A Correction and Explanation.

;. In our account of the sudden death
of Mr.. B. F. Powell, two weeks ago.
who was found dead in his bed, we said
his son was advised not to let his sick
father stay at his own home bv him
self in the absence of his wife. As a
matter of fact he went over to mis-
sons house himself and told them he
had been feeling bad, but was feeling
better, and he went to bed leaving
them under the impression he was bet
ter, and was found dead the next morn
ing. We make this statement in order
to correct any idea We may have con-
veyed of neglect on the part of Mr.. H.
E. Powell, the son, who has felt hurt
over the impression that our statement
implied he was negligent or unfilial in
any way, when it was not intended.

with snow. No Mans Land had been
lifted for the moment out of its de-
graded and abject state of melan-
cholic desolation and placed on pic
turesquely white equality with the un-
trammeled lands that lie about the
nghttng zones. The tortuous barriers
OF grim barbed wide in front of the
enemy positions had been transformed
into tangled and graceful strands of
crystal ice and clinging snow. Back of
the lines the British guns that never
seem to tire or sleep-guns that winter
cannot muzzle or frosts subdue-spoke
with white hot breath from hiding
places screened and double secure be-
meath the white cover of the newly
fallen snow. Under the spell of the
snow and the mists there was, what
is not often the case out here, an al
most tangible touch of Sunday in the
air. Whether it was the white fog
that enveloped so much of the front or
whether 1t was just some shadowy
spirit of the sabbath, the strident
voices of the guns seemed more muf-
fled than usual and farther away. But
the messengers that the guns sent
smashing through miles of glacial
space spoke to their foes in the same
determined tones that have been
heard with such unrelenting regular
ity during all these wintry days. The
war that stretches out over the years
is Il war that necessarily resolves it
self into q routine of much the same
thing over and over again. To-day,
however, in all it's whiteness, it seemed
Just a wee bit different.
