To General Byng belongs the honor
OF planning and the carrying out Of
the unique stroke which netted such
big gains for the British.
When General Sir Henry Edmund
AIlenby was sent to Egypt last June
to take command of the army that
is now sweeping the Turks north
ward through Palestine, General
Byng succeeded him in command OF
the British third army on the Fran
front which is pressing
the present offensive. He had prev

manded the Ninth corps in the later
stages OF the ill-fated campaign.
The Canadians fought through the
battle Of the Somme under Byngs
command and were still his troops
when they effected their brilliant
capture Of Vimy Ridge in the battle
OF Arras last April.
General Byng, who is IS years OF
age, served in the SOudan campaign
in 1884 and won distinction in the
South African war, where he at
tanned the rank OF colonel. As a
cavalry commander he took part in
the Ypres retreat and in the second
battle of Ypres.

THE BRUTAL TRUTH

A community will sit around
and see a girl going to hell and
get a lot of fun out of her es-
capades. When the girl is no
longer going, but has finished
her journey, that same commun-
ity will throw up it's christian
(?) hands and murmur, "Oh,
isn't it just too bad?" You bet
it is too bad, too bad to be stood
for in community that holds
itself up as Christian. Some day
a lot of church members will be
shoveled into the land of horned
gentlemen with forked tails, and,
on asking why, will be told: "Not
because of the things you have
done, but because of the things
you have suffered to be DONE"
