Coming back to Peace River Cross
ing was pleasant and should have
been easy. If one sits down on raft
or in a canoe and sits still he will
quietly pass the 240 miles from St.

cause 1t was the homeward journey

miles, was increased to five or six by
the use of the paddles. 1t is tiresome
work. but few days of it puts large
share of conceit into one when he
tries his muscles against a loafer.
Yes, there were bears, there always
are on the Peace. This was the time
of ripe berries and there were many
bears. We know that they, Indian
like, must have made medicine"
against us, for nothing else could have
prevented our killing one.

not, we moved downstream.
The little Grenfell could make about
fourteen miles, and the river itself
was making eight because the water
was very high. 1t was liquid mud car
rying driftwood and logs-even whole
trees. The sun slowly moved from
south to west, from west to northwest,
and then was hidden behind the river
banks. That it had set we could not
be certain, for there was plenty or
light until about eleven o'clock, when
we tied up to the banks SO the en-
gineer could sleep.

900 miles there are about two hundred

London Women Abandon Knitting for
a New Fad for Relief of
the Soldiers.

London-Rolling cigarettes for rela-
tives, sweethearts, and friends in the
fighting line is just now the occupa-
ton of many women here, who believe
tobacco in this form will be more APP
preciated than packages of cigarettes
manufactured in the ordinary way. 1t
is not an uncommon sight to see wom-
en- rolling cigarettes in the lobbies OF
some well-known hotels, and many
have temporarily given up knitting to
make cigarettes. Symmetry, of course,
is not much in evidence in these pro-
auctions, which often swell toward the
center like cigars, but Tommy Atkins
will probably be able to smoke them
despite their shortcomings.

FOES LIVE IN SAME TRENCH
When Fighting Wanes South OF
Ypres Germans Move in With
Allies.

Boulogne.-A British soldier re-
lates a remarkable story of how the
English and Germans hobnobbed in
the same trench few miles south OF
Ypres. There were handful of Ger
mans and a smaller handful of allied
forces. Trenches were but few
yards apart, and in these for more
than a week the men of both sides
had been bored and inactive. They
amused themselves as best they
could, exchanging messages, swap
ping newspapers and tobacco, hurting
back and forth greetings and epithets.
More days passed and still neither
side received orders either TO attack
or to withdraw. Some sort of coop
Grafton seemed necessary. Accord
ingly the Germans hoisted white
flag and, advancing under this, en-
tered the allied trench for confer
ence. The result was that an agree
ment was reached that it would be
more comfortable for all to live in one
trench until one side CT the other re-
ceived orders.
The Germans moved over bag and
baggage, and for a number of days all
went well: Many of the Germans
spoke English or French. Under the
strange circumstances friendships
sprung up. Both factions dreaded the
arrival of a messenger. One day
messenger came, and plans for the re-
newal Of hostilities were hastily made.
But the messenger proved to be only
a bearer of mail and newspapers for
the Germans. All gathered around
while a German began to translate
the latest dispatch from Berlin.
Unhappily for the harmony of the
gathering, it referred to Ostend BY its
German nickname, "Kales," spoke of
bomb-droppings on various French
towns and of contemplated air raids
on Great Britain. The English
frowned, growled; the French grew
excited. Both sides had by agreement
laid aside their rifles; but both sides
still had their fists. Both used them.
A free-for-all fight followed, and the
unique compact came to an end.

IS FEARs0ME TALE
FrenchWoman Describes Her Ex-

Live In Daily Dread of Shrapnei as
Bombardment Continues for
Months-Houses All About
Are Destroyed.

Edinburgh, Scotland.-A letter has
just been received here from a
Frenchwoman whose home is in Sols-
sons. long one of the holly contested
points on the French battlefront. She
describes TO her Scotch friend the
misery of the inhabitants of the city.
The Germans, it seems, were driven
out, but not beyond the range of their
big guns. The Frenchwoman did not
desert her home. She says:
1--WE have to remain in our house,
for we really could not bring our
selves to leave it and all our posses
sions, although most of the inhabi-
tants have left the town. :
"For three months the lombard
ment of the town has continued, some
times for days and nights without
ceasing, and then we hide in the eel
lar-you may guess how happy we
are. We simply live in dread of the
shrapnel, which is going to fall on our
house and set it on fire and bury US
in the ruins.
"You have no idea what terrible en-
gines of war the Germans have. See
ing everything around US burn ana
fall to pieces, we live in sort OF
nightmare Everything in our quar-
ter is demolished. Fortunately our
house has so far escaped, though all
the tiles are smashed and the win
dows broken by the force of the det-
onations. You may imagine how un-
comfortable we are in this cold wealth
err. and the terrible thing Is that no
one can say how long 1t will last.
"On their way back from the Marine
the Germans took possession of all
the quarries along the hills to the
north, which they had carefully pre-
pared on their way south with con-
crete and iron, making of them ver1-
table forts. They are terribly clever.
and now they are Smelling scissors
from the quarries of Paisley, Clamency
and Crouy, from which they can dom
mate all the main roads from the
town. There Is absolutely no chance
of taking them by surprise, because
from there they see everything that
happens. They have got the light
railway to Coucy, which enables them
to revictual from the rear. From
Coucy nd Chauny they have the main
lines right to Germany, so that they
can brig up re-e2forcements as they
require them.
"They have driven away all inhabi-
tants, and they take everything NOV
able they come across.
"Quite a lot of English soldiers have
been here-fine men and splendid
horses Eve have not horse left In
