In this particular Canadian section,
writes Henry james Buxton, were one
hundred or more stnlwarts from the

were together in one section OF the
trench.
One of these was Private "Scotty"
Anderson, farmer, telegraph operator,
who had tapped the key from Boston
to Frisco.
Scotty was long, lean and lank,
with arms like bean poles. But his
muscles were steel and his courage
without blemish. Said ScOtty to his

''This Is too slow for me; why can't
we go over the top once in while,

"Time apparently nin't ripe" replied
Murdoch.

"Come on. Yanks," he yelled. "over

With whoop 100 Americans fol-

but he was brushed aside.
