On Writing Letters.

T was told by Capt. Harry Light the other day." writes Canadian major, ''that there is new style in trench letters. The censor's duties have been reduced by many per cent. The soldier now has the sense of the situ- ation engrained in his thinking. He sees through the need of keeping quiet even on, matters that call for some criticism. There is more humor and matter-of-factness about his letters.
 Re of my men, who can't write very
 egl, was telling me the other day that one letter week is all that he can summon up his courage to write, and he gave this as a reason: The people at home don't, can't understand life here. We have got to go through it. Why tease fhem with anxieties-they have enough to put up with in paci- fists and political grumblers' And I think he is right. Don't you?"

Why Soldiers Wear Wrist Watches

Replying to a question from his au- dience, British officer lecturing in Chicago explained why all officers wear wrist watches. He described an ad- vance from the trenches as an illustra- tfon, telling how every move was made on prearranged schedule, the artiI- lery throwing curtain of fire for a certain number of seconds. while the infantry advanced 20 yards farther ahead, while the infantry made an- other advance. and so on.
 All this shell fire" he said. lis be- ing done by artillery far behind. The artillery officer depends most of all upon his watch. He sits with a tele- phone glued to his ear and field glasses in his hands. He has no time to be fumbling for his watch. A minutes error in changing the range would mean that the shells would be falling into his own advancing troops. Nor has the officer leading his men across No Mans Land any time to be fum- bling for his watch"

Women Drive War Automobiles.

Between 150 and POO women soon will be driving military motor cars be hind the French front.
 Women have tried since the begin ming of the war to enlist in the auto mobile service. The Club Feminin Automobile was the center of this group and it had secured the sigma lures of several hundred of the thou sand women in Paris who hold licenses to drive motor cars. The passive re- sistance of the different war bureaus held them back until now.
 The women are obliged to enlist for three months and to agree to submit csrupulously to military rules and dis cipline. They will in the beginning replace motor ambulance drivers in the foreign sanitary sections who are transferred to other services. Later on they may replace men in other au- tomobile sections.

JUST PART OF DAYS WORK
British Aviators Awaiting a Call Re- minded American Newspaper Cor
 respondeat of BeIIhops.

We strolled, as we talked, into a long shed, with board table along it's center, telephone desk in the cor her and many maps on the plain board walls-the regulation appearance of a headquarters. A bench ran down one side of the room, and on 1t sat seven or eight lean, blond, clean cut British youths in khaki. It was the watch, waiting on call against emer- gencies of the air.
 Phil Simms, being an American and therefore of witty imagination. smiled. "Bellhops, waiting for call to z 26." he whispered. The row of ayiators, be- ing Britons and shy, shifted their legs and looked embarrassed. But one rose from the bench and approached the captain, saluting. He was breathing heavily and his eyes were bloodshot.
 "Oh-you've just landed P said the captain easily. Had a fight, didn't you?"
 "Yes, sir" said the boy all in breath. Squad of four German planes attacked me and Brown-Jones. (This hdAhe' oI CouFSe, IS ulSBulSed.1 My gun damned after three shots. and I had to hurry back. Brown-Jones brought one, down, I think. At least he ap- peared to be out of control when he dropped into the cloud below"
 "Oh-er-Brown-Jo baekP"
 NO, sir. But I saw him crossing our lines behind me-"
 Engine trouble, I suppose. Doubt less we'll hear from him later. What about the other three Huns?''
 "They showed evidences of extreme terror. sir!"
 ssVery we'll"
 The boy settled back onto the bench. where he nonchalantly borrowed a cigarette from his neighbor.

Airplanes Only IA Years Old.

In this day when ordinary aviation is regarded as little more dangerous than driving a milk wagon, and when in Europe thousands of military air planes are scouting fighting. and trav- cling hundreds of miles in dead of night to drop bombs on enemy cities, one may easily forget that the first successful public trial of heavier than-air flying machine took place less than IA years ago. Yet it was about that time at Kitty Hawk, N. C., that the really first successful flight of an airplane was made by Wilbur Wright, now dead.
