What room have they for sorrowing
While fairy minstrels sit and sing
Close to their listening heart?

Extract from a French account of the tanks in action in the battle for
Cambrai:--

"Les chars d'assaut curent aussi leur cri de guerre. Peu avant
l'attaque, le long de leur ligne courut un message répétant, en
le modifiant légèrement, celui de Nelson à Trafalgar:

"'L'Angleterre compte que chaque tank fera aujourd'hui son devoir
sacré.'"--_Havas_.

We had often wondered what the French was for "Do your damnedest!" Now
we know.

CAPTAIN BROWN, HOME ON LEAVE AND VERY WAR-WEARY, DECIDES THAT AT ALL
COSTS HE WILL SPEND AN EVENING WHERE KHAKI IS NOT.

HE HAS PLEASANT RECOLLECTIONS OF A VISIT, IN TIMES OF PEACE, TO A
DELIGHTFUL BOHEMIAN CLUB OF WHICH ROBINSON WAS A MEMBER.
