at the bottom of the trench, and lay
still in huddled heap with a bullet

At about the time he expected to ar

Sometimes, while engaged in a
''cootie" hunt, you think. Strange to
say, but 1t is a fact, while Tommy is
searching his shirt serious thoughts
come to him. Many time, when per-
forming this operation, I have tried
TO figure out the outcome of the war
and what will happen to me.
My thoughts generally ran In this
channel:

attack? If do will I skin through the

his platoon in the fire trench one after
noon when orders came up from the
rear that he had been granted seven
days leave for Blighty, and would be
relieved at five o'clock to proceed to
England.

welcome tidings and RECALLED his more
or less envious mates beside him on
the fire step with the good times In
store for him. He figured it out that
in two days time he would arrive at
Waterloo station, London, and then
seven days Bliss

started to fiGget with his rife, and

Hundreds of army aviators who
have been notified they must decide
in a few days whethersto resign their
commissions or Join the regular army
have applied to the Aero Club of

are anxious to join the aerial mail

connect themselves with the postoffice
for the aerial service.
