At the very outbreak out-break of the war Sergeant Wells, then a reporter on one of Vancouver's dailies, enlisted and took the course for non-commissioned officers, preferring prefer-ring that to going in for a commission, commis-sion, because he was "surer of getting there, and getting there quickly" as an N. C. 0. He certainly got there in record time, his battalion being the seventh from British Columbia, and pretty nearly everybody in Canada has hearl how ho kept right on at Ypres, leading his men to retake a captured trench, after his arm had been shattered shat-tered by a German shell. His officers being wounded, he was left in command com-mand of a company and fought on despite de-spite his mangled arm, until another bullet brought merciful unconsciousness. unconscious-ness.

Tho roar of the battle, as I had last heard it, returned to me but there were no guns to "bo heard now, and I . hesitated before opening my eyes. There seemed to be a weight on me and soon I found that there was! I was on the bottom of a pile of seven wounded men, on an open cart, and my first sight of German soil was accompanied by a shower of stones from a group of angry German women, who were following and tormenting tor-menting the wounded Canadian and English prisoners on their way to the hospital prison. Soon some of us were put on other trucks, and progress became be-came more comfortable After the transfer, I found myself beside a Manitoba Mani-toba boy I wish I could remember his name. The crowds on the streets cursed us in many ways, none understandable, under-standable, but with the intent very certain. One old German grow quito excited as our cart halted outside a beer garden. He had a big stein In his hand, and after saying many things, he threw the beer-stein and contents at us. The beer went all over my partner, who in delight, and between attempts to sop some up in his hand, hand, called, "Hooray, Dutchy, do it again !

The new Kolb and, Dill play breaks all records for the number of comedy situations that pro- fusely punctuate its three rib-tickling acts and gives tho two famous fun makers an abundance of opportunities for the manufacture of mirth. A supporting sup-porting company of rare talent, a beauty chorus that can really sing, bright costumes, sumptuous staging and an especially engaged "surprise" orchestra, all go to make the Kolb and Dill production an offering of both artistic ar-tistic and mirthful appeal. "The High Cost of Loving" is to come to tho Orpheum Or-pheum theater for three days, beginning begin-ning Sunday. October 2S.
