A CANADIAN SING-SONG.
The Presence of a piano does not give very much of a drawing-room appearance to the scene in our picture, and it is perhaps not necessary to explain that the soldiers who are spending a musical hour are Canadians. The Salvationist who claps his hands vigorously to keep time with the music, is clearly enjoying himself as much as anybody.
PREPARING FOR THE SPRING.
France and England are both making strenuous efforts for the fighting which lies before them in the spring. From all parts of the world Reservists have been flocking back to "la Patrie" to have their share in the war. Some of the newly-joined French Reservists are shown in our picture being trained in the use of the rifle.
