THEIR FINAL REST TOGETHER
Soldiers Intensely Pathetic Descrip-

stood one night on certain hill
that commands the firing line in an
almost soundless panorama. Beside
me was an officer of the Second Ca
nadian division, who had just come
out. There that night, by its white
trall OF iridescent light, we could trace
the course of the firing line for many
miles through France and Flanders.
Just to our left the line of light
tutted far out, like lone cape into
the sea- What is that jutting-out
placer? my friend inquired.
THAT" l answered. 'is the Ypres
salient, the Bloody Angle of the Brit
ish line"
TO mention the name of Ypres Is
to have ones memory awakened with
a veritable kaleidoscope of pictures.
That trail of light that jutted out into
the night looked like cape, and an
iron cape it has been through months
and years of war. But the holding Of
that cape has been Mt an awful cost,
ana there was not an inch along that
trailing line of light that had not
cost Its trailing line of blood.
Just after the first gas attack in
April, 1915, the whole countryside was
In panic. The roads were filed with
civilians in alarm, fleeing down coun-
try, and with limbers and marching
troops Fastening up. l was passing

which is situated two miles beyond

major, and corporal's guard to act

group We're burying the last original
officer of battalion of the Cameron
Highlanders. The dead officer was a
young subaltern, and the gray-haired
old major was his father, who had
come from another regiment to attend
the funeral of his son.
So, over in great deep trench,
who number Of the rank and file Of
the fallen Camerons We're already laid,
the body Of their dead subaltern was
placed. AS 1 saw the officer and his
men of the bonnie Highland regiment

SLOUGH HAT OUT OF FAVOR
Picturesque Headgear No Longer
Worn by American Soldiers on
the Fighting Fronts.

The slouch hat has for many years
been regarded in Europe as distinctive
ly American, although for as many
years it has been no more commonly
worn in the United States than in the
British isles, and over considerable
part of the continent. Nevertheless,
the typical American is almost invari-
ably pictured in n soft hat. and the soft
felts worn by the soldiers of the
American expedtionary forces to
France helped to sustain the tradition.
In the Civil war the soldiers of the
North Wore caps. Soft felts were
chosen for soldiers operating against
the Indians on the plains because they
were supposed to afford greater protec-
tion than caps from the glare. They be-
came regulation head covering for
the army In the Spanish-American war,
and, because they matched the khaki
uniform, they have been in use ever
since. Now, however, General Per-
shing is said to have decided that these
hats must be discarded in favor of
brlmless and peakless caps, and the
reason for the proposed change is
characteristic of the period that has
introduced into war so many innova-
tions. The rim of the soft felt hat
throws shadow on the perscope
used in the trenches so as to interfere
with sighting by the wearer; also,
when worn by tall men, the crown may
be seen above the parapets by the en-
my; also, a gas mask can be adjusted
much more quickly over brimless and
DeakleSS can.

Fearless Japanese Official.

OF all the eccentric characters in
Japan, one of the most famous and
distinguished is probably Viscount DR..
lnajiro Tajiri. president of the i'm
perial board of audit. He flatters no.
body, not, excepting himself, says a
correspondent, and is feared by all
who are not sincere. The late Prince
Katsura was once scolded by him, and
not long ago Baron Shibusawa waxed
hot in anger at public meeting as he
rose to refute the charges of CONNER
cial corruption which Viscount Tajiri
had made against Japan's business
world at large. He Is Outspoken when
he thinks the occasion demands out
spOkenneSs. FearleSSness of public
opinion or ridicule Is dramatically ex-
emplified in the very simple and unpre-
tentious life that he is leading. His
food is of the simplest variety. He
daily carries to the Office a bento box
filed with rice and some picked plums,
and during the past 40 years he has
ever stuck to his Spartan lunch.

the governments plan, which provides
that the buyer shall take the whole

were the only ones available in guam

dock is well known; market cod is
