breaks the monotony of the grim. col

British front. The little mule carts
of these soldiers move about among

might not stand she'll fire well. but
they became used 1t to and Tow they
are even contemptuous OF 1t. Ac-
custo1hed to hot and dry climate,
the chill and rainy weather and the
miry mud of northern France has
been their worst enemy. When the
sun shines smile spreads over the
layers of warm clothing and careful
attention. the sick report of the Indian
troops Is normal.
All the food of these men has to be
brought from India. Speaking no word
of English, these dusky strangers
have come from the other side Of the
world to fight in France for Great
Britain. Billeted in barns, with thick

said, "but replied, IL you will not

Although all the cavalry is fight

and the horses are in condition %This
is because there may be a chance
