Some of the exploits of the late
Captain Ball, V. c., were of an as
founding nature. He was only nine
teen when he was killed, and for
long held the record among British
sviators, having "downed" 43 Boche
machines.
On one occasion he had gone some
twenty miles across the enemy
lines, when he encountered two of
their machines, Without hesitation
he attacked them and fought them
until his ammunition had run out.
The two enemy planes had appar-
emily had enough and seized this op-
portunity to escape by diving down
to the ground.
Ball was much disguised at this
and emptied six rounds from his re-
volver at the two diving airplanes,
He then seized a piece of paper and
a pencil which he had with him and
wrote out a challenge for the same
Two machines to meet him at the
same spot the next day.

The French marriage laws, winch
have Just been modified in order to
facilitate the marriage of soldiers
on furlough, were probably the most
complicated of any in existence.
Shortly before the outbreak Of war
man wrote to Paris paper COM
planning that he had been three
years trying fruitlessly to get mar
ried.
At that period if a prospective
bridegroom had not lived at his
present address for more than six
months he had to obtain a certificate
signed by the owner and the con-
cierge at every house where he had
lived previously until he got back
to house where he did live the nee

A war horse, before he is ready
for service. receives an education al
most as rigorous and comprehen-
sive as that OF the recruit who
rides him into battle. When prop
erly trained he will face barbed
wire ard even rush entanglements
regardless of lacerated legs and
tanks. After he has been accus-
tened to have man mount rap
idly on his sensitive back he is
taught to kneel with his rider. He
has to be taught to pull up in his
own length from gallop, to stand
steadily while a rider fires from his
hack, and to lie still on the ground
while he is being used as cover
for his rider, who snipes over his
side.
One Of the most difficult things
required of war horse is to be-
come familiarized with the sword.
In warfare it is a common trick for
cavalryman to aim his first blow
at his opponents horse, for no horse
will stand after being pricked on the
nostril or lip.
When a horse knows his rider
well he will perform surprising
deeds. A brigade has been known

dier's experience was given The
Record by Mrs. Hamerquist. Fred
and Alex, referred to in the letter,
are SONS of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Hamerquist:
Fired, who was wounded early
in October, has been removed to
the Queens Facial Hospital at
Sidcup, Kent, England. His broth
er Alex, who was at Stonor Camp,
Kent, visited him before leaving
for France. Fred s lower jaw was
badly crushed by shell and he
also suffered a wound in his neck.
The pain was terrible until the re-
naming teeth were removed from
his under jaw. He writes very
cheerful, letters and says he feels
as if he We're back to babyhood
with his feeding bottle, and longs
for the day when he can take solid
food.
"That which is deserving spe-
cial emphasis in Fred's letters is
the reference made of the kind
ness shown our boys by the vari-
Gus agencies on the field. The first
objects he noticed after he was
wounded was a Scotch chaplain
and an Englishman running TO
help him. They rendered first aid
and stayed with him until an am
bulance arrived. He wrote, My
they were good to me. And from
the Red Cross hospital in Bou-
logne he wrote, Don I worry | IN
in good hands; they are all SO
kind And his letters from Eng
land concerning the hospital ship
and his treatment III the Facial
hospital are full of gratitude for
the great kindness shown at every
step. He said the sister stayed
with him almost continually the
first night, bringing clean dress
ings and cooling drinks. The sis.
tiers told him to Cheer up, that
time would make a good job OF
him. He says there is wonderful
surgery done in this hospital, and
adds that he feels so sorry foi
some of the boys, they have such
terrible wounds.
We did not know until this
week that Fred was attached tc
one of the field hospitals. TIL,
shell struck there, killing one Of
his comrades and grievously
wounding another. He says that
| ii is blessed to be away from tn,
roar of the guns, the shell-hol,
drinking water and the terribl,
mud.
"None of us will ever fully know
what has been endured by oul
boys 'over there" They are Sc
good to write father and mothel
and to say, Don't worry; we ar,

comforts. He laid great stress alst
