On the Aisne a general told me the shrapnel smoke we saw two miles away on his right came from the English artillery, and that on his left five miles distant were the Canadians.

At that exact moment the English were at Havre and the Canadians were in Montreal.
In order to keep at the front, or near it, we were forced to make use of every kind of trick and expedient.

An English officer who was acting as a correspondent, and with whom for several weeks I shared the same automobile, had no credentials except an order permitting him to pass the policemen at the British War Office.

With this he made his way over half of France.

In the corner of the pass was the seal or coat of arms of the War Office.
