At ter a short time spent at the Regimen was taken by the 4th Canadian Divisâ€" ion, after sixtéen attacks had â€" been Sure of Victory. The spirit of the men is admirable there being no depression. The feelâ€" ing prevalent is one of absolute cerâ€" tainty of final victory. As evidencing the. bravery of the men. battalions have been known to go over the top Wages High. Wages for munition work are high. the average wage being $20 per week where formerly it was $7.50. Air Raids. Staff Sergeant Bechtel was through eleven air raids and he states that contrary to reports that are in circulaâ€" tion in Kitchener, little evidence of the damage done is to be seen:. A man might travel around London for a year and never see any damage whatever, done by air raids. During the five months he spent in London he eadeavored to see all he could in his spare time and only discovered one badly damazed building. During an air raid everyone gets off the streets and stays under shelter until it is over There is no panic and everything is orderly and quiet. Parcels Appreciated. The authorities show great abflity in getting the parcels to the men un der great difficulty. He said he reâ€" ceived ninety per cent. of his parcels even in the front line trenches _ and although some of them arrive in someâ€" what _ battored condition, they get there. « War Bread Used. War Bread is usod exclusively. It is of a dull gray color, and is made from bariey, wheat, beans and corn. It sells at nine cents for a+two pound loaf. No white bread is obtainable: Sugar Rationed. Sugar is being rationed at the rate of threeâ€"quarters of a pound per head per week. It is scarce, but can be obâ€" tained in this quantity. It seils at from 12s to 20c per lb., according to the grade. ; Prices High. J High prices prevail in England. For ¢ instance chops and steaks are T5¢c a Ib.. roasts 60c, and milk 16c a pint. Butter is unobtainable and oleomar garine takes ‘its place being cheap and good at 25¢ Ib. Eggs are $1.20 per dozen. Food Situation In England. | The food situation in England is serâ€" i ious but not alarming. Everyone has sufficient to eat but great care is takâ€" en to prevent vastage. As an evidence of the care exercised in conserving materials, the dish water is even skimâ€" med and the fat secured is used to manufacture soap and its byâ€"product, glycerine, which is the base of mmstl explosives. wk Few Cases of Hiness. _ The health of the men is on the whole excellent. There are very few cases of typhoid fever due to the sysâ€" tem of inoculation followed. The men are well looked after by the Canadian Army Medical Corps. Well Treated in France. * The French people showed every hospitality to the Canadian troops and did everything to make them welcome and to show their appreciation of their allies. ‘ Trench Conditions. During the time the battalion was in Belgium the trenches were well orâ€" ganized, the dugouts and parapets beâ€" ing in good shape except during the time of a bombardment. On the Somme they were not as well organized, the trenches consisting of a series of conâ€" nected shell holes resembling a _ half dug sewer full of water. Men Well Fed. The men on the frort fine were well fed, although it was sometimes acâ€" complished with great difficulty. The men never go hungry, as extraor dinary efforts are made to get food to them. £ 4 Narrow Escapes. l Staff Sergeant Bechtel had several l very narrow escapes especially on the Somme. On four different occasions men were killed right beside him. two of them while he was engaged in conversation with them. On one occaâ€" slon he received no less than sixteen ‘ holes in his great coat but escaped unâ€" }ln)um. one of the shots cutting his shoulder straps pff. The hottest exâ€" perience was shortly after tgking Reâ€" gina trench when the Germans countâ€" er attacked, and the barrage and maâ€" chine gun and rifie fire from the Britâ€" ish and Canadian Troops was so e(-‘ fective that the Germans did not get within 150 yards of the British trenchâ€" es, which had been shortly before takâ€" en from them. It is estimated that the Germans lost 7060 men in twenty minâ€" utes, so effective was the artillery work of the British and _ Canadian troops. In the Battle of the Somme, the battalion to which he was attached suffered 800 casualties out of 1100 men.
