mo one has really any right to
tprophesy what the end Of the war will
be; but so far the battle has seemed
to be- in favor OF the artillery" said
DR.. wilfred Grenfell. in his lecture at
the United Church last evening. ;.
"The enormous number OF flying
machines which will be sent over from
this country will be an enormous fac
tor. There is no chance to starve
tho Germans out. Anything done in
this country to hinder the war is a
traitorous act and will make as naught
the sacrifice Of the lives of the men
in the past three years. Germany
must be beaten"
DR.. Grenfell was brought to this
city by the Mems club of the United
church and it's president, E. w. Fair
child, introduced him. There was a
very large audience present and a
goodIy collection taken which will
help the splendid work that DR.. Gren-
fell is doing in Labrador. He is sur
geon by profession and has worked
among the deep sea fishermen for 80
years. Last year he was at the front
with the Harvard Unit Hospital % IN
France.
= Recently he spoke at Camp Devens,
where there are SO many of our boys
and he mentioned in particular how
well the men looked. In the hall
where he made his address there were
5000 men in uniform and he said 1t
was most inspiring sight. He dwelt
on the splendid spirit of the men in
the trenches and said that where
there was so much suffering, such
hardships as had never been expert
enced in any war before, we might ex-
pect to find some grumbling, but that
there was nothing of the sort.
DR.. Grenfell emphasized the won
derful sanitary system that prevails;
the infinite precautions that are taken
to care for the health Of the men.
