BRITISH GENERAL DESCRIBES THE
CONDUCT OF CANADIAN SOLDIERS

as yet the slightest idea Of this last
damnable effort on the part of the Ger
mans to disregard all laws of human
ity and civilization.
II have seen our men in hospital
after having been brought back from
the trenches. There is no need to ask
for the ward in which they are, as
their grooming is quite sufficient a
direction Of itself. In one ward there
are eighteen cases. They are all sit
ting bolt upright, or swaying back
and forwards, gasping for breath,
their faces, hands and necks shiny
grey-black color, their eyes glazed,
and unable absolutely to speak or
feed.
1T takes two days for these men to
die. During these two days they are
in the most acute agony, and if by the
slightest chance they recover from
the poison they will in all probability
be rendered useless for life, as the ef-
feet of the gas is to turn all the tissues
Of the lung into liquid. The doctors
and nurses are working day and night
in the attempt to give some relief.
But there is nothing to be done: It is
the most hopeless, helpless, sickening
sight imaginable. Our Medical Officer,
who has had a very large experience
of the habits of African and Asiatic
natives tells US that in all his life he
has never had to deal with such an
example of scientific torture.
Disbelieved Stories.
AT first was inclined to disbelieve
the accounts of the illtreatment of our
prisoners at the hands of the enemy
and to put them down to the newt
able exaggerations Of warfare, but
now that I have come face to face
with German methods in the field, my
opinions have undergone gradual but
permanent change"
General Stuart Wortley was former
ly on terms Of considerable intimacy
with Emperor William of Germany.
A few summers ago when the En-
peror was ordered by his physicians
to spend some weeks at the English
seashore, the General placed his coun-
try seat on the Hampshire coast, at
the Emperor's disposal.
