I ing " C‘est la guerre," ‘g| â€" It is possible the food parcel you speak i. | of will not arrive. It is said that owing to the effort to conserve food in Canada, parcels containing eats cannot be sent to France. This is not official, yet we would not be surprised if the measure came or f had come into effect as it is known that f | U. S. A. and Britain have already under-! ) taken measures restricting the shipping of | ‘| foods to soldiers. _ At the same time it / ‘ | will cause much dissatisfaction among the | ] men here. The army rations ae sutficient/ | but otten they fall short or the cooking is | | rotten and it is necessary to supplement by buying at canteens and French stores and the latter charge outrageous prices for things they sell, Then again we all like a taste of homecooking now and again which varies the menu most agreeably. Army food is the same and as much alike as Sunday and Monday in France and for a certain day we can tell what will be on | | the bill of fare a month ahead of time. ‘ Still, if our precious boxes are to be cut off that will be another sin to rurel .1 . There were also side shows of various natures but all funds taken here went to | Red Cross work. As the circus followed | pay day, the canteens were also freely patronized. Captain Bailey who was jailed for slandering Canadian soldiers for alleged intemperance should have been here and witnessed the sports. He would probably change his ture. _ In fact he would have to, as there were no ch'unkcnl soldiers or signs of iusobriety, 1f Canada ’ in civilian life had as clean a record as Canada in France enjoys, there would be no need to introduce prohibition measures and close the bars. 1Â¥ | _A week or so, our Brigade held a bij ry | Circus and every unit put forth amazing ys| creations and stunts in the fleld, It wa; n | truly a cireus and if we lacked wild anâ€" ce | imals, the deficiency was made good by {â€"} grotesque and hideous substitutes., Caliâ€" is | thumpians by the score paraded the Cirâ€" 0 | cus rings and keyed to the crack of the e| whip of the Ringmaster (a Major of the . | Brigade), huge and gaily decorated vehiâ€" 1} cles, drawn by mules, and loaded with : | Indians, Germans, South Sea Islanders, | clowns, Charlie Chaplins, and darky | bands, rumbled over the improvised course to the cheers of thoysands of khaki spectators and not a few French civilians. Aeroplanes came overhead and skimmed the heads of the thousands there, shower-/ ing confetti and colored cartons promisâ€" cuously, until the field looked snow clad. Probably the most exciting event of the day was the Chariot races provided by the different battalions. Ben Hur was a back number in his baimuest compared to } ‘ these speed artists, TORONTO 1.
