COBLENZ. Dec. 27.-Snow greeted
the American troops in the occupied
areas on Christmas morning. 1t be-
gan falling after midnight and contin-
ued to come down until the entire dis
trict around Treves was covered to
the depth of several inches and in the
afternoon the fall was still in progress.
On the highlands east of the Rhine,
the snow was heavier in places than
elsewhere. Along the outlying sectors
of the bridgehead, for instances, 1t

The principal religious services Of
the American troops were held in
Coblenz, but in virtually every village
they occupied and in every camp in
the region the day was begun with
services by the army chaplains. The
men attended these services in great
numbers.

The "75's'' fired 30 shots minute,
where the best the German guns could
do was six. The American three-inch
field piece lets go six times a minute,
too. The French government owns the
secret of the mechanism that made
this rapid fire possible. When the first
SOS" began to roar, the Germans
knew the French had found new
weapon, so they were very anxious to
get one of the guns and learn the
secret.
Shortly afterward they captured
eight guns by a mass attack in which,
the allies claim, there were 1000 Ger
man troops killed. The Boches studied
the guns and tried to turn out pieces
like them at the Krupp factory. But
somehow they could not get it. Their
imitation "75's' would only fire five
shots very rapidly and then s'cough"-
puff, puff, puff, with nothing coming
out. The destructive power of the
''75's" is enormous. These guns have
saved the lives of thousands of poilus
and Tommies and it is largely due to
them that the French are now able to
beat Fritz at his own game and give
back shell for shetland then some.

prise on you every once in while,
like this one that he fooled me with.
One morning about dawn we started
out for walk through what used to
be Dixmude-piles of stone and brick
and mortar. There were no civvies to
be seen; only mules and horses bring
ing up casks of water, bags of beans,
chloride of lime, barbed wire, ammu-
milton. etc. 1t was a good thing we
were not superstitious. At that, the
shadows along the walls made me feel
Shaky sometimes.
Finally Brown said: "Come on
down; let's see the 75's.'" At this
time had not seen ''75," except on
a train going to the front, so I took
him up right away, but was surprised
that he should know where they We're.
After going half way around Dix
nude Brown said, "Here we are," and
started right into what was left of

With the M75,s."

My pal Brown, of whom I spoke be-
fore, had been put in the infantry
when he enlisted in the Legion, be-
cause he had served in the United
States infantry. He soon became a
sergeant, which had been his rating
in the American service. I never saw
him in the trenches, because our out
fits were nowhere near each other, but
whenever we were in billets at the
same time, we were together as much
as possible.
Brown was funny card and I never
saw anyone else much like him. A
big, tall, red-headed, dopey-looking fel-
low, never saying much and slow in
everything he did or said-you would
never think he amounted to much or
was worth his salt. The boys used to
call him "Ginger" Brown, both on ac-
count of his red hair and his slow
movements. But he would pull sur

Lieutenant Whosis." If the lieutenant
gets his it is "Carry on, Sergeant
Jacks" and so on as far as it goes.
So the words used to mean, "Take
over the command and do the lob
right" But now they mean not only
that but "Keep up your courage, and
go to it." One man will say it to
another sometimes when he thinks the
first man is getting downhearted, but
more often, if he is Limey, he will
start kidding him.
Our men, of course, did not say
"Carry on" and in fact they did not
have any expression in French that
meant exactly the same thing. But
they used to cheer each other along,
all right, and they passed along the
command when it was necessary, too.

can troops will use. (You notice I

took my turn at listening post with
the rest of them, of course. A listen
ing post is any good position .out in
No Mans Land, and is always held by
two men. Their job is to keep live
ear on Fritz and in case they hear any
thing that sounds very much like an
attack one man runs back to his lines
and the other stays to hold back the
Boches as long as he can. You can
figure for yourself which is the most
healthful job.
AS many times as went on listen
ing7post duty I never did get to feel
ing homelike there exactly. You have
to lie very still, of course, as Fritz is
listening, too, and a move may mean
bullet in the ribs. So, lying on the
ground with hardly change of posi-
tion, the whole lower part of my body
would go to sleep before I had been
at the post very long. i used to brag
lot about how fast I could run, so
had my turn as the runner, which
suited me all right, But every time

to think about what l would do it

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA LAND VALUES
But Forty and Fifty Bushels Of
Wheat to the Acre.

