’.'<'i,L` 'ON

London Evening ,Standard says:

lt_ ,not only been reported for a lo ,time that the German Emperor is oi 'rge land~owner in Canada, but it ha '%';)een asserted that he is the ac- tu T hough not the nominal proprietor of re acres in that British possesion

thas; 'e ever had in all the former Ger- md vscolonies put together. I-lis Can-

’ad' ' .possessions are stated to be held

mas name of his friend and facto- tu ` ~ cunt Alvensleben. The Canad- ia p vemment is understood to have be qaware of the real ownership of

thwcres in question, which include so I' flands of great richness, and, ac- cording to Reuter‘s New York corres-

pondent, is making a thorough inves- tlga. n into the validity of the _trans- ferzgj certain of these holdings to Am- erica): citizens friendly to Germany. Con t Alvensleben was in British Col- urulixiia before the war broke ont, but tbenjcrossed the frontier into the Uni- tocl'f ates, and has since been visiting Sea, e. ln British Columbia he owns so"`,_j~hundreds of thousands of acres of aqgestimated value running into mil- lion§,:of dollars.

P `0 question of the validity of the

tr er roms on the alternative wh` , er the holdings are to be re-

garcsed as .belonging to a private in- divl lull. or whether the Kaiser is to befcensldered as the representative _of an ‘enemy state. If the former inter- pretation holds, the Dominion officials are powerless to interfere. ' even though the individual concerned be the sovereign of a hostile nation.

The Emperor Wlilliam is also said

to have a. large interest in the Hohcn- zollern block of the New York City Loan. the interest on which is pay- able tlirough London.

PRAISE FROM COMMANDER.

_ A sergeant of the Gloucesters writes:

Since I last wrote to you we have

been in action for about seven days, but have now come down to a place .miles behind the firing line for a long rest. We might possibly remain here for tive or six weeks. ' ` The general inspected us today and said a lot of very nice things about the regiment. As I had not taken part in “the thundering good iight" we put up I did not blush. It appears some N.C.0., (no name mentioned) main- tained the traditions of the regiment by turning his rear rank about and firing both ways at once. The general talked for quite a long time-it seem- ed to be interminable at the time - so that our fellows must have really done splendidly.

I did forty-eight hours in the trench-

es-Thursday and Friday, 28th and 29th--and came out at dawn on Satur- day to find-as ilt as ever, shaving by the light of a candle in the cellar of our house--you see we, too, seek the seclusion of cellars. After a series of adventures he had dodged successive coast trains and ilnally, after paying his own railway fare, managed to re- join us. So I am reduced once again to be a humble platoon sergeant.

We went into the trenches again on

the evening of February 7 and did sevenby hours duty. We came -straight from the trenches here-a matter of ten miles. I have often read an account of a British company swinging through a village. We swung from one side of the road to the oth-` er absolutely beaten-staggered a- long an endless road and were finally billeted here lfi schools. We have since left the schools and are billeted elsewhere in the village.

A member ol' the Royal Engineers!

writes: Three-quarters of the popu- lation of the town of-have left; those who pluckly hold out show mag- nificent spirit and require no teaching on how to carry on "business as usu- al." One enterprising merchant has actually stuck in his window a notice "Buy your souvenirs of --here;” while another has made a corner in English cigarettes and does a roaring trade. Exploring the town on Monday another fellow and I were alarmed by the gwhlz-z~z-z of' “coal boxes" -over our hehds, one of which exploded a- bove a house on our right. Soldiers and civilians sought cover in all direc- tions. _

Since coming hero we have lived in

perfect inferno of sound. Rifle firing is almost continuous. British field guns and howitzers and the famous French "75,B." are all round us, and keep pounding away all the time; while the Germans are evidently at- tempting to find their positions and knock them out of action.

A VIVID DISCRIPTION.

A Gordon Highlander writes: _ I will never forget my baptism ofi

tire in this campaign. I thought I was at war in South Africa, but no, l am at a loss for words to express what sensations I had.

