THE CANADIAN TROOPS
READY FOR TRENCHES
TIE DOMINION NpLI NTEERS
COMPLETE SEASON OF
DRILLING.
They Are Now Ready to Re Assigned
to Service Along by the
side of Veteran
Troopers.
BY William G.. Shepherd.

United Press staff Correspondent
Calais, Feb. 19.-The Canadians
are ready for the trenches.
They are camped. in part, near a
little lake in France and they are
finding that the weather of that
country is far more comfortable than
the rains and mud Of England.
Salisbury was as wet as the trenches.
The passenger who tries to alight
from a train at the little railroad
station of the town near which the
Canadians are tenting will be put
back ON the same train by a Ca
radian Tommy and sent on his way
The Tommy's explanation will be,
you've got to beat it, because it's
orders"
The English Officers and soldiers
never cease in their wonderment
over the Canadian brothers. In Lon
don it was tho Canadian chop suey
aaze that puzzled the English
There's only one chop suey restau-
rant in London and it caters almost
entirely to Chinese students; the
English have never discovered the
beauties of chop suey. But there
! is scarcely town iii Canada that
does not boast of its chop suey res
taurants and it was only natural
for the Canadians to seek out chop
suey place in London. They found
| it at Picadilly circus and thereafter
the Chinese students were crowd
cd out by Canadian soldiers and Of
ficers. English officers who We're
! inveiglcd into trying chop suey din
ners with their Canadian brothers
only said, Most extraordinary
end declined to eat. Soon the fame
of the Canadians as chop suey eaters
spread throughout the British army
and the general military comment
was, Most remarkable fellows"
But, if the English were surprised
at the chop suey hunger IN London,
! they are now even more surprised
at the football game which the Ca
lnadians play on the banks of their
little lake in France. It's the Ameri-
can game of push and souge and
| the English officers look In bewilder-
lment AS two Canadian elevens strus-
gled through the mud toward the
goals. The English game of soc

can form of the game, as played by
Canadians, that the English soldiers

Compared with the destruction done
by that war, the waste OF this war Is
nothing. We are not justified in think

what Admiral Mahan, just before his

Il have no quarrel with any method
that will minimize the occurrences OF
war, but have much quarrel with the
charlatanism that ignores facts and
bases statements as confident as they
are absurd upon Misrepresentation.

generation-the suf-
fering and social disturbance attend
ing this war will disincline people to
renewal. But the grass will grow
over the graves, the troubles be part

tense will cause new wars until the
spirit of men undergo change. The
human heart, acting upon sentiments
and interests, is the cause Of war; no

Waste.


Chicago Tribune: We are apt to

assumption that this Is the most
wasteful war the world ever knew and
that the cost of it will be enough to
keep nations at peace forever more.
This is to be the last war because it
is the most destructive war
Considering the destruction of cap
ital and the loss of life without rela-
ton to any other facts it is the most
wasteful war, but the world is better
able to stand 1t, better organized for
and against 1t, and, consequently, is
likely to emerge from it less disturb
ed than would seem possible
With comparisons and proportions
kept in mind, the hope that this war
will be preventive becomes illusory.

the time was so short between the

of hostilities that the Hessians of the

their batteries into action, particularly
in Germany, where early appreciation
OF the overwhelming magnitude of the
danger added sobriety to their first

By and large, the press was as much
surprised by the suddenness with.
which the tornado burst as anyone
else. There was no time given prior
to hostilities for the mobilization of
and scouts. Veteran
war reporters, usually able to scent
trouble from afar, and ready for the
first shots, were unprepared and far
from the scene of action. The par

more difficult to reach the front, and
