MONTREAL? Dec. 11.- Many inter-
esting facts relative to the life of the
Canadian troops drilling at Salisbury
Plains are contained in a letter from
Corporal Leighton, lst Royal `Mont-
real no imont, 14th Batiiliio Condo-A
S ll.
ian Expeditionary Force, and a foi-
mer member of the Daily Mail editor-
ial staff, to friends in Montreal.
"I doubt very much if the Montreal
public knows very much of our trip
across the ocean.” remarks Corporal
Leighton. “Also if they know muon
of our daily routine, of llie nature of
Salisbury Plain, of camp and cooking
arrangements and of the multiple ac-
tivities we participate in or are wit-
nesses of.
"You know Salisbury Plain. I need
not describe them. Sufficient to s ay
that we are in a most isolated spot,
with Salisbury, our nearest big town,
16 miles' away. Mud has been our
beta noir. Rain fell almost every day
for a month, and through it we tramp.
ed and re-tramped over the same old
lines and parade ground. imagine
the result if you can. Mud and water
above the' boot tops were the outward
and visible sights of the deluge. We
simply had to go through it all.
“l had a system of going to bed with
my wet socks on so that they might be
dry by morning. And I dryed them
only to become wet again as soon as I
went out."
There are some along this line in
the letter. Finally the camp was re-
moved and the situation became much
better.
“Food is plentiful, though without
variety. We are supplied with three
blankets and straw mattress, our tents
have floors, and if the canvass does
not keep out wet and frost as much as
we should like, the fact that the health
of the camp is good is sufficient proof
that we are suffering no harm from a
little exposure. it might be very well
said indeed of some of us that never
have we felt so well; in health and
spirits, nor so invigorated and vitaliz-
ed as now. after three months under
canvas, You do not see such a. ro-
bust, elean-looking, clear-eyed crowd
of men from Montreal to Longue-
Pointe. __
“NOW SEMI-SOLDIERS."
I ‘The rabble, to wlilcb you bade fare-
well on the night we marched away,
is transformed completely to a dis-
ciplined, neat. smart, and above ull,
a healthy looking crowd of scmi-sol-
diers. The ‘semi' means that our train-
ing is not yet complete. We sin' luck
polish, but the will to do is st\\:I‘ig as
ever, our kcenncss for the firing line
ulidiiiiinislied.
' "That is the big question with us.
When are we going to hear the guns
roar? We hope that it will be soon,
but distrusting yet our complete read-
iness in a military sense, ask the ques-
tion without a ilrm belief that it will
be answered tomorrow.
“After Christmas-perliaps. You see
in going up against what is left of
the Germans we are going into it iight
the like of which was not imagined
25 years ago. Everything that \ve
hear strengthens 'the knowledge that
the grimmest, most desperate work is
to come. Thus, when wc :irc being
trained to go forward iii rushes of a
few yards at a time, in groups of only
four or six even, ly: know very well it
is because in the modernized strife
as now exemplified on the battlefields
of Europe. murderous, concentrated
and intense fire can be directed on an

new methods of precluding the fie-
ciniatioii, if not actually the extermina-
tion of moving troops. So we set to
work to learn tllcm, and onl when we

the answer be satisfactory to our oft-
repeated question, as well we know.

LONDON, Dec. 10_-- The Ofllcial
Bureau has issued a detailed descrip-
tion by the eye-witnesses at British

of some of the most desperate flilght-

ruins of villages showcd up black and
desolate. To the left rosc thc town of
Ypres. amid which the _Cloth llill and
cathedral were easily distinguishable.
The extent of the damage done by the
Germans could be rea ized by thc
rooiiess nave of the hall and thc SHP'
ing holes in the tower.
WATCHES SHELLS BURST.
“Even while thc King was watch-
ing several howitzer shells burst ln
the town. To the east ol the city he
saw the woods which witnessed one
of the finest struggles ever wased by
Br_itish.soldiers, in which many of
them and fhiilir allies lie.

You German women must be courage-

“This is a holy war, wherein no lit-

Close to the Berlin limits trophies

l.()Nl)ON, Dec. 11.-Through the
st-urviiiiig of ships, the British Gov-
oliriiiciit has found evidence indicat-
ing nn effort to build up an illicit

for eniitrnbniid have found false manl-
fosi:-l und other irregularities.
On more than one ship. according
to ii high official of the Government,
rubber bns been found under fside
labels and usually manifested as

before the American Government.
This action was taken incidentlal-to

titude by showing what illicit things

ing its course of action and its view!
on the nature of the agreement which
should be made. The British onlcial
said: `
"The evidence we have shows there
are at work German sympathizars,
and, 1 suppose, others who seek large
profits by smuggling through goods

know how systematized this may be,
but I have no doubt that those inter-
ested in traffic of this sort have gui:
