PRIVATES ARE
LESS PATRIOTIC

Z ONDON, Eng, Dec. 1T is said
that Queen Mary is very anxious
to have her Oldest son come home
TO spend Christmas with the royal
family, but that the Prince of Wales,
who was home on a short furlough q
little more than month ago is strong
~ opposed TO the Idea He insists that
his place is at the front and that no
more leaves Of absence should be
granted MIN than are granted other
young officers of similar rank. He
has put down his foot against the
dodge Of sending him home every now
and then as a carrier Of dispatches
which might Just as well be sent TO
England in the usual manner.
Altogether English officers at the
front are not particularly anxious to
go home for few days. Most of them
say that short spell of London life
makes it very hard for them TO take up
trench duties again and that severe
colds nearly always result, while they
feel perfectly well as long as they
stay where they are.
Like Trenches Better.
One young officers is quoted as
having said to a friend of his that he
was about to return to Flanders:
I am going to DO back to the
trenches England is all very well

war time ii is too beastly depressing.

and the number OF drunken soldiers

is large Many of these men delioe-
rately outstay their leave and do not
return until they are caught and sent
back and this in spite of the heavy
punishment that awaits them at the
front.
Prfvates Not So Patriotic.
One of these men openly boasts that
he had missed his transport the last
time he was here and that he was
not going to return until he felt good
and ready.
He boosted that he had advised all
the young men he had met here not
10 enlist, as they did not know what
they were going in for. He said that
everybody in his company felt Just as
he did and that he would just as will
lingly fight for the Germans If he
had a chance and that they would pay
him a shilling more a day.

is frequently asked in the Hobbies OF
the big hotels and other places where

The answer is impossible to give
with any degree of accuracy, but in

indicate that the number is very large.
