Incidentally. all the members of the
committee had tasted the smoke of bat :

was something deeper than an official
welcome in the greeting they gave the

As the soldiers lined up inside the
gates, Acting Superintendent Mills

Letter Tells of Mutiny

In a letter from Germany found on
soldier, there is an account of a
mutiny at the town of Mousse by men
sent to our front.
The troops in one train refused to
go to the front, and looted and de-
stroyed the refreshment room at the
station. Even the Landstrum was
called out, but the troops on their part
took their rifles and showed they were
quite prepared to shoot. Thereupon
officers have no more control over
their men,"
The men who came through our
line Wednesday all say the German
army is profoundly resigned and that

long and too bitter and they arc

failure of their last offensive.

ing out in rear-guard actions with the
courage of despair, and if that is not
first class courage it is second best
and takes a lot of beating.
On our side there is all the difference
between one world and another, all the
difference between tn spirit of hope
and of despair. 1t is utterly true to
say that our men are going forward
with gladness and eXultation. They
know the risks ahead. There is moth

rors of war. They know its fearful
fatigue, the beastliness of things, the
stencil and dust Of the battlefield, the
wicked snap of machine-gun bullets
and the howl of the high velocities.
But, in spite of all that. they are
marching forward with a light in their
eyes and eager looks, and whole
armies are on the move with a grim
kind of joy.
An Astounding Pageant
1t is an astounding pageant, these
hundreds of thousands of men--Eng-
Austraians-all moving in a long
reaching tide, with horses and guns
and transports. along tracks over old
battlefields, going forward mile by
mile very slowly because of the surge
Of traffic over narrow ways, but never
stopping
Dust rises from these moving legions
in brownish clouds which the wind
tosses above their steel helmets, and
through this dust, on which the sun
is shining hotly, there Is a vision of
brown masses of men, with the CLINT
of steel on rifles and helmets and
twinkling colors, red and blue and
green, of staff badges and pennons.
There is a great music of war over
all this scene. Scottish hattalions go
Of the way by their pipers, and across
the battlefields come the wild Cry or
the pibroch and the drone of many
pipes. The English battalions are
marching with brass bands playing
OF English marching tunes, and be-
tween whiles. merry bursts of ragtime.
The crunching of heavy gun wheels
over rough ground, officers shouting
orders to their men. the hooting of
lorry horns and motor horns and an
incessant hum of airplanes overhead
all make up a symphony which has a
song of triumph in its theme.
A French artist friend of mine
watched this scene, and it lighted fires
IN his eyes--the warrior look of our
men, their splendor of physique and
youth, their hardness and gravity,
which seemed to him illumined by h
sense of victory in their spirit. A
young officer of a machine-gun section
came down from the line slightly
wounded. with a trickle of blood down
his cheek, but there was kind of
glamour on his face as of some mes
senger of good fate. and seeing, per.
haps. some look of understanding from
the French painter. who was watch
ing him, he turned and laughed and
waved his hand.

They tell us these things frankly
enough on our side of the lines, and in
letters we pick up on battlefields we
read their misery One man Of the
Tooth Grenader Regiment wrote on
August 2s:
The British are now a little more
quiet. just at the spot where we
quartered a fortnight ago he began
his advance and attacked with hun
dred tanks. The Bavarians. who re-
lieved us here, have nearly all been
captured by the British. If they had
left us in line another two days the
war would have been over for me by
this time. So are we in mortal danger
, every day, and we certainly could not
be worse off with the British than we
are here.
The war cannot last much longer.
We cannot hope 70 rany further sue
cess. Our enemy is superior to us in
numbers, and everything else, and
victory is out of the question"
Another man, of the 19Oth Infantry
regiment. writes in letter home:

Since lying here I have been smoked
