Canadian Omoer Writes.

.H vvAAOSSs PRO
A local woman is in receipt Of a let
from a Canadian officer who has been
OH active service in Flanders and
France for the last year. An excerpt
from the letter, all Of which is ex-
ceedingly interesting, follows:
1.-THE town Is full of 'Sammies as
the French call the United States
troops. They r q magnificent lot OF
men and chum around with our fell
lows a lot. If this war doesn't do any
thing else, it will surely make a great
difference in the relations between
the people Of the countries involved.
I know from conversations with U. s.
officers that they didn't begin to ap-
preciate what England had done and
is doing in this war, Inc we are be-
ginning to understand where the U.
8. stood.
These chaps said to me, You know
we heard that Scotland did this, Ire
the Canadians that, but we never
heard much that the English did, and
now we are just getting a faint idea.
We thought the English were all busy
with munitions. Why don't they let
people know? Well, it appears to me
a matter of temperament. The Eng
lish grit their teeth and taxi knocks
that only a nation with the right stuff
in 1t could take, and they say very lit
tie about 1t.
This Is an instance: We (the Can
adam troops) carried out a very sue
cessful operation not very long ago in
conjunction with some English troops
on our left. The imperials did quite
rs we'll as we did. but had the papers
much to say about their work? Hard
ly anything. And these English off,
GERS never grouse o. mention 1t, but
invariably compliment us on Dur at
tainments and seem to feel as bad as
we do over casualties we have. I am
beginning to appreciate and under
stand what we sometimes called those
blamed English"
