The trouble about this war is that you never know you are on a battle field until some one who knows atfout it, tells you so. The English artil is booming behind us, the shells their long, hollow, echoing tun through the air. But in all the land around us, broken only now and then by the 'wrecks of shelled houses there is not a sign, of burcmin lite except ourselves. : y: . "You are not afraid of the English gune behind you, and there is not the slightest sign ahead of you. Just-now, that indicates danger. It takes a guide like the colonel, whose- daily, pathway to the trenehes lies along this route, to tell you all about it. He knows the road, the clumps of bushes beside it. the irrigation ditches, the hollows, the few trees, like a commuter knows hiss way to work in the morning, t We reach the shelter of the house and while Villiers does bis sketeb, the coinnel says:' ? - .
