A letter like that from Galipoli which appears in the
Gateway today gives a clearer conception ot the war than
all tlie official bulletins published. A man right on the
spot just speaks naturally when writing to an intimate
friend. Unconsciously he shows the world the eagerness
of the poor troops to hear by mail from home. He pictures
without artificial effort the attempts to be comfortable.
He shows how one might lose himsell in the night at the
front and go by mistake into another camp. All this is
the human touch which the censorship prevents us Horn
feeling most of the time. W hat a glorious hook can Ik*
compiled by the historian of the future from such letters.
During the trial of Orpet for the murder of Marian
Lambert the prisoner was accused of having said that
girls of humble birth like her are always fluttered by the
attentions of college men. Orpet denied this but it is
verv much like the opinion which a drivelling brat ot bis
kind might entertain. Of all the nauseating types of
Youthful humanity the conscious '‘college man is su
»■ *
prente. Fellows go for periods to some so-called univers
ity or college and for no other purpose than that they
might call themselves college men. The shorter the period
of their stay in such a place the greater is their desire to
have it known that they are “college men.’ Colleges of
the proper kind make it a special etlort to knock such
cheap snobbery out of their pupils and the higher the uni
versity the less will be the proneness of its pupils to blath
er about their college experience. They learn enough to
know when to shut up. Colleges send out a greater number
of fools than reformatories or sanitariums. And the silly
girls who are said to be flattered by their attentions are
the same kind that fall for brass buttons on the coats of
goose stepping idiots. No one would ever hear of Abra
ham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, William
Shakespeare or many others boast of being college men
because they were not, and no one would hear Carlyle,
Gladstone, Balfour, Newman, Moore, Byron, Longfellow,
William Dean Howells and others boast of being college
men because they find no necessity for doing so. Re
member, that the boast of being a college man means noth
ing more or less than an effort to make up for your own
shortcomings by showing your brief or prolonged con
nection with a seat of learning, just as the humblest are
most prone to boast of rich relatives. When you boast of
connection with any institution or person you thereby ad
mit your inferiority to it or him. Lise, why the boast? If
it or he is not superior you would never boast.

as my turn will come no doubt, j
l believe this is the worst time of the
year for the climate here as there are
any amount of germs flying about.
The new C. 0. is doing all right and
is very popular with everybody. Hei
is most enthusiastic about having
everything correct and the men*
smartly dressed, etc. The men are
playing up to him splendidly and 1
think he is very pleased with them.
1 expect a lot of changes here soon
but will tell you about them after
they come off. Well, George the
mail has just come in. There is a
letter from you also one from Carrie
with some cigarettes, a Telegraph,
and one Kveiling Dispatch. There is
no parcel. The Dun's consignment
has not arrived so probably my par
cel may be in it. 1 think there must
be some more letters to come too.
Well, 1 was very glad to get your long
newsy letter and to hear you were all
right at home. 1 am very much sur
prised to hear about my motor bicycle.
I think Jack Drown has behaved very
badly as he promised to see it sent
safely to you. 1 think you should
send Sandy through for it if he
doesn't come soon. 1 am glad to see
tleorge Dun’t promotion in the pap
ers. I don’t think lie hud heard about
it before. He is really awfully decent
to us and we couldn’t wish for a bet-!
ter captain. Probably we shall see
Johnnie and the whole crowd out here
again in a short time. Evidently he
can’t have been as bad as they
thought. i don’t think Aliek Eair-j
grieve will ever come out again as 1
believe they never send dysentery!
cases back here. I do hope Sandy
Lindsay continues to improve. Do
you think he will ever be married? 1
see you refer to the Australian
troops. Well, there is no doubt that
they are the finest fighters in the
world. I suppose their dash is simply
marvelous and when they were on this
front they were right up at the top o£
Aehi Baba but had to come back be
cause they never got support. There
is no one can realize what a terrible
task the landing was here and also
at the new landing. It is just like
landing at Spittal beach and advanc-j
ing up the dirt’s. The dirt’s were'
simply moving with machine guns and
the barbed wire was awful. If we had
-three times the number of men and!
guns 1 believe this part of the situa-i
tion would have been solved long ago.
There is no doubt about it that we
have underestimated the Turks and
their resources, i am glad to hear
you are keeping fairly busy. Jenny
seems to be doing splendidly and l
hope she will be able to stick it all
winter. I am glad to se thi swim-1
ming baths have been opened and only
wish l were at home to take advant

every day this week and enjoyed it
thoroughly. There is a pipe band

this open until the morning to see if
there is no more mail. Well, (leorgc I
there is no more mail ir, so 1 am

“The Australian who visited us two
weeks ago said they were on the top
of a hill (but not Achi Baba) which j
commanded u good position and held
it for four days, but as no reinforce
ments came they had to retire with
great loss of life. I think this is what
Malcom must refer to.
