 o4rney about 3:3O o'clock in the morning and marched 12 kilometers to our billeting place. It was in mine and there were so many and such complex passa ges in it that I got lost several times.
 Tt is quite exciting here just now. It is S:15 o'clock and. clear and con- sequently there are quite a number of aeroplanes in the sky which are caus- ing a lot of shooting from the anti aircraft guns. The Boche guns are quite far off but we can see the shells burst, though we can't see the nla- chimes themselves. The day after we got here there were number of Boche machines in the air and it was exciting to watch them try to outdis- tance the guns. They did it pretty well, but we heard later that one of them was brought down that morning.
 ITO go back; when we finally got to the mines on the morning we land- ed from the train, I was as tired as I could be. I had only two hours sleep on the train and the march was about 12 kilometres long. Besides, I was carrying 1,021 fifty-centime pieces in my haversack which constituted the odd amounts of the mems pay deliv- cred to me the day before and it weighed a ton.
 'We were at the mine only one night but I had one of the best times since l have been in France. The French officers stationed there invit- ed us all to dinner, splitting up our number between their three battalion messes. We had a wonderful dinner with excellent wine, enjoyed talking
 
 splendid fellows. We were the first American officers they had met and were much interested in us. The French are so pleased to have us here that it makes us glad to be be here to help them.
 The march the next day from the mine to where we are now. We are in what is left of a little French vil- Iage in back of the lines, and about four kilometres from the front There is war all around us. The village is nothing but piles of rock, the most deso1ate place imaginable. We live In dugouts beneath all debris and are very comfortable. There haven't been any rats in my dugout, but they are all around, picking at the rubbish and dirt. We are in reserve for the companies in the line and take our turn up there tomorrow or few days-no definite orders yet. There has been no shelling right here, but there is up in front and it is great fun I like it so far. I have been up part way, but have not been in the front line yet.
 '"The country is terribly devastated, Nothing but shell holes and bare black trees. It looks something like the end of that pond between Pitts field, Mass, and Adams, Mass, where the water has receded leaving the old tree stumps, except that 1t does not show the ever present shell holes. We are the. picked battalion of the regiment and are in the front lines

hands in action, and has survived 1O2
wounds, but is still just as cheerful
as ever, and is now anticipating a
visit home.
Bishop Mcconnell, who visited the
hospitals in France, tells Of meeting
the young hero, while he was confined
to the hospital. He says, in an &C.
count which appeared in the Lam
marck, Ont, Era, that although Nc
CONCEAL has lot both his hands, and
had suffered severe cuts in his head,
and was badly burned on his legs, he
was still cheerful, and declared moth
ing would please him better than to
get back in the trenches again.
Since that is impossible McGonegal
has been serving his country at home,
speaking in behalf of his comrades
fighting at the front. His parents
expect him home during the winter,
and in his letters home the soldier
says that he wants to attend . uni
versity.
McGonegal enlisted with Company
D of this city, when the war broke
out. He went into action soon after
going across, and was wounded in
February.

KAISER AND THE MAsONs.
Futile Effort for W0rld.Wid Drive
for Peace.

Tor Pe4ce.
It is characteristic Of the Kaiser
that he recently called together in
Berlin conference of the Grand Mas
tiers of the Free Mason lodges of Ger
many, Austria, Turkey, Bulgaria and
Finland in the effort to get them to
pull wires, throughout the ancient and
universal brotherhood Of which they
are part, in the interests of German
peace terms. The Kaiser is not a
Mason himself, and he not only shows
an utter ignorance of Masonic princi-
Piles and usages the world over, but
he also makes the bad matters of his
cause still worse by even attempting
such drive.
Masons of the countries indicated
would, of course, be willing to do their
utmost for the cause of Germany. Ma
sonic obligations in those countries,
as elsewhere, do not stand in the way
of mans loyal devotion to his flag
or prevent him from following the die
tates of his conscience. But it SO hap
pens that the Masons of Germany are
put much in the position of the Rhine
cities that began to cry "Kamerad!
Kamerad!" when the bombs began to
fall. Earlier in the war the Masons
of Belgium appealed to those of Ger
many for common action with a view
to more humane conduct of the war.
The reply was that no such action
was necessary since German princi-
Piles were incapable Of anything but
humane warfare! Later the Masons
of England and France made similar
appeal in relation to better treatment
of prisoners Of war. The German
Grand Master wrote back, mo prison.
ers are enemies, and Masonry in Ger
many means nothing in time Of war;"
The correspondence in both cases be-
came public.
Now, with Germany hard pressed it
is different story, and German Ma
sonic leaders, at the behest Of the
Kaiser, would like to talk things over
in fraternal way with the members
Of the order in other lands. Nothing
will come Of the Berlin conference.
Whatever is true Of Continental Eur
ope, it is true that Masonry in the
United States and the British Empire,
it's chief strongholds, holds itself alb
solutely aloof from political activity
Of any sort, local, national or Internal
ional. And that remains strictly true
in spite Of what the histories say Of
the part Of Masonry in the time Of the
revolution or of the rise and fall Of
an anti-Masonic political party nearly
century ago. The Masons Of Ger
many numbered, in 1915, only $4,000
OR about the membership of the
lodges in Massachusetts,, and those in
the other four countries mentioned
are not more than $4,000. - Boston
