The daily papers that I seo all cry in tones of wonder, the praise of our fine iads in France who face the German thunder; and not a single day goes by hut some kind friend will hail me. and with a two-inch line of type with gestures will assail me. "My friend,? he cries, "the Yanks are there! And that hig boob, the kaiser, will all too soon their anger feel, i^nd ? sadder be and wiser! Twas only yes-1 terday "they took a mile or two of trenches; and soon in Berlin's parks they'll be, a-sitting on the benches!" Now, I don't grudge that praise a bit? I like to hear them boasted: I like to hear our boys in France get cheered and sung and toasted; I wish that I were over there and scratching at the vermin, and now and then from time to time I'd pot a husky Gennan.

When the allied forces in Flanders are not battling with the Germans they are trying to outwit nature. This is the substance of a report brought back from the firing line by Maj. Gen. Charles Clement, U. S. A. Mud was a soured of considerable annoyance to the soldiers. So the engineering force of Australia devised what has become commonly known as the "duck board," but which the Cana w 1 <i11na \ c ljumicu iiic: uaui uiai, uvui being terras of derision. The board is made of a number of small strips of wood, 14 to 15 inches In length, which are nailed to stringers placed in front of one another and extending for miles. A step off the "duck board" means a plunge into a sea of mud at least three feet in depth. I The "board" was devised to enable the Australians to attack the Germans more successfully, and it served to provide a path to victory.?Popular Science Monthly. A Bergson Anecdote.

This rapid development is referred to br war department officials as showing that if Secretary Baker should issue a call for 2,000,000 men as the first quota -under his new mobilization scheme, there might be three or four million American soldiers in Europe by this time next summer. It is said that as part of the new plan, more cantonments are to b? erected, seme of them permanent and others of canvas. At the same time, i the system of training, now perfected, i will *be pushed to the extreme so mat as fast as the cantonments are emptied, new units of 30,000 men will be rushed to fill their places.
