Insurances effected on Thursday against aircraft damage in London totalled £1,000,000.

A lieutenant in the Guards writes:— "The Germans have a dodge of keeping us awake. They drive cattle to graze in the danger zone, so as to alarm us. The sentries the other day managed to entice three bullocks into our lines, making a red-letter day with fresh roast beef. My shirt was washed to-day for the first time since I left England."

A nurse, in .describing her experiences, says she is being whisked to various parts of the front. There is no time to change her clothes. She carries a blanket,, mackintosh, comb, and sponge, and lias acquired the habit of sleeping in the mackintosh instead of a nightdress.
