Mystery Port.

A mystery port on the east coast Of
England was one Of the wonders Of
the war. Its name Is now revealed as
Peterborough, near Sandwich. Here
there Is wide stretch Of marsllland
surrounding the mouth of the River
Stour, and upon this has been built
a town covering considerably over two
thousand acres. From this place one
and quarter tons of stores have been
sent to the western front alone. This
great new port Is just outside Sand

The ancient town, where a few years
ago the grass was growing in the
streets has taken on new lease Of

that we might economize in minutes,

we spent with greatest efficiency. At
