thing to speak Of. There Is no doubt
that on certain occasions both sides
have refused to take any prisoners, but
I would not care to place the responsl.
bility Of the beginning Of the practice
in any one particular place.
There is no doubt Of the fact that the
Germans hate and fear the Canadians
A peculiar thing happened soon after
the Canadians so distinguished them
selves. A certain English regiment
received orders to take some trenches
at a given time. The officers OF this
regiment had the men fix their bayo-
nets and stick them over the parapet
of the trench several minutes before
the attack was to be made. They did
so and kept clashing their bayonets
one against another and making IN
awful row generally.
When the whistle blew young sub
altern was the first man over the para
pet, and he yelled at the top OF biz
voice. "Come on, CanadiansP
This got the Germans goat and our
, fellows took three lines Of trenches
without losing a man. All OF which
goes to show that the Germans. while
they may hate the Canadians, fear
them also.
There was considerable hand to hand
lighting on the dead ground between
the two lines Of trenches. A bomb
landed In our trench and lay there with
the fuse sputtering. Quick as a
thought big, burly Welshman picked
It up and threw 1t back over the para
pet.
It hit a German officer right In tie
small of the back just as 1t exploded
OF course 1t spread him all over the
landscape.
One of our officers turned to this big
Welshman and shouted: "Man alive, do
you know what you've done? Why.
you deserve the Victoria cross for
thatw To which the Welshman replied
rather sourly: AYE. sir. mebbe 80
Anyhow, I'd rather have the Victoria
cross than one o. those wooden unsP'

into the position Just in front Of the
Germans. The kaiser's troops had ad.
vanced about two miles, but had stop.
ped at the last trench Of our first line
Of defense There were no more
trenches for four miles.
The troops who had retired were or
dered into rest camp when We took
the position over. 90 we had to 60 In
and hold until the Canadians came up.
The Germans made no attempt to ad-
vance any farther, and We certainly
were In no position to quarrel with
them Just then. We waited there al
night and Just before dawn the Ca
nadians arrived. They didn't stop for
anything and went right over the top
Of Us and at the Germans. We acted
as supports for them during this en-.
gagement, and 1t was treat to see
the way they went after them.
Trench after trench they took with
out any letup. The Germans contest
ed every inch Of the ground, but moth
ing could stop the Maple Leaf boys
that morning. When the Germans wait
ed long enough for the lighting to come
to close quarters the Canadians were
right there with the cold steel, and
when the Germans kept their distance
those boys showed that they know
which end Of q rifle the bullet comes
from.
The Canadians had advanced about
q mile In this way when the Germans
brought up some re endorsements and
Immediately started to counterattack.
They drove US back few hundred
yards, but we made a stand, and after
the eGge had worn or the German at
tack we commenced to advance again.
This time there was no denying the
Canadians, and they went right
through until they had retaken all the
ground that had been lost. They also
recovered four guns which the Ger.
mans had captured.
As nearly as can tell, It was at this
time that the reports began to fly
around that no prisoners were being
taken. This Is an extremely difficult
