There was q Canadian Scot In our
crowd who said that the only word
which described the situation was
"g-r-r-r-a-nd !"
There was good deal of jealousy at
that time between the Canadians and
the Australians. Each had the same
force in the field-four divisions.
Either force was bigger than any other
army composed exclusively of volun-
teers ever before assembled. While l
belong to the Canadian army and be-
lieve the Canadian overseas forces the
finest troops ever led to war, must
say that have never seen body OF
men so magnificent in average phys
ique as the Australians. And some OF
them were even above the high aver
age. The man that punched me In the
eye In an "estamina" In Poperinghe

the absence of Les Darcy from the

GERMAN SOLDIERS AND BEER.

According to Edward Landsberg,
head of the United States Brewing
company of Chicago, Germany has a
ruling that two-thirds of all the beer
made in the empire must go to the
men at the front. Each German sol
der has daily allowance of one gall
Ion of beer. "We do not know if this
statement is true" says the American
Issue, "but II 1t is, 1t explains the raw
ages committed by the Germans in
Belgium and northern France. 1t ex-
plains the butchery and mutiIation of
babies and the unspeakabfe crimes
committed on helpless women and
bears out the declaration of science
and medicine that beer is brutalizer.
IF these horrors result from N beer
diet, then in the name of America keep
beer away from our soldiers!'

A FEW days after the bombing
~ raid, which ended so disastrously
for us, our battalion was relieved
from duty on the front line, and the
tip we got was that we were to go
down to the big show then taking
place on the Somme. Our relief was
division of Australians. You see,
the sector which we had held in Bel
GUM was sort of preparatory school
for the regular fighting over in France.
1t wasn't long before we got into
what you might call the big league
contest, but in the meanwhile we had
little rest from battling Fritz and
the opportunity to observe some things
which seem to me to be worth telling
about. Those of you who are exclu-
sively fond of the stirring detail of
war, such as shooting and being shot
at and bombing and bayoneting, need
only skip little of this. We had an
entirely satisfactory amount of smoke
and excitement later.
As soon as our relief battalion had
got In we moved back to Poperinghe
for couple of days rest. We were
pretty contented and jovial lot, our
platoon especially. We were all glad to
get away from the strain of holding a
front trench, and there were other ad-
vantages. For instance, the altera-
tons of our muster due to casualties
had not come through battalion head
quarters, and therefore we had in our
platoon sixty-three rum rations night
and morning and only sixtean mon

EXPLAINS PAY SYSTEM At
ARMY TRAINING CAMPS
Adit. Gen. Mccain issues b State
.ment Regarding Civilian and
Other Candidates.

Adjt. Gen. Mccain has issued state
ment in explanation Of the system Of
payments to candidates at civilian
training camps. in which he says:
when the first Instructions were
given as to payment of candidates at
officers training camps the payment of
500 per month was authorized for Cd
william candidates only. Reserve officers
were to receive the pay of their grades,
and enlisted men of the National Guard
and regular army the pay OF their
grades.
ut was seen at once that this was
not fair to the enlisted men, and this
was corrected as soon as It was deter
mined that payment could legally be
made to enlisted men at the same rate
as to civilian candidates.
June 10. 1917. 1t was finally deter
mined that such payment was legal.
The necessary orders were issued. and
enlisted men of the National Guard and
regular army at training camps receive
exactly the same pay and the same al
lowance for. ratfons as civilian candi-
dates. viz, $500 per month pay and IS
cents per day for rations."
