I lounged in' a hammock in the yard of my Inn. almost content. I had a month of leave yet. I had come from Crete, though I should have gone home. I was thinking of home when my host broke in on my reverie. "A telegram for the major," he said, and I told him to prepare tor my departure for I knew that only the war office of the Western Command knew of my whereabouts, and that word from them meant that my rest was over. I was to report at Aldershot by the 15th of July, "without fail." I made a flying trip to Moscow and lien on home. I had only a few minutes of my alloted time to spare when I reached the Colonel's office at Aidershot. As soon as I got inside the of

fice I knew that something had eone

wrong, and when I saw the Colonel's face I knew that some crisis was at hand. And, I soon learned the truth. I was ordered to Paris at once. I returned from there two days before war was formally declared between Great Britain and Germany. I was then relieved of intelligence duty and put to warping out subalterns from

the Royal Hibernian. Then came the war itself. It is terrible. In China, in India, and in South Africa, I had seen it of a type, but not this hideous, Godless slaughter of man, woman and child. Poor Belgium! When you and I were there only a year or so ago she was the fairest flower of Europe. Those beautiful canals and rivers that crossed and recrossed her fertile valleys, the stately castles rising to the skys beside them, to lord it over the surrounding country and the sentry-like villas of vine clad beauty that watched her peacefulness are no more. With neither warning or cause the smouldering thunder cloud struck the horizon, and shorn of disguise the

Belgians saw the mailed fist of Prussia demanding a place in the sun. Poor Belgium. They have violated her neutrality, they have murdered her sons, they have outraged her womanhood, and with ever increasing vio

lence untold agonies have been in

flicted, all for a place in the sun. Now,

Belgium is a great charred ruin overrun with a vandal hord of civilized monsters. Her lovely provinces are depopulated, her cities turned into vast holocausts. And one of the most glorious civilizations of Europe is blackened and defaced. The agony of Nero's human torches, and the horrors of the French revolution pale be-

fore the excesses of thi3 monstrous Prussian power lust. It is unbelievable, but I have fought in Belgium, and I know. As you know, I am at home in Liverpool' now, convalescing, though almost fit again. I was struck in one of the early battles. One black morning the order came to move on a mile or so to a small woods. Before daylight we came to the forrest and entered it from the west. Suddenly a hidden battery close to our right blazed out a crashing good morning. The action had begun. The whole woods seemed to blaze forth at once. A battery of 12 pounders spit sharp and staccato. On the far side of the woods a sharp rifle fire broke out, increased and then died out altogether. Before long an appalling machine-gun fire followed by heavy cannonading arose.

ureat trees were gnashed and torn by the shells. Branches were snaDDed

off short by small fire, and little piles of dust besjde the trees told where the machine-guns had wasted fire. We came upon three dead privates with blood pumping furiously from their wounds. . The ground about them was horribly speckled with blood. Just beyond a cross-roads an orderly came in frantic hastes "Colonel's compliments" he said battery "A" will line the edge of the woods. We did as bidden. Just as I caught sight of the great red, angry sun coming above the trees a shell burst squarely under the stomach of Geiger, my senior officer. You knew him as adjutant at Wrexham. It was awful. A subaltern to my left turned ghastly pale and went to coughing violently. A callous cockney private burst forth "Gawd, but there's a good man gone

west, and then started Tiperary at the top of his lungs. I was about to remark to him. when things went all black about me, and next I knew was

the hospital surgeon at Ostend bending over me. I had been struck in the head by bursting shrapnel. I was in the hospital for two months and the tales of the Belgian officers in the neighboring beds arc unspeakable. They have, seen their sisters and wives and mothers outraged, a whole town full of women driven in

front of the German troops and if the Belgians fixed they killed their own. The old men and children h?.ve in many cases been killed in cold blood, their houses burned off and shelter denied them Their works of art, the gems of the whole world have wantonly been destroyed. And yet, you know, they are a heroic people. Many have starved rather than take the rations dealt out to them from the bands of these invading monsters. This is war! The slaughter of countless millions for a place in the sun. But they shall not have the place they

dreamed of. One of our young poet has told the story: You have found your place O Dreamers, In the golden sun you sought. But the clouds have come between you And the vanished dream you wrought. You have found your place, O Sleepers, Where the yellow sun drifts down; But the trench is deep with shadows And the myrtle is your crown. Who knows where it will end? Certainly not I, but it seems a long way, doesn't it? I would certainly love to see you. You know the 23rd will da Its duty, and we'll hope it won't be long about it. Goodbye, and good luck.

Various authorities make -widely different estimates of the number of German divisions which may eventually be brought Into the line on this front, should the Germans decide to engage in battle on a large and decisive scale. The exact total of the German forces in the front line and in the immediate reserve i3 known to a unit. One hundred and twelve divisions occupy the German front line facing the French, British, Americas, and Belgian troops, while their immediate reserves total 6ixty-three divisions. On the basis of 12,000 men ia a German division, this would be 2,100,000 troops.) Possibly several additional divisions have reached various points behind the lines, but the fact has not been established with certainty. At any rate, it is agreed by authorities here that

DANDRUFF SURELY DESTROYS THE HAIR

Girls If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash It out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring: use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all Itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid anon at any drug store. It Is inexpensive and fonr ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. Adv.
