kept busy during this tlm. Our work
was to bo standing by every mlnuto
of tho day nnd night, and tho momo"t
wo wore wanted, to sling tho despatch
cauo over our shoulder und got away
for tho 'headquarters to tho rear.
The riding at night was terrible.
Tho Germans wcro shelling all tho
roads in tho vicinity, and wo had to
go dashing along through tho Inky
blncknefls ut breakneck pace. It was
imposslblo to soo moro than a yard or
two ahoad, and so It was a case of
rldo like tho dlckeno and trust to
luck. Tho road was covorcd with
shell holos, and tho flrat intimation
we would got of the faot was when
wo would feol the motorbike drop be
noath us and feel oursclvci shooting
through the air like amatour sky
rockets.
We would pick oursclve. up, drag
tho motorbtko out of the hole, and, If
It would still run, Jump on It and got
away a;aln. Wo certainly got some
terrible spills, and there uero a good
mnoy who got broken bonea, nnd a
fow who had their necks and backs
broken.
Imagination cannot conceive of our
utter misery. Everywhere I looked
at all hours of tho day and night, It
was Just nightmare. Host of tho tlmo

Another follow camo in carrying two

of courso, ho dropped them Just be

and coming ho middonly, Lewis Jumped
over a tablo and fainted dead away.
, Wo were all in about the name con
dition, and it didn't tako much to get
a rlno out of us. Poor Lewis was
killed tho next night by falling into a
shell bolo.
About the fifth or sixth night of the
battlo, tho Gannons broko through us.

torrltory. They held their gain about
fourteen hours, when wo counter at

When wo advanced again our road
lay ovor ground that had been In Ger
man hands during tbo few hours they
held the ground.
A despatch rider was coming over
this road Just as daylight dawwd. Two
wounded Germans lay on the dido of
tho road, and as the rider pasvod, one
of them called to him and asked for a
drink of water. Tho rider etoiped,
turned around and went back, throw
his water bottlo to them, and then
turnedaround nnd started, on again.
As theV rider turned these two men
both fired on him, and ono of tho bul
lets struck part of his motorcyclo.
All the time this KTcnt battle was
raging tho bombardment of Ypres con
tinued, and not only Ypres alone, but
all the surrounding vlllagos, and tho
roads leading from ono to the other
also. ,
I eald that at the beginning of this
battlo our corps of despatch ridors
numbered thlrty-ono In all. At tho
end of tho engagement, three wcoks
later, there wore only four of us lct
out of the original thirty-one who
started.
The Germans failed to break us, and
so tho Kaiser kept his word regarding
tho city of Ypres. Day after day thoy
bombarded the place, bo that now thorn
is not one single housa loft standing.
Tor some reason tho Germans contlnuo
to shell the fnaco from tlmo to time,
but they can't do any moro damago
than what they havo already done.
The end of the battle found us with
on jwMrirftin irtlll Intsfit. nnd I don't
think they will ever como any nearer
to break through the British lines.

CHAPTER XV.
yw Git 12 AT deal has been said
Hoi of tho Canadians. Too inuoh
B praise cannot bo given
them.
The first of the Canadian regiments
to como into action was the Princess
I'atrlola's Canadian Light Infantry.
This regiment woo In one of tho dlvl
elons in our army corps, so I saw
qulto a bit of tbem from time to time.
They worn a flno body of men and
were very highly thought of by all
tho Kngltsh regiments with whom
thoy wcro associated. Thoy wero
strong men and noodod strong leaders
to keep thorn at their hlghost point of
etllolency, Huc.h mon as Col. Kurqu
har thoy adored, and there was noth
ing he could ask thorn to do that
would remain undone. It was his
custom to lead his men Into action
carrylnr nothing but a walking stick,
end llttlo things like this moan a
great doal to tho mon of n regiment.
At ' tho time the Canadians were
brought into notion wo had eomo
black troops on our oxtreme loft. Tbe
Oermnna ent over gas and these
black troops were forced to retire.
Purports wore called for, and as ours
was tho nearest houdqu&rtcrs In the
vlo'.nlty the call camo to us.
We had no sparo troops available
right on tho spot, so the men of the
headquarters unit (orderllos, messen
gers, &o.) wero called upon to go up
ond act oo supports until reinforce
merits could be brought up. Wo went
tip on the dead run and found that
tho Mack troops had retired, so wo
v.ont Into tho poiiltlon Just In front of
tho Germans, The Kalsor'n troops
had aJvancod about two rnllei, but
hal stopped at tho lust trench of our
llrnt lino of dofonbo. There were no
nu-ro trenches for four miles.
The troops who had retired were or
dered into rest camp When we took
tho petition over, bo wo had to go In
and hold until the Canadians camo
up Tho Germans mado no attempt
to advance any further, and we cer
tainly wero In no posttlon to quarrel
wih them Just then, Wo waited thero
nil I'lKht, and Just before dawn the
Cur.allans arrlvod. They didn't stop
for anything, and went right over tbe
top of us and at the Germans. We
acted as supports for them during
this engagement, and it was a treat
to soo the way they went after them.
Trenoh after trench they took with

