Germans Hate and Fear Canadians.

Hate and Fear Canadians,
a BOUT the fifth or sixth night of
n the battle the Germans broke
through us and advanced nearly
a mile into our territory. They held
their gain about fourteen hours, when
we counterattacked and took it all back
again. OF course u advanced report
center retired as the Germans advanc-
ed. but l was down at the permanent
headquarters at the time, so l didn't
get any of the excitement OF the re-
tirement.
When we advanced again our road
lay over ground that had been in Ger
man hands during the few hours they
held the ground.
A dispatch rider was coming over
this road just as daylight dawned. Two
wounded Germans lay on the side Of
the road. and as the rider passed one
Of them called to him and asked for a
drink Of water. The rider stopped.
turned around and went back. threw
his water bottle TO them and then turn
ed around and started on again. As

struck part Of his motorcycle.
At the time this great battle was
raging the bOmbardment Of Ypres con
tinued, and not only Ypres alone, but
all the surrounding villages and the
roads leading from m to the other
also.
l said that at the beginning OF this
battle our corps Of dispatch riders num-
bered thirty-one in all. At the end Of
the engagement three weeks later there
we're only four of us left out Of the
original thirty-one who started.
The Germans failed to break us. and
so the kaiser kept his word regarding
the city Of Ypres. Day after day they
bombarded the place, so that now there
is lot one single house left standing.
For some reason the Germans contin-
ued to shell the place from time 70 time.
but they can't do any more damage
than what they have already done.
The end OF the battle found US with
our position still intact, and I don't
think they will ever come any nearer
to break through the British lines.

shell came through and laid the buffd-
ing to the ground.
All day Monday the Smelling cor-
tinued, and still no orders came for
US to move. Things were beginning 10
look serious now, and we wondered
how much longer we would have to
stick 1t out. It was the most unsat-
isfactOry duty one could imagine.
There we were doing absolutely moth
ing and the Germans throwing shell
after shell into US. We had no chance
to hit back, and there was nothing ex-
cept 10 stand by and take u chances
When the order did come TO move the
field cashier was the last one to be mott
fed, but even though we were the last
to get the order we were the first ones
out. and was happy to say goodby to
that place. We went about six kilo-
meters down the road and took over
temporary headquarters in a little VII
lage.
It was just after we moved down to
this village that 1 got the only scratch
l had during the whole campaign. I
was on the Dickebusch road with a
staff colonel. and we had been visiting
some regiments that were out Of action
at the time. While We we're there the
Germans started Smelling. and we de-
cided It would be better for US II we
moved to a healthier locality. Ths
colonel was sitting in the tonneau OF
the car, while 1. Of course. was in the
driving seat.
AS we swung out into the main road
we heard a she'll coming, and automat-
lcally l put on more speed. The shell
burst right on the side Of the road
One piece OF it flew through the bottom
Of the car and tore the foOtboard right
from under the c~Olonels feet. It didn't
bother him the least bit. He simply
swung his feet right up on to the seat
and advised me TO crowd on a little
more speed.
Another little piece of the shell graz
ed my right leg just above the knee.
1t was a mere scratch. but 1t scared
me as nothing ever has since, and 1
guess I thought my whole leg was
gone.
The same shell that came 50 close to
US caught another poor fellow and
wounded him in the back in twenty
nine different places, and with all this
he walked a quarter of a mile to a
dressing station.

There was considerable hand to hand
fighting on the dead ground between

landed in our trench and lay there with

it up and threw it back over the para

small Of the back just as 1t exploded.
OF course it spread him all over the

Every person may help win the var

chairman of the National War Savings
committee, declared IN Chicago We'd
nesday night in addressing a meeting
OF the Illinois Manufacturers ~associa-

This war savings campaign is
something that will, I believe, make
a great impression on the character
OF the country by teaching the lesson
OF thrift" Mr.. Vanderlip said. 1T
is a campaign where it can be brought
to every mind that here is an indi-
vidual opportunity TO help win the
war that every time a man saves a dol
lar. every time that he refrains from
consuming material and employing
labor unnecessarily. he has released
material and labor for the Uses Of the
government and has made his direct
individual contribution 10 winning the
war.
You have rendered wonderful SER
vice in aid of the government in the
Liberty Loan campaigns. Here is a
continuous campaign; it is going TO
run for a year. Personally, I believe
the theory Of it is so good hat it will
run for many years. but congress has
authorized but a single issue of p
600, goo. 600. and We cannot predict
what may occur beyond that.
