r One hears constantly odds and ends of curious incidents connected with tho Allied advance which one has no time to tell at the moment as not bearing on the main current of events.

It was, and 1 the said so. "Yes," ' said the German, "we were shoo tinjx big game together in British Columbia in such and such a year." Another similar instance seems to have occurred with the Americans, where a F 1311 .. took prisoner a German with whom he _had been class-mate ih a German, university before the war. _
