Urban Faber, who RANKS next 10 Eddie

carrying up ammunition to retrieving
the wounded or holding IA f1ercely dig-
puted trench or sap.
In the great advances on the
Somme and in ,Artois the pioneers
performed work of the greatest i'm
portance. The duty of consolidating
the captured ground ind connecting
e. up with the old front line of the
attackers, largely fell to them. In
many places they took part in the
advance as infantry, in others they
kept the advancing lines supplied
with ammunition and water, and beat
off counter attacks. Their losses have
been heavy, bu they have accomplish
ed their tasks in the face of every OBJ
stacle.
AS a rule, the pioneers remain in
the vicinity of the trenches all the
time their division is in the line, and
do not go back for rest, except at long
intervals.
The pioneer is as yet a new type
in the British army, but he has long
since passed the trial stage, and has
proved his worth and steadfastness.
His metal has been tried in the cruci-
BILE of war and very thoroughly it has
stood the test.

There are certain respects in which

any part of the world and in any CHI
mate. In the case of armies like that
of Germany, OH the other hand, the
problem Of preparation for war was
relatively simple. The ground on
which the army was destined to fight
was known; it was an army designed
to do battle in a particular theatre

This is England's message to Amer

rice Hewlett, famous poet, essayist
and Interpreter of the soul of the
English people.
Do the British people understand
the great ideals for which America
is fighting? How much real help do
they expect from Americas interven-
ton?
There are among the most vital
questions of the hour. I asked Maui
rice Hewlett to answer them, because
as a great patriot, student of hisotry,
and believer in democracy, he can
speak for q vast body of British lib
eral opinion.
at is a fact Hewlett said, shat
the English have understood America
as little as the Americans have I'm
derstood England.
Regardless of all accusations of
imperialism hurled at England, 1t is
a fundamental fact that in this war

In self-defense. but also for the very

tain well-defned lines.
In the present war the Importance
of field works was apparent at very
early stage, partly owing to modern
artillery and partly to the confirmed
entrenching habit of the Germans.
One of the cardinal instructions given
by the German commanders to their
troops on first invading France and
Belgium was-"makej trenches every
where" In fact all the Continental
had in addition to their corps of en-
gineers, large numbers of trained
pioneers, organized in battalions, atS
suitable for use either as fighting
troops or in the construction and
maintenance of field works and COM
munications. The absolute import
ance of the last named can perhaps
only be realized by one who has seen
the roads during an advance.
But, while the Continent was to
this extent prepared for trench war
fare. as was natural in the circum-
stances it was otherwise with Great
Britain. In the British service only
the Indian army possessed pioneer
regiments, these troops being always
necessary in conducting campaigns
in the hill country. When the need
for this class of troops became evil
dent steps were taken to form pioneer
battalions for the expeditionary force.
From the first they proved their value.
Pioneers are prepared to fight or
work as may be required. They per-
form such services as the construction
and repair of communication trenches.
fire trenches and dugouts, the digging
Of trenches and wiring. Their duties
are manifold, and there is no form Of
