In a way, it is too bad that this great and beautiful American china should have come to us in warâ€"time when the praise and reverence it deâ€" serves may be glossed over by many who miy Con‘ider it just an emergency product, dreamed up to catch the "carâ€" riage trade" at a time when imported china cannot be had.

Plan of Attack is Outlined The Royval Navy lands the troops at | the foot of the cliff and the party proâ€" ceeds over the beach to make the raid, making as little noise as possible. The men scale the cliff and the raiding secâ€" tion goes inland to destroy the Radio Station. One party clears the building and seeks a prisoner and papers of value to our Intelligence. The noise awakes the enemy defence, and the raiders withdraw under cover of smoke and the fire of their own men. That is a brief outline of the demonâ€" stration. First three boats which we were told were some that took part in the Dieppe Raid, landed the party. The secaling of the cliff by ropes and the manner in which the ropes were taken to the top of the cliff were most interâ€" esting. How the party makes the descent of the.cliffs, even bringing away the ropes used, and the withdrawal to the boats while portected by rifle fire, were carâ€" on the shore. To show the detail in this manoeuvre, the men selected to act the parts of prisoner and interrogator, were both able to talk German, and carried out that part of the show in that language. Then some supposed casualties were brought down on these same ropes, and a pmonel who was interrogated The party moved on to a point on the coast where there were high white cliffs, to see a commando raiding party in action. Then followed a demonstration of visual svctem of signals by lights, and although it was a very bright day, mesâ€" sages were exchanged with distant poin‘s by means of flashing lights. FPinally after a longer absence than usual over the sea it returned, but this time made a double roll over us before flying away home. This roll is a sign of jubilation frequently given when a pilot downs an enemy plane, and a short time after we were told that this plane had intercepted and brought down two German planes just off the coast where we were. Newspaper reports that night said that an English plane had shot down two F. W. 190 German planes off the south coast, and that the pilot of one had bailed out and was captured. deéemonstration of 3" mortars, throwing both high explostres and smoke bombs against a bank some distance away.

We might not have been so ~arc‘¢ree earlier that morning, if we had know then that the cliffs over which we were climbing were heavily mined, and that if we had stepped on a hidden mine, we would have been blown to pieces. Among those I talked to were Lloyd Backwell of Waterloo, Que., Lieut. J. St. Jacques, of Quebec City, Clarence Lynch of Moncton, NB., Harvey Daley of Bathurst, N. B. George Williamson of Campbeliton, . N.B., and Prancis Bryant of Dorchester, N. B. Lunch In An Interesting Location The morning was brought to a conâ€" clusion with a delightful lunch, served in the open, on top of the clifis, in a scene of overwhelming beauty. From this point a magnificent view of the sea, white cliffs, and green country sroread itself before us. I was assigned to a table presided over by Brig. K. G. Blackader of Montreal, and also at that table was Col. V. M. Hugman, also Montreal. We learned during the meal that the last time a lunch had been servig at that spot, some Messerschmidts had come over and machineâ€"gunned the gathering, We did not let that spoil our appetites, and Mr. Napigr Moore, one of our party, remarked that if they came over this day, they would break a lot of dishes. After such an interesting and thrillâ€" ing show, we were very glad to have a chance to talk to the men, and soon groups in animated conversation were formed on the shore, We found the men unusually keen, strong and enthusiastic about their work. ried out in an admirable masner.
