ARMY IN FLANDERS STILL

SWEARS TERRIBLY:"

Corporal Lees Smith, MF, the junior member for Northampton, is now serving in France. In an interesting letter to constituent he gives some advice to the older men soon to be called tip. He writes: Imaging I was as much.ac- customed to comfort and as little adapt- ed to this life as any one of them, but I have found one thing, that nothing has been so unpleasant or difficult as I expected before I had to do it. Every thing depends upor. the spirit in one takes it all I

is elderly, makes

which

although he

a discipline through whind that it in

which he has to go cheerfully he will find he can do it. some ways the eularly man has the for it be advantage over the young ones has less strength of body he ought to have acquire more strength of spirit. I do not say that this is a happy life, because it is net, but the unhappiness does not arise from its hardships, but from the fact that we are all homesick

Long ago someone said "the British swore terribly in Flanders," and judging by Corporal Lees Smith's letter there has been no weakening in expressiOG with the effux of time. "Iz

"I am awuld AZE

those who are soon to be called up have a rude shock at the language of the Army, he writes is no use beating about the bush; the volume and viralence of the swearing, at any rate out here are simply appalling. There is so much of it that it ceases to mean anything. Men out here intepaluce an aath or two into each sentence merely by fores of habit, and without intending to convey any meaning whatever. The habit is

is very infectious. One of my fellow corporala, who in private life weighty and dignified is quita

of a large school, told me headmaster yesterday that he found it vary difficult to avoid catching the habit, and

was, in

fact, succumbing to it. The army st present is made up chiefly

of quite

young men very impressionable to habits good or bad, who, without any malice, pick up without thinking the language which they find around them. I hope the older men who are coming in will retain the civilised language of. civilian life."
