Wllu tue very dLluOSpuSIeb IS beeI a swiftly flying object which at tim reflects light similar to a minute particle of glass, then pt, pt, pt, pt, whiz-oo bang, and bomb had dropped and shattered a part of London. A second look into the skies reveals what appears to be the striking of matches, but again the pt, pt, pt, pt, of the aeroplanes Ireveals that British fylers and Ger man Taubes are in deadly com bat In the very heaevns.
 Thus Mrs. CT orge Craig, of Daw- son, describes German air raids on London, for she has just come back from London and aw several raids cn the city.
 Mrs. Craig says there are always planes flying over Londodn and a person seldom knows whether the suond of the machines is that of an enemy or of one of the British flyers. Not until a bomb has fal- len, and the peculiar hollow sound of its striking its objective is heard do the people know the enemy is seeking the lives of the people. British Artillery is con- stantly practising near London, and the booming of the big guns is so 1 frequent that one gets used to big explosions.
 T was living in an apartment house when one of the raids came and the people upstairs all ran down to my rooms on the ground floor to watca," said Mrs. Craig, and she spoke in her kindly but hurried way which showed that the strain of constan' vigilance had played havoc with her nerves. We would watch from the porch or from the windows, until the raid Twas over or until our planes had driven the enemy away.
 T was in London when the first American troops passed through the city. rcpanes followed the course of the men by flying high over them them, so that London CTS could always know just where were the Americans. They all looked serious, and seemed to know Rlready of the grim reality of the war. They certainly were a glor- ious sight to London people, and 8 finer body cA men l never saw"
 Mr.. Craig is the wife of George Craig, of Dawson, who is connect ed there with the department of justice. She wore a blue waist, black skirt, and the characteristic half shoe so common to British people. Mrs. Craig shows in her features the very spirit of England, one of determination to win the war at any cost, and a belief that 1t will be won.
 Mrs. Cragi says that everyone in England is working, and that the one idea is to win the war, that 1t has not been won yet, but that it will be won just as sure as time last Women are working in intuition factories, they are employed in banks almost exclusively, they guard the entrances to depots and public buildings, and women act as con ductors on ali motor busses and street cars. She says they look very smart in their short skirts, leather boots and hat.
 This war is to be won on wheat, said Mrs. Craig. There is not e. nough wheat 10 go the rounds, and to give a just proportion to all we must use only oRe-thfrd wheat in all bread stuffs that we make. This IS being done in England, and the soldiers are getting brown bread
 Prices in England are well regu- lated. We were allowed one half pound of sugar per week, which we had to secure from the same gro cer each time. We were issued per mits on a grocery store and if they had the sugar we got some, but if they were out, we got none.
 "The people are in doubt about the reports of revOlts In Germany. News of various uprisings may be German propaganda. The Germans have told so many lies that we don't know what to believe.
 "The theaters Of England are full every night. They must be run, for soldiers at home on furloughs need recreation. The boys how ever do not jest and joke as they used to do at the beginning of the var. Anything that English peo-
