SAYS ]. S. IS NEEDED TO WIN
BRIGADIER McRAE, FRESH From
FRONT, SEES NO EARLY END
OF TIE WAR

Minneapolis Journal (3): America 3
entrance into the world war is neces-
sity if the expected victory Of the al
lied nations materializes, Brigadier
General A. D. McRae, x. G., quarter
master general Of the Canadian exPe-
dictionary forces in France, said in
Minneapolis yesterday.
General McRae visited George F..
Howe, zoos Blaisdel avenue, on his
way from Vancouver, left last night
for Winnipeg. He will return to France
in three weeks.
General McRae left the European
fighting front one month ago on leave
of absence.
The Canadian commander said that
in his opinion Americas strength will
suffice to crush the German autocracy.
For more than two years, General
McRae has participated in the fierce
fighting on the French front. When he
left Canada he was lieutenant colonel
in charge Of supply transportation and
has been promoted twice, his advance
to the grade of brigadier general car
ryinQ with it his elevation to knight
hood in the Order Of the Bath.
ttAmerica's entrance into the war
was necessary in the ultimate victory, =
said General McRae, "and, knowing
America as I do, I believe you Ameri-
cans are going to surprise the Germans,
particularly in the air service.
eff you can put 10000 aeroplanes
on the western front within the next
10 months and prepare to carry on the
same warfare as the Germans are car
Tying on over London, think you can
win the war in another year.
ct see no reason why the war should
be ended within IL months, and 1 don t
think it will end until America gets to
be an important factor On tia western
front.

face 1t would have moved any one
to tears to have seen how Friday
kissed him, embraced him, and
then sang and jumped about again
like a distracted creature.
1t was a good while before I
could make him tell what was the
matter; but when he came a little
to himself, he told me that il was
his father.
This put an end to our pursuit
OF the canoe with the other saw
ages. who were now gotten almost
out of sight.
then spoke to the Spaniard to
let Friday help him to the boat.
Friday took the Spaniard quite up
upon his back and carried him
away to the boat, and set him close
to his father, and presently STEP
ping out again, launched the boat
off, and padded it along the shore.
So he brought them both safe
into our creek. But they wero
neither of them able to walk.
To remedy this / made a kind
of hand-barrow to lay them on,
and Friday and / carried them up,
both together upon 1t between us.
Then Friday and / made very,
handsome tent, covered with old
sails, and above that with boughs
of trees, being in the space without
our outward fence, and between
that and the grove of young wood
which had planted.
AS soon as had secured my two
weak rescued prisoners, and given
them shelter and a place to rest
them, | began to think of MAKING
some provision for them.
| set Friday to inquire OF his
father what he thought of the es-
cape of the savages in that canoe,
and whether we might expect a re-
turn. But it was his opinion that
they were so dreadfully frightened
with the noise and the fire, that
they would not dare return.

Then l took four muskets, and
loaded them with two slugs and
five small bullets each; and my
two pistols | loaded with a brace
of bullets each. | hung my great
sword, as usual, naked by my side,
and gave Friday his Ratchet.
When | had thus prepared my
self, l took my perspective-glass,
and went up the hill to see what
/ could discover. And | found
quickly that there we're one-and-
twenty savages, three prisoners,
and three canoes, and that their
whole business seemed to be the
triumphant banquet upon these
three human bodies.
/ divided the arms which | had
charged, between us. | gave Fri
day one pistol to stick in his
girdle, and three guns upon his
shoulder; and | charged him to
keep close behind me, and not to
stir, or shoot, or do anything till
/ babe him, and in the meantime
not to speak a word.
In this posture l got into the
wood, so that / might come within
shot of them before | should be
discovered.
Here | called softly to Friday,
and showed him great tree,
which was just at the corner of
the wood. l babe him go to the
tree and bring me word If he could
see there plainly what they were
doing.
He did so, and told me they
were all about their fire, eating
the flesh of one of their prisoners;
and that another lay bound upon
the sand, one of the men whom he
had told me of, that came to their
country in the boat.
| was filled with horror al the
very naming of the white man,
and going to the tree ] saw plain
ly by my glass white man who
lay upon the beach, with his hands
and his feet tied with rushes, and
that he was an European, and had
clothes on.
| had not a moment to lose. for
nineteen of the dreadful wretches
sat upon the ground. all close hud-
died together, and had just sent
the other two to butcher the poor
Christian.
Now, Friday" says I. edo ex-
actly as you see me do; fail in
nothing"
SO I set down one of the mus
kets and the fowling-piece upon
the ground, and Friday did the
like by his: and with the other

ages, bidding him do the like.
