Today, while resting, a squadron of cavalry was having a water carnival along a pretty little French river. Their band was playing gay airs and all the women, children and old men of the countryside came to see the swimming races, diving contests and attempts to walk a greasy pole across a swift-running stream. There was a soldier clown, too. and a great air of merriment all about. A German prisoner taken sometime ago said he could always tell when the British were not going to attack my the fact that the Tommies could be heard sing ing, especially ragtime.

The coming of spring has emphasized anew how closely the pursuits of peace tread upon the heel. of war.

It is even possible along older bits of the line in the north to see farmers ploughing both sides of the war zone. At the places less harsh ly dealt driven whence the Germans were driven this spring, many of the trenches already have been filled and the ground is being put unacr cultivation. Some of the newly sown fields, however, recently have been ripped up by long ranged German guns. Fighting men who are relieved every little while from front line duty coins for a brief rest to the springtime beauties of the back country and the change of surround ings from the cauldron of war to the peace of blossoms and birds is no greater than the transformation of these English Tommies, themselves, and their brothers from overseas. These men who, under the red spell of battle, shoot, bayonet and bomb to death all who stand ebfore them, become gentle as little children. again.

We are at war whether we like it or not. The groans of our wounded have not yet reached our ears. The casualty lists of our dead have not yet been posted.