During the past year there has been
Western Canada than for a number of
years past. The demand is for good
farm lands improved or unimproved.
And at an increase OF from ten to fif-
teen dollars an acre more than the
same lands could be had for couple
of years ago
The rise in the price of every kind
of produce grown on these Western
lands, in some cases to double ana IN
others to treble the price prevailing be-
fore 1914, have attracted and are at
tracing in ever-increasing proportions
the men who are anxious TO invest
their money, and apply their energies
IN the production of wheat for when
the allied nations are calling with
voices which grow louder and more
anxious rs the months roll on, and the
end of the war still seems distant
Beef, and more especially bacon, are
required in ever greater quantities.
and the price of all these things has
Soard, until II is not question OF
what shall we produce, but how much
can we produce Even should this
world calamity he brought TO II close
in six months from now, it will be
years before normal pre-war prices
prevail, and meantime self-interest II
not patriotism is turning the minds IF
thousands back to the land. The in
evitahle consequence has been the rise
in values of land, especially wheat
land.
The Calgary Herald, commenting on
these conditions says:
From inquiries made from leading
dealers in farming and ranching prop
critics, ana from the information gath
cred in other ways, It is known that
the value of all land-wheat land,
mixed farming properties, and even
good grazing land-has risen In the
last two years 40 per cent. Wheat
lands in some districts have practical
ly doubled in price. One dealer In
farm lands recently sold three sections
for $40 an acre. one extra good quar-
ter went MS high as 500, and another
brought 500. These are, of course,
large prices, but that they will be
equaled or even surpassed in the near
future is beyond question. There is a
tenure about this rush to the land
from which the most solid hope can
be drawn for the success of the move
ment. The proper tillage of land. TO
produce large crops in climate like
ours is now understood and praCticcd
as II never was in the early days OF
the province. 1t would seem too that
with the increase of land under culti-
walton, the seasons are changing
and the rainfall becoming greater and
more regular.
Crops are being harvested, especial
ly in Southern Alberta, which would
have seemed impossible TO the old-tme
farmer with his old-fashioned ideas
Of breaking and seeding. And at the
price now set by the government for
wheat and which possibly may be in
creased during the coming season. the
return to the practical skilled agricul-
turiSt must necessarily be very large.

HAVE TRADITIONS or GLORY
Many Regiments of the Army of
the United States.

We have heard of those British regi.
ments the "Black Watch" "Seaforth
Highlanders," "Inniskillen Fusileers,"
sherwood Foresters," and some 9TH
erS, famous for the long years they
have been In existence, for their heroic
deeds in past wars, for the traditions
that have come down through genera
Waterloo, or Inkermann, or at the
siege of Lucknow.
Who, outside the army itself, knows
that we in America have regiments
more than a century old, with heroic
traditions, too? That fact was brought
to mind the other day by little news
Item recording the annual dinner In
Camp Eagle Pass, Texas, of the OFF,
GERS mess of the Third United States
Infantry regiment, and said the item
Ever since the battle of Monterey,
in the Mexican war, when for three
days the Third bore the brunt of a
great battle, 1t has been the custom for
the officers to assemble annually for
a regimental dinner"
But the history of that regiment
goes away back of. that battle in Mex
leo In September, 1S47. 1t goes back
over 125 years of active service, since
It's organization in 1892 as the "Infan-
try Of the Third Sublegion." Four
years later it became the Third In
fantry, and so It has remained ever
since.
This famous regiment was not in the
Revolutionary war, but many veterans
of that war were in its first organiza-
ton. 1t was part of the first regular
in the War of 1912 and in the cam
paigns against warning Creek, Chip
pewa, Sioux and Blackfeet Indians. In
the days before there was house or
a road in Kansas territory 1t did duty
there. 1t went through the Mexican
war, the Civil war and the Spanish
American war.
But there is an older regiment than
the Third. The First regiment Of in
fantry was organized in 1889, from
regiment of state troops which fought
under Washington in the Revolution
airy war and ii is yet in existence, its
colonel being Daniel L. Howell of Iowa.
This regiment has a history of glori-
GUS deeds, too; and both these old
regiments will have those traditions of
the past TO spur them on to greater
deeds In this war.

Checks In Gaelic.

A little plaint from bank clerk.
Lately, he says. there have been
checks circulating in this country
printed in Gaelic script. Naturally,
they are Irish ones, and probably
drawn by enthusiastic Sim Feiners.
But what can be the object of intro
ducing another terror to the already
worried and Overworked bank clerk
upon whom falls the task of obtaining
translation? And the Irish check
is not the only sinner in this respect.
For long time the Esperantists wrote
the amount Of their checks in Esper-
anto and became a nuisance to the
banks.--London Chronicle.
