General Sir Sam Hughes, Canadian Minister of Militia and Defense, is not jealous of Foghorn's distinction. The rawest rookie in the_rearmost ranks. of the Dominion forces proclaims lt on the fighting line, and' looks up to this world~wanderlng Scion of the clan McDonald as a shining example of what n lowly "buck" can do ln- trying times like these. For Foghorn camo over as a private 7111115011' limi Iwo short years ago. Some of 'his homo-folks told him he was n “darned old fool" to enlist at 53. But Foghorn had been a miner all his days. He had hit the Western trail from sun-baked Batopilas in the wilds of Mexico to the snow-shrouded valleys o fthe Yukon, and he knew what perseverance and pluck and courage and sacrifice could do. He knew he could "make the d his friends who gathered a day or two ago to "wet" that new thlr stripe and crown on the 'cuffs of his khaki army jacket. He was back from the front to receive this latest promo- tion. and he was toasted a major of His Majesty's forces. _ Foghorn was born Nell Roderick Mc- Donald, but there are comparatively few who know him by that distin- guished name. lt’s just plain Fog- horn nowadays from one end of the trenches to the other, and one earful of that low- rumbling. window-shab terlnxgrock-shivering voice explodes all po iblo doubt as to the derivation of the nickname. There are plenty of Germans who know Foghorn, too. In the days nf the deathly deadlock, when trenches crept close-r and closer together, he was one of thosi who burrowcd be- neath the earth and set off great mines under the enemy . He had not been_a mining engineer in vain. Often his voice would go booming across "No Man’s Land” hurling pic- turesque invective at the Germans. Not to know Foghorn McDonald is to miss one of the big human per- sonalities of this war. It is not couragement and strength he is to the soldiers at the front. "He is the sort of officer whose men would follow him to the gates of hell itself and walk in laughing," de- clared Msjor Eddie Holland. a long- time friend and a " V. C.” of the South African war. "And speaking of hell," he added, “there may or may not he something _in the fact that Fog- horn belongs to the Black Devlls.” That is the name the Germans have given the Eighth Battalion, Cal nadian lnfantry and the battalion has adopted as its insignia a small black imp dancing in glee. They were de- lighted with the uppellation. and are living up to it according to all reports from the Somme. It has been solo' of Foghorn that “he's not afraid of any man-and very few women." His home is in the great American West. He has lived much in the United States and almost every province in Canada can claim him as her own. His heart is as big as the world in which he has lived; and he has a way of calling a supe- rior oillcer Bill or Jim or George, and referring to a corporal as a brother oiilcer that is quite baffling to the Englishman’s ideas of discipline. Someone spoke to Fog about it. "Well slr." he explained, "it’s a man's,war, by God sir. and I respect every mother's son who’s out there doing his bit. I was a. full-fledged ‘buck myself once. and I know what they have to go through." ' Foghorn has been serving for some time as transport oillcer of the Black Devils and' has been riding about the front lines on what he de- sc`i‘ibes hlm_self ns a mighty nm. boss. Where he got tip horse he will not tell you. "lt wouldn't be passed by the censor." he says. A good transport oillcer tries to keep his losses at e minimum and to make the deficiencies good as quickly as he can. Foghorn had his men in the Black Devils trained to the minute in that respect. "gm, night,” he said, "we were tak- ing some loads nf ammunition away up in front. it was blocker than the ace of spades and if you struck '\ match you'd get your' eye shot out. But in the midst of all this blackness and the shelling we were getting I heard one of my U10" My 1° hi! partner: ‘Keep your eye out for e good hose, Bill; this ought to be e good nlsht to 59|- 039-" ' Foghern served for a time as an olllcer in the United States Army- the ‘third Volunteer Cavalry of the Spanish war. _ “I think the olllcer commanding our regiment had fifteen or twenty million dollars," said F0ll10mi "Y The next sailing from Char- lottetown for -Boston will be on Friday November 3rd. _ JAS.

De you remrfihel' me?"’ “R_emer'\oer you?" repeated Fog. "Why, bless your brass-hattod old soul. l'd know your hide in a tan- yard." A "brass hat" ls the army name for course from. the rlrnndance of gold braid they wear on their caps. Someone asked how things were go- ing nt the front. "Golng?’ said Fog; "why the boys are getting so gay out there one of our battalions came parading up to the front line trenches the other day-with n brass band playing for all lt was worth. They were right where you could get killed any minute, too, and even my old hose thought they were crazy. Guess I'll be getting back to the front soon myself,” 'he concluded with xl sigh; "this quiet life of London is getting on my nerves."
