After we were here a day the Army | Service Corps took over all the bake shops and flour and are now making bread for the treops.

All day it had been | raining and we were wet totheskin. Jusi at dark a certain persoo, whom you know well, suggested that as al! the blankets | were wet, and we too, and as there were | three inches of mud all over our camp | grounds, that we steal dowa and get into a | certain bouse, the people of which we! hadonly just got acquainted with and | there spend the nigat in comfort. They | gotto the house and told the plan, and}

glad to let them have a epare room. There they spent the whole night ia their wet | clothes, writing letters and emoking for | they were too wet to lie down, They had | atime fooling the picquets to get to town, | and had to do what was against con- | ecience—tell a few fibs, but they did the | trick and arrived im camp in_ the morning al] U. K., no one being any the, wiser. [gota pass the second day andj started to do the town, and, as in every | Other part of the world, the first man | whom I got iato conversation with was a Canadian, from Ontario, who had been i here eome 12 or 13 yeare. His name is} Mr. Peterson, and | tell you he showed | me all that wasto be seen in the town, | The first place we went to was the Church of Eogland Cathedral, and it is one of the finest little churches you would want te see, beautifully fioished inside, something like St. Paui’s at home, with a beautiful whive marble floor, beautiful pipe organo,

lutely certain that Sir Charles Tupper would sweep the country, and he be- lieved that in this great triumph the | Sir John A. Macdonald Club would} play an’ important part. In his busi. | ness be had met fair-minded men from every province of the Confederation, | and they ali told

ministration’s pending doom. Old poli- teians aod men of wide experi-~ ence, declared that at the next!

election Ontario will send sixty sup- porters of Sir Charles Tupper to the ~ sere of Commoner, while west of Lake

Superior the liberals ovly dare claim'one lone supporter, Mr. McCaskill did Dot | believe that even this cold comfort would | be voucheafed to them when the ballots came to be counted. He was confident that the three maritime provinces w ould fall eplendidly into line, and that Quebec | sbould at a very conservative estimate re- turn 25 con:ersatiye members.

“These statements were all applauded by the members of the clut,ind the cheers were increased when the president-elect proclaimed the men now in power a party of obstruction and «destruction while he said that the Coneervatives were the pro- gressive and constructive party. As a Nova Scotian, he could not but refer with pride .to euch great men as Sir John Thompson, and Sir Charles Tupper, whom his native province bad given to Canadian pubiic life and he had no_hesi- tation in saying that the present revered leader of the Liberal-Conservative party was one of the greatest statesmen the British Empire had produced.”

This view is certainly most encourag~ ing. But it is believed that the turnover in Quebec will be much greater than in- dicated by Mr, McCaskill. There, as well as elsewhere, the? Liberal following bas largely decreased,
