OOXOON, Oct. .1. Instinees of
the lightness of heart with which the
soldiers go Into the u r are many.
In embarking for active service the
Canadians are given jay hooks in
which their illowam . arc entered
from time to time. The hook also
serves tor identification purposes, and

ern front. Several Canadians were
within when they espied the wide
brimmed hats that distinguish the
j Anzaes from all the other soldiers.
i The Canadians gave their fellow co
lonials a hearty welcome and an
equally hearty invitation to “have
something.'' These fraternal details
having been attended to a Canadian
turned to one of the Australians.
"U lien did you fellows come over?''
asked.
' .lust got In this morning."
"Weil, what are you going to do?"
This was too good an opening for
the Anzac.
“Ob.'' he said in a squeaky tone,
: "we came over to finish what you fel
lows started.”
“Humph," replied the Canadian, "it
| is a wonder you didn't first finish
i v. hat you started down at Gallipoli.”
Then the trouble began. It was a
Donnybrook affair for a time, but
eventually peace was declared with
! renewed and mutual respect for colo
! liial fighting ability.
IToth Canadians and Anzaes delight
in nocturnal raids made almost every
niulit on the close-lying German
trenches. On one of these recently
.i ( anadian lieutenant worked his way
unseen to an enemy dugont and sud
denly peered over tlie top. It was
a nasty, rainy night, cold and damp,
and a group of Germans were seated
about a little stove.
i !m\ many of you fellows down
there, called out. the Canadian in a
raucous voice.
"Win." came ha ok a startled and
ambiguous reply.
"Well, share that among you," the
< ansclian shouted, as he hurled a bomb
into their midst and threw himself'
ii.it on the ground to avoid the ef
fect of the explosion.
There is one chaplain at the front j
who insists upon living up near the j
firing line, tie has a nicely fitted-up i
little dugout that he has labelled "The
Vicarage." Recently two men belong
ing to a draft fresh from home —
Cockneys they were happened along
1k' - particular trench.
I," k here, I 'll," cried one, "blimey
il 'ere ain't a bloomin' vicarage."
Out popped the "padre" at that,
with half his face lathered and a
razor in one hand.
"Ves. he said, "and 'ore's the
bloomin' vicar. What can I do lor'
you?”
--
One of the most delightful stories'
from the trenches has been illustrated!
and distributed among the troops for*
their amusement. One night an old
sergeant was "doing a bit of snooping" .
in No Man's I.and between thei1
trenches when a recruit sentry spied i
him and called out:
""Halt, who goes there?"
"Shut your bloomin' mouth or I 11
come over and knock your bally head !
off." replied the exasperated veteran. I
"Pass, friend," said the sentry.
