A Years Record

Looking backward now over the year
that lies between the opening of the Battle
of the Somme and the close of the third
WIRES. we see certain facts. In that
period of time the British have taken up
ward of four hundred guns--a testimonial
more eloquent than the capture OF thirty
eight thousand prisoners at the Somme'
twenty thousand prisoners at Arras or
seven thousand prisoners at Ypres. Ihey
have driven the Germans back over a
front in places twenty miles deep. They
have mastered all the weapons which were
n German hands when the war began and
were unknown TO the civilian army OF
Britain. More than this, each successive
effort Of the British army has been techni-
ca,lv better in military sense, more effi-
lent and more successful than that which
,rsceded il. and each has shown newer
snd completer mastery of the conditions,
~. wes mons and the methods Of contcmpo-
rary warfare. a,..
such is the history Of year OF conflict
between the Briton and the Teuton. IL

,o show II. by an area Of reconquered ter

man lines and the rupture Of the German
front, which does not result in general
retreat, we shall totally misunderstood
what has taken place on the British front
and some day will be bewildered by what
does take place The British army has
demonstrated its superiority in all respects
over the German. The extent of this su-
periority has not yet led to a Leipzig, to
a Sedan, or to Waterloo, but it has led to
German defeats more destructive OF Ger
man confidence in the ranks than any
Napoleonic failure before Leipzig. The
invincibility of the German army has been
demonstrated to be legend by the new
army of Great Britain and her Dominions
in one short year, and believe firmly that
if the war continues with unchanged con-
ditions on the Western front for another
year we shall see German disaster COM
parable with that of Lee when he endeav-
ored to hold too long to his trenches before
Richmond. If the Germans again retreat
to escape such disaster the meaning will
still be unacceptable.

Triumph Of the New Army

In Bsitish history the third battle OF
Ypres will rank with the first. The first
was the success of little army lacking in
every mechanical weapon save only their
rifles, outnumbered, outgunned, three to
one. five to one. 1t was the story OF an
army which died on the spot, leaving few
survivors barely holding on. The third
Ypres was the triumph of new British
army. possessing all the material devices
Of modern warfare and possessing techni-
cal efficiency in their use. 1t possessed all
the qualities needed to demonstrate that
ENGLAND had arrived and passed her foe,
whose chief, three years before, had

Don't Bite the Hand That's Feeding You" "

Last night / lay a-sleeping
wonderful dream came to me.
saw Uncle Sammy weeping
For his children from over the sea-
They had come to him, friendless and starving
When from tyrants oppression they fled,
But they abuse and revie him,
Till at last in just anger he said:
(CHORUS)
"If you don't like your Uncle Sammy,
Then go back to your home Ger the sea,
To the land from where you came,
Whatever be its name,
But don't be ungrateful to me,
II you don't like the Stars in Old Glory,
II you don't like the Red, White and Blue,
Then don't act like the cur in the story,
Don't bite the hand that's feeding you"
You recall the day you landed
How I welcomed you to my shorer
When you came here empty handed,
And allegiance forever you swore'
| gathered you close to my bosom,
OF food and clothes you got both;
So, when in trouble, need you,
You will remember your oath:
