Little More To Learn: Probably 115 regards the originality and terse emphasis of their posters these French pupils have little more to learn from Extremes Of Temperature their English masters. The cam Here is one extract from Prof. paign is divided into three Kozloff's description of the conditions. There are first the anti- Cominunist от anti-Bolshevist posters and tracts; secondly, there are the anti-Socialist posters; and thirdly the anti-Radien! Socialist posters. In each case a clever pic- ture or caricature with a short but pungent phrase points out the par- ticular danger to the peace and security of France of the Com- munist, Socialist, or Radical policy.

There is no need to tell of our hardships and sufferings in god eral. But I should like to men- bion that we suffered terribly from the cold and from the heat. In the winter our hair froze to our clothes even in the huts, and we were covered with hear frost all the time. To sleep in the tents was altogether impossible. To add to our misery, the cold winds cat-at us most bitterly..

In the summer the heat stood at 70deg. centigrade. The only way to protect our feet was to avoid the red-hot sand and stones, or to wear the heaviest hunting boots possible.
