TOLD BY RALPH CONNOR
Noted Author and Soldier Describes
First British Army.

Mai. Charles w. Gordon, of the Forty
third Cameron Highlanders, delivered the
final lecture OF the season before the
members of the National Geographic So
ciety in the New Masonic Auditorium
yesterday afternoon and evening.
Maj. Gordon. who in civil life is Ralph
Connor, novelist, OF Winnipeg, Canada,
Rock" has returned from France on a
brief furlough after having fought for
sixteen months in the trenches. He
spoke yesterday on Canada In the
War" and gave a vivid picture OF the
heroism and sacrifices Of the people Of
the neighboring Dominion.
within two weeks after the premier
of Canada announced that a contingent
of 5000 men would be sent to aid the
mother country IN her fight against ruth
less German autocracy, 10000 Canadians
had offered their. services and were beg
ging for the privilege of being included
in the first expeditionary force" said the
speaker Since that time the number
has greatly increased, and Canada has
pledged herself TO give 10000 men out of
total population OF 10000 q.
Mai. Gordon related in glowing terms
what the entrance of America into the
war meant TO the men in the trenches. He
drew a graphic picture of the scene when
the news of President Wilson'S address
before Congress reached the men in the
firing line. -
In speaking OF unpreparedness Maj.
Gordon related Great Britain's sad plight,
having mere fragment of a regular
army at the beginning OF the struggle-a
contemplate little army" as the Ger
man Kaiser had called It, but gallant
fellows. who we shall never see again" /"
as Kitchener observed as the few thou
sand men marched in review before en-
barking for France and Immortality at
! the battle of Mons.
1t took England ten months to learn
how to prepare, declared the speaker, and
during that ten months her sons were
thrown before the German cannon in
Flanders. At the end of that time.
through the wonderful work of the depart
ment of munitions, through the co-opera-
ton OF the women of England, and the
loyal efforts OF labor. the armies were
supplied with the necessary heavy artil-
lery and an ample number of machine
guns.
Maj. Gordon was introduced by Gilbert
Fl. Grosvenor, director OF the National
Geographic Society
