cred ways. The first and second
lines are expected to repel attacks
by the enemy. In the third are
resting places for the soldiers, big
"dugouts' where the higher conf
manders have their headquarters
and where storehouses for provisions,
strongholds for ammunition and so
forth are concealed.
In these rear trenches you would
find an entertainment going on about
every half mile along line OF three
hundred and fifty miles on every
day of the year.
Morning and afternoon perform
ances are more popular than evening
ones, for lights cannot be used at
an evening entertainment, as they
would draw the fire OF the enemy.

do so. Dangers of death and mutila-

force in deterring these brave girls
from coming to cheer us up.
They have eagerly seized the OPP
portunity to come to the front as
war nurses whenever II was possible.
They make the best OF nurses, for
they are generally strong, self.re-
liant, accustomed to travelling and
to facing all kinds OF emergencies.
Having mastered the art Of facing an
audience they are able to face any
other kind Of difficulty.
When not too busy caring for the
wounded these busy actress-nurses
turn round and amuse US who are
still alive and kicking. They have
been Of enormous service In helping
to keep up the moral OF the sol

that does not make her mis-

a company OF men whose nerves have

One of the great favorltes Of the
British soldiers is Miss Phyllis

some regular system Of entertain

suitable depressions in the ground
are fixed up as theatres with seats

Names are given TO these plat 's or