out any letup. Tho Oormons oontest
od evory Inch of tbe ground, but
nothing could atop the Mnpln Leaf
boys that morning. When the Ger
innns waited long enough for the
lighting to come to close quarters, the
Canadians wore right thoro with the
cold stoel, and whon the Germans
kept their dlstanco those, boys showed
that they know which end of a rifle
tho bulletc comes from.,
The Canadians bad advanced about
n mllo In this way when the Germans
brought up some reinforcements and
immediately started to counter-attack.
Thoy drovo us back a fow hun
dred yards, but wn mado a stand,
nnd after tho edge had worn off tho
dcrman attack wo commenced to ad
vnnco again.
Tills time there wm no denying the
Canadians, and they went right
through until thoy had retaken all the
ground that had been tost. They al.10
recovered four guns which tho Ger
mans had captured.
As nearly aa I can tell, It wan at
this Mmo that the reports began to
fly around that no prisoners wero
being taken. This Is on extremely
dimcult thing to apeak of. There is
no doubt that on oertaln occatilona
both sides have refused to take any
prisoners, but I would not care to
plaoe the responsibility of the begin
ning of tho practice in any ono par
tlcujar place,
Thero In no doubt of the fact that
the Oermans hate and fear tho Ca
nadians, A peculiar thing happened
soon after the Canadians so distin
guished themselves. A certain Eng
lish regiment recolved orders to tako
some trenches at a given time. Tho
officers of this regiment had tho rmm
fix their bayonets and stlrlc thotu
over thoTiarapet of tho trench several
minutes beforo tho attack was to bo
made. They did so, and kept cla-iU-Ing
their bayonotu one ngalnnt an
other and making an awful row gi-n-orally.
When the whistle Mew a young
subaltern was tho first man ovor tho
parapet, and ho yelled nt tho top of
his voice, "Como on, Canadians!"
This got the Germnns' goat, and
our fellows took threo lines of
trenchos without losing a man AH

a mother the met stored thing on earth Ii not tha man who will maka

"lie abuses me of being unwomanly- she said, "lie thinks I ought

she took my advice.

man who won too small and too mean to appreciate her, but merciful time
will auroly heal that wound, I know. Boms day a fine fellow, Ilelen'a real
mental and spiritual mate, will come along, and aha wilt know what tpio
happiness means. And she will know a depth and completeness of Joy
which very fw over gain, for servico to other, Is wonderful In Its after

I think that Helen'fl problem Is one of the commonest which confronts
girls of to-day. Many a girl Is the support of a mother or a younger sister,
or Is putting n brother through college and many such girls lose what
they think la a wonderful opportunity for happiness In marriage because
some man does not agreo with their Idea of duty.
Let no girl Imaglno all the romance of her life la shattered because

One of our oflloers turned to this
big Welshman and shouted, "Man
allvo, do you knuw -what you've

Welshman ruplled rather sourly,
"Aye, Mr, mnbbo no. Anyhow, I'd
rather have the Victoria Cross thuu

Our hendquartors wero still In
Poperlngbe, nnd the German nero
plunes continual to visit us evory

would drop soma bombs and kill a,
few civilians, but tbe situation was
not critical enough to cause us to

On Baturday morning, April 24, I

professors do not get i per day and

real stars of the films If It wen
proper to compare a mere professor
with Algernon Pompadour, tho Ucy

The fnot Is K,00 a year Is about tlm
average for college professors In tl o

In this commercial age we are ac

Its money value. Gauged by that rule,
the college professor plays a poor part
In American affairs. Hut the rule Is
not a true one, and the rrfleotlon for
his poor lot In life rests upon our
civilization and not upon this im
