A BdXxhe bullet found a resting place in the kvee of a young Cana- dian lieutenant. dt was near Ba- paume. He was of the Fifteenth Bat: talion, Foriy-eighth Canadian High- landers. His name was Wilfred Bickle. Somehow he crawled back through the mud, fearing every minute would be his last, for they were clase around him and shooting like mud. But he got back. That bullet put him out of commission for some time. i Another young man, Capt. David Fallon, M.C., of the Oxford and Bucks light infantry, was just abouts to let fly a bomb that had hurled to his feet by a German; when it burst, shattering his hand and crippling his shoulder .and injuring the side a his body. That, too, was .ngar Bapdume, It was .with a very faint hope that he, too, finally was enabled to get back "bome" own' trench, but not until a young Canadian had leaped over the top and dragged him to safety, the Cana- dian receiving a bullet in the arm foy his bravery ' It was a real surprise " recently when Captain Fallon, he of the shattered hand and injured shoulder, met Lieufenant Bickle, he of the] wounded knee, in the office of The | New York Herald. It develgped the] young Canadian, who perhaps saved the captain's life in lifting him ovesy the trench was a member of the lieutenant's battalion. | "And bis deed will never be for-| gotfen. remarked the lieutenant. "You are quite right," returned Captain Fallon; "it will never, never be forgotten," with a smile. "It was on November 15, 1916," Captain Fallon said, "and I was seat out at night to find the enemy guns and gather other useful information. There was a Canadian contingent on my left, and an Austfalian contin- gent on my right. 1 was returning Wien I encountered two Germans. "They were armed with bombs, and so was I. We all fired at the, same time, I guess. My bomb land- ed fairly and both, Germans were killed. I picked up one that had fallen at my feet and started to hurl it back when it exploded, severely wounding me about the head and body, and carrying away part of my 'right hand. I managed to crawl to a shell crater, where I remained three days and three nights, 3 r "I finally made a start back to my own line under darkness. I had lost my directions and had just reached a barbed wire entranglement when I was hailed. I recognized a Canadian voice and called out that I was a wounded British officer and could go no further. It was then a young chap jumped over «the top, dragged me back with him and sat me down while he pulled up his sleeve to see the hole a German bullet had made while he was taking care of me.

A 'leader in the movement to have American school histories tell the facts of the war of 1776 is Professor Henry D.

He says: "We have learned that the ancestors of the pre sent Kaiser wanted to steal the whole of the American colonies durs ing the reign of George III. and that the Hohenzollerns, and fiot the peo- ple of England, were direct cause | eg party.' . This dis- covery that-it_ monumental plot upon the part of Prussian junk- ers to add the 'New America' to ibe kingdom of Prussia, which stirred up the strife between the colonies and | the Mother Country, England, and led to the revolution, has been made by a Broup of aistinguished educa= tors, history professors, who are members of the American Historical Society, who now are sitting in al- most continuous session at Washing- | ton, D.C, engaged in the revision of history text-books in American schools."

The writer does not pretend to give an opinion as to whether or not the King of England was aware of the scheme, The plot began in 1750, when Hol- derness, an informal ambassador from the court of Prussia to England, was appointed British - Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs. Holder- ness is credited with having origin- ated the plan, and, looking about for accomplices, Prof. King says that he found" in Lord North, Admiral Knowles, and William Wyndham Grenville, a close friend of the King, men ready to serve him.

FAIRY TALES, » 1 Former Toronto School Teacher Completes Fifteenth Volume, Few realize that Toronto has in her midét one of Lie ¢leverest Can- adian fairy tale writers. Mrs. W-8. Groves, under the nom de plume of Edith Lelean, has completed her af- teenth ctory and has proved'a verit- able fairy godmothér to Canadian kiddies who revel in her stories and playlets, Not only are her stories most clever and interesiing, but they sugar-coat the facts of Canadian his- tory and geography in a way that are made indelible on the growing mind. T stories are also written in the purest English and are such that can be acted in real life and have already provided many inter- esting entertainments in the various schools. In The recenf book. just published possibly the master piece is "The Wooing of Miss Canada." The pro- logue of this litrle play deals with Canada at the time of Confedera- tion and the epilogue, Canada fifty years after, with a prophesy of the future. The godmother with her seven good fairies who nreet at the birth of a nation tell how they have come--two have come by the C.P.R., two on a grain steamer, two hy horseless carriage held by an unseen power, and one on the wings of an aeroplane. Many suitors are present to woo Miss Canada, among them Spain, Japan, Italy, France, Unecle Sam, and Germany, but Miss Canada marries Jack Canuck with the ap- proval of John Bull. This little play is intensely interesting and instruc- tive. National costumes are worn {and it is easy of staging and needs ; only the ordinary bright boys and girls to take the parts, "Like some others who have reached the roomy areas of the top of the ladder, Mrs. Groves was a school teacher. While in the teaéh- ing profession, she took special interest in entertaining work, Suit+ able plays and dialogues could not be So at once necessity became the mother of invention, and Mrs. Groves surmounted her difficulties by' writing her own plays. 3 The first play was given in the old pavilion in.the gdforticultural Gar- dens, now known as the Allan Gar- dens.

General Currie recalled with 1egi- | timate pride that the general army did not know what defeat was. From its first appearance on the battlefield to its recent capture of Passchen- daele Ridge, fortune had always rested on its valor. » "That is one of the reasons of the army's morale," said General Currie, "An army that has never known de- feat can be led to the end of the world. But there are other reasons for the arfay's fine, sturdy apirit. They are fighting with full conscious- ness of the justice of their cause, These four hundred and fifty thou- sand volunteers did not join up and leave the comfort of their hofnes in order-to hurl themselves into.a war of conquest and lust. #olutély descended into the furnace of war ib order to defend the cradle of their common ors and the civilization handed dows by past generations. And they will not give up uhtil the fire is quenched."
