GUIDES FOR IT’S SOLDIERS

Great Britain Carefully Provides for the Men Home on Leave From the FronL * London*—Soldiers on leave from the front in the early days of the war had the greatest difficulty in finding their way about London and across It to main Une centers .leading to their provincial homes, but this-has all-beta , altered, and what was at Victoria station now works like any part of the military machine. This has been made possible by the help of the volunteers of the National Guard and by members of the Woman’s Reserve Ambulance company, who take Charge of the men on change their French money into English, grant them loans and personally conduct them to the various stations they may require to travel from. The same thing is done when leave is up. The soldier, used to discipline, likes being handed' on from one to another rather than being left in a strange place to his own devices.
