In a characteristic letter a "hardl doer'' at tho front writes under date November lltli. "Well, tho long-wait-ed-for day has arrived at last, and tho eld Hun lias come a cropper. We rel ceived the good news this morning, and what with sirens and whistles blowing, 1 flags waring, bolls ringingj bands placing, you would, think the whole world had gone mad, and one could hardly blame them. Well, for a wonder, I never went out to-day, and never even liad one glass of beer 'to celebrate ther event. I hope the recording angel has duly entered it in my favour, because heaven knows I want a lot- of those sort of things to balance past misdeeds. Still, only the good die young: my record is such that I am wire to live to be a hundred, Jor I have come through; all this without- a day's sickness and "without a scratch."