Imagine for yourself a. shower of

bullets raining round you. Plenty of shrapnel bursting around you. A pal next to you says."-it, they have got me.” Another sinks down, says noth- ing-you trying to brace yourself up to keep your old rifle going, and their snipers trying to get you every time you try to get a bed on them. Then a whistling through the air. Down goes your head until the shell bursts and the showers of deadly misscls falls down. So goes the day. The word is passing along-"Stick to it boys; the Royals are coming up on the

loft." Then, “Rapid m-e." “Prepare tv

charge!" Our artillery bangs like blazes. We climb out of the ditch we were covered in, and a wild, yelling line moves forward. and God help whom we meet. Many men fell by the way. '-Your next man drops. Yuo glance at him, hesitate, then on, us- ing language that is neither in the dic- tionary nor in the pulpit. But do they wait? No. Off like rabbits. As we charge a good hundred yards, we are puffed. So the orders comes- "I-lalt! lie down." A rapid fire on the fleeing horde; and we lie breathins hard. potting away as .soon as -we see a mark. Darkness comes down. “Form up, boys. Number!" So many defl- cienti We suddenly discover that we are hungry; into bully and biscuits.

“H ELL LET LOOSE."

A corporal in the .AGordon High-

landers writes: l reckon it was of the fiercest lights that the "Gay Gordons" took part in. and as usual the good old regiment covered itself with glory. A certain general antfofllcers "who had witnessed the famous ,Dargal charge told us it was ridiculous com- pared with that of December 14. My company, D. bore the brunt of git, and I don't know how l escaped."‘=Before dawn we occupied a position some 400 yards south of the German lines. At

dayxreak our artillery opened a ,teri- ilc re and the enemy’s trencliemas a prelude to our attack. Eight .o'clock brought us the order to advance, and we rushed over a level plain ` which was absolutely devoid ofa vestige of cover, and which was swept bya hall of bullets from Maxim and rifle.

I think it was there that I experienc-

ed the worst few minutes of my life, just as we broke cover and met the full ilre of the enemy. Several men were down before they reached the "fire" trench, and hardly had we

During the night the troops are work- ing, filling sand bags, putting out wire entangleinents, bringing up rations, or ammunition, and last, but not least pumping. The Royal Engineers fix up the pumps to pump out the water from the trenches. Some of the trenches are waist~deep with mud and water. Every night fatigue parties are taking up planks, bundles of faggots, tubs, etc., to put on the bottom of the trench to try and make dry footing.

The troops in the treuqhes have

had gun boots-that is, knee rubber boots- issued to them, but ln some cases these even are of no use, as the

water gets in at thot top. You must understand that all be trenches are not so bad as that, and by working on them most can be improved. We took them over from the French, and it looks as though they did not care what they lived in so long.as thc trenches were occupied by troops.

Another curious thing is the dispo-

sition ofthe troops opposed to us. in one section ofthe line we occupied our men could with comparatively safety go out in front of the fire trench to work on the wire entanglements, only getting an occasional shot from the

Germans. ln another section the least ..

movement was greeted with a heavy fire.

FROM THE IRISH HERO. I

Michael 0'Leary, V. G., writes: I had not a‘ had Christmas. We

had some Christmas pudding sent by Princess Mary, and enjoyed it. The fighting around Christmas Day was very quiet, but on St. Stephen’.s night they thought to attack us. We had a two-round contest.

I said to my mate, "This will be a

three-round contest." But no. The shower of bullets we sent across in the round was too much for them.

They know what the Irish Guards

are to their grief. They are not so fond of attacking now. They dread our steel. and know to their cost that Irish Guards are great bayonet iight- ers. Our onlcers are very brave men;

they dread nothing. When the Gor- mans are advancing you can see them walking up and down the trenches with a smile, saying, "Give it to them. boys," and telling the sergeauts to let the men at them.

Then comes the word to "I-‘ix bayo-

nets, charge!" and you should see them flee before us.

We are away for a few days from

the trenches. which is a .God-send from the muck and slush, but we will be back in a few days, and there will by something doing. ,._._.
