It is founded upon an actual experience. WELL, Sergeant, there'a a war oil, and D Coimiaoy's in it." Ù'i¡ll these words the captain of D' Company greeted Xo. 16's platoon ser- geant". The Big l'iigh had been in pi ogress nearly a rortnigM, and the —— had beer: hiu'iiia: a very busy time, ad at the pre- sent moment were holding a line oi trciiches in a particularly warm part. Sergeant Rcxisers had been called from hI:, post in reserve by the captain late one particularly tine afternoon. The guns had been very busy all day, and on his Lo the company oiffcer's dug-out. Ser- geant Roders ducked many times as the lierman shells whizzed overhead at; a bat- tery not 50 yards awoy. To-night with a party of forty men, your own choice, you are to raid the c:i amy's lines in front of Regent-street. Lieut. Thompson will be the officer ir. charge, so you had better tee him and make arrangements according to the plan laid down bv the Colonel. Tha?L; all.? 1he best of luck to you. Sergeant:.? A few miniites later Sergeant Rodgers i and Lieut. Thompson were on their way to the front line trenches. This was no easy matter. The trenches were badly battered, and owing to the tremendous amount of work to be done little time could be spared to put them to right*. The relieving was done at night, and a tfciytime journey a dangerous business, ??'i r,?. to duckand run TO give the Boehe no chance of hilti]? if?) gIN-e of hittiji,, Arriving in the i'tont line the first busi- ;:e- to i;nd the jnnJM to be i;>. t c k and the best way to get at. it.

Men were being hit out fast. Sergeant Rodgere, badly hit, never- theless, found strength to throw u last bomb with a wish that at least one of the Huns would benefit by its explosion. Lieut. Thompson was setting a fine ex- ample, and altho ugh little more than a boy had got to the enemy parapet before reali6ing the hopelessness of tile attack with so small a number of men left. The order to retire was reluctantly given. The wounded were as far as possible carried back to our own lines amidst a tornado and machine-gun fire and trench mortars. The party had found out the enemy dis- positions at this particular strong point, j but at the cost of over 20 killed and wounded.

IN THE ALPS
IN THE ALPS Work among British War Prisoners. By J. Glan Griffiths. THE thrill of interest and of thanF, g giving which ran through the hoint-7and wlien the news'" of the transference of many hundreds of British prisoners (all in a sad state of health) from the German prison camps, for treat- ment and recuperaiion in Switzerland, was the signal for yet another sphere of work for the Y.M.C.A. The Tommies are interned in several places in snowy and smny Switzerland, and everywttere some- thing is being done for them by the Y M.C.A. At iT.rrren, the grOUT) (t floor of one of the hotels has been taken over 1 temporarily and utilised for our purposes. Soon, however, there will be a separate hut Uy particular work, for the present, however, is at a place called Lcysm, perched near the top of a mountain, en- tirely cut off from the world Mid only reached by a steon mountain railway (very like the Snowdcn .Mountaiji Railway in V/al?s) fr?m Aigle. a small township near tl  '1 L-Ö (f "}(' ,,?,ik?- cf Geneva.

