A Sandling Camp, England—They Real-

_ ize the Seriousness of Their
Approaching Work

An interesting letter has been
received from Pte. W. T. Sawle
who has been at Sandling Camp,
Hythe, Kent County, England,

Ba with the 18th battalion from Lon-
i don, Ont. since the 26th of April.
§ He states the Canadian second
me contingent is very comfortably
mea located at the above address,

7 Everything possible has been.

ga done to make things pleas-
@ ant for the men and to keep their

health good. The situation is al-
most ideal. Sandling lies among

we the hills of East Kent about two

miles from the sea and the air is

™ always fresh and bracing.

Each camp, and there are

scores within a few miles, in fact

me of huts.

all England is an armed camp, is
laid out like a little town in rows
A: hut houses half a
platoon, (30 men) and a company
occupies a row or street. Each

= street is named after a popular
me officer. There are separate shacks
ma for the wash houses, showers

and kitchens. These are all of

7 corrugated i iron with brick foun-

dations. There are twocanteens

io on the prounds, a ¥Y. M. C. A,
me tent, Salvation Army and C. of

} E. club houses.

The rest rooms
are a veritable haven of rest.

The loss.of the Lusitania is

. B keenly felt in England, but
me strange to say an air raid like the

one at Southend the other night,
which was practically harmless,

may seems to arouse the people more

than anything else, Asa matter

ae of fact these air raids are a joke.
Be The soldiers at the camp look for

hostile air craft with about as

much trepidation as they scan the.
skies for an approaching thunder
‘storm.

Germany is a long way from
being beaten. Sheis so strong

a so well fortified, that only by the

most tremendeus efforts on the

win, and it will take many, many
