In its own nature it is just as advantageous as any other, though, perhaps, somewhat more liable to be abused. The employment of a brewer, and even that of a retailer of fermented liquors, are as necessary division's of labour as any other.

Tennant demanding that at least the Division's deficiency should at once be made up, by giving to us the full product of one or two weeks' recruiting in Ireland. Nothing of the kind was done to meet his request.

Where their line was running he could not determine. He knew if the Americans saw his column of German uniforms they were in danger captors and captives alike of being annihilated. At any moment the Germans from the two hilltops down the valley to check the Eighty-Second Division's advance might lay a belt of bullets across the course they traveled.

"As far as can be gathered, the situation is this: The Boche got through in force on our left and the th Division gave way. That bared our own Division's left flank, and is the reason why the rd Brigade had such a bad time and lost so many guns. The enemy is still coming on; and he's doing too well, also against the th Division on our right.

On the 24th demonstrations were made against Beitunia to support the left of the 52nd Division's attack on El Jib, but the enemy was too strong to permit of the yeomanry proceeding more than two miles east of Foka. The roadmakers had done an enormous amount of navvy work on the track between Foka and Tahta.

A general, for example, uniformed and in the saddle, advancing through the streets with his staff in the proud wake of his division's massed walls of bayonets, cannot be imagined as quailing at the glance thrown at him by his tailor on the sidewalk.

The Division's most bitter struggle was about the Beth-horons, on the very scene where Joshua, on a lengthened day, threw the Canaanites off the Shephelah. The Yeomanry Mounted Division received orders on the afternoon of November 17 to move across Ajalon into the foothills and to press forward straight on Bireh as rapidly as possible. Their trials they began immediately.

"MacNutt, the wire tapper, is one of them!" "And you would like us to get after MacNutt?" "Yes, I would!" "On the charge of wire tapping?" "That should be one of them!" "Then I can only refer you to the decision of the Court of Appeals in the McCord case, and the Appellate Division's reversal of the 'green-goods' conviction of 1900!

The top of the bus was crowded, and we talked "shop" together. Sixth Division's having a pretty cushy time, what? So you were at Mons! I suppose there's no chance of our missing the boat. Yes, it was a pretty fair scrap Smith? He's gone. Silly fool, wanted to have a look round Full of buck? Rather! Yes, heard there's a pretty good show on at the Frivolity Beastly cold on top of this old wheezer.

Monty said that he hadn't the slightest idea, but imagined it was the business of Headquarters to have some notion of a division's whereabouts. "East Cheshire Division? Let me see," muttered the M.L.O., chewing his pencil. We let him see, with the satisfactory result that he brightened up and said: "Ah, yes. They're at Suvla, I think." "How nice!" commented Monty. It seemed a suitable remark.