And it is just hery that tiie Y.M.C.A. has stepped iII it has tilled that gap; it has applied the missing something." and that some- thing is a little bit of English home-lite and atmosphere, that atmosphere which mark's the difference between a good lodg- ing and home. What this means in one's owu country is known to the majority of people; what it means in normal timrs in a foreign country to a few; but what j it means in times and circumstances like the present can unly be appreciated hy those on 11113 spüt, It was this Hag, this aspect of Y.M.C.A. activity, then, that was first planted here, and it is gratify- ing to receive almost daily, not only from the Tommies" themselves, but also from the Swiss authorities, expressions of appreciation and testimonies to the bene- ficial effects wliieh our coming has had on the men in both a physical and moral sense « THE OPENING. A worn aoout our opening day. Every soldier certified fit to be out of doors turned up, as well as the British officers and representatives of the French and Swiss military authorities. We also invited all the English-speaking visitors and residents, and these turned up in en- couraging numbers. What an afternoon we had! It must be remembered first of all that the great majority of these men were members of the original Expedi- tionary Force—the wounded and captured of Moris and the first Battle of Ypres. and therefore were without knowledge of the work of the Y.M.C.A. with the troops. Moreover they had been pris- oners of war since October 1914. What they had heard of hymn singing or ser- a d f or sez-- vices was, therefore, practically nil; add to this the proverbial shyness of the pro- fessional soldier to anything public in the religious line," and you have an ideif of the atmosphere at that opening ceremony. However, we start with a hymn, O • God our Help in Ages Past." How thos:" lads sang that grand old liyl-ni, In Ages Past .cemed to mean to fhem but the horrible two years they had spent in enemy hands. Looking at the faces of the lads as they sang, one imagined pass- ing through their minds the memory of the horrors they had recently undergone. They :-at down and seemed in their im- agination to compare the life In Ages Past" with their present; now added to with the crowning item" of the open- ing of what the Swiss authorities have afhoially named Foyer des Soldats Ang- lais (The Home of the English Soldiers). NOW THANK WE While thi.s comparison of past and pre- r.-nt; tilled their minds, they were on their .eel; again, and with thrilling effect the hymn Nov,- 'Thank We All Our God pcyled forth. What a wonderful effect, what a story it ail revealed to the keen onlooirer. And talks with the 1110U siuee have shown how abundantly these men had cause to Thank We All Our God." A few words of greetings from the home land and from troops over seas, with the benediction from the resident English minister closed the proceedings." Every day the men attend in encouraging numbers and show much appreciation and enthusiasm in whatever has been ar- ranged tor them. Behind the counter we have a Scottish lady from Wallsall, who from almost the outbreak of war has given her services gratis to the Y.M.C.A. and ha.; worked in France as well as in England. She is a perfect iiiot lier to the boys; she ecoks and serves everything in the good old" home" style, and those .who have been fed on continental dishes for any length of time know how to ap- preciate this.

Scarred and bruised through th0 bru- htlity of the Germans during 11 months' incarceration in an enemy coiicfnt-,ati,c,??l' • tamp, Private Walter Bourne, a St. Thomas boy, has returned to his home discharged from the Army with a sad L-tory of ilun barbarity and cruelty. Up to a week ago he was one of the dis- charged warriors in the Three Cheers "J revue at Swansea this week, but 60 greatiy has the camp confinement af- fected hh health that he has been com- pelled to take a rest. He is a member of j oii6 of those patriotic families doing so much to help the country, for his six brorhers arc in the Army. His grand- ituer, oy tne way, a Crimean veteran. He was one of the original Expedition- c,rig -iiia l ary Force to land in France, and took nart in tho memor- able retreat from Mons. I escaped ->fely," he told one ot our reporters, rrom the fearful fighting and hard- ships of these early days of war, but whilst at Neuve Chapelle on October 27th, 1914, was un- fortunate to fall into the hands of the Germans. ROBBED DY THE HUNS; In the bitterly cold weather the Huns took away our great coats, rifled our pockets, and took us to a place called Wan. near Cologne. The journey in the biting cold stands ë:1\ a hideous dream, and we were huddled up in cattle trucks like pigs. When we got to our destina- tion we were fed with black bread and t i r?ll we f(?( i iv i water, and were placed in tents of 500 each. The sanitation was very bad. and sickness prevailed everywhere." Bourne spoke of the vindictiveness of the Germans, and related incidents of how the British soldiers who complained were kicked and beaten. Ho was cruelly attacked on one occasion, he said, and was 6 ) badly kicked by a German camp atten- dant that his body was a mass of Bcars and bruises, and his health completely broken down. In spite of his weakness he worked on the land with pick and shovel for 12 hours a day. The food was so bad that it was impossible for it to be eaten, and they had to rely upon the parcels from home. At one time the Germane eiiarg?d for the parcels, but through the intervention of two American gentlemen the goods were allowed to come free. NOT ALLOWED TO SHAVE. Whilst in hospital for six months he was not allowed to shave, and washing wa-3 a very rare proced ure. "The Ger- mans did all they could to make our liveg unhappy," he concluded, and in, parting he emphasised that the Germans were bullies and cowards."
