The old order changes yielding place to new. for (lod reveals Himself in many ways lest one good custom should corrupt the world. Bid farewell to the old Trench and Camp. Beginning with next week's issue Trench and Camp will appear revitalized and transformed. For some time past, the editor of Trench and Camp has ?.een considering ways and means for making the paper more readable, more instructive and more representative of the. sol1 diers it aims to serve.

It Is hoped that more news and better news can be printed 1 in this way. One word more, neither this plan nor any other plan will bring results unless every reader does his hit by writing and bringing in to the Y. M. C.
