Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they

Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of a little hand,
The smile of little face;
And they wonder, as waiting the long

In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy
Blue,
Since he kissed them and put them

In the meantime. however, the
allies have been withstanding
fierce counter attacks delivered
by the Germans despite the morass
of No Mans Land.
The fighting has been literally
from hummock to hummock.
The most violent of these conn

mans around the villages of st.
Julien and Westhoek,e on some of
the higher ground of the cattls
section.
In both places the British were
forced temporarily to yield some OF
their gains. Westhoek was recap
tured by the Germans.
Early this morning the enemy
also struck fiercely just to tho
north of st. Julien along the ridge.
Fighting continued there for hours
with neither side able to gain
complete mastery.
British troops again smashed
back German defenses and re-took
the position in the neighborhood
of the Ypres- Roulers railway
where German troops had resisted
the advance, Field Marshal Haig

Snow Worms.

Nothing very definite is known con-

Professor Flett reports that the snow
over which these enchytraeids crawl
usually has red color, due to MI
mute, unicellular plant which, in his
opinion, serves as food for the worms.
In the same habitat with the snow
worms, the writer found numerous
species of insects, many of which
were probably carried there by air
currents or strong winds, belonging to
eight orders, and three species of
spiders.
