different detachments of the
German division, watching
them drill, march, struggle to
learn snowshoeing and try to
equal the rebels in marksman-
ship by constant target prac-
tice.
Small time then for gayety
had we youngsters; but later
in the winter General Riedesel
gave a ball every week at
Three Rivers, which delighted
the Canadians and pleased his
own officers immensely.
On the Queens birthday he
gave a grand banquet-cham-
payne, speeches, song, artillery
salutes!-and several poems
laudatory of this good German
man we're recited by simpering
Canadian young ladies.

"Ja! ia! NriH! NeiH! AeA

They are good people, too. But
after a while we English become
heartily tired of hearing any
thing except our own language.
Yet they are good folk il dull;
moved by primitive emotions,
and peaceable and kind by in
clination.
The trouble with me was that
I never before had come into
contact with peasants and did
not understand them. Our
American yokels I understand,
but not such folk as these.
Their YOUNGER officers were
entirely different, almost
French in elegance and esprit
gay, humorous, arrogant
They were rather cruel to
their men, yet stubbornly loyal
to them in battle, not given to
abandoning them, but fighting

fend his flock or herd to the
bitter end.
The winter of '76-'77 really
was not a bad one in Canada.

and few bottles of sour, thin
German wine.
The Baroness Riedesel did
not come. The brave old gour-
mandizing Baron was very sad
about it. The summer months
dragged heavily for him. They
dragged little for me, too.
My beautiful Baroness Won
Leasing did not come. Where
she was I never knew until late
in the summer, encountering
Captain Foy in Montreal l
learned that the Baroness
Riedesel with her children and
servants, the Baroness Won
Leasing with her servants and
Mrs. Foy and her sister with
their servants, were wintering
gayly in London where Lady
Germaine was kind to them
and the Queen received them.
NV own brave old Baron
confirmed this privately to me,
saying that although he was
lonely and homesick. he was
glad that his wife and children
were safe and warm in London
and not facing Canadian
winter, or something worse.
But before that same bitter
winter enveloped us I was des-
tined to see my first fighting;
and this is how it came about.
Marching, office work, tours
of inspection by canoe, bat
teau, or sloop-these were the
portion of our honest General
Riedesel's military family. We
never saw a hostile soldier nor
a hostile Indian.
We had three hundred of
the latter in our division under
Captain Carleton, Sir Guys
nephew.
We had, also, a battalion of
northumberland, brown,
furtive men, who seemed al
ways to be watching us rather
than attending to their own
business. l had an idea they
ought not to be trusted.
We had, too, under our good
Baron Riedesel, two German
battalions and one British to
compose our portions of the
expeditionary force destined
for Lake Champlain where Sir
Guy hoped to corner and catch
this restless devil, Arnold, with

have got much, as our funds
were sadly depleted by this
time, but the road was spooky,
and it wasn't one of my brave
nights, so we turned Carioca
around, and headed back to
the capital. We finally found
tourist home on one of the side
streets, but there are other
ways to spend a pleasant even

Col. Fulgencio Batista, the Cuban
Army chief and dictator, who leaves
Washington today, was given gay
farewell reception last night at the
Cuban Embassy, the walls of which
were lined with flowers for the oc-
casion.
So impressed was the Cuban lead
er with his first glimpse of the
United States that he changed his
plans and announced last night a
more extensive tour than he had
planned before he returns to Ha-
vana on November %.
Col. Batista will leave for New
York today. He then will visit West
Point and will go from there to
Chicago.
The fruits of the colonel's three
day visit, which ostensibly was made
in answer to the invitation Of Gen.
Malin Craig, the Army chief of
staff, to watch the Armistice Day
rites in Arlington, probably will not
be known for some time.
The United States is interested in
a strong Cuba, and Col. Batista is
interested tn getting concessions
from this country to strengthen the
island republics economy.
The. lavish reception last night
followed state dinner for the col
