STEPHEN JONES, PROP. Victoria, B.C.

yet seem to think they can have their own way. However I belive next week will see a new spirit start & our enemies made to remember they are enlisted soldiers of the King & forget their much boasted U.S.A. or get to out of here

There will be serious work ahead & men who look on this as a joke of who cary rancor in their heart are a great menace to others once we are facing the enemey. I appear to have made a good impression on our Luite who is a gentleman & very observing man & if I can keep my bunch in reasonable order without having to report men for disobedience I shall soon get my other stripe. I have been much tempted several times to say to hell with the stripe & to resent animosity with a bout of fisticuffs.
