Equipment and coats are removed
and stacked near by; each man is
given his task.
At first the task seems incredibly
heavy owing to the sweltering heat,
but that soon ears off and the men
plug along steadily at their job, a
natural spirit of competition urging
the majority to make as good a
show as their neighbOrs. The turf
is carefully removed first and stack
ed ready for further use, to serve as
cover for the fresh earth of para
pet and penados. Work proceeds as
steadily as the heat permits; in boil
ing hot weather there must be OCcas-

something that looks like a trench
begins to appear.
At midday there is a diversion.
An aeroplane is seen overhead. The
officers glasses reveal the enemy

few seconds a British machine comes

Behind British Lines in France,
Aug. 27.-Six o'clock on an August
morning The sun, although not vet
very high in the sky, is streaming
down on ground already baked by
many rainless, sweltering days. It
is as hot as midday, although signs of
storm are in the air, a storm that
has been threatening for days and yet
never comes. In the dusty village
street a platoon is just forming up
preparatory to going out con ia
tigue," a working party going up to
the "back of the front" which means
about two miles behind the front
line. Breakfasts were eaten half an
hour ago, washing and shaving and
all the other decencies of a British
soldiers life were performed even
earlier.

at the closed cafes and cstaminets as
they leave the village. There is a
march of mile to the Royal Engin-
