A GERMAN TRICK.

a

The following was sent by Mr. Fred James, correspondent with the Canadian Forces in France:- learn on excellent

authority of a miserable trick which the enemy tried to work, with the object blowing up a railway bridge, the other day. He evidently knew our respect for the dead, friend and foe alike, so he buried 4 mine "neat the abutments to the bridge, and covered it up so that it looked like a grave, At one end of the excavation be placed a wooden crow, and inscribed on it: An unknown sol- dier is buried here."

Some of our men passing by the place were struck with the idea that it was rather a strange pince to bury a body. They investigated and became suspicious. Application was made for suthority to exname the body, which was granted. The exhumation, carried out, with pun staking care, revealed, not the body of on unknown soldier but a carefully

concealed mine, laid' and timed to ex plode a few days later.
