A SOLDIER’S DREAM.

An officer “somewhere in France” semis the Westminster Gazette the following account of a dream he dreamed recently:—l was out here one afternoon when a terrilie. snowstorm came on quite suddenly. The Hakes were an enormous size, and not quite white. They came down so thickly that the sky, which was blue and sunny at the beginning, soon got dimmed, and the snow was up to my hoot tops. It came down thicker and thicker, and soon it was uj) to the horses’ traces, and waggons were axle deep. All footpaths and tracks were blotted out by now, and I could sec it gradually blotting out everything! Camps, horses, guns, men. . . . And then I realised quite suddenly that it wasn’t a proper kind of snow at all (just like ‘R.L.E’s,’ dog, canny about it). And 1 knew it was Boehe poison snow. . . There it ended, and 1 woke screaming—for this is quite true. But what a line futuristic effort in Olalla. There was something un-in-hate for H. G. Wells?”
