much fun as the law allows.
