"Duck Boards" to Beat the
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.8vA.
Mud was a source of considerable
annoyance to the soldiers. So the en-,
gtneerlng force of Australia devised
what has become, commonly known as
the "duck board/' but which the Cana
dians have named the "bath mat," both
being terms of derision.
The board Is made of a number of
small strips of wood, 14 to 15 inches
In length, which are nailed to string
ers 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.
The '/board", was devised to enable
the Australians, to attack the Germans
more successfully, and^It served to pro-,
? Vide a path to victory. ? Popular Sci

Like rfkost phflosophers, M. Bergson
lives a rather secluded life. His house
In Paris Is as quiet-looking and retir

bors know him only by sight, and have
no idea of the distinction enjoyed
throughout the world by this unobtru
sive spruce gentleman. A short time
ago, when M. Bergson Jssued forth to
j;o to the French academy, where he
was to be formally admitted, the
neighborhood was daezled by 4 mag
nificent academician's uniform ? green
embroidered with gold leaver, a cocked
hat and a dainty sword. Then the
old concierge of the house opposite ex
claimed : "Ah ! the little old gentleman
