The re- ! port goes that some of our officers ,‘are also Well treated in Germany, especially ,in Saxony. It is the 'Prussizms that we. have it in for. ,The famous song of hate has .heen sung in England by .1 male chorus as a joke and caused no end of amusement.” . Captain Musgrove was in the trenches 36 hours after leaving Folkestone. England. last spring-- .‘which would seem to be going some. They had a fast ’boat to ‘France. then a railway jmmney of .100 miles or so. and then marched |the rest of the way. The captain L was in charge of both the hunt and ’the train. Hf was only at the ifront a mom h, however, when he was wetnded. It was in the f'.‘!lg‘tlgmnent which WM 1)“ known in history as the “Battle for the OrC‘hard of Fastl‘.bert.” It took place ‘in Belgium. They had gone over ithe parapet and were making a ,charge when he was hit by a ma- ;chine gun when several yards from gthe German trenches. There was gan awful slaughter and a small 5 percentage of the captain’s gallant icompany came back to fell the .story. “Did the hl-UW you recen- “You can say that there is nothing but optimism in Eng- land regarding the final outcome: of the war.” bald Captain Mus- grova to The Poet reporter. “It’s inst a matter of time.” He is 0! the opinion that imernal trouble in Germany will hasten the end.

Musgrove. When Malone came across from England he was sent to the trenches in short or der and he had only been there a short time when a shrapnel shell hit the parapet right near him, and he was practically' buried with sand bags. but was uninjured to any extent. When he got back to the limits he told his brother olficers “that the only safe place to be. was to crawl into the bowels of the earth and pull the bowels in after you.” This saying among Canadians at the front is now .. known as Maloneism.â€"â€"Ha nover ‘ Post. ' The saxons do not like the Prussians. and the captain told a little ’incident to demonstrate this. At the front the enemy eometimea allow each other to re- nair their wire entanglements with- out firing, as it’s as broad as it is long. On one occasion the Saxons wanted to do some repairing and they sent {over Word to the Cana- dians to cease firing while they were on the job but when the Prussians came along to “give them hell.” AN mummy gym up this year, and he would not be surprised to see it keep going for a couple of years longer. Its iust a gamble. After being wounded Capt. Mus- grove had to walk about a mile and a half to the dressing station. He was also wounded in the shoul- der in addition to his arm, but the nerves in the arm were ex- posed and made it so painful he did not know that he had a couple of bullets in his shoulder. When his arm was temporarily dressed at the dressing station the doctor asked him. “If that was all?” 'He replied, “I think so.” and made room for somebody else, for the injured were coming in pretty thick just then. It was not until he got to the hospital and his uniform, which was soaked with blood, had been cut off him. that the shoulder wounds were no- ticed. They had been bleeding all the time and he had lost an aw- ful lot of blood. “Oh, I was a wreck,” said Musgrove. He has, as a souvenir a bullet taken from his shoulder. The shoulder wounds healed up very quickly. He was Operated on in England for his arm several times, and as reported 'in The "Post some time ago it was “touch and go” with him on on“ occasion. . r-d knock you over?” asked th.‘ reporter. “No, I lay on my right side With my injured arm upperâ€" most for a time, but ‘1 was on the field directing things for an hour or'so afterwards.” “When you are charging, do you run from your trench to the enemy’s as fast as you can?” asked The Post, “No. in that case you would probably get your men winded and the enemy would have. an advantage in hamb-toâ€"hand fighting. You generally stop two or three times in going across. In fact, anyway, there are huge holes here and ther0 made by shells which you have to avoid, and also there are. the dead and wounded in your way. One is often glad to crawl under a heap of dead to take shelter from the bursting shrapnel.” “However, there is a feeling in England that we should . ‘fight fire with fire,” When the Germans first used gas there Was horror in England and the sentiment was fairly universal that our trrmps should never stoon to that. But that is all ast now and we have used gas an with good effect too.

Suddenly he stopped and wheel- ed like a beetle on a pin. He was steeping a little, and peering un- der his brows at a white mass which lonked like a succession of mounds, but was thickets drlpcd .in snow. Then. by a game path-â€" a regular cut and smooth trodden roadâ€"he ambled in. Then, almost before his neck bristles had smoothed down again from the bear thrill he was upon the edge of the forest staring at the deer.
