To the right and left stretch barren plains of baked clay as far as the eye can reach, offering no advantages for defense. The reed choked swamps lie in between, while the dull brown Arab villages struggle through plain and swamp alike with indifferent impar- tiality as to the disadvantages of both

 "Kut-el-A -Amara, well down the river was, at least for this region, a thriving port before the war. and large ship ments of grain were sent from here This surplus grain was grown in abun dance somewhere on the apparently arid plains, which, if irrigated once more as in ancient times. might be an agricultural supply spot for the lead ing markets of the world. The old ca nals which carried water to the plains have fallen into decay, and in most cases their markings have been leveled by time beyond all recognition"

Life is one damp. cold thing after aa- other for the crews of the British blockading fleet that lies outside our three mile line waiting for the German ships that never come out. According to at least one of the sailors, it is worse than life in the trenches. The monot ony of loafing ill the swell of the sea watching for some little freighter from South America that must be held up and searched is getting on the mems nerves.
 Their food is of the old fashioned lime juicer quality except when some daring sea grocer manages 10 bring a cargo of supplies alongside. and even then. with December seas running, it's d gamble whether the fresh vegetables from Barnegat or Norfolk will reach the cook or Davy Jones.
 One of tue British cruisers engag ged in the peaceful blockade of our north Atlantic ports Is the sydney, which ran the German raider Emden ashore on an island in the Indian ocean and shot her to bits After that the sydney roamed the North sea looking for German sub. marines. and last month she was or. Grvcl of New York to relieve the crtiis cr Iris in keeping tabs on commerce
 Ciew In Zealandia Mystery.
 The letter below. written by q mem Der of the Sydney's crew, seems to throw light on the Zealandia's adven- ture. but 1t is more interesting in show ing how the British seaman hates the job of watchfui waiting off our nearly neutral shores:
 Tt looks as though we were 10 spend another Christmas on the briny deep.
 Tt has been terribly cold out here. and We have had Il hard time of it.
 The other night we ran short of coal and had to shoot down 10 Bermuda and after getting there had to wait long time for collier We got our bunkers filled next day and had to come back here.

 There's nothing to do but hang on and off. watching for some bug of q freiShter that's expected up from some where ill South America.
 The only excitement we've had was the funera! of poor old Rob Siddons You remember We three were together m Chatham last year, after had been invalided home from the sub patrol on the Dogger? Rob has been aiing for months. but he wouldn't quit. To tell you the truth. he was too bloody old to stand the strain. So we dropped him over. and there was hardly dry eye aboard
 I've sank shot with him and his hammock. and we could well spare it. because we don't ever expect to need any off here.
 Give me the life in the North sea chasing pcrrys Submarine periscopes, You could get bit of thrill doing that, and it was worth while getting hit. Out here you might as well be on training ship
 Men Slckly and Unhappy.
 The men are mostly sickly. and you can't exactly call them happy They have nothing to think of except the ar rival of the cutter with papers and let ters Lord save Us from another job like this
 Il suppose you heard how we lost |: man over the side who was reachine Tor sack of lettuce or something He shot down between us and the rotten little il1g so quick that there was no chance to save him
 Norfolk may be all right for those interned Germans, but it's n bad place from which 10 ship us greens in thi, sort of weather. It was much better when we laid off Sandy Hook We gor things regular then They say we will 'ither have to go down around Calves ton. stay here or go to Halifax if we want anything like a rest If you get news of where we are 10 go, as you probably will. send some note paper Su | can write my Christmas letters.

 Guns Brushed Her Poop.
 'lt has been very hazy lately, and the other night it was exceptionally thick We spotted an old cargo boa tbat looked suspicious and bore after her.
 Tn the fog the old man must have misjudgcd her speed or ours, because we ran so close across her stern that her propeller beat against our side and our guns swept right over her poop. Well the gang on that ship will be taking nerve tonic for month guess. We couldn't pick her up again it was so thick, but we heard afterward that she was the same bloody ship we an chored alongside in Progreso-the Zee lander or some name like that"
