BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Feb. 29.-The Canadians have
won a reputation as good fighters in
hand-to-hand encounters. Their ability in
this respect was lately demonstrated when
an expedition OF. twenty-five men started
out ON q trench raid They returned with
twenty-three men, having accounted for
about double their number and destroyed
two machine guns and a considerable
portion of trench.
There had been much activity in the
German trenches. and a bombing attack
was planned. When darkness fell the
bomb throwers crept forward. making
slow progress. A false move. a cough or
a sound OF any kind meant instant death.
The guards in the German trenches were
apparently in merry mood. and snstches
Of a love-song came occasionally from the
trench.

were reached. They were stouter than

a rifle pointing from behind through his
