| TALES FROM THE TRENCHES,
THE THIN KHAKI LINE.
An officer in the Army Service Corps writes
You know, reading the home papers- could almost wish that a hole of thes gentry could descend on old England's shores. I don't think mything but that will over arouse them to the awfulnes of the thing that the thin (vey, very this in some places) khaki line in the trenches out here is fighting hard to keep them; and: that very thin line is doing each day something that has never been equalled even by the thin red line of bygons days. I am not-patting myself on the back, for my work lies behind the trenches, and I tako off my hat to every mother's son that is thore. I should have thought that the recruits to the new Army would have exceeded the second million by now, and yet they don't scon to have got the first com- pleted yet. If they could only take the youth of England on a persomily-conductal | tour along our lines here so that they could realizo what we are up agaust, I think they'd join in a body, but, fading that, tho best way to back them up would be a hundred thousand Germans landing in England. I don't suppose they'd get very far, still they would bring home to the smug armchair brigado as nothing else over will something at least of the awful way m which Belgium and part of France has suffered. Those who are out here are doing miracles.
In the meantime, however confident one may be of the result, wo no still a long way of that salvation, and the present bates is still raging backwards and forwards as forcely as ever. As you said in your other lotter, the old Scottish have done uploadidly

but there isn't one regiment in the firing line that is doing better than another; they are all doing their best, and a splendid best, too.
THE SHOOTING SEASON.
A major in the Royal Fold Artillery writes:-
We have had, on the whole, excellent sport. Tho bags have boon heavy, and the birds strong and well-matured for the mut purt. In some of the coverts, however, we found the birds not so forward. In these there were a good many. dicopers" and -old cocks. They came over the guns well, however, and sufficed to keep us occupied, although they did not give us much trouble in adding them to the bags. We are having a few days rest now and I am very grateful, sizce during the last week I only had 10 hours' aleep all told. Also I am a little weary of living in a damp hole, with wet feet and moist clothing. It seems to me we are in for a winter campaign and must prepare to meet it. They tell me the people at home are nervous about bombs being dropped by Zeppelins. Thay ought to come out here-cue feels quite lonely if one doesn't hear ons bursting for live minutes. The rationing of the troops has been extraordinarily good. I think if you were to give men the choice of being here or on mangivres they would all plump for active service un account of the grub.
An officer in the Leicesters writes:
The shooting season is proving excellent, game very plentiful, fat and strong on the wing. Last year's birds are now beginning to give place to large broods of younger well fod and more easily birde not 50 Frightened..
